## Exhibit 99.1

**<u>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</u>**

**Core Molding Technologies Reports Fiscal 2025 Second Quarter Results**

*Invest for Growth Success with First Half New Business Wins of $47 million and Announcement of Organic Investment of $25 million*

COLUMBUS, OH, August 5, 2025 – **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 building products, industrial and utilities, medium and heavy-duty truck and powersports industries across the United States, Canada and Mexico today reports financial and operating results for the fiscal periods ended June 30, 2025.

**David Duvall, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, said,** "I am proud of our team's disciplined execution in our ability to maintain gross margins with sales being down in our two current major markets: Truck and Powersports, which makes up 75% of our total revenue. I am excited when I look to the future with the significant progress we have made in our Invest For Growth strategy. We have won $47 million in new incremental business, achieving this milestone only halfway through the year. These new programs will launch over the next two years and represent blue-chip customers across diverse end-markets, including building products, EV - transportation, aerospace, and powersports.

Although 2025 market demand levels are not where we want them to be, I am pleased with our execution of our Invest For Growth strategy and it is setting us up well for long-term growth. In addition, I am pleased to announce that we have won the new Volvo Mexico programs that will launch in Q1 of 2027. To support the new business and anticipated additional future business we are investing $25 million, including an expansion of our Matamoros plant and a new plant and equipment in Monterrey Mexico. We are excited about making these investments in our organic growth by adding capacity and capabilities to our Matamoros and Monterrey locations. Organic growth has been our highest priority for our capital allocation strategy and making this investment not only launches a major truck program but adds DCPD molding and paint capabilities to our Monterrey facility, which is physically closer to major customers. This is a major step in our asset allocation strategy, and we look forward to continuing to grow our business with Volvo and other customers in the growing Monterrey area. These are long-term programs which we anticipate will provide revenues of $150 million over the next seven to ten years. We are proud to be a trusted partner of Volvo as they launch production from their new manufacturing site in Mexico."

**Alex Panda, the Company's EVP and Chief Financial Officer, said,** "Similar to the first quarter, the majority of the sales declines resulted from the previously announced truck program phase-out, coupled with persistent consumer demand weakness in the truck and powersports segments. In the second quarter, we delivered solid profitability and healthy operating and free cash flow, a clear demonstration of our ability to execute and drive value, even in a softer demand environment. Despite pressure on fixed cost leverage and sales mix this quarter, we held gross margins in our projected range of 17% to 19%.

Looking ahead to the second half of 2025, we expect year-over-year sales comparisons to improve, with projected sales moderating to a manageable 4% to 6% decline range in the second half. As a reminder, we still anticipate our sales mix to be meaningfully impacted in 2025 by higher tooling sales, which pressured gross margins compared to product sales.

We were pleased to generate $9.6 million of cash from operations and $5.2 million of free cash flow. Our balance sheet remains strong, and we have flexibility and ample liquidity to advance our 'Invest for Growth' strategy including the recently awarded Volvo Mexico program and our capital allocation investment of $25 million related to our plant expansion. We plan to continue with another capital allocation priority of returning capital to shareholders through our ongoing share repurchase program."

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 sales, debt-to-trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA, 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 Debt to trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA and trailing twelve months Return on Capital Employed, for the periods presented:
