DBRS Limited (Morningstar DBRS) confirmed the credit ratings on the following notes issued by Silver Arrow Canada LP as part of Morningstar DBRS' continued effort to provide market participants with updates on an annual basis.

2022-1 Class A-2 Asset Backed Notes (the Class A-2 Notes) at AAA (sf)

2022-1 Class A-3 Asset Backed Notes (the Class A-3 Notes; together with the Class A-2 Notes, the Notes) at AAA (sf)

The credit rating confirmations are based on the following factors as of December 2023:

Credit protection is provided by overcollateralization and a nonamortizing cash reserve account representing approximately 6.4% and 0.6%, respectively, of the outstanding Note balance. In addition, excess spread is available to offset collection shortfalls on a monthly basis. Current excess spread is approximately 3.9%, before any assumed provision for replacement servicer fees.
(2)	Total CE has grown to approximately 7.0% from 2.8% at the time of the initial rating.
(3)	To date, cumulative losses remain low and have amounted to 8 basis points of the Initial Pool Balance and is below Morningstar DBRS' expectations set at the time of the initial rating.
(4)	Mercedes-Benz Group AG (formerly Daimler AG) (rated A with a Stable trend by Morningstar DBRS), the parent company of Mercedes-Benz Financial Services Corporation, remains above investment grade as of November 2023.
