      SHANGHAI, Aug. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- FinVolution Group ("FinVolution," or the "Company") (NYSE: FINV), a leading fintech platform in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

      Second Quarter 2020 Financial and Operational Highlights

      • Net revenue increased by 10.3% to RMB1,810.5 million (US$256.3 million) for the second quarter of 2020, from RMB1,641.9 million in the same period of 2019.
      • Operating profit was RMB567.2 million (US$80.3 million) for the second quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 26.1% from RMB767.6 million in the same period of 2019.
      • Non-GAAP adjusted operating profit[1], which excludes share-based compensation expenses before tax, was RMB575.9 million (US$81.5 million) for the second quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 26.1% from RMB779.4 million in the same period of 2019.
      • Cumulative registered users[2] reached approximately 110.4 million as of June 30, 2020.
      • Cumulative number of borrowers[3] was approximately 18.4 million as of June 30, 2020.
      • Number of unique borrowers[4] was approximately 1.6 million for the second quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 55.1% compared to 3.5 million in the same period of 2019.
      • Loan origination volume[5] was approximately RMB13.1 billion for the second quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 39.2% compared to 21.6 billion in the same period of 2019.
      • Repeat borrowing rate[6] was 92.4% for the second quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 20.3% compared to 76.8% in the same period of 2019.
      • Average loan size[7] was RMB 3,867 for the second quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 27.7% compared to RMB 3,029 in the same period of 2019.
      • Average loan tenure[8] was 8.3 months for the second quarter of 2020.

      Mr. Feng Zhang, the Chief Executive Officer of FinVolution, commented, "We are pleased to report healthy and solid results for the second quarter of 2020, thanks to the timely measures we adopted in response to the pandemic outbreak, the subsequent gradual economic recovery in China since the beginning of the second quarter, and our unwavering focus on comprehensive credit risk controls.

      Encouragingly, our constant efforts in strengthening risk management have led to improvements in delinquency rates across the platform for newly facilitated loans. Coupled with our strategic efforts to serve better quality borrowers, our continuous investment in risk assessment technology like our Magic Mirror, the delinquency rates of our recent vintages are expected to be significantly lower than those in the past few years.

      Our institutional funding partners have been supportive. Funding on our platform remains ample and funding cost continues to demonstrate gradual ongoing improvement. Going forward, we expect further decline in funding cost as we continue to focus on improving profitability.

      As part of our strategy to leverage our technology capabilities to enable new businesses in the financial services industry, we recently launched LY Fortune, our new wealth management initiative. LY Fortune will leverage our technology, our growing relationships with financial institutions and our extensive experience and know-how in serving retail investors. We see tremendous opportunities in the technology-enabled wealth management market in China.

      "With over a decade of proven operational track record in applying technology and innovation into financial solutions, and managing risk prudently, FinVolution is well positioned to navigate challenges and unlock the vast potential in China's enormous consumer finance and fintech markets," concluded Mr. Zhang.

      Mr. Simon Ho, the Chief Financial Officer of FinVolution, commented, "In the second quarter, despite the continued challenging operating environment brought upon by the COVID-19, we delivered non-GAAP operating profit[9] of RMB575.9 million representing an increase of 24.2% quarter-on-quarter, further demonstrating the sustained profitability of our core business model. Our balance sheet and liquidity remain strong with RMB3.4 billion of cash and short-term liquidity. Harnessing our strong technology, we are actively exploring and grasping new opportunities with further expanded and deepened relationships with business partners."

      Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

      Net revenue for the second quarter of 2020 increased by 10.3% to RMB1,810.5 million (US$256.3 million) from RMB1,641.9 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the adoption of ASC 326. Before the adoption of ASC 326, gains 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 were recorded within expenses. 

      Loan facilitation service fees decreased by 56.9% to RMB404.7 million (US$57.3 million) for the second quarter of 2020 from RMB939.8 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.

      Post-facilitation service fees decreased by 51.5% to RMB153.2 million (US$21.7 million) for the second quarter of 2020 from RMB315.8 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the decline in outstanding loans serviced by the Company and the rolling impact of deferred transaction fees.

      Guarantee income was RMB821.2 million (US$116.2 million) for the second quarter of 2020 due to the adoption of ASC 326. After the adoption of ASC 326, the guarantee liabilities of quality assurance commitment are released as a revenue systematically over the term of the loans subject to quality assurance commitment.

      Net interest income was RMB333.2 million (US$47.2 million) for the second quarter of 2020, compared to RMB274.4 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to increased interest income from the expansion in the outstanding loan balances of consolidated trusts. 

      Other revenue decreased by 12.3% to RMB98.2 million (US$13.9 million) for the second quarter of 2020 from RMB112.0 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to a decrease in management fees from investment programs that invest in loans protected by the quality assurance fund. This was attributable to the winding down of the Company's investment programs since the fourth quarter of 2019 as a result of the Company's decision to discontinue offering online information intermediary service to individual investors.

      Origination and servicing expenses decreased by 11.3% to RMB272.3 million (US$38.5 million) for the second quarter of 2020 from RMB307.0 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to (i) a decrease in salaries and benefits as a result of a decrease in headcount, and (ii) a decrease in referral fees paid to third parties for successful loan originations as the volume of loans facilitated by the Company declined.

      Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 69.0% to RMB66.7 million (US$9.4 million) for the second quarter of 2020 from RMB215.2 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the decrease in online customer acquisition expenses as a result of the decline in newly registered users on the Company's platform.

      Research and development expenses decreased by 17.9% at RMB83.4 million (US$11.8 million) for the second quarter of 2020, compared to RMB101.6 million in the same period of 2019, due to a more streamlined team in technology related departments.

      General and administrative expenses remained relatively stable at RMB102.0 million (US$14.4 million) for the second quarter of 2020 compared to RMB102.6 million in the same period of 2019.

      Provision for accounts receivables was RMB23.2 million (US$3.3 million) for the second quarter of 2020, compared with RMB68.3 million in the same period of 2019 as a result of the decline in loan origination volume.

      Provision for loans receivables was RMB119.8 million (US$17.0 million) for the second quarter of 2020, compared with RMB79.6 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 the increased number of consolidated trusts in the quarter.

      Credit losses for quality assurance commitment were RMB575.8 million (US$81.5 million) for the second quarter of 2020 due to the adoption of ASC 326. After the adoption of ASC 326, the expected credit losses of quality assurance commitment will be accounted for in addition to and separately from the guarantee liabilities accounted for under ASC 460.

      Operating profit decreased by 26.1% to RMB567.2 million (US$80.3 million) for the second quarter of 2020 from RMB767.6 million in the same period of 2019.

      Non-GAAP adjusted operating profit, which excludes share-based compensation expenses before tax, was RMB575.9 million (US$81.5 million) for the second quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 26.1% from RMB779.4 million in the same period of 2019.

      Other income increased by 23.8% to RMB34.3 million (US$4.9 million) for the second quarter of 2020, from RMB27.7 million in the same period of 2019. For the second quarter of 2020, other income primarily consisted of government grants.

      Changes in Board of Directors

      The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has approved the resignation of Mr. Ronald Cao, a member of the Board effective August 24, 2020. Mr. Ron Cao's resignation was due to personal reasons.

      Company's Share Repurchase Update

      The Company has repurchased approximately 15.1 million American depositary shares ("ADSs") between May 2020 and August 24, 2020. As of August 24 2020, the Company has cumulatively deployed approximately US$111.0 million to repurchase its ADSs under the Company's share repurchase program with a total authorized amount of up to US$120 million.

      FinVolution Group's Chairman Share Purchase Update

      Mr. Shaofeng Gu, the Chairman and Chief Innovation Officer of the Company, has informed the Company on August 11, 2020 that he had continued to purchase in his personal capacity 1.46 million of the Company's ADSs in the second quarter of 2020. The purchases were made during an open window period and in full compliance with all company and legal guidelines. As of June 30, 2020, Mr. Shaofeng Gu beneficially owned 412,257,375 ordinary shares, representing approximately 27.7% of beneficial ownership in the Company.

      Business Outlook

      As China gradually recovers from the aftermath of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company has continued to experience improvements in delinquency trends for newly facilitated loans. The Company will continue to closely monitor the global development of the pandemic and remain agile in its business operations. The Company holds a cautiously optimistic view on its operations and expects its loan origination volume in the third quarter of 2020 to be in the range of RMB15 billion to RMB16 billion.   

      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.

      Regulations Update

      On August 20, 2020, the Supreme People's Court of China promulgated the Decisions of the Supreme People's Court to Amend the Provisions on Several Issues concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Private Lending Cases[10], or the Decisions, as effective on the same date, pursuant to which (i) the upper limit of interest rate for one-year private loan would be capped at four times that of the loan prime rate ("LPR"). Based on the latest LPR, the ceiling would be lowered to 15.4% from a range of 24% to 36% under a previous judicial interpretation in 2015. (ii) in the context of lending activities between individuals, entities or other organizations that are not licensed financial institutions, if the interest rate of a loan exceeds 15.4% per annum, the exceeding part will not be supported and enforceable in the PRC judicial system. (iii) and it does not apply to the disputes arising out of loans funded by financial institutions or its branches which are licensed by financial regulatory authorities. However, according to the Notice on Regulating and Rectifying "Cash Loan" Business promulgated by the Internet Finance Rectification Office and the Online Lending Rectification Office in December 2017, financial institutions cooperating with third parties to engage in lending businesses should comply with the judicial interpretations by the Supreme People's Court of China regarding the upper limit of interest rates in private loans when calculating the annual borrowing cost charged to a borrower.   

      Substantially all of the institutional partners that the Company currently cooperates with on the platform for funding new loans origination are financial institutions licensed by financial regulatory authorities. Since the promulgation of the Decisions, the Company has made adjustments to cap the annualized total borrowing costs of newly originated loans charged to its borrowers on the platform within the permitted upper limit pursuant to the Decisions. As this will result in a general decline in the borrowing costs to borrowers on the platform, our business, results of operations and future growth may be subject to uncertainty.

      [10] For the complete text of the Decisions, please refer to http://www.court.gov.cn/fabu-xiangqing-249031.html.

      [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.
