      SHANGHAI, Nov. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- FinVolution Group ("FinVolution," or the "Company") (NYSE: FINV), a leading fintech platform in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

      Third Quarter 2020 Financial and Operational Highlights

      • Net revenue increased by 12.6% to RMB1,793.3 million (US$264.1 million) for the third quarter of 2020, from RMB1,592.5 million in the same period of 2019.
      • Operating profit was RMB689.0 million (US$101.5 million) for the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 6.2% from RMB648.9 million in the same period of 2019.
      • Non-GAAP adjusted operating profit[1], which excludes share-based compensation expenses before tax, was RMB697.6 million (US$102.8 million) for the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 6.1% from RMB657.8 million in the same period of 2019.
      • Cumulative registered users[2] reached approximately 112.8 million as of September 30, 2020.
      • Cumulative number of borrowers[3] was approximately 18.6 million as of September 30, 2020.
      • Number of unique borrowers[4] was approximately 1.9 million for the third quarter of 2020.
      • Loan origination volume[5] was approximately RMB17.0 billion for the third quarter of 2020.
      • Repeat borrowing rate[6] was 89.7% for the third quarter of 2020, compared to 79.4% in the same period of 2019.
      • Average loan size[7] was RMB 4,095 for the third quarter of 2020, compared to RMB 3,156 in the same period of 2019.
      • Average loan tenure[8] was 8.3 months for the third quarter of 2020.

      Mr. Feng Zhang, the Chief Executive Officer of FinVolution, commented, "We are pleased to report continued progress in our results as we continue our shift to attracting higher quality customers. Our reported operational and financial performance were better-than-expected in the third quarter of 2020, a further testament to the agility and robustness of our core capabilities. As China gradually emerges from the aftermath of COVID-19, our loan business recovery has been gathering momentum. Our loan origination volume in Mainland China for the third quarter reached over RMB17 billion[5], representing a 30% increase quarter-over-quarter and exceeding the top end of our previous guidance range.

      "Encouragingly, our continual efforts to enhance our technological capabilities and strengthen our risk management have led to significant improvements in delinquency rates across the platform in particular for newly facilitated loans. Due to the shift to better quality customer cohort, our vintage delinquency[9] in the most recent quarter is expected to be significantly lower compared to the past several years.

      "Our institutional funding partners continue to be supportive with ample funding and ongoing improvement in funding cost. Going forward, we expect further enhancement in funding cost as we continue to deepen our relationships with our partners.

      "As part of our ongoing strategy to leverage our technological capabilities to support new  initiatives, our international operations gained significant traction. We are excited to report that our loan volume in Indonesia experienced a strong rebound from the depressed levels in the second quarter and is now much higher than pre-COVID-19 levels. We expect this strong  momentum to continue moving forward.

      "With a long and proven track record in technology innovation, responsive risk management insights and effective measures taken to navigate across credit and economic cycles, we believe our focus on our core strengths and fundamentals, coupled with our strong culture of innovation, sets a solid foundation for our sustainable operation and unlocks the vast potential in the consumer finance markets in China and internationally," concluded Mr. Zhang.

      Mr. Simon Ho, the Chief Financial Officer of FinVolution, commented, "In the third quarter, amid a recovering COVID-19 environment in Mainland China, we delivered non-GAAP operating profit[10] of RMB697.6 million representing an increase of 21.1% quarter-over-quarter, and further demonstrating the resilience of our core business model. Our balance sheet and liquidity remain strong with RMB3.4 billion of cash and short-term liquidity. Armed with strong technological capabilities, and a conservative balance sheet, FinVolution is well positioned to capture additional opportunities in the evolving environment."

      Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

      Net revenue for the third quarter of 2020 increased by 12.6% to RMB1,793.3 million (US$264.1 million) from RMB1,592.5 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. The increase in net revenue was partially offset by the decline in loan origination volume and decrease in average rate of transaction fees.

      Loan facilitation service fees decreased by 45.6% to RMB486.3 million (US$71.6 million) for the third quarter of 2020 from RMB893.6 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. 

      Post-facilitation service fees decreased by 46.3% to RMB161.4 million (US$23.8 million) for the third quarter of 2020 from RMB300.7 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 RMB747.1 million (US$110.0 million) for the third 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 decreased by 24.4% to RMB260.9 million (US$38.4 million) for the third quarter of 2020, from RMB345.0 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to decreased interest income from the reduction in the outstanding loan balances of consolidated trusts and the decrease in interest rates. 

      Other revenue increased by 158.6% to RMB137.6 million (US$20.3 million) for the third quarter of 2020 from RMB53.2 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to increased customer referral fees to other third-party service providers. 

      Origination and servicing expenses increased by 2.0% to RMB338.9 million (US$49.9 million) for the third quarter of 2020 from RMB332.1 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to an increase in fees paid to third party service providers.

      Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 49.7% to RMB115.3 million (US$17.0 million) for the third quarter of 2020 from RMB229.2 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.

      General and administrative expenses decreased by 15.5% to RMB105.4 million (US$15.5 million) for the third quarter of 2020 compared to RMB124.8 million in the same period of 2019, due to improved operating efficiency.

      Research and development expenses decreased by 14.1% at RMB93.0 million (US$13.7 million) for the third quarter of 2020, compared to RMB108.2 million in the same period of 2019, due to a more streamlined team in technology related departments.

      Credit losses for quality assurance commitment were RMB326.6 million (US$48.1 million) for the third 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.

      Provision for loans receivables was RMB90.0 million (US$13.3 million) for the third quarter of 2020, compared with RMB80.1 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 provisions for new international business.

      Provision for accounts receivables and other receivables decreased by 49.3% to RMB35.1 million (US$5.2 million) for the third quarter of 2020, compared with RMB69.2 million in the same period of 2019 as a result of the decline in loan origination volume and improvement in delinquency rates, which was partially offset by provision provided on other receivables.

      Operating profit increased by 6.2% to RMB689.0 million (US$101.5 million) for the third quarter of 2020 from RMB648.9 million in the same period of 2019.

      Non-GAAP adjusted operating profit, which excludes share-based compensation expenses before tax, was RMB697.6 million (US$102.8 million) for the third quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 6.1% from RMB657.8 million in the same period of 2019.

      [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.
