Morningstar DBRS Downgrades and Discontinues Credit Ratings on Two Classes of JPMBB Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust 2015-C32
CMBSDBRS Limited (Morningstar DBRS) downgraded the credit ratings on two classes of Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C32 issued by JPMBB Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust 2015-C32 as follows:
-- Class F to D (sf) from C (sf)
-- Class G to D (sf) from C (sf)
Following the credit rating downgrades, Morningstar DBRS will subsequently discontinue and withdraw its credit ratings on the aforementioned classes.
The credit rating downgrades were due to a loss to the trust that was reflected with the June 2025 remittance. The transaction incurred a loss of $27.8 million, wiping out the unrated Class NR, Class G, and eroding into Class F. The loss was tied to non-recoverable advances for the largest four loans in the pool, all of which are in special servicing. For more information on these loans, please see the press release dated January 20, 2025, on the Morningstar DBRS website.
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.
