LAS VEGAS, NV, November 9, 2023 (GlobeNewswire) -- Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: CPSS) (“CPS” or the “Company”) today announced earnings of $10.4 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023. This compares to net income of $25.4 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2022.

 

Revenues for the third quarter of 2023 were $92.1 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 2.0%, compared to $90.3 million for the third quarter of 2022. Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were $77.9 million compared to $56.0 million for the 2022 period. Pretax income for the third quarter of 2023 was $14.2 million, compared to pretax income of $34.3 million in the third quarter of 2022.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 total revenues were $260.0 million compared to $246.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of approximately $13.3 million, or 5.4%. Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $208.8 million, compared to $148.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Pretax income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $51.3 million, compared to $97.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $38.2 million compared to $71.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

During the third quarter of 2023, CPS purchased $322.4 million of new contracts compared to $318.4 million during the second quarter of 2023 and $468.2 million during the third quarter of 2022. The Company's receivables totaled $2.943 billion as of September 30, 2023, an increase from $2.910 billion as of June 30, 2023 and $2.687 billion as of September 30, 2022.

 

Annualized net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2023 were 6.86% of the average portfolio as compared to 4.93% for the third quarter of 2022. Delinquencies greater than 30 days (including repossession inventory) were 13.31% of the total portfolio as of September 30, 2023, as compared to 10.85% as of September 30, 2022.

 

“Continued growth in both interest income and the loan portfolio were the book ends to our solid quarter,” said Charles E. Bradley, Chief Executive Officer. “Despite the economic headwinds, we remain cautiously optimistic as we continue to grow the loan portfolio and monitor the performance of existing loans while staying focused on cost efficiency.”

About Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc.

 

Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. is an independent specialty finance company that provides indirect automobile financing to individuals with past credit problems, low incomes or limited credit histories. We purchase retail installment sales contracts primarily from franchised automobile dealerships secured by late model used vehicles and, to a lesser extent, new vehicles. We fund these contract purchases on a long-term basis primarily through the securitization markets and service the contracts over their lives.

 

Forward-looking statements in this news release include the Company's recorded figures representing allowances for remaining expected lifetime credit losses, its estimates of fair value (most significantly for its receivables accounted for at fair value), its provision for credit losses, its entries offsetting the preceding, and figures derived from any of the preceding.  In each case, such figures are forward-looking statements because they are dependent on the Company’s estimates of losses to be incurred in the future. The accuracy of such estimates may be adversely affected by various factors, which include 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. Any or 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 losses to be incurred in the future may affect future performance.
