Mr. Haisheng Wu, Chief Executive Officer and Director of 360 DigiTech, commented, “We have experienced one of the most volatile periods of time in our corporate history in terms of macro uncertainties during this quarter as surges of COVID-19 cases added significant challenges on our operations. Yet we managed to deliver another solid quarter and achieved our full year operational and financial targets. For the year, the total loan facilitation and origination volume was RMB412.4 billion, up approximately
In 2022, we significantly optimized our user base aiming for lower overall credit risks and higher user retention. Such process allowed us to continue improving risk metrics in an otherwise difficult macro environment. With the optimization, we were able to offer better priced products to satisfy users’ demand and regulatory requirements. Furthermore, we continued to expand our partnership with larger financial institutions throughout 2022. With ample liquidity in the financial system, we meaningfully lowered overall funding costs in 2022.
On the regulatory front, we have substantially completed rectification measures to our operations in 2022 and the regulators’ focus was shifted toward regular supervision from rectification. With the social and economic reopening post COVID-19, we note policy makers’ recent comments regarding a recovery driven by consumption, which is expected to provide extra support to the consumer credit market. We are also pleased to see continued supportive statements for platform economy and private enterprises by various government officials. In 2023, we expect to re-focus ourselves on business expansion and technology innovation.”
“We are pleased to report another quarter of solid financial results in a difficult macro environment. Total revenue was RMB3.91 billion and non-GAAP net income was RMB919 million for the fourth quarter, which brought full year non-GAAP net income to RMB4.21 billion,” Mr. Alex Xu, Chief Financial Officer, commented. “During the fourth quarter and throughout 2022, economic activities were significantly impacted by COVID-19 outbreaks and restrictions. Under such macro backdrop, we continued to take a prudent approach to manage our business growth and risks. At the end of 2022, our total cash and cash equivalent*13 was approximately RMB10.9 billion, and we generated approximately RMB1.8 billion cash from operations. As our strong financial positions further strengthen our capability to navigate through difficult times, we also look forward to deploying our resources to drive additional growth in an economic recovery.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement
To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measure, which is adjusted from results based on U.S. GAAP to exclude share-based compensation expenses. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to our U.S. GAAP financial measures are set forth in tables at the end of this earnings release, which provide more details on the non-GAAP financial measures.
We use non-GAAP income from operation, non-GAAP operation margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income margin, Non-GAAP net income attributed to the Company and Non-GAAP net income per fully diluted ADS in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Non-GAAP income from operation represents income from operation excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP net income represents net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP net income attributed to the Company represents net income attributed to the Company excluding share-based compensation expenses and non-GAAP net income per fully diluted ADS represents net income per fully diluted ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses. Such adjustments have no impact on income tax. We believe that non-GAAP income from operation and non-GAAP net income help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that we include in results based on U.S. GAAP. We believe that non-GAAP income from operation and non-GAAP net income provide useful information about our 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. Our non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP results. In addition, our calculation of non-GAAP financial information may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.
