KEY RATING DRIVERS

Stable Collateral Quality: 2016-A has a weighted average (WA) FICO score of 732, a decrease from prior securitizations but consistent with a prime portfolio. The base residual value percentage has decreased marginally to 68.94% from 69.52% in WOLS 2015-A.

Collateral Concentration Risks: The two largest models (Toyota Camry and RAV4) total 39% of the portfolio in 2016-A compared to 45% for the two largest models (Toyota Camry and Corolla) in 2015-A. Camry and RAV4 models have produced low residual value (RV) losses historically. While the lease maturities in 2016-A are heavily concentrated at the end of 2018 and first half of 2019, the overall portfolio has a WA original term of 37.6 months, in line with 2015-A.

Adequate Credit Enhancement Structure: Initial credit enhancement (CE) is expected to be 17.65% and 13.65% of the initial securitization value (SV) for the class A and B notes, respectively, growing to 19.15% and 15.15% of the initial SV. Fitch's 'BB' RV loss expectation is 9.30% of base residual and Fitch's credit loss proxy is 0.85% of SV.

Evolving Wholesale Market: The U. S. wholesale vehicle market has been normalizing following strong performance in recent years. Fitch expects that increasing off-lease vehicle supply and pressure from increased production levels will lead to decreased residual realizations during the life of the transaction.

Quality of Origination, Underwriting, and Servicing Platform: World Omni demonstrates adequate abilities as originator, underwriter, and servicer, as evidenced by historical delinquency, credit loss, and RV loss performance of the managed portfolio and securitizations.

Legal Structure Integrity: The legal structure of the transaction should provide that a bankruptcy of World Omni would not impair the timeliness of payments on the notes.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Unanticipated decreases in the value of returned vehicles and/or increases in the frequency of defaults and loss severity on defaulted receivables could produce loss levels higher than the base case and would likely result in declines of CE and loss coverage levels available to the notes. Hence, Fitch conducts sensitivity analyses by increasing the transaction's initial base case RV and credit loss assumptions and examining the rating implications on all classes of issued notes. The increases to the base case losses are applied such that they represent moderate (1.5x) and severe (2.5x) stresses, and are intended to provide an indication of the rating sensitivity of notes to unexpected deterioration of a trust's performance.

DUE DILIGENCE USAGE
