Real Estate Backed Loans
Real Estate Loan
Certain subsidiaries of Real Estate and U-Haul Co. of Florida are borrowers under real estate loans. These loans require monthly or quarterly principal and interest payments, with the unpaid loan balance and accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. These loans are secured by various properties owned by the borrowers. The interest rates, per the provisions of $180.9 million of these loans, are the applicable secured overnight funding rate (“SOFR”) plus the applicable margins and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. As of March 31, 2026, the applicable SOFR was between 3.66% and 3.67% and the applicable margin was between 0.65% and 1.38%, the sum of which, including the credit spread, was between 4.41% and 5.14%. The remaining $73.1 million of these loans was fixed with an interest rate of 4.30%. The default provisions of these real estate loans include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. We are in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2026.
Senior Mortgages
Various subsidiaries of Real Estate and U-Haul are borrowers under certain senior mortgages. The senior mortgages require monthly principal and interest payments. The senior mortgages are secured by certain properties owned by the borrowers. The fixed interest rates, per the provisions of the senior mortgages, range between 2.70% and 6.05%. Certain senior mortgages have an anticipated repayment date and a maturity date. If these senior mortgages are not repaid by the anticipated repayment date, the interest rate on these mortgages would increase from the current fixed rate. We are using the anticipated repayment date for our maturity schedule. Real Estate and U-Haul have provided limited guarantees of the senior mortgages. The default provisions of the senior mortgages include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. We are in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2026. There are limited restrictions regarding our use of the funds.
Real Estate Loans (Revolving Credit)
U-Haul Holding Company is a borrower under a multi-bank syndicated real estate loan. As of March 31, 2026, the maximum credit commitment is $465.0 million. As of March 31, 2026, the full capacity was available to borrow. This loan agreement provides for revolving loans, subject to the terms of the loan agreement. This loan requires monthly interest payments with the unpaid loan balance and accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. The default provisions of the loan include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. We are in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2026. There is a 0.25% fee charged for unused capacity.
Fleet Loans
Rental Truck Amortizing Loans
The amortizing loans require monthly principal and interest payments, with the unpaid loan balance and accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. These loans were used to purchase new trucks. The interest rates, per the provision of the loan agreements, are carried at fixed rates ranging between 1.61% and 6.02%. All of our rental truck amortizing loans are collateralized by the rental equipment purchased. The majority of these loans are funded at 70%, but some may be funded at 100%. U-Haul Holding Company is guarantor of these loans. The default provisions of these loans include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. We are in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2026. The net book value of the corresponding rental equipment was $228.6 million and $234.7 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Rental Truck Revolvers
Various subsidiaries of U-Haul entered into three revolving fleet loans with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $635.0 million. The aggregate outstanding balance for these revolvers as of March 31, 2026 was $635.0 million. The interest rates, per the provision of the loan agreements, are SOFR plus the applicable margin and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% on certain loans. As of March 31, 2026, SOFR was 3.67% and the margin was between 1.15% and 1.25%, the sum of which, including the credit spread, was between 4.92% and 5.02%. Of the $635.0 million outstanding, $87.5 million was fixed with an interest rate of 4.36%. Only interest is paid on the loans until the last nine months of the respective loan terms when principal becomes due monthly. The default provisions of the loan include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. We are in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2026. These fleet loans are collateralized by the rental equipment purchased. The net book value of the corresponding rental equipment was $710.7 million and $918.2 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Finance Leases
The Finance Lease balance represents our sale-leaseback transactions of rental equipment. The agreements were generally seven (7) year terms. All of our finance leases were collateralized by our rental fleet. The net book value of the corresponding rental equipment was $138.7 million as of March 31, 2025. There were no new financing leases, as assessed under the new leasing guidance, entered into during fiscal 2026. The finance leases were paid off as of March 31, 2026.
Finance Liabilities
Finance liabilities represent our rental equipment financing transactions, and we assess if these sale-leaseback transactions qualify as a sale at initiation by determining if a transfer of ownership occurs. We have determined that our equipment sale-leasebacks do not qualify as a sale, as the buyer-lessors do not obtain control of the assets in our ongoing sale-leaseback arrangements. As a result, these sale-leasebacks are accounted for as a financial liability and the leased assets are capitalized at cost. Our finance liabilities have an average term of seven (7) years and interest rates ranging from 1.60% to 6.80%. These finance liabilities are collateralized by the related assets of our rental fleet. The net book value of the corresponding rental equipment was $3,020.6 million and $2,420.7 million as of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The default provisions of the loans include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. We are in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2026.
Private Placements
In September 2021, U-Haul Holding Company entered into a note purchase agreement to issue $600.0 million of fixed rate senior unsecured notes in a private placement offering. These notes consist of four tranches each totaling $150.0 million and funded in September 2021. The fixed interest rates range between 2.43% and 2.78% with maturities between 2029 and 2033. Interest is payable semiannually. The default provisions of the loan include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. We are in compliance with the covenants as of March 31, 2026.
In December 2021, U-Haul Holding Company entered into a note purchase agreement to issue $600.0 million of fixed rate senior unsecured notes in a private placement offering.

On August 21, 2024, U-Haul Holding Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement") in connection with the private placement of our senior unsecured notes (the "Notes"). Under the Note Purchase Agreement, we sold an aggregate $500 million of the Notes, consisting of $100 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.86% Senior Notes, Series A due August 21, 2032, $100 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.91% Senior Notes, Series B due August 21, 2033, $100 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.95% Senior Notes, Series C due August 21, 2034, and $200 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.00% Senior Notes, Series D due August 21, 2035, each with maturities between 2032 and 2035.

Other Obligations
In February 2011, U-Haul Holding Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, NA, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”), entered into the U-Haul Investors Club Indenture. U-Haul Holding Company and the Trustee entered into this indenture to provide for the issuance of notes by us directly to investors over our proprietary website, uhaulinvestorsclub.com (“U-Notes”). The U-Notes are secured by various types of collateral, including, but not limited to, certain rental equipment and real estate. U-Notes are issued in smaller series that vary as to principal amount, interest rate and maturity.

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.
