KBRA Affirms All Ratings for JPMCC 2015-FRR2
23 May 2024 | New York
KBRA affirms all of its outstanding ratings for JPMCC 2015-FRR2, a re-securitization of six certificates from two separate securitizations issued in conjunction with the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation’s (Freddie Mac) Capital Markets Execution (CME) program including FREMF 2014-K36 (K36) and FREMF 2014-K39 (K39), the underlying trusts. The rating actions follow a surveillance review of each of the underlying trusts, FREMF 2014-K36 which paid off in November 2023 and FREMF 2014-K39 which has exhibited improvements in pool performance since KBRA's last ratings change in August 2022. However, the magnitude of the changes does not warrant rating adjustments at this time.
JPMCC 2015-FRR2 is the re-securitization of four principal only certificates and two principal and interest certificates from FREMF 2014-K36 and FREMF 2014-K39 (the underlying trusts). The re-securitization trust certificates (trust certificates) were issued in two separate groups, with each group corresponding to one underlying trust. Cash flow from the collateral securities is used to pay the rated trust certificates from its corresponding group after required allocations for trust expenses and fees. A group’s certificates will not be entitled to amounts received by the trust for any other group. The trust certificates related to the FREMF 2014-K36 (K36) underlying trust paid off in full in November 2023. There are three remaining trust certificates related to FREMF 2014-K39. Two are entitled to principal only payments, and one class is entitled to principal and interest (P&I) payments.
The remaining P&I trust certificate (A-K39) is entitled to distributions of both principal and interest. However, the amount of interest distributable to these trust certificates on any distribution date will be equal to the amount of interest received on the interest only collateral securities from the related underlying trust for the corresponding distribution date. If no interest is received in respect of the interest only collateral securities from the related underlying trust, then the interest entitlement for the P&I trust certificate in the related group will be $0.00 for such distribution date.
In the FREMF 2014-K39 remaining underlying trust, as of the April 2024 remittance period, none of the loans are specially serviced or delinquent. In addition, 45 loans in K39 (47 properties, 60.2% of the K39 pool balance) are fully defeased. For information on the FREMF 2014-K39 (K39) underlying trust please refer to the FREMF 2014-K39 May 2024 Surveillance Report.
Rating Sensitivities
Future ratings actions will be dependent upon the ability of the remaining loans to pay off as the loans in the transaction are approaching their maturity in the near term. However, rating changes can occur for a variety of reasons that are not dependent upon maturity defaults and subsequent losses. For example, unforeseen trust expenses that cause recurring interest shortfalls to the securities could prompt negative rating changes.
