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 September 30, 2018, and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Company has reclassified certain prior-year amounts to conform to the current-year's presentation. The “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in the Company's 2017 Annual Report to Shareholders, should be read in conjunction with these consolidated financial statements.

Core Molding Technologies is a manufacturer of sheet molding compound ("SMC") and molder of thermoset and thermoplastic products. The Company produces high quality molded products, assemblies and SMC materials for varied markets, including medium and heavy-duty trucks, automotive, marine, home improvement, water management, agriculture, construction and other commercial markets. The Company offers customers a wide range of manufacturing processes to fit various program volume and investment requirements. These processes include compression molding of SMC, bulk molding compounds (BMC), resin transfer molding (RTM), liquid molding of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), spray-up and hand-lay-up, glass mat thermoplastics (GMT), direct long-fiber thermoplastics (D-LFT) and structural foam and web injection molding. Core Molding Technologies has its headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, and operates production facilities in Columbus and Batavia, Ohio; Gaffney, South Carolina; Winona, Minnesota; Matamoros and Escobedo, Mexico; and Cobourg, Ontario, Canada.

2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

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. 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.

Revenue Recognition: The Company historically has recognized revenue from two streams, product revenue and tooling revenue. Product revenue is earned from the manufacture and sale of sheet molding compound and thermoset and thermoplastic products. Revenue from product sales is generally recognized as products are shipped, as the Company transfers title and risk of ownership to the customer and is entitled to payment upon shipment. In limited circumstances, the Company recognizes revenue from product sales when products are produced and the customer takes title and risk of ownership at our production facility.

Tooling revenue is earned from manufacturing multiple tools, molds and assembly equipment as part of a tooling program for a customer. Given that the Company is providing a significant service of producing highly interdependent component parts of the tooling program, each tooling program consists of a single performance obligation to provide the customer the capability to produce a single product. Based on the arrangement with the customer, the Company recognizes revenue either at a point in time or over time. When the Company does not have an enforceable right to payment, the Company recognizes tooling revenue at a point in time. In such cases, the Company recognizes revenue upon customer acceptance, which is when the customer has legal title to the tools. The Company historically recognized all tooling revenue at a point in time, upon customer acceptance, before the adoption of ASU 2014-09.

Certain tooling programs include an enforceable right to payment. In those cases, the Company recognizes revenue over time based on the extent of progress towards completion of its performance obligation. The Company uses a cost-to-cost measure of progress for such contracts because it best depicts the transfer of value to the customer and also correlates with the amount of consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to the customer.

Table of Contents

Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred.

Income taxes: The Company’s consolidated balance sheets include a net non-current deferred tax liability of $395,000 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Company evaluates the balance of deferred tax assets that will be realized based on the premise that the Company is more likely than not to realize deferred tax benefits through the generation of future taxable income. For more information, refer to Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's 2017 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K.

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 payments, additional allowances may be required. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $18,000 and zero at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Management also records estimates for chargebacks for customer returns and deductions, discounts offered to customers, and price adjustments. Should customer chargebacks fluctuate from the estimated amounts, additional allowances may be required. The Company reduced accounts receivable for chargebacks by $2,163,000 at September 30, 2018 and $857,000 at December 31, 2017.

Inventories: Inventories, which include material, labor and manufacturing overhead, are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. 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 $715,000 at September 30, 2018 and $624,000 at December 31, 2017.

Contract Assets/Liabilities: Contract assets and liabilities represent the net cumulative customer billings, vendor payments and revenue recognized for tooling programs. For tooling programs where net revenue recognized and vendor payments exceed customer billings, the Company recognizes a contract asset. For tooling programs where net customer billings exceed revenue recognized and vendor payments, the Company recognizes a contract liability. Customer payment terms vary by contract and can range from progress payments based on work performed or one single payment once the contract is completed. Contract assets are generally classified as current. The Company has recorded contract assets in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized no impairments on contract assets. Contract liabilities are also generally classified as current. The Company has recorded contract liabilities in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized revenue of $561,000 related to contract liabilities.

Derivative instruments: Derivative instruments are utilized to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates on long term debt obligations. All derivative instruments are formally documented as cash flow hedges and are recorded at fair value at each reporting period. Gains and losses related to currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps are deferred and recorded as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity and then subsequently recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income when the hedged item affects net income. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of a hedge, if any, is recognized in income immediately. For additional information on derivative instruments, see Note 14.

Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangibles. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2018 or September 30, 2017.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles: The Company evaluates goodwill annually on December 31st to determine whether impairment exists, or at interim periods if an indicator of possible impairment exists. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment utilizing the one-step qualitative assessment. The Company considers relevant events and circumstances that affect the fair value or carrying amount of the Company. Such events and circumstances could include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, entity specific events and capital markets pricing. The Company places more weight on the events and circumstances that most affect the Company's fair value or carrying amount. These factors are all considered by management in reaching its conclusion about whether to perform the first step of the impairment test.

If the Company's fair value is determined to be more likely than not impaired based on the one-step qualitative approach, a quantitative valuation to estimate the fair value of the Company is performed. Fair value measurements are based on a projected discounted cash flow valuation model, in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.”

Table of Contents

There was no impairment of the Company's goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2017, and no indicators of impairment for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Self-Insurance: The Company is self-insured with respect to its Columbus and Batavia, Ohio, Gaffney, South Carolina, Winona, Minnesota 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 is also self-insured for dental and vision with respect to its Cobourg, Canada location. The Company has recorded an estimated liability for self-insured medical, dental, vision and worker’s compensation claims incurred but not reported at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 of $949,000 and $862,000, 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 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's 2017 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 $9,020,000 at September 30, 2018 and $9,050,000 at December 31, 2017.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC Topic 606 is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC Topic 606 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The effective date for ASC Topic 606, as updated by ASU No. 2015-14, is the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. ASU 2014-09 affects the timing of certain revenue-related transactions primarily resulting from the earlier recognition of the Company's tooling sales and costs. The Company adopted this update as required through a cumulative adjustment to equity and contract assets of $1,069,000 on January 1, 2018. The transitional practical expedient related to contract modifications has been applied and the Company has not retrospectively restated contracts that were modified prior to January 1, 2018. Therefore, the comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under Topic 605. See Note 2, Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, for the Company's policy on Revenue Recognition and Note 16, Changes in Accounting Policies, for further discussion on the effect of the adoption of ASC Topic 606 on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update requires organizations to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and also disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual period.

In accordance with ASU 2016-02, we plan to elect not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of twelve months or less. The ASU requires a modified retrospective transition method, or a transition method option under ASU 2018-11, with the option to elect a package of practical expedients that permits the Company to: a. not reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain leases, b. not reassess lease classification for existing or expired leases and c. not consider whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would be appropriate under the new standard. The Company will elect to apply the package of practical expedients.

The Company is assessing the impact of this pronouncement and revised guidance and anticipates it will impact the presentation of our lease assets and liabilities and associated disclosures related to the recognition of lease assets and liabilities that are not included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets under existing accounting guidance. The adoption of pronouncement will have a significant impact on our consolidated balance sheet, but is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated statement of income or statement of cash flows. We will adopt this new accounting standard on its effective date of January 1, 2019. We have not yet determined the dollar impact of recording leases on our consolidated balance sheet.

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost ("ASU 2017-07"). The amendments in this update require that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net periodic cost (benefit) and report that component in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees during the period. The other components of net periodic cost (benefit) are required to be presented in the statement of operations separately from the

Table of Contents

service cost component and outside of operating earnings. The amendment also allows for the service cost component of net periodic cost (benefit) to be eligible for capitalization when applicable. The guidance was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and interim periods within that reporting period. The income statement presentation of the components of net periodic cost (benefit) was applied retrospectively, while limiting the capitalization of net periodic cost (benefit) in assets to the service cost component was applied prospectively. The Company adopted this standard update as required on January 1, 2018 and the impact of adoption resulted in a reclassification of all components of net periodic benefit from operating earnings to other income in the amount of $12,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $36,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders' equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders' equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. This final rule is effective on November 5, 2018. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the final rule on its consolidated financial statements.

4. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income (loss) 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 restricted stock under the treasury stock method.

The computation of basic and diluted net income per common share is as follows:



	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
	September 30,					September 30,
	2018			2017		2018			2017
Net income (loss)	$	(1,803,000	)	$	855,000	$	(839,000	)	$	4,704,000

Weighted average common shares outstanding — basic	7,804,000			7,711,000		7,758,000			7,683,000
Effect of dilutive securities	—			46,000		—			56,000
Weighted average common and potentially issuable common shares outstanding — diluted	7,804,000			7,757,000		7,758,000			7,739,000

Basic net income (loss) per common share	$	(0.23	)	$	0.11	$	(0.11	)	$	0.61
Diluted net income (loss) per common share	$	(0.23	)	$	0.11	$	(0.11	)	$	0.61

Preliminary estimated fair value amount of $12,994,000 is included in the above table associated with the January 16, 2018 acquisition of Horizon Plastics. These amounts are preliminary, pending finalization of working capital adjustments and the fair value valuation reports. 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. Amounts invested in capital additions in progress were $4,178,000 and $3,045,000 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, purchase commitments for capital expenditures in progress were $1,087,000 and $1,071,000, respectively.

8. HORIZON PLASTICS ACQUISITION

On January 16, 2018, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with Horizon Plastics International Inc., 1541689 Ontario Inc., 2551024 Ontario Inc. and Horizon Plastics de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (collectively "Horizon Plastics"). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain specified liabilities of Horizon Plastics for a cash purchase of $62,457,000, subject to a working capital closing adjustment and other customary holdbacks, which are still pending.

The acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("A/R Credit Agreement"), further described in Note 11, entered into with KeyBank National Association as administrative agent and various other financial institutions on January 16, 2018.

The purpose of the acquisition was to increase the Company's process capabilities to include structural foam and structural web molding, expand its geographical footprint, and diversify the Company's customer base.

Consideration was preliminarily allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the acquisition date as follows:



Accounts Receivable	$	7,655,000
Inventory	6,567,000
Other Current Assets	642,000
Property and Equipment	12,994,000
Intangibles	17,520,000
Goodwill	20,554,000
Accounts Payable	(3,181,000		)
Other Current Liabilities	(294,000		)
	$	62,457,000

The purchase price included consideration for strategic benefits, including an assembled workforce, operational infrastructure and synergistic revenue opportunities, which resulted in the recognition of goodwill. The goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company incurred $1,289,000 of expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 associated with the acquisition, which is recorded in selling, general and administrative expense.

Table of Contents

The amount preliminarily allocated to intangible assets has been attributed to the following categories and will be amortized over the useful lives of each individual asset identified on a straight-line basis as follows:



Acquired Intangible Assets	Estimated Fair Value		Estimated Useful Life (Years)
Non-competition Agreement	$	1,910,000	5
Trademarks	1,610,000		25
Developed Technology	4,420,000		7
Customer Relationships	9,580,000		12

Credit Agreement

On January 16, 2018, the Company entered into an A/R Credit Agreement with KeyBank National Association as administrative agent and various financial institutions party thereto as lenders (the "Lenders"). Pursuant to the terms of the A/R Credit Agreement (i) the Company may borrow revolving loans in the aggregate principal amount of up to $40,000,000 (the “US Revolving Loans”) from the Lenders and term loans in the aggregate principal amount of up to $32,000,000 from the Lenders, (ii) the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Horizon Plastics International, Inc., (the "Subsidiary") may borrow revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $10,000,000 from the Lenders (which revolving loans shall reduce the availability of the US Revolving Loans to the Company on a dollar-for-dollar basis) and term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $13,000,000 from the Lenders, (iii) the Company obtained a Letter of Credit Commitment of $250,000, of which $175,000 has been issued and (iv) the Company repaid the outstanding term loan balance of $6,750,000. The Credit Agreement is secured by a guarantee of each U.S. and Canadian subsidiary of the Company, and by a lien on substantially all of the present and future assets of the Company and its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries, except that only 65% of the stock issued by Corecomposites de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. has been pledged.

Concurrent with the closing of the A/R Credit Agreement the Company borrowed the $32,000,000 term loan and $2,000,000 from the US Revolving loan and the Subsidiary borrowed the $13,000,000 term loan and $2,500,000 from revolving loans to provide $49,500,000 of funding for the acquisition of Horizon Plastics. The basis point margin can range from 175 to 225 basis points based on the Company's leverage ratio and was set at 200 basis points as of September 30, 2018.

The Company has available $40,000,000 of variable rate revolving loans of which none is outstanding as of September 30, 2018. These revolving loans are scheduled to mature on January 1, 2022, but are classified, when outstanding, as current on the balance sheet as the Company expects to pay the outstanding balance off within the next twelve months.

Bank Covenants

The Company is required to meet certain financial covenants included in the Credit Agreement with respect to leverage ratios and fixed charge ratios, as well as other customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of September 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants associated with the loans made under the Credit Agreement as described above.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements that became effective January 18, 2018 and continue through January 2023, one of which was designated as a cash flow hedge for $25,000,000 of the $32,000,000 term loan to the Company mentioned above and the other designated as a cash flow hedge for $10,000,000 of the $13,000,000 term loan to the Subsidiary mentioned above. Under these agreements, the Company will pay a fixed rate of approximately 2.49% to the counterparty and receives one month LIBOR resulting in a total initial fixed rate of approximately 4.49% for both cash flow hedges. The fair value of the interest rate swap was an asset of $424,000 at September 30, 2018. While the Company is exposed to credit loss on its interest rate swaps in the event of non-performance by the counter party to the swap, management believes that such non-performance is unlikely to occur given the financial resources of the counter party.

12. INCOME TAXES

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred, creates new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings, provides for acceleration of business asset expensing, and reduces the amount of executive pay that may qualify as a tax deduction, among other changes. FASB ASC 740 requires the recognition of the effects of tax law changes in the period of enactment. However, due to the complexities of the new tax legislation, the SEC has issued SAB 118 which allows for the recognition of provisional amounts during a measurement period.

The Act's one-time transition tax calculation is complex, and as such we made a reasonable estimate of the effects of the one-time transition tax, and recognized a provisional amount in the fourth quarter of 2017. We have since finalized our analysis and subsequently filed our 2017 U.S. income tax return. The actual impact of the one-time transition tax was materially consistent with the provisional amount booked at December 31, 2017.

The Company’s consolidated balance sheets include a net non-current deferred tax liability of $395,000 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Company evaluates the balance of deferred tax assets that will be realized based on the premise that the Company is more likely than not to realize deferred tax benefits through the generation of future taxable income. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not anticipate that unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next twelve months.

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is estimated to be $228,000, on a loss of $611,000 before income taxes. Net income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is a result of taxable income of $4,205,000 in the Company's Canadian and Mexican operations, which has a combined effective tax rate of approximately 29%, combined with operating loss of $4,815,000 in the Company's United States facilities, which has an effective tax rate of 21%. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was estimated to be $2,262,000, or approximately 32% of income before income taxes.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., Mexico, Canada and various state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2015, and is no longer subject to Mexican income tax examinations by Mexican authorities for years prior to 2012. As a result of the Horizon Plastics acquisition on January 16, 2018, the Company now has filing requirements in Canada.

13. 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 and as amended in May 2015. 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, 2025, or the date the maximum number of available awards under the 2006 Plan have been granted.

Restricted Awards

The Company grants shares of its common stock to certain directors, officers, key managers and employees in the form of unvested stock and units (“Restricted Awards”). These awards are recorded at the market value of Core Molding Technologies’ common stock on the date of issuance, net of estimated forfeitures, and amortized ratably as compensation expense over the applicable vesting period, which is typically three years. The Company has applied forfeiture rates, estimated based on historical experience, of 3.5%-6.5% to the restricted stock fair values. These estimated forfeiture rates are applied to grants based on their remaining vesting term and may be revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from these estimates.

The following summarizes the status of Restricted Stock and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2018:



	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested balance at December 31, 2017	141,095		$	16.79
Granted	172,578		14.83
Vested	(77,318	)	16.31
Forfeited	(15,625	)	17.54
Unvested balance at September 30, 2018	220,730		$	15.37

At September 30, 2018 and 2017, there was $2,589,000 and $1,871,000, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to Restricted Awards granted under the 2006 Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 1.6 years. Total compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to restricted award grants for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $259,000 and $270,000, respectively, all of which was recorded to selling, general and administrative expense. Compensation cost related to restricted stock grants for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $1,229,000 and $1,061,000, respectively, all of which was recorded to selling, general and administrative expense.

Compensation expense for restricted award is recorded at the fair value at the time of the grant, net of estimated forfeitures, over the vesting period of the restricted award grant. The Company does not receive a tax deduction for restricted award until the restricted award vests. The tax deduction for restricted award is based on the fair market value as of the vesting date. Additional tax expense due for the fair market value on the grant date in excess of the value at time of vesting was $20,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Tax benefits received for vested restricted award in excess of the fair market value as of the grant date were $136,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, employees surrendered 17,180 and 19,533 shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock to satisfy income tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted awards.

14. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Fair value is measured using the fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies as defined in the authoritative literature. This guidance provides a fair value framework that requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment.

The three levels are defined as follows:


Level 1 -	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.


Level 2 -	Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations, in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.


Level 3 -	Significant unobservable inputs reflecting management's own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt, interest rate swaps and foreign currency derivatives. Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable carrying values as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of long-term debt and the revolving line of credit approximate fair value as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 due to the short term nature of the underlying variable rate LIBOR agreements. The Company had Level 2 fair value measurements at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 relating to the Company’s interest rate swaps and foreign currency derivatives.

Derivative and hedging activities

Foreign currency derivatives

The Company conducted business in foreign countries and paid certain expenses in foreign currencies; therefore, the Company was exposed to foreign currency exchange risk between the U.S. Dollar and foreign currencies, which could impact the Company’s operating income and cash flows. To mitigate risk associated with foreign currency exchange, the Company entered into forward contracts to exchange a fixed amount of U.S. Dollars for a fixed amount of foreign currency, which will be used to fund future foreign currency cash flows. At inception, all forward contracts are formally documented as cash flow hedges and are measured at fair value each reporting period.

Derivatives are formally assessed both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, to ensure that derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, or if the anticipated transaction is no longer probable of occurring, hedge accounting is discontinued, and any future mark-to-market adjustments are recognized in earnings. The effective portion of gain or loss is reported in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion is reported in earnings. The impacts of these contracts were largely offset by gains and losses resulting from the impact of changes in exchange rates on transactions denominated in the foreign currency. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had no ineffective portion related to the cash flow hedges.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company entered into interest rate swap contracts to fix the interest rate on an initial aggregate amount of $35,000,000 thereby reducing exposure to interest rate changes. The interest rate swap has an initial fixed rate of 4.49% and an effective date of January 18, 2018. At inception, all interest rate swaps were formally documented as cash flow hedges and are measured at fair value each reporting period. See Note 11, "Debt", for additional information.
