KBRA Upgrades Three Ratings and Affirms All Other Ratings for MHC 2021-MHC2
24 May 2024 | New York
Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) upgrades the ratings of Classes B, C, and D and affirms all other outstanding ratings of MHC 2021-MHC2, a $230.9 CMBS single-borrower transaction. The ratings actions follow a surveillance review of the transaction, which has experienced meaningful deleveraging from principal paydown following property releases since KBRA’s last review. Although there has been a slight worsening in some credit metrics, the magnitude of the changes is not enough to warrant negative rating adjustments.
The collateral at issuance for the transaction was the borrowers’ fee simple interests in 39 manufactured housing communities (MHC) totaling 7,417 pads and 15 RV sites located across eight states. Since last review, 14 properties have been released, leaving 25 MHCs totaling 4,508 pads and six RV sites located across six states. The floating-rate loan is structured with an initial two-year term with three one-year extension options. Along with the first extension option executed effective May 9, 2023, the interest rate benchmark was converted to one-month term SOFR. The second extension option was executed May 9, 2024, and a new interest rate cap agreement was obtained with a strike rate of 4.34%. The loan requires monthly interest-only payments based on one-month SOFR plus the initial spread of 1.95% and a 0.11% adjusted SOFR replacement spread.
KBRA analyzed the cash flow for the properties utilizing information from the trustee and servicer to determine KNCF. The analysis produced a KNCF of $13.7 million and a KBRA value of $177.3 million ($39,320 per pad), representing a 7.4% decrease from securitization, net of property releases. The resulting in-trust KLTV is 130.3% compared to 140.3% at last review and 131.2% at securitization. KBRA maintains the loan’s KPO of Perform.
