KBRA Releases Monthly Auto Loan Indices for July

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) releases its Auto Loan Indices for the month of July and reports on delinquency roll rates from asset-level disclosures.

Servicer reports showed mixed results across securitized prime and non-prime auto loan pools in July. KBRA’s Prime Auto Loan Index showed year-over-year improvements for the 18th consecutive month, driven by index mix shift and tighter credit underwriting. However, KBRA’s Non-Prime Auto Loan Index underperformed as losses rose on both a month-over-month and year-over-year basis.

Notably, an analysis of loan level data shows that the percentage of borrowers going from 60+ days delinquent to current has been falling. This is somewhat concerning as it could lead to increased losses in the coming months. The trend appears to be consistent across all three of the non-prime issuers that report loan level data and is certainly worth continued monitoring.
