Insights

UWM refinances upcoming 2025 notes with a larger 2031 issuance.

UWM Holdings is issuing $1.0 billion of 6.250% senior unsecured notes due 2031, guaranteed by United Wholesale Mortgage, LLC. This extends the company’s debt maturity profile versus the existing 5.5% senior notes due 2025, and increases the size of that tranche.

Management intends to use the proceeds to repay the 2025 notes at maturity, reduce borrowings under MSR facilities, and fund general working capital needs. While the coupon on the new notes is higher than the 5.5% rate on the maturing notes, the transaction provides longer-term funding and consolidates obligations into a single 2031 maturity.

The guarantee from United Wholesale Mortgage, LLC and pari passu ranking with its existing senior unsecured notes define where these instruments sit in the capital structure. Subsequent disclosures may provide more detail on net changes in total debt and interest expense after this refinancing and paydown of MSR facilities.
