Mr. Bin Zhai, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CNFinance, commented, "During the second quarter of 2022, we maintained stable business operations despite regional city lockdowns due to pandemic prevention and control measures. We originated loans of RMB3.1 billion under our collaboration with trust companies and introduced loans of RMB200 million to the commercial bank partners. In light of the strict local measures implemented to contain the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the uncertainties associated with China's real estate industry, we also recorded a provision for credit losses accordingly.

Going forward, we are likely to be continuously challenged by economic fluctuations. On the other hand, however, we are confident that as China's economic growth starts to recover, and more supportive policies toward MSEs take effect, we are presented with vast business opportunities. In order to serve more MSE owners and fulfill our mission to provide accessible, affordable and efficient financing solutions to micro- and small-enterprise owners in China, we will strive to expand our sales channels, diversify our product portfolio, reduce our funding costs, and improve post-loan management efficiency to help sales partners expand their business scale."  

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Total interest and fees income decreased by 9.1% to RMB410.6 million (US$61.3 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB451.5 million in the same period of 2021.

Interest and financing service fees on loans decreased by 9.1% to RMB408.1 million(US$60.9million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB448.8 million in the same period of 2021, primarily due to the decrease of average daily outstanding loan principal in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period of 2021. The decrease in average daily outstanding loan principal was due to the lower loan facilitation volume in the second quarter of 2022 resulted from the lockdowns due to local outbreaks of COVID-19 in multiple cities within China.

Interest on deposits with banks decreased by 7.4% to RMB2.5 million (US$0.4 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB2.7 million in the same period of 2021, primarily due to smaller average daily balances of time deposits.

Interest and fees expenses decreased by 3.9% to RMB187.3 million (US$28.0 million) for the second quarter of 2022, compared to RMB195.0 million in the same period of 2021, primarily due to the decrease of principals of other borrowings.

Net interest and fees income was RMB223.3 million (US$33.3 million) for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of 12.9% from RMB256.5 million in the same period of 2021.

Collaboration cost for sales partners decreased by 28.2% to RMB76.6 million (US$11.4 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB106.7 million in the same period of 2021, primarily attributable to the lower fee rate the Company paid to the sales partners in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period of 2021, resulted from the lower average effective interest rates of outstanding loans.

Net interest and fees income after collaboration cost was RMB146.7 million (US$21.9 million) for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of 2.1% from RMB149.8 million in the same period of 2021.

Provision for credit losses increased by 439.5% to RMB79.3 million (US$11.8 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB14.7 million in the same period of 2021. The increase was due to the increasing economic uncertainties caused by lockdowns in reaction to local outbreaks of COVID-19 as well as the downward pressure faced by China's real estate market during the second quarter of 2022.

Net gains on sales of loans increased by 98.3% to RMB23.6 million (US$3.5 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB11.9 million in the same period of 2021 resulted from the increase of instalment payments fully made by sales partners who signed agreements to repurchase delinquent loans by instalments.

Taxes and surcharges increased by 7.1% to RMB9.0 million (US$1.3 million) for the second quarter of 2022 from RMB8.4 million for the same period of 2021, primarily attributable to an increase in the non-deductible value added tax ("VAT").
