OREANDA-NEWS. Fitch Ratings affirms all classes of John Deere Owner Trusts 2012-B and 2013-B at their current ratings. A full list of rating actions follows at the end of this press release.

KEY RATING DRIVERS
The affirmations of the class A notes reflect loss coverage levels consistent with the current ratings. As of the June 2015 reporting period, cumulative net losses totaled 9 basis points and 14 basis points for JDOT 2012-B and 2013-B, respectively. Both transactions are performing within their respective initial base case loss proxies. The Stable Outlook for all classes reflects Fitch's expectation for loss coverage and credit enhancement to continue to improve as the transactions amortize.

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 new issue report published Aug. 27, 2012 for JDOT 2012-B and Aug. 26, 2013 for the JDOT 2013-B presale.

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

DUE DILIGENCE USAGE
No third party due diligence was provided or reviewed in relation to this rating action.
