KBRA Releases Research – Four European CMBS Loan KPOs Revised to Underperform

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA revises the KBRA Performance Outlook (KPO) on four European CMBS loans to Underperform following a sensitivity analysis to assess the potential impact of the deteriorating economic environment. The analysis produced hypothetical stressed loan-to-value and interest coverage ratios for each loan in KBRA’s rated universe of typical CMBS transactions. This information, along with maturity date, leasing and operating profile, property type, and jurisdiction were also considered in determining the KPO changes.

A KPO is an assessment of Outperform, Perform, or Underperform based on recent and expected collateral performance. It is generally assigned to loans approximately one year after securitisation, at the time of our first annual surveillance review, and is monitored thereafter. A KPO revision does not necessarily occur before a rating change or indicate a change is imminent.

Loans with KPO revisions to Underperform are:

• Taurus 2019-3 UK
• Taurus 2021-2 SP
• Taurus 2020-1 NL
• Taurus 2021-4 UK: United VI
