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 under different assumptions and conditions.

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

Tooling revenue is earned from manufacturing multiple tools, molds and assembly equipment as part of a tooling program for a customer. Given that the Company is providing a significant service of producing highly interdependent component parts of the tooling program, each tooling program consists of a single performance obligation to provide the customer the capability to produce a single product. Based on the arrangement with the customer, the Company recognizes revenue either at a point in time or over a given period. 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 titled 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash is held primarily in three banks in three separate jurisdictions. The Company had ~~$1,326,000~~$114,000 cash on hand at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and had $6,146,000 cash on hand at December 31, 2021.

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 has determined that a ~~$32,000~~$53,000 allowance for doubtful accounts is needed at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and $90,000 at December 31, 2021. Management also records estimates for customer returns and deductions, discounts offered to customers, and for price adjustments. Should customer returns and deductions, discounts, and price adjustments fluctuate from the estimated amounts, additional allowances may be required. The Company had an allowance for estimated chargebacks of ~~$255,000~~$311,000 at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and $222,000 at December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes in the methodology of these calculations.

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 ~~$451,000~~$319,000 at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and $362,000 at December 31, 2021.

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 ~~$443,000~~$679,000 at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, and $17,000 at December 31, 2021. Contract assets are generally classified as current within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company recognized no impairments on contract assets. For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company recognized ~~$432,000 amount~~$3,547,000 of revenue from contract liabilities related to open jobs outstanding as of December 31, 2021.

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.

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 were no impairment charges of the Company’s long-lived assets for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, respectively.

Goodwill: The purchase consideration of acquired businesses has 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 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 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 impairment charges of the Company's goodwill for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, respectively.

Self-Insurance: The Company is self-insured with respect to its facilities in Columbus, Ohio; Gaffney, South Carolina; Winona, Minnesota; and Brownsville, Texas for medical, dental and vision claims and Columbus, 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 of ~~$890,000~~$898,000 and $916,000, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable carrying values as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of the Company's debt with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association approximate fair value as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 due to the short term nature of the underlying variable rate LIBOR agreements. The fair value of the Company's debt with FGI Equipment Finance, LLC ~~approximates fair value~~was $10,937,000 as of ~~March 31, 2022 and~~June 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2021 the Company's debt with FGI Equipment Finance, LLC approximated fair value, due to immaterial movement in interest rates since the Company entered into the Promissory Note on October 20, 2020.

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, 2021. Core Molding Technologies had a liability for post-retirement healthcare benefits based on actuarial computed estimates of ~~$9,114,000~~$9,113,000 at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and $9,080,000 at December 31, 2021.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL)

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial ~~Instruments-Credit~~Instruments - 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, 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 the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 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.

0Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-4, 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~~have done an assessment verifying ASU No. 2020-4 no longer has an impact on the Company due to the Credit Agreement entered into on July 22, 2022 as ~~a result of reference rate reform and determine whether to apply the optional guidance on an ongoing basis.~~described in Note 15 - Subsequent Events.

4. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed similarly but includes the effect of the assumed exercise of 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 stock 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 granted from the 2006 Plan 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 per common share (in thousands, except for per share data) is as follows:

7. LEASES

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):

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Credit Refinancing

On July 22, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Huntington Credit Agreement") with The Huntington National Bank (“Huntington”), as the sole lender, administrative agent, lead arranger and book runner. Pursuant to the terms of the Huntington Credit Agreement, Huntington made available to the Company secured loans (the "Huntington Loans") in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $75,000,000, consisting of (i) a revolving loan commitment of $25,000,000 (approximately $13,689,000 of which was advanced to the Company on July 22, 2022), (ii) term loan commitments of $25,000,000 ($25,000,000 of which was advanced to the Company on July 22, 2022) and (ii) Capex loan commitments of $25,000,000 (none of which was advanced to the Company on July 22, 2022). The revolving loan commitment terminates, and all outstanding borrowings thereunder must be repaid on July 22, 2027. The term loan is to be repaid in monthly installments beginning in August 2022 of approximately $104,000 per month for the first 24 months, approximately $156,000 per month for the next 24 months, approximately $208,000 for the next 12 months and the remaining balance to be paid in July 2027. Any borrowings from the Capex loan will be converted to new Term Loans annually each February, beginning February 2025, and will have monthly principal repayments based on a sixty month amortization period with all amounts outstanding on the Capex Term Loans being fully due in July 2027. The Company's obligation under the Huntington Credit Agreement and the Loans are secured by each of the Company's U.S. and Canadian assets and 65% of the Company's equity interest in its Mexican subsidiaries and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of its subsidiaries.. Interest is payable monthly and is based on either Daily Simple SOFR or ABR, as defined by the Huntington Credit Agreement, at the discretion of the Company. As of July 22, 2022, the revolving loan and term loan was based on the Daily Simple SOFR resulting in an interest rate of 3.34%.

Table of Contents

Concurrent with the closing of the Huntington Credit Agreement, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that became effective July 22, 2022 and continues through July 22, 2027, which was designated as a cash flow hedge for the entire term loan of $25,000,000 mentioned above. Under this agreement, the Company will pay a fixed rate of 4.75% to the counterparty and receives daily simple SOFR.

The initial proceeds of the Huntington Loans were used in part to (i) repay all existing outstanding indebtedness of the Company owing to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, FGI and Leaf Capital Funding and (ii) pay certain fees and expenses associated with the transactions contemplated by the Huntington Credit Agreement. Additional proceeds of the Huntington Loans will be used to finance the ongoing general needs of the Company.

The Company recorded losses of $1,234,000 from writing off outstanding deferred loan costs and approximately $348,000 from a prepayment fee associated with the FGI Term Loan.

Description of the Company

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, raw material cost inflation, labor availability, and our customers’ production rates and inventory levels. The Company's customers operate in many different markets with different cyclicality and seasonality.

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. The Company has certain contractual commitments that restrict its ability to pass through

Table of Contents

changes in input costs to certain customers. As a result, during periods of significant increases or decreases in input costs operating results may be impacted.

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 operational activity up or down quickly, which may impact manufacturing efficiencies more than in periods of steady demand.

~~Table of Contents~~

Operating performance is also dependent on the Company’s ability to effectively launch new customer programs, which are 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.

Forward Looking

Looking forward, based on our overall evaluation of customers' forecasts, ~~and anticipated~~ new program launches and price increases, the Company expects sales for the second half of 2022 to increase as compared to the second half of 2021. Customers in the medium and heavy-duty truck ~~power sports, utilities and industrial markets~~market are forecasting higher demand in the second half of 2022. New programs launched in the power sports and utilities markets in 2021 ~~and~~as well as anticipated launches of previously awarded new programs induring the remainder of 2022 isare also expected to increase sales. We are ~~monitoring~~continuing to monitor ongoing customer supply chain disruptions and higher interest rates and would anticipate some unfavorable impact on customer demand, ~~but~~although we cannot estimate the timing ~~of the impact.~~for when any such supply chain disruptions and higher interests rates may impact demand.

The Company’s supply chains have become more stable, but the Company continues to experience higher raw material costs and anticipates most raw material costs to remain elevated in 2022, including thermoset resins and fiberglass. The Company was able to recover ~~much of the~~certain raw material cost increases in the first ~~quarter~~half of 2022 and is ~~pursuing additional~~continuing to pursue cost ~~recoveries where the Company cannot offset increases.~~recoveries.

Labor market constraints in all Company locations started to improve in the first ~~quarter~~half of 2022.We anticipate the labor constraints to continue to improve, subject to any pandemic challenges, although we anticipate ongoing wage inflation.

~~Description of the Company~~

Core Molding Technologies and its subsidiaries operate in the engineered materials market as one operating segment as a molder of thermoplastic and thermoset structural products. The Company produces and sells molded products for varied markets, including medium and heavy-duty trucks, power sports, building products, industrial and utilities and other commercial markets. Core Molding Technologies has its headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, and operates six production facilities in three countries, the United States, Canada and Mexico.

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 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 Loans and Term Loans under the 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 be 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~~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.

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.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were (i) effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act was accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (ii) effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred in the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
