Revolving Credit Facilities
In June of 2014 the Company entered into an unsecured $425 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with various lenders, with one lender serving as the administrative agent for the Facility. The Facility matures on July 1, 2018, and contains a sublimit of $75 million for letters of credit. The Company may borrow under the Facility in the ordinary course of business to fund its operations, including its land development and homebuilding activities. Borrowings under the Facility will be governed by, among other things a borrowing base. Interest rates on borrowings under the Facility will be based on either a daily eurocurrency base rate or a eurocurrency rate, in either case, plus a spread ranging from 2.15% to 2.85% depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2014, there was $4.4 million of capitalized other debt financing costs, included in other assets, related to the Facility that will amortize over the life of the Facility.
Prior to the new Facility, the Company had two secured revolving credit facilities, one with a maximum loan commitment of $50 million (“$50 million revolving credit facility”) and another with a maximum loan commitment of $175 million (“$175 million revolving credit facility”), both of which were paid in full and terminated upon consummation of the Facility.
As of June 30, 2014, the outstanding balance under the Facility was $210 million with an interest rate of 2.74% per annum and $126 million of availability after considering the borrowing base provisions and outstanding letters of credit. As noted above, there were no outstanding balances on the $50 million or $175 million revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance under the $50 million revolving credit facility was $9.1 million with an interest rate of 3.75% per annum and $20.2 million of availability. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance under the $175 million credit facility was $81.5 million with an interest rate of 2.92% per annum and $42.2 million of availability.
Seller Financed, Secured Acquisition and Development and Construction Loans
In May of 2014 the Company entered into a seller financed loan to acquire lots for the construction of homes from an unrelated third party. Principal and interest payments on this loan are due and payable as individual homes associated with the acquired land are delivered with any remaining unpaid balance due in May 2016. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $17.1 million of notes payable outstanding related to land acquisitions for which seller financing was provided. This note will accrue interest at a rate of 7% per annum, with interest calculated on a daily basis.
The Company has historically entered into secured acquisition and development loan agreements to purchase and develop land parcels. In addition, the Company has entered into secured construction loan agreements for the construction of its model and production homes. In conjunction with the Facility discussed above, all secured acquisition and development and construction loans were paid in full and terminated in June of 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $43.2 million of aggregate acquisition and development loan commitments and $22.4 million of aggregate construction loan commitments, of which $31.6 million and $15.8 million was outstanding, respectively.
