During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company made regularly scheduled mandatory principal payments under its senior secured credit facilities totaling $98,437 on Term Loan A and $27,432 on Term Loan B-1.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
Borrowings under the Company's senior secured credit facilities are guaranteed and secured by substantially all of DaVita Inc.'s and certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries' assets and are senior to all unsecured indebtedness. Borrowings under this facility's Term Loan A, Term Loan B-1 and revolving line of credit rank equal in priority for that security and related subsidiary guarantees under the facility's terms. Borrowings under this credit facility are based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), unless another base rate is elected. This facility also provides a mechanism for transition to an alternative variable base rate upon cessation of LIBOR.
Outstanding borrowings under Term Loan A and Term Loan B-1 consist of tranches that can range in maturity from one month to 12 months. As of December 31, 2022, all outstanding term loan tranches are one month in duration. For Term Loan A and Term Loan B-1, each tranche bears interest at a LIBOR rate determined by the duration of such tranche plus an interest rate margin. The LIBOR variable component of the interest rate for each tranche is reset as the tranche matures and a new tranche is established.
At December 31, 2022, the overall weighted average interest rate for Term Loan A and Term Loan B-1 was determined based upon the LIBOR interest rates in effect for all of their individual tranches plus the respective interest rate margins presented in the table above.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $165,000 outstanding on the $1,000,000 revolving line of credit under its senior secured credit facilities. Each of these borrowings were priced on one-month LIBOR variable base rates as well. Credit available under this revolving line of credit is reduced by the amount of any letters of credit outstanding thereunder, of which there were none as of December 31, 2022. The Company also had letters of credit of approximately $108,826 outstanding under a separate bilateral secured letter of credit facility as of December 31, 2022.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company's 2019 interest rate cap agreements described below had the economic effect of capping the Company's maximum exposure to LIBOR variable interest rate changes on equivalent amounts of the Company's floating rate debt, including all of Term Loan B-1 and a portion of Term Loan A. The remaining $659,269 outstanding principal balance of Term Loan A and the $165,000 balance outstanding on the revolving line of credit are subject to LIBOR-based interest rate volatility.
Senior Notes
The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations, rank equally in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness and require semi-annual interest payments. The Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at any time on or after certain specific dates and at certain specific redemption prices as outlined in each senior note agreement. Interest rates on the Senior Notes are fixed by their terms.
Interest rate cap agreements
The Company's interest rate cap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges and, as a result, changes in their fair values are reported in other comprehensive income. These cap agreements have variable legs priced at LIBOR to match the variable rates incurred on the senior secured credit facility borrowings that they hedge. Like the senior secured credit facilities, these interest rate cap agreements include a mechanism for transition to an alternative variable base rate upon cessation of LIBOR. The original premiums paid for the caps are amortized to debt expense on a straight-line basis over the term of each cap agreement starting from its effective date. These cap agreements do not contain credit-risk contingent features.
