Insights

Yiren Digital's financial results for the first quarter of 2024 present a mixed yet generally positive picture for investors. The company's total net revenue increased by 39.7% year-over-year, reaching RMB 1,378.1 million (US$190.9 million). This significant growth is largely driven by the financial services business, which saw a 52.5% increase, thanks to sustained demand for revolving loan products.

However, a notable area of concern is the insurance brokerage business, which experienced a revenue decrease of 36.4%. This decline is attributed to regulatory changes affecting life insurance product sales. While the company's overall revenue growth is robust, this segment's underperformance could indicate potential risks if similar regulatory hurdles occur in other business areas.

On the expense side, sales and marketing expenses have markedly increased to RMB 277.2 million (US$38.4 million), reflecting intensified marketing activities aimed at attracting higher-quality customers. Despite the increase in marketing spending, the company has managed to maintain a healthy profitability, with a net income of RMB 485.9 million (US$67.3 million).

Another positive indicator is the company's strong cash position, ending the quarter with RMB 5,904.0 million (US$817.7 million) in cash and equivalents. This suggests solid liquidity and the capability to invest further in growth initiatives or weather potential market uncertainties.

For retail investors, it is essential to monitor the company's balance between aggressive marketing and maintaining profitability. Additionally, the impact of regulatory changes on different business segments should be closely watched, as they can significantly affect revenue streams.

Yiren Digital's market performance reflects its strategic emphasis on leveraging AI to drive growth. The company's AI Lab initiative, which is currently in its early stages, underscores its commitment to integrating AI across operations. This phased approach to AI adoption—starting from empowering existing business functions to eventually exploring future commercialization—could potentially lead to innovative products and enhanced operational efficiency.

The company's approach to AI is methodical, aiming to strengthen competitive advantages developed over the past decade rather than pivoting abruptly. For retail investors, this signifies that the firm is not only focused on short-term gains but is also laying the groundwork for sustainable, long-term growth.

Furthermore, the company's investment in the consumption and lifestyle segment is notable. Although there's a seasonal dip in gross merchandise volume, the overall 68.3% year-on-year growth to RMB 515.0 million (US$71.3 million) suggests expanding customer acceptance and market penetration. This could be a promising area for future revenue diversification.

Investors should keep an eye on the delinquency rates and the cumulative net charge-off rates, as these indicate the credit health of the loan portfolio. While the slight increases in these rates are not alarming, they warrant monitoring in subsequent quarters.

Yiren Digital's operational adjustments in response to regulatory changes, particularly in the insurance segment, highlight the importance of regulatory compliance in their business model. The company's recent decline in life insurance volume and gross written premiums can be traced back to product changes required by new regulations. This serves as a reminder to investors that regulatory landscapes can significantly impact business operations and revenue streams.

Additionally, the establishment of an ESG Board Committee and the upgrade of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to incorporate ESG-related topics are strategic moves to align with global best practices and attract ESG-conscious investors. This shows the company's proactive stance on governance and sustainability, which is increasingly becoming a focal point for investors.

For retail investors, it's essential to recognize that regulatory compliance not only helps in mitigating risks but also enhances the company's reputation and can lead to long-term value creation. The balance between adhering to regulatory requirements and driving business growth should be closely evaluated.

Insurance Brokerage Business

  • Cumulative number of insurance clients served reached 1,343,660 as of March 31, 2024, representing an increase of 4.7% from 1,283,102 as of December 31, 2023 and compared to 1,007,238 as of March 31, 2023.

The decrease was primarily due to the decline in life insurance volume resulting from product changes required by new regulations.
  • Gross written premiums in the first quarter of 2024 were RMB912.4 million (US$126.4 million), representing a decrease of 24.5% from RMB1,208.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 and compared to RMB923.4 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was mainly attributed to the declined life insurance volume resulting from product changes required by new regulations.

Consumption and Lifestyle Business

  • Total gross merchandise volume generated through our e-commerce platform and "Yiren Select" channel reached RMB625.1 million (US$86.6 million) in the first quarter of 2024, representing a decrease of 9.8% from RMB692.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 and compared to RMB308.6 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was mainly due to seasonal reasons. As the penetration of our consumption and lifestyle products and services further grows in the existing customer pool, the growth rate of this segment is expected to gradually normalize, aligning with the growth pace of our other business segments

"We are pleased to report another solid quarter, with stable growth in our top line and overall business scale during a traditional off-season in the industry, while maintaining healthy profitability," said Mr. Ning Tang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. 

"We are also excited to announce that our 'AI Lab' initiative has begun to yield early results, as AI integration continues to permeate all aspects of our operations. Our AI strategy is structured in three comprehensive phases: firstly, empowering existing business; secondly, building advanced AI capabilities and ecosystem; and lastly, for the long-term goal, exploring future AI commercialization. It is not a sudden shift in business direction but a solid, step-by-step approach to upgrading and sharpening our core competitive strengths that we've built over the past decade of operations."

"In the first quarter of 2024, our total revenue reached RMB 1.4 billion, marking a 40% increase year-over-year. We generated approximately RMB 632 million in net cash from operations during this quarter, reflecting a 62% increase from the previous year," Ms. Na Mei, Chief Financial Officer commented. "Our balance sheet remained robust with RMB 5.9 billion in cash and equivalents as of the end of this quarter. We allocated USD 2.1 million to repurchase shares in the public market in the first quarter of this year, bringing our total deployment for the share repurchase program to USD 9.5 million by March 31, 2024."

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Total net revenue in the first quarter of 2024 was RMB1,378.1 million (US$190.9 million), representing an increase of 39.7% from RMB986.3 million in the first quarter of 2023. Particularly, in the first quarter of 2024, revenue from financial services business was RMB738.1 million (US$102.2 million), representing an increase of 52.5% from RMB483.9 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was attributed to the persistent and growing demand for our small revolving loan products. Revenue from insurance brokerage business was RMB124.9 million (US$17.3 million), representing a decrease of 36.4% from RMB196.4 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was due to declined sales of life insurance attributed to product changes required by new regulations. Revenue from consumption and lifestyle business and others was RMB515.0 million (US$71.3 million), representing an increase of 68.3% from RMB306.1 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Sales and marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2024 were RMB277.2 million (US$38.4 million), compared to RMB106.2 million in the same period of 2023.

Origination, servicing and other operating costs in the first quarter of 2024 were RMB233.3 million (US$32.3 million), compared to RMB199.7 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was due to the rapid growth of our financial services business as well as property insurance business.

General and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2024 were RMB83.7 million (US$11.6 million), compared to RMB63.4 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to adjustments in personnel and the introduction of additional incentives.

Provision for contingent liabilities in the first quarter of 2024 was RMB67.3 million (US$9.3 million), compared to RMB5.5 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was mainly attributed to a higher volume of loans facilitated under our risk-taking model[2].

Business Outlook

Based on the Company's preliminary assessment of business and market conditions, the Company projects the total revenue in the second quarter of 2024 to be between RMB1.4 billion to RMB1.6 billion, with a healthy net profit margin.

This is the Company's current and preliminary view, which is subject to changes and uncertainties.

Recent Development

1) Board Composition Change 

On June 17, 2024, Mr. Qing Li resigned from the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") due to personal reasons. Mrs. Shuo Zheng was appointed by the Board as a director of the Company to succeed Mr. Qing Li. In addition, the Board has appointed Mrs. Zheng as (i) a member of the nominating and corporate governance committee, (ii) a member of the audit committee, (iii) a member of the compensation committee, and (iv) a member of the newly formed ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) committee of the Board. The director change became effective on June 17, 2024.

Mrs. Shuo Zheng has over 28 years of experience in financial control and regulatory compliance within both corporate and personal banking sectors. From June 2016 to July 2023, she had served as the Head of Regulatory Compliance and Branch Compliance at JPMorgan Chase Bank China. Prior to this, from August 2011 to June 2016, she was the Head of North Region Compliance and Approved Compliance Officer for Citibank Beijing branch. Ms. Zheng also held positions at China offices of Deutsche Bank, Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC from 1995 to 2011. Ms. Zheng holds a bachelor's degree in finance from the Financial and Banking Institution of China, now part of the University of International Business and Economics, which she obtained in 1992. She also holds ACCA Certificates (Chinese version) and the Insurance Agent Sales Certificate.

The Board has determined that Mrs. Zheng satisfies the "independence" requirements of Section 303A of the Corporate Governance Rules of the New York Stock Exchange and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

"On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend our gratitude to Mr. Qing Li for his years of contributions to Yiren Digital and wish him all the best in his future endeavors," said Mr. Ning Tang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yiren Digital. "We are also delighted to welcome Mrs. Zheng to the Board. We believe her extensive experience in financial control and regulatory compliance will add significant value to the Board and enhance the overall governance and management of our Company."

2) Establishment of ESG Board Committee

As a strategic imperative that reflects our commitment to sustainable growth and responsible corporate governance, the Board has approved the establishment of an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Committee under the Board, consisting of Mr. Ning Tang as the committee chair, Mr. Hao Li and Mrs. Shuo Zheng as the committee members, effective June 17, 2024.

By creating this dedicated committee, the Company ensures that ESG considerations are embedded at the highest level of decision-making, aligning our operations with global best practices and stakeholder expectations. This committee will provide focused oversight on ESG matters, drive initiatives that mitigate environmental impact, promote social responsibility, and uphold strong governance standards.

Furthermore, this will enhance our transparency and accountability, attract socially conscious investors and foster long-term value creation for all stakeholders, positioning the Company as a leader in sustainability, ready to address the evolving challenges and opportunities in the industry.

3) Upgrade of Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

In line with our commitment to enhanced non-financial risk control and improved ESG efforts, the Company has amended and restated its Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code") to incorporate ESG-related topics. The revised Code became effective on June 17, 2024 and is available on our IR website at https://ir.yiren.com/Committee-Composition.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses several non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental measures to review and assess operating performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our core operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in our financial and operational decision-making. The presentation of these 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. Other companies, including peer companies in the industry, may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as a comparative measure. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance. See "Operating Highlights and Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures" at the end of this press release.
