Fannie Mae MSR Financing
The Company, through two subsidiaries, PMT ISSUER TRUST-FMSR and PMT CO-ISSUER TRUST-FMSR (together, the "Issuer Trusts"), finances MSRs owned by PMC and the related excess servicing spread ("ESS") owned by PennyMac Holdings, LLC (“PMH”), another subsidiary of PMT, through a combination of repurchase agreements and term financing.
The repurchase agreement financings for Fannie Mae MSRs and ESS are effected through the issuance of variable funding notes (a Series 2017-VF1 Note, a Series 2024-VF1 Note, and a Series 2024-VF2 Note, together the "FMSR VFNs") by the Issuer Trusts to PMC and PMH, which are then sold to qualified institutional buyers under agreements to repurchase. The amounts outstanding under the FMSR
VFNs are included in Assets sold under agreements to repurchase in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The FMSR VFNs have a combined committed borrowing capacity of $1.1 billion under two-year repurchase agreement facilities.
The term financing for Fannie Mae MSRs through the Issuer Trusts is effected through the issuance of term notes (the “FT-1 Term Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act and a series of syndicated term loans with various lenders (the “FTL-1 Term Loans").
The FT-1 Term Notes and FTL-1 Term Loans and the FMSR VFNs are secured by certain participation certificates relating to Fannie Mae MSRs and ESS and rank pari passu with each other.

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.
