LAS VEGAS, NV, July 30, 2024 (GlobeNewswire) -- Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: CPSS) (“CPS” or the “Company”) today announced earnings of $4.7 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024. This compares to a net income of $14.0 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2023.

 

Revenues for the second quarter of 2024 were $95.9 million, an increase of $11.0 million, or 13.0%, compared to $84.9 million for the second quarter of 2023. Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were $89.2 million compared to $66.3 million for the 2023 period. A reversal of provision for credit loss expense reduced operating expenses by $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $9.7 million in the second quarter of 2023. Pretax income for the second quarter of 2024 was $6.7 million compared to pretax income of $18.6 million in the second quarter of 2023.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 total revenues were $187.6 million compared to $168.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of approximately $19.7 million, or 11.7%. Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $174.4 million, compared to $130.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. A reversal of provision for credit loss expense reduced operating expenses in the first six months of 2024 and 2023, by $3.6 million and $18.7 million, respectively. Pretax income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $13.2 million, compared to $37.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $9.3 million compared to $27.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

During the second quarter of 2024, CPS purchased $431.9 million of new contracts compared to $346.3 million during the first quarter of 2024 and $318.4 million during the second quarter of 2023. The Company's receivables totaled $3.173 billion as of June 30, 2024, an increase from $3.021 billion as of March 31, 2024 and an increase from $2.910 billion as of June 30, 2023.

 

Annualized net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2024 were 7.26% of the average portfolio as compared to 6.29% for the second quarter of 2023. Delinquencies greater than 30 days (including repossession inventory) were 13.29% of the total portfolio as of June 30, 2024, as compared to 11.72% as of June 30, 2023.

 

"During our second quarter, origination volumes outpaced last year’s second quarter by 36%, leading to the closing of our largest securitization in company history,” said Charles E. Bradley Jr., Chief Executive Officer. "We remain focused on controlled growth and improving operating 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 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.
