Fitch Affirms Nifty Warehouse Trust No.1 at 'AAAsf

Fri, 21 Mar - 10:10am
(The following statement was released by the rating agency)

SYDNEY, March 20 (Fitch) Fitch Ratings has affirmed two classes of notes issued 
by Nifty Warehouse Trust No.1. The transaction is backed by a pool of Australian 
auto receivables. The assets were originated by Nissan Financial Services 
Australia Pty Ltd. The rating actions are listed below:

AUD250m Class A1 notes affirmed at 'AAAsf'; Outlook Stable; and

AUD250m Class A2 notes affirmed at 'AAAsf'; Outlook Stable.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The affirmations reflect Fitch's view that available credit enhancement supports 
the notes at their current ratings, the agency's expectations of Australia's 
economic conditions, and that the credit quality and performance of the 
underlying loans have remained within the agency's expectations.

Actual cumulative write-offs, and estimated total gross and net losses have been 
below Fitch's base case to date and excess spread has been estimated to be more 
than sufficient to cover any losses that would have been experienced by the 
trust. 

RATING SENSITIVITIES

The prospect of downgrades is considered remote at present given the expected 
performance of the pool and the adequate excess spread and subordination.
