DBRS Morningstar Takes Rating Actions on Five European RMBS Transactions

RMBS

December 18, 2020

DBRS Ratings Limited and DBRS Ratings GmbH (together, DBRS Morningstar) confirmed 26 tranches and downgraded six tranches across five European RMBS transactions. The rating actions additionally resolve the Under Review with Negative Implications (UR-Neg.) status of 21 tranches across these transactions, which were initially placed UR-Neg. on 24 June 2020 before having their UR-Neg. status extended on 24 September 2020. For more information regarding prior rating actions, please refer to the following press releases: “DBRS Morningstar Places 56 Ratings of 17 European RMBS Transactions Under Review with Negative Implications” (published 24 June 2020) and “DBRS Morningstar Maintains Ratings of Five European RMBS Transactions Under Review with Negative Implications” (published 24 September 2020). The complete list of rating actions can be found at the end of this press release.

DBRS Morningstar has assessed the potential impact of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic on these transactions by adjusting its collateral assumptions in line with the risk factors in its “European RMBS Transactions’ Risk Exposure to Coronavirus (COVID-19) Effect” commentary published on 5 May 2020, outlining how the coronavirus crisis is likely to affect DBRS Morningstar-rated RMBS transactions in Europe. For more details, please see the RMBS commentary: https://www.dbrsmorningstar.com/research/360599/european-rmbs-transactions-risk-exposure-to-coronavirus-covid-19-effect and “DBRS Morningstar’s European Structured Finance COVID-19 Credit Risk Exposure Roadmap”: https://www.dbrsmorningstar.com/research/362712/european-structured-finance-covid-19-credit-risk-exposure-roadmap.

These transactions are secured by asset pools that may include high levels of restructured or reperforming loans, past delinquencies, refinancing risk exposure, or high concentrations of self-employed borrowers, which have resulted in upward revisions of their base case probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) assumptions. DBRS Morningstar considers the collateral performance to date, available credit enhancement, and other structural protections of three transactions, Rochester Financing No.2 plc, Dublin Bay Securities 2018-MA1 DAC, and European Residential Loan Securitisation 2019-PL1 DAC, to be consistent with rating confirmations. Ratings on certain tranches issued under the remaining two transactions, Miravet 2019-1 and Mulcair Securities DAC, are considered to be more sensitive to coronavirus-related performance deterioration, and have been downgraded. The UR-Neg. status on all the aforementioned tranches has been removed. DBRS Morningstar will continue to monitor these transactions, as the ongoing impact of the coronavirus pandemic may have longer-term credit implications, and levels of delinquencies, defaults, and losses in excess of DBRS Morningstar’s expectations may eventually manifest.

On 16 April 2020, the DBRS Morningstar Sovereign group released a set of macroeconomic scenarios for the 2020-22 period in select economies. These scenarios were last updated on 2 December 2020. For details, see the following commentaries: https://www.dbrsmorningstar.com/research/370672/global-macroeconomic-scenarios-december-update and https://www.dbrsmorningstar.com/research/359903/global-macroeconomic-scenarios-application-to-credit-ratings. The DBRS Morningstar analysis considered impacts consistent with the moderate scenario in the referenced reports.

The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and the resulting isolation measures have caused an economic contraction, leading to sharp increases in unemployment rates and income reductions for many borrowers. DBRS Morningstar anticipates that delinquencies may continue to increase in the coming months for many RMBS transactions, some meaningfully. The ratings are based on additional analysis and adjustments to expected performance as a result of the global efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus. For these transactions, DBRS Morningstar incorporated a moderate reduction in residential property values and, where relevant for the portfolio, DBRS Morningstar increased the expected default rate for self-employed borrowers, assessed a potential reduction in portfolio prepayment rates, and applied additional adjustments to restructured loans.

Should collateral performance deteriorate beyond the levels contemplated under DBRS Morningstar’s revised base case assumptions, or in the event of a material change in DBRS Morningstar’s macroeconomic forecasts, these transactions may be placed UR-Neg. once again.

KEY RATING DRIVERS AND CONSIDERATIONS

The rating actions follow a review of each transaction and are based on the following analytical considerations:

-- Portfolio performance, in terms of delinquencies, defaults, and losses.
-- PD, LGD, and expected loss assumptions on the remaining collateral portfolios.
-- Current available credit enhancement to the rated notes to cover the expected losses at their respective rating levels.
-- Current economic environment and an assessment of sustainable performance, as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

DBRS Ratings Limited:

Rochester Financing No. 2 Plc

DBRS Morningstar confirmed its ratings of the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, and Class F notes (together the Notes) of Rochester Financing No.2 Plc at AAA (sf), AA (high) (sf), AA (low) (sf), A (sf), BBB (low) (sf), and BB (sf), respectively. The UR-Neg. status on the Class D, Class E, and Class F notes was removed.

The ratings on the Notes address the timely payment of interest and ultimate payment of principal on or before the legal final maturity date.

The last rating action on this transaction took place on 24 September 2020, when DBRS Morningstar extended the UR-Neg status on the ratings of the Class D, Class E, and Class F notes. DBRS Morningstar initially placed these ratings UR-Neg. on 24 June 2020.

In terms of portfolio performance, as of the November 2020 payment date, loans that were 30 to 60 days in arrears represented 4.7% of the outstanding portfolio balance while loans 60 to 90 days in arrears represented 3.2%.

European Residential Loan Securitisation 2019-PL1 DAC

DBRS Morningstar confirmed its ratings of the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, and Class F Notes issued by European Residential Loan Securitisation 2019-PL1 DAC at AAA (sf), AA (sf), A (high) (sf), BBB (high) (sf), BBB (low) (sf), and B (high) (sf), respectively. The UR-Neg. status on the Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E and Class F Notes was removed.

The rating of the Class A Notes addresses the timely payment of interest and full payment of principal by the legal final maturity date. The rating of the Class B notes addresses the ultimate payment of interest and principal while junior, and timely payment of interest while the senior-most class outstanding. The ratings of the Class C, Class D, Class E, and Class F Notes address the ultimate payment of interest and principal.

In terms of portfolio performance, as of the November 2020 payment date, loans that were 30 to 60 days in arrears represented 2.5% of the outstanding portfolio balance while loans 60 to 90 days in arrears represented 1.7%. The 90+ delinquencies accounted for 3.1% of the outstanding balance, with cumulative defaults of 0.0%. With regards to payment moratoriums, 1.4% of the portfolio were granted a payment holiday.

The last rating action on this transaction took place on 24 September 2020, when DBRS Morningstar maintained its UR-Neg. status on the Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, and Class F Notes. DBRS Morningstar initially placed these ratings UR-Neg. on 24 June 2020.
To assess the impact of changing the transaction parameters on the ratings, DBRS Morningstar considered the following stress scenarios as compared with the parameters used to determine the rating (the Base Case):
-- DBRS Morningstar 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.
-- The base case PD and LGD of the current pool of loans for the issuer are 30.4% and 32.8%, respectively.
-- 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 increases by 50%, the rating of the Class A Notes would be expected to fall to AA (sf), assuming no change in the PD. If the PD increases by 50%, the rating of the Class A Notes would be expected to fall to AA (sf), assuming no change in the LGD. Furthermore, if both the PD and LGD increase by 50%, the rating of the Class A Notes would be expected to fall to BBB (low) (sf).
