Mr. Kent Li, President of the Company, commented, "We are pleased to report another strong quarter, with loan volumes exceeding our forecast and a significant sequential improvement in asset quality. In the third quarter, we continued to promptly adjust loan volumes based on risk levels. As asset quality improved, we further intensified our borrower acquisition efforts, which have yielded very positive results. Both the top and bottom lines continued to grow year-over-year. Non-GAAP adjusted net income reached a new record high."

"Specifically on the operational front, our total loan amount facilitated and originated was down 4% year-on-year but up 25% sequentially to RMB28 billion, above the high end of our guidance. Delinquency rates for all outstanding loans past due for 31-60 days and 91-180 days were 1.02% and 3.22%, respectively, at the end of the quarter, compared to 1.29% and 4.38% a quarter ago and 1.11% and 2.50% a year ago. We are pleased with these improvements in asset quality and will continue to optimize our risk management system through advanced technology."

"In September this year, the Chinese government unveiled a comprehensive stimulus package aimed at improving liquidity, boosting the property market, stabilizing financial markets and stimulating consumption. We expect this will provide a meaningful boost to the macroeconomic recovery. As an integral part of the economy, the personal finance market we serve should benefit from this upturn. We have already observed positive signs in the market and are committed to adjusting loan volumes in line with risk levels. As a result of this favorable environment, we are raising our guidance and expect our monthly loan volume to exceed RMB10 billion in the fourth quarter, setting a new record."

Mr. Frank Fuya Zheng, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, added, "I'm pleased to report that our strategy of balancing business growth and profitability continued to pay off. Total net revenue was RMB1.6 billion, up 13% year-on-year and 15% sequentially, while non-GAAP adjusted net income reached a record high of RMB434 million, up 16% year-on-year and sequentially. As we continue to deliver strong profitability and execute on our proven strategy, we have full confidence in our future. We will continue to execute our semi-annual dividend policy and explore opportunities under our share repurchase program to return more value to our shareholders over the long term."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement

In evaluating our business, we consider and use non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. We present the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We believe that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors' assessment of our operating performance and help investors to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain income or expenses that we include in income (loss) from operations and net income (loss). We also believe that the non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our core operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

We use in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) adjusted net income (loss), (ii) adjusted net income (loss) per basic ADS, (iii) adjusted net income (loss) per diluted ADS, (iv) adjusted net income per basic share, and (v) adjusted net income per diluted share, each of which excludes share-based compensation expense, impairment losses on financial investments, income (loss) from financial investments and impairment losses on long-term investments. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We mitigate these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, which should be considered when evaluating our performance. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results" set forth at the end of this press release.

              [1] Starting in the first quarter of 2024, management has concluded to separate expenses related to borrower acquisitions from origination and servicing expenses and indirect expenses of the borrower acquisitions from general and administrative
    expenses to a single line item as theses expenses become more and more significant and thus deemed to be useful to financial statement users. Furtherly, management has determined to embed the sales and marketing expenses, which is not
    considered as material, in other line item. In conclusion, management has decided to combine these two line items into one captioned borrower acquisitions and marketing expenses. Management has correspondingly conformed prior period
    presentation to current period presentation to enhance comparability. This change in presentation does not affect any subtotal line on the face of consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
