PARIS, Nov. 21, 2024 /CNW/ — Pigment, the business planning platform, today announced that it has been recognized by Gartner as a Visionary in the Magic Quadrant for Financial Planning Software. A complimentary copy of the report is available here.
In today’s environment, business agility and adaptability are essential for success. Pigment empowers organizations to meet these demands through its innovative, efficient architecture. With Pigment, data is consistent across applications and functions, facilitating truly integrated business planning. Pigment’s sparse engine also means that the platform is able to handle large datasets without running into performance issues.
“We are honored to be recognized in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Financial Planning Software. We believe this reflects the depth of our vision and our strong track record delivering on our roadmap,” said Eléonore Crespo, co-CEO and co-Founder, Pigment. “Effective planning is the foundation of strategic decision-making, but to do this effectively, businesses need powerful, collaborative planning platforms that prioritize continuous innovation and user experience. While many solutions have fallen short, Pigment is bridging these gaps by delivering on product strategy and prioritizing the customer experience.”
Pigment’s product strategy is built on three pillars, all of which we believe have contributed to our inclusion and positioning in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Financial Planning Software.
Efficient architecture
Pigment’s architecture is flexible, scalable, and connected, to facilitate truly integrated business planning at scale. Data integration is a key part of this, establishing a shared language across teams that facilitates collaboration, reduces manual errors and accelerates decision making. As such, businesses are in a better position to make more informed decisions.
A commitment to continuous product innovation
Pigment’s product strategy focuses on delivering a solution that meets the needs of all diverse stakeholders involved in financial planning. Key updates released in the last year include Pigment, new integrations with enterprise tech stacks, and additional security controls.
By prioritizing innovation, user experience, and performance optimization, Pigment enhances integrated business planning, which both elevates financial planning and fosters agility throughout the organization.
Looking ahead, Pigment will continue to further this through expanded AI capabilities such as machine learning for statistical forecasting and assisted modeling, as well as intuitive reporting visualizations, additional integrations, and use-case specific updates.
Exceptional product and customer experiences
Pigment is committed to delivering a gold standard for customer and user experience that
begins at implementation and continues through the customer journey.
This includes a focus on building an intuitive platform that is easy to use, structured methodologies to ensure that every Pigment implementation is a success, and promoting business-owned upkeep so that organizations can manage the use of Pigment independently.
We feel Pigment’s recognition as a 2024 Customers’ Choice in the Gartner Voice of the Customer for Financial Planning Software also highlighted a strong focus on delivering exceptional customer experiences for businesses.
“No matter how advanced a product is, if it’s difficult to use, poorly implemented, or is difficult to maintain, adoption will suffer, and it won’t fulfill its potential of delivering value to a business,” said Romain Niccoli, co-founder and co-CEO of Pigment. That’s why we’ve always prioritized creating a product that’s not only powerful, but also easy to use and genuinely loved by our customers. By staying committed to our customers’ needs and continuously innovating we’re ensuring that Pigment will always remain a trusted partner in helping them achieve their goals.

BEIJING, Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Yiren Digital Ltd. (NYSE: YRD) (“Yiren Digital” or the “Company”), an AI-powered platform providing a comprehensive suite of financial and lifestyle services in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Third Quarter 2024 Operational Highlights
Financial Services Business
Total loans facilitated in the third quarter of 2024 reached RMB13.4 billion (US$1.9 billion), representing an increase of 3.5% from RMB12.9 billion in the second quarter of 2024 and compared to RMB9.8 billion in the same period of 2023.Cumulative number of borrowers served reached 11,611,899 as of September 30, 2024, representing an increase of 7.4% from 10,807,497 as of June 30, 2024, and compared to 8,595,780 as of September 30, 2023.Number of borrowers served in the third quarter of 2024 was 1,498,020, representing an increase of 0.4% from 1,491,756 in the second quarter of 2024 and compared to 1,204,012 in the same period of 2023. As our efforts to upgrade the customer mix reach a milestone success, we are now shifting our focus to increasing the repeat rate of existing high-quality borrowers.Outstanding balance of performing loans facilitated reached RMB22.8 billion (US$3.2 billion) as of September 30, 2024, representing an increase of 4.3% from RMB21.8 billion as of June 30, 2024 and compared to RMB15.1 billion as of September 30, 2023.
Insurance Brokerage Business
Cumulative number of insurance clients served reached 1,470,738 as of September 30, 2024, representing an increase of 4.3% from 1,410,158 as of June 30, 2024, and compared to 1,256,762 as of September 30, 2023.Number of insurance clients served in the third quarter of 2024 was 82,291, representing a decrease of 7.3% from 88,766 in the second quarter of 2024, and compared to 123,693 in the same period of 2023. The decrease was due to the decline in new sales of our insurance products amid regulatory changes.Gross written premiums in the third quarter of 2024 were RMB1,351.3 million (US$192.6 million), representing an increase of 27.4% from RMB1,060.9 million in the second quarter of 2024 and compared to RMB1,428.5 million in the same period of 2023. The quarterly increase was attributed to the gradual recovery of our life insurance business following product changes made in response to new regulations, along with the continued rise in renewed life insurance premiums.
Consumption and Lifestyle Business
Total gross merchandise volume generated through our e-commerce platform and “Yiren Select” channel reached RMB507.6 million (US$72.3 million) in the third quarter of 2024, representing a decrease of 8.5% from RMB554.6 million in the second quarter of 2024, and compared to RMB563.2 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the already high penetration of our products and services within the existing customer pool, along with our strategic scale-back of product offerings as we shift our focus to upgrading customer segmentation.
“I’m pleased to report a stable and healthy quarter with concrete business development and strategic exploration, driven by our ‘quality over quantity’ strategy, which underscores our consistent focus on sustainable, high-quality growth.” said Mr. Ning Tang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
“Our financial services business has improved asset quality through strong risk management and borrower optimization. We’ve also made progress in exploring new online business models for our insurance division. As a tech-powered platform, Yiren Digital prioritizes the use of technology and digital capabilities to enhance our business model. Furthermore, our AI investments are driving operational efficiency and enhancing the customer experience. These efforts lay the foundation for higher-quality growth and long-term value for our stakeholders.”
“In the third quarter of this year, our total revenue reached RMB 1.5 billion, up 13% year-over-year.” Mr.Yuning Feng, Chief Financial Officer commented. “On the balance sheet side, as we continued to make strategic long-term investments this quarter, cash and cash equivalents decreased compared to the end of the previous quarter, bringing the total to RMB3.7 billion. Despite this, our cash position remains strong and competitive within the industry. Meanwhile, we are continuing share buybacks and executing cash dividends to enhance returns for our shareholders.”
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Total net revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was RMB1,479.1 million (US$210.8 million), representing an increase of 12.8% from RMB1,310.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. Particularly, in the third quarter of 2024, revenue from financial services business was RMB836.2 million (US$119.2 million), representing an increase of 25.2% from RMB668.0 million in the same period of 2023.The increase was attributed to the persistent and growing demand for our small revolving loan products. Revenue from insurance brokerage business was RMB85.5 million (US$12.2 million), representing a decrease of 67.7% from RMB264.6 million in the third quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a decline in life insurance sales, resulting from product modifications mandated by new regulations, along with an industry-wide reduction in commission fee rates due to the implementation of more stringent regulatory standards on rates and terms. Revenue from consumption and lifestyle business and others was RMB557.4 million (US$79.4 million), representing an increase of 47.4% from RMB378.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. The annual increase was primarily attributed to the continuous growth of the service and product penetration in the expanding base of paying customers. As the penetration rate reached a substantial level in the third quarter of 2024, the growth rate is expected to moderate.
Sales and marketing expenses in the third quarter of 2024 were RMB335.6 million (US$47.8 million), compared to RMB195.7 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by the swift growth of our financial services segment and enhanced marketing endeavors aimed at attracting new, high-caliber customers while optimizing our customer composition.
Origination, servicing and other operating costs in the third quarter of 2024 were RMB205.9million (US$29.3 million), compared to RMB245.4 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the decline in insurance brokerage services.
Research and development expenses in the third quarter of 2024 were RMB150.8 million (US$21.5 million), compared to RMB39.0 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was mainly attributed to our ongoing investment in AI upgrades and technological innovations.
General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2024 were RMB80.1 million (US$11.4 million), compared to RMB53.5 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to increasing incentive bonus and employee benefits.
Allowance for contract assets, receivables and others in the third quarter of 2024 was RMB94.9 million (US$13.5 million), compared to RMB72.7 million in the same period of 2023. The increase reflects the growing volume of loans facilitated on our platform and the stringent risk estimates in response to the evolving external credit environment.
Provision for contingent liabilities in the third quarter of 2024 was RMB272.4 million (US$38.8 million), compared to RMB11.1 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was mainly attributed to a higher volume of loans facilitated under our risk-taking model[1].
Income tax expense in the third quarter of 2024 was RMB44.7 million (US$6.4 million).
Net income in the third quarter of 2024 was RMB355.4 million (US$50.7 million), as compared to RMB554.4 million in the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the growing loan volume facilitated under our risk-taking model, resulting in substantial upfront provisions required by the current accounting principles.
Adjusted EBITDA[2] (non-GAAP) in the third quarter of 2024 was RMB393.9 million (US$56.1 million), compared to RMB692.7 million in the same period of 2023.
Basic and diluted income per ADS in the third quarter of 2024 were RMB4.1 (US$0.6) and RMB4.0 (US$0.6) respectively, compared to a basic income per ADS of RMB6.3 and a diluted income per ADS of RMB6.2 in the same period of 2023.
Net cash generated from operating activities in the third quarter of 2024 was RMB50.4 million (US$7.2 million), compared to RMB645.4 million in the same period of 2023.
Net cash used in investing activities in the third quarter of 2024 was RMB1,859.6 million (US$265.0 million), compared to RMB393.9 million in the same period of 2023.
Net cash used in financing activities in the third quarter of 2024 was RMB22.2 million (US$3.2 million), compared to RMB502.6 million in the same period of 2023.
The changes in cash flows reflect strategic decisions aimed at driving the company’s growth and long-term development. This includes a cash infusion to support broader collaborations with institutional business partners in our financial services division as our loan balance reaches a considerable size, which is reflected in the decline in net cash generated from operating activities. Changes in net cash used in investing and financing activities were driven by investments in potential acquisitions and business expansion, as well as ongoing share repurchases to enhance shareholder value.
As of September 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were RMB3,705.9 million (US$528.1 million), compared to RMB5,496.9 million as of June 30, 2024. The decline is due to our long-term investments in business expansion and potential acquisitions, which are still in the early stages and have not been finalized. As of September 30, 2024, the balance of held-to-maturity investments was RMB5.1 million (US$0.7 million), remained unchanged from June 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the balance of available-for-sale investments was RMB321.6 million (US$45.8 million), compared to RMB329.8 million as of June 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the balance of trading securities was RMB63.3 million (US$9.0 million), compared to RMB83.9 million as of June 30, 2024.
Delinquency rates[3]. As of September 30, 2024, the delinquency rates for loans that are past due for 1-30 days, 31-60 days and 61-90 days were 1.8%, 1.2% and 1.2%, respectively, compared to 1.9%, 1.4% and 1.5%, respectively, as of June 30, 2024.
[1] The risk-taking model refers to the framework in which the company assumes the credit risk for the loans facilitated on our platform.
[2] “Adjusted EBITDA” is a non-GAAP financial measure. For more information on this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the section of “Operating Highlights and Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” and the table captioned “Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA” set forth at the end of this press release.
[3] “Delinquency rates” refers to the outstanding principal balance of loans that were 1-30 days, 31-60 days and 61-90 days past due as a percentage of the total performing outstanding principal balance of loans as of a specific date. Loans originating outside mainland China are not included in the calculation. We define a performing loan as one that is being repaid according to the agreed terms and has not become delinquent for more than 90 days.
Dividend Policy
Under the Company’s semi-annual dividend policy, the Company distributed cash dividends in October 2024, representing a payout ratio of 14% of earnings for the first half of 2024.
Update on Share Repurchase
In the third quarter of 2024, the Company allocated US$3.0 million to repurchase shares in the public market. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had in aggregate purchased approximately 5.0 million ADSs in the open market for a total amount of approximately US$16.5 million (exclusive of commissions) under the 2022 share repurchase program.
Business Outlook
Based on the Company’s preliminary assessment of business and market conditions, the Company projects the total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024 to be between RMB1.3 billion to RMB1.5 billion, with a healthy net profit margin.
This is the Company’s current and preliminary view, which is subject to changes and uncertainties.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses several non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental measures to review and assess operating performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our core operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in our financial and operational decision-making. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. Other companies, including peer companies in the industry, may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as a comparative measure. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance. See “Operating Highlights and Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures” at the end of this press release.
Currency Conversion
This announcement contains currency conversions of certain RMB amounts into US$ at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from RMB to US$ are made at a rate of RMB7.0176 to US$1.00, the effective noon buying rate on September 30, 2024, as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board.
