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
-goingon-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-
19COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other factors.
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.
Going Concern:
Under FASB ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,”
management is required
to evaluate conditions or events as related to uncertainties that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern and
to provide related financial disclosures,
as applicable. As
of September 30, 2020, the
Company was in default
under the
Company's Amended and
Restated Credit
Agreement, dated
January 16,
2018 (the
“A/R Credit
Agreement”), with
KeyBank National Association as the
administrative agent (the
"Administrative Agent") and various other
financial institutions
thereto as
lenders (the
"Lenders") as
discussed in
Note 11,
“Debt”. As a
result of
the default,
the Lenders
requested that
the
Company seek alternative financing, which caused uncertainty about the Company’s future liquidity and raised substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern.
10
On October
27, 2020,
the Company
entered into
a credit
agreement and
a master
security agreement
(the “Refinancing
Agreements”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and FGI
Equipment Finance LLC, respectively, as discussed in Note
16, “Subsequent
Events”, and
repaid all
of its
obligations under
the A/R Credit
Agreement. Management
believes that
the
Refinancing Agreements will provide sufficient liquidity to sustain the
Company’s needs for
the next 12 months. The closing of
the Refinancing Agreements alleviated the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern prior to
the filing date of our Form 10-Q, see Note 16, “Subsequent Events”.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company
recognizes revenue
from two
streams, product
revenue and
tooling revenue.
Product
revenue is earned from the manufacture
and sale of sheet molding compoundthermoplastic and
thermoset and thermoplasticstructural 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
-costcost-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
8
incurred to date
to the
total estimated
costs at
completion of
the performance
obligation. Revenues
are recorded
proportionally as
costs are incurred.
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
’sCompany’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 $
130,000
$51,000 and $
50,000
$41,000 at September
30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December
31, 2019,
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 $
105,000
$402,000 at September
30, 2020March 31, 2021 and $
476,000
$179,000 at December 31, 2020.
31, 2019.
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
-outfirst-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 $
726,000
$451,000 at September
30, 2020March 31, 2021 and $
898,000
$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 $
343,000
$549,000 at September
30, 2020,
March 31, 2021, and $
888,000
$554,000 at December
31, 2019.
2020. Contract assets
are
generally classified as current within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the nine
three months ended
September
30, 2020,
March 31, 2021, the Company
recognized
0
impairments on
contract assets.
For the
nine three months
ended
September 30,
2020, March 31, 2021, the
Company recognized
$
5,710,000
$2,710,000 amount of
revenue from
contract liabilities
related to
open jobs
outstanding as of December 31, 2019.
2020.
Income Taxes:
The Company’s Consolidated
Balance Sheets include a
net non-current deferred
tax asset of $
2,026,000
for the
Canadian and Mexican
tax jurisdictions and
a net non-current
deferred tax liability
of $
517,000
for the U.S.
tax jurisdiction at
September 30, 2020. 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 12,11, "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, 2019.
2020.
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
(Loss) in
the Consolidated
Statement of Stockholders' Equity
and then subsequently
recognized in the
Consolidated Statement of
Income (Loss) 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.
For additional information on derivative instruments, see Note
14, "Fair Value of Financial Instruments".
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 ninethree months ended SeptemberMarch 31, 2021 or March 31, 2020.
30, 2020 or September
30, 2019.
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 Intangibles:Other. FASB ASC Topic 350 prohibits the amortization of goodwill and requires these assets be reviewed for impairment.
The Company evaluates goodwill annually on December
31
to determine whether impairment
exists, or
at interim
periods if
an indicator
of possible
impairment exists.
As a
result of
the Horizon
Plastics acquisition
on
January
16, 2018
and the status
of its integration,
the Company established
2
reporting units,
Core Traditional and
Horizon
Plastics.
The annual impairment
tests of goodwill
may be completed
through qualitative
assessments, assessments; however
the, Company
may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to a
quantitative impairment test for any reporting unit in any
period. The Company may resume the qualitative assessment for any reporting
unit in any subsequent period.
Due toUnder a qualitative and quantitative approach, the Company's
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 continued depressed
9
stock price,
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 of the impairment test. If the Company
performed 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 analysis
for both of its reporting units at September 30, 2019. During 2019, the Company incurred a loss of margin in its Horizon Plastics
reporting unit caused by selling price decreases that the Company
has not been able to fully offset with material cost reductions.
As a result of the quantitative
analysis, the Company concluded
that the carrying value of
Horizon Plastics was greater than
the
fair value, which resulted
in a goodwill impairment
charge of $
4,100,000
at September 30, 2019 representing
19
% of the goodwill
related to the Horizon Plastics reporting unit.
approach.
There were no
indicators of impairment
for the
nine three months ended
September 30, March 31, 2021. The company also performed a qualitative analysis for the year end December 31, 2020
and determined that would trigger
additional analysis;no impairment is needed for the year 2020.
however, should
the Company
experience a
prolonged suspension
of operations
due to
COVID-19, the
Company may

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Current expected credit loss (CECL)
In June 2016, the FASB
issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments
-CreditInstruments-Credit Losses,” which changes
the impairment model for
most financial assets
and certain other
instruments. For trade
and other 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
-13,2016-13, 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,
” 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-
05,2019-05, “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.
We do not
expect the adoption
of this ASU to
have a material
impact on our
consolidated financial
position,
results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued
ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes –
Simplifying the Accounting for Income
Taxes. This guidance
is intended to
simplify various aspects
of income tax
accounting including the
elimination of certain
exceptions related
to the
approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of
deferred tax
liabilities for
outside basis
differences. The
new guidance also
simplifies aspects
of the accounting
for franchise
taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis
of goodwill. The Company adopted
the new standard effective January
1, 2020 during the third
quarter with no material impact
13
on our consolidated financial statements. Adoption of this guidance requires certain changes to primarily be made prospectively,
with some changes to be made retrospectively.
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 (Topic 848). The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP
to transactions affected by reference rate
(e.g. (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.

The following table
sets forth the
computation of basic
and diluted earnings
per share using
the two-class method
for amounts
attributable to the Company's
common shares. The Company
uses the two-class method
to calculate basic and
diluted earnings
per share as a result of outstanding participating securities in the form of
restricted stock awards.

years. Operating leases
are included
in operating
lease right
-of-useright-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
’sCompany’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.

tax assets that will be
realized based on the
premise that the Company
is

be carried back five years
versus an indefinite carryforward.

the Internal Revenue Service
to carry
back net operating losses incurred in
2018 and 2019 under this new
law, resulting in an income tax
refund of $6,155,000 of which
all has been collected
as of September 30,
2020. An income tax benefit
of $5,638,000 was
realized in the first
quarter of 2020.
The income tax benefit consists of the reversal of the full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets in the United States
for approximately $3,267,000.
The income tax
benefit also
consists of a
rate benefit of
$2,371,000 $2,371,000 based
on the losses
being

years where the
Company paid tax
at 34% compared

of the losses
being recorded
at the 21%
current U.S. statutory tax rate.

tax returns in the U.S.,

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,
2020 March 31, 2021 and
December 31,
2019 2020 approximate
fair value
due to
the short
-termshort-term maturities
of these
financial
instruments. The carrying amounts of long-term debtWF Term Loan and the revolving line of credit
WF Revolving Loan approximate fair value as of September 30,
2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 20192020 due to the short term nature of the underlying variable rate LIBOR agreements. The Company had
Level 2FGI Term Loan approximate fair
value measurements at
September 30, 2020
as of March 31, 2021 and December 31,
2019 relating 2020 due to
the Company’s
immaterial movement in 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
23
Company’s operating income
and cash flows. To mitigate risk associated with foreign
currency exchange,rates since 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
Promissory Note on transactions
denominated in
the
foreign currency. As of September
30, 2020, 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 pays
a fixed rate
of 2.49%
to the counterparty
and
receives 30 day LIBOR for
both cash flow hedges.
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.

Credit Refinancing
On
October 27, 2020
, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as administrative
agent, lead arranger
and book runner,
and the lenders
party thereto (the
“Lenders”). Pursuant to
the terms of the
Credit Agreement, the Lenders made
available to the Company
secured loans (the “
Wells Fargo Loans
”) in the
maximum aggregate principal
amount of $
43,500,000
, consisting of
(i) a revolving
loan commitment of
$
25,000,000
(approximately $
8,745,000
of which was
advanced to
the Company on
October 28,
2020) and (ii)
term loan commitments
of
$
18,500,000
($
16,790,000
of which was
advanced to
the Company
on October
28, 2020).
Such revolving
loan commitment
terminates, and all outstanding borrowings thereunder must be repaid, on
October 27, 2024
, and such term loans are to be repaid
in
monthly
installments with the remaining outstanding balance due on
October 27, 2024
, in each case subject to certain optional
and mandatory repayment
terms.
The Company’s
obligations under
the Credit Agreement
and the Loans
are unconditionally
guaranteed by each
of the Company’s U.S. and
Canadian subsidiaries, with such
obligations of the Company
and such subsidiaries
being secured by a lien on substantially
all of their U.S. and Canadian assets.
Interest is payable monthly and is based
on either
LIBOR Rate or
Base Rate, as
defined by the
Credit Agreement, at the
discretion of the
Company. As of October
28, 2020, the
revolving loan was based on the
Base Rate
resulting in a rate of
4.75
% and the term loan was based on the
LIBOR Rate
resulting
in a rate of
3.75
%.
In connection
with the funding of the Wells Fargo Loans, FGI Equipment Finance LLC advanced to the Company, pursuant to a
Master Security Agreement, dated as of
October 27, 2020
(the “Security Agreement”), among FGI Equipment Finance LLC, the
Company as debtor,
and each of Core
Composites Corporation and
CC HPM, S. de
R.L. de C.V.
as a guarantor,
a term loan in
the principal
amount of
$
13,200,000
(the “FGIEF
Loan”), which
loan is
secured by
certain assets
of the
Company and
the
guarantors located in Mexico.
Interest is payable
monthly
at a fixed rate of
8.25
%.
The proceeds of the Wells Fargo Loans and the FGIEF Loans were
used in part to repay all existing outstanding indebtedness
of
the Company owing
to KeyBank
National Association, and
to pay certain
fees and expenses
associated with
the transactions
contemplated by the
Credit Agreement and the
Security Agreement, and will
be used to
finance the ongoing
general corporate
needs of the Company.
Concurrent with the closing of the Credit
Agreement and the Master Security Agreement, the Company settled both
outstanding
interest rate swaps, which resulted in a loss
and cash outflow of $
1,253,000
, recorded in interest expense and operating activities,
respectively. The
Company also
recorded losses
of $
605,000
from writing
off outstanding
deferred loan
costs related
to the
Amended A/R Credit Agreement.
Facility Closure
On November 5, 2020 the Company announced it will close the manufacturing facility located in Batavia, Ohio in 2021. The
Company has begun working with customers to relocate the business into other Core locations or to third parties.
Revenue from
the facility accounts for less than
5
% of the Company's total revenues and the Company anticipates
approximately half of those
revenues will transition to other Core locations. The Company anticipates shutdown
costs to consist of severance cost, moving
and production testing and recertification costs and asset impairment
charges. Management has determined the costs related
to
the closure of the manufacturing facility located in Batavia, Ohio to
be immaterial to the Company’s
consolidated financial
statements.

Description of the Company
Core Molding Technologies
and its
subsidiaries operate in
the composites
market as
one operating segment as
a molder
of
thermoplastic and thermoset structural products. The Company's
operating segment consists of two componentone reporting
units,
unit, Core Traditional and Horizon Plastics.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"), 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
structural web injection molding ("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. The
demand for Core
Molding Technologies’ products
is affected by economic conditions in the United States, Mexico, and 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, Core Molding Technologies
added a production facility
22
Table of Contents
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
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. In
March 2015, the Company
acquired substantially all
of the assets of
CPI Binani, Inc.,
a wholly owned
subsidiary of Binani
Industries Limited, located in
Winona, Minnesota ("CPI"),
which expanded the
Company's
process capabilities to include D-LFT and diversified 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 consist
ofdriven by demand from
customers in many
different markets with different

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.

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 Loans and Term Loans
under the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, some of which 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; and
(3) raw material purchases in which
Core Molding Technologies purchases various
resins, fiberglass, and metal components
for
use in production.
The prices
and availability of
these materials
are affected
by the prices
of crude
oil, natural gas
and other
feedstocks, tariffs, as well as processing capacity versus demand.
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

the
Company would be impacted by an increase in operating costs, which would
have an adverse effect on operating margins.

10-K"). The following

should be read
in conjunction with 2020.
the other risk factors set out in our Form 10-K.
The Recent Coronavirus
(COVID-19) Outbreak Has
Adversely Impacted our Business
and Could in the
Future Have a
Material
Adverse Impact on
our Business, Results
of Operation, Financial
Condition and Liquidity,
the Nature and
Extent of Which
is Highly
Uncertain
The global outbreak of
the coronavirus (COVID-19) has
significantly increased economic,
demand and operational uncertainty.
We have global operations, customers
and suppliers, including in countries most
impacted by COVID-19. Authorities around
the world
have taken a variety
of measures to slow
the spread of COVID-19,
including travel bans
or restrictions, increased
border controls
or closures,
quarantines, shelter-in-place
orders and
business shutdowns and
such authorities
may impose
additional restrictions.
We have also taken actions
to protect our employees and
to mitigate the spread
of COVID-19, including
embracing guidelines set
by the
World Health Organization
and the
Centers for
Disease Control and
Prevention on social
distancing, good hygiene, restrictions on employee travel
and in-person meetings, and
changes to employee work
arrangements
including remote work arrangements where feasible. The actions
taken around the world
to slow the spread
of COVID-19 have
also impacted our customers
and suppliers, and
future developments could cause
further disruptions to the
Company due to the
interconnected nature of our business relationships.
The impact of
COVID-19 on the
global economy and
our customers has
negatively impacted demand for
our products and
could
continue to do
so in
the future. Its
effects could also
result in further
disruptions to our
manufacturing operations, including
higher
rates of employee
absenteeism, and supply
chain disruption, which
could continue to
negatively impact our
ability to meet
customer demand. Additionally, the potential deterioration and volatility of credit and financial markets could limit our ability
to obtain external
financing. The extent to
which COVID-19 will
impact our business, results
of operations, financial condition
or liquidity is highly uncertain and will
depend on future developments,
including the spread
and duration of
the virus, potential
actions taken by governmental authorities, and how quickly economic conditions stabilize and
recover.
