New Auto Performance Report TracksExpanding Asset Class

This quarterly report will provide a comparativeanalysis of the key performance indicators across thisasset area. The report and the indicators in it coverthe underlying portfolios of auto loans and leases butexclude those with mixed pools of assets (e.g., autoloans/leases, and personal secured and unsecuredloans) because of the different risk profiles of thoseassets. The weighted-average indicators are included forcomparison only, and should not be understood asbenchmarks, because of the differences amongoriginators' lending practises and jurisdictions.

Not all transactions report an identical set of data,and performance indicators have been compiledusing the available information. In addition, theindividual transactions vary greatly in performance.However, the performance charts of includedtransactions will highlight any significant variances.

The European Auto ABS MarketIn Europe, various assets are securitized into autoABS. These include not only consumer and corporateauto loans, but also auto leases and loans for newand used vehicles. Most of the transactions comprise

just the amortizing part of the contract. However,there are a few transactions outstanding where thewhole loan is securitized, including the residualelement, e.g., the residual value of underlyingcollateral that is used to make a final payment on theloan.Although the market has grown steadily, it is stillmuch smaller than the equivalent market in the U.S.,and therefore it is not appropriate at this stage todivide the market into subclasses according to therisk profile of the assets (prime, nonprime,subprime).

Since 1998, Standard & Poor's has rated 37 autoABS transactions for a total amount of €€19.6 billion.Out of that amount, nearly €€14 billion of rated notesare outstanding. Originators and transactions areshown in table 2.In 2003 issuance of notes backed by auto loans andleases remained healthy. Although the total issuancerated by Standard & Poor's in 2003 decreased bymore than 50% from that in 2002, which was arecord year, it was still comparable with levelsreached in 2001 (see chart 2).

In 2003, Standard & Poor's publicly rated seventransactions. Of these, three were repeat issues, onewas a tap issue, and three were originated bynewcomers to the securitization market — IvecoFinanziaria and RNS SpA, a wholly ownedsubsidiary of RCI Banque.

There are two distinct types of originator inEurope: financing arms (captives) of automakersand retail banks. Auto captives command thelarger share of the auto ABS market at 84%. Forthe purposes of clarity, table 1 lists transactionsoriginated by captives along with their ultimateparents.

Asset/Rating PerformancePerformance of ratings was stable in 2003, with nodowngrades and two upgrades of seasonedtransactions (VCL 4 and VCL 5), where, due toamortization of the senior classes of notes,additional credit enhancement had built up.Three transactions breached performance-relatedtriggers: Globaldrive Series B, Globaldrive Series D,and European Auto Securitisation. However, fromthe rating perspective, these breaches were offset by

the transactions' starting to trap excess spread,which provides additional credit enhancementagainst weaker performance of the underlyingportfolio of assets. In Standard & Poor's analysis, key indicators forauto ABS transactions include:

! Net loss rate;! Effective yield;! Prepayment rate; and! Delinquency rate.

Page 5: Auto ABS Performance Report

5Auto ABS Performance Report European Structured Finance Report Q4 2003

Auto ABS Performance Report Issue 1 - March 2004

Each of these indicators except delinquency rates iscalculated as an annualized weighted average.Prepayment rate and effective yield are weighted bythe outstanding amount of the collateral at thebeginning the collection period and net loss rate bythe outstanding amount of the collateral at the endof the collection period. For transactions thatreport quarterly the interim data points werelinearly interpolated. Although all the indicators are key inputs to theongoing surveillance analysis, caution should beexercised in comparison of the performance ofindividual transactions as well as in drawingconclusions. An additional careful review of furthertransaction-specific features is needed for thispurpose, as the indicators do not reflect them. Forexample, transactions with high levels of net lossesmay have other compensating factors such ashigher yield assets, lower prepayment rates, etc.

Net Loss RateEuropean auto ABS transactions show a widevariance in the timing of the loss recognition aswell as in reporting losses gross or net. Sometransactions recognize gross losses after receivablesbecome defaulted. Others recognize net losses onreceipt of the full value of recoveries a significanttime after default. For the purposes of this report,for transactions that report losses gross, proxies fornet losses were calculated as gross losses/defaultsminus recoveries to the extent that recoveriesformed part of available principal collections. The net loss rate for European auto ABS is shownin chart 5. Since this is calculated as a weightedaverage, the peaks in net losses can be largelyattributed to several big transactions' having spikesin net losses, sometimes due to one-off reportingcorrections/adjustments, as can be seen from theindividual performance charts 6a, 6b, 6c, and 6d.

Net Loss Rate by TransactionChart 6d

In the LTR 1 and LTR 2 transactions, the servicer hasdiscretion over the timing of loss recognition and largelosses were recognized in some reporting periods andthis explains the spikes in their net losses. All of theselosses were covered through excess spread in thesetransactions. None of the transaction performancetriggers were breached, since these losses wererecognized after the end of revolving period. FCE Bank, servicer of the Globaldrive Series B and Dtransactions, adopted a more conservative definition oflosses at the end of 2002, which resulted in thereclassification of some delinquencies as defaults. Thisreclassification explains the spike in losses for these inJanuary 2003.Despite net losses being one of the key indicators ofperformance of any ABS, the transactions are rated on

gross defaults and recoveries. This is to allow forstresses to be applied to the level of gross defaults andto recovery percentages and recovery timing.The total figure for losses is in general lower than forcredit cards and consumer unsecured loans. It hasremained low and tends to stabilize around 0.75%.The blended portfolio of underlying contracts,including loans, leases, new and used vehicles,consumer, and corporate customers, feeds into this lowloss rate. When transactions are rated the variousbreakdowns within the portfolio are analyzed becausethey tend to behave differently — e.g., customers withused cars tend to have a higher default rate than thosewho buy new cars. To control the performance of eachtransaction, triggers and eligibility constraints areincluded in the documentation. The portfolio is then

stressed to the portfolio composition that carries thehighest risk.

Prepayment RateThe prepayment rate is the amount of principal fullyprepaid during the collection period divided by thereceivables outstanding at the beginning of the periodand annualized. For transactions without revolvingperiods, a high prepayment rate is a positive attributefor the performance and credit rating of a transactionbecause it reduces the amortisation period andtherefore the transaction's exposure to defaults.However, during the revolving period a high

prepayment rate can have a negative effect, since thelarger part of underlying collateral is substituted andthe new assets in portfolio may have higher defaultrates. To avoid deterioration of the quality of thecollateral during the revolving period, most auto ABStransactions incorporate early amortisation triggersbased on actual default and delinquencies rates. Inboth cases, a high prepayment rate reduces the level ofexcess spread, which has a negative effect on thetransactions.The prepayment rates for auto ABS transactions isshown in chart 7. Individual breakdowns are in charts8a, 8b, and 8c.

Prepayment Rate by TransactionChart 8c

The overall prepayment rate mostly stays withinthe 15%-20% range. The lowest averageprepayment rate is in the Spanish portfolio forAuto ABS Compartiment 2002 at 7.3%.Globaldrive (U.K.) has the highest averageprepayment rate at 24.6%. The prepayment ratefor VCL 4 dropped significantly because nearly allthe collateral has amortized.

Effective YieldEffective yield is worked out by dividing interestpayments received during the collection period bythe receivables outstanding at the beginning of thecollection period and annualizing the figureobtained. For transactions where receivables arebought at discount, effective yield will be higherthan the reported weighted-average coupon,

because the discount is included in the effectiveyield calculation. In addition, effective yield is morevolatile than weighted-average coupon since it isgreatly affected by delinquent interest payments or

prepayments. The weighted-average yield for autoABS transactions is shown in chart 9. It is brokendown for individual transactions in charts 10a,10b, and 10c.

Auto ABS Performance Report Issue 1 - March 2004

Effective yield for auto ABS is lower than for otherconsumer ABS such as unsecured loans and creditcards. This is a reflection of the lower riskassociated with these loans and the competition inthe market.As the performance charts show, the effective yieldis gradually decreasing, which is consistent with thelow interest rate environment: substituted assetscarry a lower interest rate. In addition, theincreased level of competition in Europe results inless volatile effective yield for recently originatedtransactions, which have a tighter 7%-11% range.

Delinquency RateDelinquency rate is the total principal amount ofthe assets for which one or more payments werenot received during the collection period divided byreceivables outstanding at the end of the collectionperiod. Delinquencies are a negative attribute tothe transaction as they decrease the amount ofavailable cash flow. To avoid significantdeterioration of cash flows, most auto ABStransactions incorporate performance-relatedtriggers based on actual delinquency levels. Breach

The delinquency rate for 90-120 days is lower thanthe net loss rate. This is because net losses are notrecognized immediately after default, but aftersignificantly more time (up to one year), during

which the new losses are accumulated. Individual 90-120-day delinquency rates for autoABS transactions are given in charts 12a, 12b, 12c,and 12d below.

Portuguese transactions tend to have the highest90-120-day delinquency rates, in the 1%-3%range. Globaldrive U.K. and Globaldrive Series Fhave the lowest at around 0.1%.

OutlookThe transaction volume in 2004 is expected to besimilar to 2003. Further issuances are expectedfrom the originators that have been frequent issuersin the market: Ford and Volkswagen. The totalvolume generated in 2004 depends upon whetherrepeat originators such as Peugeot, Renault, andFiat come back to the market. So far, Peugeot hascompleted a €€1 billion transaction (Auto ABSCompartiment 2004-1) in February 2004. It was

owing to these originators that 2002 was the mostactive year to date, so their activity in 2004 will bevery important for the market's sustained growth. Standard & Poor's expects to see a continued mixof both loans and leases being securitized. Itexpects that there will be greater use of balloonloans and residuals as originators look to maximizethe funding potential. Floorplan transactions, e.g., those wherereceivables from dealers' inventory financing aresecuritized, are also expected to hit the market in2004. This is now an established market in theU.S., but has taken some time to happen in Europe,but Standard & Poor's is expecting to rate termissuances in 2004.
