(9)The interest rate on this facility is 3.375%. This facility was opened in 2020 and is used for GNMA delinquent buyouts. Each buyout represents a separate transaction that can remain on the facility for up to 4 years. Subsequent to March 31, 2021, the Company completed a buyout extending the maturity to March 2025.
The weighted average interest rate for warehouse lines of credit was 2.44% and 2.52% at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. All warehouse lines of credit are collateralized by underlying mortgages and related documents. Existing balances on warehouse lines are repaid through the sale proceeds from the collateralized loans held for sale. The Company intends to renew existing warehouse lines prior to expiration. If those lines are not renewed or replaced, that could have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to continue funding new loans. The Company had cash balances of $131.1 million and $15.6 million in its warehouse buy down accounts as offsets to certain lines of credit at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
The agreements governing the Company’s warehouse lines of credit contain covenants that include certain financial requirements, including maintenance of maximum adjusted leverage ratio, minimum net worth, minimum tangible net worth,
minimum current ratio, minimum liquidity, positive quarterly income and limitations on additional indebtedness, dividends, sale of assets, and decline in the mortgage loan servicing portfolio’s fair value. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, management believes the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
The Company has an optional short-term financing agreement between FNMA and the lender described as “As Soon As Pooled” (ASAP). The Company can elect to assign FNMA MBS trades to FNMA in advance of settlement and enter into a financing transaction and revenue related to the assignment is deferred until the final pool settlement date. The Company determines utilization based on warehouse availability and cash needs. There was no outstanding balance as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
NOTES PAYABLE
Revolving Notes:
In January 2014, the Company entered into an agreement for a revolving note from one of its warehouse banks, which it can draw upon as needed and has renewed on an annual basis. Borrowings on the revolving note are collateralized by the Company’s GNMA MSRs. Monthly interest on the outstanding balance is calculated using a base rate tied to the LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin, with a floor of 4.50%. The revolving note also has an unused facility fee on the average unused balance, which is also paid quarterly. The unused facility fee is waived if the average outstanding balance exceeds 70% of the available facility. In June 2020, the Company amended and restated the agreement and the revolving note was increased to a maximum committed amount of $135.0 million. The agreement also allows for the Company to increase the committed amount up to $200.0 million. The revolving note is currently scheduled to expire in June 2022. The Company has the option to convert the outstanding balance of the revolving note into a term note at its discretion. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $45.0 million in outstanding borrowings on this credit facility.
In July 2017, the Company entered into an agreement for a revolving note of up to $25.0 million from one of its warehouse banks, which it can draw upon as needed and has renewed on an annual basis. In July 2018, the Company amended the agreement to increase the revolving note up to $50.0 million. In July 2020, the Company amended the agreement by extending the expiration date to July 2021 and increasing the revolving note up to $65.0 million. Borrowings on the revolving note are collateralized by the Company’s FHLMC MSRs. Monthly interest on the outstanding balance is calculated using a base rate tied to the LIBOR rate with a floor of 0.75% plus the applicable margin. The revolving note also has an unused facility fee on the average unused balance, which is also paid quarterly. The unused facility fee is waived if the average outstanding balance exceeds 50% of the available combined warehouse and MSR facility. The lender has the option to convert the outstanding balance of the revolving note into a term note at its discretion. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $20.0 million in outstanding borrowings on this credit facility.
Term Note:
In January 2014, the Company entered into a term note agreement with one of its warehouse banks collateralized by the Company’s FNMA MSRs. In March 2021, the term note was amended and restated, at which time there was an outstanding amount of $76.5 million. The outstanding amount of $76.5 million was rolled into a new term note with a commitment of $125.0 million. The note allows for the committed amount to be increased to a maximum of $175.0 million. The Company could draw on the committed amount through March 2022 and the note matures on March 25, 2024. Interest on the principal is paid monthly and is based upon a margin plus the highest of the (i) Prime Rate, (ii) Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, or (iii) the Eurodollar Base Rate plus 1.0%. Principal payments of 5% of the outstanding balance as of March 31, 2022 are due quarterly beginning April 15, 2022, with the remaining principal balance due upon maturity. The term note also has an unused facility fee equal to 0.375% of the average daily unadvanced amount, which is the difference between the committed amount and the amount outstanding. This fee is paid quarterly. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had an outstanding balance of $100.0 million and $80.8 million, respectively, on this facility.
