IRVINE, California, February 10, 2014 (GlobeNewswire) -- Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: CPSS) (“CPS” or the “Company”) today announced earnings of $6.5 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013. This compares to net income of $64.8 million, or $2.20 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2012. The 2012 period includes an income tax benefit of $60.2 million, or $2.04 per diluted share, related to the reversal of a valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax asset net of current period income tax expense. Earnings for 2013 were $21.0 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, as compared to earnings of $69.4 million, or $2.72 per diluted share, for 2012. The 2012 period includes an income tax benefit of $60.2 million, or $2.36 per diluted share, related to the reversal of a valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax asset net of current period income tax expense.
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $66.6 million, an increase of $16.0 million, or 32%, compared to $50.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $55.1 million, an increase of $9.1 million, or 20%, compared to $46.0 million for the 2012 period. Pretax income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $11.5 million compared to pretax income of $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, an increase of 150%.
For the year ended December 31, 2013 total revenues were $255.8 million compared to $187.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of approximately $68.6 million, or 37%. Total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $218.6 million, an increase of $40.6 million, or 23%, compared to $178.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Pretax income for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $37.2 million, compared to $9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, CPS purchased $173.4 million of new contracts compared to $206.8 million during the third quarter of 2013 and $150.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2012. The Company's managed receivables totaled $1.231 billion as of December 31, 2013, an increase from $1.167 billion as of September 30, 2013 and $897.6 million as of December 31, 2012, as follows ($ in millions):
Originating Entity | December 31, 2013 | September 30, 2013 | December 31, 2012 |
CPS | $1,213.8 | $1,141.1 | $825.0 |
Fireside Bank | 14.8 | 21.7 | 60.8 |
TFC | - | - | 0.2 |
As Third Party Servicer | 2.8 | 4.1 | 11.6 |
Total | $1,231.4 | $1,166.9 | $897.6 |
Annualized net charge-offs for 2013 were 4.73% of the average owned portfolio as compared to 3.61% for 2012. Delinquencies greater than 30 days (including repossession inventory) were 6.87% of the total owned portfolio as of December 31, 2013, as compared to 5.55% as of December 31, 2012.
As previously reported, during December CPS closed its fourth term securitization transaction of 2013 and the 11th transaction since April 2011. In the senior subordinate structure, a special purpose subsidiary sold five tranches of asset-backed notes totaling $183.0 million. The notes are secured by automobile receivables purchased by CPS and have a weighted average effective coupon of approximately 2.89%. The transaction has initial credit enhancement consisting of a cash deposit equal to 1.00% of the original receivable pool balance. The final enhancement level requires accelerated payment of principal on the notes to reach overcollateralization of 5.00% of the then-outstanding receivable pool balance.
"2013 was another very good year for CPS," said Charles E. Bradley, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition to record pre-tax profits, our new contract purchases grew 38% year-over-year and our total managed portfolio surpassed $1.2 billion for the first time since 2010. The fourth quarter of 2013 marked our ninth consecutive quarter of improving pre-tax income.”
“We also made significant progress on several strategic objectives in 2013 to strengthen our balance sheet. First, we amended our revolving credit facilities to include multi-year revolving periods and amortization periods thereafter. In addition, we began the deleveraging process of repaying our residual and corporate debt, which we expect to nearly complete by the end of this year. These moves should enhance our operating and financial stability across a variety of capital markets environments.”
Conference Call
CPS announced that it will hold a conference call on Tuesday, February 11, 2014, at 1:00 p.m. ET to discuss its quarterly operating results. Those wishing to participate by telephone may dial-in at 877 312-5502 or 253 237-1131 approximately 10 minutes prior to the scheduled time.

Forward-looking statements in this news release include the Company's recorded revenue, expense and provision for credit losses, because these items are dependent on the Company’s estimates of incurred losses. The accuracy of such estimates may be adversely affected by various factors, which include (in addition to risks relating to the economy generally) the following: possible increased delinquencies; repossessions and losses on retail installment contracts; incorrect prepayment speed and/or discount rate assumptions; possible unavailability of qualified personnel, which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to service its portfolio; possible increases in the rate of consumer bankruptcy filings, which could adversely affect the Company’s rights to collect payments from its portfolio; other changes in government regulations affecting consumer credit; possible declines in the market price for used vehicles, which could adversely affect the Company’s realization upon repossessed vehicles; and economic conditions in geographic areas in which the Company's business is concentrated. All of such factors also may affect the Company’s future financial results, as to which there can be no assurance. Any implication that the results of the most recently completed quarter are indicative of future results is disclaimed, and the reader should draw no such inference. Factors such as those identified above in relation to the provision for credit losses may affect future performance.
