DBRS Takes Rating Actions on U.S. RMBS Securities

RMBS
February 11, 2016

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS) has today reviewed 286 classes from 27 U.S. residential mortgage-backed security (RMBS) transactions. Of the 286 classes reviewed, 45 classes were upgraded, 228 classes were confirmed and 13 classes were discontinued due to full principal repayment to the bondholders.

The rating upgrades reflect positive performance trends and that these classes have experienced increases in credit support sufficient to withstand stresses at their new rating level. For transactions where the rating has been confirmed, current asset performance and credit support levels have been consistent with the current rating.

The transactions consist of pools backed by Subprime, Alt-A, Prime, and Scratch & Dent residential loans.

Notes:
The applicable methodologies are U.S. RMBS Surveillance Methodology and RMBS Insight 1.2: U.S. Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Model and Rating Methodology, which can be found on our website under Methodologies.

These ratings are endorsed by DBRS Ratings Limited for use in the European Union.
