Insights

CPS's Q3 2024 results show mixed signals. While revenue increased by 9.2% to $100.6 million, net income declined significantly from the prior year. The company's total portfolio reached a record $3.33 billion, driven by strong originations of $445.9 million in new contracts. However, there are concerning trends in credit quality - annualized net charge-offs increased to 7.32% from 6.86% YoY and delinquencies rose to 14.04% from 13.31%. Operating expenses jumped by 20.3%, significantly outpacing revenue growth and compressing margins. The 60.8% decline in pretax income from $14.2 million to $6.9 million reflects these operational challenges. While growth metrics are strong, deteriorating credit performance and cost control warrant careful monitoring.

The rising delinquency and charge-off trends are significant red flags. The 73 basis point increase in delinquencies over 30 days indicates growing stress in the consumer credit portfolio. This deterioration, combined with higher charge-offs, suggests the company may need to increase loan loss provisions, further pressuring profitability. The aggressive portfolio growth amid worsening credit metrics raises questions about underwriting standards and risk appetite. The auto lending market's sensitivity to interest rates and economic conditions makes these trends particularly concerning. While the company maintains strong origination volume, the quality of these loans and potential future losses require close scrutiny.

  • Revenues of $100.6 million compared to $92.1 million in the prior year period
  • Net income of $4.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share
  • Total portfolio balance of $3.330 billion, highest in company history
  • New contract purchases of $445.9 million, compared to $322.4 million in the prior year period

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.
