Mr. Haisheng Wu, Chief Executive Officer and Director of 360 DigiTech, commented, “Despite experiencing very challenging macro environment and prolonged lockdowns and travel restrictions in Shanghai and other regions of China to counter the spread of COVID-19, we managed to deliver another solid quarter during which we achieved our key operational and financial targets. In the second quarter, total facilitation and origination volume was RMB98.3 billion, up approximately 11% year-on-year. Approximately 56% of the loans was facilitated under the capital-light model, ICE and other technology solutions*12, which enabled us to mitigate some near term risks as we continued to pursue long term sustainable technology driven business models.

 

During the quarter, we continued our efforts to optimize our user base to lower overall credit risks and higher user retention. Such efforts not only enabled us to drive better risk performance in an otherwise challenging environment, but also allowed us to further lowered our product pricing during this quarter. Average IRR of the loans originated and facilitated through our platform was well below 24% in the second quarter, and we are in compliance with the rate cap requirement. In the second quarter, with ample supply of liquidity in the financial system, we continued to expand our partnership with larger financial institutions with national operations, and further lowered overall funding costs.

 

On the regulatory front, as one of the leading Credit-Tech platforms, we have worked diligently to implement necessary rectification to our operations and achieved key milestones in accordance with regulatory guidance and timelines. We note regulators’ recent comments regarding gradually shifting focus from rectification to regular supervision in many aspects of platform operations and we are also encouraged to see continued supportive statements for platform economy by various regulators.”

 

“We are pleased to report another quarter of solid financial results in a challenging macro environment. Total revenue was RMB4.18 billion and non-GAAP net income was RMB1.02 billion,” Mr. Alex Xu, Chief Financial Officer, commented. “During the quarter, we have smoothly navigated through the peak of the resurgence of COVID-19 and economic headwinds. Although we started to see modest recovery in consumer credit after lockdown measures were lifted in certain regions of China, we plan to continue to take a prudent approach to manage our business growth and risks. At the end of the second quarter, our total cash and cash equivalent*13 was approximately RMB11.4 billion, of which approximately RMB7.0 billion was non-restricted, further strengthening our financial positions to deal with near term economic challenges.”

 

Mr. Yan Zheng, Chief Risk Officer, added, “Second quarter presented unique challenges to risk management. On the one hand, lockdown measures related to COVID-19 hampered our collection operations in certain regions of China, which resulted in lower 30-day collection rates*14 early in the quarter. Following the easing of lockdown and other travel restrictions in June, 30-day collection rates recovered noticeably. Overall 30-day collection rates for the second quarter remained stable at around 86% sequentially. On the other hand, as we optimized our risk model and brought in more high quality users, overall risk profile of our borrowers continued to improve. Day-1 delinquency*15 further improved to 4.9% from 5.2% quarter-on-quarter, a historic low. Overall, under current economic conditions, we expect to see continued improvement in asset quality for the remainder of the year primarily due to our further penetration into better user segments.”

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 operation 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 net income represents net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP net income attributed to the Company represents net income attributed to the Company excluding share-based compensation expenses and non-GAAP net income per fully diluted ADS represents net income per fully diluted ADS excluding share-based compensation. 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.
