DBRS Morningstar Confirms Five Ratings on One Oasis LLC Transaction and Two Libra Solutions LLC Transactions

Other
June 02, 2023

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) confirmed five ratings on one Oasis LLC transaction and two Libra Solutions LLC transactions as follows:

Oasis 2021-2 LLC
-- Class A Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes confirmed at A (sf)
-- Class B Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes confirmed at BBB (sf)

Libra Solutions 2022-1 LLC
-- Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes confirmed at A (low) (sf)

Libra Solutions 2022-2 LLC
-- Class A Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes confirmed at A (low) (sf)
-- Class B Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes confirmed at BB (sf)

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: April 2023 Update,” published on April 28, 2023. These baseline macroeconomic scenarios replace DBRS Morningstar’s moderate and adverse Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic scenarios, which were first published in April 2020.

-- Credit enhancement is in the form of overcollateralization, subordination (as applicable) and a liquidity reserve.

--The transactions feature a full-turbo principal payment structure, which allow credit enhancement to build up rapidly.

-- Overall, the collateral performance of the transactions has been in line with expectations.

-- The transaction parties’ capabilities regarding origination and servicing.

-- While the impact of the pandemic has had an adverse effect on U.S. borrowers in general, DBRS Morningstar expects the performance of the underlying receivables in the transaction to remain resilient because litigation funding receivables and medical funding receivables are underwritten based on the strength of the case to reach a successful resolution rather than the plaintiff's ability to repay.

-- Advances are often repaid by insurance companies. While there is exposure to the insurance industry in this transaction, DBRS Morningstar does not expect the economic stress caused by the pandemic to adversely affect insurance carriers’ ability to pay in the short to medium term.
