Scope upgrades the fixed rate notes issued by Solis Real Assets Luxemburg - Compartment I
Rating action
Scope Ratings GmbH (Scope) has taken the following rating action on the instrument issued by Solis Real Assets Luxemburg - Compartment I:
Lessee Payment Contingent Fixed Rate Notes, EUR 12.6m outstanding: upgraded to BBB+SF from BBBSF
Key transaction features
The transaction is a cash securitisation of bicycle leases with residual value exposure, originated by Lesora GmbH (previously Hofmann Leasing GmbH) issued in November 2023. A detailed description of the transaction features and analytical assumptions, at closing, can be found in the transaction´s rating report, available at Scope´s website.
The issuer is exposed to Lesora GmbH as originator and servicer, BLS Bikeleasing-Service GmbH & Co. KG as operational servicer, Kreis-Sparkasse Northeim as the servicer account bank, Baden-Württembergische Bank as the issuer account bank and Greenium Service GmbH as the calculation agent.
Relevant changes to the key transaction features
As of reporting date (August 2025), credit enhancement on the notes has increased to 9.9% from 9.5% at closing. The underlying portfolio has an expected remaining weighted average life of approximately 0.8 years (assuming no defaults or prepayments), and the pool factor stands at 40.8%.
Rating rationale
The rating action follows: i) the periodic re-assessment of the transaction´s key rating drivers, ii) a review of its key assumptions, considering the observed performance of the collateral and Scope’s economic outlook, and iii) any material changes to the key transaction features such as portfolio composition, structural features or counterparties.
The upgrade of the notes is primarily driven by the strong performance of the transaction, which has led to accelerated deleveraging. As a result, credit enhancement levels have increased, strengthening the notes’ ability to withstand potential credit stress.
The notes’ current rating reflects the updated quantitative analysis base case results.
Key rating drivers:
The key rating drivers remain aligned with those disclosed on the rating action release dated 8 November 2024.
Key quantitative assumptions
-
The portfolio´s lifetime default rate, which follows an inverse gaussian distribution.
- Rating-level conditional recovery rates.
Updates to these assumptions and other parameters are provided under the section ‘Quantitative analysis.’
Key performance metrics1
As of August 2025, the servicer reported a cumulative default rate of 0.18% of the total originated portfolio balance. Based on the transaction’s 60-days-past-due default definition, the cumulative default rate to date stands at 2.3%.
Other key performance indicators include: a dynamic 30-day-past-due delinquency rate of 0.55%, a cumulative recovery rate of 19.2% on reported defaulted exposures, and an annualised early repayment rate of 6.2%.
Key data sources
Scope’s review was based on available reporting reflecting performance up to August 2025 payment date. The analysis also factored in Scope´s Consumer and Auto ABS outlook.
Rating-change drivers
A change to the key quantitative assumptions based on observed performance or new data sources, significant changes to the key transaction´s features, and a change in Scope’s credit views regarding the key rating drivers could impact the ratings.
Sensitivity analysis
This analysis is solely intended to illustrate the sensitivity of the credit rating to the assumed parameters and, all else being equal, does not reflect expected or likely scenarios.
Lessee Payment Contingent Fixed Rate Notes:
-
50% increase of mean lifetime default rate: minus two notches.
- 50% decrease of recovery rates: minus one notch.
Quantitative analysis
This section outlines a list of key quantitative parameters that have changed since closing:
- Default rate distribution parameters: the mean default rate has been revised to 2.0% from 1.4%, while the corresponding coefficient of variation has been adjusted to 105.6% from 137.2%.
The rest of the assumptions remains unchanged.

Stress testing
Stress testing was considered in the quantitative analysis by considering scenarios that stress factors, like defaults and Credit-Rating-adjusted recoveries, contributing to sensitivity of Credit Ratings and consider the likelihood of severe collateral losses or impaired cash flows. The impact on the rated instruments is weighted by the assumptions of the likelihood of the events in such scenarios occurring.
Cash flow analysis
Scope Ratings performed a cash flow analysis of the transaction with the use of Scope Ratings’ Cash Flow Model Master Waterfall Version 1.1 incorporating relevant asset assumptions and taking into account the transaction’s main structural features, such as the instruments’ priority of payments, the instruments’ size and coupons. The outcome of the analysis is an expected loss rate and an expected weighted average life for the instruments based on the generated cash flows.
