We look forward to a strengthened regulatory framework around online consumer lending; as an industry leader PPDAI is well positioned to benefit from industry consolidation and the huge opportunity in China's consumer lending industry."

Mr. Feng Zhang, Co-Chief Executive Officer of PPDAI, said, "In the first quarter of 2019, we continued to diversify our funding sources and expand our base of institutional funding partners.

First Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Operating revenues for the first quarter of 2019 increased by 52.6% to RMB1,458.3 million (US$217.3 million) from RMB955.4 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to the increase in loan facilitation service fees and interest income from loans invested mainly through trusts.

Loan facilitation service fees increased by 51.2% to RMB938.6 million (US$139.9 million) for the first quarter of 2019 from RMB620.8 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to the increase in loan origination volume.

Post-facilitation service fees increased by 35.6% to RMB308.1 million (US$45.9 million) for the first quarter of 2019 from RMB227.2 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to the increase in loan origination volume and the rolling impact of deferred transaction fees.

Net interest income/(expenses) and loan provision losses for the first quarter of 2019 were an income of RMB133.3 million (US$19.9 million), compared to an income of RMB38.6 million in the same period of 2018, mainly due to the increased interest income from the expansion in the number of consolidated trusts established.

Other revenue increased by 13.9% to RMB78.3 million (US$11.7 million) for the first quarter of 2019 from RMB68.8 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in management fees from investment programs that invest in loans protected by the quality assurance fund and an increase in loan collection fees

Origination and servicing expenses increased by 6.8% to RMB264.0 million (US$39.3 million) for the first quarter of 2019 from RMB247.1 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in fees paid to third party providers for loan collection services and an increase in referral fees paid to third parties for successful loan originations.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 4.6% to RMB144.2 million (US$21.5 million) for the first quarter of 2019 from RMB151.1 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to the decline in online customer acquisition expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased by 51.1% to RMB107.2 million (US$16.0 million) for the first quarter of 2019 from RMB70.9 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in fees paid to third-parties for trust and other services. General and administrative expenses for the period included share-based compensation of RMB12.1 million(US$1.8 million).

Research and development expenses increased by 17.6% to RMB87.7 million (US$13.1 million) for the first quarter of 2019 from RMB74.6 million in the same period of 2018 primarily due to increased investments in technology.

Provision for doubtful accounts increased by 419.1% to RMB60.4 million (US$9.0 million) for the first quarter of 2019 from RMB11.6 million in the same period of 2018 due to the increase in loan origination volume.

Other income was RMB49.6 million (US$7.4 million) for the first quarter of 2019, compared with other income of RMB132.1 million in the same period of 2018. Other income primarily consisted of (1) a gain of RMB34.1 million (US$5.1 million) from the quality assurance fund and (2) a realized loss of RMB10.1 million (US$1.5 million) from financial guarantee derivatives due to the amount of investment programs maturing during the period. The Company re-evaluates the fair value of outstanding financial guarantee derivatives at each balance sheet date to reflect the views of market participants on the expected default rate based on the latest market changes. For the first quarter of 2019, RMB15.6 billion of loans facilitated on the Company's platform were protected by the quality assurance fund.

                  [1] We have adopted ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases," beginning January 1, 2019 and elected to utilize a modified retrospective approach which allowed
    us to initially apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained
    earnings of 2019, with no adjustments to prior periods presented. No cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings
    were made. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material effect on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
