Homebuilding:

The Company has a $975 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $1.25 billion, subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to approximately 50% of the revolving credit commitment. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the available borrowing capacity. The interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility may be based on either the Prime Rate or London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin, as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility. The maturity date of the facility is September 7, 2019. At March 31, 2015, the Company had $175.0 million of borrowings outstanding at a 1.9% annual interest rate and $90.3 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility.

The Company's revolving credit facility imposes restrictions on its operations and activities, including requiring the maintenance of a minimum level of tangible net worth, a maximum allowable ratio of debt to tangible net worth and a borrowing base restriction if the Company's ratio of debt to tangible net worth exceeds a certain level. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity. In addition, the credit agreement governing the facility and the indentures governing the senior notes impose restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens. At March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its revolving credit facility and public debt obligations.


The Company has an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in September 2012, registering debt and equity securities that the Company may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined. The Company anticipates filing a new universal shelf registration statement that will register debt and equity securities prior to the expiration of its current universal shelf registration statement in September 2015.

In February 2015, the Company issued $500 million principal amount of 4.0% senior notes due February 15, 2020, with interest payable semi-annually. The notes represent unsecured obligations of the Company. The annual effective interest rate of the senior notes after giving effect to the amortization of financing costs is 4.2%. On February 15, 2015, the Company repaid the remaining $157.7 million principal amount of its 5.25% senior notes which were due on that date.

Effective August 1, 2014, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company's debt securities effective through July 31, 2015. All of the $500 million authorization was remaining at March 31, 2015.

Financial Services:

The Company’s mortgage subsidiary, DHI Mortgage, has a mortgage repurchase facility that is accounted for as a secured financing. The mortgage repurchase facility provides financing and liquidity to DHI Mortgage by facilitating purchase transactions in which DHI Mortgage transfers eligible loans to the counterparties against the transfer of funds by the counterparties, thereby becoming purchased loans. DHI Mortgage then has the right and obligation to repurchase the purchased loans upon their sale to third-party purchasers in the secondary market or within specified time frames from 45 to 120 days in accordance with the terms of the mortgage repurchase facility. In February 2015, the mortgage repurchase facility was amended and its maturity date was extended to February 26, 2016. Additionally, new commitments were obtained from banks which increased the total capacity of the facility to $400 million. The amendment allows for the capacity of the facility to be increased further, without requiring additional commitments, from $400 million to $450 million during the last five days of any fiscal quarter and the first twenty-five days of the following fiscal quarter. Additionally, the capacity of the facility can be increased to $550 million subject to the availability of additional commitments.

As of March 31, 2015, $485.6 million of mortgage loans held for sale with a collateral value of $469.6 million were pledged under the mortgage repurchase facility. As a result of advance paydowns totaling $72.1 million, DHI Mortgage had an obligation of $397.5 million outstanding under the mortgage repurchase facility at March 31, 2015 at a 2.4% annual interest rate.

The mortgage repurchase facility is not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s homebuilding debt. The facility contains financial covenants as to the mortgage subsidiary’s minimum required tangible net worth, its maximum allowable ratio of debt to tangible net worth and its minimum required liquidity. These covenants are measured and reported monthly. At March 31, 2015, DHI Mortgage was in compliance with all of the conditions and covenants of the mortgage repurchase facility.
