CPS Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Earnings
February 23 2021 - 4:35PM
Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: CPSS) (“CPS” or the
“Company”) today announced earnings of $4.1 million, or $0.17 per
diluted share, for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020. This
compares to a net income of $29,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2020 were
$62.4 million, a decrease of $23.3 million, or 27.2%, compared to
$85.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. Total operating
expenses for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $56.0 million compared
to $84.8 million for the 2019 period. Pretax income for
the fourth quarter of 2020 was $6.5 million compared to pretax
income of $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020
total revenues were $271.2 million compared to $345.8 million for
the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of
approximately $74.6 million, or 21.6%. Total expenses for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2020 were $251.0 million, a
decrease of $85.6 million, or 25.4%, compared to $336.6 million for
the twelve months ended December 31, 2019. Pretax income for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2020 was $20.1 million, compared
to $9.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019. Net
income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 was $21.7
million, or $0.90 per diluted share. This compares to net income of
$5.4 million, or $0.22 per diluted share for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2019. Results for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2020 include a net tax benefit of $8.8 million related
to the revaluation of the Company’s net operating losses and other
tax adjustments. Without this tax benefit, net income and net
income per diluted share for the twelve months ended December 31,
2020 would have been $12.9 million and $0.54 per share,
respectively.
During the fourth quarter of 2020, CPS purchased
$166.7 million of new contracts compared to $174.0 million during
the third quarter of 2020 and $247.5 million during the fourth
quarter of 2019. The Company's receivables totaled $2.175 billion
as of December 31, 2020, a decrease from $2.250 billion as of
September 30, 2020 and a decrease from $2.416 billion as of
December 31, 2019.
Annualized net charge-offs for the fourth
quarter of 2020 were 5.18% of the average portfolio as compared to
7.92% for the fourth quarter of 2019. Delinquencies greater than 30
days (including repossession inventory) were 12.08% of the total
portfolio as of December 31, 2020, as compared to 15.46% as of
December 31, 2019.
“We began 2020 with the highest expectations and
then adjusted to the changes brought about by the pandemic,”
reported Charles E. Bradley, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer. “As the year unfolded, we experienced the interruption and
return of the asset-backed securitization market, briefly higher
delinquencies followed by improvement to even lower levels than
before the pandemic, and the resilience and fortitude of our staff
as we navigated work-from-home and enhanced office health
protocols. We are looking forward to a return to pre-pandemic world
in 2021.”

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 pandemic-related
markdown of carrying value for the portion of its portfolio
accounted for at fair value, its pandemic-related 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 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 (in
addition to risks relating to the COVD-19 pandemic and 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. The accuracy of such estimates
may also be affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and of
governmental responses to said pandemic, which have included
prohibitions on certain means of enforcement of receivables, and
may include additional restrictions, yet unknown, in the future.
Any or all 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.
