Trepp Analyzes CRE Loan Defaults & Loss Rates: Serious Challenges Ahead

NEW YORK, July 13, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Trepp, a leading provider of information, analytics, and technology to the structured finance, commercial real estate, and banking markets, has released its latest report, "Analyzing CRE Loan Defaults & Loss Rates: Serious Challenges Ahead". The full report can be downloaded here: https://info.trepp.com/analyzing-cre-loan-defaults-loss-rates-serious-challenges-ahead-pr.

To gauge the impacts of the COVID-19 disruption, Trepp applied an economic and real estate forecast scenario to a portfolio of 13,000 commercial real estate loans. The loans are from Trepp's T-ALLR data set, which is comprised of balance sheet loans held by commercial banks. The loans used for this analysis are commercial mortgage loans, spanning a broad range of size, geography, and property type.

"The economic downturn caused by COVID-19 and the efforts to contain it will trigger a new cycle of rising defaults and losses in the commercial real estate lending sector," said Matthew Anderson, head researcher of this study and Trepp Managing Director. "In the main scenario presented in this report, the cumulative default rate across commercial mortgages overall will rise to 6.5%, up significantly from the current 0.5% default rate."

In March, Trepp released an original analysis estimating impacts from COVID-19 and the efforts to contain it. The impacts outlined in Trepp's updated report reflect upgraded assumptions regarding key model inputs, as well as new breakouts for retail subtypes, and more nuanced geographic applications of the assumptions regarding price and NOI growth.

The Price and NOI peak-to-trough forecasts have been updated and are less severe in the June forecasts than in the March forecasts. Trepp used year-to-date share price changes from the REIT market as a guide in setting the peak-to-trough price forecasts for the different real estate property types.

This analysis has broken the retail property type into three subtypes ? Free Standing, Shopping Centers, Regional Mall ? in order to apply Price and NOI growth vectors to each of the subtypes separately. It also captures geographic differences by scaling the Price and NOI growth vectors up or down at the state level, according to how that state's unemployment rate has performed relative to the nation. Lastly, the report incorporates two alternative scenarios, to capture the effects of a stronger and faster rebound and of a potential second drop in values and NOI.
