KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to Arroyo Mortgage Trust 2019-2 (ARRW 2019-2)

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Inc. (KBRA) assigns preliminary ratings to six
classes of mortgage-backed notes from Arroyo Mortgage Trust 2019-2 (ARRW
2019-2), a $960.0 million non-prime RMBS transaction.

ARRW 2019-2 is sponsored by Arroyo Mortgage Acquisition Company III LLC
(AMAC III), an affiliate of Western Asset Mortgage Capital Corporation
(WMC). The ARRW 2019-2 pool, comprising 2,316 residential mortgages,
includes both seasoned performing and newly-originated non-prime
collateral with a weighted average (WA) loan age of approximately 16
months (based on May 1, 2019 cut-off). The loans were underwritten
primarily using non-traditional income documentation sources to
borrowers with substantial equity. The pool contains both non-qualified
mortgages (Non-QM; 65.6%) and loans that are exempt from the ATR rule
(34.4%), including business purpose investor property loans and
mortgages originated prior to implementation of the Ability-to Repay
rule.

The underlying ARRW 2019-2 collateral consists of both hybrid
adjustable-rate mortgages (80.9%) and fixed-rate mortgages (19.1%), with
2.9% of the loans possessing an interest-only period. Borrowers in the
pool possess a WA original credit score of 744 and they exhibit
substantial equity in each mortgaged property, with WA original
loan-to-value (LTV) and combined LTV (CLTV) ratios of 61.6% and 61.7%,
respectively.

KBRA’s rating approach incorporated loan-level analysis of the mortgage
pool through its Residential Mortgage Default and Loss Model, an
examination of the results from third-party loan file due diligence,
cash flow modeling, analysis of the transaction’s payment structure,
reviews of key transaction parties and an assessment of the
transaction’s legal structure and documentation. This analysis is
further described in our U.S. RMBS Rating Methodology.
