expected credit losses financial
"only the portion of lifetime expected credit loss (“ECL”) that results from default events"
Expected credit losses are an accounting estimate of how much a lender or company expects to lose when borrowers or customers don’t fully pay what they owe, combining how likely nonpayment is with how big the loss would be. Investors care because these estimates determine how much a firm must set aside from earnings as a reserve, directly affecting reported profits, balance-sheet strength and perceptions of credit risk—like setting aside a rainy-day fund for unpaid bills.
effective interest rate financial
"the effective interest rate is computed on the basis of the estimated cash flows"
share-based compensation financial
"The Group granted options and restricted shares with service condition only to employees and the share-based compensation expenses"
Share-based compensation is when a company pays employees, executives or directors with its own stock or rights to buy stock instead of, or in addition to, cash. Think of it like receiving store gift cards instead of extra paycheck — it can motivate staff to boost the company’s value, but it also increases the number of shares outstanding and can shrink each existing owner’s slice of profits and voting power. Investors watch it because it affects reported earnings, share count and the alignment between management and shareholders.
financial guarantee financial
"Accordingly, the reconciliation includes a difference in financial guarantee to reduce the liabilities recorded."
A financial guarantee is a promise from a third party—often a bank or insurer—to pay a debt or meet an obligation if the original borrower does not, similar to a cosigner stepping in to cover a loan. Investors pay attention because guarantees reduce the chance of loss, can improve a borrower’s credit standing and borrowing costs, and act like insurance that makes a company’s cash flows and risk profile more predictable.
convertible senior notes financial
"Under U.S. GAAP, the convertible senior notes of the Group were measured as a liability."
Convertible senior notes are a type of loan that a company issues to investors, which can be turned into company shares later on. They are called "senior" because they are paid back before other debts if the company runs into trouble. This allows investors to earn interest like a loan but also have the chance to own part of the company if its value rises.
IFRS 9 financial
"Under IFRS Accounting Standards, in accordance with IFRS 9, only the portion of lifetime expected credit loss"
IFRS 9 is an international accounting rule for how companies record and report financial instruments such as loans, bonds and derivatives. It sets standards for how assets are classified and measured, how expected credit losses are estimated and when hedge protections can be shown, which affects reported profits and balance-sheet strength. For investors, it matters because it changes when and how quickly credit problems or market risks appear in financial statements—like updating a household budget to reflect likely future bills sooner.

Notes:

 

(i)Expected credit losses, net of tax

 

Under U.S. GAAP, ASC 326 requires recognition of allowances upon origination or acquisition of financial assets at an estimate to reflect expected credit losses over the contractual term of the financial assets (the current expected credit loss or the “CECL” model) and adjusted as of each subsequent reporting period. Under IFRS Accounting Standards, in accordance with IFRS 9, only the portion of lifetime expected credit loss (“ECL”) that results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date is recorded (“stage 1”) upon initial recognition. Lifetime expected credit losses are subsequently recorded only if there is a significant increase in the credit risk of the asset (“stage 2”). Once there is objective evidence of impairment (“stage 3”), lifetime ECL continues to be recognized, but interest revenue is calculated on the net carrying amount (that is, amortized cost net of the credit allowance). Accordingly, the reconciliation includes a difference in the credit losses for loans receivable and guarantee liabilities to reflect the difference between IFRS 9 and ASC 326.

 

(ii)Effective interest rate on loans receivable, net of tax

 

The Group recognizes revenue fees and interests charged to the borrowers over the lifetime of the loans using the effective interest method under “financing income” in the consolidated statement of operations. Under U.S. GAAP, the effective interest rate is computed on the basis of the contractual cash flows over the contractual term of the loan. Under IFRS Accounting Standards, the effective interest rate is computed on the basis of the estimated cash flows that are expected to be received over the expected life of a loan by considering all of the loan's contractual terms (e.g., prepayment and similar options). Accordingly, the reconciliation includes a difference in financing income and loans receivable as a result.

 

(iii)Share-based compensation

 

The Group granted options and restricted shares with service condition only to employees and the share-based compensation expenses were recognized over the vesting period using straight-line method under U.S. GAAP. The Group is allowed to make an accounting policy election to account for awards forfeitures as they occur or by estimating expected forfeitures as compensation cost is recognized. The Group elects to account for forfeitures of all the rewards in the period they occur as a deduction to expense. While under IFRS Accounting Standards, the graded vesting method must be applied and in regard of forfeitures of the awards, the Group is required to estimate the forfeitures. Accordingly, the reconciliation includes an income of RMB35,372 and RMB8,637 in the consolidated statements of operations for each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

 

(iv)Financial guarantee, net of tax

 

Under U.S. GAAP, the Group adopted ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which requires gross accounting for guarantee liability. As a result, at inception of the guarantee, the Group will recognize both a stand-ready guarantee liability under ASC 460 with an associated financial assets receivable, and a contingent guarantee liability with an allowance under CECL model. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the ASC 460 stand-ready guarantee liability is released into guarantee revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the guarantee, while the contingent guarantee is reduced by the payouts made by the Group to compensate the investors upon borrowers' default. Under IFRS Accounting Standards, according to IFRS 9 and IFRS 15, the Group chose to apply the accounting policy that guarantee premium receivable is accrued and the corresponding revenue recognized on a monthly basis as the service fees are due and collected by installment rather than upfront. After initial recognition, the Group subsequently measure the financial guarantees at the higher of (1) the amount of the loss allowance and (2) the amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognized in accordance with the principles of IFRS 15. Accordingly, the reconciliation includes a difference in financial guarantee to reduce the liabilities recorded.

 

(v)Convertible senior notes

 

Under U.S. GAAP, the convertible senior notes of the Group were measured as a liability. Issuance costs related to the convertible senior notes were recorded as a direct deduction from the principal amount of the convertible senior notes, and the discount caused by issuance cost is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the maturity date of the convertible senior notes, using the effective interest method. Under IFRS Accounting Standards, the convertible senior notes are designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss such that the convertible senior notes are initially recognized at fair value. Issuance costs related to the convertible senior notes were charged into profit or loss initially. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group considered that the amounts of changes in fair value of the convertible senior notes that are attributed to changes in own credit risk of the convertible senior notes recognized in other comprehensive income were insignificant. The amounts of changes in fair value of the convertible senior notes are recognized in the profit or loss.

 

As of December 31, 2025, under U.S. GAAP, the carrying amount of RMB1,019,130 of the convertible senior notes are recorded as current liabilities as the Group had a plan to repurchase such portion of the convertible senior notes within one year and the Group repurchased such portion of the convertible senior notes in January 2026. Under IFRS Accounting Standards, the classification liabilities as current or non-current should not be affected by the management intentions or expectations to settle the liability within 12 months. The convertible senior notes are recorded as non-current liabilities as there were no contractual obligations for the Group to repurchase within one year as of December 31, 2025.
