Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Net revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was RMB3,168.0 million (US$435.9 million), compared with RMB3,075.7 million for the same period of 2023. This increase was primarily due to the increase in guarantee income and other revenue.
Loan facilitation service fees was RMB1,110.5 million (US$152.8 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB1,115.0 million for the same period of 2023, remaining stable year-over-year.
Post-facilitation service fees was RMB389.2 million (US$53.6 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB488.2 million for the same period of 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the rolling impact of deferred transaction fees.
Guarantee income was RMB1,298.9 million (US$178.7 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB1,072.9 million for the same period of 2023. This increase was primarily due to the increased outstanding loan balance of off-balance sheet loans in the international markets, higher guarantee rates and 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 RMB218.8 million (US$30.1 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB263.0 million for the same period of 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the average outstanding loan balances of on-balance sheet loans in the international markets.
Other revenue was RMB150.5 million (US$20.7 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB136.5 million for the same period of 2023. This increase was primarily due to the increase in customer referral fees from the financial institutions along with our Company's enhanced product and service offerings.
Origination, servicing expenses and other costs of revenue was RMB575.2 million (US$79.2 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB516.0 million for the same period of 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the facilitation costs as a result of the higher transaction volume in the international market and an increase in the loan collection expenses as a result of the higher outstanding loan balance.
Sales and marketing expenses was RMB473.3 million (US$65.1 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB468.8 million for the same period of 2023, as a result of our more proactive customer acquisition efforts focusing on better quality borrowers, especially in the international markets.
Research and development expenses was RMB119.3 million (US$16.4 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB124.6 million for the same period of 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the increase in technology development efficiency.
General and administrative expenses was RMB101.9 million (US$14.0 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB90.8 million for the same period of 2023. This increase was primarily due to the increase in employee compensation.
Provision for accounts receivable and contract assets was RMB57.2 million (US$7.9 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB67.5 million for the same period of 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the outstanding loan balances for which the Company bears credit risks in the China market.
Provision for loans receivable was RMB92.0 million (US$12.7 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB159.2 million for the same period of 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the decreases in the loan volume and the outstanding loan balances of on-balance sheet loans in the international markets.
Credit losses for quality assurance commitment was RMB1,190.6 million (US$163.8 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB1,073.5 million for the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the growth in the loan volume and the outstanding loan balances of off-balance sheet loans in the international markets.
Operating profit was RMB558.5 million (US$76.9 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB575.4 million for the same period of 2023.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating income, which excludes share-based compensation expenses before tax, was RMB598.6 million (US$82.4 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB606.9 million for the same period of 2023.
Other income was RMB67.7 million (US$9.3 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB119.9 million for the same period of 2023. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in government subsidies.
Income tax expense was RMB75.2 million (US$10.3 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB105.2 million for the same period of 2023. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in pre-tax profit and the change in the estimated annual effective tax rate.
Net profit was RMB551.0 million (US$75.8 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB590.1 million for the same period of 2023.
Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company was RMB551.1 million (US$75.8 million) for the second quarter of 2024, compared with RMB554.4 million for the same period of 2023.
