KEY RATING DRIVERS

Strong Collateral Quality: The 2015-A pool is relatively consistent with recently issued HART transactions, exhibiting a weighted average (WA) Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) score of 743 and new vehicles comprising 94.5% of the pool. WA seasoning is slightly higher, relative to 2013?2014 HART transactions, at 8.4 months.

Sufficient CE Structure: Initial hard credit enhancement (CE) for all classes is similar to recent transactions. In addition, target levels have not changed from prior deals, and excess spread is expected to be 1.98%, down slightly from HART 2014-B's 2.27%. Initial CE is sufficient to withstand Fitch's base case cumulative net loss (CNL) proxy of 1.65% for all classes of notes at each class' respective loss coverage multiple.

Improved Loss Performance: HCA's portfolio and securitization losses declined significantly from peak 2008 levels, driven by stronger underwriting and credit quality, as well as the improving U.S. economy and stable used vehicle values.

Stable Origination, Underwriting and Servicing: HCA demonstrates adequate abilities as originator, underwriter and servicer to service 2015-A, as evidenced by the historical performance of its managed portfolio and securitizations.

Integrity of the Legal Structure: The legal structure of the transaction should provide that a bankruptcy of HCA would not impair the timeliness of the payments on the securities.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Unanticipated increases in the frequency of defaults and loss severity on defaulted receivables could produce loss levels higher than the base case. This could result in potential rating actions on the notes. Fitch evaluated the sensitivity of the ratings assigned to all classes of 2015-A to increased losses over the life of the transaction. Fitch's analysis found that the notes display limited sensitivity to increased defaults and losses, showing no expected impact on the rating of the notes under Fitch's moderate (1.5x base case loss) scenario. The notes could experience a downgrade of one to two rating categories under Fitch's severe (2.5x base case loss) scenario.
