UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON DC 20549 ------------- FORM 8-K CURRENT REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 Date of Report (Date of earliest event reported) April 25, 2006 CONSUMER PORTFOLIO SERVICES, INC. --------------------------------- (Exact Name of Registrant as Specified in Charter) CALIFORNIA 001-14116 33-0459135 ---------- --------- ---------- (State or Other Jurisdiction (Commission (IRS Employer of Incorporation) File Number) Identification No.) 16355 Laguna Canyon Road, Irvine, CA 92618 ------------------------------------------ (Address of Principal Executive Offices) (Zip Code) Registrant's telephone number, including area code (949) 753-6800 Not Applicable -------------- (Former name or former address, if changed since last report) ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION. The information in this Item 2.02, and the related Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On April 25, 2006, the registrant issued a news release announcing its earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. A copy of the release is attached as Exhibit 99.1. Exhibit 99.1 to the report may contain a "non-GAAP financial measure" as defined in Item 10 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The possible non-GAAP financial measure is "managed receivables." This possible non-GAAP financial measure is discussed below, including the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP"), a reconciliation of managed receivables to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, and the reasons why the Company believes the presentation of managed receivables provides useful information to management and to investors. Managed receivables should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. On page 1 of the earnings release included as Exhibit 99.1, the Company stated that managed receivables were $1,240.0 million at March 31, 2006. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP to the managed receivables measure is finance receivables on the consolidated balance sheet. The managed receivables measure also includes (i) the finance receivables held by unconsolidated subsidiaries off balance sheet pursuant to statement on financial accounting standards No. 140, (ii) finance receivables serviced by the Company without any ownership interest, and (iii) repossessed vehicles included in other assets in the Company's balance sheet. In addition, the managed receivables measure includes allowance for credit losses, unearned origination fees, and certain other less significant adjustments. The following table reconciles the Company's finance receivables, prepared on the basis of GAAP, to managed receivables as of March 31, 2006: 2 March 31, 2006 (in millions) ------------- Net finance receivables per balance sheet $1,050.8 Allowance for finance receivables credit losses 63.8 Net unearned origination fees 18.3 Finance receivables held by unconsolidated subsidiaries 83.2 Finance receivables serviced without ownership interest 12.5 Adjustment for discount and Rule 78s 1.3 Repossessed vehicles included in other assets on balance sheet 10.1 ------------- $1,240.0 ============= The managed receivables measure is useful to management and investors because it facilitates comparisons between the Company and other finance companies that either do not securitize their receivables or, due to the structure of their securitization transactions, account for the securitizations of their receivables as sales. The managed receivables measure is primarily used by investors and analysts for that purpose. ITEM 9.01. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS. (c) Exhibits.

EXHIBIT 99.1 CPS NEWS RELEASE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONSUMER PORTFOLIO SERVICES, INC. REPORTS 2006 FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS IRVINE, CALIFORNIA, APRIL 25, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: CPSS) today announced earnings for its first quarter ended March 31, 2006. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $1.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $(239,000), or $(0.01) per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. For the three months ended March 31, 2006 total revenues increased approximately $16.2 million, or 38.7%, to $58.0 million, compared to $41.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 were $56.2 million, an increase of $14.2 million, or 33.7%, as compared to $42.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. "We are pleased with the financial performance of the Company for the first quarter," said Charles E. Bradley, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We have now had four profitable quarters in a row and have re-established a financial base from which to grow. Operationally, we continued the successful execution of our business plan. During the first quarter, purchases of new receivables were the highest they have been in almost eight years. With respect to asset performance, delinquencies and credit losses improved vs. the fourth quarter as we expected given seasonal historical patterns. These asset performance metrics also compare favorably to those from the first quarter of 2005." During the first quarter of 2006, Consumer Portfolio Services purchased $254.5 million of contracts from dealers as compared to $188.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2005 and $144.2 million during the first quarter of 2005. As previously reported, the Company continued its regular quarterly securitization program with the March sale of $245.0 million of AAA/Aaa rated asset backed notes. As of March 31, 2006, the Company's managed receivables totaled $1,240.0 million, as follows ($ in millions): Owned by Consolidated Subsidiaries* $1,144.3 Owned by Non-Consolidated Subsidiaries 83.2 As Third Party Servicer for SeaWest Financial 12.5 -------- Total $1,240.0 * Before $93.5 million of allowance for credit losses, deferred acquisition fees and repossessed vehicles. As previously reported, in order to increase transparency of the Company's financial reports, in the third quarter of 2003 Consumer Portfolio Services began structuring its securitization transactions as secured financings, with receivables and associated debt remaining on the balance sheet, and without recognition of a gain on sale. Accordingly, net earnings are recognized over the life of the receivables as interest income and fee income, less related funding costs and a provision for losses. Such provisions are recorded upon acquisition and during the life of the receivables.
