DBRS Morningstar Takes Rating Actions on 92 U.S. RMBS Transactions

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) reviewed 895 classes from 92 U.S. residential mortgage-backed security (RMBS) transactions. Of the 895 classes reviewed, DBRS Morningstar confirmed 887 ratings and removed two of them from Under Review with Negative Implications, downgraded five ratings and removed them from Under Review with Negative Implications, and placed three ratings Under Review with Negative Implications.

The rating confirmations reflect asset performance and credit-support levels that are consistent with the current ratings. The rating downgrades reflect the unlikely recovery of the bonds’ principal loss amount or the transactions’ negative trend in loss activity. The Under Review with Negative Implications status reflects the negative impact of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic on the bonds. For certain bonds, DBRS Morningstar maintained the Under Review with Negative Implications status amid the uncertainty in such transactions’ performance with respect to forbearance and delinquency trends.

DBRS Morningstar’s rating actions are based on the following analytical considerations:

-- Key performance measures as reflected in month-over-month changes in delinquency (including forbearance) percentages, credit enhancement (CE) increases since deal inception, and CE levels relative to 30-day+ delinquencies.

-- Offset of mortgage-relief initiatives via direct-to-consumer economic aid, mortgage payment assistance, and foreclosure suspension directives.

-- Elevated economic concerns and more conservative home price assumptions.

As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, DBRS Morningstar expects increased delinquencies, loans on forbearance plans, and a potential near-term decline in the values of the mortgaged properties. Such deteriorations may adversely affect borrowers’ ability to make monthly payments, refinance their loans, or sell properties in an amount sufficient to repay the outstanding balance of their loans.

In connection with the economic stress assumed under its moderate scenario (see “Global Macroeconomic Scenarios: March 2021 Update,” published on March 17, 2021), DBRS Morningstar applies more severe market value decline (MVD) assumptions across all rating categories than what it previously used. DBRS Morningstar derives such MVD assumptions through a fundamental home price approach based on the forecast unemployment rates and GDP growth outlined in the aforementioned moderate scenario.

The pools backing the reviewed RMBS transactions consist of re-performing (RPL) collateral.

In the RPL asset class, DBRS Morningstar generally believes that loans that were previously delinquent, recently modified, or have higher updated loan-to-value ratios (LTVs) may be more sensitive to economic hardships resulting from higher unemployment rates and lower incomes. Borrowers with previous delinquencies or recent modifications have exhibited difficulty in fulfilling payment obligations in the past and may revert back to spotty payment patterns in the near term. Higher LTV borrowers with lower equity in their properties generally have fewer refinance opportunities and, therefore, slower prepayments.

The ratings assigned to the securities listed below differ from the ratings implied by the quantitative model. DBRS Morningstar considers this difference to be a material deviation; however, in this case, the ratings on the subject securities reflect actual deal/tranche performance that is not fully reflected in the projected cash flows/model output. Generally for RMBS transactions, the reporting of recent forbearance-related delinquencies (as opposed to nonforbearance-related delinquencies) in remittance reports has not been consistent and standardized. DBRS Morningstar believes that recent increases in delinquencies mostly reflect forbearances being requested and granted as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Additionally, DBRS Morningstar believes that forbearance-related delinquencies, especially during the coronavirus pandemic, should have a lower probability of default than nonforbearance-related delinquencies. Because of the lack of standardized reporting, DBRS Morningstar may not be able to appropriately identify delinquencies as a result of forbearance in its loss analysis; thus, for certain transactions, DBRS Morningstar may have projected significantly higher expected losses using its quantitative model. After reviewing transaction-level performance trends and other analytical considerations outlined in this press release, however, DBRS Morningstar may assign ratings that differ from those implied by the quantitative model, thus resulting in a material deviation.
