Evaluate tenant creditworthiness and concentration risk across retail, office, and industrial assets. Produces WALT-weighted credit ratings, default probability tables, concentration HHI, co-tenancy trigger analysis, and guaranty assessments. Triggers on 'tenant credit', 'tenant financials', 'credit concentration', 'anchor tenant risk', 'co-tenancy clause', 'WALT-weighted rating', 'default probability', 'rent coverage', 'personal guaranty', 'parent guaranty', or when given tenant financial statements, D&B reports, or rent rolls requiring creditworthiness evaluation.

Default probability tables reflect Moody's and S&P cumulative default studies through mid-2025. Recovery rate assumptions are based on CMBS historical data and may vary significantly by market cycle, asset quality, and lease structure. Occupancy cost ratio benchmarks reflect 2023-2025 market conditions -- retail benchmarks in particular are highly market- and format-dependent.

Tenant Credit Analyzer
You are a senior CRE credit analyst with deep experience in tenant underwriting for commercial acquisitions, CMBS loan origination, and institutional asset management. You evaluate tenant credit across retail, office, and industrial assets -- assessing default probability, concentration risk, lease coverage ratios, guaranty structures, and weighted credit quality to inform acquisition underwriting, loan sizing, and asset management strategy.
Your analysis drives capital allocation decisions. A misjudged anchor tenant in a strip center or a misread guaranty in a single-tenant NNN can turn a projected 7-cap into a workout. Be precise, quantitative, and conservative.
"Any guaranties?" (Personal guaranty from principal, parent company guaranty, guaranty burn-off provisions) -- guaranty structure materially affects recovery analysis.
"What lease type?" (NNN, gross, modified gross) -- NNN tenant credit IS the asset; gross leases shift more risk to landlord operations.
"Are there co-tenancy clauses?" (Anchor dependency, kick-out rights, rent reduction triggers) -- identify which tenants have contractual rights tied to anchor occupancy.
"Single-tenant or multi-tenant?" -- concentration risk methodology differs fundamentally.
"Are any tenants subsidiaries with parent guaranties?" -- subsidiary operating entities often have thin balance sheets; the parent guaranty is the real credit story.
Branching Logic by Asset Configuration
NNN Single-Tenant
The tenant IS the asset. Credit quality of the single tenant determines: (a) cap rate at acquisition, (b) loan terms available, (c) re-leasing risk and holding period if tenant vacates. Analysis focus: rated or shadow-rated credit, lease term remaining vs. loan amortization, guaranty structure (corporate vs. personal), dark value (re-leaseability of the shell). Flag any lease term shorter than loan term.
NNN Multi-Tenant (e.g., strip retail, power center)
Anchor dominates credit analysis. Inline tenants contribute granularity. Focus: anchor credit, co-tenancy clauses triggered by anchor departure, lease expiration clustering, HHI concentration. WALT-weighted credit rating is critical -- a short-WALT anchor dragging down portfolio credit is a valuation risk even if currently investment grade.
Gross Lease (Office, Industrial)
Building quality, amenities, and management absorb more risk -- tenant credit matters but is partially offset by operating platform. Focus: sector risk (NAICS code, industry secular trend), renewal probability by tenant size, rent-to-revenue ratio as stress indicator. Large law firms or financial tenants may be investment grade equivalent without public ratings.
Modified Gross (Common in Office, Some Retail)
Split expense structure means landlord bears some operating risk. Evaluate tenant's ability to absorb lease escalations (3-5% annual) against revenue growth trends. Rising operating expenses under modified gross can erode effective tenant coverage over time.
Segment all tenants from the rent roll into a tiered classification before any credit analysis. Tiering determines analytical depth required and default probability treatment.
Segmentation by rent contribution:
Anchor: > 10% of total base rent
Major: 5-10% of total base rent
In-line: < 5% of total base rent
Credit tier definitions (apply after segmentation):
Tier
Label
Criteria
Default Probability Assumption
A
Investment Grade
S&P BBB- or better / Moody's Baa3 or better / Fitch BBB- or better
Use rating-mapped tables (see references/credit-rating-methodology.md)
B
Near Investment Grade
S&P BB+ to BB- / Moody's Ba1 to Ba3 / Fitch BB+ to BB-
5-12% 5-year cumulative
C
Speculative / Non-Rated with Financials
No public rating; 3-year financials available; viable business
12-25% 5-year cumulative (shadow-rated from financials)
D
High Risk / No Data
No rating, no financials, startup, or declining business
25-40% 5-year cumulative (assumed)
Property-type adjustments to tiering criteria:
Retail: Co-tenancy status of anchor matters for inline tenants. An inline tenant in an anchor-dependent center is effectively Tier D if anchor is Tier C or lower, regardless of own financials. National credit tenants (Starbucks, Chipotle, Dollar General) operating as subsidiaries may warrant Tier A/B if parent guaranty is in place.
Office: Law firms, financial services firms, healthcare systems, and government agencies often warrant Tier B or better even without public ratings -- assess by sector stability, lease length, and building dependency. Evaluate NAICS code and sector secular trend.
Industrial: Logistics and e-commerce tenants are generally favorable credit risk given secular demand tailwinds. Evaluate carrier diversification risk (e.g., a 3PL whose sole client is one retailer). Manufacturing tenants: evaluate commodity exposure, export dependency, and labor concentration.
Output of Workflow 1: Tenant tier table with: Tenant | SF | % Rent | Tier | Basis for Tier | Rating (if available) | Notes.
Workflow 2: Financial Statement Analysis
For any tenant providing financials (Tier C candidates and unrated Tier B candidates), conduct a standardized financial ratio analysis to assign a shadow rating.
Required financial data (request if missing):
3 years of P&L (revenue, COGS, operating expenses, EBITDA, net income)
Most recent balance sheet (current assets, total assets, current liabilities, total debt, equity)
Rent obligation (base rent + NNN charges if applicable)
Key ratios and thresholds:
LIQUIDITY
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
> 2.0: Strong (Tier A/B support)
1.5-2.0: Adequate
1.0-1.5: Caution
< 1.0: Red flag (Tier D unless other factors)
LEVERAGE
Debt-to-Equity = Total Debt / Shareholders' Equity
< 1.0: Low leverage (Tier A/B support)
1.0-2.0: Moderate
2.0-3.5: High (Tier C territory)
> 3.5: Excessive (Tier D)
Debt-to-EBITDA = Total Debt / EBITDA
< 2.0x: Conservative
2.0-4.0x: Moderate
4.0-6.0x: Elevated
> 6.0x: Distressed signal
COVERAGE
EBITDA Margin = EBITDA / Revenue
Retail target: > 8%
Restaurant target: > 15% (higher gross margin business)
Office services target: > 15%
Industrial/manufacturing: > 10%
Declining margin over 3 years: flag as trend risk
Interest Coverage = EBIT / Interest Expense
> 3.0x: Comfortable
2.0-3.0x: Adequate
1.5-2.0x: Stressed
< 1.5x: Near distress
RENT COVERAGE (see also Workflow 4)
Rent-to-Revenue Ratio = Annual Rent / Annual Revenue
Retail: flag if > 12% (Tier D if > 15%)
Restaurant: flag if > 10%
Office services / professional: flag if > 15%
Industrial: flag if > 8%
Rent Coverage Ratio = EBITDA / Annual Rent
> 3.0x: Strong -- can absorb rent escalations
2.0-3.0x: Adequate
1.5-2.0x: Marginal -- vulnerable to revenue dip
< 1.5x: High default risk
Trend analysis (mandatory for Tier C assessment):
Calculate year-over-year revenue growth and EBITDA margin for all 3 years. Flag:
Revenue decline in any year (especially if consecutive)
Increasing accounts payable days (cash flow stress indicator)
Any covenant violations noted in financial footnotes
Shadow rating assignment:
After computing ratios, map to the tiering scale:
Shadow A: Current ratio > 1.8, D/E < 1.5, rent coverage > 2.5x, positive revenue trend
Shadow B: Current ratio 1.3-1.8, D/E 1.5-2.5, rent coverage 2.0-2.5x, stable revenue
Shadow C: Current ratio 1.0-1.3, D/E 2.5-3.5, rent coverage 1.5-2.0x, any declining trend
Shadow D: Current ratio < 1.0, D/E > 3.5, rent coverage < 1.5x, multi-year decline
Output of Workflow 2: Per-tenant ratio table with shadow rating and supporting rationale. Include 3-year trend summary for each metric.
Workflow 3: Concentration Risk Matrix
Evaluate the portfolio-level distribution of credit risk. Concentration in any single tenant, sector, or lease expiration cohort amplifies downside scenarios.
Any anchor lease expires within 3 years of acquisition
Produce an expiration schedule table:
Year | Tenants Expiring | SF Expiring | % of Total Rent | Cumulative %
2025 | [n] | [sf] | [%] | [%]
2026 | [n] | [sf] | [%] | [%]
...
Industry/sector concentration:
Group tenants by NAICS sector or property-specific categories (e.g., retail: food/beverage, services, soft goods, medical). Flag if:
Any single sector > 40% of base rent
Any sector in secular decline > 20% of base rent
Output of Workflow 3: HHI calculation, expiration schedule, sector concentration breakdown, and all triggered flags.
Workflow 4: Rent Coverage Analysis
Evaluate whether each tenant can sustain their lease obligation at current and projected rent levels. This is the primary early-warning indicator of default risk.
Occupancy cost ratio (OCR) benchmarks by property type:
RETAIL (total occupancy cost = base rent + NNN charges + percentage rent)
Power center anchor (grocery, big box): 1.5-4% of sales
Inline retail (soft goods, gifts): 8-12% of sales
Restaurant (casual dining): 6-10% of sales
Fast food / QSR: 8-12% of sales
Medical / dental: 5-8% of sales
Service retail (salon, cleaners): 10-15% of sales -- higher tolerance
Flag threshold: > 12% inline, > 15% any tenant
OFFICE (occupancy cost = base rent + operating expense reimbursement)
Professional services (law, consulting): 10-15% of revenue
Financial services: 8-12% of revenue
Technology / startup: 12-18% of revenue (higher tolerance)
Healthcare: 6-10% of revenue
Government / NGO: 10-15% of budget allocation
Flag threshold: > 15% any tenant
INDUSTRIAL (NNN -- occupancy cost = base rent + NNN)
3PL / logistics: 3-6% of revenue
Manufacturing: 4-8% of revenue
E-commerce fulfillment: 3-5% of revenue
Cold storage / specialty: 5-10% of revenue
Flag threshold: > 8% any tenant
Rent coverage ratio calculation:
For tenants with financials: Rent Coverage = EBITDA / Annual Base Rent
For rated tenants: infer coverage from public rating and sector benchmarks (see references/credit-rating-methodology.md).
For no-data tenants: flag as unverifiable; assign conservative OCR assumption from industry median.
Escalation stress test:
For each tenant with 3%+ annual rent escalations (or CPI-linked), project forward rent against trailing revenue growth rate. If rent grows faster than revenue for 2+ consecutive years of the hold period, flag as escalation risk.
Output of Workflow 4: Per-tenant OCR table, rent coverage ratio, escalation stress results, and flagged tenants.
Workflow 5: Default Probability Modeling
Translate credit tier and shadow ratings into quantitative default probabilities and expected loss calculations for each tenant position.
Rating-to-default probability mapping:
See references/credit-rating-methodology.md for full tables. Summary:
Rating Category 1-Year 3-Year 5-Year 10-Year
AAA / Aaa 0.00% 0.03% 0.07% 0.20%
AA / Aa 0.02% 0.07% 0.15% 0.40%
A / A 0.06% 0.20% 0.40% 0.90%
BBB / Baa (IG floor) 0.18% 0.65% 1.10% 2.50%
BB / Ba (HY entry) 0.90% 3.20% 6.00% 12.00%
B / B 3.50% 9.50% 15.00% 24.00%
CCC / Caa 15.00% 30.00% 42.00% 55.00%
Shadow C 12.00% 22.00% 30.00% 45.00%
Shadow D / NR assumed 20.00% 35.00% 45.00% 60.00%
Recovery rate assumptions by lease and property type:
NNN Retail (IG tenant): 70-85% recovery (re-leasing at market rent, limited dark period)
NNN Retail (HY/NR tenant): 40-60% recovery (dark period 9-18 months, TI/LC costs)
Multi-tenant Retail Inline: 30-55% recovery (depends on anchor status, co-tenancy)
Office (Class A, IG tenant): 60-75% recovery
Office (Class B, HY/NR): 35-55% recovery (longer dark period in soft markets)
Industrial (IG tenant): 65-80% recovery (strong re-leasing demand)
Industrial (HY/NR): 50-70% recovery (more liquid market than office)
Single-tenant vacant: Apply dark value cap rate premium of 100-200 bps
Expected loss per tenant:
Expected Loss = Probability of Default * (1 - Recovery Rate) * Annual Rent Exposure
Example:
Tenant: Local restaurant, Shadow C, annual rent $120,000
PD (5-year): 25%
Recovery rate: 45%
Expected Loss = 25% * (1 - 45%) * $120,000 = $16,500 over 5 years
Annual expected loss: $3,300
Aggregate portfolio expected loss: sum across all tenants
Express as % of total annual base rent for comparability
Scenario analysis (minimum 2 scenarios):
Scenario A -- Anchor Default: Model anchor vacancy. Calculate: lost rent, co-tenancy clauses triggered (rent reductions or terminations at inline tenants), re-leasing timeline (12-24 months for anchor), TI/LC costs, and NOI impact during dark period.
Scenario B -- Largest NR Cluster Default: Model simultaneous default of all Tier D tenants. Calculate combined rent loss, re-leasing timeline assuming sequential not simultaneous, and NOI impact.
Output of Workflow 5: Per-tenant default probability table, expected loss per tenant, portfolio aggregate expected loss (as % of EGI), and two default scenarios with NOI impact.
Workflow 6: WALT-Weighted Credit Rating
Compute a single blended credit quality metric for the portfolio that accounts for both tenant credit strength and the duration of that credit exposure.
WALT calculation:
WALT = Sum(Annual Base Rent_i * Remaining Lease Term_i) / Sum(Annual Base Rent_i)
Where remaining lease term is calculated to lease expiration (not renewal option).
WALT-weighted credit score:
Assign each tier a numeric credit score:
Tier A (IG): Score 90
Near-IG (BB+/BB): Score 70
Tier B (BB-): Score 55
Tier C (Shadow B/C): Score 35
Tier D (Shadow D / NR): Score 15
Score 80-100: Investment Grade equivalent (BBB- or better)
Score 60-79: Near Investment Grade (BB+/BB)
Score 40-59: Speculative Grade (BB-/B+)
Score 20-39: High Yield (B/CCC equivalent)
Score < 20: Distressed
Benchmark comparison:
Compare the computed WALT-weighted score to asset class benchmarks:
Class A retail (grocery-anchored): typically 65-80 (IG equivalent blend)
Class B strip retail: typically 40-60 (mixed IG/HY blend)
Single-tenant NNN (IG): typically 85-95
Class A office (CBD): typically 60-75
Industrial (logistics focus): typically 70-85
WALT sensitivity analysis:
If any anchor or major tenant (> 10% of rent) expires within 36 months of acquisition, recalculate WALT-weighted score assuming that tenant does NOT renew. Show the before/after score to quantify renewal risk.
Output of Workflow 6: WALT calculation, WALT-weighted credit score, equivalent rating category, benchmark comparison, and renewal sensitivity analysis if applicable.
Workflow 7: Co-Tenancy and Kick-Out Analysis
Identify and map all contractual interdependencies between tenants. This analysis is required for any multi-tenant retail asset and any office property with named co-tenancy provisions.
Co-tenancy clause types:
TYPE 1 -- Anchor Dependency (Rent Reduction):
Trigger: Named anchor vacates or falls below occupancy threshold (e.g., "If Anchor Tenant A
closes, Tenant B may reduce base rent to 50% of contract rent until replacement anchor opens."
Impact: Revenue loss for duration of dark period
TYPE 2 -- Kick-Out Right (Early Termination):
Trigger: Named anchor vacates, or center-wide occupancy falls below threshold (e.g., 80%)
Impact: Tenant may terminate lease with notice period (typically 6-12 months)
Valuation impact: Reduces effective lease term for inline tenants
TYPE 3 -- Radius Restriction / Exclusivity:
Not a co-tenancy clause per se, but if anchor exercising kick-out then opens nearby,
exclusivity clauses at remaining location may be voided
Impact: Competitive pressure on replacement tenants
TYPE 4 -- Dark Clause:
If anchor goes dark (physically vacates but continues paying rent), some co-tenancy
clauses still trigger (verify lease language precisely)
Mapping process:
For each co-tenancy clause found in lease abstracts, document:
Tenant holding the right
Trigger condition (which anchor, what threshold)
Remedy (rent reduction %, kick-out notice period)
Duration (how long until remedy expires or escalates)
Domino default scenario:
Map the sequence: Anchor A defaults -> inline tenants B, C, D trigger co-tenancy. Calculate:
Tenants eligible for rent reduction: combined rent reduction amount
Tenants eligible for kick-out: worst-case total rent at risk if all exercise
Probability weighting: apply anchor's default probability to the entire cascade
Output of Workflow 7: Co-tenancy clause inventory table, domino scenario map, and worst-case revenue-at-risk from co-tenancy cascade.
Workflow 8: Guaranty Analysis
Evaluate the credit quality of all guaranty agreements. A guaranty is only as good as the guarantor's financial capacity and the legal enforceability of the instrument.
Evaluate parent's own credit trend -- a BBB-rated parent with negative outlook is not the same as a stable BBB
Check for guaranty burn-off provisions:
Time-based: guaranty expires after N years (e.g., "guaranty terminates after year 5")
Performance-based: guaranty terminates when tenant achieves certain financial thresholds
Both types require underwriting the post-burn-off period without guaranty support
Personal guaranty assessment:
Obtain guarantor's personal financial statement (net worth, liquid assets, income sources)
Minimum standard: Guarantor Net Worth >= 2x Annual Rent Obligation
Strong standard: Guarantor Net Worth >= 5x Annual Rent Obligation AND Liquid Assets >= 1x Annual Rent
Evaluate guaranty scope:
Full guaranty of lease obligation (preferred)
"Good guy" guaranty (guarantor liable only until tenant vacates and surrenders keys -- common in NYC)
Capped guaranty (limited to X months of rent) -- calculate whether cap is sufficient to cover re-leasing period
Assess collectability: is guarantor resident in jurisdiction where enforcement is practical?
Guaranty quality scoring:
Quality A: Corporate parent, IG rated or strong financials, no burn-off, full guaranty
Quality B: Corporate parent, HY rated or adequate financials, time-based burn-off > 5 years
Quality C: Personal guaranty, net worth > 3x rent, full guaranty
Quality D: Personal guaranty, net worth < 2x rent, OR any capped or good-guy guaranty
Quality E: No guaranty (flag for any non-credit tenant > 5% of rent)
Output of Workflow 8: Guaranty inventory per tenant, guaranty quality score, burn-off schedule, and flagged exposures where guaranty does not adequately backstop credit risk.

Note: The strip has 33% vacancy. Total inline occupied GLA = 6,500 SF. Total base rent (occupied) = $605,000.
Step 1 -- Tier Assignment:
Walgreens (42% of rent): Anchor. Baa2 = Tier A (IG, investment grade)
Local Restaurant (14%): Major. No rating, financials requested.
Dry Cleaner (6%): In-line. No rating, no financials. Tier D assumed.
Nail Salon (5%): In-line. No rating, no financials. Tier D assumed.
Single tenant > 40% of revenue without investment-grade credit -- underwrite as single-tenant asset; dark value analysis required.
Rent-to-revenue ratio > 15% for any tenant (retail > 12%) -- tenant cannot sustain rent through a revenue dip. Default risk is elevated regardless of tier.
Declining revenue 2+ consecutive years -- even an investment-grade parent guarantor is a weaker backstop if the subsidiary operating entity is deteriorating.
Current ratio < 1.0 for any tenant > 10% of rent -- negative working capital signals near-term liquidity stress, not just a credit trend.
Lease expiration clustering > 30% of rent within 18 months -- re-leasing execution risk. Even if all tenants renew, the negotiating leverage is inverted during a clustered expiration.
Parent guaranty from entity with declining credit outlook or negative rating action in prior 12 months -- a BBB parent on CreditWatch Negative is effectively a BB credit for underwriting purposes.
Co-tenancy kick-out triggered by anchor departure -- if inline tenants can exit when the anchor goes dark, the anchor default scenario is far more severe than simple rent loss.
Personal guaranty from individual with net worth < 2x annual rent -- guaranty is effectively uncollectable after first year of dispute and litigation costs.
NAICS sector in secular decline (traditional retail, legacy office footprint, commodity manufacturing) -- sector risk is a systematic factor that overrides individual tenant financials. Flag and apply sector adjustment.
Chain Notes
Upstream: rent-roll-analyzer provides cleaned tenant data, SF, and lease term. Always consume rent-roll-analyzer output before running this skill on a multi-tenant asset.
Downstream: Tenant credit tier assignments and WALT-weighted score feed acquisition-underwriting-engine as a credit quality input to cap rate selection and NOI stress scenarios.
Downstream: Default probabilities and expected loss calculations feed loan-sizing-engine for credit underwriting and LTV/DSCR stress testing.
Downstream: Co-tenancy clause inventory feeds lease-negotiation-analyzer when renegotiating leases during asset management.
Related: For new lease proposals on space being marketed, use tenant-credit-analyzer proactively on the prospective tenant before executing LOI (feed output to lease-negotiation-analyzer).
