KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to Momnt Technologies Trust 2023-1

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to three classes of notes issued by Momnt Technologies Trust 2023-1 (“Momnt 2023-1”), an asset-backed securitization collateralized by a pool of home improvement loans. This transaction represents Momnt Technologies Inc.’s inaugural 144A ABS securitization.

Momnt 2023-1 will issue three classes of notes totaling $124.4 million, collateralized by approximately $150.9 million of home improvement loans, consisting of an aggregate principal balance of the initial receivable pool of approximately $90.1 million plus an expected prefunding account balance to be deposited on the closing date of approximately $60.8 million.

The transaction has initial credit enhancement levels ranging from 35.00% for the Class A notes, to 18.50% for the Class C notes. The target enhancement levels for the Class A notes and Class E notes are 39.00% and 22.50%, respectively.

KBRA applied its Consumer Loan ABS Global Rating Methodology, as well as its Global Structured Finance Counterparty Methodology and ESG Global Rating Methodology as part of its analysis of the static pool data and the underlying collateral pool and stressed the capital structure based upon its stress case cash flow assumptions. KBRA considered its operational review of Momnt, as well as several business updates with the Company since that time. Operative agreements and legal opinions will be reviewed prior to closing.
