COLUMBUS, Ohio - November 5, 2014 - Core Molding Technologies, Inc. (NYSE MKT: CMT) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.

Net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014 was $2,428,000, or $0.32 per basic and diluted share, compared with $1,960,000 or $0.27 per basic and $0.26 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2013. Total net sales for the third quarter were $43,591,000, compared with $37,434,000 in the same quarter of 2013. Product sales totaled $43,171,000, increasing 33% from $32,342,000 for the third quarter of 2013.

For the first nine months of 2014, net income was $7,068,000 or $0.94 per basic and diluted share, compared with net income of $5,230,000, or $0.73 per basic and $0.71 per diluted share, for the same period of 2013. Total net sales for the first nine months of 2014 were $130,790,000, compared with $106,477,000 for the same period of 2013. Product sales increased 31%, to $127,152,000 through nine months of 2014 compared to $97,346,000 for the same period in 2013.

"We continued to see strong sales growth in the third quarter from several of our customers which drove our increase in earnings of nearly 24% over 2013. Additionally, our continued efforts to improve operations resulted in an increase in our gross margin to about 19% for the quarter," said Kevin L. Barnett, President and Chief Executive Officer. "For the year, net sales and earnings have increased by 23% and 35%, respectively as a result of new business, increased demand and improved operating performance,” Barnett continued.

“Although fourth quarter 2013 revenues included the first substantive revenues from our new business with Volvo Group North America, LLC., we believe that the results for the fourth quarter 2014 will be favorable to 2013,” Barnett continued. “The fourth quarter results should bring to a close a solid overall 2014 for the Company,” Barnett added.
