DBRS Morningstar Confirms Rating on GMF Floorplan Revolving Owner Trust

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) confirmed the rating on GMF Floorplan Revolving Owner Trust as follows:

-- Series 2013-A, Auto Dealer Loan Asset Backed Notes at AAA (sf)

The rating confirmation is based on DBRS Morningstar’s review of the following analytical considerations:

-- The transaction assumptions consider DBRS Morningstar’s set of macroeconomic scenarios for select economies related to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), available in its commentary “Global Macroeconomic Scenarios: September Update,” published on September 10, 2020. DBRS Morningstar initially published macroeconomic scenarios on April 16, 2020, which have been regularly updated. The scenarios were last updated on September 10, 2020, and are reflected in DBRS Morningstar’s rating analysis.
-- The assumptions consider the moderate macroeconomic scenario outlined in the commentary, with the moderate scenario serving as the primary anchor for current ratings. The moderate scenario remains predicated on a more rapid return of confidence and a steady recovery heading into 2021. Observed performance during the 2008–09 financial crisis and the possible impact from stimulus were also incorporated into the analysis.
-- Transaction capital structure, current rating, 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 as of September 2020.
-- The transaction is a securitization of U.S. wholesale auto loans. The deal benefits from credit enhancement consisting of overcollateralization and a reserve account. The aggregate pool balance was $5,316,516,700. Cumulative net losses were 0.00%.
