LAS VEGAS, NV, April 25, 2016 (GlobeNewswire) -- Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: CPSS) (“CPS” or the “Company”) today announced earnings of $7.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for its first quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2016 were $88.4 million, an increase of $17.2 million, or 24.1%, compared to $71.2 million for the 2015 period. Pretax income for the first quarter of 2016 was $12.2 million compared to pretax income of $14.7 million in the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of 17.1%.

 

During the first quarter of 2016, CPS purchased $312.3 million of new contracts compared to $269.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2015 and $233.9 million during the first quarter of 2015. The Company's managed receivables totaled $2.142 billion as of March 31, 2016, an increase from $2.031 billion as of December 31, 2015 and $1.726 billion as of March 31, 2015.

Forward-looking statements in this news release include the Company's recorded revenue, expense and provision for credit losses, because these items are dependent on the Company’s estimates of incurred losses. 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.
