OREANDA-NEWS. Fitch Ratings has affirmed both outstanding classes of the State of Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism Green Energy Market Securitization Bonds 2014 Series A at 'AAAsf'. A full list of rating actions follows at the end of this release.

KEY RATING DRIVERS
The transaction is performing within expectations, with levels of outstanding principal in-line with their targeted amortization schedules and no shortfalls in the capital subaccount. Additionally, the true-up mechanism continues to provide adequate credit support for all outstanding classes.

RATING SENSITIVITIES
As part of its initial rating sensitivity, Fitch conducted a break the bond case which provides an alternative means by which to measure the potential effects of rapid, significant declines in customer count while capping the residential GIF at 20% of the total residential customer bill. This analysis determines the maximum level of customer decline that would cause a default in required payments on the securitization or cause the GIF to exceed 20% of the total residual customer bill. Despite this severe decline, due to the true-up mechanism, GIFs are able to pay all debt service by the legal final maturity date.
