Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results:
Operating revenue decreased by 26.2% from RMB3,269 million in the second quarter of 2021 to RMB2,413 million in the second quarter of 2022.
Revenue from new consumption-driven, location-based services increased by 32.2% from RMB407 million in the second quarter of 2021 to RMB538 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in transaction volume in the second quarter of 2022.
Revenue from technology-driven platform services decreased by 33.2% from RMB653 million in the second quarter of 2021 to RMB436 million in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease from profit-sharing model service within technology-driven platform services in the second quarter of 2022.
Revenue from credit-driven platform services decreased by 34.9% from RMB2,208 million in the second quarter of 2021 to RMB1,438 million in the second 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 58.1% from RMB1,595 million in the second quarter of 2021 to RMB667 million in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the nominal APR and 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 17.4% from RMB410 million in the second quarter of 2021 to RMB481 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in the origination of on-balance sheet loans in the second quarter of 2022.
Guarantee income increased by 42.3% from RMB204 million in the second quarter of 2021 to RMB290 million in the second 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 29.1% from RMB427 million in the second quarter of 2021 to RMB551 million in the second quarter of 2022, which was consistent with the increase of new consumption-driven revenue.
Funding cost increased by 3.5% from RMB124 million in the second quarter of 2021 to RMB128 million in the second quarter of 2022, which was consistent with the increase of the interest and financial services income and other revenues.
Processing and servicing costs was RMB474 million in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to RMB470 million in the second quarter of 2021.
Provision for credit losses of financing and interest receivables was RMB119 million in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to RMB112 million in the second quarter of 2021. 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 decreased by 6.9% from RMB140 million in the second quarter of 2021 to RMB130 million in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in the balance of contract assets as of June 30, 2022.
Provision for credit losses of contingent liabilities of guarantee increased by 12.5% from RMB335 million in the second quarter of 2021 to RMB377 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to 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.
Gross profit decreased by 61.9% from RMB1,661 million in the second quarter of 2021 to RMB633 million in the second quarter of 2022.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 3.5% from RMB495 million in the second quarter of 2021 to RMB477 million in the second 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 increased by 18.5% from RMB130 million in the second quarter of 2021 to RMB155 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries and personnel related costs.
General and administrative expenses decreased by 6.4% from RMB121 million in the second quarter of 2021 to RMB113 million in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in salaries and personnel related costs.
Change in fair value of financial guarantee derivatives and loans at fair value was a gain of RMB305 million in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to a loss of RMB1.4 million in the second 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 June 30, 2022.
Income tax expense decreased by 73.4% from RMB151 million in the second quarter of 2021 to RMB40.1 million in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease of the income tax expense was consistent with the decrease of the taxable income in the second quarter of 2022.
Net income decreased by 78.7% from RMB787 million in the second quarter of 2021 to RMB167 million in second quarter of 2022.

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.”
