KBRA downgrades the ratings of four classes of certificates and affirms all other outstanding ratings for Benchmark 2021-B30, a $942.5 million CMBS conduit transaction. The rating actions follow a surveillance review of the transaction, which has exhibited a worsening in pool performance since securitization. The rating actions also reflect KBRA's estimated losses for one K-LOC (6.9% of the pool balance) and the resulting loss adjusted C/E levels.

As of the September 2025 remittance period, there are two delinquent loans (10.3% of the pool balance) and three specially serviced assets (10.8%). KBRA identified five K-LOCs (13.3%), including the specially serviced assets, one of which (6.9%) has an estimated loss. The K-LOCs are depicted in the table below:
