CPS wraps up $419.95 million auto loan-backed securitization

LAS VEGAS - Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:CPSS), a specialty finance company, has completed its second auto loan securitization of 2025, raising $419.95 million backed by automobile receivables. The securitization, which closed today, marks the company’s 55th senior subordinate securitization since 2011 and the 38th in a row to earn a ’AAA’ rating from at least two rating agencies for its senior class of notes. According to InvestingPro data, CPSS maintains strong financial health with a current ratio of 2.37, indicating robust liquidity to support its operations.

The notes, issued by CPS Auto Receivables Trust 2025-B, are divided into five classes, with a weighted average coupon of approximately 5.96%. The senior class A notes amount to $191.52 million with an interest rate of 4.74% and received ’AAA’ ratings from both Standard & Poor’s and DBRS Morningstar. The ratings reflect the structure of the deal, the performance history of similar receivables, and CPS’s servicing record.

Initial credit enhancement measures for the transaction include a cash deposit of 1.00% of the original receivable pool balance and overcollateralization of 4.40%. Additionally, the agreements mandate accelerated principal payments to achieve overcollateralization of the lesser of 8.65% of the initial receivable pool balance or 22.00% of the current pool balance.

The offering was a private sale of securities, exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and state securities laws. Now that the securities have been sold, the company has made this announcement for record-keeping purposes.
