Mr. Yan Dinggui, the Founder, Director and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We made significant progress in completing our transition to institutional funding sources and sustained decent profitability, despite regulatory uncertainties and economic challenges due to COVID-19.  In the second quarter, the loan origination volume funded by institutions reached 98.6%.  This was quite an accomplishment, considering that institutions funded only 26.9% in the first quarter and none at all a year ago! We are proud of our rapid expansion of funding sources towards institutions. Completing this funding transition while delivering solid financial results creates a solid foundation for us to resume growth in the near future.”

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Net revenue was RMB245.0 million (US$34.7 million), representing a decrease of 61.5% from the same period of 2019.

Revenue from loan facilitation services was RMB163.2 million (US$23.1 million), representing a decrease of 65.8% from the same period of 2019. The decrease was primarily due to reduced loan origination volume. The loan facilitation service fees from loans funded by institutional funding partners were RMB159.6 million (US$22.6 million), which represented 97.8% of our total revenue from loan facilitation services, compared with nil in the same period of 2019.

Revenue from post-origination services was RMB39.8 million (US$5.6 million), representing a decrease of 53.6% from the same period of 2019. The decrease was due to the lower outstanding loan balance as well as the disposal of Shanghai Caiyin Asset Management Co. Ltd. (“Shanghai Caiyin”), which previously provided certain post-origination loan services.

Origination and servicing expense were RMB50.9 million (US$7.2 million), representing a decrease of 60.1% from the same period of 2019, primarily due to the lower volume of loans facilitated by the Company.

Allowance for uncollectible receivables and contract assets was RMB10.7 million (US$1.5 million), representing a decrease of 84.9% from the same period of 2019, primarily due to reduced loan origination, and the greater effort in credit assessment that improved the Company’s loan performance.

Sales and marketing expense were RMB64.6 million (US$9.1 million), representing a decrease of 56.9% from the same period of 2019, primarily due to lower customer acquisition expenses and reduced advertisement spending for promotional activities.  

General and administrative expense were RMB36.6 million (US$5.2 million), representing a decrease of 28.9% from the same period of 2019, primarily due to the decrease in share-based compensation expense and reduced travel and other business-related expenses.

Research and development expense were RMB34.1 million (US$4.8 million), representing a decrease of 32.5% from the same period of 2019, primarily due to the decrease in share-based compensation expense and a more streamlined team in technology and development department due to the business transition.

Income from operations was RMB48.0 million (US$6.8 million), representing a decrease of 74.1% from the same period of 2019, and a decrease of 6.1% sequentially.

Net income was RMB41.1 million (US$5.8 million), representing a decrease of 75.6% from the same period of 2019, and an increase of 4.1% sequentially.
