OREANDA-NEWS. Fitch Ratings has affirmed all classes of Prudential Commercial Mortgage Trust 2003-PWR1 (PCMT 2003-PWR1) commercial mortgage pass-through certificates. A detailed list of rating actions follows at the end of this press release.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The affirmations of the distressed ratings indicate the weak performance of the remaining loan and already incurred losses. One loan remains in the pool, which is scheduled to mature in 2020.

As of the September 2015 distribution date, the pool's aggregate principal balance has been reduced by 97% to \\$29 million from \\$960 million at issuance. Interest shortfalls are currently affecting classes G through P. The trust has incurred 5.2% in realized losses.

The remaining loan in the pool, Brandywine Office Building & Garage loan (100% of the pool), is secured by a 405,844 square foot (sf) office building with a 660 parking space garage located in Wilmington, DE. The loan previously underwent a modification in June 2011, which included a \\$15.1 million write-off of principal; an interest rate reduction with periodic rate increases until December 2015; and interest-only payments until maturity May 2020. The property's performance has continued to suffer due to declining occupancy and deteriorating cash flows. Occupancy is 37.4% as of June 2015.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Ratings on class F and G are not likely to change unless performance of the asset improves significantly or upon disposition of the asset as losses are realized.
