DBRS Morningstar Takes Rating Actions on Eight Carvana Auto Receivables Trust Transactions
AutoDBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) upgraded eight ratings, confirmed 40 ratings, and discontinued five ratings as a result of repayment from eight Carvana Auto Receivables Trust transactions.
The rating actions are based on the following analytical considerations:
-- The transaction assumptions consider DBRS Morningstar’s baseline macroeconomic scenarios for rated sovereign economies, available in its commentary Baseline Macroeconomic Scenarios For Rated Sovereigns: September 2022 Update, published on September 19, 2022. These baseline macroeconomic scenarios replace DBRS Morningstar’s moderate and adverse COVID-19 pandemic scenarios, which were first published in April 2020.
-- The rating actions are the result of the collateral performance to date, DBRS Morningstar's assessment of future performance assumptions, and the increasing levels of credit enhancement.
-- The transactions’ capital structure, payment priority and form and sufficiency of available credit enhancement. The current level of hard credit enhancement and estimated excess spread are sufficient to support the DBRS Morningstar-projected remaining cumulative net loss assumption at a multiple of coverage commensurate with the ratings.
--The capabilities of Bridgecrest Credit Company, LLC as servicer for the transactions. DBRS Morningstar performed an operational review of Bridgecrest and considers them to be an acceptable servicer of auto loans.
