Approximately $33 Million of Notional Structured Securities Affected
New York, March 20, 2014 -- Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the rating of one class of CSFB
1999-C1 as follows:
Cl. A-X Certificate, Affirmed Caa3 (sf); previously
on Apr 12, 2013 Affirmed Caa3 (sf)
RATINGS RATIONALE
The rating of the IO class, Class A-X, was affirmed
based on the credit performance of its referenced classes The IO class
is the only outstanding Moody's-rated class in this transaction.
FACTORS THAT WOULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATING:
The rating of an IO class is based on the credit performance of its referenced
classes. An IO class may be upgraded based on a lower weighted
average rating factor or WARF due to an overall improvement in the credit
quality of its reference classes. An IO class may be downgraded
based on a higher WARF due to a decline in the credit quality of its reference
classes, paydowns of higher quality reference classes or non-payment
of interest. Classes that have paid off through loan paydowns or
amortization are not included in the WARF calculation. Classes
that have experienced losses are grossed up for losses and included in
the WARF calculation, even if Moody's has withdrawn the rating.
METHODOLOGY UNDERLYING THE RATING ACTION
The principal methodology used in this rating was "Moody's
Approach to Rating CMBS Large Loan/Single Borrower Transactions"
published in July 2000. Please see the Credit Policy page on www.moodys.com
for a copy of this methodology.
DESCRIPTION OF MODELS USED
Moody's review incorporated the use of the excel-based Large Loan
Model v 8.6. The large loan model derives credit enhancement
levels based on an aggregation of adjusted loan level proceeds derived
from Moody's loan level LTV ratios. Major adjustments to determining
proceeds include leverage, loan structure, property type,
and sponsorship. These aggregated proceeds are then further adjusted
for any pooling benefits associated with loan level diversity, other
concentrations and correlations.
DEAL PERFORMANCE
As of the March 17, 2014 distribution date, the transaction's
aggregate certificate balance has decreased by 97% to $33
million from $1.17 billion at securitization. The
Certificates are collateralized by five mortgage loans ranging in size
from less than 1% to 46% of the pool. The pool contains
no loans that have investment grade credit assessments. Two loans,
representing 76% of the pool have defeased and are secured by US
Government securities.
One loan, representing less than 1% of the pool, is
on the master servicer's watchlist. The watchlist includes
loans which meet certain portfolio review guidelines established as part
of the CRE Finance Council (CREFC) monthly reporting package. As
part of our ongoing monitoring of a transaction, Moody's reviews
the watchlist to assess which loans have material issues that could impact
performance.
Thirty-one loans have been liquidated from the pool, contributing
to an aggregate realized bond loss of $82 million (46% loan
loss severity on average). One loan, representing 22%
of the pool, is currently in special servicing. The specially
serviced loan, formerly known as the IBM Corporate Center ($7
million -- 22% of the pool), is secured by a 129,000
square foot suburban office property in Parsippany, New Jersey which
is suffering from poor cash flow. Moody's analysis incorporates
a high loss severity for this specially serviced loan.
The remaining loans (excluding defeased and specially serviced loans)
together represent less than 2% of the pool balance. Moody's
was provided with full year 2012 and full or partial year 2013 operating
results for 100% and 50 % of the remaining pool, respectively.
Moody's weighted average LTV for these remaining loans is 4%.
Moody's net cash flow (NCF) reflects a weighted average haircut
of 10% to the most recently available net operating income (NOI).
Moody's value reflects a weighted average capitalization rate of
9.9%.
Moody's actual and stressed conduit DSCRs for the remaining pool
are 1.68X and 38.39X, respectively. Moody's
actual DSCR is based on Moody's NCF and the loan's actual
debt service. Moody's stressed DSCR is based on Moody's
NCF and a 9.25% stressed rate applied to the loan balance.
REGULATORY DISCLOSURES
For further specification of Moody's key rating assumptions and
sensitivity analysis, see the sections Methodology Assumptions and
Sensitivity to Assumptions of the disclosure form.
Moody's did not receive or take into account a third-party
assessment on the due diligence performed regarding the underlying assets
or financial instruments related to the monitoring of this transaction
in the past six months.
The analysis includes an assessment of collateral characteristics and
performance to determine the expected collateral loss or a range of expected
collateral losses or cash flows to the rated instruments. As a
second step, Moody's estimates expected collateral losses or cash
flows using a quantitative tool that takes into account credit enhancement,
loss allocation and other structural features, to derive the expected
loss for each rated instrument.
Moody's did not use any stress scenario simulations in its analysis.
