LAS VEGAS - Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:CPSS), a specialty finance company with a market capitalization of approximately $190 million, has closed a $65 million securitization deal involving the sale of residual interests from previous securitizations. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 2.37, indicating robust financial health. The transaction saw a qualified institutional buyer acquiring asset-backed notes secured by an 80% stake in a majority-owned affiliate that holds the residual interests in five of CPS’s securitizations, spanning from October 2023 to September 2024.
The affiliate’s interest encompasses 80% of the funds in the spread accounts and the over-collateralization of each related securitization. Over-collateralization refers to the excess of the outstanding principal balance of the receivables over the principal balance of the notes issued in the securitization. The notes sold will accrue interest at a predetermined coupon rate and may also receive principal payments to maintain a minimum collateral ratio. With annual revenue of $185.5 million and trading at a P/E ratio of 9.86, InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently trading near its Fair Value.
This recent transaction was conducted privately, with the securities not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities laws. The announcement is made post-sale as a formal record.
