CORE MOLDING TECHNOLOGIES REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE FIRST
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2014
COLUMBUS, Ohio - May 5, 2014 - Core Molding Technologies, Inc. (NYSE MKT: CMT) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.
Net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014 was $2,120,000 or $0.29 per basic and $0.28 per diluted share, compared with $1,681,000, or $0.24 per basic and $0.23 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2013. Total net sales for the first quarter were $41,075,000 compared with $34,362,000 in the same quarter of 2013. Product sales totaled $40,664,000, increasing 24% from $32,858,000, for the first quarter of 2014.
"We are pleased to report strong growth in both revenue and earnings for the quarter as both our product sales and net income increased over 20% compared to the first quarter of 2013," said Kevin L. Barnett, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are also pleased to see improvement in our gross margin over the fourth quarter of 2013, as we made progress working through start-up inefficiencies associated with the many new programs we launched in 2013," Barnett continued.
“Going forward, we expect to see continued positive year-over-year results for both the second quarter and the full year driven by increased sales from our new business activity and increased production levels being communicated by many of our customers,” Barnett noted.
