Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results:
Operating revenue decreased by 9.4% from RMB2,969 million in the third quarter of 2021 to RMB2,690 million in the third quarter of 2022.
Revenue from new consumption-driven, location-based services increased by 31.3% from RMB400 million in the third quarter of 2021 to RMB525 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in transaction volume in the third quarter of 2022.
Revenue from technology-driven platform services decreased by 37.8% from RMB804 million in the third quarter of 2021 to RMB500 million in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease from profit-sharing model service within technology-driven platform services in the third quarter of 2022.
Revenue from credit-driven platform services decreased by 5.6% from RMB1,765 million in the third quarter of 2021 to RMB1,666 million in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented and partially offset by the increase of interest and financial services income and other revenues and guarantee income.
Loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented decreased by 39.8% from RMB1,187 million in the third quarter of 2021 to RMB714 million in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the increase of guarantee obligation, which resulted in the decrease in considerations for revenue recognition.
Interest and financial services income and other revenues increased by 30.8% from RMB414 million in the third quarter of 2021 to RMB542 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in the origination of on-balance sheet loans in the third quarter of 2022.
Guarantee income increased by 149.8% from RMB164 million in the third quarter of 2021 to RMB410 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the increase of loan origination and the increase of outstanding balances of the off-balance sheet loans funded by certain institutional funding partners, which are accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees.
Cost of sales increased by 21.4% from RMB437 million in the third quarter of 2021 to RMB531 million in the third quarter of 2022, which was consistent with the increase of new consumption-driven revenue.
Funding cost increased by 41.1% from RMB106 million in the third quarter of 2021 to RMB150 million in the third quarter of 2022, which was consistent with the increase of the funding debts to fund the on-balance sheet loans.
Processing and servicing costs decreased by 9.8% from RMB524 million in the third quarter of 2021 to RMB472 million in the third quarter of 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in fees to third party insurance companies and guarantee companies.
Provision for credit losses of financing and interest receivables decreased by 41.7% from RMB216 million in the third quarter of 2021 to RMB126 million in the third quarter of 2022. The credit losses have reflected the most recent performance in relation to the Company’s on-balance sheet loans and that the Company has continued to implement prudent credit assessment and risk management policies and procedures.
Provision for credit losses of contract assets and receivables was RMB133 million in the third quarter of 2022, as compared to RMB128 million in the third quarter of 2021.
Provision for credit losses of contingent liabilities of guarantee was RMB382 million in the third quarter of 2022, as compared to RMB51.4 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to the increase of loan origination of the off-balance sheet loans funded by certain institutional funding partners, which are accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees.
Gross profit decreased by 40.4% from RMB1,507 million in the third quarter of 2021 to RMB897 million in the third quarter of 2022.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 13.5% from RMB491 million in the third quarter of 2021 to RMB425 million in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in online advertising cost, partially offset by an increase in salaries and personnel related costs.
Research and development expenses was RMB141 million in the third quarter of 2022, as compared to RMB131 million in the third quarter of 2021.
General and administrative expenses was RMB104 million in the third quarter of 2022, as compared to RMB100 million in the third quarter of 2021.
Change in fair value of financial guarantee derivatives and loans at fair value was a gain of RMB122 million in the third quarter of 2022, as compared to a loss of RMB80.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. The change in fair value was primarily driven by the fair value gains realized as a result of the release of guarantee obligation, along with the decrease in the balances of the underlying outstanding off-balance sheet loans as of September 30, 2022.
Income tax expense decreased by 33.2% from RMB106 million in the third quarter of 2021 to RMB70.8 million in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease of the income tax expense was consistent with the decrease of the taxable income in the third quarter of 2022.
Net income decreased by 52.5% from RMB581 million in the third quarter of 2021 to RMB276 million in third quarter of 2022.
Update of Share Repurchase Program

The timing and dollar amount of the repurchase transactions will be subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-18 and/or Rule 10b5-1 requirements. The Company expects to continue to fund the repurchases under the share repurchase programs with its existing cash balance.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement
In evaluating our business, we consider and use adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, non-GAAP EBIT, adjusted net income per ordinary share and per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, four non-GAAP measures, as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of the 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 U.S. GAAP. We define adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company as net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company excluding share-based compensation expenses, interest expense associated with convertible notes, and investment (loss)/income and we define non-GAAP EBIT as net income excluding income tax expense, share-based compensation expenses, interest expense, net, and investment (loss)/income .
We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. Adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company enables our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses, interest expense associated with convertible notes, and investment (loss)/income. Non-GAAP EBIT, on the other hand, enables our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of income tax expense, share-based compensation expenses, interest expense, net, and investment (loss)/income. We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance. 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 an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company and non-GAAP EBIT is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect our operations. Share-based compensation expenses, interest expense associated with convertible notes, income tax expense, interest expense, net, and investment (loss)/income have been and may continue to be incurred in our business and are not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company and non-GAAP EBIT. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP financial information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
We compensate for these limitations by reconciling each of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, 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.

__________________________
(1) Starting from the first quarter of 2022, we report our revenue streams in three categories - new consumption-driven, location-based services, technology-driven platform services, and credit-driven platform services, to provide more relevant and updated information. We also revised the revenue presentation in comparative periods to conform to the current classification.
In providing new consumption-driven, location-based services, we provide platform and services for merchants, shopping malls, and brands to conduct sales and marketing, with the goal to drive transaction volume, for which we charge a service fee. Revenue earned from the online direct sales and services is recognized under new consumption-driven, location-based services, which was previously reported as “Online direct sales” and “Other services” within “Online direct sales and services income” before the change of presentation.
In providing technology-driven platform services, we offer a comprehensive set of services to our customers that enable them to increase revenues, manage financial risks, improve operating efficiency, improve service quality, enhance collections, and reduce overall costs. Revenue earned from platform-based services, membership services and other services is reported as one combined financial statement line item under “Technology-driven platform services.” The membership fees and other services revenue were previously reported as “Membership services” and “Other services” within “Online direct sales and services income” before the change of presentation.
The revenue earned from credit-oriented services is recognized under credit-driven platform services, which includes “Loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented,” “Interest and financial services income and other revenues,” and “Guarantee income.”
