Moody's downgrades and places on review TRUP CDOs exposed to US banks
157 tranches affected across 44 Trust Preferred CDOs
New York, August 14, 2008 -- Moody's has downgraded 77 tranches, all of which remain on
review for further possible downgrade, across 25 Trust Preferred
(TRUP) CDOs. Moody's also placed on Review for Possible Downgrade
an additional 80 tranches in TRUP CDOs, including 50 Aaa tranches
and 30 Aa rated tranches.
The downgrades are prompted by the exposure of these TRUP CDOs to trust
preferred securities issued by five banks taken over by their regulators
in recent months. This rating action reflects Moody's assumption
that that there will be zero recovery on the trust preferred securities
issued by these banks. In addition, Moody's assumes recoveries
will be low on some of the other trust preferred securities currently
deferring coupon payments in the collateral pools backing these securitizations.
While historically many banks that have deferred payment on trust preferred
securities have ultimately resumed payment, Moody's expects
many banks deferring in the current environment are unlikely to become
current again.
The initiation of the additional review for possible downgrades reflects
a general concern that the risk of deferrals is increasing for bank issuers
of trust preferred securities. The specific TRUP CDO tranches placed
on review for downgrade were selected because: (1) at least 3%
of their collateral pools were deferring coupons and (2) preliminary testing
revealed their ratings could be affected by a modest increase in the pool-wide
default probability assumption used for trust preferred securities that
are currently performing.
Moody's review will focus on the implications of adjustments that may
be necessary in pool-wide default probability and asset correlation
assumptions to reflect the current environment. In addition,
Moody's will seek to identify which securitization may have unusually
high concentration exposures to banks in regions in which real estate
prices have depreciated the most. In light of these revised assumptions,
Moody's anticipates further pressure on TRUP CDO ratings,
especially the mezzanine and subordinated tranches.
Since March of 2000, Moody's has rated 103 trust preferred
(TRUP) CDOs, representing close to $55 billion, backed
by small and medium sized US bank, insurance, and REIT issuers.
Seventy percent of these TRUP CDOs are backed by US banks.
