This is Moody's 19th annual survey of global corporate defaults and recovery rates. The report reviews the default,
recovery, and credit loss experience of corporate bond issuers for 2005 as well as the historical period since 1920.
Updated statistics on the default, loss, and rating transition experience of sovereign bond issuers are presented as well.
Briefly, we find:
A total of 32 corporate bond issuers rated as of January 1, 2005 defaulted on a total of USD 29 billion in
2005. Including issuers whose ratings were withdrawn prior to 2005, a total of 34 Moody's-rated issuers
defaulted on a total of USD 29.2 billion.
Defaults were concentrated in a handful of troubled industry sectors. The transportation (primarily airlines)
and automobile (auto parts) sectors experienced the highest numbers of defaulting issuers, with 6 and 4
defaults, respectively. The independent power sector experienced the highest default rate by dollar volume,
as two Calpine affiliates defaulted on USD 8.4 billion of bonds affected. Charter Communications Holdings (USD 6.9 billion) was 2005's largest default.
The default rate for all rated corporate issuers
fell to 0.6% in 2005 from 0.8% in 2004. As a

Introduction
The year 2005 was, by many conventional measures, a positive year for corporate credit quality. Default rates remained
low, recoveries on defaulted bonds were well above average, and aggregate credit rating revisions were favorable. Yet
the year was also marked by heightened concern among investors about corporate credit quality. Rating downgrades to
speculative-grade for major U.S. auto makers, defaults in a handful of widely-held industry sectors, and a rise in the
size of defaults have refocused attention on credit risk. This report, Moody's 19th annual corporate default study is,
therefore, timely.
In this report we document the default and recovery experience of corporate bond issuers for 2005 as well as for
the historical period since 1920. We also discuss Moody's default rate forecast for 2006, as well as review the performance of Moody's forecasting model. One of the important functions of Moody's default study is to gauge the accuracy of its ratings, which we present in a separate section. In this year's report we also include an update to Moody's
sovereign default statistics. Moody's methodology and detailed statistical tables are presented in two special appendices
at the end of the report.
Corporate Bond Defaults

The number of issuers defaulting on Moody's-rated corporate bonds fell for the fourth consecutive year, but the total
dollar volume of defaults rose sharply in 2005 (see cover chart). Thirty-two Moody's-rated corporate bond issuers
defaulted on a total of USD 29.0 billion of bonds in 2005, compared to 36 issuers and a total of USD16.5 billion in
2004. Including issuers whose ratings were withdrawn prior to 2005, a total of 34 Moody's-rated issuers defaulted on a
total of USD 29.2 billion.1
Four major trends characterize corporate defaults in 2005: U.S.-based issuers constituted the vast majority of
defaults; defaults were concentrated in a handful of troubled industries; the average size of default increased in 2005;
and the defaults of several large, widely-held issuers led to a greater perception of credit losses than suggested by the
aggregate statistics.

Exhibit 1 shows annual default counts and dollar volume totals by geographical region from 1986 to 2005. The
majority of corporate bond defaults are by issuers based in the U.S., although the proportion of defaults originating in
Europe, Asia, and Latin America has increased in recent years. In 2005, 29 of the year's 32 Moody's-rated defaults
were by U.S.-based bond issuers. The three non-U.S. defaults were Brazil's Banco Santos S.A. and Sweden-based
Concordia Bus AB and Concordia Bus Nordic AB.
1.
Including unrated bond defaults, forty-one issuers defaulted on a total USD 29.5 billion in 2005.
By default count, 2005's defaults were concentrated in the auto/auto parts (4 defaults) and transportation (6
defaults) sectors. Measured by total default volume, the independent power sector was the top defaulting industry sector at USD 8.4 billion. The cable sector, with bonds totaling USD 6.9 billion, followed by the airlines sector (USD 5.8
billion), were the second and third largest defaulting industry categories, respectively. Exhibit 2 summarizes the distribution of 2005 default counts and dollar volume totals by industry category.
Several large defaults in 2005 boosted the average size of default to USD 905 million, compared to USD 457 million in 2004. Among the largest defaulters are issuers that are widely held in investors' portfolios, including two
Calpine affiliates, Delphi Corporation, Delta Airlines and Northwest Airlines. Charter Communications Holdings
LLC was 2005's largest default by total bond volume at $6.9 billion. Exhibit 19 in Appendix B shows the complete list
of 2005 defaulters and their total bond default volumes.

* Tower Automotive, which carried a Moody's Issuer rating but did not have rated bonds, is excluded from the total. If included, automobile sector default rate is 4.72%
The default rate for all rated corporate issuers fell to 0.6% in 2005 from 0.8% in 2004. As a percentage of dollar
volume, however, the default rate for all rated corporate issuers increased to 0.8% in 2005 from 0.5% in 2004. The
speculative-grade issuer default rate fell to 1.9% in 2005 from 2.4% in 2004 on an issuer basis but increased to 3.8%
from 2.6% on a dollar volume basis. By rating category, default rates remained below their historical annual averages
in 2005. Exhibit 3 presents default data for 2005 by whole letter rating, and Exhibit 4 shows the data by alphanumeric
rating.
Although defaults were generally concentrated in the lowest tiers of speculative grade in 2005, there were two
defaults by issuers that held investment-grade ratings within a year of their default date: Entergy New Orleans, Inc.,
and Delphi Corp. Entergy New Orleans, Inc., with bonds totaling $155 million, filed for Chapter 11 in the aftermath
of Hurricane Katrina. The bankruptcy filing of Delphi Corp., the largest auto parts maker in North America, came
after it failed to secure financing from General Motors Corp., its former parent and largest customer, and was unable
to negotiate sharp cuts in wages and benefits from the United Auto Workers union to restructure unprofitable U.S.
operations.

Default Rate Forecast and Model Performance

2005 DEFAULT RATE FORECAST
Moody's forecasting model for its global speculative-grade default rate predicts that the default rate will rise from its
current 1.9% level to 3.3% by the end of 2006. Exhibit 5 shows Moody's global speculative-grade default rate forecast
for 2006. Moody's point forecast indicates that the default rate will experience a gradual increase in 2006, remaining
below its long-run 5% average. The chart also shows the effect on the default rate if forecasted default rates are 50%
higher and lower than the model-generated estimates. In the event that the high default rate scenario occurs, the
resulting default rate is still near its historical average.

The trends in the credit and economic variables that drive Moody's forecast are somewhat more mixed relative to
year ago readings. On the positive side, the credit quality of speculative-grade issuers - those most likely to default remained steady in 2005. The number of newly rated speculative-grade issuers slowed in 2005 to 219 from 248 in
2004. The ratio of rating downgrades to rating upgrades among issuers rated speculative grade increased to 1.1 in
2005 from 0.9 in the prior year, but remained below the 1.8:1 ratio of 2003. Additionally, favorable rating outlook
changes continued to outnumber negative outlook changes in 2005 by a 1.3:1 margin. Although down from 2:1 in
2004, the positive outlook changes - which have historically proven to forecast rating changes2 - do not suggest rapid
deterioration in credit quality in 2006.
On the negative side, consensus macroeconomic forecasts for 2006 predict that the rate of GDP growth in North
America and Europe will slow, impacting corporate profitability and the ability to service debt obligations. The flattening of the Treasury yield curve in 2005 from 198 basis points at the end of 2004 to just 36 basis points at the end of
2005 is an additional concern. Yield curve flattening is historically correlated with slowing economic growth and a rise
in corporate defaults. Lastly, as Moody's pointed out in its 2004 default study, the unprecedented increase in the number of new issuers rated Caa and below - nearly 1/3 of new speculative-grade rated issuers in 2004 - will eventually put
upward pressure on the aggregate default rate. In light of the average seasoning pattern of corporate defaults, this risk
may come home to roost near the end of 2006 and in 2007.

Moody's introduced and began reporting the results of its speculative-grade default rate forecasting model in 1999.3
Moody's default rate forecasting model is a regression model that uses a set of credit and macroeconomic variables to
predict the 12-month-ahead default rate. With six years and a full credit cycle of data now available - and with expectations of higher future default rates in the coming years - it is valuable to review the performance of Moody's model.
Exhibit 6 gives a general picture of the performance of Moody's default rate forecasting model. The graph shows
the 12-month out-of-sample default rate forecast overlaid on the realized default rate. The gray shaded area corresponds to the NBER-dated recession in the U.S. Over the past six years, Moody's model has performed well at forecasting the default rate. Over the 2000-2005 time period, the realized and forecasted default rate have tracked each
other closely, with a correlation of 0.92 and mean-squared-error of 0.006. The model also correctly forecasted some
critical turning points: the sharp rise in the default rate that began in November 2000 and the peak in the default rate
in March of 2002.

Realized Default Rate
However, the forecasted default rates generated by Moody's model have been less accurate in the period since
April 2003. This is partially attributable to the fact that Moody's forecasts are the product of a regression model, which
will tend to under-predict the default rate when it is rising and over-predict it when it is falling. A large part of the
error, though, is due to misleading signals produced by the variables included in the model in 2003. U.S. industrial
production experienced an average -0.8% year-over-year growth between April and August 2003, and the Treasury
yield curve also briefly flattened. The change in both of these variables suggested a rise in the default rate. It is also
worth noting that high yield investors also expected a rise in the default rate at the time. The high yield spread (a variable not included in Moody's forecasting model) widened from about 360 basis points in April 2003 to 650 basis points
in October 2003. Moody's expects that with more historical data its forecasting model performance record will continue to prove accurate and unbiased.
Credit Rating Accuracy Metrics

From its inception, one of the primary goals of Moody's annual default study has been to serve as a report card on the
accuracy of its long-term credit ratings. Over the years Moody's has developed several measurement criteria for evaluating the ability of its rating to predict defaults and credit losses. We review some of these performance measures in
this section.4
One of the simplest measures of rating accuracy is default rates by rating category. Moody's credit ratings have
been highly correlated with subsequent default rates over investment horizons as long as 20 years. Exhibit 7 shows that
average cumulative default rates between 1920 and 2005 increase significantly with lower credit ratings over all time
horizons. Indeed, the rate of default for issuers rated Caa is 40 times that of Aaa-rated issuers at a 20-year time horizon.
While the average default rate estimates for each rating category shown in Exhibit 7 are unbiased, it is important to
highlight the fact that defaults among highly rated investment-grade issuers have been extremely rare events. For
example, since 1920 only six corporate bond issuers that ever held an Aaa Moody's rating have defaulted. The tables of
annual and cumulative default rates in Appendix B show more detail for various historical time periods and investment
horizons.

Moody's also publishes a separate, much more detailed report on ratings performance on a quarterly basis. See Mann and Parwani (2006).

Years from Cohort Date
A desirable performance objective of a rating system is to identify the weakest credits by assigning the lowest ratings to
issuers that ultimately default. Exhibit 8 shows that the median and average ratings of the 1,226 corporate issuers that have
defaulted since 1983 have been firmly in speculative grade as far as five years prior to default. Exhibit 8 plots the median and
average credit ratings of defaulting issuers from 60 months prior to default up to the default date (time zero).
For the historical period from 1983 to 2005, the median and average rating of defaulting issuers is Ba3. As the
default date draws near, the chart shows a clear deterioration in the median and average level of the credit rating, the
pace of which accelerates in the twelve months prior to default. The graph also shows that the pace of rating deterioration is measured: the median and average ratings of defaulters do not undergo multi-notch revision as they approach
the default date. Rating cuts generally proceed in one notch increments.

In addition to assigning low ratings to issuers that ultimately default, the effectiveness of a rating system depends
on its ability to assign high credit ratings to issuers that do not default. In other words, an efficient rating system is able
to separate the low credit risks from the high credit risks.
A metric designed to measure this aspect of ratings performance is the cumulative accuracy profile (CAP) plot.
The CAP plot graphs the cumulative proportion of defaults from a portfolio against the proportion of issuers exposed
to the risk of default, sorted by riskiness. Exhibit 9 shows the CAP plots for the 2005 cohort of issuers as well as for the
1983-2005 time period.5 A rating system that conveyed no information about default risk would lie on the 45-degree
line; the further the CAP curve bows toward the top left corner, the better it is at identifying defaults in the riskiest rating categories.
Exhibit 9 shows that the CAP curve for 2005 lies above that of the 1983-2005 CAP curve over most of its range.
As Exhibit 3 showed, 22 of 2005's 32 defaults were by issuers rated Caa and below. This has the effect of improving the
2005 CAP curve relative to the historical CAP curve. However, the two investment-grade defaults in 2005 cause the
CAP curve for the year to cross below the historical curve over a section of its range, resulting in somewhat weaker relative performance.

A summary measure of rating accuracy that can be derived from the CAP curve is the accuracy ratio. The accuracy
ratio (AR) is the ratio of the area between the CAP curve and the 45-degree line, and lies between negative and positive
one (like a correlation statistic).6 Exhibit 10 shows one- and five-year accuracy ratios for the 1983-2005 time period.
The graph suggests that the one-year accuracy ratio is positively correlated with the credit cycle: when defaults are
increasing, the accuracy ratio falls. At the five-year horizon this correlation is much less evident. In the short run, the
stability objective of Moody's rating system dampens rating changes; at longer time horizons, stability is unconstrained, and accuracy increases. As suggested by Exhibit 9 above, the one-year accuracy ratio for 2005 was somewhat
weaker relative to 2004 due to the two investment-grade rated defaults.

The 1983-2005 CAP curve was generated by pooling the annual cohort data.
A detailed description of CAP plots and the accuracy ratio is found in Cantor and Mann (2003).

Recovery in Default and Credit Loss Rates

CORPORATE DEBT RECOVERY RATES
The positive credit environment in 2005 was also reflected in higher than average recovery rates7 for defaulted bonds
and bank loans. As default rates have steadily declined, recovery rates on defaulted instruments have been rising from
their 2001 nadir.8 The issuer-weighted average recovery rate for defaulted bonds 2005 was 55.9%, substantially
greater than the historical average of 35.9% but a bit lower than the highly elevated level, 59.9%, seen in 2004.
Recovery values for defaulted loans were also well above their historical averages in 2005, but preferred stocks
experienced recovery rates that were fairly similar to their long-run means. Exhibit 11 details issuer-weighted and
value-weighted recovery rates for 2005, 2004, and the long-term averages, for securities at various levels of the capital
structures of defaulting issuers.9

Recovery rates are quoted as percentage of par.

Average recovery rates on defaulted instruments can be estimated in various ways. In most of our analysis, we focus on issuer-weighted mean recovery rates, which
correspond to the average recovery rate on a portfolio of bonds that is well diversified across issuers. Appendix A defines the recovery rate measures we use in this
section.
Exhibit 20 in the Appendix details recovery prices on instruments that defaulted in 2005. Exhibit 24 in Appendix B presents various descriptive statistics - sample
sizes, high, lows, medians, and standard deviations - for our long-term sample of recovery rates by type of capital instrument.
A number of factors may explain why average recovery rates have recently been elevated, such as a reduced supply
of or increased demand for defaulted assets, a reduction in high-yield spreads, cyclically higher asset values, or
increased risk preferences among vulture investors. Moody's and other researchers have documented that recovery
rates tend to be higher when default rates (and the commensurate supply of defaulted debt) are low. The resulting
negative correlation between default rates and recovery rates is apparent in Exhibit 12.

Annual Default Rate
A simple linear regression model shows an R2 of 0.64 between issuer-weighted average annual recovery rates and
annual corporate default rates. Although not shown here, similar but weaker correlations are also evident between
issuer-weighted average annual recovery rates and annual speculative-grade default rates and between value-weighted
recovery rates and annual aggregate default rates.
While recovery rates have been high in recent years, we are likely to see a decline in average recovery rates going
forward as default rates rise from their current lows. Over the 24-year period from 1982 to 2005, the issuer-weighted
and value-weighted recovery rates have fluctuated around a long-term mean of about 41%, as shown in Exhibit 13. In
past two years, recovery rates have exceeded the long-term mean, but between 1997 and 2002 - when default rates
were above average - they were below the long-term mean. If the default rates rise as forecasted by Moody's for 2006,
and beyond, a decline in recovery rates seems likely. Exhibit 24 in Appendix B presents annual recovery rates from
1982 to 2005 for instruments with different seniority in the capital structure.

Exhibit 14 presents the historical relationship between ratings prior to default and average senior unsecured bond
recovery rates. The relationship between recovery rates and ratings prior to default is very weak for speculative-grade
ratings. When, however, issuers have defaulted within a few years of carrying investment-grade ratings, their senior
unsecured bond recovery rates have tended to be modestly higher than that of speculative-grade issuers.10 The difference, however, tends to diminish as the time to default increases - 48.9% versus 35.1% at a one-year horizon and
44.1% versus 41.7% at a five-year horizon.

* Issuer-weighted average as percentage of par. See Appendix A for the definition.
There are a number of possible reasons why investment-grade issuers that default over a short horizon experience
higher average senior unsecured recovery rates. Most importantly, investment-grade issuers tend not to have much
secured bank or bond debt "in front of" senior unsecured debt; hence, the lower recovery rate on speculative senior
unsecured debt may reflect its more structurally subordinated position within the capital structure. Moreover, some
investment-grade defaults may reflect strategic defaults by companies battling litigation or, in the case of utilities, seeking rate relief from regulators.
It is important to recognize, however, that the majority of investment-grade issuers that do default, default many
years after being rated investment-grade. For example, although 8.9% of investment-grade issuers default within
twenty years, only 1.3% default in the first four years. As a result, there is little reason to expect that senior unsecured
recovery rates will be higher for issuers rated investment-grade in general, but only for those few investment-grade
issuers that default within a relatively short period of time of carrying an investmetn grade rating.
HISTORICAL CREDIT LOSS RATES

Moody's credit ratings are opinions on relative expected credit losses upon default. Credit losses are therefore a function of both probability of default as well as the severity of default (LGD). Exhibit 15 presents historical credit losses
for broad rating categories and shows that Moody's have consistently rank ordered issuers based on their expected
credit loss rates over investment horizons ranging from 1-year to 5-years.
It is worth noting that credit loss rates for very highly rated (Aaa- and Aa-rated) investment-grade issuers may be
over-estimated using price-based historical recovery rate data because (1) there are relatively few historical defaults
among Aaa- and Aa-rated issuers; and (2) price-based data is not available or underestimates recovery values for the
defaults that have occurred.11
10. These estimates may understate recoveries for very highly rated investment-grade issuers, such as Aaa- and Aa-rated issuers. Since 1980, there have only been
three Aaa-rated bond defaults (two of which were affiliated): Texaco Oil, Getty Oil, and Federated Department stores. Texaco and Getty bondholders ultimately recovered 100% of their claims.

Sovereign Defaults
SOVEREIGN DEFAULTS
Since Moody's last report on sovereign bond issuer transition and default rates in 2003,12 two rated bond issuers - the
Dominican Republic and Uruguay - defaulted by imposing distressed exchanges on investors. In this section, we discuss these two defaults and provide updated statistics on sovereign rating transition, default, and recovery rates.
Dominican Republic: The Dominican Republic missed a bond interest payment in January 2004, but cured
that default within a 30-day grace period. After a number of additional late interest payments in the following
year, the country proposed a debt exchange to investors in April 2005 which would extend the existing maturities
on its two outstanding foreign currency bond issues and defer their cash interest payments for 2-years. In May,
roughly 95% of the investors in the bond coming due in 2006 and one coming due in 2013 agreed to extend the
maturity dates by additional five years at the original coupon rate and accept payment-in-kind (additional bonds)
in lieu of all the interest due in 2005 and half of the interest due in 2006.
Moody's views the exchange as tantamount to a default both because the maturity extension and the
interest deferral were needed to avoid outright default. The issuer's foreign-currency bond rating was kept
at B3 before and after the exchange because the realized loss severity of the exchange was modest, yet the
potential for further losses going forward remains material.
Uruguay: From mid-1997 to May 2002, Uruguay was rated investment-grade (Baa3). However, Argentina's
severe currency crisis led to concurrent debt servicing problems for Uruguay in 2002. Uruguay's total debt escalated to about 100% of GDP, or roughly USD 11 billion, with significant amount of bonds coming due in 2003
and 2004. To help restore debt sustainability, in April 2003 the authorities launched a debt exchange aimed at
lengthening the average maturity on the bonds (with no principal reduction). The exchange was completed
fairly soon after at the end of May, and overall participation rates averaged about 93%.
The debt restructuring involved three components: an external component covering bonds mainly issued
in Europe and the U.S. (amounting to some USD 3.6 billion), a Japanese component (covering Samurai
bonds worth about USD 250 million), and a domestic component (covering domestic currency bonds
worth about USD 1.6 billion). As a result of the maturity extension, Moody's classifies the offer as a distressed exchange default. The foreign-currency issuer rating for Uruguay was B3 when the offer was first
proposed and was maintained after exchange was completed.
SOVEREIGN RATING TRANSITION AND DEFAULT RATES

Exhibit 16 presents one-year letter rating transition rates for sovereign bond issuers. These statistics indicate that sovereign rating transition rates are comparable to those of corporate issuers (see Exhibit 24 in Appendix B); however, the
ratings on Baa and Caa-C sovereign issuers appear somewhat less stable than their corporate counterparts.13
12. See Varma (2003).

13. When considering these statistics, readers should keep in mind that underlying sample size is very small. As of January 2006, Moody's rated only 94 sovereigns.
Moreover, some rating transitions reflect changes in the underlying reference rating rather than changes in any specific rating, as described in Appendix A, Moody's
estimates long-term senior unsecured sovereign rating histories by tracking the lower of its foreign or domestic currency ratings.

The fairly high annual upgrade rate, at 29%, for Caa-C sovereign issuers is much higher than the upgrade rate for
Caa-C corporate issuers, which is in single digits. One explanation for the higher upgrade rate is that many of the
Caa-C rated sovereigns were first assigned these ratings after executing a distressed exchange. So, it is not surprising
that a significant percentage of those cases were upgraded over time. Downgrades of sovereigns into the Caa rating
category have, in fact, almost always been followed by a default.14 Exhibit 20 in Appendix B presents the complete list
of all sovereign issuers that have defaulted on rated bonds since 1989.
Exhibit 17 presents average cumulative Baa, Ba, and B default rates for sovereign and corporate bond issuers for
the 1983-2005 time period. Default rates for sovereign bond issuers have generally been lower - roughly half at the
five-year and ten-year horizons - than the default rates for similarly rated corporate issuers during the same time
period. Exhibit 37 in Appendix B shows detailed cumulative default rates for sovereign bond issuers.

SOVEREIGN BOND RECOVERY RATES

Exhibit 18 presents two types of estimates of recovery rates on defaulted sovereign bonds. The first method reports
the average trading price on a sovereign's bonds thirty days after its initial missed interest payment, or in cases in which
the initial default event was the distressed exchange offer, we report the average price shortly before the distressed
exchange was completed.
14. Of the 10 sovereign issuers that ever held a Caa rating, only two - Romania and Belize - have not defaulted either before or after.
16
The second method is based on the ratio of the value of the old securities to new securities received in exchange by
discounting their promised cash flows using the yield to maturity implicit in the price of old securities at the time of
the announcement of the exchange offer.15 The sample presents recovery estimates for all rated bond defaulters,
except for Venezuela for whom we were unable to obtain market quotes on its defaulted domestic currency bonds,
although anecdotal evidence suggests recovery rates on its bonds were high. The sample also includes estimated
recovery rates on two defaulting issuers, Grenada and Ivory Coast, whose bonds were not rated by Moody's.

Contrary to market perceptions, recovery rates on sovereign bonds have on average been higher than those on corporates on average. The market's view that sovereign bond recovery rates are lower, everything else equal is, however,
not wholly without basis. The two largest defaulters, Russia and Argentina, imposed large losses on their investors.
Recovery rates for issuers that defaulted in the past three years have been higher than those that defaulted earlier
in the sample. This rise is consistent with higher average recovery rates experience by defaulted corporate bonds issuers during the same time period. The overall average issuer-weighted recovery rate for sovereign issuers was 53%,
about 30% higher than reported in Varma (2003).
15. This method, reported by the Bank of England (2005), uses the discount rate on the old bonds at the time of the announcement of exchange offer, which could be
months after the first default event. For example, in Russia's case, Moody's recorded the default when the first payment was missed; whereas, the distressed
exchange was announced more than a year later. With the announcement of an exchange offer, some uncertainty is resolved and the yield on existing instruments
may change which will impact the PV of new instruments. The appropriateness of this method may also depend on the validity of an implied assumption that the yield
curve is flat over the period of maturity extension. Other methods are also discussed in Stuzenneger and Zettelmeyer (2005).

Appendix A - Methodology and Data

DATA SOURCES
Moody's bases the results of this study on its proprietary database of ratings and defaults for corporate bond issuers.
Municipal debt issuers, structured finance transactions, private placements, and issuers with only short-term debt ratings or only bank loan ratings are excluded unless otherwise noted. In total, Moody's data covers the credit experiences
of over 16,000 corporate issuers that sold long-term public debt at some time between 1920 and 2005. As of January 1,
2005 over 5,000 corporate issuers held a Moody's long-term bond rating.
Moody's database of corporate defaults covers over 3,600 long-term bond defaults by issuers both rated and nonrated by Moody's. Additional data sources, such as Lehman Brothers index data, supplemented Moody's proprietary
data in the construction of the aggregate dollar volume-weighted default rates. Defaulted bond pricing data was
derived from Bloomberg, Reuters, and TRACE. The majority of these market quotes represent an actual bid on the
debt instrument, although no trade may have occurred at that price. Over the 1982-2005 period, the dataset includes
post-default prices for nearly 2,500 defaulted instruments issued by over 1,200 defaulting corporations. Moody's
makes the 1970-2005 credit rating, default, and recovery rate data used in this study available through its Default Risk
Service (DRS) database.
ESTIMATED SENIOR RATINGS

The credit ratings used in Moody's annual default studies do not refer to the ratings of any specific debt obligations.
Rather, they are notional, issuer-level ratings derived from each issuer's outstanding rated bonds. The resulting ratings
are called estimated senior unsecured ratings or, more concisely, estimated senior ratings. Estimated senior ratings are
derived by a statistical algorithm: first, the rating on each company's senior unsecured bonds is used; if an issuer does
not have any rated senior unsecured bonds, the estimated senior rating is derived by statistically implying such a rating
on the basis of rated subordinated or secured bonds, or senior implied ratings.
Deriving estimated senior ratings is necessary because Moody's credit ratings for corporate bonds are based on
expected credit loss, which is comprised of (1) the expected probability of default, as well as (2) the expected severity
(loss of principal and interest) in the event of default. Therefore, in order to calculate historical default rates by rating
category, which are estimates of the expected default probability component, one must hold severity considerations
constant. In most cases, estimated senior ratings will yield an assessment of default risk that is relatively unaffected by
special considerations of collateral or of position within the capital structure.
MOODY'S DEFINITION OF DEFAULT

Moody's definition of default includes three types of credit events:
1. A missed or delayed disbursement of interest and/or principal, including delayed payments made within a grace
period;
2. Bankruptcy, administration, legal receivership, or other legal blocks (perhaps by regulators) to the timely payment of interest and/or principal; or
3. A distressed exchange occurs where: (i) the issuer offers bondholders a new security or package of securities that
amount to a diminished financial obligation (such as preferred or common stock, or debt with a lower coupon
or par amount, lower seniority, or longer maturity); or (ii) the exchange had the apparent purpose of helping the
borrower avoid default.
The definition of a default is intended to capture events that change the relationship between the bondholder and
bond issuer from the relationship which was originally contracted, and which subjects the bondholder to an economic
loss. Technical defaults (covenant violations, etc.) are not included in Moody's definition of default.
In Moody's default research, secondary and tertiary defaults are reported only after the initial default event is
believed to have been cured. This is to ensure that multiple defaults related to a single episode of financial distress are
not over-counted.16
16. For example, a bankruptcy that follows a missed interest payment is not counted as a separate default event. When an issuer has re-entered the pool of eligible issuers (where a previous event of default has been cured), the rating associated with a subsequent default is the one on the given cohort formation date; if the analysis is
based on 'initial' ratings rather than cohort ratings, the rating used is the one after the initial default, Thus, an issuer that experiences two defaults in its lifetime has two
'initial' ratings.
19
DEFAULT RATE CALCULATIONS

Moody's employs the standard method used by statisticians to analyze cumulative survival (and hence default) probabilities using discrete time data.17 In calculating default rates for individual cohorts, Moody's adjusts the denominator of the default rate downward for issuers whose ratings are withdrawn to account for survivorship bias. Once an
issuer's rating is withdrawn, the observation of its future default experience is treated as a censored observation.18
By way of example, if while measuring a 10-year CDR an issuer's rating was withdrawn in year 5, certainty regarding
default history can only be gained for the period of time between the time the cohort was formed and year 5. The
issuer would therefore be considered "exposed" to default for 5 years, not 10 years.
Cumulative default rates (CDRs) are calculated from marginal default rates (MDRs), which represent the probability
that an issuer that has survived in the sample through a particular date will default over a short interval following that
date. By definition, the denominators used to estimate MDRs must adjust for withdrawals and defaults prior to that
date. We use the following formula for calculating MDRs, which also makes a very minor adjustment (and inconsequential) adjustment for the withdrawals that occur during the short interval in question.
The marginal default rate, d(t), is the ratio of the number of defaulting issuers in period t, x (t), divided by the
number of issuers exposed to the risk of default in period t. The denominator of the marginal default rate is adjusted
for issuers whose ratings have been withdrawn, w(t):
d (t ) =
x(t )
n(t ) x(t 1) 12 [ w(t ) + w(t 1)]
Cumulative default rates, D(T), for horizons of length T, for specific cohorts are built up from the MDRs as follows:
T 1
D (T ) = d1 + (1 d1 )d 2 + (1 d1 )(1 d 2 )d 3 + ... + (1 d t )dT

t =1
For example, the two year cumulative default rate is the sum of the marginal default rate in year one (d1) and the
marginal default rate in year two (d2) for issuers that survived past year one, (1 - d1).
When calculating average CDRs over many cohorts, the above formula is also used, but the MDRs are constructing by
averaging across cohorts. In this manner, when estimating long-term CDRs, information from recent cohorts need
not be ignored entirely. Rather, near-term cohorts are used to obtain more precise estimates of the near-term marginal
default rates used in deriving long-term CDRs.
Our default rate calculation method has two important advantages over the more simplistic so-called static pool
method used by some researchers:
If you expect to have a ten-year exposure to an issuer, you want an estimate of the risk of ten years of exposure. Moody's method produces an unbiased estimate of this risk, whereas the static pool method produces
downwardly biased default rates estimates since it implicitly assumes that issuers that leave the sample
would never have defaulted.
Moody's method uses all the available information about default/survival in the dataset to estimate longterm CDRs, including the information from recent cohorts, not just cohorts that have history that span the
entire horizon of the CDR calculation. Moody's method uses such information in estimating short-term
MDRs that enter into the long-term CDR calculations, whereas the static approach simply ignores that
data.19
COHORT FREQUENCY
The historical average default and rating migration rates reported in this study are calculated by taking the weighted
average of groups of issuers formed at equally spaced time intervals, called cohorts. For example, the average one-year
rating migration rates for the 1970-2005 time period (shown in Exhibit 24) are calculated by forming groups of issuers
17. The classic reference is Cutler and Ederer (1958). This approach is the discrete time analogue of the continuous hazard rate model which is familiar to most economists.
18. Moody's does attempt to follow these companies subsequent experience and occasionally becomes aware of instances that issuers with withdrawn ratings default. It
is not possible, however, to use this information in an unbiased way because we do not know what happens to all withdrawn issuers. Moreover, issuers that have their
ratings withdrawn because they no longer have any debt outstanding and are liquidated cannot be used to gain insight to the question: what would happen if I have
credit exposure to an issuer beyond that date of liquidation?
19. For example, Moody's 10-year cumulative default rate is not calculated only using issuers with 10 years of history available. Issuers with one year of history contribute
to the first year marginal default rate; issuers with two years of history contribute (up to) the second year marginal default rate, etc.
20
based on their ratings held at the beginning of each month between 1970 and 2005, tracking the rating changes over
the subsequent twelve months, and then taking the weighted average. The weights correspond to the number of issuers in each cohort and rating category.
The selection of cohort frequency is somewhat arbitrary. In previous years, Moody's annual default study calculated historical average default and rating migration rates using cohorts formed at annual frequencies. In this year's
report, we use a monthly cohort periodicity. Monthly cohorts have the advantage of capturing rating changes that
occur in small time intervals that may be missed at an annual cohort frequency.
RECOVERY RATE ESTIMATES

Moody's generally measures recovery rates in this report using bid prices on defaulted debt obligations observed
roughly 30 days after the date of default, specifically measured as a ratio of prices relative to par. Using a post-default
price to measure loss severity parallels common practice in the credit default swaps market. Moreover, recovery rates
measured in this way are most relevant for the many cash bond investors who liquidate their holdings shortly after
default as required by their portfolio governance rules or their own investment objectives. For investors holding
defaulted securities until ultimate resolution, prices observed shortly after default are generally accepted as the market's discounted expected ultimate recovery rates.
The alternative approach - measuring ultimate recoveries realized in bankruptcy resolutions - presents a number
of estimation challenges including estimation of the discount rate to apply to each cash-flow, assumptions about the
value of certain payments made during the process, and estimates of values of securities used to pay creditor claims,
which may include illiquid new securities (e.g., equity and derivative instruments) as well as physical assets.
The table below defines the various ways Moody's sometimes calculates and presents its recovery rate estimates.
For the purposes of measuring expected loss rates, we rely on issuer-weighted mean recovery rates.
Term
Definition
Issuer-Weighted Mean Recovery Rates
Issuer-weighted mean recovery rates are derived by estimating mean recovery rates for each
issuer, then averaging them across issuers. They are useful for predicting recovery rates for
portfolios that are well diversified across issuers.
Value-Weighted Mean Recovery Rates
Value-weighted recovery rates represent the average of recovery rates on all defaulted
issuers, weighted by the face value of those issues. These estimates are useful for predicting
recovery rates on the market portfolio.
Issuer-Weighted Median Recovery Rates
Issuer-weighted median recovery rates are estimated as median of issuer-weighted recovery

rates and are used for predicting the most likely recovery rate for a randomly selected issuer.
Issue-Weighted Mean Recovery Rates
Issue-weighted recovery rates are estimated using recovery rates for each issue and taking
the average of all issues. While this measure is widely reported, it is useful only for
predicting the average recovery rate on a portfolio of default bonds diversified across issues
but without reference to issuer or issue size.
