KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to Goldman Home Improvement Trust 2022-GRN2 Issuer Trust

KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to four classes of notes issued by Goldman Home Improvement Trust 2022-GRN2 Issuer Trust (“GHIT 2022-GRN2”), a home improvement loan ABS transaction.

GHIT 2022-GRN2 will issue four classes of notes totaling $213.988 million, collateralized by 95% of economic participation interests (the “Participations”) in a pool of approximately $265.0 million consumer loans used to finance home improvement products and services originated by third-party banks under the GreenSky Program. The Participations will be sold from Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the “Seller”) to Goldman Sachs Asset Backed Securities Corp. (the “Depositor” and “Sponsor”), and then from the Depositor to GHIT 2022-GRN2 (the “Issuer”), which will in turn contribute the Participations to the GHIT 2022-GRN2 Grantor Trust.

Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Atlanta, GA, GreenSky, LLC (together with its affiliates that provide, directly or indirectly, any of the services related to the GreenSky Platform, “GreenSky” or the “Company”) operates a platform for merchants that facilitates point-of-sale financing for consumers in the home improvement markets (the “GreenSky Platform” or the “Platform”). Loans are originated by GreenSky’s third-party bank partners, under the GreenSky Platform, with GreenSky providing related loan servicing and collection services. Loans originated under the GreenSky Platform generally include reduced rate loans (“Reduced Rate Loans”), zero interest loans (“Zero Interest Loans”), and deferred interest loans (“Deferred Interest Loans”). GreenSky’s former parent company, GreenSky, Inc., completed an initial public offering in May 2018. On March 29, 2022, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc announced that it completed the acquisition of GreenSky, Inc in an all-stock transaction. GreenSky is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs Bank USA, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. In August 2022, Goldman Sachs Bank USA began originating GreenSky Platform loans and is currently originating substantially all GreenSky Platform loans, although no such loans are included in the GHIT 2022-GRN2 collateral pool.

KBRA applied its Global Consumer Loan ABS Rating Methodology and its Global Structured Finance Counterparty Methodology as part of its analysis of the transaction’s underlying collateral pool and the proposed capital structure. KBRA also conducted an operational assessment of GreenSky, as well as a review of the transaction’s legal structure and transaction documents. KBRA will review the operative agreements and legal opinions for the transaction prior to closing.
