Mr. Haisheng Wu, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Qifu Technology, commented, “As macro-economic recovery stalled and consumer sentiment softened, we made timely adjustment to our strategies and focused our effort on refined operations to drive better profitability and quality growth. For the third quarter, total loan facilitation and origination volume was RMB123.1 billion, up 11.3% year-on-year. Approximately 56% of the loan volume was facilitated under the capital-light model, ICE and other technology solutions.
Through optimizing customer acquisition channels and enriching product and service offerings, we added over 1.7 million new users with approved credit lines. In addition, we continued to strengthen our partnership with financial institutions and achieve overall better funding terms. During the quarter with the help of new ABS issuance, we further reduce our overall funding costs to record low levels.
As economic headwind persists, we experienced some fluctuation in asset quality during the quarter. However, many of the operational initiatives we launched in the quarter should continue to make positive contributions through the remainder of this year and the next year. In the long run, we will continue to drive for consistent executions and optimal balance between quality growth and manageable risks.”
“We are pleased to report another quarter of solid financial results in a rather challenging macro environment. Total revenue was RMB4.28 billion and non-GAAP net income was RMB1.18 billion for the third quarter,” Mr. Alex Xu, Chief Financial Officer, commented. “During the quarter, despite the macro uncertainty, we continued to improve our operational efficiency and drive for better economic returns. At the end of the third quarter, our total cash and cash equivalent*11 was approximately RMB8.2 billion, and we generated approximately RMB1.2 billion cash from operations. Our strong financial positions not only enable us to drive quality growth, but also allow us to deliver attractive shareholder returns through dividend payout and share repurchase.”
Mr. Yan Zheng, Chief Risk Officer, added, “We started to see fluctuation on key risk metrics in the third quarter as macro uncertainties impacted consumers’ sentiment and financial wellness. We took quick actions to tighten our credit assessment criteria to cope with the uncertainties. Among key leading indicators, Day-1 delinquency rate*12 was 4.6%, and 30-day collection rates*13 was approximately 87% for the third quarter. As the economic conditions change, we will continue to take a prudent approach in managing risks and navigating through this challenging macro headwinds.”

Loan facilitation and servicing fees-capital heavy were RMB479.2 million (US$65.7 million), compared to RMB582.9 million in the same period of 2022 and RMB395.5 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to shorter tenor of the loans compared to that in the same period of 2022. The sequential increase was primarily due to higher capital-heavy loan volume and longer effective tenor of the loans compared to that in the prior quarter.
Financing income*14 was RMB1,369.9 million (US$187.8 million), compared to RMB877.1 million in the same period of 2022 and RMB1,188.7 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year and sequential increases were primarily due to the growth in average outstanding balance of the on-balance-sheet loans.
Revenue from releasing of guarantee liabilities was RMB1,165.7 million (US$159.8 million), compared to RMB1,447.6 million in the same period of 2022, and RMB1,158.6 million in the prior quarter.

Other services fees were RMB56.1 million (US$7.7 million), compared to RMB33.6 million in the same period of 2022, and RMB45.9 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year and sequential increases were mainly due to the increases in late payment fees under the capital-heavy model.

Referral services fees were RMB234.2 million (US$32.1 million), compared to RMB85.4 million in the same period of 2022 and RMB160.9 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year and sequential increases were mainly due to the increase in the loan facilitation volume through ICE.
Other services fees were RMB112.0 million (US$15.4 million), compared to RMB77.4 million in the same period of 2022 and RMB76.9 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year and sequential increases were mainly due to increase in late payment fees and other service fees.

Funding costs were RMB160.2 million (US$22.0 million), compared to RMB138.5 million in the same period of 2022 and RMB165.2 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to increases in funding from ABS, as a result of continued growth in on-balance-sheet loan balance, partially offset by the lower average cost of ABS.
Sales and marketing expenses were RMB529.6 million (US$72.6 million), compared to RMB624.1 million in the same period of 2022 and RMB436.5 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to decline in unit customer acquisition cost.

General and administrative expenses were RMB95.4 million (US$13.1 million), compared to RMB102.7 million in the same period of 2022 and RMB112.8 million in the prior quarter.

Provision for loans receivable was RMB509.0 million (US$69.8 million), compared to RMB191.5 million in the same period of 2022 and RMB483.3 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year and sequential increases were mainly due to the growth in loan origination volume of on-balance-sheet loans.

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 per fully diluted ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses. Such adjustments have no impact on income tax. We believe that Non-GAAP income from operation and Non-GAAP net income 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.
