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.

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.

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.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use non-GAAP adjusted operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net profit, non-GAAP net profit attributable to FinVolution Group, and non-GAAP basic and diluted net profit per share and per ADS which are non-GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and expected discretionary measures. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures 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.

Non-GAAP adjusted operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net profit, non-GAAP net profit attributable to FinVolution Group, and non-GAAP basic and diluted net profit per share and per ADS are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tool, and when assessing our operating performance, cash flows or our liquidity, investors should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operation and cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

For more information on this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results” set forth at the end of this press release.
