2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Principles of Consolidation: 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.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and 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, due to the uncertainty around the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other factors.

Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue from two streams, product revenue and tooling revenue. Product revenue is earned from the manufacture and sale of thermoplastic and thermoset structural 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. In limited circumstances, the Company recognizes revenue from product sales when products are produced and the customer takes title and risk of ownership at the Company's production facility.

Tooling revenue is earned from manufacturing 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.

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. 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.

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 $58,000 and $41,000 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Management also records an allowance for estimated customer chargebacks for returns, price discounts and adjustments, premium freight and expediting costs and customer production line disruption costs resulting from late deliveries. At times, customers have asserted a right to significant production line disruption charges to recover damages as a result of late delivery. The Company typically works with its customers to minimize disruption charges, validate damages and negotiate resolution. The Company records accruals for customer chargebacks when a valid charge is probable and the amount of the charge can be reasonably estimated. Should customer chargebacks fluctuate from the estimated amounts, additional allowances may be necessary. The Company reduced accounts receivable for chargebacks by $440,000 at June 30, 2021 and $179,000 at December 31, 2020.

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 $252,000 at June 30, 2021 and $546,000 at December 31, 2020.

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. The Company has recorded contract assets of $46,000 at June 30, 2021, and $554,000 at December 31, 2020. Contract assets are generally classified as current within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized 0 impairments on contract assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $3,107,000 of revenue from contract liabilities related to open jobs outstanding as of December 31, 2020.

Income Taxes: 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, "Income Taxes", of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

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 0 impairment of the Company's long-lived assets for the six months ended June 30, 2021 or June 30, 2020.

Goodwill: The purchase consideration of acquired businesses have been allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on the estimated fair values on the respective acquisition dates. Based on these values, the excess purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill. The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. FASB ASC Topic 350 prohibits the amortization of goodwill and requires these assets be reviewed for impairment.

The annual impairment tests of goodwill may be completed through qualitative assessments; however the, Company ~~operates~~may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to a quantitative impairment test for any period. The Company may resume the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period.

Under a qualitative and quantitative approach, the impairment test for goodwill consists of an assessment of whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value is less than its carrying amount. As part of the 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 changes in economic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, 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 step one ~~business segment~~of the impairment test. If the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment, or if a qualitative assessment indicates it is more-likely-than-not that the estimated carrying value exceeds its fair value, the Company proceeds to a quantitative approach.

There were no indicators of impairment for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The company also performed a qualitative analysis for the year end December 31, 2020 and determined that no impairment was needed for the year 2020.

Self-Insurance: The Company is self-insured with respect to Columbus and Batavia, Ohio; Gaffney, South Carolina; Winona, Minnesota; and Brownsville, Texas for medical, dental and vision claims and Columbus and Batavia, Ohio for 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 and vision claims incurred but not reported and worker’s compensation claims incurred but not reported at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 of $866,000 and $933,000, respectively.

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 ~~manufacturer~~component of ~~SMC~~Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity and ~~molder~~then subsequently recognized in the Consolidated Statement of ~~fiberglass reinforced plastics.~~Operations when the hedged item affects net income. The ~~Company produces~~ineffective portion of the change in fair value of a hedge, if any, is recognized in income. For additional information on derivative instruments, see Note 14, "Fair Value of Financial Instruments".

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, "Post Retirement Benefits", of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Core Molding Technologies had a liability for post retirement healthcare benefits based on actuarial computed estimates of $9,033,000 at June 30, 2021 and ~~sells SMC~~$9,109,000 at December 31, 2020.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Current expected credit loss (CECL)

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” which changes the impairment model for most financial assets and ~~molded products for varied markets, including light, medium and heavy-duty trucks, automobiles and automotive aftermarket, marine, construction~~certain other instruments. For trade and other ~~commercial products.~~receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that will replace today’s “incurred loss” model and generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to current practice, except that the losses will be recognized as an allowance. Subsequent to issuing ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” for the purpose of clarifying certain aspects of ASU 2016-13. ASU 2018-19 has the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2016-13. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments,” which is effective with the adoption of ASU 2016-13. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326),” which is also effective with the adoption of ASU 2016-13. In November 2019, the FASB voted to delay the implementation date for certain companies, including those that qualify as a smaller reporting company under SEC rules, until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We will adopt this ASU on its effective date of January 1, 2023. This ASU will have no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848). The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to transactions affected by reference rate (e.g., LIBOR) reform if certain criteria are met, for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The ASU is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We will evaluate transactions or contract modifications occurring as a result of reference rate reform and determine whether to apply the optional guidance on an ongoing basis.

4. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

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 (loss) per common share is computed similarly but includes the effect of the assumed exercise of dilutive stock appreciation rights and restricted stock under the treasury stock method.

On May 13, 2021, the Company's shareholders approved the 2021 Long Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) that replaced the 2006 Long Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) approved in May 2006 and amended in May 2015. The 2021 Plan provides restricted stock award recipients voting rights equivalent to the Company's common stock and accrual of dividends but not receipt of dividends until all conditions or restrictions related to such award have been satisfied. Accordingly, the restricted shares are not considered participating shares. The 2006 Plan provides restricted shares award recipients voting rights equivalent to the Company’s common stock and accrual and receipt of dividends irrespective of any conditions or restrictions related to such award being satisfied. Accordingly, the restricted shares are considered a participating security and the Company is required to apply the two-class method to consider the impact of the restricted shares on the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

The computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share (in thousands, except for per share data) is as follows:

~~4. Property, Plant~~

The Company has operating leases with fixed payment terms for certain buildings and warehouses. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to four years, some of which include options to extend the lease for five years. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, accrued other liabilities and other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

The Company used the applicable incremental borrowing rate at implementation date to measure lease liabilities and ROU assets. The incremental borrowing rate used by the Company was based on baseline rates and adjusted by the credit spreads commensurate with the Company’s secured borrowing rate. At each reporting period when there is a new lease initiated, the Company will utilize its incremental borrowing rate to perform lease classification tests on lease components and to measure ROU assets and lease liabilities.

The components of lease expense were as follows (in thousands):

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~~June 30, ~~2017~~2021 and December 31, ~~2016~~2020 approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of ~~long-term debt~~WF Term Loan and ~~the revolving line of credit~~WF Revolving Loan approximate fair value as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2021 and December 31, ~~2016~~2020 due to the short term nature of the underlying variable rate LIBOR agreements. The ~~Company had Level 2~~FGI Term Loan approximate fair value ~~measurements at September~~as of June 30, ~~2017~~2021 and December 31, ~~2016 relating~~2020 due to ~~the Company’s foreign currency derivatives.~~

~~Derivative and hedging activities~~

~~The Company conducts business~~immaterial movement in Mexico and pays certain expenses in Mexican Pesos. The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk between the U.S. dollar and the Mexican Peso, which could impact the Company’s operating income and cash flows. To mitigate risk associated with foreign currency exchange,interest rates since the Company ~~enters~~entered into ~~forward contracts to exchange a fixed amount~~the Promissory Note on October 20, 2020.

Table of U.S. dollars for a fixed amount of Mexican Pesos, which will be used to fund future Peso 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 Mexican Peso. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had no ineffective portion related to the cash flow hedges.

~~12. 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 transferTable 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 in August 2015, has been delayed until the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. ASU 2014-09 will affect the timing of certain revenue related transactions primarily resulting from the earlier recognition of the Company's tooling sales and costs. Upon adoption of ASU 2014-09 tooling sales and costs will be recorded over time on a percentage of completion methodology instead of completed contract methodology. We are nearing a decision on implementation on a retrospective basis (full or with practical expedient) or through a cumulative adjustment to equity. We continue to assess the overall impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements, and anticipate testing our new controls and processes designed to comply with ASU 2014-09 throughout 2017 to permit adoption by January 1, 2018.Contents

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The new standard eliminates step 2, which required companies to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill, of the goodwill impairment test. Under this new guidance, companies will perform their annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the reporting unit's carrying value, including goodwill, to the fair value. An impairment charge would be recorded if the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. The ASU is effective for public companies for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this standard update as required and does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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 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 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and interim periods within that reporting period; early adoption permitted. The guidance on the income statement presentation of the components of net periodic cost (benefit) must be applied retrospectively, while the guidance limiting the capitalization of net periodic cost (benefit) in assets to the service cost component must be applied prospectively. The Company will adopt this standard update as required and does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Upon adoption, the Company plans to update the presentation of net periodic cost (benefit) accordingly, noting all components of the Company's net periodic cost (benefit) will be presented outside of operating earnings, as the plan is not active.The estimated impact of adoption of this update will be a reclassification of all components of net periodic benefit from operating earnings to other income in the amount of $49,000 and $18,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

In August 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The new standard provides changes to designation, measurement, recognition and presentation of hedging instruments. The ASU is effective for public companies for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this standard update as required and does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Description of the Company

Core Molding Technologies isand its subsidiaries operate in one operating segment as a ~~manufacturer~~molder of thermoplastic and thermoset structural products. The Company's operating segment consists of one reporting unit, Core Molding Technologies. The Company offers customers a wide range of manufacturing processes to fit various program volume and investment requirements. These processes include compression molding 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, bulk molding compounds and direct long-fiber thermoplastics (D-LFT); spray-up, hand-lay-up, and, resin transfer molding ("RTM")~~. Additionally, the Company offers reaction~~, liquid molding of dicyclopentadiene ("DCPD"), spray-up and hand-lay-up, direct long-fiber thermoplastics ("D-LFT") and structural foam and structural web injection molding ~~utilizing dicyclopentadiene technology.~~("SIM"). Core Molding Technologies serves a wide variety of markets, including the medium and heavy-duty truck, marine, automotive, agriculture, construction, and other commercial products. ~~Product sales to heavy and medium-duty truck markets accounted for 68% and 69% of the Company’s sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.~~ The demand for Core Molding Technologies’ products is ~~primarily~~ affected by economic conditions in the United States, ~~Canada,~~Mexico, and ~~Mexico.~~Canada. 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, ~~the Company established~~Core Molding Technologies added a ~~manufacturing presence~~production

facility in Matamoros, Mexico by acquiring 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, the Company 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 new production facility in Matamoros, Mexico that replaced its leased facility. ~~Most recently in~~In March 2015, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of CPI Binani, Inc. ~~("CPI")~~, a ~~wholly-owned~~wholly owned subsidiary of Binani Industries Limited, located in Winona, Minnesota, which expanded the Company's process capabilities to include D-LFT and diversified ~~its~~the customer base. In January 2018, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of Horizon Plastics, which has manufacturing operations in Cobourg, Ontario and Escobedo, Mexico. This acquisition expanded the Company's customer base, geographic footprint, and process capabilities to include structural foam and structural web molding.

Business Overview

General

The Company’s business and operating results are directly affected by changes in overall customer demand, operational costs and performance and leverage of our fixed cost and selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") infrastructure.

Product sales fluctuate in response to several factors including many that are beyond the Company’s control, such as general economic conditions, interest rates, government regulations, consumer spending, labor availability, and our customers’ production rates and inventory levels. Product sales driven by demand from customers in many different markets with different levels of cyclicality and seasonality. The North American truck market, which is highly cyclical, accounted for 42% of the Company’s product revenue for both the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 respectively.

Operating performance is dependent on the Company’s ability to manage changes in input costs for items such as raw materials, labor, and overhead operating costs. Performance is also affected by manufacturing efficiencies, including items such as on time delivery, quality, scrap, and productivity. Market factors of supply and demand can impact operating costs. In periods of rapid increases or decreases in customer demand, the Company is required to ramp operations activity up or down quickly which may impact manufacturing efficiencies more than in periods of steady demand.

Operating performance is also dependent on the Company’s ability to effectively launch new customer programs, which are typically extremely complex in nature. The start of production of a new program is the result of a process of developing new molds and assembly equipment, validation testing, manufacturing process design, development and testing, along with training and often hiring employees. Meeting the targeted levels of manufacturing efficiency for new programs usually occurs over time as the Company gains experience with new tools and processes. Therefore, during a new program launch period, start-up costs and inefficiencies can affect operating results.

Six Months ended June 30, 2021

Product sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased 51.6% compared to the same period in 2020. Operating income increased from $3,055,000 to $11,519,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period a year ago. Higher demand from our heavy-duty truck, building product, power sports, and consumer product customers were the primary drivers of the sales increase. The increase in operating income was largely due to improved manufacturing efficiencies and cost savings at several of the Company's facilities.

For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2021, product sales to truck customers increased by 41.3% compared to the same period in 2020, as a result of a cyclical uptick in the truck market and 2020 sales being negatively impacted by the effects of COVID-19 related customer shutdown. According to ACT Research, North American heavy-duty truck production increased approximately 60% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

The Company experienced higher raw material and labor costs in the first half of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 due to supply disruptions and overall increase in global demand of certain materials. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had raw material inflation of approximately $10,387,000 compared to the first six months of 2020. The Company has the ability to pass through a portion, but not all, of the cost increases to its customers. The Company was able to recoup approximately $5,330,000 of the raw material inflation during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded net income of ~~$4,704,000,~~$7,542,000 or ~~$0.61~~$0.89 per basic and diluted share, compared with $5,689,000, or $0.69, per basic and diluted share ~~compared with~~for the six months ended June 30, 2020. In 2020, net income was favorably impacted by $5,638,000, or $0.69 per share, as a result of ~~$5,379,000, or $0.71 per basic~~a tax valuation allowance reversal and ~~$0.70 per diluted share for~~a tax rate benefit due to tax law changes that allowed the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Looking forward, the Company expects the fourth quarter 2017 product sales to be higher than fourth quarter 2016 and full year 2017 product revenue to be flat compared to full year 2016. Current industry analyst forecasts for North American Class 8 truck production show a 15% increase in 2018 compared to 2017. Basedbased on industry ~~analyst expectations~~analysts’ projections and customer forecasts, the Company expects ~~2018 total product~~sales levels for the second half of 2021 to increase compared to the second half of 2020. In the Company’s largest market, North American heavy-duty truck, ACT Research is forecasting production to increase approximately 37%. In several other industries the Company serves, customers are forecasting higher demand in 2021 including in the power sports, and consumer goods markets. Although we anticipate higher sales the Company has experienced disruption in demand from our customers as their supply chain disruptions have caused them to temporary stop production at times.The Company anticipates customer supply chain disruptions will affect the Company’s sales for the remainder of 2021.

The Company has experienced supply disruptions and raw material inflation due to ongoing raw material shortages. Although the Company’s supply chain disruptions are decreasing, and the Company has been able to meet customer demand, we anticipate potential disruptions to continue which could impact revenues through the remainder of 2021. The Company also anticipates increased raw material costs to ~~be higher than 2017.~~ continue through the remainder of 2021. The Company anticipates to recoup some, but not all of the raw material price increases.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

~~Management’s Discussion~~For information on critical accounting policies and ~~Analysis of Financial Condition~~estimates, see Note 2, "Critical Accounting Policies 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 managementEstimates," 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~~included herein.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For information on the ~~reported amounts~~impact of ~~revenues and expenses during~~recently issued accounting pronouncements, see Note 3, "Recent Accounting Pronouncements," to 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.~~statements included here

~~Accounts receivable allowances:~~ ~~Management maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability~~

Table of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers was to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. The Company has determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts was needed at September 30, 2017 and at December 31, 2016, 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 $390,000 at September 30, 2017 and $309,000 at December 31, 2016.Contents

~~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 $629,000 at September 30, 2017 and $770,000 at December 31, 2016.

~~Derivative instruments:~~ Derivative instruments are utilized to manage exposure to fluctuations in the United States dollar to Mexican peso exchange rate. 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 are deferred and recorded as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity and then subsequently r

ecognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income when the hedged item affects net income. Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value of a hedge is recognized in income immediately. For additional information on derivative instruments, see Note 10.

~~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, 2017 or September 30, 2016.

~~Goodwill and Other Intangibles:~~ The Company has recorded $2,403,000 of goodwill as a result of two acquisitions. In 2001, the Company acquired certain assets of Airshield Corporation, and as a result, recorded goodwill in the amount of $1,097,000. The Company also acquired substantially all of the assets of CPI on March 20, 2015, which resulted in approximately $1,306,000 of goodwill.

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.”

~~There was no impairment of the Company's goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2016, and no indicators of impairment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.~~

~~Self-Insurance:~~ The Company is self-insured with respect to its medical, dental and vision claims for all employees except employees working in Mexico. The Company is also self-insured with respect to its 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 of $1,208,000 and $1,139,000, 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 2016 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 $8,638,000 at September 30, 2017 and $8,667,000 at December 31, 2016.

~~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 September 30, 2017, the Company had a net liability related to tooling in progress of $1,184,000, which represented approximately $7,338,000 of progress tooling billings and $7,015,000 of progress tooling expenses. At December 31, 2016, the Company had a net liability related to tooling in progress of $1,084,000, which represented approximately $11,052,000 of progress tooling billings and $9,968,000 of progress tooling expenses.

~~Income taxes:~~ The Company’s consolidated balance sheets include a net non-current deferred tax liability of $992,000 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. 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 2016 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.~~peso and Canadian Dollar. Core Molding Technologies does not hold any material market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes. The Company may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates.

Core Molding Technologies has the following three items that are sensitive to market risks: (1) Revolving ~~Line of Credit~~Loans and Term ~~Loan~~Loans under the Credit Agreement, some of which ~~bears~~bear a variable interest rate; (2) foreign currency purchases in which the Company purchases Mexican pesos and Canadian dollars with United States dollars to meet certain ~~obligations that arise due to operations at the facility located in Mexico;~~obligations; and (3) raw material purchases in which Core Molding Technologies purchases various resins, fiberglass, and ~~fiberglass~~metal components for use in production. The prices and availability of these materials are affected by the prices of crude oil, ~~and~~ natural gas and other feedstocks, tariffs, 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% decrease in the United States dollar to Mexican Peso exchange rate, the Company would be impacted by an increase in operating costs, which would have an adverse effect on operating margins.

Assuming a hypothetical 10% change in short-term interest rates, interest paid on the Term Loan would have been impacted, as the interest rate on these loans is based upon LIBOR. It would not, however, have a material effect on earnings before tax.

Assuming a hypothetical 10% decrease in the United States dollar to Mexican peso and Canadian dollar exchange rate, the Company would be impacted by an increase in operating costs, which would have an adverse effect on operating margins.

On August 5, 2021, the Company entered into amended and restated executive employment agreements (each an “Executive Employment Agreement,” and, collectively, the “Executive Employment Agreements”) with each of David L. Duvall, President & Chief Executive Officer, John Zimmer, Executive Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and Chief Financial Officer, Eric Palomaki, Executive Vice President, Operations, Research and Development and Renee R. Anderson, Executive Vice President, Human Resources (each an "Executive," and, collectively, the "Executives," with each Executive other than Mr. Duvall referred to herein as the “Non-CEO Executives”). The terms of each Executive Employment Agreement amend and restated the terms of the prior employment agreements entered into by each of the Executives and, in the case of Messrs. Zimmer and Palomaki, also amend and supersede the terms of the executive severance agreements previously entered into by each of Messrs. Zimmer and Palomaki.

CEO Executive Employment Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Executive Employment Agreement with Mr. Duvall, Mr. Duvall is entitled to an annual base salary of $605,000. In addition to base salary Mr. Duvall shall be eligible for an annual short term incentive payment pursuant to the Company’s annual short term incentive plan and long term incentive target awards under the Company’s equity incentive plan, with awards based upon 75%-125% of base salary, vesting in one-third installments on the anniversary of each applicable grant date.

Mr. Duvall is also entitled under the Executive Employment Agreement to certain standard benefits, including vacation, sick leave, and life and long and short term disability insurance. The Executive Employment Agreement continues until terminated by Mr. Duvall or the Company.

The Executive Employment Agreement may be terminated with or without “Cause” (as defined in the Executive Employment Agreement). In the event the Executive Employment Agreement is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Duvall for Good Reason (as such terms are defined in the Executive Employment Agreement), Mr. Duvall will be entitled to receive, as severance, (i) accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of termination, (ii) accrued and unused vacation pay, (iii) any earned but unpaid amounts arising under Mr. Duvall’s participation in the Company’s compensation plans and programs prior to the termination (items (i), (ii) and (iii), collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”), (iv) two (2) times then-current base salary for twelve (12) months and (v) acceleration of any unvested awards under the Company’s short term incentive plan and cash severance equal to the market value of all unvested equity awards received. In the event the Executive Employment Agreement is terminated by the Company with Cause, or upon death or due to Executive Disability, or by Mr. Duvall without Good Reason, Mr. Duvall will be entitled to receive only the Accrued Obligations. In addition, if Mr. Duvall is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Duvall for Good Reason at any time within 24 months of a Change of Control (as defined in the Executive Employment Agreement), Mr. Duvall will be entitled to Accrued Obligations, cash severance equal to the market value of all unvested equity awards received, , as well as a lump sum payment of 2.99 times a five year average of base salary and bonus.

Each Non-CEO Executive is also entitled under the Executive Employment Agreement to certain standard benefits, including vacation, sick leave, and life and long and short term disability insurance. Each Executive Employment Agreement continues until terminated by the respective Non-CEO Executive or the Company.

Each Executive Employment Agreement may be terminated with or without “Cause” (as defined in the applicable Executive Employment Agreement).

Amended and Restated Cash Incentive Plan

On August 5, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) and the Board of the Company amended and restated the Company’s 2016 Executive Cash Incentive Plan, renaming it the Cash Incentive Plan of Core Molding Technologies, Inc. (as amended and restated, the “Plan”). The Plan is intended to advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing incentives in the form of cash awards to certain officers and other employees of the Company.

The Plan is administered by the Company’s Compensation Committee, or such other committee as may be designated by the Board. The Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to select the employees to be granted awards under the Plan, which may be any employee of the Company, including the Company’s executive officers. The number of eligible participants in the Plan will vary from year to year at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Each year the Compensation Committee will establish award opportunities and performance targets for participants in the Plan. The performance goals and payout formulas need not be the same for each participant. The Compensation Committee will also designate one or more performance periods, which may be based on a fiscal year or any other period designated by the committee.

The performance goals are based solely on one or more of the following criteria: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization; operating income or profit; operating efficiencies; return on equity, assets, adjusted net assets, capital, capital employed, or investment; after tax operating income; net income; earnings or book value per share; cash flow(s); total sales or revenues or sales or revenues per employee; stock price or total stockholder return; cost of capital or assets under management; and strategic business objectives, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified cost targets, business expansion goals, and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures.

The award payable as determined by the Compensation Committee must be paid after the end of the performance period, but in all events by March 15 of the calendar year following the performance period. Except as the Compensation Committee may otherwise determine in its discretion, termination of a participant’s employment prior to the end of the performance period will result in the forfeiture of the award by the participant.

The Compensation Committee may from time to time alter, amend, suspend, or discontinue the Plan, including, where applicable, any modifications or amendments as it shall deem advisable, or to conform to any regulation or to any change in law or regulation applicable thereto, provided however, that no such action shall adversely affect the rights and obligations of the participants with respect to the bonus amount payable under the Plan at the time of such alteration, amendment, suspension, or discontinuance, except as may be required in order to comply with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

The description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Plan, which has been filed with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated herein by reference
