First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Net revenue for the first quarter of 2025 was RMB3,481.0 million (US$479.7 million), compared with RMB3,165.1 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increase in loan facilitation service fees and other revenue.

Loan facilitation service fees were RMB1,477.8 million (US$203.6 million) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB985.9 million for the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the transaction volume and average rate of transaction service fees. 

Post-facilitation service fees were RMB380.6 million (US$52.5 million) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB465.2 million for the same period of 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the rolling impact of deferred transaction fees.

Guarantee income was RMB1,099.5 million (US$151.5 million) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB1,346.1 million for the same period of 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in risk-bearing loans in the China market, as well as the rolling impact of deferred guarantee income. The fair value of quality assurance commitment upon loan origination is released as guarantee income systematically over the term of the loans subject to quality assurance commitment. 

Net interest income was RMB241.6 million (US$33.3 million) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB231.3 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the average outstanding loan balances of on-balance sheet loans in the China market.

Other revenue was RMB281.5 million (US$38.8 million) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB136.5 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the contributions from other revenue streams including referral fees.

Origination, servicing expenses and other costs of revenue were RMB620.5 million (US$85.5 million) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB539.6 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increase in facilitation costs and loan collection expenses as a result of higher outstanding loan balances. 

Sales and marketing expenses were RMB529.7 million (US$73.0 million) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB449.2 million for the same period of 2024, as a result of our more proactive customer acquisition efforts focusing on quality borrowers in both China and the international markets.

Research and development expenses were RMB126.0 million (US$17.4 million) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB120.5 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increased investment in technology development.

General and administrative expenses were RMB106.9 million (US$14.7 million) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB82.3 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increased benefits we provided to our employees.

Provision for accounts receivable and contract assets was RMB117.7 million (US$16.2 million) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB65.7 million for the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher transaction volume of off-balance sheet loans in the international markets. 

Provision for loans receivable was RMB85.4 million (US$11.8 million) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB81.3 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the loan volume and the outstanding loan balances of on-balance sheet loans in the China market.

Credit losses for quality assurance commitment were RMB1,011.6 million (US$139.4 million) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB1,198.1 million for the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in risk-bearing loans in the China market, partially offset by the increase in risk-bearing loans in the international markets.

Operating profit was RMB883.2 million (US$121.7 million) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB628.4 million for the same period of 2024.

Non-GAAP adjusted operating income, which excludes share-based compensation expenses before tax, was RMB917.9 million (US$126.5 million) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB658.7 million for the same period of 2024.

Other income was RMB8.4 million (US$1.2 million) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB31.0 million for the same period of 2024. The decrease was mainly due to reduced income from investments.

Income tax expense was RMB153.9 million (US$21.2 million) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB127.5 million for the same period of 2024. This increase was mainly due to the increase in pre-tax profit and partially offset by the decrease in effective tax rate.  

Net profit was RMB737.6 million (US$101.7 million) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB532.0 million for the same period of 2024.

Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company was RMB746.4 million (US$102.9 million) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB527.7 million for the same period of 2024.

Diluted net profit per ADS was RMB2.84 (US$0.39) and diluted net profit per share was RMB0.57 (US$0.08) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB1.97 and RMB0.39 for the same period of 2024, respectively.

Non-GAAP diluted net profit per ADS was RMB2.97 (US$0.41) and non-GAAP diluted net profit per share was RMB0.59 (US$0.08) for the first quarter of 2025, compared with RMB2.08 and RMB0.42 for the same period of 2024, respectively. Each ADS represents five Class A ordinary shares of the Company.
