Kroll Bond Rating Agency Assigns Final Ratings to JPMCC 2013-C10

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) assigned its final ratings to fourteen classes of JPMCC 2013-C10, a $1.28 billion CMBS multi-borrower transaction collateralized by 50 fixed rate commercial mortgage loans that are secured by 101 properties. Concurrently, we have withdrawn our preliminary ratings of the certificates, which were assigned on February 22, 2013 (see our ratings listed below).

The mortgage loan sellers are JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (JPMCB), CIBC Inc. (CIBC) and Redwood Commercial Mortgage Corporation (RCMC). The respective contribution of each seller to the pool balance is as follows: JPMCB (36 loans, 81.1%), CIBC (8 loans, 12.0%) and RCMC (6 loans, 6.9%). The majority of the loans (29 loans, 69.2%) were used to refinance existing debt, while the proceeds from 21 loans (30.8%) were used for property acquisitions.

The loans have principal balances that range from $3.0 million to $130.0 million for the largest loan in the pool, which is secured by The Shops at Riverside (10.2%), a regional mall property located in Hackensack, New Jersey. The top five loans, which also include Gateway Center (8.8%), EIP Industrial Portfolio (7.1%), 111 West Jackson (6.3%) and Pot-Nets Manufactured Housing Portfolio (4.8%), represent 37.0% of the initial pool balance, and the top 10 loan exposures represent 55.0%. The properties are geographically diverse and located across 22 states with the three largest state concentrations being New Jersey (14.0%), Illinois (11.6%) and Pennsylvania (11.4%). The pool has exposure to two property types with concentrations in excess of 10%: retail (35.2%) and office (33.9%).

KBRA‘s analysis of the transaction incorporated our multi-borrower rating process that begins with our analysts’ evaluation of underlying collateral properties’ financial and operating performance, which determine KBRA‘s estimate of sustainable net cash flow (KNCF) and KBRA value. The analysis utilized our CMBS Property Evaluation Guidelines to determine KNCF, which on an aggregate basis was 3.3% less than the issuer cash flow. KBRA capitalization rates were applied to each asset’s KNCF to derive individual property values that, on an aggregate basis, were 33.4% less than third party appraisal values. The pool has an in-trust KLTV of 97.8% and an all-in LTV of 101.5%.

KNCF and KBRA capitalization rates were among the key inputs used in our credit modeling process. The model deploys rent and occupancy stresses, probability of default regressions, and loss given default calculations to determine losses for each collateral loan that were used by KBRA to assign our credit ratings for this transaction.

Kroll Bond Rating Agency Assigns Preliminary Ratings to Sequoia Mortgage Trust 2013-4

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) assigns preliminary ratings to six classes of mortgage pass-through certificates from Sequoia Mortgage Trust 2013-4, a jumbo prime RMBS transaction.

The mortgage pool backing SEMT 2013-4 is comprised of 716 first-lien mortgage loans with an aggregate principal balance of $576,435,465 as of the cut-off date. Over 98% of the loans in the pool are 30-yer fixed-rate mortgages; the remainder are 20-year and 25-year fixed mortgages. About 2.2% of the loans are interest-only for the first 10 years; the remainder are fully amortizing. The pool is characterized by substantial borrower equity in each mortgaged property, as evidenced by the average LTV (64%) and CLTV (65%). The weighted average credit score of the mortgage pool is 773 which is well within the prime mortgage range. The SEMT 2013-4 pool is also notable for offering even stronger levels of borrower equity.

KBRA‘s analysis of the transaction included a loan-level analysis of the mortgage pools using our Residential Mortgage Default and Loss Model, together with a review of the transaction parties, results of loan file reviews performed by independent third party firms and review of the legal structure and key documentation. This analysis is further described in our U.S. RMBS Rating Methodology.
