<P align="center" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>CORE MOLDING TECHNOLOGIES REPORTS RESULTS<BR>
FOR THE YEAR AND FOURTH QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">COLUMBUS, Ohio &#150; April&nbsp;2, 2009 &#150; Core Molding Technologies, Inc. (NYSE Amex: CMT) today
announced results for the year and fourth quarter ended December&nbsp;31, 2008.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Net income for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 was $5,643,000, or $.84 per basic and $.81 per
diluted share, compared with $3,726,000, or $.43 per basic and $.41 per diluted share, for the year
ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. Total net sales for 2008 were $116,655,000 compared with $122,712,000 for
2007.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Product sales for 2008 increased 9% to $110,539,000 from $101,045,000 for 2007. The increase
in product sales is primarily due to increased volume for new production programs begun in 2007 and
2008. Tooling sales totaled $6,116,000 for 2008 versus $21,667,000 for 2007. Revenue from
tooling is sporadic in nature and does not represent a recurring trend.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Total net sales for the fourth quarter were $27,600,000, compared with $23,268,000 in the same
quarter of 2007. Product sales totaled $25,663,000 up 17% from $21,965,000 for the fourth quarter
2007.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Net income for the quarter ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 was $1,375,000, or $.20 per basic and
diluted share, compared with $530,000, or $.08 per basic and diluted share, in the fourth quarter
of 2007.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;Overall 2008 was a very good year for Core Molding Technologies,&#148; said Kevin L. Barnett,
President and Chief Executive Officer. &#147;Even in this tough economic climate, our product sales
increased as a result of new production models we have recently launched for our customers. More
significantly, our profitability increased 51% over 2007 as a result of improvements in our
production efficiencies, reductions in our fixed manufacturing expenses and as a result of better
fixed cost absorption associated with higher production volumes,&#148; Barnett said. &#147;We have also
continued to make good progress on the construction of our new manufacturing facility in Matamoros,
Mexico. In March&nbsp;2009, we started up production trials in the facility and we expect to be fully
operational in the new facility by the end of the second quarter of 2009,&#148; continued Barnett.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">&#147;Looking forward, 2009 will be a challenging year considering the weakness in the overall
economy as well as the truck industry outlook. Industry analysts are forecasting an overall
decrease in heavy duty truck production of approximately 30% over 2008 levels. Furthermore, we
expect to incur approximately $2,000,000 of transition and start up expenses related to our new
facility in Mexico in the first half of 2009,&#148; said Barnett. &#147;In response to the decreased sales
levels and our new start up, we are focused on reducing costs and adjusting our operations
accordingly. We believe these actions will lessen the impact of these conditions. However, our
2009 profitability will be challenged, particularly in the first half of the year,&#148; continued
Barnett.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;As in past down cycles, we will actively manage our operations in light of business
conditions while continuing to focus our efforts on expanding our customer relationships and
improving our operations to continue our previous levels of success,&#148; said Barnett.
