Fitch U.S. CMBS Newsletter: CREL CDO Delinquencies Drop Again

 
 NEW YORK, NY--Continued  resolutions and extensions of non-performing loans resulted in a second-straight  decline  for U.S. CREL CDO Delinquencies, according to the latest  index  results from Fitch Ratings.

The full results are featured in this week’s U.S. CMBS newsletter.

Delinquencies fell to 12.2% in November from 12.8% in October.

 ‘Though CREL CDO  delinquencies  have  lingered  between 12% and 13% over the last year, realized  losses  have  continued  to  accumulate,’  said  Director  Stacey McGovern. 

Approximately  $890  million  (or  4%  of  total  collateral) of realized  losses  have taken place over the last 12 months. 

 ‘Defaulted and credit risk assets continue to be resolved with realized losses to the CDOs and corresponding reduction in credit enhancement to all classes.’

Nevertheless,  CREL  CDO  investment  grade  ratings are expected to remain relatively stable while some volatility in the below investment grade rated tranches is likely.

New  delinquencies  in  November  included  only one new term default while
seven delinquent assets were removed, including:

--Four extended matured balloons;
--Two loan interests disposed of at a loss; and
--One loan payoff.
