OREANDA-NEWS. Fitch takes rating actions on Ford Credit Auto Lease Trust 2014-A. A full list of rating actions follows at the end of this press release.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The affirmation of the outstanding class A notes and the upgrade of the class B and C notes reflect increased hard credit enhancement (CE) for all classes since close, and credit and residual performance inside of Fitch's initial expectations. The Stable Outlooks on the A and B notes reflects Fitch's expectation that the notes will remain sufficiently enhanced to cover stressed credit and residual loss levels consistent with an 'AAAsf' rating. The Positive Outlook on the class C notes reflects a potential upgrade in the next one to two years.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Unanticipated increases in the frequency of defaults or deterioration in vehicle values could produce loss levels higher than the current expectations and impact available loss coverage. Lower loss coverage could impact ratings and Rating Outlooks, depending on the extent of the decline in coverage.

To date, the transaction has exhibited credit and residual performance inside Fitch's initial expectations with rising loss coverage. Due to the growing credit enhancement levels and increased loss coverage afforded to the notes, a substantial deterioration in used vehicle values would have to occur to have a negative impact on the updated ratings.

No third party due diligence was provided or reviewed in relation to this rating action.
