Exhibit 99.1

The Subprime Source Since 1991 March 2024 Investor Presentation

 
 

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT Forward - looking statements in this presentation include the Company's recorded figures representing allowances for remaining expected lifetime credit losses, it’s marks to the carrying value for the portion of its portfolio accounted for at fair value, its charge to the provision for credit losses for the its legacy portfolio, its estimates of fair value (most significantly for its receivables accounted for at fair value), its entries offsetting the preceding, its anticipated credit facility capacity, 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 cash to be received and losses to be incurred in the future. The accuracy of such statements 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; economic conditions in geographic areas in which the Company's business is concentrated; the long - term effects of the COVID - 19 pandemic; unexpected exogenous events, such as a widespread plague or a resurgence of the COVID - 19 pandemic including governmental responses to such events, which have included prohibitions on certain means of enforcement of receivables, and may include additional restrictions and mandates imposed in reaction to such events, such as prohibitions of otherwise permissible activity; competition; adverse decisions by courts or regulators; and a default under any credit facility debt agreement which, if not waived could result in acceleration of the related indebtedness and impair the Company’s ability to secure additional financing. 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 past results or past consecutive earnings are indicative of future results or future earnings 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. 2
