- Aaa (sf) to EUR411M Class A - 2011-1 Asset-Backed

RATINGS RATIONALE
The subject transaction is a cash securitisation of auto loans extended
to borrowers resident in Italy and is a revolving structure. The
portfolio consists of auto loans for the acquisition new or used cars
extended to both corporate and individual borrowers; there is also
a very small portion of loans to acquire boats (less than 1% of
the portfolio).
This deal benefits from several credit strengths, such as a short
initial portfolio weighted average life of 2.2 years, as
well as certain structural features such as the presence of an independent
computation manager able to calculate payment of interest if no servicer
report is available. Moody's however notes that the transaction
features a number of credit weaknesses, such as the limited historical
performance data received on the corporate portion of the portfolio,
as well as a 18-month revolving period, which increases the
potential performance volatility of the underlying portfolio. These
characteristics, amongst others, were considered in Moody's
analysis and ratings.
The rating on the notes takes into account, among other factors,
(i) an evaluation of the underlying portfolio of loans; (ii) historical
performance information; (iii) the swap agreement, under which
the swap counterparty will pay the weighted-average margin on the
notes plus an excess spread of 4.0%, on a notional
equal to the portfolio net of defaulted loans; (iv) the credit enhancement
provided by the excess spread and the cash reserve; (v) the liquidity
support available for class A notes, by way of non-amortising
3% liquidity line provided by Banco Santander S.A.
(Aa2/P-1); (vi) the provisions for the appointment of a back-up
servicer; and (vii) the legal and structural integrity of the transaction.
The V Score for this transaction is Low/Medium, which is in line
with the score assigned for the German/French Auto loan sector.
Some notable features pertain to the Medium score for "Quality of Historical
Data for the Issuer/Sponsor/ Originator" as the historical information
does not cover a full severe stress scenario and the fact that the sample
composition used to derived the portfolio historical data was not representative
of the portfolio being securitized in terms of type of debtor distribution.
The " Disclosure of Securitization Performance " has been assigned a L/M
score, in line with the Consumer loan Italian market score for this
category, given that reporting of performance data is not condensed
in one single report. For more information on V Scores, please
see the report "V Scores and Parameter Sensitivities in the Non-U.S.
Vehicle ABS Sector", published in January 2009.
In its quantitative assessment, Moody's assumed a mean default rate
of 6% for the initial portfolio and 8% for portfolios acquired
during the revolving period, with a coefficient of variation of
40% and a recovery rate of 10% as the main input parameters
for Moody's cash-flow model ABSROM. In its base case scenario,
Moody's also assumed a constant prepayment rate of 8% and a sinus-shape
timing of defaults, considering a 6-months default definition.
The principal methodologies used in this rating were The Lognormal Method
Applied to ABS Analysis, published in July 2000 and Moody's
Approach to Rating European Auto ABS published in November 2002.
Moody's Investors Service did not receive or take into account a third
party due diligence report on the underlying assets or financial instruments
in this transaction.
For rating this transaction, Moody's used ABSROM to model the cash
flows and determine the loss for each tranche. In the cash flow
model, once all of the asset side modelling assumptions are input,
the model produces a series of default scenarios that are weighted considering
the probabilities of the lognormal distribution assumed for the portfolio
defaults. In each default scenario, the corresponding loss
for each class of notes is calculated given the incoming cash flows from
the assets and the outgoing payments to third parties and noteholders.
Therefore, the expected loss or EL for each tranche is the sum product
of (i) the probability of occurrence of each default scenario; and
(ii) the loss expected in each default scenario for each tranche.
Moody's Parameter Sensitivities: Moody's principal portfolio model
inputs are Moody's cumulative default rate assumption and the recovery
rate. Moody's tested various scenarios derived from different combinations
of mean default rate (i.e. adding a stress on the expected
average portfolio quality) and recovery rate. For example,
Moody's tested for the mean default rate: 6% as base case
ranging to 8% and for the recovery rate: 10% as base
case ranging to 5%. The model sensitivity output indicated
that Class A model output would stay at Aaa in these scenarios (all other
factors being constant). Moody's Parameter Sensitivities provide
a quantitative/model indicated calculation of the number of rating notches
that a Moody's-rated structured finance security may vary if certain
input parameters would change. The analysis assumes that the deal
has not aged. It is not intended to measure how the rating of the
security might migrate over time, but rather, how the initial
rating of the security might have differed if the two parameters within
a given sector that have the greatest rating impact were varied.
The ratings address the expected loss posed to investors by the legal
final maturity of the notes. In Moody's opinion, the structure
allows for timely payment of interest and ultimate payment of principal
by legal final maturity of class A Notes. As regards class B,
in Moody's opinion, the structure allows for ultimate payment of
interest and principal by legal final maturity. Moody's ratings
address only the credit risks associated with the transaction.
Other non-credit risks have not been addressed but may have a significant
effect on yield to investors.
