KBRA Downgrades Two Ratings and Affirms All Other Ratings for UBS 2017-C1
1 May 2026 | New York
KBRA downgrades the ratings of two classes and affirms all other outstanding ratings for UBS 2017-C1, a $640.6 million CMBS conduit transaction. The rating actions follow a surveillance review of the transaction, which has exhibited a decline in pool performance since KBRA's last ratings change in May 2025. The ratings actions also reflect KBRA's estimated losses from K-LOCs and the resulting loss-adjusted C/E levels, and consider the transaction deleveraging from loan payoffs, amortization, and defeasance.
As of the April 2026 remittance period, there are two specially serviced assets (7.5%), one of which (2.3%) is REO. KBRA identified eight K-LOCs (25.5%), including the specially serviced assets. Of the K-LOCs, three (7.6%) 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 87.3%, compared to 85.3% at KBRA's last ratings change and 95.1% at securitization. The KDSC is 1.69x, compared to 1.71x at KBRA's last ratings change and 1.79x at securitization.
Details concerning the ratings adjustments are as follows:
- Class C to BBB (sf) from A (sf)
- Class D to BB (sf) from BBB (sf)
