Consumer Loans & Credit Cards
March 20, 2025

DBRS Ratings GmbH (Morningstar DBRS) took the following credit rating actions on the following classes of notes (collectively, the Rated Notes) issued by Sunrise SPV 95 S.r.l. - Sunrise 2024-1 (the Issuer):

-- Class A1 Notes confirmed at AA (high) (sf)
-- Class A2 Notes confirmed at AA (high) (sf)
-- Class B Notes confirmed at AA (low) (sf)
-- Class C Notes confirmed at A (sf)
-- Class D Notes confirmed at BBB (high) (sf)
-- Class E Notes confirmed at BB (high) (sf)

The credit ratings of the Class A1, Class A2 (collectively, the Class A Notes) and Class B Notes address the timely payment of scheduled interest and the ultimate repayment of principal on or before the legal final maturity date. The credit ratings of the Class C, Class D and Class E Notes address the ultimate payment of interest but the timely payment of scheduled interest when they become the senior-most tranche and the ultimate repayment of principal on or before the legal final maturity date.

CREDIT RATING RATIONALE
The credit rating actions described above are based on the following considerations:
-- The portfolio performance, in terms of level of delinquencies, defaults, and losses as of February 2025 payment date;
-- Probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and expected loss assumptions considering the potential portfolio migration based on replenishment criteria set forth in the transaction legal documents;
-- The current levels of credit enhancement available to the Rated Notes to cover the expected losses at their respective credit rating levels;
-- No revolving termination event has occurred.

TRANSACTION STRUCTURE
The transaction is a securitisation of fixed-rate consumer, auto, and other-purpose loans granted by Agos Ducato S.p.A. (the originator and servicer) to private individuals residing in Italy. The transaction includes a 15-month scheduled revolving period. During the revolving period, the originator may offer additional receivables that the Issuer will purchase, provided that the eligibility criteria and concentration limits set out in the transaction documents are satisfied. The revolving period may end earlier than scheduled if certain events occur such as the originator's insolvency, the servicer's replacement, or the breach of performance triggers. At the end of the revolving period, the Notes will be repaid on a fully sequential basis.

PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE
As of the February 2025 payment date, loans that were one to two months and two to three months delinquent represented 0.4% and 0.2% of the portfolio balance, respectively, while loans more than three months delinquent represented 0.6%. Gross cumulative defaults amounted to 0.7% of the aggregate original and subsequent portfolios, of which 1.2% has been recovered to date.

PORTFOLIO ASSUMPTIONS AND KEY DRIVERS
Morningstar DBRS maintained its base case PD and LGD assumptions at 5.0% and 89.2%. The analysis continues to consider the replenishment criteria set forth in the transaction legal documents.

CREDIT ENHANCEMENT
The subordination of the respective junior notes and the cash reserve provides credit enhancement to the rated notes. As of the February 2025 payment date, credit enhancement to the Class A1, Class A2, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Notes was 24.9%, 24.9%, 17.2%, 11.2%, 8.2% and 5.6% respectively, stable since closing due to inclusion of the revolving period.

The transaction allocates collections in separate interest and principal priorities of payments and benefits from a non-amortising EUR 16,177,976 payment interruption risk reserve (equal to 1.25% of initial loan principal balances) and a non-amortising EUR 6,471,191 cash reserve (equal to 0.5% of initial loan principal balances) at closing. Both reserves were initially funded with the notes' issuance proceeds and can be used to cover senior expenses and interest payments on the Rated Notes. The cash reserve can also be used to replenish the payment interruption risk reserve and offset defaulted receivables. Principal funds can also be reallocated to cover senior expenses and interest payments on the Rated Notes if the interest collections and both reserves are not sufficient.

The transaction also benefits from a non-amortising rata posticipata reserve to supplement interest amounts that borrowers do not make during payment holidays. This reserve will be funded through the transaction interest waterfalls if specific thresholds are breached and will be released when the threshold breach is cured.

The interest rate risk for the transaction is considered limited as an interest rate swap is in place to reduce the interest rate mismatch between the fixed-rate collateral and the Class A Notes.

TRANSACTION COUNTERPARTIES
Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (CA-CIB), Milan Branch is the account bank for the transaction. Morningstar DBRS has a private credit rating on CA-CIB, which meets the criteria to act in such capacity. The transaction documents contain downgrade provisions consistent with Morningstar DBRS' criteria.

CA-CIB is also the initial swap counterparty for the transaction. Morningstar DBRS' private rating on CA-CIB meets the criteria to act in such capacity. The transaction documents contain downgrade provisions consistent with Morningstar DBRS' criteria.

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.
