  19. Essential Component Details   

  20. Capacity Section Overview • Perhaps the most important issue • Explain: • What is borrower’s capacity to bear burden of proposed debt while still making necessary investments to remain competitive and or viable?

  21. Cash Flow Analysis • Most important component • Debt service coverage (DSC) ratio • Minimum requirements • Riskier loan types

  22. Capacity Components • Revenue stability & growth • Margin protection – Gross Margin/Sales Less: COGS Cost of Goods Sold • Cash flow • Fixed charge coverage • What is the hurdle? • What is pro forma (forecast or projected)coverage? • How much cushion is implied • Perform a sensitivity analysis

  23. Cash Flow/Fixed Charge Analysis • Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (FCCR) EBITDA / P+I+T+C+D • Forward looking analysis • Can they repay the proposed debt? • NOT a historical review of the performance, cash flows or loan structure covenants

  24. Conditions • General • Define the industry • Specific • Assess the industry • Market position • Client specific

  25. General Industry Conditions • Define and industry – General • Cyclical or Seasonal • Where are they now? • Growth, mature, declining, consolidating • Competitive threats • Legislative or political threats

  26. Specific Industry Conditions • Assess the industry – Specific • Barriers to entry • Competition • Customers • Suppliers • Substitutes

  27. Market Position Conditions • Market Position – Client Specific • Market share • Leader / follower • RMA statistics (resource & reference in materials) • SWOT analysis • Strengths • Weaknesses • Opportunities • Threats

  28. Capital • Owner’s investment in the business • Paid in capital/Other equity • Retained earnings • Cushion to withstand disruption Member’s “skin in the game”

  30. Collateral • Secondary source of repayment • Specify what secures the loan • Identify any competing claims • Summarize important aspects • What is the primary collateral? • Quality of collateral (specialized, sing purpose, or active market) • Coverage rate or air ball percentage • Recovery costs and expectations

  31. Collateral Summary

  32. Loan to Value (LTV) • LTV ratio Loan Amount / Appraised Value = LTV • Key risk factor • Valuation of property • Maximum LTV ratio • Property types influence LTV

  33. Property / Collateral Analysis • Property or collateral analysis is the valuation of assets pledged against a loan • Fair market value • Investment property collateral • Non real estate collateral • Forced sale of collateral

  34. Internal Controls • Separation of functions is critical • Credit and Underwriting • Approval Process • Sales and Relationship Management • Collections and Workout Actions

  35. Risk Rating Commercial Loans

  36. Loan Risk Rating System • Primary indicator of credit exposure • Used for a variety of purposes • Approval requirements • Portfolio management • Identifying problem loans • Loan pricing • Loan loss reserve calculations • An important element • No one correct rating system

  37. Structure of Rating System • Four minimum categories • Pass • Substandard • Doubtful • Loss • Additional categories • Watch list • Special mention

  38. Pass ratings • At least three categories • Exception Risk • Unquestioned primary source of loan repayment; no apparent risk • Very Good or Good Quality • Primary source of repayment very likely to be sufficient, with secondary sources readily available; strong financial position; minimal risk; profitability, liquidity and capitalization are better than industry norms

  39. Pass ratings • At least three categories • Acceptable or Standard • Primary source of loan repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary; loan within normal credit standards; requires average amount of Loan Officer attention; company is of average size within its industry and may have difficulty accessing or does not have access to public markets for short term or capital needs

  40. Marginal Rating • Risk rating systems should have a transitory or marginal risk rating classification • A credit union should have at least one of the following categories: • Watch List • Loans having potential weaknesses that deserve management’s attention; these loans don’t go on the special mention list. Not adversely classified and don’t expose an institution to significant risk.

  41. Marginal Rating • A credit union should have at least one of the following categories: • Special Mention • Special mention loans are commercial loans needing close operating attention or action to mitigate possible weakness. These commercial loans have emerging identifiable problems.

  42. Adversely Classified Risk Ratings • Loans with some impairment • Fall into three categories • Substandard (least severe) • Defined weaknesses or negative trends meriting close monitoring • Doubtful • Vital weaknesses exist where collection of principal is highly questionable • Loss (most severe) • Uncollectible and of such little value the continuance as an asset is not warranted

  43. Substandard Definition • Asset inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. • Assets so classified must have well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. • Categorized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. • Non-Interest accrual status has been attained

  44. Doubtful Definition • An asset having all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

  45. Loss Definition • Asset is considered uncollectible and of such little value that its continuance on the books is not warranted. • This classification does not mean the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value; rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

  47. Key Points • When are ratings assigned? • How often are ratings reviewed? • Segregation • Examiners
