KBRA downgrades the ratings of four classes of certificates and affirms all other outstanding ratings of CSAIL 2017-CX9, a $497.1 million CMBS conduit transaction. The rating actions follow a surveillance review of the transaction, which has exhibited an increase in estimated losses from three K-LOCs (21.1%), all of which are among the top 10 loans. The rating actions also reflect the transaction’s deleveraging from loan payoffs, amortization and defeasance.

As of the August 2024 remittance period, there are two specially serviced assets (15.3% of the pool balance), of which one (8.1%) is REO. KBRA identified six K-LOCs (41.3%), including the specially serviced assets. Three of the K-LOCs (21.1%) have estimated losses:

  • 300 Montgomery (6th largest, 7.2%, 22.9% estimated loss severity)
  • Center 78 (7th largest, 7.2%, 43.5%)
  • The Manhattan (8th largest, 6.6%, 20.1%)

Excluding the K-LOCs with estimated losses, the transaction’s WA KLTV is 70.1%, compared to 76.2% at last review and 80.2% at securitization. The KDSC is 3.48x, compared to 3.19x at last review and 2.93x at securitization.

Details concerning the classes with rating changes are as follows:

  • Class E to B (sf) from BB- (sf)
  • Class F to CCC (sf) from B (sf)
  • Class X-E to B (sf) from BB- (sf)
  • Class V1-E to B (sf) from BB- (sf)
