Fitch Upgrades Foncaixa Consumo 1, FTA's Class B Notes; Affirms Class A
EUR1.06bn Class A (ISIN ES0337504007): affirmed at 'Asf'; Outlook Stable
EUR462m Class B (ISIN ES0337504015): upgraded to 'BBB-sf' from 'BB+sf'; Outlook Stable
The transaction is a securitisation of unsecured loans and real estate-secured consumer loans originated Caixabank SA (BBB/Positive/F2).
KEY RATING DRIVERS
The upgrade of the class B notes reflects the transaction's stable performance and the build-up of credit enhancement to 10% from 5% since closing in November 2011 as a result of deleveraging. The class B notes are protected by the reserve fund, which is fully funded at EUR154m. A second protection is provided by a 1% excess spread guaranteed by the swap.
Credit enhancement of the class A notes has also increased to 40% from 20% since closing due to the amortisation of the notes. The notes are capped at 'Asf' due to the counterparty exposure to Caixabank SA acting as the issuer account bank, swap counterparty, servicer and paying agent. Counterparty triggers of 'BBB'/'F2' provide sufficient comfort to support the current rating 'Asf' of the class A notes, although these triggers are marginally outside the 'BBB+'/'F2' definition as per the agency's counterparty criteria.
As expected by the amortisation profile of the loans, the concentration of real estate secured loans has increased to 93% as of 30 June 2015 from 70% at closing. Lengthy recovery periods are expected due to the high proportion of real estate secured loans in the portfolio. Defaults are in line with Fitch base case expectations. As of 30 June 2015 cumulative defaults were 2.3% while base case lifetime defaults remain at 5.7%.
The portfolio remains granular with the top 20% obligors representing 0.77% of the outstanding portfolio as of 30 June 2015.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Expected impact on the note rating of increased defaults and reduced recoveries:
Class A: current Rating 'Asf'
Increase base case defaults by 25%: 'Asf', reduce base case recoveries by 25%: 'Asf'
Class B: current Rating 'BBB-sf'
Increase base case defaults by 25%: 'BBB-sf', reduce base case recoveries by 25%: 'BBB-sf'
