DBRS Morningstar Confirms Ratings on Three OneMain Direct Auto Receivables Trust Transactions

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) confirmed 13 ratings from three OneMain Direct Auto Receivables 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 - April 2023 Update, published on April 28, 2023. These baseline macroeconomic scenarios replace DBRS Morningstar’s moderate and adverse COVID-19 pandemic scenarios, which were first published in April 2020.

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

-- The rating actions are the result of collateral performance to date and DBRS Morningstar's assessment of future performance assumptions.

-- The transaction’s capital structure and form and sufficiency of available credit enhancement. The current level of hard credit enhancement and estimated excess spread are sufficient to support the DBRS Morningstar-projected remaining cumulative net loss assumption at a multiple of coverage commensurate with the ratings.
