Mr. Yan Dinggui, the Company’s Founder, Director and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “In the fourth quarter, the industry navigated a broader transition following the formal implementation of the new regulatory framework. This period of transition contributed to sector-wide liquidity tightening and increased volatility in overall risk levels. In response, we proactively shifted our strategic focus, prioritizing asset quality over scale expansion to ensure long-term stability. Consequently, our loan facilitation volume of the fourth quarter reached RMB24.2 billion and net income stood at RMB100.6 million, representing year-over-year declines of 12.6% and 63.5%, respectively.

Looking back on 2025, we remained firmly committed to our ‘Compliance-First’ principle, refined domestic operations with AI-driven risk management to focus on higher-quality borrower segments and deepened our overseas business development, driving rapid growth in its business scale. Full year loan facilitation volume amounted to RMB129.0 billion, up 28.0% year over year while net revenue grew 7.3% to RMB6,222.2 million.

Moving forward, in light of the evolving regulatory landscape, we remain committed to enhancing operational resilience through prudent risk management and disciplined cost control. We believe this strategic combination of domestic efficiency and geographic diversification will build a sustainable competitive advantage over the long term.”

Revenue from loan facilitation services was RMB803.8 million (US$114.9 million), representing a decrease of 28.5% from the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in loan facilitation volume and facilitation service fee rates.

Revenue from releasing of guarantee liabilities was RMB203.6 million (US$29.1 million) compared with RMB156.6 million in the same period of 2024. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the increase in average outstanding loan balances for which the Company provided guarantee services.

Business Outlook

The Company expects its loan facilitation volume for the first quarter of 2026 to be in the range of RMB18.5 billion to RMB19.5 billion. This outlook reflects a disciplined recalibration of our strategy as we prioritize asset quality and operational resilience amidst the evolving regulatory and macroeconomic landscape. This forecast reflects the Company’s current and preliminary views on the market and operational conditions, which are subject to change.

Recent Development

Regulatory Update

On October 1, 2025, “Notice by the National Financial Regulatory Administration of Strengthening the Management of the Internet Loan Facilitation Business of Commercial Banks to Enhance the Quality and Efficiency of Financial Services” was officially implemented, marking a new phase of compliance-driven restructuring and profound adjustment for loan facilitation industry. It mandates, among other things, the following key provisions: (i) bank headquarters shall maintain and publicly disclose on their official websites and mobile applications a whitelist of partnered online lending platforms; (ii) online lending platforms are prohibited from charging interest or other fees to borrowers; (iii) credit enhancement service providers are prohibited from charging service or consultation fees, as such practices are deemed to increase credit enhancement fees in a disguised form; and (iv) banks and online lending platforms must fully disclose key information, including but not limited to lenders, annualized interest rates, credit enhancement providers and fees, annualized funding costs, post-default interest and costs, and must clearly state that no other fees will be charged to borrowers. These requirements also apply to consumer finance companies and trust companies engaged in online lending business.

Management believes that the Company’s operating results could be affected as a result of the regulatory update. The magnitude of such impact is subject to significant uncertainty given the unpredictability of the regulatory landscape and the uncertainties inherent in the macroeconomic environment. While near-term uncertainty may persist, the Company believes these regulatory updates will support a more sustainable long-term trajectory.

Share Repurchase Plan Update

In August 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved an adjustment to the existing share repurchase plan, pursuant to which the aggregate value of ordinary shares authorized for repurchase under the plan through June 12, 2026 shall not exceed US$80 million.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had repurchased approximately 4.6 million of its ADSs for approximately US$30.4 million.

Dividend Policy

On March 27, 2025, in order to provide investors with higher returns, the Board approved and adopted a further adjustment to the Existing Dividend Policy to increase the annual dividend amount such that the Company may choose to declare and distribute a cash dividend once each fiscal year, starting from 2025, at an aggregate amount of around 30% of the net income after tax of the Company in the previous fiscal year. The determination to make dividend distributions in any particular fiscal year will be made at the discretion of the Board based upon factors such as the Company’s results of operations, cash flow, general financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors as the Board may deem relevant.

On May 20, 2025, the Board approved the declaration and payment of cash dividends of US$0.20 per ordinary share, or US$0.80 per American depositary share in the fiscal year 2025. On July 3, 2025, the Company announced the record date and payment date of the cash dividends. The aggregate amount of cash distributed was approximately US$41.1 million, representing 28% of the net income after tax of the Company in fiscal year 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure

We use non-GAAP income from operation, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measure helps identify underlying trends in our business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses. We believe that non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information about our operating results, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Non-GAAP income from operation represents income from operation excluding share-based compensation expenses.

Non-GAAP income from operation is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tool, and when assessing our operating performance, cash flows or our liquidity, investors should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for income from operation, net income, cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operation and cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

For more information on this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results” set forth at the end of this press release.
