Q

How is public debt rating information used?

A

It is combined with credit edge and entered directly into the model. The assumption is that debt rating agencies have access to more information about the borrower than what is reflected in financial statements.

Q

What is the waterfall calculation?

A
For each level of liability, the liability is repaid with the following calculation:
Each "repayment" is proportionally distributed among all accounts in each class of assets. A $1MM super senior liability is repaid with $0.625MM of AR (out of $5MM AR total) and $0.375MM Inventory (out of $3MM inventory total)

Super senior is repaid with unpledged assets with any remaining balance paid from pledged assets

Liabilities with guarantees are first paid from the guarantee. If the guarantee is $2MM, then a $12MM LOC and an $8MM term loan each get $1.2MM and $0.8MM, respectively.

Then liabilities with pledged assets are repaid. If any portion of the liabilities are left over, the model considers those portions unsecured.

Then liabilities with blanket liens. Any portion not covered is unsecured.

Any left over assets cover unsecured liabilities.

Any assets left over after unsecured liabilities repay subordinated debt.

Q

What is the EAD?

A

It is the exposure at default. Calculated as Outstanding balance + LEE% [Loan Equivalent Exposure] * Unused Commitments.

17
Q

Where do the LEEs for Fx, interest or commodity swaps, and other derivatives come from?

A

There are two options:

But the easiest way is to have LEE of 100%, and LEV as total commitment with 0 outstanding.

18
Q

What is a facility group?

A

A facility group is created for each group of obligations with the same collateral support.

19
Q

What are the special rules for mortgages?

A

Mortgages should be entered whether or not they are with us and whether or not they are first or second mortgages. Second mortgages must be denoted as junior debt.

If facilities are secured by blanket lean, but corporate assets include mortgaged real estate, then a separate facility group should be created for the mortgages and associate real estate collateral. Whether or not the mortgages are with key.

20
Q

Should non-key debt with prior or equal claim to the same collateral be included in the list of obligations?

A

Yes. Including lines of credit. For syndications, include aggregate borrowing amounts, not just our share.

21
Q

What balance should the 2DRR user use to fill out the 2DRR?

A

The model user should always use the most current information when completing the 2DRR. The user may also need to adjust the corresponding financial statement value if the facility outstanding balance or collateral value changes significantly from the financial statement date.

22
Q

Which assets require frequent adjustment?

A

Intangible assets and related party assets.

23
Q

What liabilities typically require adjustment?

A

Any current facility outstanding balances or collateral values. Further it should be verified that all obligations have been imported to their appropriate levels.

24
Q

Does the model treat a blanket lien differently than a blanket lien on all assets including but not limited to AR, Inv, and machinery and equipment?

A

Yes. An all assets filing is secured by blanket lien. The second, with Ar, Inv, and M&Equip is secured by pledged assets + blanket lien.

25
How do you include a new facility?
There are 3 equally valid ways: - Pro-Forma: adjust the borrower's BS to include the new debt and assets, as if the loan were already drawn. Add the facility group with full outstanding balance and collateral value, on balance sheet - Semi-pro-forma: Do not adjust the BS and just mark the facility & collateral as off balance sheet - Existing balance: don't adjust the balance sheet and input the new loan with $0 outstanding and $0 collateral value
26
Can the facility rating be higher than the obligor rating?
Our rating tables were built such that the facility rating equals the obligor rating if the loss given default is 50%. When the LGD is higher than 50%, most likely the facility rating will be higher than the obligor rating. This depends on how much greater than 50% the LGD is, and where the PD falls in the corresponding PD range.
