Private Firm Probability of Default Models for Community Banks CREDIT RESEARCH & RISK MEASUREMENT Private Firm Probability of Default Models for Community Banks RiskCalc™ Plus probability of default (PD) models are the premier tools to enhance your risk management processes for measuring private firm risk. RiskCalc models enable greater accuracy, consistency and efficiency when quantifying new and existing bank relationships. They also provide flexibility to assess businesses of all sizes and industries, including corporations, car dealerships, non- profits and real estate operators. These “off-the-shelf” models produce a forward-looking probability of default and other key metrics for a highly predictive measurement of standalone credit risk. Key Credit Risk Challenges Faced by Community Banks » Making better lending decisions by assessing loans based on credible, quantitative analytics » Enhancing business performance by maintaining competitive pricing » Addressing evolving regulatory requirements with transparent risk decision-making processes » Establishing an early warning system and a rank-ordering process to forecast future risk With Moody’s Analytics RiskCalc Plus, Community Banks can: » Accurately price credit risk and reduce origination costs » Monitor and benchmark commercial & small business loans » Identify early warning indicators to inform necessary loan covenants » Improve and standardize origination processes by differentiating risk before underwriting the loan » Mitigate long-term risks by managing portfolio outliers » Develop a systematic approach to allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) calculations for performing loans » Implement scalable risk management practices for evolving regulatory needs » Enhance the bank audit process This graph shows the relative contributions of the financial ratios used to calculate the EDF credit measures for a privately held firm. Gain Global Insight into the Private Firm Credit Market The predictive power of RiskCalc models is based on Moody’s Analytics Credit Research Database (CRD™). Built in partnership with over 75 leading financial institutions around the world, the CRD contains 60 million financial statements on over 14 million borrowers and over 900,000 private company defaults, yielding unique insight into private firm default probability. Our models are developed and tested on localprivate firm data to capture local default risk factors specific to each state. Risk managers can integrate PD models built from this extensive dataset into credit risk practices at community banks to effectively manage loan portfolios and underwriting processes. RiskCalc Plus for Community Banks RiskCalc Plus for Stress Testing The RiskCalc Plus solution offers the unique ability to provide both detailed and aggregate views incorporating sound assumptions and validation results, which can serve as primary, benchmark, or challenger models when stress testing credit portfolios. RiskCalc models generate credible outcomes and measure the change in risk profile under different stress scenarios, including CCAR supervisory scenarios, other broad economic scenarios, and organization-specific scenarios. The ratio-based model uses fundamental analysis to link RiskCalc ratios derived from the balance sheet and income statement to macroeconomic scenarios. It calculates nine quarters of stressed expected default frequency (EDF), two years of forward looking pro-forma financials, and provides optimal transparency into the change in financial ratios under various stressed environments. The model also offers analytical insight to the overall drivers and contributions to risk in your portfolio. The PD and LGD model aggregates exposures by credit quality and industry, with the ability to leverage an organization’s internal ratings. The model forecasts stressed EDF, loss given default (LGD), expected loss (EL), and charge-offs based on macroeconomic scenarios, debt type, loan balance and commitment, starting PD and LGD levels. It also forecasts losses, net charge offs, allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL), exposure at default (EAD) and provisions for 20 quarters. Key RiskCalc Plus Features » Comprised of a network of models developed and tested on local private-firm data to capture local default risk factors » Used as a standalone probability of default (PD) model, an input to an internal PD model or as a benchmarking tool » Accessed easily via the RiskCalc Plus website, through XML, or Moody’s Analytics’ integrated spreading platform; RiskCalc Plus software can also be stored behind your company’s firewall for added security » Produces EDF credit measures from one through five years and allows time series charting of PDs for up to five years » Compares obligors against industry peer groups using Peer Analysis functionality » Consider qualitative factors specific to the industry, management, balance sheet and market of the company with Qualitative Overlay » Maps EDF credit measures to agency ratings » Adjusts for unique industry differences » Captures the impact of credit cycle changes from month-to-month in the period between two financial statements » Displays valuable ratio diagnostics and their individual contributions and sensitivities to risk About Moody’s Analytics Moody’s Analytics, a unit of Moody’s Corporation, helps capital markets and credit risk management professionals worldwide respond to an evolving marketplace with confidence.

Many models have been developed for predicting the corporate failures in advance. To run the economy on the right pace the banking system of that economy must be strong enough to gauge the failure of the corporate in the repayment of loan. Financial crisis has been witnessed across the world from Latin America, to Asia, from Nordic Countries to East and Central European countries (CIMPOERU, 2015).

  • Chapter 5 Credit Risk
    Chapter 5 Credit risk 5.1 Basic definitions Credit risk is a risk of a loss resulting from the fact that a borrower or counterparty fails to fulfill its obligations under the agreed terms (because he or she either cannot or does not want to pay). Besides this definition, the credit risk also includes the following risks: Sovereign risk is the risk of a government or central bank being unwilling or • unable to meet its contractual obligations. Concentration risk is the risk resulting from the concentration of transactions with • regard to a person, a group of economically associated persons, a government, a geographic region or an economic sector. It is the risk associated with any single exposure or group of exposures with the potential to produce large enough losses to threaten a bank's core operations, mainly due to a low level of diversification of the portfolio. Settlement risk is the risk resulting from a situation when a transaction settlement • does not take place according to the agreed conditions. For example, when trading bonds, it is common that the securities are delivered two days after the trade has been agreed and the payment has been made. The risk that this delivery does not occur is called settlement risk. Counterparty risk is the credit risk resulting from the position in a trading in- • strument. As an example, this includes the case when the counterparty does not honour its obligation resulting from an in-the-money option at the time of its ma- turity. It also important to note that the credit risk is related to almost all types of financial instruments.

  • Securitisations: Tranching Concentrates Uncertainty1
    Adonis Antoniades Nikola Tarashev [email protected] [email protected] Securitisations: tranching concentrates uncertainty1 Even when securitised assets are simple, transparent and of high quality, risk assessments will be uncertain. This will call for safeguards against potential undercapitalisation. Since the uncertainty concentrates mainly in securitisation tranches of intermediate seniority, the safeguards applied to these tranches should be substantial, proportionately much larger than those for the underlying pool of assets. JEL classification: G24, G32. The past decade has witnessed the spectacular rise of the securitisation market, its dramatic fall and, recently, its timid revival. Much of this evolution reflected the changing fortunes of securitisations that were split into tranches of different seniority. Initially, such securitisations appealed strongly to investors searching for yield, as well as to banks seeking to reduce regulatory capital through the sale of judiciously selected tranches.2 Then, the financial crisis exposed widespread underestimation of tranche riskiness and illustrated that even sound risk assessments were not immune to substantial uncertainty. The crisis sharpened policymakers’ awareness that addressing the uncertainty in risk assessments is a precondition for a sustainable revival of the securitisation market. Admittedly, constructing simple and transparent asset pools would be a step towards reducing some of this uncertainty. That said, substantial uncertainty would remain and would concentrate in particular securitisation tranches. Despite the simplicity and transparency of the underlying assets, these tranches would not be simple. We focus on the uncertainty inherent in estimating the risk parameters of a securitised pool and study how it translates into uncertainty about the distribution of losses across tranches of different seniority.

  • The Price of Protection: Derivatives, Default Risk, and Margining∗
    The Price of Protection: Derivatives, Default Risk, and Margining∗ RAJNA GIBSON AND CARSTEN MURAWSKI† This draft: January 22, 2007 ABSTRACT Like many financial contracts, derivatives are subject to default risk. A very popular mechanism in derivatives markets to mitigate the risk of non-performance on contracts is margining. By attaching collateral to a contract, margining supposedly reduces default risk. The broader impacts of the different types of margins are more ambiguous, however. In this paper we develop both, a theoretical model and a simulated market model to investigate the effects of margining on trading volume, wealth, default risk, and welfare. Capturing some of the main characteristics of derivatives markets, we identify situations where margining may increase default risk while reducing welfare. This is the case, in particular, when collateral is scarce. Our results suggest that margining might have a negative effect on default risk and on welfare at times when market participants expect it to be most valuable, such as during periods of market stress. JEL CLASSIFICATION CODES: G19, G21.

We estimate various PD models and use them in the application to credit rating classification. Models include firm specific characteristics and macroeconomic or time effects. By linking estimated firms’ PDs with all their relations to banks we find that estimated PDs and credit ratings exhibit quite different measures of firms’ creditworthiness.

  • Extracting Implied Default Probabilities from CDS Spreads
    Sovereign default probabilities online - Extracting implied default probabilities from CDS spreads Global Risk Analysis Basics of credit default swaps Protection buyer (e.g. a bank) purchases insurance against the event of default (of a reference security or loan that the protection Credit default swap Premium Protection buyer holds) No payment seller No credit event Protection buyer (investor) Credit event Agrees with protection seller (e.g. an Payment investor) to pay a premium Credit Interest In the event of default, the protection Repayment seller has to compensate the Reference borrower protection buyer for the loss 2 What are CDS spreads? Definition: CDS spread = Premium paid by protection buyer to the seller Quotation: In basis points per annum of the contract’s notional amount Payment: Quarterly Example: A CDS spread of 339 bp for five-year Italian debt means that default insurance for a notional amount of EUR 1 m costs EUR 33,900 per annum; this premium is paid quarterly (i.e. EUR 8,475 per quarter) Note: Concept of CDS spread (insurance premium in % of notional) ≠ Concept of yield spread (yield differential of a bond over a “risk-free” equivalent, usually US Treasury yield or German Bund yield) 3 How do CDS spreads relate to the probability of default? The simple case For simplicity, consider a 1-year CDS contract and assume that the total premium is paid up front Let S: CDS spread (premium), p: default probability, R: recovery rate The protection buyer has the following expected payment: S His expected pay-off is (1-R)p When two parties enter a CDS trade, S is set so that the value of the swap transaction is zero, i.e.

  • Firm Default Probabilities Revisited1
    IFC-ECCBSO-CBRT Conference on “Uses of Central Balance Sheet Data Offices’ information” Co-organised by the IFC, the European Committee of Central Balance Sheet Data Offices (ECCBSO) and the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) Özdere‐İzmir, Turkey, 26 September 2016 Firm default probabilities revisited1 António Antunes, Homero Gonçalves and Pedro Prego, Bank of Portugal 1 This paper was prepared for the meeting. The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the BIS, the IFC or the central banks and other institutions represented at the meeting. Firm default probabilities revisited António Antunes Homero Gonçalves Banco de Portugal and NOVA SBE Banco de Portugal Pedro Prego Banco de Portugal April 2016 Abstract This article describes a tool to assess the creditworthiness of the Portuguese non-financial firms. In its design, the main goal is to find factors explaining the probability that any given firm will have a significant default episode vis-à-vis the banking system during the following year. Using information from the central credit register for period 2002–2015 and a comprehensive balance sheet data set for period 2005–2014, we develop a method to select explanatory variables and then estimate binary response models for ten strata of firms, defined in terms of size and sector of activity. We use this methodology for the classification of firms in terms of one-year probability of default consistent with typical values of existing credit rating systems, in particular the one used within the Eurosystem. We provide a brief characterisation of the Portuguese non-financial sector in terms of probabilities of default and transition between credit rating classes.
