Correction: Fitch Upgrades 6, Affirms 23 Medallion RMBS Tranches; Outlook Stable
Fitch Ratings has affirmed 23 and upgraded 6 tranches of 10 Medallion Trust Series RMBS transactions. The transactions are securitisations of first-ranking Australian residential mortgages originated by Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA, AA-/Stable/F1+), and Homepath Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of CBA that originates home loans online). The list of rating actions can be found at the end of this commentary. The note balances are as of 30 November 2015.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
The affirmations reflect Fitch's view that available credit enhancement is sufficient to support the notes' current ratings, and the agency's expectations of Australia's economic conditions. The credit quality and performance of the loans in the collateral pools have remained in line with Fitch's expectations. The upgrades of the Class B notes of Medallion Trust Series 2012-1, Medallion Trust Series 2013-1, Medallion Trust Series 2013-2, Medallion Trust Series 2014-1, Medallion Trust Series 2014-1P, and Medallion Trust Series 2014-2 reflect the build-up of credit enhancement sufficient to achieve higher ratings.
At 30 November 2015, only Medallion 2007-1G, Medallion 2011-1 and Medallion 2013-2 had 30+ arrears above Fitch's 30+days Dinkum Index (3Q15: 0.9%) at 1.6%, 1.2% and 1.0%. Losses across the pools have been low with the highest at 0.04% of the original pool balances for Medallion 2007-1G and 0.02% for both Medallion 2011-1 and Medallion 2013-1. Six of the 10 transactions have had no losses to date.
Fitch's calculated weighted average loan/value (LVR) ratios ranged from 42.5% (Medallion Trust Series 2007-1G) to 58.7% (Medallion Trust Series 2015-2). All pools have benefitted from indexation, with Medallion Trust Series 2007-1G experiencing the largest improvement in LVR, to 33.2%.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Sequential pay-down has increased credit enhancement for the senior notes of each transaction, with the 'AAAsf' rated notes able to withstand many multiples of the latest reported arrears.
The ratings of the Class B notes of Medallion Trust Series 2015-2, Medallion 2015-1, Medallion 2014-2, Medallion 2013-2 and Medallion 2007-1G are dependent on the lender's mortgage insurance (LMI) providers' ratings.
Medallion Trust Series 2007-1G Class B notes' ratings are unlikely to change unless there is a significant reduction in LMI claims paid and Fitch considers that levels of excess spread are no longer adequate.
DUE DILIGENCE USAGE
No third party due diligence was provided or reviewed in relation to this rating action.
DATA ADEQUACY
Fitch conducted a file review of 10 sample loan files focusing on the underwriting procedures conducted by CBA compared to its credit policy at the time of underwriting. Fitch has checked the consistency and plausibility of the information and no material discrepancies were noted that would impact Fitch's rating analysis.
