The rating actions follow an annual review of the transactions and are based on the following analytical considerations:

-- Portfolio performance, in terms of delinquencies, defaults and losses.
-- Portfolio default rate (PD), loss given default (LGD) and expected loss assumptions on the remaining receivables.
-- Current available credit enhancement to the notes to cover the expected losses at their respective rating levels.

On 23 May 2019, DBRS transferred the ongoing coverage of the rating assigned to the Issuers listed above to DBRS Ratings GmbH from DBRS Ratings Limited. The lead analyst responsibilities for these transactions have been transferred to Alfonso Candelas.

Both DBRS Ratings Limited and DBRS Ratings GmbH are registered with the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 on Credit Rating Agencies, as amended, and are registered Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO) affiliates in the United States and Designated Rating Organization (DRO) affiliates in Canada.

The reduction in credit enhancement available to three classes of Notes is a result of the restructuring of BBVA RMBS 5, 9, 10 and 11 FTA in 2015.

BBVA acts as the account bank for the eight transactions. Based on the account bank reference rating of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. at A (high), which is one notch below the DBRS public Long-Term Critical Obligations Rating (COR) of AA (low), the downgrade provisions outlined in the transaction documents, and other mitigating factors inherent in the transaction structure, DBRS considers the risk arising from the exposure to the account bank to be consistent with the ratings assigned to the Notes, as described in DBRS's "Legal Criteria for European Structured Finance Transactions" methodology. However, the downgrade provisions outlined in BBVA RMBS 12 FTA transaction documents do not fully de-link the Series A Notes rating from the rating of the account bank. In other words, a material downgrade of the account bank’s ratings could lead to a downgrade of the Series A Notes.

The transactions structures were analysed in Intex DealMaker.

Notes:
All figures are in euros unless otherwise noted.

The principal methodology applicable to the ratings is the “Master European Structured Finance Surveillance Methodology”. DBRS has applied the principal methodology consistently and conducted a review of the transaction in accordance with the principal methodology.

DBRS has conducted a review of the transaction legal documents provided in the context of the aforementioned amendment. The other transaction legal documents have remained unchanged since the most recent rating action and as such, a review has not been conducted.

To assess the impact of changing the transaction parameters on the rating, DBRS considered the following stress scenarios as compared with the parameters used to determine the rating (the “Base Case”):

-- DBRS expected a lifetime base case PD and LGD for the pool based on a review of the current assets. Adverse changes to asset performance may cause stresses to base case assumptions and therefore have a negative effect on credit ratings.

-- For BBVA RMBS 5 FTA, DBRS updated its PD and LGD assumptions to 18.1% and 52.80% respectively for A (high) (sf) rating level and to 13.7% and 48.5% respectively for BBB (high) (sf) rating level.
-- For BBVA RMBS 9 FTA, DBRS updated its PD and LGD assumptions to 18.4% and 53.80% respectively for A (high) (sf).
-- For BBVA RMBS 10 FTA, DBRS updated its PD and LGD assumptions to 16.7% and 50.3% respectively for A (high) (sf) rating level and to 12.5% and 45.7% respectively for BBB (high) (sf) rating level.
-- For BBVA RMBS 11 FTA, DBRS updated its PD and LGD assumptions to 21.3% and 51.1% respectively for A (high) (sf) rating level and to 16.4% and 46.7% respectively for BBB (high) (sf) rating level and and to 10.6% and 42.4% respectively for BB (low) (sf) rating level .
-- For BBVA RMBS 12 FTA, DBRS updated its PD and LGD assumptions to 17.0% and 44.6% respectively for A (sf) rating level and to 13.5% and 40.3% respectively for BBB (high) (sf) rating level.
-- For BBVA RMBS 13 FTA, DBRS updated its PD and LGD assumptions to 17.1% and 45.8% respectively for A (sf) rating level and to 12.9% and 40.6% respectively for BBB (high) (sf) rating level.
-- For BBVA RMBS 15 FTA, DBRS updated its PD and LGD assumptions to 15.6% and 36.9% respectively for A (sf) rating level.
-- For BBVA RMBS 16 FTA, DBRS updated its PD and LGD assumptions to 19.3% and 38.2% respectively for A (sf) rating level.

-- The Risk Sensitivity overview below illustrates the ratings expected if the PD and LGD increase by a certain percentage over the base case assumption. For example, if the LGD of BBVA RMBS 5 FTA increases by 50%, the rating of the Series A would be expected to remain at A (high) (sf), assuming no change in the PD. If the PD of BBVA RMBS 5 FTA, increases by 50%, the rating of the Series A would be expected to remain at A (high) (sf), assuming no change in the LGD. Furthermore, if both the PD and LGD increase by 50%, the rating of the Series A would be expected to remain at A (high) (sf).

This press release was amended on 3 June 2019 to fix two typos in the sensitivities analysis section that stated the expected ratings for BBVA RMBS 10 FTA -Series B and BBVA RMBS 13 FTA - Series B would incorrectly be BBB (low) (sf) instead of BBB (sf) if there was a 25% increase in PD (BBVA RMBS 10 FTA - Series B) or a 25 % increase in LGD (BBVA RMBS 13 FTA - Series B).
