Inside Global ABCP: Expanding Portfolios Underpin Steady Issuance, Though Market Uncertainties Persist

Since the first quarter of the year, existing U.S. sponsors have continued to expand their current asset portfolios, and new participants have entered the market. By year-end, we expect U.S. ABCP outstanding to reach $250 billion-$255 billion. At the same time, while recession concerns have intensified since first quarter, we expect our ratings on outstanding ABCP to remain stable amid slightly weakening performance of the underlying assets.

In EMEA, we have observed continued market interest from new conduit sponsors, as well as an increase in issuances from existing programs we rate. Issuance volume at the end of the first six months was just short of $100 billion, and we expect that moderate growth will continue under our base-case forecast; however, significant uncertainties surrounding Brexit could put a damper on new issuance.

In Australia, total ABCP outstanding in June 2019 decreased to A$342 million from A$400 million six months earlier, as ABCP programs continued winding down, and we expect issuance to remain subdued for the remainder of 2019. Overall economic risks in Australia are broadly steady, but tilted to the downside. In Japan, after some growth last year, total ABCP outstanding in June 2019 declined 7% to ¥213.81 billion since December 2018. Utilization rates in Japan have been low, compared to global trends, likely because of the current lending environment and availability of credit.

U.S.: Stable Ratings And Moderate Rise In Issuance Expected Through Year-End

For U.S. ABCP through year-end 2019, we expect a moderate increase in volume, slightly weakening credit performance of the underlying assets, and stable ratings. According to the Fed, U.S. ABCP outstanding stood at $242.7 billion as of Oct. 16, 2019, and we expect it to increase to $250 billion-$255 billion by December. U.S. ABCP outstanding rated by S&P Global Ratings has grown 6% to $203.3 billion as of June 2019 from a 2016 low of $191.9 billion.

Since first quarter, we have rated ABCP issued by three new programs: Columbia Funding Co. LLC (first half of 2019), Collateralized Commercial Paper V Co. LLC and Lime Funding LLC (second half of 2019). We also lowered our rating on one program, White Plains Capital Co. LLC, and we withdrew our rating on Ridgefield Funding Co. LLC Series B and those on the extendible ABCP notes issued by Chariot Funding LLC and Jupiter Securitization Co. LLC.

We expect stable ratings for U.S ABCP in a recession scenario

Recession concerns have intensified since first quarter, and S&P Global Ratings economists have raised the odds of recession to 30%-35% due to the ongoing trade war, weaker global growth, and geopolitical instability. Against this backdrop, the Fed cut interest rates another 25 basis points to 1.75%-2.00%, with more easing expected this year (see "Rising Recession Risk Adds To Trade, Rate Uncertainty," published Sept. 30, 2019, "U.S. Business Cycle Barometer: Recession Risk Rises," published Aug. 15, 2019, and "Global Growth Suffers As Secondary Trade Effects Go From Risk To Reality," published July 2, 2019). In a recession scenario, we expect stable rating performance for U.S ABCP based on the high-investment-grade ratings on bank sponsors and extensive experience of nonbank sponsors. ABCP conduits are actively managed, and our ratings on the related ABCP are based on our ratings on the liquidity or credit support providers and the credit quality of the assets funded in the programs (see "When The Cycle Turns: How Would Global Structured Finance Fare In A Downturn?" published Sept. 4, 2019).

Issuance is dampened by cheap deposit funding and the yield curve

In recent years, banks, which typically serve as sponsors and administrators for ABCP programs, have generally reported low to mid-single-digit loan growth and have had fairly robust levels of deposits relative to loans. Therefore, their need for non-deposit funding, including ABCP, has been limited. The Fed's recent loosening of monetary policy, including quantitative easing, injected more liquidity into the system and likely continued to dampen ABCP growth. Besides investor and funding diversification, we do not expect a significant change in incentives for short-term funding until we begin to see the yield curve steepen.

Pools include diversified collateral

We continue to observe diversification of collateral in asset pools. In addition to staple assets--such as auto loans and leases, credit cards, and trade receivables--programs include servicer advances, contract payment rights, marketplace loans, wireless handset devices, and repurchase agreements, among others.

LIBOR phaseout has no impact on existing ABCP

The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is expected to be phased out by the end of 2021, and market participants continue to discuss the challenges of implementing a replacement benchmark rate, which would have an impact on both existing and new securitized transactions that are indexed to LIBOR. At this time, there has been no consensus from market participants on the transition. In the U.S., however, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is being considered as an alternative rate for transactions while adoption of standardized fallback language evolves. Although the majority of ABCP issuances have a fixed rate, some floating-rate ABCP are indexed to LIBOR. For collateral backing ABCP that uses LIBOR as the referenced rate, the potential basis mismatch between assets and liabilities is mitigated by the rollover concept, or when the program issues new short-term debt to repay the maturing short-term debt to remain continuously invested in asset pools. In case of any ABCP market disruption, alternative rates such as the Fed funds rate or prime rate are included in the documentation as well. ABCP generally benefits from a committed liquidity facility to make timely payment of interest and principal on maturing ABCP in the event the conduit is unable to issue new notes. As a result, we do not currently expect any impact from the phaseout of LIBOR on existing ABCP ratings, and we will continue to monitor the transition of LIBOR to alternative reference rates.

ESG-related inquiries are growing

We have observed increased interest in programs backed by assets viewed as having strong environmental, social, and governance (ESG) credentials. In our view, ESG credit factors in structured finance--while not new--are evolving, and some hurdles need to be overcome, including a lack of capital market standard or market consensus of the definition of ESG and "green," confidentiality issues, inconsistent disclosures and data reporting, and varying views on how to score and weigh ESG factors. For example, an ESG evaluation of the sponsor or administrator could be different from an ESG evaluation of the asset or seller, or the seller's obligors. In addition, strong ESG credentials do not necessarily indicate strong creditworthiness, which is the core factor in our credit rating analysis. Specific to ABCP programs and linked ratings, changes in corporate and bank ratings, including due to ESG credit factors, can affect programs that rely on the affected entities (see "ESG Credit Factors In Structured Finance," published Sept. 19, 2019).

S&P Global Ratings rated three new programs to date in 2019

Total S&P Global Ratings-rated ABCP outstanding in the U.S. from 2014 to 2019 has remained relatively steady at $191.9 billion-$216.5 billion (see chart 1). Of the $203.3 billion outstanding as of June 2019, approximately 78% had a short-term 'A-1' rating, 21.7% was rated 'A-1+', and 0.3% was rated 'A-2'.

ABCP outstanding for eight partially supported programs from Royal Bank of Canada, JP Morgan, and Citibank total $54.4 billion and make up 27% of the total S&P Global Ratings-rated U.S. ABCP market (see Appendix). The remaining 38 programs in the U.S. are fully supported and total about $148.9 billion, or 73% of the S&P Global Ratings-rated U.S. ABCP market (see Appendix).

To date in 2019, we have rated ABCP issued by three new fully supported conduits: Columbia Funding Co. LLC, a conduit with a unique structure that uses proceeds derived from a master repurchase agreement and a total return swap to purchase U.S. Treasuries and a loan to banks to hold as high-quality liquid assets; Collateralized Commercial Paper V Co. LLC, a conduit that uses proceeds to make separate loan agreements secured by financial assets pledged as underlying collateral; and Lime Funding LLC, a conduit that uses proceeds to provide financing to clients via repurchase agreements and to finance traditional assets such as trade receivables, auto loans and leases, franchise loans, mortgage warehouses, and others (see "New Issue: Columbia Funding Co. LLC," published June 24, 2019, "Collateralized Commercial Paper V Co. LLC Notes Assigned 'A-1 (sf)' Rating," published July 26, 2019, and "Lime Funding LLC Notes Assigned 'A-1 (sf)' Ratings, published Oct. 10, 2019).

We withdrew our ratings on Ridgefield Funding Co. LLC Series B, and we lowered our rating to 'A-2' from 'A-1' on the ABCP issued by White Plains Capital Co. LLC due to our recent downgrade of liquidity provider Nomura Securities Co. Ltd. to 'A-/A-2' from 'A/A-1'. Both programs are managed by Guggenheim Treasury Services LLC (see "Rating Lowered On White Plains Capital Co. LLC's Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Notes," published Aug. 9, 2019).

U.S. dollar-denominated issuances continue to account for most of the ABCP outstanding

U.S. dollar-denominated ABCP issuances continued to account for the majority of the ABCP outstanding in the U.S., with 98% denominated in U.S dollars, while the rest of the issuances were denominated in euros and British pound sterling (see chart 2).

Key trends in asset composition and credit risk

We consider credit risk an important factor in partially supported programs, which rely on sponsors to provide liquidity, but the underlying assets cover the credit risk, typically in the form of credit enhancement.

Under a recession scenario, we expect relatively stable credit performance for investment-grade ratings on the underlying assets, and if asset quality deteriorates, conduit sponsors may post programwide credit enhancement or remove a transaction from the conduit.

For ABS, we expect stable rating performance, with the risk of downgrades and defaults higher for classes assigned speculative-grade ratings. As of June 2019, traditional assets--such as auto loans and leases, credit cards, student loans, consumer loans, and equipment loans and leases--made up about 76% of collateral in partially supported programs (see Appendix). The following sections provide a breakdown of performance by asset type.

Chart 3

Chart 4

image

Auto loans and leases remain dominant assets

Auto loans and leases account for 49% of the collateral in partially supported programs and 24% of all ABCP conduit portfolios (see charts 3 and 4). These assets remain dominant staples and serve as vital alternative funding sources for large auto issuers. We expect this trend to continue as auto loan and lease term ABS issuance in 2019 is projected to reach $86 billion and $17-$18 billion, respectively, even as auto sales are expected to slightly decline this year. Although prime auto loan credit losses increased slightly to 0.58% in August 2019 from 0.55% in August 2018, the performance of these transactions continues to remain within our original loss expectations. Subprime (including deep subprime) auto loan losses increased to 8.78% from 8.65% over the same period. After netting out three deep subprime issuers, modified subprime losses improved slightly, to 6.64% from 6.92% (see "U.S. Auto Loan ABS Tracker: August 2019," published Oct. 21, 2019). We expect investment-grade ratings on auto loan and lease term ABS to remain stable, though speculative-grade ratings on subprime auto loan ABS could be vulnerable to downgrades (see "Global Structured Finance Outlook 2019: Securitization Continues To Be Energized With Potential $1 Trillion In Volume Expected Again," published Jan. 7, 2019).

Credit cards remain staple assets despite representing a smaller percentage of conduit portfolios

Credit cards make up 7% of the collateral in partially supported commercial paper programs and 3% of the total commercial paper market (see charts 3 and 4). We anticipate annual credit card ABS issuance to remain low (about $25 billion), despite an increase in revolving consumer credit, as long as cost-effective deposits are available for banks, which are the primary originators in this sector. Credit card pools include highly seasoned, high-credit-quality receivables. We expect bank credit card losses to remain low, ranging from 3%-4%, and private-label card losses to stay at their historical range of 6%-7%. We expect credit card ABS investment-grade ratings to remain stable during a potential recession (see "Quarterly U.S. Credit Card Quality Index: Market Volatility Does Little To Upset Steady Performance In Second-Quarter 2019," published Aug. 27, 2019).

Student loans represent a small portion of the overall conduit portfolio

Student loans comprise 10% of the collateral in partially supported commercial paper programs and 4% of the total commercial paper market (see charts 3 and 4). We expect student loan term ABS issuance to reach $20 billion for the year, driven by private student loans and continued interest in refinance student loan products. Overall, we expect student loan term ABS credit quality and ratings to remain stable in 2019 (see "Podcast Explores U.S. Student Loan Debt And The Possibility Of Forgiveness," published Sept. 26, 2019).

Consumer loans and mobile handsets hold investor interest

Consumer assets--including personal loans and mobile handsets, among others--comprise 7% of the collateral in partially supported programs and make up about 4% of the total assets funded through commercial paper (see charts 3 and 4). There is growing interest in these newer asset types because conduit transactions can test investor appetite for the assets before they are potentially included in term ABS issuance. We expect personal loan term ABS volume to continue growing to $10 billion-$15 billion in 2019, with losses in the 8%-10% range as the credit cycle reaches maturity, and stable ratings.

Trade receivables remain vital staple assets to finance working capital needs

Trade receivables make up only 5% of the partially supported programs, but they are the second-largest staple asset at 8% of the invested amount in the total ABCP market (see charts 3 and 4). Trade receivables are typically revolving, short-term assets and used for capital-market funding for middle-market clients' working capital needs.

Nontraditional assets overshadow traditional as investor preferences shift

Nontraditional assets make up 34% of the total commercial paper market but only comprise about 7% of the partially supported programs (see charts 3 and 4). We have observed an increasing appetite for these assets, which include servicer advances, contract payment rights, and repurchase agreements. We believe that these assets subject the collateral pool to higher credit risk, which is mitigated by sponsors who typically cover both the liquidity and credit risk in fully and partially supported programs.

Investor tastes also shift to commercial assets

Commercial assets make up 13% of the total commercial paper market and comprise 13% of the partially supported programs (see charts 3 and 4). We have observed an increase in investor interest for these types of assets, which include commercial loans and leases, floorplan, fleet lease, railcar, and container leases, among others. We expect sustained issuance volume in the $30-$35 billion range for commercial ABS in 2019, with both stable ratings and credit quality. However, we expect some volatility varying by segment (e.g., agriculture, transportation, construction, small ticket, etc.), resulting from geopolitical effects and more challenging economic conditions. We also expect stable credit trends for nondiversified dealer floorplan term ABS for 2019, as auto manufacturers continue to support their dealer bases; this support is one of the driving factors of near-zero loss performance typically exhibited by nondiversified dealer floorplan ABS trusts. We project that credit quality in fleet lease term ABS will remain stable as the sector also experiences near-zero loss levels due to commercial obligors' strong credit quality and the critical nature of fleet vehicles to corporate lessees' operations, among other factors (see "U.S. Commercial ABS Outlook For 2019: Generally Stable, But With Increased Volatility," published Feb. 21, 2019, and "SF Credit Brief: What Drives Near-Zero Losses For The Fleet Lease ABS Sector?" published Nov. 21, 2018).

EMEA: Issuance Inches Closer To $100 Billion As Market Uncertainties Abate

Matthew S Mitchell, CFA, London, (44) 20-7176-8581; matthew.mitchell@spglobal.com 

Florent Stiel, Paris, (33) 1-4420-6690; florent.stiel@spglobal.com 

The total S&P Global Ratings-rated ABCP outstanding as of June 2019 from conduits domiciled in EMEA increased 4.1% over 2018, furthering the momentum gathered in 2017. Issuance volume at the end of the first six months was just short of $100 billion. We expect that moderate growth will continue under our base-case forecast, but significant uncertainties surrounding Brexit could put a damper on new issuance.

On the regulatory front, disruptions due to the implementation of the EU's new securitization regulation effective Jan. 1, 2019, and the uncertainties over the eligibility criteria for the simple, transparent, and standardized (STS) securitizations moderated in the second quarter. Even though several technical standards are still not completely finalized, term securitizations have started to regain ground, and guidance has been provided on the regulation's application to ABCP conduits. Consequently, we expect some improvement in ABCP issuance volumes. On the other hand, the return of central bank funding schemes--such as the European Central Bank's third round of targeted long-term refinancing operations (TLTRO III) and any possibility of another iteration of Bank of England's term funding scheme (TFS)--could dampen term securitizations, thereby lowering ABCP issuances funding assets by subscribing to notes issued under them.

Some ABCP conduits domiciled in the EU have U.K.-based financial institutions in different transaction roles. In the event of a no-deal Brexit, we understand that performance of these parties in roles such as bank account and liquidity providers would not be affected because these are typically not considered regulated activities. We also understand that existing cross-border derivative contracts will generally remain valid and enforceable and that the loss of passporting rights should not prevent counterparties from making payments under these contracts. As such, we do not anticipate performance issues under existing cross-border derivative contracts. Our view remains unchanged despite continued uncertainty related to Brexit, and we expect our ratings on ABCP conduits domiciled in EMEA to be largely unaffected. Nonetheless, we will continue to monitor any impact on our ratings on the conduits due to Brexit.

Issuance momentum continues into 2019

Total ABCP outstanding in EMEA continued to increase in the first six months, rising 4.1% to $99.9 billion as of June 2019. Overall volumes, which rose 31.9% in December 2017 from the December 2014 low of $72.9 billion, continued to gather momentum this year (see chart 5). While the universe of rated conduits remained unchanged in the first half of the year, in the third quarter, we rated two new programs: Satellite, sponsored by Crédit Industriel et Commercial, which funds traditional assets such as trade receivables, auto loans, and auto leases; and Chesham Finance Ltd.'s segregated series VII, sponsored by BSN Holdings Ltd., which funds investment contracts with Citibank N.A, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and/or Citigroup Global Markets Ltd. as series counterparties (see related research).

Growth in committed funding amounts remained steady around 2% as of June 2019, compared to 2018, supported by expanding interest in ABCP-based funding. Overall utilization rates across programs remained largely stable, with limited changes since December 2018.

Chart 5

British pound-sterling denominated issuances up, euro-denominated issuances slip

U.S. dollar-, euro-, and British pound sterling-denominated ABCP issuances continued to account for more than 99% of the ABCP issued by European conduits. Despite the increase in total issuance volumes as of June 2019, euro-denominated issuances fell 3.4%, causing their overall share to also reduce to about 32% from nearly 35% last year. Market preference shifted to U.S. dollar- and British pound sterling-denominated issuances. While U.S. dollar-denominated issuances have been steadily growing since 2017, British pound sterling-denominated issuances increased 13.1% over 2018, despite the prevailing uncertainty around Brexit (see chart 6).

Chart 6

image

The share of total ABCP outstanding funded by single-seller programs climbed 2% over 2018 to about 9%, as issuances from the two new single-seller programs we rated in July 2018--Glencove Funding DAC and Longship Funding DAC--more than doubled over the last six months. Similarly, the share of 'A-1+' rated programs improved because of the issuances from Longship Funding DAC. All issuances from conduits domiciled in EMEA are currently fully supported by liquidity. Further, our ABCP ratings are weak-linked to the issuer credit ratings on the liquidity provider, or in the case of conduits funding investment contracts, the minimum issuer credit rating on the series counterparties (see Appendix).

Investment contract volumes nearly triple in five years

Total asset investments in EMEA increased about 1.8% over 2018, with rises in commercial and consumer assets offset by a marginal decline in trade receivables (see chart 7).

Chart 7

image

Although traditional assets such as trade receivables and autos continued to account for more than 60% of total asset investments, we observed a sharp growth in issuances from conduits funding investment contracts such as repurchase agreements, total return swaps, and securities lending agreements, which improved investments in commercial assets. Since July last year, we rated two new conduits and an additional segregated series within an existing program, Chesham Finance Ltd., all of which fund investment contracts (see related research). Over the last five years, conduits that fund investments contracts increased to 13, up from four in 2014, while total assets funded by these conduits have almost tripled to more than $22 billion, which, based on our understanding, is driven by favorable capital treatment and diversified sources of liquidity for counterparties.

We did not observe any material changes in the domicile of assets since 2018; of all assets, 80% continue to be domiciled across various regions within EMEA. Assets originated in the U.K. were slightly above the 30% average we observed over the past four years. A quarter of assets continue to be domiciled in Italy, France, and Germany. Assets originated in the U.S. have stayed steady as well around 7%-8%. We observed some growth in assets originated from Australia, Austria, Hong Kong, and Korea, although these regions together formed only about 2.3% of the total.

Australia: Programs Winding Down Causes Volume To Decline Further

Justin Rockman, Melbourne, (61) 3-9631-2183; justin.rockman@spglobal.com  

Total ABCP outstanding in June 2019 decreased approximately 15% to A$342 million from A$400 million six months earlier, continuing the trend of program sponsors winding down ABCP programs (see chart 8). Total liquidity backing ABCP programs remained stable at A$400 million in June.

Chart 8

image

Until 2014, about 80% of all issuance was denominated in Australian dollars, and another 12%-18% was denominated in U.S. dollars. However, U.S. dollar-denominated issuance contracted significantly thereafter, with no Australian programs funding in the U.S. (see chart 9).

Chart 9

image

Currently there are two ABCP programs outstanding. Waratah Securities Australia Ltd. and Sydney Capital Corp. Inc. are partially supported multi-seller programs rated 'A-1+', which can issue in both the Australian and U.S. markets and have a callable note program. Liberty Sirius Series is an 'A-1' rated single-seller program established to fund residential mortgage loans, originated by an Australian nonbank lender. The ratings on both programs are linked to the liquidity and credit facility providers.

Investments are concentrated in residential mortgages

Because Waratah Securities Australia Ltd. and Sydney Capital Corp. are not actively issuing, residential mortgages make up most of the assets underlying ABCP programs, with a proportion held in cash temporarily due to the sale of underlying assets from one of the programs (see chart 10).

Chart 10

Australian households and businesses remain short on confidence, despite recent tax and central bank rate cuts. However, there are early signs the housing market downturn may be past the worst. Job growth remains resilient, which should support household spending and offset the drag from the housing market. The unemployment rate increased in the second quarter of 2019, but this reflects rising labor force participation. The Reserve Bank of Australia recognizes the need to reduce the unemployment rate to meet inflation targets, and further cash rate cuts are possible. Economic growth has slowed over the course of 2019 as weaker consumption growth and the slowdown in housing market activity weighed on consumer and business sentiment. Despite the softening in economic conditions, employment has held up with robust job growth and a relatively stable unemployment rate. We expect ABCP issuance to remain subdued for the remainder of 2019. Overall risks are broadly steady, but tilted to the downside.

Japan: Issuance Volumes Declined To Date In 2019

Toshiaki Shimizu, Tokyo, (81) 3-4550-8302; toshiaki.shimizu@spglobal.com 

ABCP is a traditional form of securitization in Japan. Currently there are two ABCP programs outstanding, which were established by AOI Funding Corp. and Apex Funding Corp. Both conduits are multi-seller programs fully supported by Japanese banks--The Shizuoka Bank Ltd. and MUFG Bank Ltd.--based on the liquidity and credit facility agreement. Therefore, the ratings on both programs remain linked to our short-term credit ratings on the banks. These conduits are set up to finance their acquisition of assets such as trade receivables by issuing yen-denominated ABCP. There have been no specific changes since 2012. Currently, there are no scheduled legal or regulatory changes that would impact ABCP issuances in the Japanese market.

In 2009, there were four ABCP programs in Japan. We withdrew our ratings on two programs in 2012 following their closure and upon the related transaction party's request (see chart 11).

Chart 11

image

Total ABCP outstanding in June 2019 declined 7% to ¥213.81 billion since December 2018. Issuance volumes remained well below historical highs, despite slight gains in December 2018. Utilization rates in Japan have been low, compared to global trends, likely because of the current lending environment and availability of credit. To date, all issuances by Japanese conduits have been denominated only in Japanese Yen.

Global Top 10 Sponsors

Globally, as of June 2019, the top 10 sponsors are largely concentrated in the U.S. and EMEA. They formed about 72.1% of the S&P Global Ratings-rated ABCP issuances outstanding in these two regions, largely stable since December 2018. The top three sponsors hold about a third of the total issuance volumes in the U.S. and EMEA (see table 1).
