KEY CREDIT RATING DRIVERS AND CONSIDERATIONS
On 11 September 2024, Morningstar DBRS finalised its updated "European RMBS Insight: Dutch Addendum" (the Methodology), which superseded the prior version published on 11 March 2024. The Methodology presents the criteria for which Dutch RMBS and Dutch covered bonds credit ratings are assigned and/or monitored.
The changes to the Methodology include a revised Dutch Loan Scoring Approach, updated house price data, market value declines, and distressed sale discounts, as well as revised rescission rates. For more details, see the following press release: https://dbrs.morningstar.com/research/439270.
Morningstar DBRS considers the aforementioned tranches to be potentially affected by the changes to the Methodology, and as a consequence, Morningstar DBRS placed the relevant credit ratings UR-Pos.
Morningstar DBRS' credit ratings on the applicable classes address the credit risk associated with the identified financial obligations in accordance with the relevant transaction documents. Where applicable, a description of these financial obligations can be found in the transactions' respective press releases at issuance.
Morningstar DBRS' long-term credit ratings provide opinions on risk of default. Morningstar DBRS considers risk of default to be the risk that an issuer will fail to satisfy the financial obligations in accordance with the terms under which a long-term obligation has been issued.
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, AND GOVERNANCE CONSIDERATIONS
There were no Environmental/Social/Governance factors that had a significant or relevant effect on the credit analysis.
A description of how Morningstar DBRS considers ESG factors within the Morningstar DBRS analytical framework can be found in the "Morningstar DBRS Criteria: Approach to Environmental, Social, and Governance Factors in Credit Ratings" at https://dbrs.morningstar.com/research/437781.
Morningstar DBRS analysed the transaction structures in Intex DealMaker.
