Fitch Affirms Two Classes of Ally Auto Receivables Trust 2013-2

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- As part of its ongoing surveillance, Fitch Ratings has affirmed two classes of the Ally Auto Receivables Trust 2013-2 as follows:

-- Class A-3 at 'AAAsf'; Outlook Stable;

-- Class A-4 at 'AAAsf'; Outlook Stable.

Classes B, C and D are not rated by Fitch.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The rating actions are based on available credit enhancement (CE) and loss performance to date. The collateral pool continues to perform within Fitch's expectations. Under the current structure and CE, the securities are able to withstand stress scenarios consistent with the assigned ratings and make full payments to investors in accordance with the terms of the documents.

The ratings reflect the quality of Ally Financial's (AFIN) retail auto loan originations, the sound financial and legal structure of the transaction, and the strength of the servicing provided by AFIN.

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 and impact available loss coverage and multiples levels for the transactions. Lower loss coverage could affect the 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 a 1.5x and 2.5x increase of Fitch's base case loss expectations. To date, the transactions have exhibited strong performance with losses well within Fitch's initial expectations, with rising loss coverage and multiple levels. As such, 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.

Fitch's analysis of the Representation and Warranties (R&W) of this transaction can be found in Ally Auto Receivables Trust 2013-2 -- Appendix. These R&W are compared to those of typical R&W for the asset class as detailed in the special report 'Representations, Warranties, and Enforcement Mechanisms in Global Structured Finance Transactions' dated June 12, 2015.
