Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Total amount of loans facilitated in the second quarter of 2017 was RMB 8,189.6 million (US$1,208.0 million), increased by 80% year over year from RMB 4,538.7 million in the same period last year, reflecting strong demand for our products and services, especially from customers acquired from online channels. As of June 30, 2017, the Yirendai platform had facilitated approximately RMB 47.4 billion (US$7.0 billion) in loan principal since its inception.

Total net revenue in the second quarter of 2017 was RMB 1,183.1 million (US$174.5 million), increased by 61% from RMB 733.8 million in the same period last year. The increase of total net revenue was mainly attributable to the growth of loan origination volume, increased service fees billed to investors and increased monthly fees billed to borrowers as our remaining loan balance continued to expand.

Total fees billed (non-GAAP) in the second quarter of 2017 were RMB 1,862.5 million (US$274.7 million), increased by 68% from RMB 1,110.8 million in the same period last year, driven by the growth of loan origination volume. Upfront fees billed to borrowers in the second quarter of 2017 were RMB 1,538.0 million (US$226.9 million), increased by 51% from RMB 1,016.4 million in the same period last year. Monthly fees billed to borrowers in the second quarter of 2017 were RMB 215.2 million (US$31.7 million), increased by 171% from RMB 79.4 million in the same period last year. The significant year-over-year increase in monthly fees billed to borrowers was primarily attributable to the increase in loans generated from online channels, which features a fee collection schedule with monthly payments in addition to the upfront portion. Service fees billed to investors in the second quarter of 2017 were RMB 222.8 million (US$32.9 million), increased by 153% from RMB 88.1 million in the same period last year. The significant year-over-year increase in service fees billed to investors was primarily attributable to the increase in the total investment amount under management.

Operating costs and expenses in the second quarter of 2017 were RMB 809.6 million (US$119.4 million), increased by 29% from RMB 628.7 million in the previous quarter and compared to RMB 471.1 million in the same period last year.

Sales and marketing expenses in the second quarter of 2017 were RMB 617.9 million (US$91.1 million), increased by 32% from RMB 469.4 million in the previous quarter and compared to RMB 355.2 million in the same period last year. Sales and marketing expenses in the second quarter of 2017 accounted for 7.5% of amount of loans facilitated, increased from 6.8% in the previous quarter and decreased from 7.8% in the same period last year. Sales and marketing expenses have decreased as a percentage of loan volume on a year-over-year basis primarily due to improvements in customer acquisition efficiency.

Origination and servicing costs in the second quarter of 2017 were RMB 93.1 million (US$13.7 million), compared to RMB 58.8 million in the previous quarter and RMB 42.5 million in the same period last year. Origination and servicing costs in the second quarter of 2017 accounted for 1.1% of amount of loans facilitated, increased from 0.8% in the previous quarter and 0.9% in the same period last year. Origination and servicing costs increased due to our enhanced efforts in loan collection this quarter.

General and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2017 were RMB 98.6 million (US$14.5 million), compared to RMB 100.5 million in the previous quarter and RMB 73.3 million in the same period last year. General and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2017 accounted for 8.3% of total net revenue, compared to 9.8% in the previous quarter and 10.0% in the same period last year. The decrease in general and administrative expenses as percentage of total net revenue was primarily attributable to improved operational efficiency and leverage, despite our increased level of investment in technology development.

Income tax expense in the second quarter of 2017 was RMB 130.4 million (US$19.2 million), which includes a RMB 60 million (US$8.85 million) withholding tax expense resulting from the special cash dividend declared.

As of June 30, 2017, liabilities from quality assurance program were RMB 1,961.3 million (US$289.3 million).

Delinquency rates. As of June 30, 2017, the delinquency rates for loans that are past due for 15-29 days, 30-59 days and 60-89 days were 0.4%, 0.7% and 0.5%, as compared to 0.4%, 0.8% and 0.6% as of March 31, 2017.

As the 2015 and 2016 vintage loans continue to mature, the charge off level is consistent with our risk performance expectation.

Recent Development

Yiren Score and Upgraded Risk Grid

As a leader in China's fintech industry, the Company strives to uphold industry best practices for all aspects of its business. The Company is pleased to see the continuous progress it has made in refining its credit scoring model to deliver more precise and accurate credit assessment of loan applicants. The Company launched in the second quarter of 2017 its new credit scoring system, the Yiren score, which can be used to more accurately characterize borrower's credit profile. The Company has also decided to adopt, starting May 1, 2017, an upgraded risk grid with five segments - Grade I, Grade II, Grade III, Grade IV and Grade V. The expected net charge off rate and actual observed results for each of these customer groups divide potential borrowers into distinctively different credit segments.

The following table summarizes the upgraded risk grades with the corresponding Yiren scores, the volume mix in the second quarter of 2017, the expected lifetime net charge off rate, the current annualized interest rate and the average transaction fee rate:

    (1) The annualized interest
     rate that borrowers pay to
     investors varies from 10.0%
     to 12.0%, depending on the
     term of the loan.

    (2) The transaction fee rate
     is calculated as the total
     transaction fee that the
     Company charges borrowers
     for the entire life of the
     loan, divided by the total
     amount of principal. The
     average transaction fee rate
     presented in the table above
     is the simple average of the
     transaction fee rates for
     loans falling under the same
     risk grade, but with
     different tenures and
     repayment schedules.

In the transition period from May 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017, the Company will use both the upgraded risk grid and the previous risk grid for loans facilitated on the Company's platform.

Amendment to Cash Contribution Rules for the Quality Assurance Program

To further enhance the Company's cash management, the Company has determined to amend cash contribution rules for the Program, effective July 1, 2017. The Company will contribute 30% of the transaction fee collected from the borrowers, following the actual fee collection schedule, over the life of the loan to a restricted bank account as a quality assurance service fee. The total contribution over the life of a loan is approximately equal to 8% of the loan contract amount, which is similar to the previous accrual ratio. The Company reserve the right to revise this percentage upwards or downwards from time to time as a result of continuing evaluation of factors such as market dynamics as well as of our product lines, profitability and cash position.

Dividend

On July 29, 2017, the board of directors (the "Board") of the Company approved a special cash dividend of RMB 5.0845 (US$0.75) per ordinary share of the Company (or RMB 10.1690 (US$1.50) per American depositary share of the Company), which is expected to be paid on October 16, 2017 to holders of the Company's ordinary shares of record as of the close of business on September 29, 2017.

On July 29, 2017, the Board also approved a semi-annual dividend policy. Under this policy, semi-annual dividends will be set at an amount equivalent to approximately 15% of the Company's anticipated net income after tax in each half year commencing from the second half of 2017. The determination to declare and pay such semi-annual dividend and the amount of dividend in any particular half year will be made at the discretion of the Board and will be based upon the Company's operations and earnings, cash flow, financial condition and other relevant factors that the Board may deem appropriate.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses several non-GAAP financial measures, such as fees billed, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental measures to review and assess operating performance. We believe that fees billed and adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information about our core operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in our financial and operational decision-making. The presentation of these 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. Other companies, including peer companies in the industry, may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as a comparative measure. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance. See "Operating Highlights and Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures" at the end of this press release.
