Positive
  • None.
Negative
  • Total income decreased by 31% YoY.
  • Net loss of RMB725 million compared to net profit of RMB131 million in Q3 2023.
  • Credit impairment losses increased by 9% YoY.

  • Cash at bank decreased to RMB27,039 million from RMB39,599 million as of December 31, 2023.

Insights

Lufax's Q3 2024 results reveal significant challenges, with total income declining 31.1% year-over-year to RMB5,543 million. The company swung to a net loss of RMB725 million, compared to a profit in the same period last year. This downturn is primarily driven by:

  • A 49.9% decrease in technology platform-based income due to lower loan balances and exit from the Lujintong business
  • An 18.8% drop in net interest income, partially offset by growth in consumer finance
  • A 41.8% decrease in total outstanding loan balance to RMB213.1 billion

Despite these challenges, there are some positive indicators:

  • Consumer finance loans grew 28.7% year-over-year
  • The company's take rate improved to 9.7% from 7.8% last year
  • Asset quality remains stable with a C-M3 flow rate of 0.9%

Lufax is adopting a cautious approach, focusing on operational refinements and risk management. The shift towards consumer finance and non-SBO customers could help diversify revenue streams, but the overall outlook remains challenging given the weak demand in its core Puhui loan business.

Lufax's Q3 results highlight the ongoing challenges in China's small business lending sector. Key market trends include:

  • Weak demand from small business owners (SBOs), indicating continued economic pressure on this segment
  • Shift towards consumer finance, with new consumer loans growing 27.8% YoY and now comprising 52% of total new loan sales
  • Increased risk-bearing by Lufax, now at 64.2% of outstanding balance, up from 31.8% last year

The company's strategic pivot towards non-SBO customers and consumer finance reflects a broader market trend of diversification in the face of economic headwinds. However, this shift may also indicate a structural change in the small business lending landscape, potentially impacting long-term growth prospects for companies heavily reliant on this sector.

Lufax's cautious approach and focus on risk management align with the current market sentiment, but may limit short-term growth opportunities. The effectiveness of recent stimulus policies in reviving SBO demand will be important for the company's future performance in its traditional core business.

[1] The take rate of retail credit enablement business is calculated by dividing the aggregated amount of loan enablement service fees, post-origination service fees, net interest income (excluding revenue from PAObank and LUAN credit subsidiaries), guarantee income and the penalty fees and account management fees by the average outstanding balance of loans enabled for each period.

[2] C-M3 flow rate estimates the percentage of current loans that will become non-performing at the end of three months, and is defined as the product of (i) the loan balance that is overdue from 1 to 29 days as a percentage of the total current loan balance of the previous month, (ii) the loan balance that is overdue from 30 to 59 days as a percentage of the loan balance that was overdue from 1 to 29 days in the previous month, and (iii) the loan balance that is overdue from 60 to 89 days as a percentage of the loan balance that was overdue from 30 days to 59 days in the previous month. Loans from legacy products, consumer finance subsidiary, PAObank and LUAN credit subsidiaries are excluded from the flow rate calculation.

[3] DPD 30+ delinquency rate refers to the outstanding balance of loans for which any payment is 30 to 179 calendar days past due divided by the outstanding balance of loans. Loans from legacy products, consumer finance subsidiary, PAObank and LUAN credit subsidiaries are excluded from the calculation.

[4] DPD 90+ delinquency rate refers to the outstanding balance of loans for which any payment is 90 to 179 calendar days past due divided by the outstanding balance of loans. Loans from legacy products, consumer finance subsidiary, PAObank and LUAN credit subsidiaries are excluded from the calculation.

[5] Non-performing loan ratio for consumer finance loans is calculated by using the outstanding balance of consumer finance loans for which any payment is 91 or more calendar days past due and not written off, and certain restructured loans, divided by the outstanding balance of consumer finance loans.

Mr. YongSuk Cho, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lufax, commented, "During the third quarter, while Puhui loan demand remained weak, our consumer finance business continued to grow and delivered a solid performance. We maintained stable asset quality, with the C-M3 flow rate of our Puhui loans remaining steady despite declining balances, while our consumer finance NPL ratio continued to improve. As we anticipate it will take time for small business owners to benefit from recent stimulus policies enacted in late September, we are maintaining a cautious and diligent approach to our business strategies. In the meantime, we will place additional emphasis on non-SBO customers and continue to develop our consumer finance business. This balanced approach, combined with our ongoing risk management efforts, positions us well to navigate the evolving landscape while supporting the financial needs of both SBO and non-SBO customers in China's dynamic economy."

Mr. Gregory Gibb, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Lufax, commented, "Our continued focus on operational refinements has yielded solid results. By maintaining a prudent approach to credit standards, our C-M3 flow rate of Puhui loans stabilized at 0.9% and the NPL ratio for consumer finance loans further decreased to 1.2%. Meanwhile, the ongoing rollout of our 100% guarantee model for Puhui loans has had a favorable impact on the take rate of our outstanding balance, which reached 9.7% this quarter. In addition, our consumer finance business demonstrated continuous growth, with a 27.8% year-over-year increase in new loan sales, comprising 52% of total new loan sales in the quarter. As we strive for sustainable long-term growth, our vigilant approach and continued operational enhancements will remain essential."

Mr. Alston Peiqing Zhu, Chief Financial Officer of Lufax, commented, "During the third quarter, our two main operating entities maintained their solid capital positions. Our guarantee subsidiary's leverage ratio stood at 2.6x, well within the 10x regulatory limit. At the same time, our consumer finance subsidiary had a healthy 14.9% capital adequacy ratio, as compared to the 10.5% regulatory requirement. We remain committed to our prudent strategy as we seek to improve our market position and drive success for our business and our shareholders."

  • Technology platform-based income was RMB1,633 million (US$233 million) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to RMB3,259 million in the same period of 2023, representing a decrease of 49.9%, due to 1) the decrease of retail credit service fees as a result of the decrease in loan balance and 2) the decrease of referral and other technology platform-based income due to the Company's exit from the Lujintong[6] business that it had previously conducted.
  • Net interest income was RMB2,687 million (US$383 million) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to RMB3,307 million in the same period of 2023, representing a decrease of 18.8%, mainly due to the decrease in loan balance, partially offset by the increase of net interest income from the Company's consumer finance business.
  • Guarantee income was RMB818 million (US$117 million) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to RMB941 million in the same period of 2023, representing a decrease of 13.1%, primarily due to a lower average fee rate.
  • Other income was RMB333 million (US$47 million) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to other income of RMB291 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was mainly due to the increased account management fees driven by improved collection performance.
  • Investment income was RMB73 million (US$10 million) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to RMB253 million in the same period of 2023, mainly due to the increased losses associated with certain investment assets.

[6] Lujintong was a platform the company launched in 2019, aiming to help its financial institution partners to acquire borrowers directly through dispersed sourcing nationwide. The company downscaled the operations of Lujintong in 2023 and ceased its operation by the end of April 2024.

TOTAL EXPENSES

Total expenses decreased by 19% to RMB6,262 million (US$892 million) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB7,747 million in the same period of 2023. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in sales and marketing expenses by 50% to RMB1,148 million (US$164 million) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB2,290 million in the same period of 2023. Total expenses excluding credit impairment losses, finance costs and other (gains)/losses decreased by 36% to RMB2,982 million (US$425 million) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB4,650 million in the same period of 2023.

  • Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 49.9% to RMB1,148 million (US$164 million) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB2,290 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was mainly due to 1) decreased loan-related expenses as a result of the decrease in loan balance and 2) decreased retention expenses and referral expenses from platform service attributable to the Company's exit from the Lujintong business that it had previously conducted.
  • General and administrative expenses decreased by 6.4% to RMB468 million (US$67 million) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB500 million in the same period of 2023, mainly due to our efforts to streamline operations and the decrease of tax and surcharge.
  • Operation and servicing expenses decreased by 25.8% to RMB1,096 million (US$156 million) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB1,478 million in the same period of 2023, due to the Company's expense control measures and the contraction in our loan balance, partially offset by increased commissions associated with improved collection performance.
  • Technology and analytics expenses decreased by 29.2% to RMB271 million (US$39 million) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB382 million in the same period of 2023, primarily due to the Company's expense control measures.
  • Credit impairment losses increased by 9.0% to RMB3,270 million (US$466 million) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB3,001 million in the same period of 2023, mainly due to increased provision related to loans and certain investment assets.
  • Finance costs increased by 48.9% to RMB59 million (US$8 million) in the third quarter of 2024 from RMB40 million in the same period of 2023, mainly due to the decrease of interest income from bank deposits, partially offset by the decrease of interest expenses as a result of our repayment of our C-Round Convertible Promissory Notes upon their maturity on September 30, 2023.
  • Other gains were RMB50 million (US$7 million) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to other losses of RMB56 million in the same period of 2023, mainly due to the increase of government subsidies.

NET LOSS

Net loss was RMB725 million (US$103 million) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to a net profit of RMB131 million in the same period of 2023, as a result of the aforementioned factors.

LOSS PER ADS

Basic and diluted loss per American Depositary Share ("ADS") were both RMB1.12 (US$0.16) in the third quarter of 2024. Each one ADS represents two ordinary shares.

BALANCE SHEET

The Company had RMB27,039 million (US$3,853 million) in cash at bank as of September 30, 2024, as compared to RMB39,599 million as of December 31, 2023.
