KBRA Downgrades Nine Ratings, Affirms One Rating, and Withdraws Two Ratings for COMM 2015-CCRE22
22 Aug 2025 | New York
KBRA downgrades the ratings of nine classes and affirms the rating of one class for COMM 2015-CCRE22, a $305.7 million CMBS transaction. In addition, KBRA withdraws the ratings of two classes following the reduction of their respective principal and notional balances to zero, as reflected in the August 2025 remittance report. Simultaneously, KBRA also removes all classes from Watch Downgrade (DN), where they were placed on May 27, 2025. The rating actions follow a surveillance review of the transaction, which has experienced an increase in interest shortfalls and an increase in nonrecoverable loans since the last review. Interest shortfalls are affecting all remaining classes and are likely to continue accumulating as the servicer works toward resolving specially serviced assets.
As of the August 2025 remittance period, there are 10 specially serviced loans (67.4%), including three loans in foreclosure (22.2%), six non-performing matured balloon loans (22.6%), and one performing matured balloon loan (22.5%). KBRA identified 11 K-LOCs (87.0%), including the specially serviced assets. Of the K-LOCs, five loans (51.0%) have estimated losses. The K-LOCs are depicted in the table below:
Excluding the K-LOCs with estimated losses, the transaction's WA KLTV is 106.5%, compared to 105.2% at KBRA's last ratings change in August 2024 and 108.7% at KBRA's previous ratings change August 2023. The KDSC is 1.51x, compared to 1.59x at KBRA's last ratings change and 1.55x at KBRA's previous ratings change.
