DBRS Morningstar Takes Rating Actions on Nine OneMain Financial Issuance Trust Transactions

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) confirmed 24 ratings, upgraded 13 ratings, and discontinued two ratings due to repayment from nine OneMain Financial Issuance Trust transactions.

The rating actions are based on the following analytical considerations:

-- The transaction assumptions consider DBRS Morningstar’s baseline macroeconomic scenarios for rated sovereign economies, available in its commentary Baseline Macroeconomic Scenarios For Rated Sovereigns - March 2022 Update, published on March 24, 2022. These baseline macroeconomic scenarios replace DBRS Morningstar’s moderate and adverse COVID-19 pandemic scenarios, which were first published in April 2020. Despite several new or increasing risks including Russian invasion of Ukraine, rising inflation and new COVID-19 variants, the overall outlook for growth and employment in the United States remains relatively positive.

-- The level of hard credit enhancement in the form of overcollateralization, subordination, and amounts held in reserve fund available in the transaction. Hard credit enhancement and estimated excess spread are sufficient to support DBRS Morningstar’s current rating levels.

-- The collateral performance to date and DBRS Morningstar's assessment of future performance.

-- The transaction parties’ capabilities with regard to origination, underwriting, and servicing.
