Subsequent to December 31, 2020, the Company entered into a master purchase agreement with a new lender. The facility size is $250.0 million with an interest rate that is tied to LIBOR plus the applicable interest rate margin. The maturity date of the facility is January 2022.
The weighted average interest rate for warehouse lines of credit was 2.52% and 4.04% at December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 $15.6 million and $68.2 million in its warehouse buy down accounts as offsets to certain lines of credit at December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019.
