For more information on non-GAAP financial measure, please see the section of "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement" and the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this press release. |
[2] Each American depositary share ("ADS") represents six Class A ordinary shares. On November 19, 2020, a ratio change that has the same effect as a 1-for-3 reverse ADS split took effect, and as a result, one ADS currently represents six Class A ordinary shares. |
[3] Represents the total amount of loans that X Financial facilitated and provided during the relevant period. |
[4] Xiaoying Credit Loan is a category of online personal credit loan products facilitated and provided through our platform, including Xiaoying Card Loan and other unsecured loan products we introduce from time to time. |
[5] Represents the total amount of loans outstanding for loans X Financial facilitated and provided at the end of the relevant period. Loans that are delinquent for more than 60 days are charged-off and are excluded in the outstanding loan balance, except for Xiaoying Housing Loan. As Xiaoying Housing Loan is a secured loan product and the Company is entitled to payment by exercising its rights to the collateral, the Company does not exclude Xiaoying Housing loan delinquent for more 60 days in the outstanding loan balance. |

Xiaoying Housing Loan was launched in 2015 and ceased in 2019, and all the outstanding loan balance of housing loan as of March 31, 2021, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022 were overdue more than 60 days.

Mr. Justin Tang, the Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company, commented, "We are pleased to start 2022 with a solid performance for the first quarter, despite of multiple challenges from the resurgence of COVID-19 and the economic slowdown in China. The total loan amount facilitated and provided in the first quarter increased on both a yearly and quarterly basis. We also saw our asset quality remained stable during the quarter. However, given the uncertainties of the macro environment, we are cautious about the business outlook for the coming quarters. We will continue to closely monitor the market dynamics, and stay vigilant to any inefficiencies and issues related to the pandemic in China."
"On the regulatory side, the Chinese government recently highlighted the importance of promoting the healthy development of the platform economy in China. We believe a more visible market with clear and standardized regulations will benefit all the market participants, including us. We fully comply with and support the government's initiatives and policies to promote the long-term development of the industry. We have laid a strong foundation and are very confident of our expertise to capture growth opportunities amid a healthy regulatory environment."
"Recently, we were included in the list for the first year under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the "HFCAA"), which allows the U.S. regulator to delist companies if they fail to comply with American audit standards for three consecutive years. According to the Foreign Ministry of China, the Chinese securities regulator has already been in communication with U.S. regulators in this regard. Whether these companies will be delisted or not from the U.S. Stock Exchanges depends on the progress and results of the China-U.S. audit supervision cooperation. We hope and look forward to the two governments reaching an agreement in the near future. In the meantime, we have been proactively exploring possible solutions to protect the interest of our stakeholders and maintain our listing status on the New York Stock Exchange."
Mr. Kent Li, President of the Company, added, "During the first quarter, our total loan amount facilitated and provided reached RMB15 billion, up
"In the meantime, we have been actively working with various partners to jointly explore new opportunities in the personal financing market. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we became an indirect minority shareholder of the Newup Bank of Liaoning("Newup Bank"). Since the second quarter of 2022, we have started to provide loan facilitation services to Newup Bank. Now we are in active discussions with Newup Bank to jointly design and develop products and programs that cater to the financing needs of small and micro-businesses, in line with the government's call to support the development of small and medium enterprises in China. We look forward to deepening our cooperation with Newup Bank by leveraging our extensive experience in the personal financing market, and our capabilities in cutting-edge and tech-driven risk control and assessments. We believe helping licensed financial institutions to grow their business will benefit both parties in the long term."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement
In evaluating our business, we consider and use non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. We present the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We believe that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors' assessment of our operating performance and help investors to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain income or expenses that we include in income (loss) from operations and net income (loss). We also believe that the non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our core 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.
We use in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) adjusted net income, (ii) adjusted net income per basic ADS, and (iii) adjusted net income per diluted ADS, each of which excludes income (loss) from financial investments and share-based compensation expense. 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 analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
We mitigate these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, 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.
For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results" set forth at the end of this press release.
