KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to GLS Auto Receivables Issuer Trust 2022-3

KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to six classes of notes issued by GLS Auto Receivables Issuer Trust 2022-3 (“GCAR 2022-3”), an auto loan ABS transaction.

GCAR 2022-3 represents the third term ABS securitization for Global Lending Services, LLC (“GLS” or the “Company”) in 2022 and the 21st overall. GCAR 2022-3 will issue six classes of notes totaling $317.12 million collateralized by a pool of retail automobile contracts, made to subprime obligors and secured by new and used automobiles.

GLS is a subprime auto finance company founded in 2011 and is majority-owned by Assured Investment Management LLC (“Assured”), an alternative asset manager owned by funds managed by Assured Guaranty Ltd, an insurance company. Assured (formerly BlueMountain Capital Management) has invested $135 million since inception. Based on financials provided by the Company, GLS has been profitable since 2017. As of June 30, 2022, the Company reported positive unaudited year-to-date net income of approximately $83.2 million had total assets of over $4.9 billion, total members’ equity of $389.1 million and an aggregate outstanding portfolio balance of $5.0 billion.

KBRA applied its Auto Loan ABS Global Rating Methodology as well as its Global Structured Finance Counterparty Methodology and ESG Global Rating Methodology as part of its analysis of the transaction’s underlying collateral pool, the proposed capital structure, and GLS’s historical static pool data. KBRA considered its operation review of GLS, as well as periodic due diligence calls with GLS. Operative agreements and legal opinions will be reviewed prior to closing.
