Auto ABS

Companies with public ratings from a national recognized rating agency make up 66.9% of the obligors in the pool, and those with an investment-grade rating represent 34.9% of the pool.

Notes will repay principal to investors sequentially. All junior notes will be shut out from receiving any principal payments until the immediate senior notes are paid.

The pool has a 25% concentration limit for electric vehicles, up from 15% from Series 2023-5. This increases risks to the transaction, because residual values on those types of cars are still unknown.

The distribution of dealers among the top categories have improved, while the floorplan loans have monthly payment rates that are at record highs.

Pagaya's artificial-intelligence model utilizes more data points in assessing whether a consumer is creditworthy than the handful typically used by traditional auto lenders, so it can find more consumers who would have previously been denied a loan.

Some 24% of the pool has 76- to 84-month contracts. This deprives observers and investors of robust performance data, because of the lack of seasoning.

The level of seasoning dropped to 18 months, from 21 months, while loans with remaining terms of 73-84 months increased to approximately 7.49%, up from 2.6%.

S&P Global Ratings has an expected cumulative net loss (ECNL) of 1.0% on the class A notes, and a 2.0x loss level on the 'BBB' notes.

Levels of initial hard credit enhancement had dropped on the class A notes to 61.90%, but had increased on the B, C and D classes.

Consumer ABS adapts to an environment where total U.S. household debt reaches a record high of $17.06 trillion, while observers say credit performances could reach pre-pandemic levels by 2024.

Credit enhancement is dynamic and depends on certain market value tests, as well as the composition of vehicles in the fleet.

Comprised of fixed- and floating-rate notes, one of the A classes, the A-2-B tranche, will issue notes benchmarked to he Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).

Borrowers have a FICO score of 739, which is the highest of prior LADAR transactions. There is also a non-declining reserve account of 1.00% of the initial adjusted pool balance.

The issue has the potential to be upsized to $1.84 billion, and rating agencies say it has about 7.4% in credit support from hard credit enhancement and excess spread.

The required yield supplement overcollateralization (YSOA) is 9.65%, up from 9.30% in YSOA on the TAOT 2023-A.

The collateral had a WA FICO score of 780. Classes A, B, and C notes had credit enhancement levels of 23.5%, 19.5%, and 16.1%, respectively.

The deal has the lowest concentration of leases with 37- to 48-month original terms, according to Fitch Ratings, at 34.6%.

Underlying loans have an average balance of $25,853, which is in line with balances on previous deals. On a weighted average (WA) basis, the deal's loan-to-value on FCAT 2023-3 was 119.4%.

The $35 million, class A-1 notes on the current deal have total initial credit enhancement of 7.50%, compared with 8.80% on the class A notes on the CRVNA 2023-P2.

The 2023-P1 collateral pool, which finances new and used auto purchases, has a weighted (WA) average credit bureau score of 736, WA seasoning of 24 months, and a WA loan-to-value ratio of 111.31%.
