Mr. Haisheng Wu, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Qifu Technology, commented, “We delivered another solid quarter despite macro-economic headwinds. We continued to make noticeable progress in key areas of our operations and achieved better efficiency and further enhanced returns of our assets.

During the quarter, we continued to optimize our business mix. Non-credit risk bearing loans accounted for nearly 65% of total volume. The better loan structure not only helped us mitigate some risks in a challenging environment, but also yielded better financial metrics. In the second quarter, we further reduced user acquisition costs through a prudent user acquisition approach and diversified user acquisition channels. Meanwhile, in a relatively accommodating funding environment, we continued to solidify our relationship with financial institution partners and further reduced overall funding costs to another historic low.

Looking ahead, we intend to continue to take a disciplined risk management approach in a still uncertain macro environment as we are seeing gradually improving asset quality and tentatively stabilizing credit demand. With our consistent execution, we believe we are well positioned to capture long-term opportunities by building a comprehensive credit-tech platform that offers differentiate products and services to users and financial institution partners based on their respective credit profiles and risk preferences.”

“We are pleased to report another quarter of strong financial results in an uncertain macro environment. Total net revenue was RMB4.16 billion and Non-GAAP net income was RMB1.41 billion for the second quarter,” Mr. Alex Xu, Chief Financial Officer, commented. “During the quarter, we saw continued improvement in net take rates with stable pricing, improving risks, and lowering funding costs. At the end of the second quarter, our total cash and cash equivalent^*11 was approximately RMB8.49 billion, and we generated approximately RMB1.96 billion cash from operations. During the quarter, we started to execute the 12-month, US$350 million share repurchase program, at an accelerated pace. Our strong financial positions not only enable us to pursue business opportunities, but also allow us to generate strong shareholder returns through dividend payout and share repurchase.”

Mr. Yan Zheng, Chief Risk Officer, added, “We experienced further improvement in overall risk metrics of our loan book in the second quarter as we continued to take a prudent approach in managing risks. Among key leading indicators, Day-1 delinquency rate^*12 was 4.8%, and 30-day collection rate^*13 was approximately 86.3%. Recently, there has been further improvement in 30-day collection rates, bringing this metric to reach near its best levels in the past two years. As we remain vigilant in risk management under current macro environment, we expect to see gradual improvement in key risk metrics in the coming quarters.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use Non-GAAP financial measure, which is adjusted from results based on U.S. GAAP to exclude share-based compensation expenses. Reconciliations of our Non-GAAP financial measures to our U.S. GAAP financial measures are set forth in tables at the end of this earnings release, which provide more details on the Non-GAAP financial measures.

We use Non-GAAP income from operation, Non-GAAP operating margin, Non-GAAP net income, Non-GAAP net income margin, Non-GAAP net income attributed to the Company and Non-GAAP net income per fully diluted ADS in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Non-GAAP income from operation represents income from operation excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP operating margin is equal to Non-GAAP income from operation divided by total net revenue. Non-GAAP net income represents net income excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net income margin is equal to Non-GAAP net income divided by total net revenue. Non-GAAP net income attributed to the Company represents net income attributed to the Company excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net income per fully diluted ADS represents net income excluding share-based compensation expenses per fully diluted ADS. Such adjustments have no impact on income tax. We believe that Non-GAAP income from operation, Non-GAAP operating margin, Non-GAAP net income, Non-GAAP net income margin, Non-GAAP net income attributed to the Company and Non-GAAP net income per fully diluted ADS help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that we include in results based on U.S. GAAP. We believe that Non-GAAP income from operation and Non-GAAP net income provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. Our Non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP results. In addition, our calculation of Non-GAAP financial information may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.
