DBRS Upgrades One Class and Confirms One Class of Banc of America Re-REMIC Trust 2010-UBER5
CMBSDBRS, Inc. (DBRS) has today upgraded the rating of the following Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the Certificates) issued by Banc of America Re-REMIC Trust 2010-UBER5:
-- Class A-4B to AAA (sf) from A (low) (sf)
DBRS has also confirmed the rating of the following Certificate:
-- Class A-4A at AAA (sf)
The trends are Stable.
The rating upgrade reflects the improved credit characteristics of the underlying commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) bonds as a result of scheduled loan amortization, successful loan repayment, proceeds recovered from specially serviced loans and stabilizing cash flows on performing loans. The transaction is collateralized by the beneficial interests in three CMBS from three underlying transactions that were securitized in 2007 and 2008. The transaction is a senior/subordinate pass through, providing a sequential-pay structure intended to contain any potential losses within Class A-4B. The underlying certificates have been pooled together within the Banc of America Re-REMIC Trust 2010-UBER5 structure. If significant losses were to occur in one of the underlying transactions and its corresponding certificate, the losses would not be offset by the credit enhancement provided by the other underlying certificates within this trust. As such, DBRS rated Class A-4B to a first-dollar loss scenario in order to determine the rating floor for Class A-4B. DBRS analyzed each of the six underlying transactions separately. Although DBRS does not publicly rate any of the underlying transactions, a detailed level of analysis on each transaction was performed.
The three remaining underlying transactions and classes within the resecuritization are as follows:
-- CSMC 2007-C4, Class A-4
-- JPMCC 2008-C2, Class A-4
-- MLCFC 2007-9, Class A-4
DBRS analyzed the underlying certificates based on the performance of the underlying loans and the transaction structures. DBRS modeled the transactions independently and, in its review, focused on the larger assets, the specially serviced loans and the loans on the servicer’s watchlist in an effort to most appropriately model the pivotal loans within the transactions that carry a higher likelihood of default. To simulate realized losses expected on all delinquent loans, including 30-day delinquencies, DBRS either modeled these loans with 100% probability of default and the corresponding loss severity, reflective of debt yield derived by using the most recent loan-level cash flow, or ran a liquidation scenario using a haircut to the latest appraisal to account for additional expenses and/or potential future value decline.
The resulting weighted-average credit enhancement requirements for all the loans in the underlying pools, at each respective rating category, were then compared with the actual credit enhancement provided to the contributed certificates within the underlying CMBS structures. Based on that comparison, the rating upgrade was appropriate.
The ratings are dependent on the continued performance of the underlying transactions. Class A-4B has a $1,881 interest shortfall, which is the result of additional trust expenses. DBRS confirmed with the trustee that the shortfall is not a result of the credit profile of the underlying CMBS bonds. The DBRS ratings do not address the likelihood of additional trust fund expenses; however, DBRS has added the Interest in Arrears designation to the affected class.
