Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) assigned its final ratings to seven classes of FREMF 2012-K709 mortgage pass-through certificates and three classes of Freddie Mac structured pass-through certificates (SPCs), Series K-709, a $1.24 billion CMBS multi-borrower transaction. Concurrently, we have withdrawn our preliminary ratings on the certificates, which were assigned on May 30, 2012 (see our ratings listed below).
The transaction is collateralized by 54 fixed rate commercial mortgage loans that are secured by 54 multifamily properties across 19 states. The top five loan exposures represent 28.4% of the pool and the top ten represent 41.8%. The properties are located in 19 states, and the two largest state concentrations are Texas (17.7%) and California (12.0%).
KBRA's analysis of the transaction incorporated our multi-borrower rating process that begins with our analysts' evaluation of underlying collateral properties' financial and operating performance, which determine KBRA's estimate of sustainable net cash flow (KNCF) and KBRA value. The analysis included a detailed evaluation of the underlying collateral properties' financial and operating performance using our CMBS Property Evaluation Guidelines to determine Kroll Net Cash Flow (KNCF). The resulting KNCF for the collateral properties was 2.6% below issuer net cash flow on a weighted average basis. KBRA capitalization rates were applied to each asset's KCNF to derive individual property values that, on an aggregate basis, were 33.8% less than third party appraisal values. The weighted average KBRA capitalization rate for the transaction was 8.3%.
The model deploys rent and occupancy stresses, probability of default regressions, and loss given default calculations to determine losses for each collateral loan that were used by KBRA to assign our credit ratings for this transaction.
