- Finance receivables measured at fair value increased to $3.559 billion from $3.314 billion
- Total assets rose to $3.764 billion from $3.494 billion, reflecting portfolio expansion

- Interest expense increased $12.0 million to $58.7 million, reducing operating leverage
- Net interest yield declined to 5.1% from 5.3%, reflecting higher funding costs versus asset yields

Insights
TL;DR: Revenue and portfolio growth offset by higher funding costs left EPS nearly flat; funding mix and securitization costs are pivotal.
The company posted 14.5% revenue growth to $109.8M driven by a larger average portfolio and higher interest income, while interest expense rose $12.0M to $58.7M. Net income increased marginally to $4.8M, producing basic EPS of $0.22. Finance receivables measured at fair value grew to $3.559B, supporting top-line expansion, but the blended cost of securitizations and increased use of warehouse lines compressed net interest yield to 5.1% from 5.3%. Covenant compliance remains intact, reducing immediate financing risk.
TL;DR: Credit metrics remain controlled with low allowance and fair-value accounting; residual financing and securitizations drive leverage considerations.
Allowance for legacy finance receivables declined to $145K with a provision reduction of $0.78M, while receivables at fair value incorporate expected losses in interest accretion. Securitization trust debt rose to $2.813B and residual interest financings total $155.1M; restricted cash of $144.4M provides structural credit enhancement. The company reported compliance with covenants and estimated legal exposure under $3.2M, but ongoing reliance on term securitizations and residual financings merits monitoring from a liquidity and counterparty perspective.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
We were formed in California on March 8, 1991. We specialize in purchasing and servicing retail automobile installment sale contracts (“automobile contracts” or “finance receivables”) originated by licensed motor vehicle dealers located throughout the United States (“dealers”) in the sale of new and used automobiles, light trucks and passenger vans. Through our purchases, we provide indirect financing to dealer customers for borrowers with limited credit histories or past credit problems (“sub-prime customers”). We serve as an alternative source of financing for dealers, allowing sales to customers who otherwise might not be able to obtain financing. In addition to purchasing installment purchase contracts directly from dealers, we have also (i) lent money directly to consumers for loans secured by vehicles, (ii) purchased immaterial amounts of vehicle purchase money loans from non-affiliated lenders, and (iii) acquired installment purchase contracts in four merger and acquisition transactions. In this report, we refer to all of such contracts and loans as "automobile contracts."
Basis of Presentation
Our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, with the instructions to Form 10-Q and with Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include all adjustments that are, in management’s opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature. Results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods.
Finance Receivables Measured at Fair Value
Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the fair value method of accounting for finance receivables acquired on or after that date. For each finance receivable acquired after 2017, we consider the price paid on the purchase date as the fair value for such receivable. We estimate the cash to be received in the future with respect to such receivables, based on our experience with similar receivables acquired in the past. We then compute the internal rate of return that results in the present value of those estimated cash receipts being equal to the purchase date fair value. Thereafter, we recognize interest income on such receivables on a level yield basis using that internal rate of return as the applicable interest rate. Cash received with respect to such receivables is applied first against such interest income, and then to reduce the recorded value of the receivables.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We re-evaluate the fair value of such receivables at the close of each measurement period. If the reevaluation were to yield a value materially different from the recorded value, an adjustment would be required.
Anticipated credit losses are included in our estimation of cash to be received with respect to receivables. In accordance with the fair value accounting standards, credit losses are included in our computation of the appropriate level yield, therefore we do not thereafter make periodic provision for credit losses, as our best estimate of the lifetime aggregate of credit losses is included in that initial computation. Also, because we include anticipated credit losses in our computation of the level yield, the computed level yield is materially lower than the average contractual rate applicable to the receivables. Because our initial recorded value is fixed as the price we pay for the receivable, rather than as the contractual principal balance, we do not record acquisition fees as an amortizing asset related to the receivables, nor do we capitalize costs of acquiring the receivables. Rather we recognize the costs of acquisition as expenses in the period incurred.

Leases
The Company has operating leases for corporate offices, equipment, software and hardware. The Company has entered into operating leases for the majority of its real estate locations, primarily office space. These leases are generally for periods of three to seven years with various renewal options. The depreciable life of leased assets is limited by the expected lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Reclassifications
Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity.
Financial Covenants
Certain of our securitization transactions, our warehouse credit facilities and our residual interest financing contain various financial covenants requiring minimum financial ratios and results. Such covenants include maintaining minimum levels of liquidity and net worth and not exceeding maximum leverage levels. As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all such covenants. In addition, certain of our debt agreements other than our term securitizations contain cross-default provisions. Such cross-default provisions would allow the respective creditors to declare a default if an event of default occurred with respect to other indebtedness of ours, but only if such other event of default were to be accompanied by acceleration of such other indebtedness.
Provision for Contingent Liabilities
We are routinely involved in various legal proceedings resulting from our consumer finance activities and practices, both continuing and discontinued. Our legal counsel has advised us on such matters where, based on information available at the time of this report, there is an indication that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably determined.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740),” which is intended to provide greater transparency in various income tax components that affect the rate reconciliation based on the applicable taxing jurisdictions, as well as the qualitative and quantitative aspects of those components. This new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09; however, at the current time, the Company does not believe this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
(2) Finance Receivables, net
Our portfolio of finance receivables, net consists of small-balance homogeneous contracts comprising a single segment and class that is collectively evaluated for impairment on a portfolio basis according to delinquency status. Our contract purchase guidelines are designed to produce a homogenous portfolio. For key terms such as interest rate, length of contract, monthly payment and amount financed, there is relatively little variation from the average for the portfolio. We report delinquency on a contractual basis. Once a contract becomes greater than 90 days delinquent, we do not recognize additional interest income until the obligor under the contract makes sufficient payments to be less than 90 days delinquent. Any payments received on a contract that is greater than 90 days delinquent are first applied to accrued interest and then to principal reduction.
In January 2018 the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for finance receivables, net acquired after 2017. Finance receivables, net measured at fair value are recorded separately on the Company’s Balance Sheet and are excluded from all tables in this footnote.
The following table presents the components of Finance Receivables, net of allowance for finance credit losses:

We consider an automobile contract delinquent when an obligor fails to make at least 90% of a contractually due payment by the following due date, which date may have been extended within limits specified in the servicing agreements. The period of delinquency is based on the number of days payments are contractually past due, as extended where applicable. Automobile contracts less than 31 days delinquent are not reported as delinquent. In certain circumstances we will grant obligors one-month payment extensions. The only modification of terms is to advance the obligor’s next due date by one month and extend the maturity date of the receivable by one month. In certain limited cases, a two-month extension may be granted. There are no other concessions, such as a reduction in interest rate, forgiveness of principal or of accrued interest. Accordingly, we consider such extensions to be insignificant delays in payments. The following table summarizes the delinquency status of finance receivables as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024:

Allowance for Credit Losses – Finance Receivables
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of finance receivables to present the net amount expected to be collected. Charge offs are deducted from the allowance when management believes that collectability is unlikely.
Management estimates the allowance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. We believe our historical credit loss experience provides the best basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Consequently, we use historical loss experience for older receivables, aggregated into vintage pools based on their calendar quarter of origination, to forecast expected losses for less seasoned quarterly vintage pools.
We measure the weighted average monthly incremental change in cumulative net losses for the vintage pools in the relevant historical period. For the pools in the relevant historical period, we consider each pool’s performance from its inception through the end of the current period. We then apply the results of the historical analysis to less seasoned vintage pools beginning with each vintage pool’s most recent actual cumulative net loss experience and extrapolating from that point based on the historical data. We believe the pattern and magnitude of losses on older vintages allows us to establish a reasonable and supportable forecast of less seasoned vintages.
Our contract purchase guidelines are designed to produce a homogenous portfolio. For key credit characteristics of individual contracts such as obligor credit history, job stability, residence stability and ability to pay, there is relatively little variation from the average for the portfolio. Similarly, for key structural characteristics such as loan-to-value, length of contract, monthly payment and amount financed, there is relatively little variation from the average for the portfolio. Consequently, we do not believe there are significant differences in risk characteristics between various segments of our portfolio.
Our methodology incorporates historical pools that are sufficiently seasoned to capture the magnitude and trends of losses within those vintage pools. Furthermore, the historical period encompasses a substantial volume of receivables over periods that include fluctuations in the competitive landscape, the Company’s rates of growth, size of our managed portfolio and fluctuations in economic growth and unemployment.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In consideration of the depth and breadth of the historical period, and the homogeneity of our portfolio, we generally do not adjust historical loss information for differences in risk characteristics such as credit or structural composition of segments of the portfolio or for changes in environmental conditions such as changes in unemployment rates, collateral values or other factors. Throughout our history we have observed how events such as extreme weather, political unrest, and other qualitative factors have influenced the performance of our portfolio. Consequently, we have considered how such qualitative factors may affect future credit losses and have incorporated our judgement of the effect of those factors into our estimates.

Debt issuance costs of $
All the securitization trust debt was sold in private placement transactions to qualified institutional buyers. The debt was issued through our wholly owned bankruptcy remote subsidiaries and is secured by the assets of such subsidiaries, but not by our other assets.
The terms of the various securitization agreements related to the issuance of the securitization trust debt require that certain delinquency and credit loss criteria be met with respect to the collateral pool and require that we maintain minimum levels of liquidity and net worth and not exceed maximum leverage levels. We followed all such covenants as of June 30, 2025.
We are responsible for the administration
and collection of the contracts. The securitization agreements also require certain funds be held in restricted cash accounts to provide
additional credit enhancement for the Notes or to be applied to make payments on the securitization trust debt. As of June 30, 2025, restricted
cash under the various agreements totaled approximately $
Our wholly owned, bankruptcy remote subsidiaries were formed to facilitate the above asset-backed financing transactions. Similar bankruptcy remote subsidiaries issue the debt outstanding under our warehouse line of credit. Bankruptcy remote refers to a legal structure in which it is expected that the applicable entity would not be included in any bankruptcy filing by its parent or affiliates. All of the assets of these subsidiaries have been pledged as collateral for the related debt. All such transactions, treated as secured financing for accounting and tax purposes, are treated as sales for all other purposes, including legal and bankruptcy purposes. None of the assets of these subsidiaries are available to pay any of our other creditors.

(7) Income Taxes
We file numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns with the United States and with many states. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, or local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2015.
As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had no unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions. We do not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change due to any settlements of audits or expirations of statutes of limitations over the next 12 months.
The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return and combined or stand-alone state franchise tax returns for certain states. We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recognized for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements. A valuation allowance
is recognized to reduce a deferred tax asset if, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or
all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. When making this judgment, both positive and negative evidence is considered, with
the most weight given to evidence that can be objectively verified. The recognition of deferred tax liabilities, however, does not require
a similar more likely than not test for realization. They are recognized with the expectation that they will be settled in future periods
when the related taxable temporary differences reverse. As of June 30, 2025, we have a net deferred tax liabilities of $

(8) Legal Proceedings
Consumer Litigation. We are routinely involved in various legal proceedings resulting from our consumer finance activities and practices, both continuing and discontinued. Consumers can and do initiate lawsuits against us alleging violations of law applicable to collection of receivables, and such lawsuits sometimes allege that resolution as a class action is appropriate. For the most part, we have legal and factual defenses to consumer claims, which we routinely contest or settle (for immaterial amounts) depending on the particular circumstances of each case.
Following our filing of a complaint for a deficiency judgment in the Superior Court at Waterbury, Connecticut, the defendant filed a cross-claim on October 16, 2019, alleging that our deficiency notices were not compliant with Connecticut law, and seeking relief on behalf of a class of Connecticut obligors whose vehicles we had repossessed. The complaint seeks primarily damages, injunctive relief, waiver of contract deficiencies, and attorney fees and interest. The defendant’s contract provided for resolution of disputes exclusively by arbitration, and exclusively on an individual basis, not a class basis. Nevertheless, in August 2021, the court denied our motion to compel arbitration, without opinion. In April 2024, a motion for certification of a class was filed. Prior to the motion being ruled upon, summary judgment was granted in our favor, disposing of the claims against CPS. An appeal of the summary judgment ruling was filed on October 25, 2024, and we filed a cross appeal of the denial of the motion to compel arbitration on October 31, 2024.

we face, including those described or identified above, as of June 30, 2025, does not exceed $
Accordingly, we believe that the ultimate resolution of such legal proceedings and contingencies should not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition. We note, however, that in light of the uncertainties inherent in contested proceedings there can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not be material to our operating results for a particular period, depending on, among other factors, the size of the loss or liability imposed and the level of our income for that period.

(9) Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy.
ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The three levels are defined as follows: level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
Effective January 2018 we have elected to use the fair value method to value our portfolio of finance receivables acquired in January 2018 and thereafter.
Our valuation policies and procedures have been developed by our Accounting department in conjunction with our Risk department and with consultation with outside valuation experts. Our policies and procedures have been approved by our Chief Executive and our Board of Directors and include methodologies for valuation, internal reporting, calibration and back testing. Our periodic review of valuations includes an analysis of changes in fair value measurements and documentation of the reasons for such changes. There is little available third-party information such as broker quotes or pricing services available to assist us in our valuation process.
Our level 3, unobservable inputs reflect our own assumptions about the factors that market participants use in pricing similar receivables and are based on the best information available in the circumstances. They include such inputs as estimates for the magnitude and timing of net charge-offs and the rate of amortization of the portfolio of finance receivable. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation would have a significant effect on our fair value measurement.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company evaluated the appropriate fair value and future earnings rate of existing receivables compared to recently acquired receivables and our assessment of potential additional future net losses on the portfolio of finance receivables carried at fair value and did not record a mark down to that portfolio.

(10) Business Segment Information
The company has one reportable segment. This determination is made by our Chief Executive Officer, who acts as the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”), in assessing performance and making decisions regarding resource allocation. The CODM assesses performance by reviewing the consolidated financial statements, which reflect the financial results of our one reportable operating segment.
Within the Company’s one reportable segment, it provides indirect vehicle financing to motor vehicle dealer’s less credit- worthy borrowers. The Company’s revenue primarily consists of interest income and is derived from the interest recorded on contracts the Company has purchased, The revenue generated from any individual borrower is deemed to be immaterial.
(11) Subsequent Events
On July 28, 2025, we executed our third securitization of 2025. In the transaction, qualified institutional buyers purchased $418.33 million of asset-backed notes secured by $433.50 million in automobile receivables originated by CPS. The sold notes, issued by CPS Auto Receivables Trust 2025-C, consist of five classes. Ratings of the notes were provided by Standard & Poor’s and DBRS Morningstar, and were based on the structure of the transaction, the historical performance of similar receivables and CPS’s experience as a servicer. The weighted average yield on the notes is approximately 5.43%.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
We are a specialty finance company. Our business is to purchase and service retail automobile contracts originated primarily by franchised automobile dealers and, to a lesser extent, by select independent dealers in the United States in the sale of new and used automobiles, light trucks and passenger vans. Through our automobile contract purchases, we provide indirect financing to the customers of dealers who have limited credit histories or past credit problems, who we refer to as sub-prime customers. We serve as an alternative source of financing for dealers, facilitating sales to customers who otherwise might not be able to obtain financing from traditional sources, such as commercial banks, credit unions and the captive finance companies affiliated with major automobile manufacturers. In addition to purchasing installment purchase contracts directly from dealers, we have also (i) originated vehicle purchase money loans by lending directly to consumers, (ii) acquired installment purchase contracts in four merger and acquisition transactions, and (iii) purchased immaterial amounts of vehicle purchase money loans from non-affiliated lenders. In this report, we refer to all of such contracts and loans as "automobile contracts."
We were incorporated and began our operations in March 1991. From inception through June 30, 2025, we have originated a total of approximately $23.9 billion of automobile contracts, primarily by purchasing retail installment sales contracts from dealers, and to a lesser degree, by originating loans secured by automobiles directly with consumers. In addition, we acquired a total of approximately $822.3 million of automobile contracts in mergers and acquisitions in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2011. Recent contract purchase volumes and managed portfolio levels are shown in the table below:
| Contract Purchases and Outstanding Managed Portfolio | ||||||||
| $ in thousands | ||||||||
| Period | Contracts Purchased in Period | Managed Portfolio at Period End | ||||||
| 2019 | 1,002,782 | 2,416,042 | ||||||
| 2020 | 742,584 | 2,174,972 | ||||||
| 2021 | 1,146,321 | 2,249,069 | ||||||
| 2022 | 1,854,385 | 3,001,308 | ||||||
| 2023 | 1,357,752 | 3,194,623 | ||||||
| 2024 | 1,681,941 | 3,665,725 | ||||||
| Six months ended June 30, 2025 | 884,236 | 3,854,825 | ||||||
In May 2021 we began purchasing some contracts for immediate sale to a third-party to whom we refer applications that don’t meet our lending criteria. We service all such contracts on behalf of the third-party. We earn fees for originating the receivable and also servicing fees on active accounts in the third-party portfolio. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we originated $8.3 million under this third-party program. As of June 30, 2025, our managed portfolio includes $146.4 million of such third-party receivables.
Our principal executive offices are in Las Vegas, Nevada. Most of our operational and administrative functions take place in Irvine, California. Credit and underwriting functions are performed primarily in that California branch with certain of these functions also performed in our Florida, Nevada, and Virginia branches. We service our automobile contracts from our California, Nevada, Virginia, Florida and Illinois branches.
The programs we offer to dealers and consumers are intended to serve a wide range of sub-prime customers, primarily through franchised new car dealers. We originate automobile contracts with the intention of financing them on a long-term basis through securitizations. Securitizations are transactions in which we sell a specified pool of contracts to a special purpose subsidiary of ours, which in turn issues asset-backed securities to fund the purchase of the pool of contracts from us.
| 31 |
Securitization and Warehouse Credit Facilities
Throughout the period for which information is presented in this report, we have purchased automobile contracts with the intention of financing them on a long-term basis through securitizations, and on an interim basis through warehouse credit facilities. All such financings have involved identification of specific automobile contracts, sale of those automobile contracts (and associated rights) to one of our special-purpose subsidiaries, and issuance of asset-backed securities to be purchased by institutional investors. Depending on the structure, these transactions may be accounted for under generally accepted accounting principles as sales of the automobile contracts or as secured financings. All of our active securitizations are structured as secured financings.
When structured to be treated as a secured financing for accounting purposes, the subsidiary is consolidated with us. Accordingly, the sold automobile contracts and the related debt appear as assets and liabilities, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet. We then periodically (i) recognize interest and fee income on the contracts, and (ii) recognize interest expense on the securities issued in the transaction. For automobile contracts acquired after 2017 we take account of estimated credit losses in our computation of a level yield used to determine recognition of interest on the contracts. For contracts acquired before 2018, we adopted CECL on January 1, 2020, and we may, as circumstances warrant, record or reverse expense provisions for credit losses.
Since 1994 we have conducted 105 term securitizations of automobile contracts that we originated. As of June 30, 2025, 17 of those securitizations are active and all are structured as secured financings. We generally conduct our securitizations on a quarterly basis, near the beginning of each calendar quarter, resulting in four securitizations per calendar year.
Our recent history of term securitizations is summarized in the table below:
| Recent Asset-Backed Term Securitizations | ||||||||
| $ in thousands | ||||||||
| Period | Number of Term Securitizations | Receivables Pledged in Term Securitizations | ||||||
| 2019 | 4 | 1,014,124 | ||||||
| 2020 | 3 | 741,867 | ||||||
| 2021 | 4 | 1,145,002 | ||||||
| 2022 | 4 | 1,537,383 | ||||||
| 2023 | 4 | 1,352,114 | ||||||
| 2024 | 4 | 1,533,854 | ||||||
| Six months ended June 30, 2025 | 2 | 901,826 | ||||||
Generally, prior to a securitization transaction we fund our automobile contract purchases primarily with proceeds from warehouse credit facilities. We currently have short-term funding capacity of $535 million over two credit facilities. The first credit facility was established in May 2012 with Citibank, N.A. This facility was most recently renewed in July 2024, extending the revolving period to July 2026, with an optional amortization period through July 2027. In addition, a subordinated lender was added to the credit facility in November 2024, effectively increasing our advance rate to a maximum of 95% for eligible receivables across the facility. The capacity was then increased from $200 million at the most recent renewal date to $335 million in December 2024.
In November 2015, we entered into another $100 million facility with Ares Agent Services, L.P.. In June 2022, we increased the capacity of that credit agreement from $100 million to $200 million. This facility was most recently renewed in March 2024, extending the revolving period to March 2026, followed by an amortization period to March 2028.
| 32 |
In a securitization and in our warehouse credit facilities, we are required to make certain representations and warranties, which are generally similar to the representations and warranties made by dealers in connection with our purchase of the automobile contracts. If we breach any of our representations or warranties, we may be required to repurchase the automobile contract at a price equal to the principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest. We may then be entitled under the terms of our dealer agreement to require the selling dealer to repurchase the contract at a price equal to our purchase price, less any principal payments made by the customer. Subject to any recourse against dealers, we will bear the risk of loss on repossession and resale of vehicles under automobile contracts that we repurchase.
In a securitization, the related special purpose subsidiary may be unable to release excess cash to us if the credit performance of the securitized automobile contracts falls short of pre-determined standards. Such releases represent a material portion of the cash that we use to fund our operations. An unexpected deterioration in the performance of securitized automobile contracts could therefore have a material adverse effect on both our liquidity and results of operations.
In addition, from time to time, we have also completed financings of our residual interests in other securitizations that we and our affiliates previously sponsored. On March 20, 2025, we completed a $65 million securitization of residual interests from previously issued securitizations. In the transaction, a qualified institutional buyer purchased $65.0 million of asset-backed notes secured by an 80% interest in a CPS affiliate that owns the residual interests in five CPS securitizations issued from October 2023 through September 2024. The sold notes (“2025-1 Notes”), issued by CPS Auto Securitization Trust 2025-1, consist of a single class with a coupon of 11.00%.
Receivables we originate and service for third parties are not pledged to our warehouse facilities or included in our securitizations.
Financial Covenants
Certain of our securitization transactions and our warehouse credit facilities contain various financial covenants requiring certain minimum financial ratios and results. Such covenants include maintaining minimum levels of liquidity and net worth and not exceeding maximum leverage levels. In addition, certain of our debt agreements other than our term securitizations contain cross-default provisions. Such cross-default provisions would allow the respective creditors to declare a default if an event of default occurred with respect to other indebtedness of ours, but only if such other event of default were to be accompanied by acceleration of such other indebtedness. As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Operating Results for the three months ended June 30, 2025, with the three months ended June30, 2024
Revenues. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, our revenues were $109.8 million, an increase of $13.9 million, or 14.5% from the prior year revenue of $95.9 million. The primary reason for the increase in revenues is the increase in interest income resulting from the increase in the average outstanding balance of finance receivables measured at fair value. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025, include a $3.0 million mark up to the recorded value of the finance receivables measured at fair value. The marks are estimates based on our evaluation of the appropriate fair value and future earnings rate of existing receivables compared to recently acquired receivables and increases or decreases in our estimates of future net losses. In the current period, our re-evaluation of the fair values of these receivables resulted in a mark up for certain receivables and a mark down to the fair values of selected receivables. The net effect of the marks to the fair value resulted in a net mark up of $3.0 million. There was a $5.5 million mark up to the fair value portfolio in the prior year period.
| 33 |
Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased $17.0 million, or 19.2%, to $105.4 million from $88.4 million in the prior year. The primary reason for the increase in interest income is the 18.0% increase in the average balance of our loan portfolio over the prior year period. The interest yield on our total loan portfolio increased from 11.3% in the prior year period to 11.4% in the current year period. The interest yield on receivables measured at fair value is reduced to take account of expected losses and is therefore less than the yield on other finance receivables. The table below shows the average balance and interest yield of our loan portfolio for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| (Dollars in thousands) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Other income was $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2.0 million for the comparable period in 2024. This 30.4% decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in origination and servicing fees we earned from third party receivables. These fees were $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1.7 million in the prior year period.
Expenses. Our operating expenses consist largely of interest expense, employee costs, sales and general and administrative expenses. Interest expense is significantly affected by the volume of automobile contracts we purchased during the trailing 12-month period and the use of our warehouse facilities and asset-backed securitizations to finance those contracts. Employee costs and general and administrative expenses are incurred as applications and automobile contracts are received, processed and serviced. Factors that affect profit margins and net income include changes in the automobile and automobile finance market environments, and macroeconomic factors such as interest rates and changes in the unemployment level.
Employee costs include base salaries, commissions and bonuses paid to employees, and certain expenses related to the accounting treatment of outstanding stock options and are one of our most significant operating expenses. These costs (other than those relating to stock options) generally fluctuate with the level of applications and automobile contracts purchased and serviced.
Other operating expenses consist largely of facilities expenses, telephone and other communication services, credit services, computer services, sales and advertising expenses, and depreciation and amortization.
Total operating expenses were $102.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $89.2 million for the prior period, an increase of $13.6 million, or 15.3%. The increase is primarily due to increases in interest expense.
| 34 |
Employee costs were $24.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $23.7 million for the same quarter in the prior year, an increase of $637,000, or 2.7%. The table below summarizes our employees by category as well as contract purchases and units in our managed portfolio as of, and for the three-month periods ended, June 30, 2025, and 2024:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||

| Number of Servicing staff | 552 | 532 | ||||||

| Total number of employees | 932 | 925 | ||||||
General and administrative expenses include costs associated with purchasing and servicing our portfolio of finance receivables, including expenses for facilities, credit services, and telecommunications. General and administrative expenses was $13.2 million, a decrease of $77,000 from $13.3 million in the prior year period.
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was $58.7 million and represented 57.1% of total operating expenses, compared to $46.7 million in the previous year, when it was 52.4% of total operating expenses. The $12.0 million increase in interest expense compared to the prior year period was largely due to increases in the average balance of our securitization trust debt, warehouse credit line debt and residual interest financing debt. To a lesser extent, the increase is also due to the increase in the interest rate on our securitization trust debt.
Interest on securitization trust debt increased by $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the prior period. The average balance of securitization trust debt increased to $2,811.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2,555.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The annualized average rate on our securitization trust debt was 6.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 5.9% in the prior year period. For each quarterly securitization transaction, the blended cost of funds is ultimately the result of many factors including the market interest rates for benchmark swaps of various maturities against which our bonds are priced and the margin over those benchmarks that investors are willing to accept, which in turn, is influenced by investor demand for our bonds at the time of the securitization. These and other factors have resulted in fluctuations in our securitization trust debt interest costs. The blended interest rates of our recent securitizations are summarized in the table below:
| 35 |
| Blended Cost of Funds on Recent Asset-Backed Term Securitizations | ||
| Period | Blended Cost of Funds | |
| January 2022 | 2.54% | |

Interest expense on warehouse credit line debt increased by $2.5 million to $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $5.7 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the higher utilization of our credit lines during the quarter compared to last year. The average balance of our warehouse debt was $353.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $215.4 million for the same period in 2024. The annualized average rate on our credit line debt was 9.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 10.6% in the prior year period.
Interest expense on subordinated renewable notes was $684,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The average balance of the outstanding subordinated debt was $28.0 million for the three months June 30, 2025, compared to $22.3 million for the prior year period. The average yield of subordinated notes is 9.7% for both current and in the prior period.
In June 2021, March 2024, and again on June 30, 2025, we completed a securitization of residual interests from other previously issued securitizations in the amount of $50 million, $50 million, and $65 million, respectively. Interest expense for these residual interest financings was $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2.5 million for the same period in 2024.

Our evaluation of the allowance for credit losses indicated that the reserves against future losses are adequate as of June 30, 2025. The allowance applies only to our finance receivables originated through December 2017, which we refer to as our legacy portfolio. Finance receivables that we have originated since January 2018 are accounted for at fair value. Under the fair value method of accounting, we recognize interest income net of expected credit losses. Thus, no provision for credit loss expense is recorded for finance receivables measured at fair value.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a reduction to provision for credit losses on finance receivables in the amount of $781,000. The reserve decrease was primarily due to better than expected recovery rates and a decrease in lifetime expected credit losses resulting from improved credit performance as our previous estimates for future losses exceeded actual incurred losses. This compares to $2.0 million in reductions to provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Sales expenses consist primarily of commission-based compensation paid to our employee sales representatives. Our sales representatives earn a salary plus commissions based on volume of contract purchases. Sales expense decreased to $5.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $5.9 million for the same quarter in 2024. We purchased $433.0 million of new contracts during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $431.9 million in the prior year period.
Occupancy expenses was $1.4 million for the three months ending June 30, 2025, which is up from $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2024.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $249,000 compared to $221,000 in the previous year.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded income tax expense of $2.2 million, representing a 31% effective tax rate. In the prior period, our income tax expense was $2.0 million, representing a 30% effective tax rate.
Comparison of Operating Results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 with the six months ended June 30, 2024
Revenues. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our revenues were $216.6 million, an increase of $29.0 million, or 15.5%, from the prior year revenue of $187.6 million. The primary reason for the increase in revenues is the increase in interest income resulting from the increase in the average outstanding balance of finance receivables measured at fair value. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 include a $6.5 million mark up to the recorded value of the finance receivables measured at fair value. The marks are estimates based on our evaluation of the appropriate fair value and future earnings rate of existing receivables compared to recently acquired receivables and increases or decreases in our estimates of future net losses. In the current period, our re-evaluation of the fair values of these receivables resulted in a mark up for certain receivables and a mark down to the fair values of selected receivables. The net effect of the marks to the fair value resulted in a net mark up of $6.5 million.. There was a $10.5 million mark up to the fair value portfolio in the prior year period.
Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $34.6 million, or 20.1%, to $207.3 million from $172.7 million in the prior year. The primary reason for the increase in interest income is the 18.6% increase in the average balance of our loan portfolio over the prior year period. The interest yield on our total loan portfolio increased from 11.3% in the prior year period to 11.4% in the current year period. The interest yield on receivables measured at fair value is reduced to take account of expected losses and is therefore less than the yield on other finance receivables. The table below shows the average balance and interest yield of our loan portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Other income was $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $4.5 million for the comparable period in 2024. This 36.4% decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in origination and servicing fees we earned from third party receivables. These fees were $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $3.8 million in the prior year period.
Expenses. Our operating expenses consist largely of interest expense, provision for credit losses, employee costs, sales and general and administrative expenses. Provision for credit losses is affected by the balance and credit performance of our portfolio of finance receivables (other than our portfolio of finance receivables measured at fair value, as to which expected credit losses have the effect of reducing the internal rate of return or the recorded value applicable to such receivables). Interest expense is significantly affected by the volume of automobile contracts we purchased during the trailing 12-month period and the use of our warehouse facilities and asset-backed securitizations to finance those contracts. Employee costs and general and administrative expenses are incurred as applications and automobile contracts are received, processed and serviced. Factors that affect profit margins and net income include changes in the automobile and automobile finance market environments, and macroeconomic factors such as interest rates and changes in the unemployment level.
Employee costs include base salaries, commissions and bonuses paid to employees, and certain expenses related to the accounting treatment of outstanding stock options and are one of our most significant operating expenses. These costs (other than those relating to stock options) generally fluctuate with the level of applications and automobile contracts purchased and serviced.
Other operating expenses consist largely of facilities expenses, telephone and other communication services, credit services, computer services, sales and advertising expenses, and depreciation and amortization.
Total operating expenses were $202.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $174.4 million for the prior period, an increase of $28.5 million, or 16.3%. The increase is primarily due to increases in interest expense and a decrease in the reduction to provision for credit losses. To a lesser extent, increases to employee costs and sales expenses also contributed to the increase in operating expenses during the period.
Employee costs were $49.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $48.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The table below summarizes our employees by category as well as contract purchases and units in our managed portfolio as of, and for the six-month periods ended, June 30, 2025 and 2024:

General and administrative expenses include costs associated with purchasing and servicing our portfolio of finance receivables, including expenses for facilities, credit services, and telecommunications. General and administrative expenses were $26.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $287,000 from $27.0 million in the prior year period.
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $113.6 million, compared to $88.7 million in the previous year, an increase of $24.9 million.
Interest on securitization trust debt increased by $16.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior period. The average balance of securitization trust debt increased to $2,836.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $2,471.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The annualized average rate on our securitization trust debt was 6.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 6.0% in the prior year period. The blended interest rates on new term securitizations have been increasing since 2022. For each quarterly securitization transaction, the blended cost of funds is ultimately the result of many factors including the market interest rates for benchmark swaps of various maturities against which our bonds are priced and the margin over those benchmarks that investors are willing to accept, which in turn, is influenced by investor demand for our bonds at the time of the securitization. These and other factors have resulted in fluctuations in our securitization trust debt interest costs. The blended interest rates of our recent securitizations are summarized in the table below:
| Blended Cost of Funds on Recent Asset-Backed Term Securitizations | ||
| Period | Blended Cost of Funds | |
| January 2022 | 2.54% | |

Interest expense on warehouse credit line debt increased by $4.7 million to $14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $10.0 million in the prior year period. The increase was due to higher rates on the debt during the six month period compared to last year. The average balance of our warehouse debt was $314.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $190.1 million for the same period in 2024. The annualized average rate on our credit line debt was 9.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 10.5% in the prior year period.
Interest expense on subordinated renewable notes was $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The average balance of the outstanding subordinated debt increased by $5.9 million to $27.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $21.6 million for the prior year. The average yield of subordinated notes was 9.7% in the current and prior period.
In June 2021, we completed a residual interest financing of our residual interests from previously issued securitizations in the amount of $50.0 million. In March 2024, we completed a new residual interest financing of our residual interests from previously issued securitizations in the amount of $50.0 million. Interest expense on the residual interest financing was $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $3.7 million for the same period in 2024.

We purchased $884.2 million of new contracts during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $778.2 million in the prior year period.
Occupancy expenses was $2.8 million for the six months ending June 30, 2025, which is down from $3.0 million for the same period in 2024.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $498,000 compared to $436,000 in the previous year.

Credit Experience
Our financial results are dependent on the performance of the automobile contracts in which we retain an ownership interest. Broad economic factors such as recession and significant changes in unemployment levels influence the credit performance of our portfolio, as does the weighted average age of the receivables at any given time. The tables below document the delinquency, repossession and net credit loss experience of all such automobile contracts that we originated or own an interest in as of the respective dates shown.

(1) All amounts and percentages are based on the amount remaining to be repaid on each automobile contract. The information in the table represents the gross principal amount of all automobile contracts we have purchased, including automobile contracts subsequently sold in securitization transactions that we continue to service. The table does not include certain contracts we have serviced for third parties on which we earn servicing fees only and have no credit risk.
(2) We consider an automobile contract delinquent when an obligor fails to make at least 90% of a contractually due payment by the following due date, which date may have been extended within limits specified in the Servicing Agreements. The period of delinquency is based on the number of days payments are contractually past due. Automobile contracts less than 31 days delinquent are not included. The delinquency aging categories shown in the tables reflect the effect of extensions.
(3) Amount in repossession represents financed vehicles that have been repossessed but not yet liquidated.
(4) Amount in repossession and accounts past due more than 90 days are on non-accrual.

In certain circumstances we will grant obligors one-month payment extensions to assist them with temporary cash flow problems. In general, we are bound by our securitization agreements to refrain from agreeing to more than two such extensions in any 12-month period and to more than eight over the life of the contract. The only modification of terms is to advance the obligor’s next due date by one month and extend the maturity date of the receivable by one month. In some cases, a two-month extension may be granted. There are no other concessions such as a reduction in interest rate, forgiveness of principal or of accrued interest.
The basic question in deciding to grant an extension is whether or not we will (a) be delaying the inevitable repossession and liquidation or (b) risk losing the vehicle as a result of not being able to locate the obligor and vehicle. In both of those situations, the loss would likely be higher than if the vehicle had been repossessed without the extension. The benefits of granting an extension include minimizing current losses and delinquencies, minimizing lifetime losses, getting the obligor’s account current (or close to it) and building goodwill so that the obligor might prioritize us over other creditors on future payments. Our servicing staff are trained to identify when a past due obligor is facing a temporary problem that may be resolved with an extension. In some cases, the extension will be granted in conjunction with our receiving all or a portion of a past due payment from the obligor, thereby indicating an additional monetary and psychological commitment to the contract on the obligor’s part.
The credit assessment for granting an extension is initially made by our collector, who bases the recommendation on the collector’s discussions with the obligor. In such assessments the collector will consider, among other things, the following factors: (1) the reason the obligor has fallen behind in payment; (2) whether or not the reason for the delinquency is temporary, and if it is, have conditions changed such that the obligor can begin making regular monthly payments again after the extension; (3) the obligor's past payment history, including past extensions if applicable; (4) the obligor’s willingness to communicate and cooperate on resolving the delinquency; and (5) a numeric score from our internal risk assessment system that indicating the likelihood that the extension will prove beneficial. If the collector believes the obligor is a good candidate for an extension, an approval is obtained from a supervisor, who will review the same factors stated above prior to offering the extension to the obligor. After receiving an extension, an account remains subject to our normal policies and procedures for interest accrual, reporting delinquency and recognizing charge-offs.

We believe that a prudent extension program is an integral component to mitigating losses in our portfolio of sub-prime automobile receivables. The table below summarizes the status, as of June 30, 2025, for accounts that received extensions from 2011 through 2024:

We view these results as a confirmation of the effectiveness of our extension program. For example, of the accounts granted extensions in 2019, 57.8% were either paid in full or active and performing as of June 30, 2025. Each of these successful accounts represent continued payments of interest and principal (including payment in full in many cases), where without the extension we likely would have incurred a substantial loss and no interest revenue after the extension.
| 45 |
For the extension accounts that ultimately charge off, we consider any that charged off more than six months after the extension to be at least partially successful. For example, of the accounts granted extensions in 2018 that subsequently charged off, such charge offs occurred, on average, 20 months after the extension, indicating that even in the cases of an ultimate loss, the obligor serviced the account with additional payments of principal and interest.

Note: Table excludes portfolios originated and owned by third parties
Since 2019, we have been able to reduce extensions by working with our servicing staff to be more selective in granting extensions including, where appropriate, to exhaust all possibilities of payment by the customer before granting an extension. However, as delinquency rates have risen, so has the average number of extensions granted.
| 46 |
Non-Accrual Receivables
It is not uncommon for our obligors to fall behind in their payments. However, with the diligent efforts of our Servicing staff and systems for managing our collection efforts, we regularly work with our customers to resolve delinquencies. Our staff are trained in employing a counseling approach to assist our customers with their cash flow management skills and help them to prioritize their payment obligations in order to avoid losing their vehicle to repossession. Through our experience, we have learned that once a customer becomes greater than 90 days past due, it is not likely that the delinquency will be resolved and will ultimately result in a charge-off. As a result, we do not recognize any interest income for contracts that are greater than 90 days past due.
If a contract exceeds the 90 days past due threshold at the end of one period, and then makes the necessary payments such that it becomes less than or equal to 90 days delinquent at the end of a subsequent period, it would be restored to full accrual status for our financial reporting purposes. At the time a contract is restored to full accrual in this manner, there can be no assurance that full repayment of interest and principal will ultimately be made. However, we monitor each obligor’s payment performance and are aware of the severity of his delinquency at any time. The fact that the delinquency has been reduced below the 90-day threshold is a positive indicator. Should the contract again exceed the 90-day delinquency level at the end of any reporting period, it would again be reflected as a non-accrual account.
Our policy for placing a contract on non-accrual status is independent of our policy to grant an extension. In practice, it would be an uncommon circumstance where an extension was granted and the account remained in a non-accrual status, since the goal of the extension is to bring the contract current (or nearly current).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our business requires substantial cash to support our purchases of automobile contracts and other operating activities. Our primary sources of cash have been cash flows from the proceeds from term securitization transactions and other sales of automobile contracts, amounts borrowed under various revolving credit facilities (also sometimes known as warehouse credit facilities), customer payments of principal and interest on finance receivables, fees for origination of automobile contracts, and releases of cash from securitization transactions and their related spread accounts. Our primary uses of cash have been the purchases of automobile contracts, repayment of amounts borrowed under lines of credit, securitization transactions and otherwise, operating expenses such as employee, interest, occupancy expenses and other general and administrative expenses, the establishment of spread accounts and initial overcollateralization, if any, the increase of credit enhancement to required levels in securitization transactions, and income taxes. There can be no assurance that internally generated cash will be sufficient to meet our cash demands. The sufficiency of internally generated cash will depend on the performance of securitized pools (which determines the level of releases from those pools and their related spread accounts), the rate of expansion or contraction in our managed portfolio, and the terms upon which we are able to acquire and borrow against automobile contracts.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 was $128.3 million, a increase of $32.3 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 of $96.0 million. Net cash from operating activities is generally provided by net income from operations adjusted for significant non-cash items such as our provision for credit losses and marks to finance receivables measured at fair value.
Net cash used in investing activities was $360.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $317.8 million in the prior year period. Net cash used in investing activities generally relates to new purchases of automobile contracts net of principal payments and other proceeds received during the period. Purchases of finance receivables excluding acquisition fees were $882.9 million and $753.8 million during the first six months of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
| 47 |
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $255.3 million compared to $363.0 million in the prior year period. Cash provided by financing activities is primarily related to the issuance of securitization trust debt, reduced by the amount of repayment of securitization trust debt and net proceeds or repayments on our warehouse lines of credit and other debt. In the first six months of 2025, we issued $862.4 million in new securitization trust debt compared to $1,307.1 million for the same period in 2024. We repaid $642.7 million in securitization trust debt in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to repayments of securitization trust debt of $563.7 million in the prior year period. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had net repayments on warehouse lines of credit of $16.6 million, compared to net advances from warehouse lines of credit of $150.7 million in the prior year’s period.
We purchase automobile contracts from dealers for a cash price approximately equal to their principal amount, adjusted for an acquisition fee which may either increase or decrease the automobile contract purchase price. Those automobile contracts generate cash flow, however, over a period of years. We have been dependent on warehouse credit facilities to purchase automobile contracts and our securitization transactions for long term financing of our contracts. In addition, we have accessed other sources, such as residual financings and subordinated debt in order to finance our continuing operations.
The acquisition of automobile contracts for subsequent financing in securitization transactions, and the need to fund spread accounts and initial overcollateralization, if any, and increase credit enhancement levels when those transactions take place, results in a continuing need for capital. The amount of capital required is most heavily dependent on the rate of our automobile contract purchases, the required level of initial credit enhancement in securitizations, and the extent to which the previously established trusts and their related spread accounts either release cash to us or capture cash from collections on securitized automobile contracts. Of those, the factor most subject to our control is the rate at which we purchase automobile contracts.
We are and may in the future be limited in our ability to purchase automobile contracts due to limits on our capital. As of June 30, 2025, we had unrestricted cash of $15.8 million and $136.4 million aggregate available borrowings under our two warehouse credit facilities (assuming the availability of sufficient eligible collateral). As of June 30, 2025, we had approximately $18.6 million of such eligible collateral. Our plans to manage our liquidity include maintaining our rate of automobile contract purchases at a level that matches our available capital, and, as appropriate, minimizing our operating costs. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, we completed two securitizations aggregating $862.4 million of notes sold.
Our liquidity will also be affected by releases of cash from the trusts established with our securitizations. While the specific terms and mechanics of each spread account vary among transactions, our securitization agreements generally provide that we will receive excess cash flows, if any, only if the amount of credit enhancement has reached specified levels and the net losses related to the automobile contracts in the pool are below certain predetermined levels. In the event delinquencies or net losses on the automobile contracts exceed such levels, the terms of the securitization may require increased credit enhancement to be accumulated for the particular pool. There can be no assurance that collections from the related trusts will continue to generate sufficient cash.
Our warehouse credit facilities contain various financial covenants requiring certain minimum financial ratios and results. Such covenants include maintaining minimum levels of liquidity and net worth and not exceeding maximum leverage levels. In addition, certain of our debt agreements other than our term securitizations contain cross-default provisions. Such cross-default provisions would allow the respective creditors to declare a default if an event of default occurred with respect to other indebtedness of ours, but only if such other event of default were to be accompanied by acceleration of such other indebtedness. As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants.
| 48 |
We have and will continue to have a substantial amount of indebtedness. At June 30, 2025, we had approximately $3,392.8 million of debt outstanding. Such debt consisted primarily of $2,813.2 million of securitization trust debt and $395.6 million of debt from warehouse lines of credit. Our securitization trust debt has increased by $218.9 million while our warehouse lines of credit debt has decreased by $15.3 million since December 31, 2024 (each net of deferred financing costs). Since 2005, we have offered renewable subordinated notes to the public on a continuous basis, and such notes have maturities that range from six months to 10 years. We had $28.8 million and $26.5 million in subordinated renewable notes outstanding at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. In June 2021, March 2024, and again on March 20, 2025, we completed a securitization of residual interests from other previously issued securitizations in the amount of $50 million, $50 million, and $65 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, all $155.1 million of the residual interest debt remains outstanding.
Although we believe we are able to service and repay our debt, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so. If our plans for future operations do not generate sufficient cash flows and earnings, our ability to make required payments on our debt would be impaired. If we fail to pay our indebtedness when due, it could have a material adverse effect on us and may require us to issue additional debt or equity securities.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain a system of internal controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of our published financial statements and other disclosures included in this report. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of such disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer (Charles E. Bradley, Jr.) and the principal financial officer (Denesh Bharwani) concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, material information relating to us that is required to be included in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The information provided under the caption “Legal Proceedings,” Note 8 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part I of this report, is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We remind the reader that risk factors are set forth in Item 1A of our report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2025. Where we are aware of material changes to such risk factors as previously disclosed, we set forth below an updated discussion of such risks. The reader should note that the other risks identified in our report on Form 10-K remain applicable.
We have substantial indebtedness.
We have and will continue to have a substantial amount of indebtedness. At June 30, 2025, we had approximately $3,392.8 million of debt outstanding. Such debt consisted primarily of $2,813.2 million of securitization trust debt and $395.6 million of debt from warehouse lines of credit. Our securitization trust debt has increased by $218.9 million while our warehouse lines of credit debt has decreased by $15.3 million since December 31, 2024 (each net of deferred financing costs). Since 2005, we have offered renewable subordinated notes to the public on a continuous basis, and such notes have maturities that range from six months to 10 years. We had $28.8 million and $26.5 million in subordinated renewable notes outstanding at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. In June 2021, March 2024, and again on March 20, 2025, we completed a securitization of residual interests from other previously issued securitizations in the amount of $50 million, $50 million, and $65 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, all $155.1 million of the residual interest debt remains outstanding.
Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition by, among other things:
| · | increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions. | |
| · | requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the amounts available for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. | |
| · | limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate. | |
| · | placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and | |
| · | limiting our ability to borrow additional funds. |
Although we believe we are able to service and repay such debt, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so. If we do not generate sufficient operating profits, our ability to make the required payments on our debt would be impaired. Failure to pay our indebtedness when due could have a material adverse effect.
