Tesla Stops Bond Sale Backed by Auto Leases amidst Market Turmoil

    According to Bloomberg News, Tesla Inc. deferred an offering of more than $1 billion bonds that are backed by the electric vehicle leases, which is the third issuer in the last one week to stop the sale amidst ongoing turbulence in the market, as stated by the people that are aware of the matter. 

    What’s the story?

    The bankers for Tesla Inc. placed a commendable portion of the bonds with the fund managers even before stopping the marketing process. The person stated the same requested anonymity since it is a private offering. Rising inflation and concerns about the economic fallout due to the war between Russia and Ukraine have caused short-term rates of interest benchmarks to increase. This is why issuers have been halting the financial plans until the markets do not calm down. 

    Bloomberg News reports that World Omni, another auto finance firm, has also deferred an auto lease backed by a bond Friday, even after starting the marketing process. On the same day, the well-known “buy now, pay later” creditor firm Affirm Holdings Inc. decided to delay a debt backed by consumer installment loans. 

    There have been at least seven deals related to securitized debt that had to be shelved ever since the Russian invasion. In the last month, residential and two commercial mortgage bonds were deferred due to the weak financial market, which was further worsened by Federal Reserve’s money tightening measures. 

    Bloomberg News reports that Tesla’s ABS offering, TESLA 2022-A, was kicked off on March 7th, with pricing guidance. As per two individuals aware of the deal, the tranches were “subject” by Tuesday. It means that following their sale; the prices were imminent. However, any communication related to it fell silent, even before Tesla shelved it. 

    According to Bloomberg News reports, the ABS program was started by Tesla in 2018, and since then, seven transactions have been issued. Although Tesla has “limited experience” in underwriting, originating, and auto leasing servicing, mainly using a complete economic cycle, the company’s managed portfolio has fared well along with the securitizations with low credit losses that are low as per analysis by Fitch Ratings.
