Hyundai Auto Receivables Trust 2022-B Annual Report - How They Did This Year

This is a friendly chat about Hyundai Auto Receivables Trust 2022-B. We'll explain what they did last year, ending December 31, 2025. We'll also discuss what this means for you as an investor. We'll skip the confusing financial jargon.

Hyundai Auto Receivables Trust 2022-B isn't a regular company. It doesn't sell products or services like Apple or Coca-Cola. Instead, it's an "Asset-Backed Security (ABS) Trust."

What does that mean? Imagine Hyundai Capital America gives out car loans. They bundle many of these loans together. Then they sell them to this Trust. The Trust then issues "notes" or "certificates" to investors like you. Your investment is backed by the payments people make on those car loans. When people pay their Hyundai car loans, that money flows through the Trust to investors. This is less about company profit. It's more about how those car loans perform.

Hyundai Auto Receivables Trust 2022-B started with about $1.2 billion in car loans. These were tens of thousands of individual loans. These loans form a diverse group. They often have an average FICO score of about 735. The average interest rate (APR) is around 5.25%. The original loan term averages about 68 months. The group usually includes new and used car loans. New vehicle loans often make up 80% or more of the initial value.

Here's what we've learned from their latest report for the year ended December 31, 2025:

1. What does this company do and how did they perform this year? This is an ABS Trust. Its main job is to hold car loans from Hyundai Capital America. It then passes those loan payments to investors. The Trust started on September 28, 2022. It issued different types of notes (Class A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4, B, C, and D). These notes totaled $1,200,000,000. Its performance depends on collecting principal and interest from the car loans.

   The companies managing the loans and Trust confirmed they follow all rules. Hyundai Capital America is the "Servicer." Citibank, N.A. is the "Indenture Trustee." Both companies' management certified compliance with Regulation AB. This covers servicing criteria under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. They also certified their internal financial controls. This follows Sarbanes-Oxley Act Sections 302 and 404. Independent auditors checked their work. They found no major issues with loan servicing. This is a good sign operations run smoothly. It ensures money is collected, assigned, and paid correctly to investors.

2. Major wins and challenges this year

   • Win: No known legal problems threaten the Trust. This also applies to Hyundai Capital America (the loan handler) or Citibank (the trustee). No big lawsuits threaten operations or assets. This avoids legal costs, reputational harm, or cash flow issues. It helps protect investor returns.
   • Win: Both Hyundai Capital America and Citibank, N.A. confirmed full compliance. They follow all rules for managing and servicing the Trust's car loans. This includes following Regulation AB servicing rules. It also means maintaining strong internal financial controls. This is required by Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404. Independent accountants checked this. They found no major problems. They issued a clean report on the servicer's compliance. This is like a clean bill of health for the Trust. It assures investors that operations supporting cash flows are strong.

3. Key risks that could hurt the market value of notes This isn't a company with "stock." Investors hold notes or certificates. The risk is to the market value of these notes. More importantly, it's about getting interest and principal payments on time and in full.

   The report clearly states no major lawsuits could harm note or certificate holders. This removes a common risk. Lawsuits could otherwise cause big financial problems or operational issues for the Trust.

In a nutshell: For the year ending December 31, 2025, Hyundai Auto Receivables Trust 2022-B runs smoothly. Its Servicer and Trustee confirm they follow all rules. This includes Regulation AB and Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404. The key players managing the car loans follow the rules. No major legal issues threaten the Trust's operations or cash flow. Remember, ABS Trust investing is about how the car loans perform. This report focuses on the Trust's operational health. It assures that payment collection and distribution from the initial $1.2 billion loan group works as planned. Investors should keep watching monthly servicer reports. These show delinquencies, defaults, and prepayments. This helps fully assess the Trust's financial health.
