Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Net revenue was RMB1,476.3 million (US$203.1 million), representing an increase of 15.5% from the same period of 2023.
Revenue from loan facilitation services was RMB951.1 million (US$130.9 million), representing an increase of 2.8% from the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by service fee optimization within our loan facilitation operations.
Revenue from releasing of guarantee liabilities was RMB424.8 million (US$58.5 million), compared to RMB197.2 million in the same period of 2023. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the growth in average outstanding loan balances which the Company provided guarantee services.
Other revenue was RMB100.4 million (US$13.7 million), representing a decrease of 35.5% from the same period of 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in revenue from individual investor referral services.
Facilitation and servicing expense was RMB608.2 million (US$83.7 million), representing an increase of 70.9% from the same period of 2023, primarily due to the increase of guarantee costs incurred.
Reversal of uncollectible receivables, contract assets, loans receivable and others was a reversal of RMB 3.3 million (US$ 0.5 million), compared with RMB13.8 million allowance in the same period of 2023, primarily due to the net impact of current period provision and recovery of certain receivables written off in prior year.
Sales and marketing expense was RMB486.6 million (US$67.0 million), representing an increase of 15.7% from the same period of 2023, primarily due to an increase in borrower acquisition expenses.
General and administrative expense was RMB65.0 million (US$8.9 million), representing an increase of 29.8% from the same period of 2023, primarily driven by an increase in payroll expenses and share-based compensation.
Research and development expense was RMB92.8 million (US$12.8 million), representing an increase of 36.3% from the same period of 2023, primarily due to higher employee compensation benefit expenses.
Income from operation was RMB227.1 million (US$31.3 million), representing a decrease of 38.5% from the same period of 2023.
Net income was RMB238.3 million (US$32.8 million), representing a decrease of 27.0% from RMB326.3 million in the same period of 2023.
