First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Net revenue was RMB1,775.6 million (US$244.7 million), representing an increase of 20.4% from the same period of 2024.

Revenue from loan facilitation services was RMB1,478.6 million (US$203.8 million), representing an increase of 77.9% from the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to the increased volume facilitated by the Company.

Revenue from releasing of guarantee liabilities was RMB170.6 million (US$23.5 million), compared to RMB524.5 million in the same period of 2024. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to the decrease in average outstanding loan balances for which the Company provided guarantee services.

Facilitation and servicing expense was RMB336.0 million (US$46.3 million), representing a decrease of 49.6% from the same period of 2024. This was primarily due to decreased expenses related to financial guarantee services.

Allowance for uncollectible assets, loans receivable and others was RMB17.5 million (US$2.4 million), compared with RMB2.6 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to the additional oversea guarantees the Company provided in the first quarter of 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure

We use non-GAAP income from operation, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measure helps identify underlying trends in our business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses. We believe that non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information about our operating results, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Non-GAAP income from operation represents income from operation excluding share-based compensation expenses. Such adjustment has no impact on income tax.

Non-GAAP income from operation is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tool, and when assessing our operating performance, cash flows or our liquidity, investors should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for income from operation, net income, cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operation and cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

For more information on this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results" set forth at the end of this press release.
