Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (Nasdaq:CPSS) (“CPS” or the
“Company”) today announced the closing of its first term
securitization in 2018. The transaction is CPS's 27th senior
subordinate securitization since the beginning of 2011 and the
tenth consecutive securitization to receive a triple “A” rating on
the senior class of notes from at least two rating
agencies.
In the transaction, qualified institutional
buyers purchased $190.0 million of asset-backed notes secured by
$193.6 million in automobile receivables originated by CPS.
The sold notes, issued by CPS Auto Receivables Trust 2018-A,
consist of five classes. Ratings of the notes were provided
by Standard & Poor’s and DBRS, and were based on the structure
of the transaction, the historical performance of similar
receivables and CPS’s experience as a servicer.

The 2018-A transaction has initial credit
enhancement consisting of a cash deposit equal to 1.00% of the
original receivable pool balance and over-collateralization of
1.85%. The final enhancement level requires accelerated
payment of principal on the notes to reach over-collateralization
of the lesser of 6.80% of the original receivable pool balance, or
18.50% of the then outstanding pool balance.
The transaction utilizes a pre-funding
structure, in which CPS sold approximately $121.3 million of
receivables today and plans to sell approximately $72.3 million of
additional receivables during January 2018. This further sale
is intended to provide CPS with long-term financing for receivables
purchased primarily in the month of January.
The transaction was a private offering of
securities, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or any
state securities law. All of such securities having been
sold, this announcement of their sale appears as a matter of record
only.
