LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. Reports Third Quarter 2023

Unaudited Financial Results

SHENZHEN, China, November 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. (“Lexin” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LX), a leading technology-empowered personal financial service enabler in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

 

“Lexin reported total loan originations of RMB63.3 billion for the third quarter of 2023, achieving a year-over-year increase of 12.7%. Cumulatively, our growth for the first three quarters stands at 26.7%. The outstanding loan balance reached RMB121 billion, reflecting an increase of 27.7% compared to last year,” said Jay Wenjie Xiao, Chairman and CEO of Lexin. “The consistent delivery of strong quarterly results this year reinforces our confidence in meeting the loan origination target we set earlier. Despite the sluggish macroeconomic recovery and tepid consumer spending, it is noteworthy that we have sustained momentum since the first-quarter trough in 2022.”

“In the past quarter, we continued to focus on our core strategies: enhancing risk management capabilities, attracting higher-quality customer cohorts, refining operations, and implementing cost-effective initiatives. These efforts have yielded in an improved customer base, increased user acquisition efficiency, an optimized funding structure, and a refined portfolio tenure structure.”

“Looking forward, we remain vigilant and are taking all necessary measures to safeguard our asset quality. We continue to be committed to prudently balancing growth with risks and cautiously navigating uncertainties. At the same time, we are pivoting by steadfastly pursuing our strategic goals,” added Mr. Xiao.

“Our financial results for the third quarter were robust, keeping us on a path of recovery and growth,” stated James Zheng, CFO of Lexin. “Total operating revenue was RMB3.5 billion, marking a substantial increase of 30.4% year-over-year and 14.8% quarter-on-quarter. Net profit ascended to RMB371 million, registering a rise of 34.4% over the previous year and 4.2% from the last quarter. The net profit margin edged up to 10.6%, from 10.2% in the third quarter of 2022. This profitability boost springs from the enhanced control over the early repayment behaviors, leading to an improvement in our revenue take rate. Moreover, despite the allocation of additional provisions in line with our prudent approach, factors like reduced funding costs, more effective customer acquisition strategies, a higher-quality customer base, and ongoing implementation of cost-efficiency measures have all played a part in enhancing the profitability this quarter.”

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results:

Operating revenue increased by 30.4% from RMB2,690 million in the third quarter of 2022 to RMB3,509 million in the third quarter of 2023.

Credit facilitation service income increased by 61.2% from RMB1,666 million in the third quarter of 2022 to RMB2,686 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase was driven by the increases in loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented and guarantee income, partially offset by the decrease in financing income.

Loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented increased by 115% from RMB714 million in the third quarter of 2022 to RMB1,533 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the increase in off-balance sheet loans originated under the credit-oriented model, as well as better control over the early repayment behaviors.

 

Guarantee income increased by 55.8% from RMB410 million in the third quarter of 2022 to RMB639 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in loan originations and the increase of outstanding balances in the off-balance sheet loans funded by certain institutional funding partners, which are accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees.

 

Financing income decreased by 5.2% from RMB542 million in the third quarter of 2022 to RMB514 million in the third quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the origination of on-balance sheet loans.

Tech-empowerment service income decreased by 9.2% from RMB500 million in the third quarter of 2022 to RMB454 million in the third quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in APR of loans originated, as well as the decrease of loan facilitation volume under the profit-sharing model within tech-empowerment service as compared to the third quarter of 2022.

 

Installment e-commerce platform service income decreased by 29.6% from RMB525 million in the third quarter of 2022 to RMB369 million in the third quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in transaction volume in the third quarter of 2023.

Cost of sales decreased by 32.2% from RMB531 million in the third quarter of 2022 to RMB360 million in the third quarter of 2023, which was consistent with the decrease in installment e-commerce platform service income.

Funding cost decreased by 12.0% from RMB150 million in the third quarter of 2022 to RMB132 million in the third quarter of 2023, which was consistent with the decrease in financing income.

Processing and servicing costs decreased by 5.6% from RMB472 million in the third quarter of 2022 to RMB446 million in the third quarter of 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in risk management and collection expenses.

Provision for financing receivables was RMB162 million for the third quarter of 2023, as compared to RMB126 million for the third quarter of 2022. The lifetime expected credit losses recognized is estimated based on the most recent performance in relation to the Company's on-balance sheet loans, taking into consideration the forward-looking factors.

Provision for contract assets and receivables was RMB159 million in the third quarter of 2023, as compared to RMB133 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to the significant increase in loan facilitations and servicing fees in the third quarter of 2023.

Provision for contingent guarantee liabilities was RMB894 million in the third quarter of 2023, as compared to RMB382 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to the increase in loan origination of the off-balance sheet loans funded by certain institutional funding partners, which are accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees.

Gross profit increased by 51.2% from RMB897 million in the third quarter of 2022 to RMB1,356 million in the third quarter of 2023.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 3.3% from RMB425 million in the third quarter of 2022 to RMB411 million in the third quarter of 2023, primarily as a result of the decrease of salaries and personnel related costs for the sales employees.

Research and development expenses decreased by 9.9% from RMB141 million in the third quarter of 2022 to RMB127 million in the third quarter of 2023, primarily as a result of the Company’s improved efficiency.

General and administrative expenses decreased by 18.1% from RMB104 million in the third quarter of 2022 to RMB85.5 million in the third quarter of 2023, primarily as a result of the Company’s expense control measures.

Change in fair value of financial guarantee derivatives and loans at fair value was a loss of RMB246 million in the third quarter of 2023, as compared to a gain of RMB122 million in the third quarter of 2022. The change in fair value was primarily due to the re-measurement of the expected loss rates and changes in the balances of the underlying outstanding off-balance sheet loans at the balance sheet date, partially offset by the fair value gains realized as a result of the release of guarantee obligation.

Income tax expense increased by 63.0% from RMB70.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 to RMB115 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to the increase in the income before income tax expense in the third quarter of 2023

Net income increased by 34.4% from RMB276 million in the third quarter of 2022 to RMB371 million in the third quarter of 2023.

 

Outlook

Based on the Company’s preliminary assessment of the current market conditions and the prudent business approach due to the weak consumption recovery, the company reaffirms the earlier guidance of annual GMV amount of RMB245-255 billion, which represents 20-25% year over year growth.

These estimates reflect the Company's current expectation, which is subject to change.

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.

__________________________

(3) Starting from the fourth quarter of 2022, we updated the descriptions of three categories of our revenue streams as Credit facilitation service income, Tech-empowerment service income, and Installment e-commerce platform service income, to provide more relevant and clear information. We also revised the revenue presentation in comparative periods to conform to the current classification.
 

Credit facilitation service income was previously reported as “Credit-Driven Platform Services” before the change of presentation.
 

Financing income was previously reported as “Interest and financial services income and other revenues” before the change of presentation.
 

Tech-empowerment service income was previously reported as “Technology-Driven Platform Services” before the change of presentation.
 

Installment e-commerce platform service income was previously reported as “New consumption-driven, location-based services” before the change of presentation.
