OREANDA-NEWS. Fitch Ratings has issued a presale report on Real Estate Asset Liquidity Trust's (REAL-T) commercial mortgage pass-through certificates, series 2015-2.

Fitch expects to rate the transaction and assign Rating Outlooks as follows:

--$180,162,000 class A-1 'AAAsf'; Outlook Stable;
--$146,865,000 class A-2 'AAAsf'; Outlook Stable;
--$9,452,000 class B 'AAsf'; Outlook Stable;

--$3,780,000 class F 'BBsf'; Outlook Stable;
--$3,781,000 class G 'Bsf'; Outlook Stable.

All currencies are in Canadian dollars (CAD).

Fitch does not expect to rate the $378,066,883 (notional balance) interest-only class X or the non-offered $7,561,883 class H certificate.

The certificates represent the beneficial ownership in the trust, primary assets of which are 41 loans secured by 47 commercial properties located in Canada having an aggregate principal balance of approximately $378.1 million as of the cutoff date. The loans were originated or acquired by Royal Bank of Canada and IMC Limited Partnership.

Fitch reviewed a comprehensive sample of the transaction's collateral, including site inspections on 73.5% of the properties, by balance, cash flow analysis of 100%, and asset summary reviews on 100% of the pool.

The transaction has a Fitch stressed debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) of 1.15x, a Fitch stressed loan-to-value (LTV) of 106%, and a Fitch debt yield of 8.84%. Fitch's aggregate net cash flow represents a variance of 3.2% to issuer cash flows.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

Fitch Leverage: The pool has a Fitch DSCR and LTV of 1.15x and 106%, respectively. This represents similar leverage as the 2014 average for Canadian multiborrower deals, which had a DSCR and LTV of 1.13x and 104.8%, respectively.

Significant Amortization: The pool has a weighted average amortization term of 26.8 years, which represents faster amortization than U.S. conduit loans. There are no partial or full interest-only loans. The pool's maturity balance represents a paydown of 24.2% of the closing balance, which represents significantly more paydown than the respective 2014 averages for Canadian and U.S. multiborrower deals of 16.6% and 12%.

Canadian Loan Attributes and Historical Performance: The ratings reflect strong historical Canadian commercial real estate loan performance, including a low delinquency rate and low historical losses of less than 0.1%, as well as positive loan attributes, such as short amortization schedules, recourse to the borrower, and additional guarantors. For more information on prior Canadian CMBS securitizations, see Fitch Research on 'Canadian CMBS Default and Loss Study,' dated October 2013, available on Fitch's website at www.fitchratings.com.

Loans with Recourse: Of the pool, 64.2% of the loans feature full or partial recourse to the borrowers and/or sponsors, which is in line with the 63% from the recent IMSCI 2015-6 transaction, but below the 82.6% from the REAL-T 2015-1 transaction. In Fitch's analysis, the probability of default is reduced for loans with recourse.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

For this transaction, Fitch's net cash flow (NCF) was 10.9% below the most recent year's net operating income (NOI; for properties for which a full-year NOI was provided, excluding properties that were stabilizing during this period). The following rating sensitivities describe how the ratings would react to further NCF declines below Fitch's NCF. The implied rating sensitivities are only indicative of some of the potential outcomes and do not consider other risk factors to which the transaction is exposed. Stressing additional risk factors may result in different outcomes. Furthermore, the implied ratings, after the further NCF stresses are applied, are more akin to what the ratings would be at deal issuance had those further stressed NCFs been in place at that time.

Fitch evaluated the sensitivity of the ratings assigned to REAL-T 2015-2 certificates and found that the transaction displays average sensitivity to further declines in NCF. In a scenario in which NCF declined a further 20% from Fitch's NCF, a downgrade of the senior 'AAAsf' certificates to 'A+sf' could result. In a more severe scenario, in which NCF declined a further 30% from Fitch's NCF, a downgrade of the senior 'AAAsf' certificates to 'BBBsf' could result. The presale report includes a detailed explanation of additional stresses and sensitivities on page 10.
