Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Net revenue was RMB811.6 million (US$121.2 million), representing an increase of 64.9% from the same period of 2021.

Revenue from loan facilitation services was RMB742.6 million (US$110.9 million), representing an increase of 63.7% from the same period of 2021. The increase was primarily due to the increased loan origination volume from the Company’s institutional funding partners.

Other revenue was RMB69.0 million (US$10.3 million), compared with RMB38.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase was mainly driven by revenue generated from individual investor referral services, partially offset by the ongoing restructuring of the Company's overseas business.

Origination and servicing expense was RMB128.3 million (US$19.2 million), representing an increase of 54.2% from the same period of 2021, driven by the increase in the Company’s loan origination volume.

Allowance for receivables and contract assets was RMB7.0 million (US$1.0 million), representing a decrease of 46.2% from the same period of 2021, primarily due to the ongoing restructuring of the Company's overseas business.

Sales and marketing expense was RMB235.0 million (US$35.1 million), representing an increase of 34.9% from the same period of 2021, primarily due to an increase in borrower acquisition expenses in the second quarter of 2022.

General and administrative expense was RMB42.6 million (US$6.4 million), representing an increase of 21.0% from the same period of 2021, primarily driven by an increase in expenditures in employee compensation and related benefits.

Research and development expense was RMB54.1 million (US$8.1 million), representing an increase of 69.6% from the same period of 2021, primarily due to higher employee compensation and benefit costs as well as increased professional service fees.

Income from operations was RMB344.5 million (US$51.4 million), representing an increase of 130.3% from RMB149.6 million in the same period of 2021.

Net income was RMB253.8 million (US$37.9 million), representing an increase of 100.2% from RMB126.8 million in the same period of 2021.
