      • Average loan tenure[7] was 8.4 months for the first quarter of 2020.

      Mr. Feng Zhang, the Chief Executive Officer of FinVolution, commented, "Faced with a challenging start to the beginning of 2020, we adopted effective measures to ensure the continuity of our business, the safety of our employees, and to provide continual service and support for all our users, all while doing our part to contribute to the broader fight against COVID-19.

      "During these unprecedented market conditions, we took action early to control credit risks and proactively reduced loans originated on our platform, which resulted in a sequential decline of 23% in our loan origination volume in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. These timely and proactive measures we took ensured that our business operations remained resilient and allowed us to deliver solid performance and positive profitability in the first quarter, in spite of the challenging environment. Our institutional funding partners continued to show keen interest in lending on our platform and funding remained stable and ample, and our funding cost continues to improve quarter over quarter.

      "As mentioned on our previous earnings call, we started seeing signs of improvement in delinquency rates since early March. This trend has continued to improve throughout April and May, as China gradually contains the virus's spread and recovers from societal suspension. As we strengthened efforts in loan collection and risk management, our loan collection recovery rate[9] has returned to pre-pandemic levels.

      "As the COVID-19 pandemic is still evolving and has an enduring impact on the global economy, we will continue to closely monitor the situation and remain agile in our business operations. We are continuing our focus on the vast consumer finance market in China by sharpening our technological capabilities and providing higher quality service to both customers and partners," Mr. Zhang concluded.

      Mr. Simon Ho, the Chief Financial Officer of FinVolution, commented, "In the first quarter, due to the impact of COVID-19 and relevant downturn expectation of economy, we took a more prudent stance in our forward looking forecast used in ASC 326, which negatively impacted our earnings.  However, despite the impact of COVID-19, we still delivered non-GAAP operating income[8] of RMB 463.8 million, a solid result given the unprecedented market conditions. To date, our balance sheet and liquidity remain strong with RMB2.4 billion of cash and short term investments. We are confident that our core strengths position us well to continue to capture the enormous potential in the consumer finance market."

      Accounting Policy Change

      Effective January 1, 2020, FinVolution Group adopted the ASC 326, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments or "CECL", using a modified retrospective method. As a result of adopting ASC 326, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as a decrease of approximately RMB883.0 million to the opening balances of retained earnings. The adoption of this standard established a single credit loss model for all financial assets carried at amortized cost and certain off balance sheet credit exposures (i.e. guarantees). Under ASC 326, the Company is required to record the expected credit losses of the financial assets and off balance sheet credit exposures upon initial recognition, which is typically earlier than the old standard. Also, the CECL framework requires our estimate to reflect expected credit losses over the full expected life and considers expected future changes in the macroeconomic conditions. Further, before the adoption of ASC 326, guarantee liabilities subsequent to initial recognition, was recorded at the higher of our stand ready obligation (ASC 460 component) and the contingent component (ASC 450 component). Upon adoption of ASC 326, the expected credit losses, which replaces ASC 450 component, was recorded separately from and in addition to the ASC 460 component upon initial recognition. Subsequently, the ASC 460 component is released as revenue systematically over the term of the loans and the expected credit losses is trued up based on expected life time credit losses of the loans covered by the quality assurance commitments at each balance sheet date.  

      The following table sets forth the impact to the financial position of the Company and retained earnings upon adoption of the standard on January 1, 2020:

      [10] Upon adoption of ASC 326, quality assurance payable is separated into deferred guarantee income
      (i.e. the unamortized ASC 460 component of guarantee) amounting to 1,873.3 million and expected
      credit losses for quality assurance commitment (i.e. CECL liability) amounting to 3,593.0 million.

      First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

      Net revenue for the first quarter of 2020 increased by 40.8% to RMB2,106.3 million (US$297.5 million) from RMB1,495.6 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the adoption of ASC 326. Before the adoption of ASC 326, gain or losses related to quality assurance commitments were recorded in one combined financial statement line item within other income. After the adoption of ASC 326, the guarantee income (i.e. the guarantee liability) was recorded as a separate financial statement line item within revenue and the credit losses for quality assurance was recorded within expenses.  

      Loan facilitation service fees decreased by 60.1% to RMB374.5 million (US$52.9 million) for the first quarter of 2020 from RMB938.6 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the decline in loan origination volume and the decrease in the average rate of transaction fees.

      Net interest income was RMB315.0 million (US$44.5 million) for the first quarter of 2020, compared to RMB170.5 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to increased interest income from the expansion of outstanding loan balances in consolidated trusts.

      Provision for loans receivables was RMB295.9 million (US$41.8 million) for the first quarter of 2020, compared with RMB37.2 million in the same period of 2019 primarily due to the adoption of ASC 326, which requires the Company to recognize the life time credit losses upon initial recognition, and increased number of consolidated trusts in the quarter.

      Provision for accounts receivables was RMB33.1 million (US$4.7 million) for the first quarter of 2020, compared with RMB60.4 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the decrease in loan origination volume.

      Income tax expenses were RMB89.2 million (US$12.6 million) for the first quarter of 2020, compared with RMB141.3 million in the same period of 2019, due to lower operating income for the quarter.

      Change of Management

      The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has approved the resignation of Mr. Honghui Hu from his position as the Company's President. Mr. Hu's resignation was due to his personal reasons. Mr. Hu will continue to serve as an advisor to the Company and remain on the Board as a director.

      In the meantime, Mr. Tiezheng Li, the Company's director and deputy chairman will assume the role of the President. Mr. Tiezheng Li is one of the Company's four co-founders and has been serving as director since March 2015 and deputy chairman since September 2018. Mr. Li also served as the Company's Chief Strategy Officer from July 2017 to April 2020, Chief Operating Officer from April 2015 to July 2017 and  Chief Risk Officer from January 2011 to April 2015. Prior to co-founding the Company, Mr. Li held various risk management roles at China Minsheng Banking Corporation from 2006 to 2011.

      Mr. Feng Zhang said, " I would like to thank Mr. Honghui Hu for his contributions in shaping the company's direction for close to a decade. He has worked tirelessly over his tenure for all our stakeholders to drive value and growth for FinVolution Group. We thank him for his hardwork and many years of service. We looked forward to Honghui's continued contribution in his new role as our advisor."

      Share Repurchase Update

      The Company has repurchased approximately 5.5 million American depositary shares ("ADSs") between January 2020 and May 22, 2020. As of May 22, 2020, the Company has cumulatively deployed approximately US$84.6 million to repurchase its ADSs under the Company's share repurchase program with a total authorized amount of up to US$120 million.

      Business Outlook

      As China gradually recovers from the aftermath of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company has since March experienced early signs of improvement in loan collection recovery rates[9] and delinquency trends. In light of this situation, together with the Company's institutional funding partners and other stakeholders, FinVolution is constantly adjusting its business strategies to remain agile in its operations. The Company continues to closely monitor this evolving situation and has an optimistic view on the Company's business operations over the long term. The Company expects its loan origination volume in the second quarter of 2020 to be at a similar level compared to the first quarter of 2020.

      The above outlook is based on current market conditions and reflects the Company's preliminary expectations as to market conditions, its regulatory and operating environment, as well as customer and institutional investor demand, all of which are subject to change.

      [1] Before the adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, gain or losses related to quality assurance commitments were recorded
      in one combined financial statement line item within other income. After the adoption of ASC 326, the guarantee income (i.e.
      the release of ASC 460 component of guarantee liability) was recorded as a separate financial statement line item within
      revenue and the credit losses for quality assurance commitments (i.e. the recognition of CECL losses) was recorded within
      expenses.
