FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Core Molding Technologies Reports Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Results

First-Half New Business Wins of $25.7 million Expand Market Diversification and Reinforce Full-Year Invest for Growth Expectations

COLUMBUS, OH, August 4, 2026 – Core Molding Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: CMT) (“Core Molding”, “Core” or the “Company”), a leading engineered materials company specializing in molded structural products, principally in medium-and heavy-duty truck, powersports, building products, and industrial and utilities industries across the United States, Canada and Mexico today reports financial and operating results for the fiscal periods ended June 30, 2026.

Eric Palomaki, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our second quarter results reflect the resilience of our diversified portfolio and the continued execution of our Invest for Growth strategy. As expected, production sales in our medium- and heavy-duty truck markets remained soft; however, strong momentum across our powersports, building products, and industrial and utilities end markets mostly offset that weakness. While tooling revenue remains all project-driven with larger customer acceptances anticipated in the fourth quarter, our commercial execution continues to gain traction. We are pleased with the nearly $26 million in new business awards we secured during the first half of 2026, which further diversify our revenue base and reduce our reliance on historically cyclical end markets. Importantly, 100% of these awards represent net new business rather than replacement volume, and approximately 65% originated from markets outside of our traditional truck and powersports sectors. 74% of this new business will be produced within our U.S. manufacturing footprint, allowing us to leverage installed capacity, improve returns on invested capital, drive profitable growth, and generate stronger cash flow. We are also expanding our presence in compelling secular growth markets. During the quarter, we secured a significant award for battery energy storage systems and continue to pursue opportunities tied to accelerating power demand needed for grid reliability which is impacted by AI data center development, utility infrastructure modernization, and load-shedding solutions.

“In parallel with these initiatives, our 2026 Must Win Battle is transforming our operating footprint and strengthening our competitive position in Mexico. This year, we will quadruple our manufacturing footprint in Monterrey, adding two 4500-ton presses in Matamoros, and advancing a culture of operational excellence that continues to deliver measurable results. I am especially proud of our Mexico team, whose execution enabled the successful completion of a major plant relocation and consolidation in less than nine months all while maintaining excellent on time shipping and quality metrics. These investments reflect our disciplined approach to capital allocation and our commitment to organic growth. By expanding capacity, we are building a scalable platform that supports secured and future programs, accelerates profitable growth, and enhances long-term shareholder value."

Alex Panda, the Company’s EVP and Chief Financial Officer, said, “For the second quarter, total product or production sales declined 1.2% year over year, as strong growth across powersports, building products, and industrial and utilities end markets largely offset lower truck demand. Production sales, excluding the truck end market, increased 20.8% year over year. This quarter, we again delivered a strong profitability as gross margin was 20.3% of sales. For 2026, we continue to expect total net sales in the flat-to-approximately 5% growth range, including production revenue and tooling project revenue. We continue to anticipate a gradual recovery in the truck market during the second half of the year. Our gross margin projections remain in the 17% to 19% range, depending on end market product mix and the split between production revenues and tooling project revenues.

“Our balance sheet remains strong. During the quarter, we repaid the remaining balance on our 2022 Term Loan, and in July 2026, we successfully amended and extended our credit facilities, further strengthening our financial position. The amended credit agreement provides a $50 million revolving credit facility and a $50 million delayed-draw term loan facility, both maturing in July 2031. During the quarter, we also terminated our interest rate swap

agreement, generating a small gain and simplifying our capital structure. With ample liquidity, enhanced financial flexibility, and a disciplined approach to capital allocation, we remain well positioned to execute our ‘Invest for Growth' strategy and support our long-term growth objectives.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Core Molding management uses non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company's performance. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results available in the accompanying tables.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before, as applicable from time to time, (i) interest expense, net, (ii) provision (benefit) for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, (iv) share based compensation expense, (v) restructuring and severance costs, and (vi) nonrecurring legal settlement costs and associated legal expenses unrelated to the Company's core operations. Debt-to-trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA represents total outstanding debt divided by trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. Free Cash Flow represents net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less purchase of property, plant and equipment. Trailing twelve months return on capital employed represents the trailing twelve months earnings before (i) interest expense, net and (ii) provision (benefit) for income taxes divided by (i) stockholders' equity and (ii) current and long-term debt. Adjusted Net Income represents net income before severance cost (net of tax).

We present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net revenue , Free Cash Flow and trailing twelve months Return on Capital Employed because management uses these measures as key performance indicators, and we believe that securities analysts, investors and others use these measures to evaluate companies in our industry. These measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance. Our calculation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies. The following tables present reconciliations of net income to Adjusted EBITDA, and Cash Flow from Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, and trailing twelve months Return on Capital Employed, for the periods presented:
