WAREHOUSE AND OTHER LINES OF CREDIT WAREHOUSE AND OTHER LINES OF CREDIT
At March 31, 2025, the Company was a party to nine revolving lines of credit with lenders providing $3.7 billion of warehouse and securitization facilities. The facilities are used to fund, and are secured by, residential mortgage loans held for sale. The facilities are repaid using proceeds from the sale of loans. Interest is generally payable monthly in arrears or on the repurchase date of a loan, and outstanding principal is payable upon receipt of loan sale proceeds or on the repurchase date of a loan. Outstanding principal related to a particular loan must also be repaid after the expiration of a contractual period of time or, if applicable, upon the occurrence of certain events of default with respect to the underlying loan. Interest expense is recorded to interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. The base interest rates on the facilities bear interest at a derivative of the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), plus a margin. Some of the facilities carry additional fees charged on the total line amount, commitment fees charged on the committed portion of the line, and non-usage fees charged when monthly usage falls below a certain utilization percentage. As of March 31, 2025, the interest rate was comprised of the applicable base rate plus a spread ranging from 1.50% to 2.25%. The base interest rate for warehouse facilities is subject to increase based upon the characteristics of the underlying loans collateralizing the lines of credit, including, but not limited to product type and number of days held for sale. The warehouse lines have maturities staggered from September 2025 through September 2026. As of March 31, 2025, there was one securitization facility with an original two year term scheduled to expire in 2026. All other warehouse lines and other lines of credit are subject to renewal based on an annual credit review conducted by the lender.

Certain warehouse line lenders require the Company to maintain cash accounts with minimum required balances at all times. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had posted a total of $8.7 million and $15.6 million, respectively, of restricted cash as collateral with our warehouse lenders and securitization facilities of which $4.8 million were the minimum required balances.

Under the terms of these warehouse lines, the Company is required to maintain various covenants. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the warehouse lines.
Securitization Facilities

In September 2024, in connection with the termination of a securitization facility issued in 2021, the Company issued notes and a class of owner trust certificates through an additional securitization facility (“2024-1 Securitization Facility”) backed by a revolving warehouse line of credit. The 2024-1 Securitization Facility is secured by first-lien, fixed-rate or adjustable-rate, residential mortgage loans originated in accordance with the criteria of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for the purchase of mortgage loans or in accordance with the criteria of Ginnie Mae for the guarantee of securities backed by mortgage loans. The 2024-1 Securitization Facility issued $300.0 million in notes that bear interest at SOFR, plus a margin. The 2024-1 Securitization Facility will terminate on the earlier of (i) the two-year anniversary of the initial purchase date, (ii) the Company exercising its right to optional prepayment in full, or (iii) the date of the occurrence and continuance of an event of default.

Servicing Advance Facilities

In September 2020, the Company, through its indirect-wholly owned subsidiary loanDepot Agency Advance Receivables Trust (the “Advance Receivables Trust”), entered into a variable funding note facility for the financing of servicing advance receivables with respect to residential mortgage loans serviced by it on behalf of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Pursuant to an indenture, the Advance Receivables Trust can issue up to $100.0 million in variable funding notes (the “2020-VF1 Notes”). The 2020-VF1 Notes accrue interest at SOFR plus a margin per annum. In September 2024, the 2020-VF1 Notes were extended to mature in September 2025 (unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms). At March 31, 2025, there was $20.1 million in 2020-VF1 Notes outstanding, with pledged servicing advances of $24.4 million.

At March 31, 2025, there were $200.0 million in Term Notes outstanding and no unamortized deferred financing costs.

Other Secured Financings

In April 2024, the Company executed a securitization of a pool of approximately $150.0 million fixed-rate and adjustable-rate, performing, re-performing and non-performing residential mortgage loans, whereby the loans were transferred to statutory trust MMCA 2024-SD1. The Company evaluated the sale of loans according to ASC 860 - Transfers and Servicing and determined that the transaction does not qualify for sale treatment. As a result, the securitization was recorded as a secured borrowing in which the loans remain on the consolidated balance sheet as loans held for investment, at fair value and the securitization debt is also recognized on the consolidated balance sheet in debt obligations, net. The secured financing is collateralized by and indexed to the pool of residential mortgage loans held by a VIE. As of March 31, 2025, there was $95.0 million outstanding in other secured financings, net of $7.1 million in debt discount and $1.1 million in unamortized deferred financing costs.
Senior Notes

In October 2020, the Company issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.50% unsecured senior notes due 2025, (the “2025 Senior Notes”). The 2025 Senior Notes will mature on November 1, 2025. Interest on the 2025 Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 6.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The Company may redeem the 2025 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at various redemption prices. In June 2024, the Company completed an offer to exchange any and all of the outstanding 2025 Senior Notes for newly issued Senior Secured Notes due November 2027 (the “2027 Senior Notes”). The offer was an exchange for a mixed consideration of $1,100 in cash and principal amount of 2027 Senior Notes for each $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Senior Notes tendered at or prior to the expiration date. At the time of expiration, the Company repurchased $478.0 million of 2025 Senior Notes in exchange for $340.6 million of 2027 Senior Notes and cash of $185.0 million resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $5.7 million. Interest on the 2027 Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 8.750% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The Company may redeem the 2027 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at various redemption prices. The 2027 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by certain of LD Holding’s wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries, and secured by a first priority security interest (subject to permitted liens) in (1) a securities account holding certain risk retention securities (trading securities) held by MCS, a guarantor of the 2027 Senior Notes, (2) certain unencumbered non-agency mortgage servicing rights held by LDLLC, a guarantor of the 2027 Senior Notes, with a fair value of up to $60.0 million, and (3) a securities account holding $100.6 million aggregate principal amount of LD Holding’s 6.125% 2028 Senior Notes that were previously repurchased by LD Holdings held by ART, a guarantor of the 2027 Senior Notes.

The Company evaluated the debt exchange under the guidance in ASC 470-50 Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments. As the present value of the cash flows under the 2027 Senior Notes differed by more than 10% from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the 2025 Senior Notes, it was determined that the debt was substantially different, and therefore, the transaction was accounted for as a debt extinguishment. As of March 31, 2025, there were $19.8 million in 2025 Senior Notes outstanding and $46 thousand in unamortized deferred financing costs. As of March 31, 2025. there were $340.6 million in 2027 Senior Notes outstanding, $35.9 million of unamortized debt discount and $5.1 million in unamortized deferred financing costs.

In March 2021, the Company issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.125% unsecured senior notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes” and together with the 2025 Senior Notes and 2027 Senior Notes, the "Senior Notes"). The 2028 Senior Notes will mature on April 1, 2028. Interest on the 2028 Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 6.125% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The Company may redeem the 2028 Senior Notes at various redemption prices. As of March 31, 2025, there were $499.4 million in 2028 Senior Notes outstanding and $3.2 million in unamortized deferred financing costs.

Interest Expense
Interest expense on all outstanding debt obligations with variable rates is paid based on SOFR, or other alternative base rate, plus a margin ranging from 0.90% - 4.25%.
