Insights

Yiren Digital's Q4 and full-year 2024 results showcase a 14.0% year-over-year revenue growth to RMB1,452.2 million for the quarter and a 19% increase for the full year, demonstrating strong operational momentum. The financial services segment delivered an impressive 34.1% revenue increase year-over-year, driven by growing demand for small revolving loan products.

However, profitability metrics reveal some challenges. Q4 net income declined significantly to RMB331.4 million from RMB571.3 million in Q4 2023, primarily due to substantial provisions for contingent liabilities (RMB250.7 million) related to the company's risk-taking loan model. The company has also substantially increased its R&D expenses by over 3X year-over-year to RMB164.7 million, reflecting heavy investment in AI capabilities.

Loan facilitation grew 14.6% quarter-over-quarter to RMB15.4 billion, with improving asset quality evidenced by declining delinquency rates (1.6% for 1-30 days past due versus 1.8% in Q3). The enhanced dividend policy shows management confidence, with the payout ratio increasing to 20% from 14% previously.

The balance sheet remains solid with RMB3.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents. The 2025 revenue guidance of RMB5.5-6.5 billion suggests continued growth with "healthy net profit margins," indicating management expects the significant investments in AI and customer acquisition to yield returns in the coming year.

Most importantly, the strategic shift toward higher-quality borrowers appears to be working, with improved delinquency metrics despite the growing loan book, suggesting the foundation for sustainable growth is strengthening.

Yiren Digital's strategic positioning as an "AI-powered platform" is beginning to show tangible results, with the company successfully pivoting toward higher-quality borrower segments while maintaining robust loan facilitation growth of 14.6% quarter-over-quarter. The 19% full-year revenue growth significantly outpaces China's overall fintech industry growth rate, indicating market share gains.

What stands out is the significant investment in AI infrastructure, with R&D expenses surging to RMB164.7 million in Q4 (up from RMB47.6 million year-over-year). While this has temporarily compressed margins, the improved operational efficiency is already evident in stable origination costs despite growing volumes and a reduction in G&A expenses as a percentage of revenue.

The company's risk management approach deserves attention - they're taking a conservative stance by significantly increasing provisions (RMB250.7 million for contingent liabilities) while simultaneously improving delinquency metrics. This suggests management is building substantial loss reserves while actual credit performance improves, potentially creating hidden value.

The international expansion, particularly in the Philippines reaching profitability ahead of schedule, represents a promising diversification strategy away from the highly competitive and regulated Chinese market. Combined with the substantial cash position of RMB3.8 billion and increasing dividend payout ratio, management is effectively balancing growth investments with shareholder returns.

The key metric to watch is the continued improvement in customer quality, as this will ultimately determine if the heavy investments in customer acquisition and AI capabilities generate sustainable returns.

Total number of insurance clients served was 296,842 in 2024, compared to 358,278 in 2023. The decrease was due to the decline in new sales of our insurance products amid regulatory changes.
Gross written premiums in the fourth quarter of 2024 were RMB1,100.3 million (US$150.7 million), representing a decrease of 18.6% from RMB1,351.3 million in the third quarter of 2024 and compared to RMB1,208.7 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was attributed to the ongoing impact of regulatory changes and tightening measures. Total gross written premiums were RMB4,424.9 million in 2024, compared to RMB4,893.0 million in 2023.

"We closed out the year on a strong note, delivering another solid quarter of results that were in line with our previous guidance." said Mr. Ning Tang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"2024 marked a milestone for us with several key achievements: First, we upgraded our customer segments in the financial services business, effectively improving asset quality for sustainable growth. Second, we advanced our proprietary AI systems and integrated them across all operations, driving significant improvements in efficiency and user experience. Third, our international business met its phased objectives and achieved profitability, driven by our successful expansion in the Philippines. These successes set the foundation for our long-term, high-quality growth in the coming year."

"The year 2024 has been a strong one, with solid financial performance, as full-year revenue grew by 19%," Mr. Yuning Feng, Chief Financial Officer commented. "On the balance sheet side, as of the end of 2024, our cash and cash equivalents remained strong at RMB3.8 billion, highlighting our financial flexibility and positioning us to capitalize on strategic opportunities. Meanwhile, we are pleased to announce a cash dividend distribution for the second half of 2024, amounting to US$0.22 per American depositary share (the"ADS"), an approximately 20% payout ratio, up from 14% for the first half of 2024."

Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Total net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024 was RMB1,452.2 million (US$199.0 million), representing an increase of 14.0% from RMB1,274.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Particularly, in the fourth quarter of 2024, revenue from financial services business was RMB1,047.8 million (US$143.5 million), representing an increase of 34.1% from RMB781.3 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 RMB106.4 million (US$14.6 million), representing an increase of 8.4% from RMB98.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was driven by a higher-than-expected premium renewal rate. Revenue from consumption and lifestyle business and others was RMB298.0 million (US$40.8 million), representing a decrease of 24.5% from RMB394.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the already high penetration of our products and services within the existing customer pool, along with our strategic scale-back of product offerings as we upgrade our customer segment. The Company is conducting a strategic review of this segment to better understand its potential and identify the best ways to serve our customers. Based on the findings, we will adjust our approach and offerings to ensure we effectively meet their needs.

Sales and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2024 were RMB298.5 million (US$40.9 million), compared to RMB205.7 million in the same period of 2023.

Allowance for contract assets, receivables and others in the fourth quarter of 2024 was RMB203.1 million (US$27.8 million), compared to RMB100.2 million in the same period of 2023.

Provision for contingent liabilities in the fourth quarter of 2024 was RMB250.7 million (US$34.3 million), compared to a reversal of RMB1.5 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was mainly attributed to a growing volume of loans facilitated under our risk-taking model^[1].

Net income in the fourth quarter of 2024 was RMB331.4 million (US$45.4 million), as compared to RMB571.3 million in the same period in 2023.

Revenue from consumption and lifestyle business and others was RMB1,924.4 million (US$263.6 million), compared to RMB1,416.7 million in 2023.

Provision for contingent liabilities in 2024 was RMB869.3 million (US$119.1 million), compared to RMB27.0 million in 2023. The increase was mainly attributed to the growing loan volume facilitated under our risk-taking model where upfront provision is required under current accounting principles.

[1] The risk-taking model refers to the framework in which the company assumes the credit risk for the loans facilitated on our platform.

[2] "Adjusted EBITDA" is a non-GAAP financial measure. For more information on this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the section of "Operating Highlights and Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures" and the table captioned "Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA" set forth at the end of this press release.

[3] "Delinquency rates" refers to the outstanding principal balance of loans that were 1-30 days, 31-60 days and 61-90 days past due as a percentage of the total performing outstanding principal balance of loans as of a specific date.

Dividend Policy

Under the Company's semi-annual dividend policy, the Company will distribute a cash dividend for the second half of 2024, amounting to US$0.22 per American depositary share (the "ADS"), each representing two ordinary shares of the Company, par value US$0.0001 per share. The dividend is expected to be paid on or about May 15, 2025 to holders of the Company's ordinary shares and ADSs of record as of the close of business on April 30, 2025, based on Hong Kong time and New York time, respectively.

Business Outlook

Based on the Company's preliminary assessment of business and market conditions, the Company projects the total revenue in the year of 2025 to be between RMB5.5 billion to RMB6.5 billion, with a healthy net profit margin.

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

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.
