We strongly believe this will further strengthen our brand name, increase trust in our platform, and demonstrate our commitment to higher corporate governance standard."

"We believe there is tremendous potential to utilize internet and big data technology to serve unmet personal finance needs in China. The economic outlook over the near-term remains uncertain as China's credit environment continues to shift and create new challenges. Our key focus is to generate shareholder value and deliver healthy revenue and net income growth while operating our business under the highest compliance standards. We continue to strengthen risk controls across our platform, leveraging our strong big data analysis, financial modeling, credit assessment and fraud detection capabilities. We were one of the first P2P platforms to submit our P2P Compliance Self-Inspection Report before the deadline, the first step in becoming fully compliant with the industry reforms the government has been rolling out through the National P2P Rectification Office. We fully support the government's initiatives and are working closely with them to create a healthier and more sustainable environment for the personal finance industry."

"We strongly believe that we are ideally positioned to benefit from the enormous growth opportunities in China's personal finance industry and will continue to better serve our individual customers and small-and-medium sized enterprises in order to generate long-term sustainable value for our shareholders."

Mr. Kevin Zhang, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, added, "We delivered solid results despite a difficult market environment. Our business began to recover in August following the lows we saw in July when market turmoil was at its peak. We expect the market environment to continue to improve steadily going forward. We continue to invest heavily in our risk management systems, product development, mobile platforms, and big data analysis capabilities to further strengthen our credit rating algorithms and ability to carefully manage risk." 

Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results

Net revenues in the third quarter of 2018 increased by 83% to RMB829.5 million (US$120.8 million) from RMB452.8 million in the same period of 2017, primarily due to a change in product mix resulting from a significant increase in the proportion of the revenue generated by Xiaoying Card Loan, which carries a higher service fee rate compared to the Company's other products.

Loan facilitation service fees under the direct model in the third quarter of 2018 increased by 115% to RMB678.6 million (US$98.8 million) from RMB315.2 million in the same period of 2017, primarily due to a change in product mix and a shift in strategy to focus on loan facilitation services through the direct model following the cessation of the online intermediary model in April 2017 and a portion of the offline intermediary model with funding from banking financial institution partners in February 2018 to comply with recent regulatory requirements.

Loan facilitation service fees under the intermediary model in the third quarter of 2018 decreased by 12% to RMB53.4 million (US$7.8 million) from RMB60.9 million in the same period of 2017, primarily due to a decrease in the total volume of products offered under the intermediary model as the Company shifts its strategy to focus on loan facilitation services through the direct model.

Post-origination servicefees in the third quarter of 2018 increased by 292% to RMB46.4 million (US$6.7 million) from RMB11.8 million in the same period of 2017, primarily due to a significant increase in transaction volumes in 2017 and the first three quarters of 2018. Revenues from post-origination services are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying loans as the services are provided.

Financing income in the third quarter of 2018 decreased by 77% to RMB9.2 million (US$1.3 million) from RMB39.2 million in the same period of 2017, primarily due to the expiration of a portion of the consolidated trusts administered by unrelated third-party trust companies that were offered to investors through the Company's consolidated trust business.

Other revenue in the third quarter of 2018 increased by 63% to RMB41.9 million (US$6.1 million) from RMB25.6 million in the same period of 2017, primarily due to an increase in penalty fees.

Origination and servicing expenses in the third quarter of 2018 increased by 40% to RMB284.6 million (US$41.4 million) from RMB203.3 million in the same period of 2017, primarily due to an increase in commission fees and share-based compensation expenses for share options granted after September 30, 2017, and an increase in collection expenses resulting from the increase in loan transactions during the first half of 2018.

General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2018 increased by 218% to RMB67.6 million (US$9.8 million) from RMB21.2 million in the same period of 2017, primarily due to an increase in share-based compensation expenses, professional consulting fees, and higher rental fees associated with the Company's new offices.

Sales and marketing expenses in the third quarter of 2018 increased by 97% to RMB45.3 million (US$6.6 million) from RMB23.1 million in the same period of 2017, primarily due to an increase in advertising campaigns aimed at strengthening the Company's image.

Provision for contingent guarantee liabilities in the third quarter of 2018 increased by 100% to RMB33.6 million (US$4.9 million) from nil in the same period of 2017, primarily due to a challenging credit environment. Xiaoying Preferred Loan was adversely impacted by sentiment across the industry resulting from closing of a number of troubled online lending platforms during the third quarter of 2018.

Provision for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets in the third quarter of 2018 increased by 93% to RMB 115.7 million (US $ 16.9 million) from RMB 60.1 million in the same period of 2017, primarily due to the significant increase of revenue in this quarter compared with same quarter of last year and partially affected by the change of the estimated default rates.

Income from operations in the third quarter of 2018 increased by 89% to RMB274.5 million (US$40.0 million) from RMB145.2 million in the same period of 2017.

Income before income taxes and gain (loss) from equity in affiliates in the third quarter of 2018 was RMB230.3 million (US$33.5 million), compared with RMB141.0 million in the same period of 2017.

Income tax expense in the third quarter of 2018 was RMB34.4 million (US$5.0 million), compared with RMB40.7 million in the same period of 2017. The decrease was primarily due to the corporate income tax rate applicable to a major subsidiary of the Company being adjusted to 15% and a pre-tax deduction for research and development expenses recorded in the third quarter of 2018.

Net income attributable to the Company in the third quarter of 2018 was RMB197.9 million (US$28.8 million), compared to RMB100.3 million in the same period of 2017.

Non-GAAP net income in the third quarter of 2018 was RMB248.5 million (US$36.2 million), compared to RMB113.2 million in the same period of 2017.

Basic and diluted earnings per ADS in the third quarter of 2018 were RMB1.40(US$0.20) and RMB1.30(US$0.18), respectively, compared to RMB0.72 and RMB0.66, respectively, in the same period of 2017.

Non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per ADS in the third quarter of 2018 were RMB1.76(US$0.26) and RMB1.64(US$0.24), respectively, compared to RMB0.82 and RMB0.76, respectively, in the same period of 2017.

Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2018 was RMB1,464.2 million (US$213.2 million), compared with RMB622.9 million as of June 30, 2018.

Business Outlook

X Financial currently expects total loan facilitation amount for the fourth quarter of 2018 and the full year 2018 to be in the range of RMB8,000 million to RMB8,500 million, and RMB35,400 million to RMB35,900 million, respectively. This forecast reflects the Company's current and preliminary views, which are subject to changes.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement

In evaluating our business, we consider and use adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, as supplemental measure to review and assess our operating performance. We present the non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We also believe that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors' assessment of our operating performance.

This non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This Non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, investors should not consider it 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 measure to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, 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 this Non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results" set forth at the end of this press release.
