Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim reporting, which are less than those required for annual reporting. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position of Core Molding Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Core Molding Technologies” or the “Company”) at June 30, 2013, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,” which are contained in the Company's 2012 Annual Report to Shareholders, should be read in conjunction with these consolidated financial statements.
Core Molding Technologies and its subsidiaries operate in the plastics market in a family of products known as “reinforced plastics.” Reinforced plastics are combinations of resins and reinforcing fibers (typically glass or carbon) that are molded to shape. Core Molding Technologies is a manufacturer of sheet molding compound ("SMC") and molder of fiberglass reinforced plastics. The Company specializes in large-format moldings and offers a wide range of fiberglass processes, including compression molding of SMC, glass mat thermoplastics ("GMT") and bulk molding compounds ("BMC"), as well as spray-up, hand-lay-up, and resin transfer molding ("RTM"). Additionally, the Company offers reaction injection molding ("RIM"), utilizing dicyclopentadiene technology. Core Molding Technologies maintains four production facilities in Columbus, Ohio; Batavia, Ohio; Gaffney, South Carolina; and Matamoros, Mexico.
The Company operates in one business segment as a manufacturer of SMC and molder of fiberglass reinforced plastics. The Company produces and sells SMC and molded products for varied markets, including medium and heavy-duty trucks, marine, automotive, agriculture, construction and other commercial products.
2. Net Income per Common Share
Net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed similarly but includes the effect of the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options and restricted stock under the treasury stock method.
The computation of basic and diluted net income per common share is as follows:

| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
| June 30, |  | June 30,
| 2013 |  | 2012 |  | 2013 |  | 2012
Net income | $ | 1,589,000 |  |  | $ | 2,341,000 |  |  | $ | 3,270,000 |  |  | $ | 4,976,000 |
Weighted average common shares outstanding — basic | 7,169,000 |  |  | 7,086,000 |  |  | 7,150,000 |  |  | 7,077,000 |
Effect of dilutive securities | 258,000 |  |  | 274,000 |  |  | 256,000 |  |  | 301,000 |
Weighted average common and potentially issuable common shares outstanding — diluted | 7,427,000 |  |  | 7,360,000 |  |  | 7,406,000 |  |  | 7,378,000 |
Basic net income per common share | $ | 0.22 |  |  | $ | 0.33 |  |  | $ | 0.46 |  |  | $ | 0.70 |
Diluted net income per common share | $ | 0.21 |  |  | $ | 0.32 |  |  | $ | 0.44 |  |  | $ | 0.67 |

At June 30, 2013 and 2012, all unexercised stock options were included in diluted earnings per share.

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The carrying amount of long-lived assets is evaluated annually to determine if an adjustment to the depreciation period or to the unamortized balance is warranted. Additions in progress were $5,528,000 and $454,000 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and primarily related to the Company's compression molding capacity expansion. The Company capitalized $13,000 and $139,000 of interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, purchase commitments for capital expenditures in progress were $5,419,000 and $662,000, respectively. At June 30, 2013, these commitments were primarily related to the Company's compression molding capacity expansion, which is discussed further in Note 6.

Credit Agreement
In 2008, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, CoreComposites de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V., entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) to refinance certain existing debt and borrow funds to finance the construction of the Company’s manufacturing facility in Mexico.

Table of Contents
Under this Credit Agreement, the Company received certain loans, subject to the terms and conditions stated in the agreement, which included (1) a $12,000,000 Capex loan; (2) an $8,000,000 Mexican loan; (3) an $8,000,000 variable rate revolving line of credit; (4) a letter of credit in an undrawn face amount of $3,332,493 with respect to the Company’s existing Industrial Development Revenue Bond (“IDRB”) financing. The Credit Agreement is secured by a guarantee of each U.S. subsidiary of the Company, and by a lien on substantially all of the present and future assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries, except that only 65% of the stock issued by CoreComposites de Mexico, S. de C.V. has been pledged. The $8,000,000 Mexican loan is also secured by substantially all of the present and future assets of the Company’s Mexican subsidiary.
In anticipation of funding needs for the Company's Matamoros, Mexico facility expansion, the Company amended the Credit Agreement in 2011 to secure an additional $10,000,000 Mexican Expansion Revolving Loan. No funds were ever drawn on this loan. As noted below, this loan was canceled effective March 27, 2013.
In order to support anticipated production levels, and to allow for additional capacity to provide for future growth, the Company is expanding its compression molding capacity. The Company is also considering an investment in additional SMC compounding capacity. To secure additional funding for these capacity expansions the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, CoreComposites de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V., entered into an eighth amendment (the "Eighth Amendment") to the Credit Agreement on March 27, 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the Eighth Amendment, the parties agreed to modify certain terms of the Credit Agreement. These modifications included (1) an increase to the borrowing limit on the revolving line of credit from $8,000,000 to $18,000,000; (2) modification to the fixed charge definition to exclude capital expenditures of up to $18,000,000 associated with the Company's compression molding capacity expansion and any SMC compounding capacity expansion; (3) extending the commitment period for the revolving line of credit to May 31, 2015; and (4) canceling, effective immediately, the Mexican Expansion Revolving Loan, which had a zero balance and was scheduled to expire on May 31, 2013.
Revolving Line of Credit
The $18,000,000 revolving line of credit bears interest at daily LIBOR plus 175 basis points and is collateralized by all of the present and future assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries (except that only 65% of the stock issued by CoreComposites de Mexico, S. de C.V. has been pledged). The Revolving Line of Credit, as amended, is scheduled to mature on May 31, 2015. There was no outstanding balance on the Revolving Line of Credit at June 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.
Bank Covenants
The Company is required to meet certain financial covenants included in the Credit Agreement with respect to leverage ratios, fixed charge ratios, capital expenditures as well as other customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants associated with the loans made under the Credit Agreement as described above.
Management regularly evaluates the Company’s ability to meet its debt covenants. Based upon the Company’s forecasts, which are primarily based on industry analysts’ estimates of heavy and medium-duty truck production volumes, as well as other assumptions, management believes that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with its financial covenants for the next 12 months.
Interest Rate Swaps
In conjunction with its variable rate IDRB, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement through April 2013, which was initially designated as a cash flow hedging instrument. The IDRB interest rate swap expired in April 2013 upon the payment in full of the IDRB financing. Under this agreement, the Company paid a fixed rate of 4.89% to the counterparty and received 76% of the 30-day commercial paper rate. During 2010, the Company determined this interest rate swap was no longer highly effective. As a result, the Company discontinued the use of hedge accounting effective January 1, 2010 related to this swap, and began recording mark-to-market adjustments within interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The pre-tax loss previously recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, totaling $200,000 as of December 31, 2009, was amortized as an increase to interest expense of $5,000 per month, or $3,000 net of tax, over the remaining term of the interest rate swap agreement. The IDRB was paid in full during April 2013. The fair value of the swap was a liability of $8,000 at December 31, 2012. The Company recorded interest income of $8,000 for a mark-to-market adjustment of swap fair value for 2013 related to this swap. The notional amount of the swap at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $0 and $420,000, respectively.
Effective December 18, 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that became effective May 1, 2009 and continues through May 2016, which was designated as a cash flow hedge of the $12,000,000 Capex loan. Under this agreement,
11

Table of Contents
the Company pays a fixed rate of 2.295% to the counterparty and receives LIBOR (0.19% at June 30, 2013). Effective March 31, 2009, the interest terms in the Company’s Credit Agreement related to the $12,000,000 Capex loan were amended. The Company then determined that this interest rate swap was no longer highly effective. As a result, the Company discontinued the use of hedge accounting effective March 31, 2009 related to this swap, and began recording mark-to-market adjustments within interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The pre-tax loss previously recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, totaling $146,000 as of March 31, 2009, is being amortized as an increase to interest expense of $2,000 per month, or $1,000 net of tax, over the remaining term of the interest rate swap agreement. The fair value of the swap as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was a liability of $143,000 and $205,000, respectively. The Company recorded interest income of $62,000 for a mark-to-market adjustment of swap fair value for the first six months of 2013 related to this swap. The notional amount of the swap at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $5,000,000 and $5,857,000, respectively.
Interest expense included $31,000 and $43,000 of expense for settlements related to the Company’s swaps for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, interest expense included $62,000 and $93,000, respectively, of expense for settlements related to the Company’s swaps.
7. Income Taxes
The Company’s consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 include a net deferred tax asset of $3,198,000 and $3,164,000, respectively. The Company performs analyses to evaluate the balance of deferred tax assets that will be realized. Such analyses are based on the premise that the Company is, and will continue to be, a going concern and that it is more likely than not that deferred tax benefits will be realized through the generation of future taxable income.
Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 is estimated to be $1,709,000, or 34% of income before income taxes. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was estimated to be $2,356,000, or 32% of income before income taxes.
As of June 30, 2013, the Company had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not anticipate that the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next twelve months.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, Mexico and various state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2009, and no longer subject to Mexican income tax examinations by Mexican authorities for the years before 2008.
8. Share Based Compensation
The Company has a Long Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), as approved by the Company’s stockholders in May 2006. This 2006 Plan replaced the Long Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “Original Plan”) as originally approved by the stockholders in May 1997 and as amended in May 2000. The 2006 Plan allows for grants to directors and employees of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance shares, performance units and other incentive awards (“Stock Awards”) up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 awards, each representing a right to buy a share of Core Molding Technologies common stock. Stock Awards can be granted under the 2006 Plan through the earlier of December 31, 2015, or the date the maximum number of available awards under the 2006 Plan have been granted.

Restricted Stock
In 2006, the Company began granting shares of its common stock to certain directors, officers, and key managers in the form of unvested stock (“Restricted Stock”). These awards are recorded at the market value of Core Molding Technologies’ common stock on the date of issuance and amortized ratably as compensation expense over the applicable vesting period.
The following summarizes the status of Restricted Stock grants as of June 30, 2013 and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2013:

| Number of Shares |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance at December 31, 2012 | 139,730 |  |  | $ | 6.77 |

Table of Contents
During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, employees surrendered 28,645 and 11,624 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock to satisfy income tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock.
9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of long-term debt, interest rate swaps, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximated their fair value.
The level in the fair value hierarchy disclosed is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets for identical asset or liabilities, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data.
The Company has two Level 2 fair value measurements both of which relate to the Company’s interest rate swaps. The IDRB interest rate swap expired in April 2013 upon the payment in full of the IDRB facility. The Company utilizes interest rate swap contracts to manage its targeted mix of fixed and floating rate debt, and these swaps are valued using observable benchmark rates at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the swaps (market approach). These interest rate swaps are discussed in detail in Note 6.
The following table presents financial liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

|  |  | (Level 2)
| Balance Sheet Location |  | June 30, 2013 Fair Value |  |  | December 31, 2012 Fair Value |
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Interest rate risk activities | Interest rate swaps |  | $ | 143,000 |  |  | $ | 213,000 |

There were no non-recurring fair value measurements for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
The effect of derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Income was as follows:

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments |  | Location of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivative |  | Amount of Realized/Unrealized Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivatives
Three months ended |  |  |  | June 30, 2013 |  | June 30, 2012
Interest rate swaps |  | Interest expense |  | $ | 30,000 |  |  | $ | 2,000 |
Six months ended |  |  |  |  |  |
Interest rate swaps |  | Interest expense |  | $ | 44,000 |  |  | $ | 14,000 |

As discussed in Note 6, the Company discontinued the use of hedge accounting for its two interest rate swaps, effective March 31, 2009 for the Capex swap and January 1, 2010 for the IDRB swap. The Company now records all mark-to-market adjustments related to these interest rate swaps within interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, since the date the Company discontinued hedge accounting for each swap. It is anticipated that during the next twelve months the expiration and settlement of cash flow hedge contracts along with the amortization of losses on discontinued hedges will result in income statement recognition of amounts currently classified in accumulated other comprehensive loss of approximately $21,000, or $14,000 net of taxes.

The tax effect of losses on interest rate swaps reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income is included in income tax expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
(B) The effect of post retirement benefit items reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income is included in total cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Income. These Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income components are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost (see Note 5. Post Retirement Benefits for additional details). The tax effect of post retirement benefit items reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income is included in income tax expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) — Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02). The amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. ASU 2013-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012. An entity should provide the required disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. As this accounting standard only requires enhanced disclosure, the adoption of this standard did not impact the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. As a general matter, forward-looking statements are those focused upon future plans, objectives or performance as opposed to historical items and include statements of anticipated events or trends and expectations and beliefs relating to matters not historical in nature. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to Core Molding Technologies' operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Core Molding Technologies' control. These uncertainties and factors could cause Core Molding Technologies’ actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Core Molding Technologies believes that the following factors, among others, could affect its future performance and cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements made in this report: business conditions in the plastics, transportation, marine and commercial product industries; federal and state regulations (including engine emission regulations); general economic, social and political environments in the countries in which Core Molding Technologies operates; safety and security conditions in Mexico; dependence upon certain major customers as the primary source of Core Molding Technologies’ sales revenues; efforts of Core Molding Technologies to expand its customer base; the actions of competitors, customers, and suppliers; failure of Core Molding Technologies’ suppliers to perform their obligations; the availability of raw materials; inflationary pressures; new technologies; regulatory matters; labor relations; the loss or inability of Core Molding Technologies to attract and retain key personnel; federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations; the availability of capital; the ability of Core Molding Technologies to provide on-time delivery to customers, which may require additional shipping expenses to ensure on-time delivery or otherwise result in late fees; risk of cancellation or rescheduling of orders; management’s decision to pursue new products or businesses which involve additional costs, risks or capital expenditures; and other risks identified from time to time in Core Molding Technologies’ other public documents on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those described in Item 1A of the 2012 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K.
Description of the Company
Core Molding Technologies is a manufacturer of sheet molding compound ("SMC") and molder of fiberglass reinforced plastics. The Company specializes in large-format moldings and offers a wide range of fiberglass processes, including compression molding of SMC, glass mat thermoplastics ("GMT") and bulk molding compounds ("BMC"); spray-up, hand-lay-up, and resin transfer molding ("RTM"). Additionally, the Company offers reaction injection molding ("RIM"), utilizing dicyclopentadiene technology. Core Molding Technologies serves a wide variety of markets, including medium and heavy-duty truck, marine, automotive, agriculture, construction and other commercial products. Product sales to heavy and medium-duty truck markets accounted for 81% and 86% of the Company’s sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The demand for Core Molding Technologies’ products is affected by economic conditions in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Core Molding Technologies’ manufacturing operations have a significant fixed cost component. Accordingly, during periods of changing demand, the profitability of Core Molding Technologies’ operations may change proportionately more than revenues from operations.
In 1996, Core Molding Technologies acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Columbus Plastics, a wholly owned operating unit of Navistar’s truck manufacturing division since its formation in late 1980. Columbus Plastics, located in Columbus, Ohio, was a compounder and compression molder of SMC. In 1998, Core Molding Technologies began operations at its second facility in Gaffney, South Carolina, and in 2001, Core Molding Technologies acquired certain assets of Airshield Corporation. As a result of this acquisition, Core Molding Technologies expanded its fiberglass molding capabilities to include the spray up, hand-lay-up open mold processes and RTM closed molding. In 2004, Core Molding Technologies acquired substantially all the operating assets of Keystone Restyling Products, Inc., a privately held manufacturer and distributor of fiberglass reinforced products for the automotive-aftermarket industry. In 2005, Core Molding Technologies acquired certain assets of the Cincinnati Fiberglass Division of Diversified Glass, Inc., a Batavia, Ohio-based, privately held manufacturer and distributor of fiberglass reinforced plastic components supplied primarily to the heavy-duty truck market. In 2009, the Company completed construction of a production facility in Matamoros, Mexico that replaced its leased facility. In July 2011, the Company formed Core Specialty Composites and leased a facility in Warsaw, Kentucky to produce parts for customers outside of the Company’s traditional markets. Due to changing market conditions for products manufactured at the Warsaw facility, the Company terminated its lease and closed its Warsaw facility in October 2012.

Overview
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded net income of $3,270,000, or $0.46 per basic and $0.44 per diluted share, compared with net income of $4,976,000, or $0.7 per basic and $0.67 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Product sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased 24% as compared to the same period in 2012. This decrease was primarily the result of decreased demand from North American heavy and medium-duty truck customers that began during the second half of 2012.
Looking forward, the Company anticipates sales levels in the second half of 2013 to increase as compared to the second half of 2012 based on industry and customer forecasts as well as new program launches.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2013, as Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2012
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 totaled $34,681,000 and $44,544,000, respectively. Included in total sales were tooling project sales of $2,535,000 and $3,335,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Tooling project sales result from billings to customers primarily for molds and assembly equipment specific to their products as well as other non-production billings. These sales are sporadic in nature and fluctuate in regard to scope and related revenue on a period-to-period basis. Total product sales, excluding tooling project sales, were approximately 22% lower for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same period a year ago. The primary reason for the decrease was lower demand from North American heavy and medium-duty truck customers.
Sales to Navistar totaled $12,540,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, decreasing 22% from $16,018,000 in sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Included in total sales was $560,000 of tooling sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $963,000 for the same three months in 2012. Product sales to Navistar decreased 20% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year due to an overall decline in demand from Navistar.
Sales to PACCAR totaled $12,590,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, decreasing 18% from $15,278,000 in sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Included in total sales was $1,560,000 of tooling sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $196,000 for the same three months in 2012. Product sales to PACCAR decreased 27% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year due to lower demand from PACCAR as well lower sales for certain products reaching the end of production life.
Sales to Yamaha totaled $2,907,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, decreasing 22% from $3,743,000 in sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in sales to Yamaha was primarily due to lower demand.
Sales to other customers for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased 30% to $6,644,000 compared to $9,505,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Included in total sales was $415,000 of tooling sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $2,176,000 for the same three months in 2012. Product sales to other customers decreased 15% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in product sales to other customers was the result of lower demand from other customers in the heavy and medium-duty truck industry. These decreases were partially offset by increased sales to customers in the automotive industry from programs launched in 2012.
Gross margin was approximately 17% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared with 16% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. A change in the Company's sales mix to products with higher margins had a favorable impact on gross margin as a percent of sales by 2%. Lower absorption of fixed costs of production negatively impacted gross margin by approximately 2%, due to reduced sales volume. Comparatively, gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was unfavorably impacted by 1% of sales due to start-up costs and production inefficiencies at the Company's Warsaw, Kentucky facility which was closed in October 2012.
Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) was $3,489,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $3,587,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Contributing to the decrease in SG&A expense were lower profit sharing expense of $124,000 and lower travel expense of $49,000. Partially offsetting these decreases were increases in SG&A labor and benefits.
Net interest expense totaled $49,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to net interest expense of $16,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The Company recorded capitalized interest of $13,000 and $122,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Capitalized interest related to the Company's compression molding capacity expansion

in 2013 and the Matamoros facility expansion in 2012. Reductions in outstanding loan balances due to regularly scheduled principal payments reduced interest expense by $49,000. In addition, mark-to-market adjustments and reductions in accumulated loss amortization on the Company's interest rate swaps had a favorable impact of $27,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately 35% and 32%, respectively, of total income before income tax. Income tax expense increased as a percent of income before income taxes primarily due to a lower percentage of Mexican income, which has a lower effective tax rate, for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
The Company recorded net income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 of $1,589,000, or $0.22 per basic and $0.21 per diluted share, compared with net income of $2,341,000, or $0.33 per basic and $0.32 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2013, as Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2012
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $69,043,000, representing an approximate 22% decrease from the $89,073,000 reported for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Included in total sales were tooling project sales of $4,039,000 and $3,533,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Tooling project sales result from billings to customers primarily for molds and assembly equipment specific to their products as well as other non-production billings. These sales are sporadic in nature and fluctuate in regard to scope and related revenue on a period-to-period basis. Total product sales, excluding tooling project sales, were approximately 24% lower for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same period a year ago. The primary reason for the decrease in product sales was lower demand from North American heavy and medium-duty truck customers.
Sales to Navistar totaled $24,807,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, decreasing 25% from $32,892,000 in sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Included in total sales was $589,000 of tooling sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $1,038,000 for the same six months in 2012. Product sales to Navistar decreased by 24% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year due to an overall decline in demand from Navistar.
Sales to PACCAR totaled $24,061,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, decreasing 24% from $31,811,000 in sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Included in total sales was $2,209,000 of tooling sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $290,000 for the same six months in 2012. Product sales to PACCAR decreased 31% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in sales to PACCAR was primarily due to lower demand from PACCAR as well as lower sales for certain products reaching the end of their production life.
Sales to Yamaha totaled $6,914,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, decreasing 13% from $7,946,000 in sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012. There were no tooling sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $4,000 for the same six months in 2012. The decrease in sales to Yamaha was primarily due to lower demand.
Sales to other customers for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased 19% to $13,261,000 compared to $16,424,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Included in total sales was $1,241,000 of tooling sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $2,201,000 for the same six months in 2012. Product sales to other customers decreased 15% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in product sales to other customers was the result of lower demand from other customers in the heavy and medium-duty truck industry. These decreases were partially offset by increased sales to customers in the automotive industry from programs launched in 2012.
Gross margin was approximately 17% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared with 16% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. A change in the Company's sales mix to products with higher margins had a favorable impact on gross margin as a percent of sales by 1%. Lower absorption of fixed costs of production negatively impacted gross margin by approximately 2%, due to reduced sales volume. Comparatively, gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was unfavorably impacted by 2% of sales due to start-up costs and production inefficiencies at the Company's Warsaw, Kentucky facility which was closed in October 2012.
Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) was $6,762,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $7,200,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Contributing to the decrease in SG&A was lower profit sharing expense of $317,000. Outside service fees and travel expenses also decreased by $104,000 and $99,000, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by higher SG&A labor and benefit costs of $133,000.
Interest expense totaled $138,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to interest expense of $125,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The Company recorded capitalized interest of $13,000 and $139,000 for the three months ended

June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Reductions in outstanding loan balances due to regularly scheduled principal payments also reduced interest expense by $88,000.
Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was approximately 34% of income before income taxes. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was approximately 32% of income before income taxes. Income tax expense increased as a percent of income before income taxes primarily due to lower percentage of Mexican income, which has a lower effective tax rate, in 2013.
The Company recorded net income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $3,270,000, or $0.46 per basic and $0.44 per diluted share, compared with net income of $4,976,000, or $0.7 per basic and $0.67 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s primary sources of funds have been cash generated from operating activities and borrowings from third parties. Primary cash requirements are for operating expenses, increases in working capital and capital expenditures.
Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $5,899,000. Net income of $3,270,000 positively impacted operating cash flows. Non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization contributed $2,476,000 to operating cash flow. Changes in working capital increased cash provided by operating activities by $212,000. Changes in working capital primarily related to increases in accounts payable and inventories at June 30, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012. These were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accrued liabilities, which included amounts accrued for profit sharing at December 31, 2012 that were paid in 2013.
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $5,408,000, which primarily represented progress payments on equipment related to the Company's compression molding capacity expansion. In order to support anticipated production levels, and to allow for additional capacity to provide for future growth, the Company is expanding its compression molding capacity. The Company is also considering an investment in additional SMC compounding capacity. The Company plans to invest up to $12,500,000 for the compression molding capacity expansion project, of which approximately $4,300,000 had been spent as of June 30, 2013. In total, the Company anticipates spending up to $10,000,000 during the remainder of 2013 on property, plant and equipment purchases for all of the Company's operations. At June 30, 2013, purchase commitments for capital expenditures in progress were $5,419,000, and were primarily related to the Company's compression molding capacity expansion project.
Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $3,004,000, which was primarily a result of scheduled repayments of principal on the Company’s outstanding loans.
At June 30, 2013, the Company had $5,325,000 in cash on hand, and a revolving line of credit of $18,000,000. To secure additional funding for the capacity expansion as noted above, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, CoreComposities de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V., entered into an eighth amendment (the "Eighth Amendment") to the Credit Agreement on March 27, 2013. These modifications included (1) an increase to the borrowing limit on the revolving line of credit from $8,000,000 to $18,000,000; (2) modification to the fixed charge definition to exclude capital expenditures of up to $18,000,000 associated with the Company's compression molding capacity expansion and any SMC compounding capacity expansion; (3) extending the commitment period for the revolving line of credit to May 31, 2015; and (4) canceling, effective immediately, the Mexican Expansion Revolving Loan as described below, which had a zero balance and was scheduled to expire on May 31, 2013.
The Company is required to meet certain financial covenants included in the Credit Agreement with respect to leverage ratios, fixed charge ratios, capital expenditures as well as other customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants.
Management regularly evaluates the Company’s ability to effectively meet its debt covenants based on the Company’s forecasts. Based on the Company’s forecasts which are primarily based on industry analysts’ estimates of heavy and medium-duty truck production volumes, as well as other assumptions, management believes that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with its financial covenants for the next 12 months. Management believes that cash flow from operating activities and available borrowings under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to meet the Company’s liquidity needs. If a material adverse change in the financial position of Core Molding Technologies should occur, or if actual sales or expenses are substantially different than what has been forecasted, Core Molding Technologies’ liquidity and ability to obtain further financing to fund future operating and capital requirements could be negatively impacted.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) — Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02). The amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. ASU 2013-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012. An entity should provide the required disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. As this accounting standard only requires enhanced disclosure, the adoption of this standard did not impact the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discuss the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to accounts receivable, inventories, self-insurance, post retirement benefits, and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Accounts receivable allowances: Management maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payment s, additional allowances may be required. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $247,000 and $258,000 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Management also records estimates for customer returns and deductions, discounts offered to customers, and for price adjustments. Should customer returns and deductions, discounts, and price adjustments fluctuate from the estimated amounts, additional allowances may be required. The Company has reduced accounts receivable for chargebacks by $833,000 at June 30, 2013 and $984,000 at December 31, 2012.
Inventories: Inventories, which include material, labor and manufacturing overhead, are valued at the lower of cost or market. The inventories are accounted for using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of determining inventory costs. Inventory quantities on-hand are regularly reviewed, and where necessary, provisions for excess and obsolete inventory are recorded based on historical and anticipated usage. The Company has recorded an allowance for slow moving and obsolete inventory of $960,000 at June 30, 2013 and $987,000 at December 31, 2012.
Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment. The recoverability of long-lived assets is evaluated by an analysis of operating results and consideration of other significant events or changes in the business environment. The Company evaluates whether impairment exists for property, plant and equipment on the basis of undiscounted expected future cash flows from operations before interest. There was no impairment of the Company's long-lived assets for the six months ended June 30, 2013 or June 30, 2012.
Goodwill: Core Molding Technologies acquired certain assets of Airshield Corporation in 2001, and as a result, recorded goodwill related to its Matamoros, Mexico operations in the amount of $1,097,000. The Company evaluates goodwill annually on December 31 to determine whether impairment exists, or at interim periods if an indicator of possible impairment exists. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment using fair value measurements based on a projected discounted cash flow valuation model, in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.” If impairment exists, the carrying amount of the goodwill is reduced to its estimated fair value. There was no impairment of the Company's goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2013 or June 30, 2012.
Self-Insurance: The Company is self-insured with respect to its Columbus and Batavia, Ohio, Gaffney, South Carolina and Brownsville, Texas medical, dental and vision claims and Columbus and Batavia, Ohio workers’ compensation claims, all of which are subject to stop-loss insurance thresholds. The Company has recorded an estimated liability for self-insured medical and dental claims incurred but not reported and worker’s compensation claims incurred but not reported at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 of $1,101,000 and $1,065,000, respectively.
Post retirement benefits: Management records an accrual for post retirement costs associated with the health care plan sponsored by Core Molding Technologies. Should actual results differ from the assumptions used to determine the reserves, additional provisions may be required. In particular, increases in future healthcare costs above the assumptions could have an adverse effect on Core Molding Technologies’ operations. The effect of a change in healthcare costs is described in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which are contained in the Company's 2012 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. Core Molding Technologies had a liability for post retirement healthcare benefits based on actuarially computed estimates of $9,876,000 at June 30, 2013 and $9,987,000 at December 31, 2012.

Revenue Recognition: Revenue from product sales is recognized at the time products are shipped and title transfers. Allowances for returned products and other credits are estimated and recorded as revenue is recognized. Tooling revenue is recognized when the customer approves the tool and accepts ownership. Progress billings and expenses are shown net as an asset or liability on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Tooling in progress can fluctuate significantly from period to period and is dependent upon the stage of tooling projects and the related billing and expense payment timetable for individual projects and therefore does not necessarily reflect projected income or loss from tooling projects. At June 30, 2013, the Company had a net asset related to tooling in progress of $386,000, which represented approximately $4,542,000 of progress tooling billings and $4,928,000 of progress tooling expenses. At December 31, 2012, the Company had a net liability related to tooling in progress of $3,000, which represented approximately $6,624,000 of progress tooling billings and $6,621,000 of progress tooling expenses.
Income taxes: The Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, included a deferred tax asset of $3,198,000 and $3,164,000, respectively. The Company performs analyses to evaluate the balance of deferred tax assets that will be realized. Such analyses are based on the premise that the Company is, and will continue to be, a going concern and that it is more likely than not that deferred tax benefits will be realized through the generation of future taxable income. For more information, refer to Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which are contained in the Company's 2012 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Core Molding Technologies’ primary market risk results from changes in the price of commodities used in its manufacturing operations. Core Molding Technologies is also exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations associated with the Mexican Peso. Core Molding Technologies does not hold any material market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.
Core Molding Technologies has the following four items that are sensitive to market risks: (1) Revolving Line of Credit and Mexican Loan payable under the Credit Agreement, each of which bears a variable interest rate; (2) Capex Loan payable with a variable interest rate (although the Company has an interest rate swap to fix the variable portion of the applicable interest rate at 2.3%); (3) foreign currency purchases in which the Company purchases Mexican pesos with United States dollars to meet certain obligations that arise due to operations at the facility located in Mexico; and (4) raw material purchases in which Core Molding Technologies purchases various resins and fiberglass for use in production. The prices and availability of these materials are affected by the prices of crude oil and natural gas as well as processing capacity versus demand.
Assuming a hypothetical 10% increase in commodity prices, Core Molding Technologies would be impacted by an increase in raw material costs, which would have an adverse effect on operating margins.
Assuming a hypothetical 10% change in short-term interest rates, interest paid on the Company’s Line of Credit and the Mexican Loan would have been impacted, as the interest rate on these loans is based upon LIBOR, however, it would not have a material effect on earnings before tax.
A 10% change in future interest rate curves would impact the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps.
