DBRS Morningstar Takes Rating Actions on 12 Freddie Mac-Issued CMBS Transactions

DBRS Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) conducted its surveillance review of 24 classes from six Freddie Mac commercial mortgage-backed security (CMBS) transactions and 18 classes from six Freddie Mac Structured Pass-Through Certificate transactions. DBRS Morningstar confirmed its ratings on all 42 classes across the 12 transactions. The rating confirmations reflect the overall stable performances of the transactions, which have generally remained in line with DBRS Morningstar’s expectations at issuance. All trends are Stable.

There are 328 loans secured across the 12 Freddie Mac CMBS transactions with an aggregate outstanding balance of $7.68 billion as of the March 2022 reporting. No loans are in special servicing, are delinquent, or have defeased. There are 13 loans (2.4% of the aggregate outstanding balance) on the servicers’ watchlists for a variety of reasons, including deferred maintenance, storm and fire damage, declines in debt service coverage ratios, and declines in occupancy rates at the subject properties.

All ratings are subject to surveillance, which could result in ratings being upgraded, downgraded, placed under review, confirmed, or discontinued by DBRS Morningstar.
