As asset quality improved, we further intensified our borrower acquisition efforts, which have yielded very positive results. Both the top and bottom lines continued to grow year-over-year. Non-GAAP adjusted net income reached a new record high.”
“Specifically on the operational front, our total loan amount facilitated and originated was down 4% year-on-year but up 25% sequentially to RMB28 billion, above the high end of our guidance.

“In September this year, the Chinese government unveiled a comprehensive stimulus package aimed at improving liquidity, boosting the property market, stabilizing financial markets and stimulating consumption. We expect this will provide a meaningful boost to the macroeconomic recovery. As an integral part of the economy, the personal finance market we serve should benefit from this upturn. We have already observed positive signs in the market and are committed to adjusting loan volumes in line with risk levels. As a result of this favorable environment, we are raising our guidance and expect our monthly loan volume to exceed RMB10 billion in the fourth quarter, setting a new record.”
Mr. Frank Fuya Zheng, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, added, “I’m pleased to report that our strategy of balancing business growth and profitability continued to pay off. Total net revenue was RMB1.6 billion, up 13% year-on-year and 15% sequentially, while non-GAAP adjusted net income reached a record high of RMB434 million, up 16% year-on-year and sequentially. As we continue to deliver strong profitability and execute on our proven strategy, we have full confidence in our future. We will continue to execute our semi-annual dividend policy and explore opportunities under our share repurchase program to return more value to our shareholders over the long term.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement
In evaluating our business, we consider and use non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. We present the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We believe that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance and help investors to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain income or expenses that we include in income (loss) from operations and net income (loss). We also believe that the non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our core 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.
We use in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) adjusted net income (loss), (ii) adjusted net income (loss) per basic ADS, (iii) adjusted net income (loss) per diluted ADS, (iv) adjusted net income per basic share, and (v) adjusted net income per diluted share, each of which excludes share-based compensation expense, impairment losses on financial investments, income (loss) from financial investments and impairment losses on long-term investments. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
We mitigate these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, which should be considered when evaluating our performance. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results” set forth at the end of this press release.

[1] Starting in the first quarter of 2024, management has concluded to separate expenses related to borrower acquisitions from origination and servicing expenses and indirect expenses of the borrower acquisitions from general and administrative
expenses to a single line item as theses expenses become more and more significant and thus deemed to be useful to financial statement users. Furtherly, management has determined to embed the sales and marketing expenses, which is not
considered as material, in other line item. In conclusion, management has decided to combine these two line items into one captioned borrower acquisitions and marketing expenses. Management has correspondingly conformed prior period
presentation to current period presentation to enhance comparability. This change in presentation does not affect any subtotal line on the face of consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Globe Telecom Builds on Long-Term Partnership with Vectra AI to Strengthen its Security Operations
Published
15 minutes agoon
November 27, 2024By
SINGAPORE, Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Vectra AI, Inc., the leader in AI-driven XDR (extended detection and response) today announced the extension of its long-term partnership with Globe Telecom, the largest mobile network provider in the Philippines. This collaboration aims to bolster Globe Telecom’s cybersecurity operations across its network. Key improvements from this partnership have enabled Globe Telecom to reduce alert noise by 99% and significantly enhance its security posture, ensuring reliable services for over 80 million customers.
Leveraging Vectra AI’s solutions, Globe Telecom has cleared a fog of cyber threats across its extensive infrastructure within a year. The integration of AI-powered Attack Signal Intelligence™ provided detailed insights previously missed across its broader network, while the Network Detection and Response combined with CrowdStrike’s EDR offered complete visibility across both network and end-point activities.
After implementing Vectra AI’s solutions, Globe’s incident response time decreased to 3.5 hours, with a 99% reduction in noise and escalations.
Anton Bonifacio, Chief Information Security and Chief AI Officer at Globe Telecom, explains, “With Vectra in place, the light started to turn on. Its automation and filtering capabilities allowed us to focus on the most important threats, which made our team more efficient and effective in our response.”
With a clearer understanding of their network activity, Globe Telecom’s security team was able to maintain tighter control over their environment. Additionally, having a comprehensive view of east-west traffic and lateral movement allowed them to uncover hidden threats before any damage could occur.
Aylwin Lam, Regional Director for Vectra AI Asia, comments, “Ultimately, for security decision makers today, it’s about focusing on what’s urgent, by having the best view possible of the entire infrastructure and subsequent threats, assessed by severity and impact.”
As an extra layer of defence, Vectra’s MDR (Managed Detection and Response) service provided round-the-clock support, offering continuous alert management, threat hunting and expert analysis. With additional eyes on their network, Vectra MDR secured the frontline — enabling the Globe Telecom team to concentrate on high-priority alerts that demand immediate action.
“The MDR aspect was a key differentiator for us. Vectra’s MDR team and their threat-hunting expertise have been invaluable in helping us secure our environment,” Bonifacio said.
A recent Vectra AI report revealed that 73% of APAC security practitioners believe their organisations may have been compromised without their knowledge due to alert overload. Additionally, there is a growing disconnect between SOC practitioners and security vendors, with many (45%) expressing dissatisfaction with their current tools.
As for Globe Telecom, Bonifacio underscores the value of this collaboration, stating, “One thing that truly stands out about Vectra AI is the strong relationship we’ve built. They’ve always been a supportive partner, even during challenging times, and we really appreciate that.”
Lam concludes, “Vectra AI is proud to provide real-time visibility and MDR services to Globe Telecom, helping to eliminate threats and maintain reliable services for their 80 million customers.”
