December 10, 2020

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) has confirmed the AAA (sf) rating of the Series 2018-PP10 Note issued by GM Financial Automobile Leasing Trust 2018-PP10. The performance of the transaction is such that credit enhancement is sufficient to cover the DBRS Morningstar loss expectations at the current rating level.

As of the November 2020 Distribution Date, credit enhancement was 43.62%. The Indenture Note factor was 22.38%. The pool factor of the Aggregate Securitization Value of the collateral was 33.24%. Delinquencies aged 30-plus days were 0.87% and delinquencies aged 60-plus days were 0.28%. The cumulative credit loss rate was -0.08%. The cumulative residual gain on returned vehicles was over 100%.

Confirmation on the notes considers DBRS Morningstar’s set of macroeconomic scenarios for select economies related to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), available in its commentary “Global Macroeconomic Scenarios: December Update,” published on December 2, 2020. DBRS Morningstar initially published macroeconomic scenarios on April 16, 2020, which have been regularly updated. The scenarios were last updated on December 2, 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 factors in increasing success in containment during the first half of 2021, enabling the continued relaxation of restrictions.
