KBRA Downgrades Three Ratings and Affirms All Other Outstanding Ratings for UBS 2017-C3
11 Jul 2025 | New York
KBRA downgrades the ratings of three classes of certificates and affirms all other outstanding ratings of UBS 2017-C3, a $578.6 million CMBS conduit transaction. The rating actions follow a surveillance review of the transaction, which has incurred realized losses since last review from the March 2025 discounted payoff of the Crowne Plaza Memphis Downtown loan. The realized losses as well as KBRA's estimated losses for the transaction resulted in lower loss-adjusted C/E levels across the bottom of the capital structure. However, the transaction, particularly among higher rated classes, has benefited from deleveraging from loan payoffs, amortization, and defeasances.
As of the June 2025 remittance period, there are five specially serviced assets (17.2% of the pool balance), of which one (4.9%) is REO and one (4.8%) is over 60 days delinquent. KBRA identified 11 K-LOCs (29.1%), including the specially serviced assets. Of the 11 K-LOCs, four (17.9%) have estimated losses. The K-LOCs are displayed in the table below.
Excluding K-LOCs with estimated losses, the transaction’s WA KLTV is 86.7%, compared to 89.6% at KBRA’s last ratings change in July 2024 and 90.7% at securitization. The KDSC is 1.82x, compared to 1.81x at KBRA’s last ratings change and 2.17x at securitization.
Details concerning the classes with rating changes are as follows:
- Class E-RR to BB+ (sf) from BBB (sf)
- Class F-RR to CCC (sf) from B (sf)
- Class G-RR to CC (sf) from CCC (sf)
