AUTO1 Consolidates Financing SPVs as it has control and strong economic exposure
AUTO1 has no legal ownership of SPVs and no obligation to extend lenders
Only recourse of External Lenders is against SPV and the underlying loan receivable
Captive Finance financial liabilities are therefore not viewed part of net debt / cash by AUTO1
Downside exposure as high defaults mean SPVs won't repay all Notes, exposing Junior Notes to non-repayment
Base case / upside exposure from excess interest
