Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Net revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was RMB3,276.1 million (US$466.8 million), compared with RMB3,197.5 million for the same period of 2023. This increase was primarily due to the increase in loan facilitation service fees, guarantee income and other revenue.
Loan facilitation service fees was RMB1,253.1 million (US$178.6 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB1,129.8 million for the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the transaction volume.
Post-facilitation service fees was RMB425.3 million (US$60.6 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB498.9 million for the same period of 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the rolling impact of deferred transaction fees in the China market.
Guarantee income was RMB1,234.8 million (US$176.0 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB1,152.0 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 market, as well as 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 RMB185.7 million (US$26.5 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB273.3 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 RMB177.1 million (US$25.2 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB143.5 million for the same period of 2023. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the contributions from other revenue streams.
Origination, servicing expenses and other costs of revenue was RMB603.1 million (US$85.9 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB520.0 million for the same period of 2023. This increase was primarily due to the increase in facilitation costs and loan collection expenses as a result of higher outstanding loan balances.
Sales and marketing expenses was RMB560.2 million (US$79.8 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB530.1 million for the same period of 2023, as a result of our more proactive customer acquisition efforts focusing on quality borrowers in both China and the international markets.
Research and development expenses was RMB130.7 million (US$18.6 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB132.6 million for the same period of 2023. This decrease was primarily due to our improvements in technology development efficiency.
General and administrative expenses was RMB116.8 million (US$16.6 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB98.6 million for the same period of 2023. This increase was primarily due to the increased benefits we provided to our employees.
Provision for accounts receivable and contract assets was RMB99.0 million (US$14.1 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB86.9 million for the same period of 2023. This increase was primarily due to the increase in transaction loan volume in both China and international markets.
Provision for loans receivable was RMB82.4 million (US$11.7 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB176.8 million for the same period of 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease 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 RMB1,123.6 million (US$160.1 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB1,099.2 million for the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the increased outstanding loan balances of off-balance sheet loans in the international markets.
Operating profit was RMB560.2 million (US$79.8 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB553.4 million for the same period of 2023.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating income, which excludes share-based compensation expenses before tax, was RMB599.8 million (US$85.5 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB583.8 million for the same period of 2023.
Other income was RMB185.5 million (US$26.4 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB124.4 million for the same period of 2023. The increase was mainly due to the increase in government subsidies.
Income tax expense was RMB121.7 million (US$17.3 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB103.1 million for the same period of 2023. This increase was mainly due to the increase in pre-tax profit and the change in effective tax rate.
Net profit was RMB624.1 million (US$88.9 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB574.7 million for the same period of 2023.
Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company was RMB623.6 million (US$88.9 million) for the third quarter of 2024, compared with RMB566.0 million for the same period of 2023.

MitrEarth, a knowledge platform, identifies risk points, provides disaster warning, reduces losses
Published

January 13, 2025By
BANGKOK, Thailand, Jan. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MitrEarth, an innovative online platform developed by Chulalongkorn University lecturers, simplifies geological knowledge and provides cutting-edge topographic data for each Thai province. It identifies risk points, delivers disaster warnings, and enhances community preparedness. The platform gained prominence when heavy rains and muddy water devastated Mae Sai District, Chiang Rai Province, raising urgent questions: Where will the water flow? Will it reach our homes? Should we prepare to relocate?
Created by Prof. Dr. Santi Phailobli from Chulalongkorn University’s Department of Geology, MitrEarth addresses these concerns. Since its launch in 2019, it has become a trusted source for disaster-related information, gaining over 200,000 followers. Its topographic maps, developed using GIS tools and satellite data, enable users to understand their local terrain and assess disaster risks. These maps have been utilized by local authorities and public pages for disaster warnings and response planning.
During recent floods in Chiang Rai, Lampang, and Sukhothai, MitrEarth’s maps provided actionable insights. Pages like Chiang Rai Conversation and Ramrome Weather cited MitrEarth to warn residents in vulnerable areas. As Dr. Santi emphasizes, “Disasters, whether rare or frequent, can cause immense damage. Understanding geology helps us communicate and prepare effectively, reducing impacts.”
Dr. Santi’s platform also serves as an educational tool, offering free access to maps and resources for both teaching and disaster management. He advocates integrating disaster education into school curriculums, ensuring everyone understands local risks such as floods, mudslides, and tsunamis. Notably, he highlights the severe 2001 Phetchabun mudslide, which claimed 136 lives, as a reminder of the need for vigilance.
MitrEarth’s GIS maps play a crucial role in disaster management, offering detailed, real-time data tailored to various scenarios. The platform also collaborates with Chulalongkorn University’s Digital War Room, integrating predictive tools for floods and landslides. While Dr. Santi acknowledges AI’s potential in disaster forecasting, he believes Thailand lacks sufficient data for reliable implementation.
Despite these challenges, Dr. Santi remains committed to expanding MitrEarth’s capabilities. He continues to refine data sets, improve map accessibility, and engage directly with communities to enhance disaster preparedness. For those seeking to understand and mitigate natural disasters, MitrEarth offers a vital resource.
