KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to INTOWN 2022-STAY
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#KBRA–KBRA announces the assignment of preliminary ratings to five classes of INTOWN 2022-STAY, a CMBS single-borrower securitization.
The collateral for the transaction is a $1.2 billion non-recourse, first lien mortgage loan. The floating rate loan has an initial two-year term with three one-year extension options and requires monthly interest-only payments based on one-month Term SOFR. The loan is secured by the borrowers’ fee simple interests in 196 lodging properties including 188 economy extended-stay properties totaling 23,908 keys operating under the InTown Suites flag and eight midscale extended-stay properties totaling 1,028 keys operating under the Uptown Suites flag located in 22 states. For the TTM 5/2022 period, the portfolio’s occupancy was 82.8% with an average daily rate (ADR) of $46.83, resulting in revenue per available room (RevPAR) of $38.76.
KBRA’s analysis of the transaction included a detailed evaluation of the properties’ cash flows using our U.S. CMBS Property Evaluation Methodology and the application of our U.S. CMBS Single Borrower & Large Loan Rating Methodology. In addition, KBRA also relied on its Global Structured Finance Counterparty Methodology for assessing counterparty risk in this transaction and its ESG Global Rating Methodology, to the extent deemed applicable.
The results of our analysis yielded a KBRA net cash flow (KNCF) for the portfolio of approximately $162.6 million, which is 16.0% below the issuer’s NCF, and an aggregate KBRA value of approximately $1.357 billion ($54,399 per key), which is 41.0% below the appraiser’s hypothetical portfolio market value of $2.3 billion ($92,236 per key) assuming the portfolio is sold together in a single transaction to a single purchaser. The resulting in-trust KBRA Loan to Value (KLTV) is 88.5%. In our analysis of the transaction, we also reviewed and considered third-party engineering, environmental, and appraisal reports, the results of our site inspection of the property, and legal documentation review.
