March 08, 2017

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS) has today reviewed 22 ratings from eight U.S. structured finance asset-backed securities transactions. Of the 22 outstanding publicly rated classes reviewed, DBRS has confirmed 19 classes and upgraded three classes. For the ratings that were confirmed, performance trends are such that credit enhancement levels are sufficient to cover DBRS’s expected losses at their current respective rating levels. For the ratings that were upgraded, performance trends are such that credit enhancement levels are sufficient to cover DBRS’s expected losses at their new respective rating levels.

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.
