OREANDA-NEWS. Fitch Ratings affirms GE Equipment Transportation LLC (GE ET), series 2014-1 and revises Rating Outlooks as indicated

KEY RATING DRIVERS
The affirmation of all outstanding classes in GE ET 2014-1 is reflective of credit enhancement (CE) levels that are consistent with the ratings and strong collateral performance to date. As of the May 2015 payment date, only 3 basis points (bps) of cumulative net losses have been experienced, which is lower than Fitch's initial expectations for the pool.

The Positive Outlook for the class B and C notes reflects Fitch's expectation for loss coverage to continue improving as the transaction amortizes and CE levels continue to build. The Positive Outlook also reflects Fitch's view that the notes will continue to perform well and may warrant a review for potential positive rating action in the next 12-18 months.

RATING SENSITIVITIES
Unanticipated increases in the frequency of defaults and loss severity could produce loss levels higher than the current projected base case loss proxies which would impact available loss coverage. Lower loss coverage could impact ratings and Rating Outlooks, depending on the extent of the decline in coverage. In Fitch's initial review of the transactions, the notes were found to have limited sensitivity to 1.5x and 2.5x higher of Fitch's base case loss expectations. Initial Key Rating Drivers and Rating Sensitivities are further described in the Presale Report dated June 9, 2014.

To date, the transaction have exhibited strong performance with losses inside of Fitch's initial expectations with rising loss coverage and multiple levels. As such, continued strong performance for this transaction would most likely result in further positive rating actions. Conversely, a material deterioration in performance would have to occur within these asset pools to have potential negative impact on the outstanding ratings.}
