“We have made significant progress in our strategic transformation to re-position our business as we enter 2020. We have completed our full operational integration of Yirendai with CreditEase’s Inclusive Finance and online wealth management business to form Yiren Digital, the leading fintech platform providing an array of credit products to consumers and asset allocation based wealth management services to mass affluent clients in China.” said Mr. Ning Tang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yiren Digital. “We are also making good progress in expanding our creditech business model into a loan facilitation as well as licensed lending operation model. And we believe our online wealth management business is poised for significant growth in the year to come with strong momentum.”

 

“For our creditech business, we are rolling out new product services to better serve our borrowers which include short tenure revolving loans and auto loans. Diversifying our funding source continues to be a top priority and we expect a significant portion of our new loan origination volume to be funded by institutional investors in 2020.” Mr. Tang continued to comment, “and as to our wealth management business, we are gaining significant traction in growing our non-P2P products and services. In the fourth quarter of 2019, AUA for non-P2P products grew 64% quarter-over-quarter, sales volume grew 232% quarter-over-quarter and the number of current investors investing in non-P2P products grew 10% from last quarter. We are seeing a strong demand for our online product offerings. In 2020, we expect the strong growth momentum for our wealth management business to continue, as we continue to roll-out non-P2P products and services by working with industry leading partners, such as Principal Global Investors (Hong Kong) Limited., a subsidiary of Principal Financial Group; and a global leader in asset management, retirement services and insurance solutions. In addition, we obtained a Hong Kong stock brokerage license in December 2019 and officially launched our stock trading APP in the same month to provide stock trading and consulting services to our clients. We strive to become the true one-stop shop asset allocation-based wealth management platform for mass affluent investors in China.”

 


 

We’re pleased to deliver another solid quarter with healthy margins as we are moving towards more diversified business models under a challenging regulatory environment. Total net revenue for the quarter was RMB 2.4 billion, up 15% from previous quarter. Net profit for the quarter was RMB 404 million up from RMB 228 million in the previous quarter. “ said Mr. Zhong Bi, Chief Financial Officer of Yiren Digital. “We are seeing meaningful operation leverage synergies as we complete the full operation integration for our business realignment. And we are also proactively managing our overall cost structure through both improving operation efficiency with technology and rationalizing our capacity to better prepare for the near term economic uncertainties due to corona virus. As such, with a lean and more efficient operational workforce, coupled with our strong balance sheet with approximately RMB 3.6 billion of cash and short-term liquidity, we believe we are on solid footing in the dynamic environment.”

 

“On credit performance and risk management, we are maintaining our overall risk performance inline with our expected ranges, despite the tightening collection practices, and to a lesser extend, limitation on external data usage.” said Mr. Michael Ji, Chief Risk Officer of Yiren Digital. “To promptly respond to a potential economic slowdown due to the recent coronavirus outbreak , we have been actively tightening our risk policy, adjusting our product portfolio and optimizing our risk data sets. The latest data suggested that the delinquencies had been coming down in recent weeks, showing a very encouraging trend, which led us to expect that the impact from the corona virus would rather be short term than be prolonged.”

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.
