First Quarter 2022 Financial Results:

Operating revenue decreased from RMB2,944 million in the first quarter of 2021 to RMB1,712 million in the first quarter of 2022. This decrease in operating revenue was due to the decrease in revenues from new consumption-driven, location-based services, technology-driven platform services and credit-driven platform services for the quarter.

Revenue from new consumption-driven, location-based services decreased by 26.2% from RMB432 million in the first quarter of 2021 to RMB319 million in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the lower consumption desired under the impact of the COVID-19.

Revenue from technology-driven platform services decreased by 26.3% from RMB675 million in the first quarter of 2021 to RMB497 million in the first quarter of 2022. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease from profit sharing model service within technology-driven platform services with the decrease of transaction volume in the first quarter of 2022.

Revenue from credit-driven platform services decreased by 51.2% from RMB1,837 million in the first quarter of 2021 to RMB896 million in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented and interest and financial services income and other revenues.

Loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented decreased by 75.9% from RMB1,060 million in the first quarter of 2021 to RMB256 million in the first quarter of 2022. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the nominal APR and an increase of guarantee obligation with the increasing credit risk in the first quarter of 2022, which resulted in the decrease in considerations for revenue from loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented.

Interest and financial services income and other revenues decreased by 28.6% from RMB542 million in the first quarter of 2021 to RMB387 million in the first quarter of 2022, which was consistent with the decrease in the origination of on-balance sheet loans in the first quarter of 2022.

Guarantee income increased by 8.0% from RMB235 million in the first quarter of 2021 to RMB254 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to the increase of loan origination in the first quarter of 2022 and the increase of outstanding balances of the off-balance sheet loans funded by certain institutional funding partners, which are accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees.

Cost of sales decreased by 24.3% from RMB434 million in the first quarter of 2021 to RMB328 million in the first quarter of 2022, which was consistent with the decrease of new consumption-driven revenue.

Funding cost decreased by 27.4% from RMB130 million in the first quarter of 2021 to RMB94.3 million in the first quarter of 2022, which was consistent with the decrease of the interest and financial services income and other revenues.

Processing and servicing cost increased by 16.6% from RMB397 million in the first quarter of 2021 to RMB462 million in the first quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily due to an increase in risk management and collection expenses.

Provision for credit losses of financing and interest receivables was RMB45.5 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to RMB172 million in the first quarter of 2021. The credit losses have reflected the most recent performance in relation to the Company’s on-balance sheet loans and that the Company has continued to implement prudent credit assessment and risk management policies and procedures.

Provision for credit losses of contract assets and receivables decreased by 67.5% from RMB219 million in the first quarter of 2021 to RMB71.2 million in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the balance of contract assets as of March 31, 2022.

Provision for credit losses of contingent liabilities of guarantee increased by 11.7% from RMB224 million in the first quarter of 2021 to RMB250 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to the increase of outstanding balances of the off-balance sheet loans funded by certain institutional funding partners, which are accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees.

Gross profit decreased by 66.3% from RMB1,369 million in the first quarter of 2021 to RMB461 million in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the decrease in revenues from new consumption-driven, location-based services, technology-driven platform services and credit-driven platform services, and the increase in processing and servicing cost and provision for credit losses of contingent liabilities of guarantee, and partially offset by the decrease in funding cost, cost of sales, provision for credit losses of financing and interest receivables and provision for credit losses of contract assets and receivables.

Sales and marketing expenses remained stable from RMB346 million in the first quarter of 2021 to RMB360 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Research and development expenses increased by 22.8% from RMB124 million in the first quarter of 2021 to RMB153 million in the first quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries and personnel related costs.

General and administrative expenses decreased by 10.8% from RMB131 million in the first quarter of 2021 to RMB117 million in the first quarter of 2022. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and personnel related costs.

Change in fair value of financial guarantee derivatives and loans at fair value was a gain of RMB263 million in the first quarter of 2022, as compared to a gain of RMB75.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. The change in fair value was primarily due to the fair value gains realized as result of the release of guarantee obligation along with the decrease in the balances of the underlying outstanding off-balance sheet loans as of March 31, 2022, partially offset by the fair value losses as result of the increase of expected loss rates as of March 31, 2022.

Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2022 was RMB19.4 million, as compared to income tax expense of RMB131 million in the first quarter of 2021. The decrease of the income tax expense was consistent with the decrease of the taxable income in the first quarter of 2022 from the same period of 2021.

Net income for the first quarter of 2022 was RMB81.5 million, representing a decrease of 88.5% from RMB711 million in the first quarter of 2021.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement

In evaluating our business, we consider and use adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, non-GAAP EBIT, adjusted net income per ordinary share and per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, four non-GAAP measures, as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of the 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 U.S. GAAP. We define adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company as net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company excluding share-based compensation expenses, interest expense associated with convertible notes, and investment (loss)/income and we define non-GAAP EBIT as net income excluding income tax expense, share-based compensation expenses, interest expense, net, and investment (loss)/income .

We present these non-GAAP financial measures because it is used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. Adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company enables our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses, interest expense associated with convertible notes, and investment (loss)/income. Non-GAAP EBIT, on the other hand, enables our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of income tax expense, share-based compensation expenses, interest expense, net, and investment (loss)/income. We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures 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 an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company and non-GAAP EBIT is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect our operations. Share-based compensation expenses, interest expense associated with convertible notes, income tax expense, interest expense, net, and investment (loss)/income have been and may continue to be incurred in our business and are not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company and non-GAAP EBIT. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP financial information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

We compensate for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, 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.

__________________________

(1) Starting from the first quarter of 2022, we report our revenue streams in three categories - new consumption-driven, location-based services, technology-driven platform services, and credit-driven platform services, to provide more relevant and updated information. We also revised the revenue presentation in comparative periods to conform to the current classification.

In providing new consumption-driven, location-based services, we provide platform and services for merchants, shopping malls, and brands to conduct sales and marketing, with the goal to drive transaction volume, for which we charge a service fee. Revenue earned from the online direct sales and services is recognized under new consumption-driven, location-based services, which was previously reported as “Online direct sales” and “Other services” within “Online direct sales and services income” before the change of presentation.

In providing technology-driven platform services, we offer a comprehensive set of services to our customers that enable them to increase revenues, manage financial risks, improve operating efficiency, improve service quality, enhance collections, and reduce overall costs. Revenue earned from platform-based services, membership services and other services is reported as one combined financial statement line item under “Technology-driven platform services.” The membership fees and other services revenue were previously reported as “Membership services” and “Other services” within “Online direct sales and services income” before the change of presentation.

The revenue earned from credit-oriented services is recognized under credit-driven platform services, which includes "Loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented," "Interest and financial services income and other revenues," and "Guarantee income."
