Insights

LexinFintech's Q2 2024 results show a mixed performance. While total operating revenue increased by 19.1% year-over-year to RMB 3.6 billion, net income decreased by 36.3% to RMB 227 million. The company's loan origination volume dropped 20.1% year-over-year, indicating a cautious approach in a challenging market.

The improved revenue take rate despite controlled loan origination is noteworthy, driven by better risk performance and record-low funding costs. The 24.9% increase in credit facilitation service income and 36.5% growth in tech-empowerment service income are positive indicators. However, the rise in provision for contingent guarantee liabilities to RMB 935 million is concerning, suggesting potential asset quality issues.

The declaration of a semi-annual dividend of US$0.072 per ADS demonstrates confidence in the company's financial position. Investors should monitor the company's risk metrics and overseas expansion efforts closely in the coming quarters.

LexinFintech's Q2 2024 results reveal mixed signals in risk performance. The 90-day+ delinquency ratio increased to 3.7% from 3.0% in the previous quarter, indicating potential asset quality deterioration. However, the first payment default rate for new loan originations remained below 1%, suggesting improved underwriting for new loans.

The increase in provisions across financing receivables, contract assets and contingent guarantee liabilities points to growing credit risks. The RMB 935 million provision for contingent guarantee liabilities is particularly concerning, up significantly from the previous year.

On a positive note, the company's proactive control on loan origination and focus on risk management capability improvement show prudent risk management. The early signs of improvement in risk metrics extending into August are encouraging. Investors should closely monitor these trends and the company's ability to maintain asset quality in a challenging economic environment.

LexinFintech's Q2 2024 results reflect the challenging consumer environment in China. The 16.4% decrease in active users and 20.1% drop in loan originations indicate softening demand and increased caution among consumers. This aligns with the broader economic slowdown and regulatory tightening in China's fintech sector.

However, the company's overseas expansion presents a promising growth avenue. While still small in scale, the rapid growth in international operations outpacing domestic business is noteworthy. This diversification strategy could help mitigate risks associated with the Chinese market.

The 37.2% decrease in GMV for the installment e-commerce platform service suggests challenges in the e-commerce segment. However, the high business customer retention rate (90%+) for tech-empowerment services indicates strong B2B potential. Investors should watch how LexinFintech balances its consumer-facing and B2B offerings in response to market conditions.

SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. (“Lexin” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LX), a leading technology-empowered personal financial service enabler in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

"We harvested a healthy set of operational and financial results with improved risk performance for new loans, uplifted net profit from the first quarter of 2024, and controlled loan origination in the second quarter of 2024," said Jay Wenjie Xiao, Chairman and CEO of Lexin. "Total loan origination for the second quarter reached RMB 51.1 billion, a 12% decline quarter-over-quarter. Nevertheless, both total operating revenue and net profit grew by 12% compared to the first quarter of 2024, this was despite continued soft consumer demand and a weak credit environment."

"Attributing to our persistent efforts to uphold our key strategies, we achieved several milestones during past quarter, including a rapid growth in our overseas business, a new record-low funding cost, and positive signs of overall risk performance improvement."

"By leveraging Lexin's over a decade of experience in the domestic fintech market and quickly replicating our business model overseas, we saw an accelerated growth in our international operations, far outpacing our domestic business in the second quarter. Although the current scale of our overseas business is still small, we will continue to invest and sharpen our focus abroad."

"Despite quarterly fluctuations in some risk performance indicators, more risk metrics showed early signs of improvement that extended into August. This was due to the proactive control on loan origination and substantial risk management capability improvement over the past quarters."

"Additionally, our funding cost hit a historical low with a significant quarterly drop compared to the previous quarter. This improvement in funding cost effectively boosted our profitability compared to the first quarter of 2024."

"Looking ahead to the remainder of 2024, we remain confident in navigating challenges and seizing opportunities in both Chinese and overseas markets, positioning ourselves for sustainable growth in a cautious consumer environment. We are committed to returning sustainable value to shareholders and have declared a cash dividend payout of US$0.072 per ADS for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, representing roughly 20% of total net income, continuing our consistent capital return program," Mr. Xiao continued.

Mr. James Zheng, Chief Financial Officer of Lexin, added, "The second quarter's total operating revenue reached RMB 3.6 billion, showing a 19.1% year-over-year increase and a 12.3% quarter-over-quarter increase. Net profit for the second quarter reached RMB 227 million, a 12.4% increase from the previous quarter. This significant revenue rise was achieved despite a controlled loan origination volume, demonstrating a substantial expansion of our revenue take rate. This increase was primarily driven by improved risk performance of newly issued assets and a record-low funding cost. Furthermore, we resumed ABS issuance in May and completed the second ABS in July, with the senior tranche funding cost as low as 2.80%. Additional factors such as a slight improvement in the early repayment ratio and an increased revenue split ratio in our profit-sharing model, also bolstered our resilient financial results in the second quarter."

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results:

Operating revenue increased by 19.1% from RMB3,056 million in the second quarter of 2023 to RMB3,641 million in the second quarter of 2024.

Credit facilitation service income increased by 24.9% from RMB2,138 million in the second quarter of 2023 to RMB2,669 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was driven by the increases in loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented and guarantee income, partially offset by the decrease in financing income.

Loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented increased by 51.5% from RMB946 million in the second quarter of 2023 to RMB1,433 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to the better control over the early repayment behaviors.

Guarantee income increased by 17.0% from RMB618 million in the second quarter of 2023 to RMB722 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the increase of outstanding balances in the off-balance sheet loans funded by certain institutional funding partners, which are accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees

Financing income decreased by 10.6% from RMB574 million in the second quarter of 2023 to RMB513 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the origination of on-balance sheet loans.

Tech-empowerment service income increased by 36.5% from RMB392 million in the second quarter of 2023 to RMB535 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to the increase of loan facilitation volume under the profit-sharing model.

Installment e-commerce platform service income decreased by 17.0% from RMB526 million in the second quarter of 2023 to RMB437 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in transaction volume in the second quarter of 2024.

Cost of sales decreased by 9.1% from RMB465 million in the second quarter of 2023 to RMB423 million in the second quarter of 2024, which was consistent with the decrease in installment e-commerce platform service income.

Funding cost decreased by 41.8% from RMB156 million in the second quarter of 2023 to RMB90.5 million in the second quarter of 2024, which was primarily driven by the decrease in the cost of funding and funding debts to fund the on-balance sheet loans.

Processing and servicing costs increased by 16.3% from RMB446 million in the second quarter of 2023 to RMB519 million in the second quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in risk management and collection expenses.

Provision for financing receivables was RMB171 million for the second quarter of 2024, as compared to RMB146 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the decrease in performance of the on-balance sheet loans.

Provision for contract assets and receivables was RMB155 million in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to RMB125 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the increase in loan facilitation and servicing fees and the decrease in performance of the off-balance sheet loans.

Provision for contingent guarantee liabilities was RMB935 million in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to RMB722 million in the second quarter of 2023. 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, as well as the decrease in performance of the off-balance sheet loans.

Gross profit increased by 35.4% from RMB995 million in the second quarter of 2023 to RMB1,348 million in the second quarter of 2024.

Sales and marketing expenses was RMB467 million in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to RMB453 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Research and development expenses was RMB143 million in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to RMB121 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased investment in technology development.

General and administrative expenses RMB100 million in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to RMB96.5 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Change in fair value of financial guarantee derivatives and loans at fair value was a loss of RMB368 million in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to a gain of RMB130 million in the second quarter of 2023. The change in fair value was primarily due to the re-measurement of the expected loss rates, partially offset by the fair value gains realized as a result of the release of guarantee obligation.

Income tax expense is RMB60.0 million in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to RMB80.8 million in the second quarter of 2023. The change was primarily due to the decrease of income before income tax expense.

Net income decreased by 36.3% from RMB356 million in the second quarter of 2023 to RMB227 million in the second quarter of 2024.

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 income/(loss) and we define non-GAAP EBIT as net income excluding income tax expense, share-based compensation expenses, interest expense, net, and investment income/(loss).

We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are 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 income/(loss). 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 income/(loss). 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 income/(loss) 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 each of the non-GAAP financial measures 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.
