6. Borrowings (Continued)
Secured Facilities and Unsecured Debt
Private Education Loan ABCP Facilities
We have various ABCP borrowing facilities that we use to finance our Private Education Loans. Liquidity is available under these secured credit facilities to the extent we have eligible collateral and available capacity. The maximum borrowing capacity under these facilities will vary and is subject to each agreement’s borrowing conditions. These include but are not limited to the facility’s size, current usage and the availability and fair value of qualifying unencumbered Private Education Loan collateral. Our borrowings under these facilities are non-recourse. The maturity dates on these facilities range from June 2026 to October 2026. The interest rate on certain facilities can increase under certain circumstances. The facilities are subject to termination under certain circumstances. As of December 31, 2025, there was approximately $1.9 billion outstanding under these facilities, with approximately $2.3 billion of assets securing these facilities. As of December 31, 2025, the maximum unused capacity under these facilities was $1.7 billion and we had $1.3 billion of unencumbered Private Education Loans.
Private Education Loan Repurchase Facilities
These repurchase facilities are collateralized by the net assets in previously issued Private Education Loan ABS trusts. The lenders also have unsecured recourse to Navient Corporation as Guarantor for any shortfall in amounts payable. Because these facilities are secured by the Residual Interests in previous securitizations, we show the debt as part of Private Education Loan securitizations in the various borrowing tables above. As of December 31, 2025, there was approximately $0.5 billion outstanding under these facilities.
FFELP Loan ABCP Facilities
We have various ABCP borrowing facilities that we use to finance our FFELP Loans. Liquidity is available under these secured credit facilities to the extent we have eligible collateral and available capacity. The maximum borrowing capacity under these facilities will vary and is subject to each agreement’s borrowing conditions. These include but are not limited to the facility’s size, current usage and the availability and fair value of qualifying unencumbered FFELP Loan collateral. Our borrowings under these facilities are non-recourse. The maturity dates on these facilities range from November 2026 to April 2027. The interest rate on certain facilities can increase under certain circumstances. The facilities are subject to termination under certain circumstances. As of December 31, 2025, there was approximately $2.2 billion outstanding under these facilities, with approximately $2.3 billion of assets securing these facilities. As of December 31, 2025, the maximum unused capacity under these facilities was $193 million and we had $83 million of unencumbered FFELP Loans.
FFELP Loan Repurchase Facilities
These repurchase facilities are collateralized by the net assets in previously issued FFELP Loan ABS trusts. The lenders also have unsecured recourse to Navient Corporation as Guarantor for any shortfall in amounts payable. Because these facilities are secured by Navient-sponsored instruments issued in previous securitizations, we show the debt as part of FFELP Loan securitizations in the various borrowing tables above. As of December 31, 2025, there was approximately $0.1 billion outstanding under these facilities.
Senior Unsecured Debt
We issued $500 million, $0 and $1.0 billion of unsecured debt in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

About Debt Disclosures
Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.
Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
