CPS Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2019 Earnings
March 16 2020 - 4:15PM
Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: CPSS) (“CPS” or the
“Company”) today announced earnings of $29,000 for its fourth
quarter ended December 31, 2019. This compares to a net income of
$5.4 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of
2018. For the fourth quarter of 2018, the results include a $2.1
million net tax benefit related to certain tax planning strategies
and other adjustments. Without the benefit, net income would have
been $3.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted share.
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2019 were
$85.7 million, a decrease of $5.5 million, or 6.0%, compared to
$91.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. Total operating
expenses for the fourth quarter of 2019 were $84.8 million compared
to $86.4 million for the 2018 period. Pretax income for the
fourth quarter of 2019 was $0.9 million compared to pretax income
of $4.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2019
total revenues were $345.8 million compared to $389.8 million for
the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of
approximately $44.0 million, or 11.3%. Total expenses for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2019 were $336.6 million, a
decrease of $34.5 million, or 9.3%, compared to $371.1 million for
the twelve months ended December 31, 2018. Pretax income for
the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was $9.2 million,
compared to $18.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31,
2018. Net income for the twelve months ended December 31,
2019 was $5.4 million compared to $14.9 million for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2018. The full-year 2018 results include
a $2.1 million net tax benefit related to certain tax planning
strategies and other adjustments. Without the benefit, net income
for 2018 would have been $12.8, or $0.51 per diluted share.
During the fourth quarter of 2019, CPS purchased
$247.5 million of new contracts compared to $262.1 million during
the third quarter of 2019 and $251.8 million during the fourth
quarter of 2018. The Company's receivables totaled $2.416
billion as of December 31, 2019, an increase from $2.413 billion as
of September 30, 2019 and an increase from $2.381 billion as of
December 31, 2018.
Annualized net charge-offs for the fourth
quarter of 2019 were 7.92% of the average portfolio as compared to
7.19% for the fourth quarter of 2018. Delinquencies greater
than 30 days (including repossession inventory) were 15.46% of the
total portfolio as of December 31, 2019, as compared to 13.88% as
of December 31, 2018.
“In 2019, our contract purchases grew 11% over
the prior year and reached $1.0 billion for the first time since
2016, reported Charles E. Bradley, Jr., Chief Executive
Officer. “As of December 31, 2019, our receivables measured
at fair value comprise $1.5 billion, or 62% of our total managed
portfolio. Continuing provisions for credit losses on the
legacy portfolio have made for a difficult transition from a
financial reporting standpoint, but we are looking forward to 2020
and the continued growth of the portfolio accounted for at fair
value.”
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 revenue, expense, provision for
credit losses and fair value of receivables, because these items
are dependent on the Company’s estimates of losses to be incurred.
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.
