Morningstar DBRS Confirms Credit Ratings on Four Transactions on One Oasis LLC Transaction and Three Libra Solutions LLC Transactions
OtherDBRS, Inc. (Morningstar DBRS) confirmed the credit ratings on all classes of securities included in one Oasis LLC transaction and three Libra Solutions, LLC transactions.
The credit rating confirmations are based on the following analytical considerations:
-- The transaction assumptions consider Morningstar DBRS’ baseline macroeconomic scenarios for rated sovereign economies, available in its commentary “Baseline Macroeconomic Scenarios For Rated Sovereigns: December 2023 Update,” published on December 19, 2023. These baseline macroeconomic scenarios replace Morningstar DBRS’ moderate and adverse COVID-19 pandemic scenarios, which were first published in April 2020.
-- Credit enhancement in the form of overcollateralization, a liquidity reserve, and excess funds. The credit enhancement levels have been rapidly building up since closing due to the turbo structure of the transactions.
-- Overall performance of the transactions has been in line with expectations.
-- The Company’s experience as an originator in the litigation and medical receivable business.
-- Insurance companies often repay advances. While there is exposure to the insurance industry in this transaction, DBRS Morningstar does not expect the economic stress caused by the coronavirus to adversely affect the insurance carrier's ability to pay in the short to medium term.
