CORE MOLDING TECHNOLOGIES REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE SECOND
QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2013

COLUMBUS, Ohio - August 12, 2013 - Core Molding Technologies, Inc. (NYSE Amex: CMT) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 was $1,589,000, or $0.22 per basic and $0.21 per diluted share, compared with $2,341,000, or $0.33 per basic and $0.32 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2012. Total net sales for the second quarter were $34,681,000, compared with $44,544,000 in the same quarter of 2012. Product sales totaled $32,146,000, decreasing 22% from $41,209,000 for the second quarter of 2012. The decrease in sales was primarily due to lower demand from North American heavy and medium-duty truck customers.

For the first six months of 2013, net income was $3,270,000 or $0.46 per basic and $0.44 per diluted share, compared with net income of $4,976,000, or $0.70 per basic and $0.67 per diluted share, for the same period of 2012. Total net sales for the first six months of 2013 were $69,043,000, compared with $89,073,000 for the same period of 2012. Product sales decreased 24%, to $65,004,000 through six months of 2013 compared to $85,540,000 for the same period in 2012.

Product sales for the second quarter 2013 have continued at similar levels achieved since the third quarter 2012 following a contraction in overall demand for North American heavy and medium duty trucks. Looking forward, the Company remains encouraged by recent truck industry analysts' forecasts for 2014, which project production levels to be well above the levels estimated for 2013. For the second half of 2013, industry analysts and several of the Company's customers are expecting an increase in truck production rates as compared to the first half of 2013.

"We continue to achieve solid results as we anticipate a return to higher sales levels," said Kevin L. Barnett, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are also encouraged by our opportunities with both existing and new customers along with our progress in the development of new materials," Barnett continued.
