DBRS Morningstar Takes Rating Actions on Three CCG Receivables Trust Transactions

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) confirmed seven ratings and upgraded three ratings on the following classes of securities included in three CCG Receivables Trust transactions:

CCG Receivables Trust 2018-1:
-- Class B Notes, confirmed at AAA (sf)
-- Class C Notes, upgraded to AA (high) (sf) from A (low) (sf)

CCG Receivables Trust 2019-1:
-- Class A-2 Notes, confirmed at AAA (sf)

CCG Receivables Trust 2020-1:

-- Class A-2 Notes, confirmed at AAA (sf)
-- Class B Notes, confirmed at AA (sf)
-- Class C Notes, confirmed at A (sf)
-- Class D Notes, confirmed at BBB (sf)

The rating actions are based on the following analytical considerations:

-- The transaction assumptions consider DBRS Morningstar’s set of macroeconomic scenarios for select economies related to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), available in its commentary “Global Macroeconomic Scenarios: March 2021 Update,” published on March 17, 2021. DBRS Morningstar initially published macroeconomic scenarios on April 16, 2020, which have been regularly updated. The scenarios were last updated on March 17, 2021, and are reflected in DBRS Morningstar’s rating analysis.

-- The assumptions consider the moderate and adverse macroeconomic scenarios outlined in the commentary, with the moderate scenario serving as the primary anchor for current ratings. The moderate scenario factors in increasing success in containment during the first half of 2021, enabling the continued relaxation of restrictions.

-- The currently available hard credit enhancement in the form of overcollateralization, subordination (as applicable), and amounts of deposit in the cash reserve account, as well as the change in the level of protection afforded by each form of credit enhancement since the closing of each transaction.

-- The collateral performance to date and DBRS Morningstar's assessment of future performance, including upward revisions to the expected cumulative net loss assumptions that take into account the increased stress commensurate with the moderate macroeconomic scenario.

-- The relative benefit from obligor and geographic diversification of collateral pools.

-- The transaction parties’ capabilities with regard to originating, underwriting, and servicing.
