Rationale The preliminary ratings assigned to Hyundai Auto Lease Securitization Trust 2020-A's (HALST 2020-A's) auto lease asset-backed notes series 2020-A reflect our view of: - The availability of approximately 23.6% and 19.1% credit enhancement for the class A and B notes, respectively, in the form of 4.50% subordination to the class A notes; 12.50% www.standardandpoors.com January 8, 2020 2 © S&P Global Ratings.

Presale: Hyundai Auto Lease Securitization Trust 2020-A overcollateralization, which will build to a target of 13.50% of the initial securitization value; a 0.50% nonamortizing reserve account; and excess spread (all percentages are measured in terms of the pool's initial aggregate securitization value). - The credit quality of the underlying collateral, which comprises prime auto lease receivables that have a weighted average FICO score of 752. - Our expectation that under a moderate 'BBB' stress scenario, all else being equal, our preliminary ratings on the class A notes would not likely be lowered, and the preliminary rating on the class B notes would not likely be lowered more than one rating category for the transaction's life. Our expectation for the class A notes exceeds our ratings stability criteria, which state that 'AAA' and 'AA' ratings will remain within one rating category for the first year, under moderate stress conditions. Our expectation for the class B notes is in line with our criteria (see "Methodology: Credit Stability Criteria," published May 3, 2010). - The diversified mix of vehicle models in the pool. - The relatively even distribution of the expected residuals' maturities. - Automotive Lease Guide's (ALG's) forecast of each vehicle's lease-inception and current residual value. - The timely interest and full principal payments by the notes' legal final maturity dates made under cash flow scenarios that were stressed for credit and residual losses and are consistent with the assigned preliminary ratings. - The transaction's payment and legal structures. Our expected credit loss for the HALST 2020-A pool is 0.90% of the securitization value, which reflects the performance of the outstanding HALST transactions, the static pool loss projections for Hyundai Capital America Inc.'s (HCA's) lease originations, the performance on the managed portfolio, collateral comparisons with peers, and our forward-looking view of the economy, namely our expectation for lower used vehicle values (see the Collateral Analysis section below for more information). Our 'AAA' stress scenario for credit loss is 4.50% of the securitization value, and our 'AA+' stress is 4.05%. Our 'AAA' and 'AA+' residual stress for the HALST 2020-A pool is 27.28% and 24.13%, respectively, of the pool's aggregate undiscounted base residual value. After applying this stress to the residual value portion of the pool (63.13%) and the nondefaulting leases (91.00% under the 'AAA' stress and 91.90% under the 'AA+' stress), our 'AAA' and 'AA+' residual stress constitutes 15.67% and 13.65%, respectively, of the pool's aggregate securitization value. One of the main considerations in our analysis to derive our haircuts was a comparison of the HALST 2020-A base residual value with the historical auction proceeds data, which the issuer provided. In addition, we incorporated an analysis of the residual maturity schedule, vehicle model composition, and our views on the used-vehicle market. Our total stressed losses (credit and residual) are approximately 20.17% and 17.70% for the 'AAA' and 'AA+' rated notes, respectively, as a percentage of the initial aggregate securitization value. In our view, the credit enhancement outlined above and in the Cash Flow Modeling section below provide more than adequate support for our assigned preliminary ratings. www.standardandpoors.com January 8, 2020 3 © S&P Global Ratings.
