Moody's also affirms the ratings of 12 Spanish multicedulas
London, 02 November 2015 -- Moody's Investors Service announced today that it has upgraded the ratings
of twenty two series of Spanish multi-issuer covered bonds (SMICBs)
and affirmed the ratings of twelve series. Moody's has also
upgraded the rating of one subordinated loan.
Please click this link http://www.moodys.com/viewresearchdoc.aspx?docid=PBS_SF420182
for the list of affected credit ratings.
This list is an integral part of this press release and identifies each
affected issuer.
RATINGS RATIONALE
Today's rating actions on the SMICBs follow Moody's assignment of a new
CR Assessment for one issuer whose credit quality has been determined
through a credit estimate. The CB anchor for this issuer is the
CR Assessment plus one notch.
This issuer participates in twenty four series with an average exposure
of 15.0% and a maximum exposure of 30.8%.
As part of its base case, Moody's has stressed large concentrations
of single obligors bearing a credit estimate as described in "Updated
Approach to the Usage of Credit Estimates in Rated Transactions,"
published in October 2009 and available at http://www.moodys.com/viewresearchdoc.aspx?docid=PBC_120461.
Today's actions also take into account updated information on the underlying
mortgage pools of participating issuers.
Moody's has upgraded the rating of twenty three series (including one
subordinated loan) because of an improvement in the expected loss of the
SMICBs (as defined below) since the last rating actions in June 2015 and
July 2015.
Moody's has affirmed the ratings of twelve series where there is no change
in the expected loss.
Loss and Cash Flow Analysis:
The ratings assigned by Moody's address the expected loss posed to investors.
SMICBs can be considered as a repackaging of a pool of Spanish covered
bonds. Each SMICB is backed by a group of Spanish covered bonds
(Cédulas Hipotecarias, CHs) that are bought by a Fund,
which in turn issues SMICBs. Moody's rating for any SMICB is determined
after applying a three-step process:
First step: Calculating the Expected Loss (EL) for the Cédulas
backing the SMICB
The main driver of an SMICB's EL is the credit strength of the Cédulas
backing the SMICB. If the Cédulas perform, the SMICBs
will be fully repaid. Cédulas are rated according to our
published "Moody's Approach to Rating Covered Bonds."
Second step: Calculating the EL for the SMICBs
In the absence of any credit support (for example, such as a reserve
fund), the EL of the SMICB is determined directly from the weighted-average
EL (weighted by their outstanding amounts) of the Cédulas backing
the SMICB. Where the SMICB benefits from a reserve fund,
the SMICB may achieve a lower EL than the weighted-average EL of
the Cédulas backing the SMICB. The EL of the SMICB is the
average EL of the single tranche ranking senior to the subordinated loan
which originally funded the reserve fund. The loss distribution
is determined by a single factor model which is numerically solved through
a Monte Carlo simulation.
Third step: Calculating the probability of default for the SMICB
or assessing the sufficiency of the Liquidity Facility (LF) for the SMICB
Under the SMICB rating approach, Moody's gives value to two
primary liquidity support mechanisms, which improve the probability
of timely payment if any Cédula backing the SMICB fails to make
a payment on a scheduled payment date. These are: i) the
maturity extension on the SMICB, which should ensure that a period
of at least two years is available following any default on the Cédula.
This period would be available to realise the value of the assets backing
the Cédulas; and ii) a LF that is available to cover interest
payments on the SMICB. Under the SMICB rating method, the
LF for an SMICB is sized to improve the timely payment of the SMICB to
a level commensurate with the rating of the SMICBs. The size of
the LF is primarily determined by: i) the probability of default
of the Cédulas backing the SMCIB; ii) the correlation between
these Cédulas; and iii) the level of concentration to the
different Cédulas backing the SMCIB. However, regardless
of the size of the LF, Moody's would limit the maximum rating
of the SMICB by applying its Timely Payment Indicator (TPI) methodology
for covered bonds. The TPI framework limits the rating uplift that
SMICBs may achieve over the weighted average CB anchor of the underlying
Cédulas' issuers and may constrain the final covered bond
rating to a lower level than the maximum potential rating under the EL
Model. The TPI used to assess the maximum rating uplift over the
weighted average CB anchor of the underlying Cédulas' issuers
for each SMICB is typically two levels above the one assigned to the underlying
Cédulas.
Methodologies Underlying the Rating Action:
The principal methodology used in these ratings was "Moody's Approach
to Rating SF CDOs" published in July 2015. Please see the
Credit Policy page on www.moodys.com for a copy of this
methodology.
Factors that would lead to an upgrade or downgrade of the ratings:
The robustness of a structured multi-issuer covered bond rating
largely depends on the underlying issuers' credit strength as reflected
in their CB anchors, and the support provided by the liquidity facility
and reserve fund, if any.
A multiple-notch downgrade of the SMICBs might occur in certain
limited circumstances, such as (i) a sovereign downgrade negatively
affecting the issuers' CB anchor and the TPI; (ii) a multiple-notch
lowering of the CB anchor or (iii) a material reduction of the value of
the cover pool.
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 describes its loss and cash flow analysis in the section
"Ratings Rationale" of this press release.
Moody's did not use any stress scenario simulations in its analysis.
For ratings issued on a program, series or category/class of debt,
this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation
to each rating of a subsequently issued bond or note of the same series
or category/class of debt or pursuant to a program for which the ratings
are derived exclusively from existing ratings in accordance with Moody's
rating practices. For ratings issued on a support provider,
this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation
to the rating action on the support provider and in relation to each particular
rating action for securities that derive their credit ratings from the
support provider's credit rating. For provisional ratings,
this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation
to the provisional rating assigned, and in relation to a definitive
rating that may be assigned subsequent to the final issuance of the debt,
in each case where the transaction structure and terms have not changed
prior to the assignment of the definitive rating in a manner that would
have affected the rating. For further information please see the
ratings tab on the issuer/entity page for the respective issuer on www.moodys.com.
For any affected securities or rated entities receiving direct credit
support from the primary entity(ies) of this rating action, and
whose ratings may change as a result of this rating action, the
