Rhea-AI Filing Summary
AppFolio established a $150.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a $25.0 million letter-of-credit sublimit and a $25.0 million swingline sublimit, scheduled to mature on September 30, 2030. The facility was undrawn as of September 30, 2025. Borrowings can be priced at one-, three- or six-month Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR (margins 125–200 bps) or at a Base Rate (margins 25–100 bps), and swingline loans use Daily Simple SOFR plus the same margin band. The facility allows increases up to the greater of $225.0 million or 100% of Consolidated EBITDA, subject to a pro forma Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio cap of 3.25:1.00. A financial covenant requires maintaining Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio ≤ 3.75:1.00 (≤ 4.25:1.00 during an Acquisition Step-Up Period). Obligations are guaranteed by subsidiaries and secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all personal property. The filing attaches the credit agreement as Exhibit 10.1.

Insights
AppFolio secured a flexible $150M revolver with conservative covenants
The new $150.0M senior secured revolving facility provides immediate liquidity optionality while remaining undrawn as of September 30, 2025. Pricing tied to SOFR or a Base Rate with margins of 25–200 bps gives the company choice over interest-cost profile.
The agreement permits growth of available capacity to the greater of $225.0M or 100% of Consolidated EBITDA if the pro forma leverage is ≤ 3.25:1.00. However, the covenant requiring Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio ≤ 3.75:1.00 (≤ 4.25:1.00 during an Acquisition Step-Up) is a binding limit that management must monitor. The facility is secured and guarantied, which is typical for this instrument and preserves lender protections.
