CORE MOLDING TECHNOLOGIES REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE YEAR

AND FOURTH QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013

COLUMBUS, Ohio - March 12, 2014 - Core Molding Technologies, Inc. (NYSE MKT: CMT) today announced results for the year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, net income was $6,866,000 or $0.95 per basic and $0.92 per diluted share, compared with net income of $8,190,000, or $1.15 per basic and $1.11 per diluted share, for the same period of 2012. Total net sales for 2013 were $144,125,000, compared with $162,450,000 for the same period of 2012. Product sales decreased 10%, to $134,096,000 in 2013 compared to $149,698,000 for the same period in 2012.

Net income for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013 was $1,636,000, or $0.22 per basic and diluted share, compared with $2,063,000, or $0.29 per basic and $0.28 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2012. Total net sales for the fourth quarter were $37,648,000 , compared with $35,696,000 in the same quarter of 2012. Product sales totaled $36,750,000, increasing 15% from $32,009,000 for the fourth quarter of 2012.

"Overall 2013 was a solid year. While sales were impacted by lower demand from our truck customers, we were able to improve our gross margins on a year over year basis and control SG&A expenses to achieve a reasonable level of profitability. We were also successful in winning new business from several customers including a meaningful award from Volvo Group North America LLC.,” said Kevin L. Barnett, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In the fourth quarter we saw the benefit of these new business awards as product sales increased almost $6 million. However, gross margins in the fourth quarter were negatively impacted as we experienced significant training and startup inefficiencies in moving over 175 molds and production fixtures into full production to support this new business," Barnett continued.

"Going forward we expect 2014 sales to exceed 2013 as a result of both new business and increased overall demand. Gross margins are also expected to rebound, starting in the first quarter, as we work through the startup inefficiencies and gain more experience with the many new programs launched in 2013,” Barnett added.
