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 of EFL Lease ABS 2021-1 DAC on 6 June 2024. The credit rating remains as follows:

Class A1 (ISIN XS2360018225): PLN 890.0m outstanding amount: AAA_SF

Class A2 (ISIN XS2360025279): PLN 800.0m outstanding amount: AAA_SF

The review was conducted based on available quarterly investor reports reflecting performance up to April 2024 payment date.

EFL Lease ABS 2021-1 is a true-sale cash securitisation of a PLN 2,152.9m lease receivables portfolio with a three-year revolving period ending October 2024. Citibank N.A. London Branch is the issuer account bank. This transaction does not securitise receivables related to the leased objects’ residual value. The portfolio composition and its profile are expected to change as a result of replenishments, within reasonable limits. Asset and portfolio-level covenants together with early-amortisation triggers protect the class A notes against adverse portfolio migration and asset underperformance during the three-year revolving period.

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. Information about the latest credit rating action connected with this monitoring note along with the associated rating history can be found on www.scoperatings.com.
