KBRA downgrades the rating of one class of certificates and affirms all other outstanding ratings of JPMBB 2015-C31, a $414.3 million CMBS conduit transaction. The rating actions follow a surveillance review of the transaction, which has exhibited a worsening in pool performance since KBRA's last ratings change in July 2024. The rating actions also reflect KBRA's estimated losses for six K-LOCs (47.2% of the pool balance) and the resulting loss adjusted C/E levels.

As of the June 2025 remittance period, there are four specially serviced loans (51.2% of the pool balance), of which two (23.8%) are in foreclosure and one (19.0%) is 90+ days delinquent. KBRA identified nine K-LOCs (61.1%), including the specially serviced loans. The K-LOCs are depicted in the table below:
