KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to BBCMS 2019-C3

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) is pleased to announce the assignment of
Preliminary ratings to 16 classes of BBCMS 2019-C3 (see ratings list
below), a $936.6 million CMBS conduit transaction collateralized by 50
commercial mortgage loans secured by 517 properties.


The collateral properties are located in 39 states and the District of
Columbia, with two states, California (12.9%) and Florida (10.0%)
representing more than 10.0% of the pool balance. The pool has exposure
to all of the major property types, with five types representing 10.0%
or more of the pool balance: office (26.6%), lodging (19.9%),
self-storage (13.4%), retail (12.3%), and Industrial (12.1%). The loans
have principal balances ranging from $2.6 million to $57.2 million for
the largest loan in the pool, SSTII Self Storage Portfolio II (6.1%),
which is secured by 10 SmartStop-branded self-storage facilities that
together comprise 800,961 sf or 6,903 units. The properties are located
in five states within a mix of secondary (41.1% of base rent), and
tertiary (58.9%) markets. The five largest loans, which also include,
Vanguard Portfolio (5.9%), GNL Industrial Portfolio (5.2%), SWVP
Portfolio (4.8%), and Renaissance Fort Lauderdale (4.5%) represent 26.5%
of the initial pool balance, while the top 10 loans represent 45.4%.


KBRA’s analysis of the transaction incorporated our multi-borrower
rating process that begins with our analysts’ evaluation of the
underlying collateral properties’ financial and operating performance,
which determine KBRA’s estimate of sustainable net cash flow (KNCF) and
KBRA value using our U.S.
CMBS Property Evaluation Methodology. On an aggregate basis,
KNCF was 6.3% less than the issuer cash flow. KBRA capitalization rates
were applied to each asset’s KNCF to derive values that were, on an
aggregate basis, 38.4% less than third party appraisal values. The pool
has an in-trust KLTV of 98.6% and an all-in KLTV of 107.3%. The model
deploys rent and occupancy stresses, probability of default regressions,
and loss given default calculations to determine losses for each
collateral loan that are then used to assign our credit ratings.

2019-C3 published at www.kbra.com.
