Morningstar DBRS Takes Credit Rating Actions on 24 U.S. RMBS Transactions

RMBS
January 10, 2025

DBRS, Inc. (Morningstar DBRS) reviewed 230 classes from 24 U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) transactions. Of the 24 transactions reviewed, seven are classified as non-qualified mortgage transactions, fifteen are classified as re-performing mortgage transactions, one is a prime mortgage transaction and one is classified as small-balance commercial mortgage transaction collateralized by various types of commercial, multifamily rental, and mixed-use properties. Of the 230 classes reviewed, Morningstar DBRS upgraded its credit ratings on 65 classes and confirmed its credit ratings on 165 classes.

CREDIT RATING RATIONALE/DESCRIPTION

The credit rating upgrades reflect a positive performance trend and an increase in credit support sufficient to withstand stresses at the new credit rating level. The credit rating confirmations reflect asset performance and credit support levels that are consistent with the current credit ratings.

The transaction assumptions consider Morningstar DBRS' baseline macroeconomic scenarios for rated sovereign economies, available in its commentary "Baseline Macroeconomic Scenarios for Rated Sovereigns December 2024 Update" published on December 19, 2024 (https://dbrs.morningstar.com/research/444924). 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 (https://dbrs.morningstar.com/research/435291).

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. The Morningstar DBRS short-term debt credit rating scale provides an opinion on the risk that an issuer will not meet its short-term financial obligations in a timely manner.

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 (August 13, 2024) at https://dbrs.morningstar.com/research/437781.

Notes:
All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

The principal methodology applicable to the credit ratings is U.S. RMBS Surveillance Methodology (June 28, 2024), https://dbrs.morningstar.com/research/435291 and North American CMBS Surveillance Methodology (December 13, 2024), https://dbrs.morningstar.com/research/444617

Other methodologies referenced in this transaction are listed at the end of this press release.

The credit ratings assigned to the classes below materially deviate from the credit ratings implied by the predictive model. Morningstar DBRS typically expects there to be a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor or other user of the credit ratings would consider a three-notch or more deviation from the credit rating stresses implied by the predictive model to be a significant factor in evaluating the credit ratings.

The below tranches materially deviate because additional seasoning and/or updated performance is to be measured against a sustainable upgrade loan level cash flow stress:
