DBRS Morningstar Finalizes its Provisional Ratings on BXG Receivables Note Trust 2023-A

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) finalized its provisional ratings on the following classes of Timeshare Loan-Backed Notes issued by BXG Receivables Note Trust 2023-A:

-- $96,635,000 Series 2023-A, Class A at AAA (sf)
-- $67,017,000 Series 2023-A, Class B at A (sf)
-- $50,953,000 Series 2023-A, Class C at BBB (low) (sf)

The ratings are based upon a review by DBRS Morningstar of the following analytical considerations:

(1) 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.

(2) The transaction’s ability to withstand stressed cash flow assumptions and repay investors according to the terms upon which they have invested. For this transaction, the rating on the Class A Notes addresses the timely payment of interest and the ultimate payment of principal by the Final Maturity Date. The ratings on the Class B Notes and Class C Notes addresses the ultimate payment of interest and the ultimate payment of principal by the respective Final Maturity Dates.

(3) Transaction capital structure, proposed ratings, and form and sufficiency of available credit enhancement.
-- Credit enhancement is in the form of subordination, overcollateralization, amounts held in the reserve account, and excess spread. Credit enhancement levels are sufficient to support the DBRS Morningstar-projected expected loss assumption under various stress scenarios.

(4) DBRS Morningstar’s projected losses do not include any additional stress from the coronavirus impact; the cumulative gross loss (CGL) assumption is 21.45%.

(5) Bluegreen Vacations Corporation’s (Bluegreen) long operating history and its capabilities with regard to developing and managing timeshare resorts as well as the origination, underwriting, and servicing of Timeshare Loans.

(6) DBRS Morningstar has performed an operational risk review of Bluegreen and considers the entity to be an acceptable originator and servicer of Timeshare Loans.

(7) The credit quality of the transaction collateral and the consistent performance of Bluegreen’s Timeshare Loan portfolio.

(8) Sufficient availability of historical performance data and a history of consistent performance on the Bluegreen Timeshare Loan portfolio.

(9) The statistical collateral pool is seasoned approximately 7 months and contains Bluegreen originations from Q4 2015 through Q1 2023. The average remaining life of the initial collateral pool is approximately 109 months. The weighted-average FICO score of the pool is 735 (excludes obligors with no FICO score, which is equal to approximately 0.10% of the statistical cut-off pool).

(10) All loans in the pool have received at least one payment, and loans for which payments had been formerly temporarily deferred or extended have since made at least two full payments after returning to paying status.

(11) The legal structure and expected legal opinions that address the true sale of the assets to the issuer, the nonconsolidation of each of the depositor and the issuer with Bluegreen, that the issuer has a valid first-priority security interest in the assets, and the consistency with the DBRS Morningstar “Legal Criteria for U.S. Structured Finance” methodology.
