Consumer Portfolio Services announced that for the three months ended March 31, 2003 total revenues increased approximately $9.4 million, or 72 percent, to $22.5 million, compared to $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Pretax income for the first quarter of 2003 was $2.4 million, compared to a pretax loss of ($6.8 million) for the comparable 2002 period. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was $6.3 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to a net loss before extraordinary item of ($981,000), or ($0.05) per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. Diluted shares outstanding were 21.9 million and 19.3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.


"The first quarter results continue to evidence our solid operating performance and the strength of our portfolio. The 2003-A securitization that we completed this past quarter continued our trend of successful execution in the asset backed market," said Charles E. Bradley, president and chief executive officer of Consumer Portfolio Services. "As previously stated, our strategy is to grow our portfolio cautiously, as well as to look for selective acquisition opportunities that will complement our business strategy and supplement our existing portfolio. The recently announced acquisition of TFC Enterprises fits with this strategy, and we look forward to completing the transaction later this month."
