DBRS Takes Rating Actions on U.S. ABS Transactions

Auto
August 10, 2016

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS) has today reviewed 11 ratings from three U.S. structured finance asset-backed securities transactions. Of the 11 outstanding publicly rated classes reviewed, ten were confirmed as performance trends are such that credit enhancement levels are sufficient to cover DBRS’s expected losses at their current respective rating levels. Additionally, one class was discontinued due to full repayment.

The ratings are based on DBRS’s review of the following analytical considerations:
-- Transaction capital structure, proposed ratings and form and sufficiency of available credit enhancement.
-- The transaction parties’ capabilities with regard to origination, underwriting and servicing.
-- The credit quality of the collateral pool and historical performance.

Notes:
All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

The applicable methodology is the DBRS Master U.S. ABS Surveillance Methodology, which can be found on our website under Methodologies.

The rated entity or its related entities did participate in the rating process. DBRS had access to the accounts and other relevant internal documents of the rated entity or its related entities.

Please see attached appendix for additional information regarding sensitivity of assumptions used in the rating process.
