Fitch Affirms Seven Classes of CarMax Auto Owner Trust 2015-3

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- As part of its ongoing surveillance, Fitch Ratings has affirmed seven classes of outstanding notes of CarMax Auto Owner Trust 2015-3. A full list of rating actions follows at the end of this press release.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The rating affirmations are based on available credit enhancement and loss performance. The collateral pool continues to perform within Fitch's expectations. Based on the current structure and credit enhancement, 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 CarMax Business Services, LLC's retail auto loan originations, the strength of its servicing capabilities, and the sound financial and legal structure of the transactions.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Unanticipated increases in the frequency of defaults and loss severity could produce loss levels higher than the current projected base case loss proxy, and impact available loss coverage and multiples levels for the transaction. 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 transaction, the notes were found to have limited sensitivity to a 1.5x and 2.5x increase of Fitch's base case loss expectation. To date, the transaction has exhibited stable performance with losses within Fitch's initial expectations with rising loss coverage and multiple levels. Therefore, a material deterioration in performance would have to occur within the asset pool to have potential negative impact on the outstanding ratings

DUE DILIGENCE USAGE

No third-party due diligence was provided or reviewed for this rating action.

Fitch has affirmed the ratings and revised the Outlook on the following:
