KBRA Releases Research – KBRA CMBS Loss Compendium Update: June 2025

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA releases the June 2025 issue of the KBRA CMBS Loss Compendium, providing updated loss estimates for all 375 KBRA-rated outstanding conduit transactions. The report, together with the accompanying spreadsheet, also includes data on lifetime realized losses for 13 conduits whose ratings have been withdrawn following payoffs.

The compendium uses the following two metrics to present the loss figures: KBRA Lifetime Base Loss (KLBL), which represents our loss estimate for each transaction during its lifetime as a percentage of its original balance; and KBRA Future Base Loss (KFBL), which represents potential future losses as a percentage of outstanding deal balance as of the most recent rating action date.

As of June 2025, the average KLBL (as a % of original deal balance) reached 5.5% (ranging from 2.1% to 19.1%)—the highest recorded level to date. This compares to 5.3% in December 2024 and 5% in June 2024. The average KFBL (as a % of review date deal balance) increased to 10.9% (ranging from 2.7% to 88.4%). This marks a continued upward trend, increasing from 9.9% in December 2024 and 8.4% in June 2024. The continued upward trend in our loss estimates reflects increased losses in the more seasoned vintages and an increase in KBRA’s conduit distress rate—which includes both delinquent loans and current but specially serviced loans— increasing 340 basis points (bps) over the past year to 11.5% as of June 2025.
