More importantly, we made significant progress in technology driven strategic transition and upgrading. During the quarter, over 50% of the loans was facilitated under the capital-light model and other technology solutions *10, exceeding our initial target by a wide margin. This marked a milestone of fundamental change to the nature of our business, from capital driven to technology driven.

 

“As of March 31, 2021 our embedded finance model gained further popularity among our business partners with 17 leading traffic platforms on board, contributing over 35% of new customer acquisition. On the SME front, we have ramped the operations rapidly with 67% sequential growth as both online and offline channels gained meaningful traction. Our unique owner + SME “dual core” risk management models have performed exceptionally well thus far, ensuring better than expected return in our SME operations. Our strategic collaboration with Kincheng Bank of Tianjin Co., Ltd. (“KCB”) also progressed faster than planned. KCB has already become the largest institution partner in terms of loan facilitation volume.

 

“We are very excited to start 2021 with a big bang! As macro economy in China continues to recover, we have experienced robust customer demand and further improvement in asset quality. We also believe recent regulatory actions will ultimately provide additional regulatory clarity for the leading platforms like us and pave the way for a healthy and consolidated industry. As our strategic initiatives achieved outstanding results across our operations, we further position ourselves to become one of the premium digital platforms in the long run. We feel more confident and thrilled than ever.”

 

We are very pleased to report another quarter of record profitability in a seasonally slow period. Total revenue was RMB3.60 billion and non-GAAP net income reached RMB1.41 billion. The strong financial performance was driven by better than expected macro recovery, solid contribution from our business initiatives, and consistent executions,” Mr. Alex Xu, Chief Financial Officer, commented. “Continued improvement in asset quality and increased contribution from capital light model also drove noticeable improvement in operating margins for the quarter. At the end of the quarter we had approximately RMB9.2 billion in cash and cash equivalent on the balance sheet, of which approximately RMB6.0 billion was non-restricted. We are off to a robust start in 2021 and the strong momentum continues into the current quarter, which gives us increased confidence to exceed our operational targets for 2021.”

 

Mr. Yan Zheng, Chief Risk Officer, added, “Our key risk management metrics continued to set new record during the quarter as overall asset quality continued to improve. Among the key leading indicators, Day-1 delinquency*11 decreased to approximately 5.0% in the first quarter, a new low in our corporate history. Meanwhile the 30-day collection rate*12 continued to stay above 90%. As we continue to take prudent approach in overall risk management operations, the effectiveness of our systems should enable us to support a faster growth of business while maintaining outstanding overall asset quality throughout 2021.”

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.

 

5/12

 

 

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.
