The used car market continues to be strong. But our in-the-market research and information is showing us that it is a critical time for lenders to start paying closer attention to vehicle value movements, not
only at the segment level but model by model as well.
Depreciation
Vehicle Values (and as a result LTVs) can change dramatically after origination and
DEPRECIATION CURVES VARY CONSIDERABLY between years/makes/models.
This results is an industry-wide difficulty in predicting and understanding loss severity/recovery
rates. Even within the same segment, depreciation rates after 1-year can vary dramatically.
Why should you refresh your Portfolio?
- Collateral Value Refreshes:
- Show how LTVs migrate from the time of origination to now
- Identify pockets of highest versus lowest collateral risk
- Show the future value (12, 24, 30, 36 up to 72 months) of each vehicle in the
portfolio
- Provide ancillary data on the portfolio like fuel mileage, vehicle
classification, etc.
- Help track the effects of other variables on LTV (Credit Score, Term, vehicle
segment, fuel economy, etc.)
- Lenders currently use refresh values to:
- Develop credit and collection models
- Forecast Loss and recovery rates
- Implement dealer management strategies
- Enhance collection strategies

Introducing the Black Book Risk Score
The Black Book Risk Score takes a comprehensive look at a multitude
of micro, macro, historical, and projected factors to rank-order vehicles
with regard to their potential collateral risk, allowing lenders to better
understand their recovery rates and loss severity.
What Our Lenders Are Saying…
Head of Risk for Top 3 Auto Lender… “We’re great at predicting who is likely to default, but we suck at predicting the severity of loss
for those that go bad”
Almost every lender we meet with…. “Our recovery rates our great. That’s wonderful. But what about all this business we’re booking
using these sky-high vehicle values? When is the bubble going to pop?”
What is Collateral Risk? – What does it affect
It is the risk associated with:
• the retention of a vehicle’s value over the remaining balance during life of the loan
• the impact of dealer entered adds and deducts
• the likely condition (miles, wear and tear) of each vehicle at the time of sale at auction
It is influenced by several factors, including:
• historical and projected depreciation curves at the vehicle year, make, model and trim level
• the driving patterns and the maintenance of the typical owner for each vehicle
• inaccuracy propensity of the collateral details
• manufacturer - and model - related factors
• macro factors such as supply/demand, oil prices and economy
While BBR cannot tell you what your recovery rate will be, it does show a rank order that has
correlated with recovery rates by specific vehicles. This is a similar approach to credit models built by
FICO and others.
The Black Book Risk Score (BBR) • Through several discussions with the auto-lending community, Black Book identified a need to report
collateral risk inherent in auto lending at the vehicle level.
In 2008 there was a sharp drop in collateral value causing higher than expected losses
In 2009 a significant rebound occurred; the reaction from lenders varied considerably
Currently, vehicle values are at a historic high causing originators and portfolio managers concern about the risk this presents
Many lenders have very basic collateral risk assessments but acknowledge the need for more
• Validation files have shown the score quantifies and rank-orders the degree of collateral risk by vehicles down to the year/make/model/trim level.
Different vehicles have reacted very differently during the past 3 movements and this is a consistent observation going back decades
Predictive data elements have been modeled and turned into an easy to use -150 to 150 score
• Lender identified uses include: underwriting and pricing models; collections models, loss forecasting, dealer profitability and credit analyst performance.
Using collateral risk scores will enhance yields, portfolio quality and returns and assist with better
dealer management strategies.
Different Vehicles Depreciate Differently
There are many factors that affect depreciation curves; Black Book has historical depreciation curves to understand how changes in the economy, vehicle model and the market impact vehicles over time.
Available Data for Score Development
Black Book has extensive data on vehicles that includes:
• Historical (back to 1999) and current trends of vehicle values
• Forecasted residual value trends (12 months to 72 months)
• Auction vehicle and pricing data
• Auction survey data on vehicle conditions
• Manufacturer pricing data on options
• Number of VINs mapped to a vehicle
• Gas mileage efficiency by vehicle
• Fleet usage by vehicle
• Economic data (in partnership with our sister company Fitch Ratings)
Using the industry’s best data allows for the most informed decision-making regarding
underwriting, pricing, collections strategies and remarketing strategies
