Scope Ratings GmbH (Scope) monitors and reviews its credit ratings on an ongoing basis and at least annually, or every six months in the case of sovereigns, sub-sovereigns and supranational organisations.

Scope performs monitoring reviews to determine whether material changes and/or changes in macroeconomic or financial market conditions could have an impact on the credit ratings. Scope considers all available and relevant information when undertaking the monitoring review.

Monitoring reviews are conducted by performing a peer comparison, benchmarking against the rating-change drivers, and/or reviewing the credit ratings’ performance over time, as deemed appropriate by the Lead Analyst or Analytical Team Head, in addition to an assessment of all aspects of the relevant methodologies, including key rating assumptions and models. Scope publicly announces the completion of each monitoring review on its website.

Scope completed the monitoring review for Maggese S.r.l. on 29 January 2024. The credit ratings remain as follow:

Class A (ISIN IT0005340465), EUR 99.2m outstanding: CCC_SF

Class B (ISIN IT0005340473), EUR 24.4m outstanding: not rated

Class J (ISIN IT0005340481), EUR 11.4m outstanding: not rated

The reviews were conducted considering available servicer reports, payment reports and investor report up to July 2023.

This monitoring note does not constitute a credit rating action, nor does it indicate the likelihood that Scope will conduct a credit rating action in the short term.

Key Rating factors

Rating factors assessed during the monitoring review include realised profitability on closed positions, the timing of cumulative collections and the amount of recovery expenses, against Scope’s expectations. The rating also considered Italy´s macro-economic outlook, the issuers’ exposure to key counterparties, the legal and structural protection provided to the notes, the liquidity protection and the interest rate hedging agreements.

The transaction has shown a relatively stable performance since the last review conducted on 21 February 2023. It continues to record a worse timing compared to servicer’s original assumptions and profitability on closed secured debtors remains below Scope’s original expectations for B case scenario. Since closing, the servicer has revised the original business plan aggregate collection estimate downwards by 25.4%. Class A notes have amortised slower than expected, with current senior notes pool factor at 58.1%.

The methodologies applicable for the reviewed rating (General Structured Finance Rating Methodology, 25 January 2023, Non-Performing Loan ABS Methodology, 3 August 2023, Counterparty Risk Methodology, 13 July 2023) are available on https://scoperatings.com/governance-and-policies/rating-governance/methodologies.
