RMBS
November 13, 2024

DBRS, Inc. (Morningstar DBRS) reviewed its credit ratings on 37 classes from eleven U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) transactions. Out of the eleven transactions, one is classified as Single-Family Rental transaction, one is classified as Mortgage Insurance-Linked Notes, one is classified as ReREMIC of legacy RMBS, three are classified as Non-Qualified Mortgage, one is classified as Agency Credit, one is classified as Reperforming, one is classified as Manufactured Housing, one is classified as Second lien and one is classified as RMBS. Morningstar DBRS discontinued its credit ratings on all 37 classes that it reviewed.

The discontinued credit ratings reflect the full repayment of principal to the bondholders.

The transaction assumptions consider Morningstar DBRS' baseline macroeconomic scenarios for rated sovereign economies, available in its commentary "Baseline Macroeconomic Scenarios for Rated Sovereigns September 2024 Update" published on September 25, 2024 (https://dbrs.morningstar.com/research/439965). These baseline macroeconomic scenarios replace Morningstar DBRS' moderate and adverse coronavirus pandemic scenarios, which were first published in April 2020.

The credit rating actions are the result of Morningstar DBRS' application of its "U.S. RMBS Surveillance Methodology," published on June 28, 2024.
