Insights

CPS reports 16.6% revenue growth and record portfolio balance despite stable earnings per share and rising delinquencies.

Consumer Portfolio Services has delivered a mixed first quarter with some notable achievements alongside concerning trends. Revenue increased impressively by $15.2 million (16.6%) to $106.9 million, driven primarily by higher interest income as the company's portfolio grew to a record $3.615 billion. This portfolio expansion represents a 19.7% year-over-year increase, demonstrating strong origination capabilities with $451.2 million in new contracts purchased.

However, this growth hasn't translated to improved bottom-line performance. Net income of $4.7 million was only marginally higher than the $4.6 million reported in Q1 2024, with earnings per share flat at $0.19. This profit stagnation stems from significantly higher operating expenses, which jumped by $14.9 million, primarily due to a 30.9% increase in interest expenses to $54.9 million.

The company's net interest margin percentage declined from 6.7% to 5.8%, indicating compression in profitability metrics despite portfolio growth. While annualized net charge-offs improved slightly from 7.84% to 7.54%, they remain elevated. Delinquencies over 30 days (including repossessions) at 12.35% showed minimal improvement from 12.39% a year ago.

Another concerning trend is the deterioration in recovery rates, which fell from 33.3% to 27.7%. This means CPS is recovering less value from defaulted loans, which could pressure future profitability if the trend continues. The company has also increased its reliance on debt financing, with securitization trust debt up to $2.74 billion from $2.59 billion at year-end.

While management highlighted record first-quarter originations as positioning them well for the remainder of the year, the challenge will be converting this portfolio growth into improved profitability while managing credit quality in an environment where recovery rates are declining.

  • Revenues of $106.9 million compared to $91.7 million in the prior year period
  • Net income of $4.7 million, or $0.19 per diluted share
  • Total portfolio balance of $3.615 billion, highest in company history
  • New contract purchases of $451.2 million

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.
