DBRS Morningstar Takes Rating Actions on Three Oportun Issuance Trust and One Oportun Funding XIV, LLC Transactions

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) confirmed 16 ratings from three Oportun Issuance Trust and One Oportun Funding XIV, LLC transactions.

The rating actions are based on the following analytical considerations:

-- The transaction assumptions consider DBRS Morningstar’s baseline macroeconomic scenarios for rated sovereign economies, available in its commentary Baseline Macroeconomic Scenarios For Rated Sovereigns: September 2022 Update, published on September 19, 2022. These baseline macroeconomic scenarios replace DBRS Morningstar’s moderate and adverse COVID-19 pandemic scenarios, which were first published in April 2020.

-- The transaction parties’ capabilities with regard to origination, underwriting, and servicing.

-- The rating actions are the result of the current collateral performance to date and DBRS Morningstar's assessment of future performance assumptions.

-- The transaction’s capital structure and form and sufficiency of available credit enhancement. The current level of hard credit enhancement and estimated excess spread are sufficient to support the DBRS Morningstar-projected remaining cumulative net loss assumption at a multiple of coverage commensurate with the ratings.
