Securitization of Receivables |
5. Securitization of Receivables The following summarizes certain transactions with our securitization trusts:
In connection with securitization transactions, we typically retain servicing responsibilities and residual assets. In certain instances, we receive annual servicing fees ranging from 0.05% to 0.20% of the outstanding balance. Included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets are our servicing assets at amortized cost and our residual assets at fair value. Our residual assets are subordinate to investors’ interests, and their values are subject to credit, prepayment and interest rate risks on the transferred financial assets. The investors and the securitization trusts have no recourse to our other assets for failure of debtors to pay when due. In computing gains and losses on securitizations, we use the same 8% discount rate we use for the fair value calculation of residual assets, which is determined based on a review of comparable market transactions. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, our managed assets totaled $3.2 billion and $2.5 billion, of which $1.8 billion and $1.7 billion were securitized assets held in unconsolidated securitization trusts. There were no securitization credit losses in 2015, 2014 or 2013, and no material securitization delinquencies as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. The securitized assets consist of financing receivables from contracts for the installation of energy efficiency and other technologies in facilities owned by, or operated for or by, the federal government where the ultimate obligor is the U.S. federal government. The contracts may have guarantees of energy savings from third party service providers, the majority of which are entities rated investment grade by an independent rating agency. Based on the nature of the receivables and experience-to-date, we do not currently expect to incur any credit losses on the receivables sold. |
