General Motors Financial (GMF) is General Motors’ captive finance arm and was formed in 2010 via the acquisition of AmeriCredit GM and GMF have a support agreement that requires GM to own 100% of GMF as long as it has unsecured debt outstanding
Equity futures were mixed Monday morning, while Treasury yields were 4-7bps higher than where they closed Friday Credit spreads were unchanged to 1 basis-point tighter the morning of the offering Markets were digesting an unexpected announcement that OPEC+ would cut oil production by more than 1 million barrels The week prior to the transaction saw an improvement in tone as markets continued to recover from banking turmoil that saw Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse and the acquisition of Credit Suisse by UBS
The Friday before the transaction, Moody’s upgraded the senior unsecured notes of General Motors Company and General Motors Financial to Baa2 from Baa3 GMF spreads tightened as a result of the announcement and tightening continued Monday morning
General Motors Financial announced a $Benchmark three-part offering just before 9:00AM EDT The Company announced a 3-Year FRN tranche and 3- and 7-Year fixed tranches Five other issuers announced transactions on Monday, including one direct competitor Despite the presence of a peer, the Underwriters felt confident moving forward given GMF’s higher credit ratings and differences in announced tenors
GMF was able to build a peak orderbook of $9 6 Billion (4 3x oversubscribed), skewed towards the 7-Year tranche. The Company dropped its floating-rate tranche due to lack of demand The orderbook was comprised of several real-money accounts with triple-digit orders, which allowed the Company to release guidance at T+170# and T+240#
Orderbook attrition was minimal, and the Underwriters were able to skip the Launch call and move straight to pricing General Motors Financial was ultimately able to price $2 25 Billion at T+170bps and T+240bps on 3-Year Fixed and 7-Year Fixed tranches, respectively

Ford Motor Credit Company, “FMCC”, offers a wide variety of automotive financing products to and through automotive dealers throughout the world FMCC’s primary business is the financing of vehicles and supporting Ford’s dealers
Equity futures were mixed Monday morning, Treasury yields were 4-7bps higher from Friday’s close. Credit spreads were unchanged to 1bp tighter. Markets were digesting an unexpected announcement that OPEC+ would cut oil production by more than 1 million barrels, stoking concerns around an inflation rebound
The Company initially engaged the Underwriters in early March but stood down for multiple weeks as a result of banking turmoil that saw Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse and the CS-UBS merger. The market found its footing in the week preceding the offering, driving spread compression that afforded FMCC attractive all-in yields relative to early March The Company moved quickly to take advantage of the constructive conditions and on the Friday before the transaction re-engaged the Underwriters for an offering as soon as Monday morning
Just after 9:00am EDT, Ford Motor Credit Company announced a $Benchmark 5-Year offering Initial Price Talk on the offering was set at 7 125% – 7 250% Five other issuers, including one direct competitor, were in the market alongside FMCC The Syndicate was comfortable moving forward with the transaction, specifically given that the peer was of a different credit profile and did not announce a 5-Year tranche
Ford Motor Credit Company’s transaction was able to build a peak orderbook of $5 0 Billion (3 3x oversubscribed) The sizeable orderbook gave the Syndicate confidence to be aggressive with Guidance, which was released at 6 800% the #
The high-quality orderbook held in well and the Company was able to launch the transaction with a size of $1 5 Billion, significantly larger than the whispered target size of $1 Billion Ultimately, Ford Motor Credit Company was able to price $1 5 Billion of 5-Year notes at 6 800%

Wednesday morning opened with relative stability in equity and credit markets following a recent FOMC rate decision and pending CPI print The primary market saw ~$28 billion of supply from the previous two trading sessions which included the largest deal in 2023 thus far Waste Management opted to proceed with their first offering of the year at 8:45am EST, announcing a $Benchmark 7-Year and 10-Year financing with Initial Price Talk set at T+105 Area, and T+115 Area, respectively
With Waste Management being the only IG corporate borrower in the market, the Company was able to build a peak orderbook of just over $3.1 billion (2.5x oversubscribed). Guidance on the new 7-Year and 10-Year was released at T+90# and T+100#, respectively. The Syndicate opted for an “at the #” strategy to solve for the size split between the two tranches
After manageable orderbook attrition, the Company Launched and Priced the offering at T+90 bps and T+100 bps with a skew in size towards the 7-Year tenor
In determining fair value on the new 7-Year and 10-Year notes, the most relevant data points would be the trading levels of WM’s 2 00% 2029s at T+79 bps (G+84 bps) and 4 15% 2032s at T+88 bps (G+86 bps) After applying the relevant curve adjustments and considering comparable 7-Year and 10-Year paper from similar companies, the deal priced with 5-10 bps of new issue concession

Our desk is a client-facing division of SMBC Nikko, responsible for providing services across securitization, including securitization lending, term ABS and CLOs
Our group is comprised of several different groups within securitization. Analysts and associates are given the opportunity to experience across all products and asset classes and eventually fine-tune skills in areas in which they are most interested
Term ABS is most similar to traditional banking, when you consider investment banks acting in an advisory capacity. A group (or sometimes a single) investment bank is hired to advise a client on a portfolio of assets and how best to structure them into a bond. The banks are also tasked with finding interested investors, preparing marketing materials and selling those bonds
Securitization lending is similar to Term ABS in that the investment bank still has to analyze the portfolio and put together a structure that packages together the cashflows of the underlying assets. However, in this case, the investment bank is the investor. The investment bank is taking the right to the payments of the underlying assets and providing a line of credit to the client backed by those assets
We also work closely with other groups at the organization.
Securitizations typically need to have a diversified portfolio of underlying customers as the programs are structured using a pool based analysis
Typical program commitment sizes are $50 million to $1+ billion
Companies with high customer diversity tend to have higher advance rates than those with lower customer diversity
Securitizations are designed to be bankruptcy remote in nature
Assets included in a securitization would be isolated from the bankruptcy estate of the company allowing lenders to avoid stay risk and get repaid quickly
As such, securitization facilities are generally viewed as separate exposure from the underlying corporate servicing entity
Securitizations are underwritten based on the quality of the underlying customer pool and asset performance and not to the individual customers
Companies with underlying assets that have strong performance have higher advance rates than those with underlying assets with less strong performance

Reason 1
Group Name
1 2
An evolving market: ABS is growing quickly, and across many new asset classes. While the more “vanilla” asset classes (called on-the-run) such as autos and equipment still command a large portion of the market, “off-the-run” asset classes including many surprising ones (like rate recovery bonds or music royalties) keep ABS bankers always learning
Reason 2
Safety and security: ABS is one of, if not the cheapest, form of funding. In times of market stress, investors may be unwilling to fund companies via other markets, but because ABS is secured, ABS is better able to weather turbulent markets
