Debt | Debt Our senior notes are summarized as follows ($000’s omitted):
Debt retirement In June 2015, we retired $238.0 million of senior notes at their scheduled maturity date. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we retired prior to their scheduled maturity dates senior notes totaling $245.7 million and recorded losses related to these transactions totaling $8.6 million. Losses on debt repurchase transactions include the write-off of unamortized discounts, premiums, and transaction fees and are reflected in other expense, net. Revolving credit facility In July 2014, we entered into a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) maturing in July 2017. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for maximum borrowings of $500 million and contains an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the Revolving Credit Facility to $1.0 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit that reduce available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility and may total no more than the greater of: (i) 50% of the size of the facility or (ii) $300 million in the aggregate. The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be based on either the London Interbank Offered Rate or Base Rate plus an applicable margin, as defined. At June 30, 2015, we had no borrowings outstanding and $193.4 million of letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum Tangible Net Worth, a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio, and a maximum Debt to Capitalization Ratio (as each term is defined in the Revolving Credit Facility). As of June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenants. Outstanding balances under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Limited recourse notes payable Certain of our local homebuilding operations maintain limited recourse collateralized notes payable with third parties that totaled $22.3 million at both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. These notes have maturities ranging up to six years, are collateralized by the applicable land positions to which they relate, have no recourse to any other assets, and are classified within accrued and other liabilities. The stated interest rates on these notes range up to 5.00%. Pulte Mortgage Pulte Mortgage maintains a master repurchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with third party lenders. In September 2014, Pulte Mortgage entered into an amendment to the Repurchase Agreement that extended the effective date to September 2015 and established a borrowing capacity of $150.0 million. The capacity reduced to $99.8 million in February 2015 and increased again to $150.0 million in June 2015. The purpose for the change in capacity during the term of the agreement is to lower associated fees during seasonally low volume periods when the additional capacity is unnecessary. Borrowings under the Repurchase Agreement are secured by residential mortgage loans available-for-sale. The Repurchase Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants applicable to Pulte Mortgage, including quantitative thresholds related to net worth, net income, and liquidity. Pulte Mortgage had $119.3 million and $140.2 million outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and was in compliance with all of its covenants and requirements as of such dates. |
