3 Oct 2025 | New York
KBRA downgrades the ratings of six classes of certificates and affirms all other outstanding ratings of CSAIL 2017-CX10, a $656.9 million CMBS conduit transaction. The rating actions follow a surveillance review of the transaction, which has exhibited an increase in KBRA's estimated losses from four K-LOCs (19.5% of the pool balance), each of which is secured by office properties. The ratings also consider increased certificate C/E levels due to amortization and loan payoffs, as well as deleveraging due to defeasances.

Excluding the K-LOCs with estimated losses, the transaction’s WA KLTV is 79.2%, compared to 82.8% at KBRA's last ratings change and 81.8% at securitization. The KDSC is 2.93x, compared to 2.85x at KBRA's last ratings change and 3.07x at securitization.
