DBRS Morningstar Confirms Ratings on Magoi B.V.

Consumer Loans & Credit Cards

December 14, 2021

DBRS Ratings GmbH (DBRS Morningstar) confirmed the ratings on the bonds issued by Magoi B.V. (the Issuer) as follows:

-- Class A Notes at AAA (sf)
-- Class B Notes at AA (sf)
-- Class C Notes at A (high) (sf)
-- Class D Notes at A (low) (sf)
-- Class E Notes at BBB (sf)
-- Class F Notes at B (sf)

The rating on the Class A Notes addresses the timely payment of interest and the ultimate payment of principal on or before the legal final maturity date in July 2039. The ratings on the Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, and Class F Notes address the ultimate payment of scheduled interest while the class is subordinate and the timely payment of scheduled interest as the most-senior class as well as the ultimate repayment of principal by the legal final maturity date.

The confirmations follow an annual review of the transaction and are based on the following analytical considerations:
-- Portfolio performance, in terms of delinquencies, defaults, and losses, as of the October 2021 payment date;
-- Probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD), and expected loss assumptions on the remaining receivables;
-- Current available credit enhancement to the notes to cover the expected losses at their respective rating levels; and
-- Current economic environment and an assessment of sustainable performance, as a result of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

The transaction is an asset-backed security (ABS) transaction comprising a portfolio of fixed-rate unsecured amortising personal loans granted to individuals domiciled in the Netherlands for general consumption. The loan portfolio is serviced by Findio B.V. and InterBank N.V., which are owned by Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance Nederland B.V. (CACF NL). The transaction included an eight-month revolving period, which ended with the August 2020 payment date.

PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE
As of October 2021, loans two to three months in arrears represented 0.1% of the outstanding portfolio balance, which is stable since October 2020; the 90+-day delinquency ratio of 0.1% remained stable; and the cumulative default and loss ratios were 0.3% and 0.0%, respectively.

PORTFOLIO ASSUMPTIONS AND KEY DRIVERS
DBRS Morningstar has maintained its base case PD assumption at 4.0% and updated the base case LGD assumption to 77.0%, slightly down from last year’s annual review because of the removal of the coronavirus recovery adjustment.

CREDIT ENHANCEMENT
The credit enhancement to the rated notes is provided by the subordination of junior notes. As of the October 2021 payment date, credit enhancement to the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, and Class F Notes were 21.9%, 15.3%, 11.3%, 8.9%, 6.6%, and 4.2%, respectively, unchanged since October 2020 because of the pro rata amortisation of the notes.

The transaction includes a liquidity reserve fund of EUR 1.3 million that is available to the Issuer during the amortisation period in restricted scenarios where the interest and principal collections are not sufficient to cover the shortfalls in senior expenses, swap payments, and interest on the Class A and Class B Notes. During the accelerated redemption period, the liquidity reserve amount is not available to the Issuer and is instead returned directly to the liquidity provider.

The transaction also includes a commingling reserve fund of EUR 10.3 million, which may be used each month as part of the available funds up to the collection amounts not received by the Issuer.

Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (CA-CIB) acts as the account bank for the transaction. Based on DBRS Morningstar’s private rating on CA-CIB, the downgrade provisions outlined in the transaction documents, and other mitigating factors inherent in the transaction structure, DBRS Morningstar considers the risk arising from the exposure to the account bank to be consistent with the rating assigned to the Class A Notes, as described in DBRS Morningstar's "Legal Criteria for European Structured Finance Transactions" methodology.

CACF NL acts as the swap counterparty for the transaction and CA-CIB acts as the standby swap counterparty. DBRS Morningstar's private rating on CA-CIB is consistent with the First Rating Threshold as described in DBRS Morningstar's "Derivative Criteria for European Structured Finance Transactions" methodology.

DBRS Morningstar analysed the transaction structure in Intex DealMaker.

The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and the resulting isolation measures have caused an immediate economic contraction, leading in some cases to increases in unemployment rates and income reductions for many borrowers. DBRS Morningstar anticipates that delinquencies may continue to increase in the coming months for many ABS transactions. The ratings are based on additional analysis to expected performance as a result of the global efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

To assess the impact of changing the transaction parameters on the ratings, DBRS Morningstar considered the following stress scenarios as compared with the parameters used to determine the rating (the Base Case):

-- DBRS Morningstar expected a lifetime base case PD and LGD for the pool based on a review of the current assets. Adverse changes to asset performance may cause stresses to base case assumptions and therefore have a negative effect on credit ratings.
-- The base case PD and LGD of the current pool of loans for the Issuer are 4.0% and 77.0%, respectively.
-- The risk sensitivity overview below illustrates the ratings expected if the PD and LGD increase by a certain percentage over the base case assumption. For example, if the LGD increases by 50%, the rating of the Class A Notes would be expected to remain at AAA (sf), assuming no change in the PD. If the PD increases by 50%, the rating of the Class A Notes would be expected to fall to AA (high) (sf), assuming no change in the LGD. Furthermore, if both the PD and LGD increase by 50%, the rating of the Class A Notes would be expected to fall to AA (sf).

-- 25% increase in LGD, expected rating of AA (high) (sf)
