KBRA upgrades the ratings of three classes and affirms all other outstanding ratings for FREMF 2018-K733, a $919.8 million CMBS multi-borrower transaction. All loans were originated in conjunction with the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation's (Freddie Mac) K-Deal program. The rating actions follow a surveillance review of the transaction, which has exhibited an improvement in pool performance since KBRA's last ratings change in August 2022. In addition, the rating actions reflect transaction deleveraging from loan defeasances, payoffs, and amortization.

As of the December 2024 remittance period, none of the loans are specially serviced or delinquent. One loan (1.4% of the pool balance) has been identified as a K-LOC, which does not have an estimated loss and is not within the top 10 loans.

The transaction's WA KLTV is 92.2% compared to 110.0% at KBRA's last ratings change in August 2022 and 114.5% at securitization. The KDSC is 2.04x, compared to 1.68x at KBRA's last ratings change and 1.61x at securitization.

Details concerning the classes with ratings changes are as follows:

  • Class A-M to AA+ (sf) from AA (sf)
  • Class B to AA- (sf) from A (sf)
  • Class C to A (sf) from BBB+ (sf)
