Fourth Quarter 2022 and Fiscal Year 2022 Operational Highlights

 

Holistic Wealth Business

The quarter-over-quarter decline was primarily due to the change of product mix. The decline was partially offset by the rapid growth of customer base on Yiren Select platform.

 

lTotal client assets2 was RMB23,372.1 million (US$3,388.6 million) as of December 31, 2022, representing an increase of 2.5% from RMB22,795.8 million as of September 30, 2022 and compared to RMB19,261.0 million as of December 31, 2021.

 

lSales volume of investment products amounted to RMB6,502.1 million (US$942.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 45.3% from RMB4,476.4 million in the third quarter of 2022 and compared to RMB5,391.8 million in the same period of 2021. The growth was mainly driven by the rapid expansion of our insurance brokerage business. For the fiscal year of 2022, sales volume of investment products reached RMB21,897.0 million (US$3,174.8 million), compared to RMB21,588.6 million in 2021.

 

Credit-tech Business

 

lTotal loans facilitated in the fourth quarter of 2022 reached RMB6.8 billion (US$983.5 million), representing an increase of 7.7% from RMB6.3 billion in the third quarter of 2022 and compared to RMB6.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021. The growth was mainly due to the strong demand of our small revolving loan products. Total loans facilitated in 2022 reached RMB22.6 billion (US$3.3 billion), compared to RMB23.2 billion. The decline was due to the business transitions, which was largely offset by the strong growth of our consumer loan business post the restructuring.

lNumber of borrowers served in the fourth quarter of 2022 was 862,226, representing an increase of 16.9% from 737,320 in the third quarter of 2022 and compared to 618,131 in the same period of 2021. The increase was driven by the strong demand of our small revolving loan products. Total number of borrowers served in 2022 was 1,606,893, compared to 1,297,046 in 2021.

 

lOutstanding balance of performing loans facilitated reached RMB11,259.8 million (US$1,632.5 million) as of December 31, 2022, representing an increase of 5.9% from RMB10,630.4 million as of September 30, 2022 and compared to RMB14,102.3 million as of December 31, 2021.

 

Consumption-Driven Services

 

lTotal gross merchandise volume generated through our e-commerce platform and "Yiren Select" channel reached RMB292.1 million (US$42.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022. representing an increase of 17.0% from RMB249.6 million in the third quarter of 2022 and compared to RMB61.6 million in the same period of 2021.

 

“We are pleased to deliver an impressive quarter with robust growth in both revenue and profitability, marking the full success of our business re-structuring and product optimization despite the volatilities of external environment amid the Covid resurgence.” said Mr. Ning Tang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yiren Digital.

 

“As we previously projected, our insurance brokerage business continued its strong momentum in the fourth quarter of 2022. Total premium reached more than RMB1.3 billion, representing a 34% increase quarter over quarter and over 50% growth year on year. In the year of 2022, our total premium rocketed by 61% to appropriately RMB4 billion, significantly outperforming the industry average of 4.6% annual growth rate. As of December 31, 2022, Hexiang Insurance Brokers had established approximately 40 offline branches nationwide and offered over 840 insurance products from more than 100 insurers.

 

“Regarding credit-tech business, our total loan volume reached RMB6.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022, representing an 8% increase quarter over quarter despite the pandemic resurgence and the infection peak post the reopening in November and December. The momentum is mainly driven by our consumer loan business. In this quarter, our small revolving loan took close to 80% of our total loan volume, compared to 65% in the same period of 2021, reflecting a vivid transition of our product mix upon the completion of business restructuring. Loan facilitation of our small revolving loan products reached RMB5.3 billion this quarter, showing a 15% quarterly increase and 32% annual growth. As our domestic consumption starts to recover, we expect the momentum to continue in the coming quarters.”

 

 

 

 

“We delivered a strong profit of RMB485 million this quarter, increased by a significant 47% year over year and 80% quarter over quarter. For the full year of 2022, total net profit reached RMB1.2 billion, showing an increase of 16% compared to the prior year despite the impact from the closure of our offline business line that leads to a declined full year revenue. Net profit margin climbed to 35% in 2022 from 23% in 2021, a vivid reflection of our fruitful efforts in optimizing unit economics via business transitions and cost control.” said Ms. Na Mei, Chief Financial Officer of Yiren Digital. “On the balance sheet side, our cash position grew stronger with usable cash reaching RMB5.2 billion, an 11% increase compared to the end of last quarter, paving a solid foundation for us to expand our business and seize any new opportunities in the future.”

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.
