Lending and Other Businesses
The Company's lending business utilizes an advanced risk-management system to assess and facilitate short-term loans to high quality borrowers, often secured with collateral. The total amount of loans originated during the fourth quarter of 2019 was RMB0.2 billion, compared with RMB4.2 billion in the corresponding period of 2018 as the Company reduced loan origination in response to market changes.
Mr. Yi Zhao, Group President of Noah, said, "The past year we experienced external pressures from economic downturn, turbulent situation in Hong Kong, Sino-US trade tensions and a changing financial regulatory landscape in China, and we have been proactively seeking paradigm transformation to meet our client's changing demand. From the third quarter, we ceased the offering of single-counterparty non-standardized credit products. I am encouraged by the robust momentum in our transition to offering more standardized products, and the healthy growth in the volume of our public securities transactions. We are happy to report the strong full year results, that the Group reached our Non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders guidance of RMB1 billion to RMB1.1 billion, and a Non-GAAP net margin of 30.6%, which demonstrate our strong capability and sustainability. Noah is well placed in China's wealth management and asset management industry, in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. We will continue our paradigm transformation in 2020, and further invest in our IT infrastructure to enhance user experience in providing diversified products and value-added services to high-net-worth clients in China and overseas."

Net cash inflow from the Company's operating activities during the fourth quarter of 2019 was RMB838.6 million (US$120.5 million), compared to net cash inflow of RMB511.3 million in the corresponding period in 2018. The increase was mainly due to changes in working capital. Net cash inflow from the Company's operating activities during the full year 2019 was RMB1,284.3 million (US$184.5 million), compared to RMB1,029.4 million during the full year 2018, driven by profit earned from business operations and enhanced collection of accounts receivables.
Net cash outflow from the Company's investing activities during the fourth quarter of 2019 was RMB179.9 million (US$25.8 million), compared to net cash outflow of RMB188.4 million in the corresponding period in 2018. Net cash outflow from the Company's investing activities during the full year 2019 was RMB178.1 million (US$25.6 million), compared to net cash outflow of RMB395.7 million during the full year 2018, due to fewer investments made in 2019.
Net cash inflow from the Company's financing activities was RMB136.3 million (US$19.6 million) in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to net cash inflow of RMB7.5 million in the corresponding period in 2018, primarily due to the capital contribution by non-controlling shareholders of a consolidated subsidiary. Net cash inflow from the Company's financing activities during the full year 2019 was RMB543.3 million (US$78.0 million), compared to RMB109.8 million cash inflow during the full year 2018. The cash inflow for 2019 was mainly due to the proceeds related to contribution of non-controlling interest.
NOTE TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION
As of the date of this press release, we are still in the process of reviewing the financial results of the funds of funds we manage and invest in as the general partner or manager. Any changes in the fair value of those investments could affect the income from equity in affiliates, net income, net income attributable to Noah shareholders, income per ADS and the balance of investments in affiliates in our consolidated financial statements. While not included in the unaudited preliminary fourth quarter 2019 financial results in this press release, we will include any such fair value adjustments in the audited consolidated financial statements in our 2019 Form 20-F and will make a subsequent announcement when our review conclude, as appropriate.
2020 FORECAST
The global outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) has notably slowed down the global economy. Despite the fact that various travel bans in China and cross border have put heavy constraints on the Company's face-to-face interactions with clients, the Company is excited to see a strong momentum in the transaction value of standardized products being offered. Hence, the Company remains reasonably optimistic about the recovery or even a moderate growth in its total transaction value in 2020 compared to 2019. In the meantime, as part of its overall transformation strategy, the Company has decided to further increase its investment in IT infrastructure and online platform development. This will primarily consist of the major upgrades of the Smiling Fund APP, the construction of the global version of Smiling Fund APP and the creation of a new SaaS system for institutional channels. The Company expects to spend around 3-5% of its total net revenue in such investment in 2020. Given the above considerations, the non-GAAP net income attributable to Noah shareholders for the full year 2020 will be in the range of RMB800 million to RMB900 million. This forecast reflects management's current business outlook and is subject to further change.

DISCUSSION ON NON-GAAP MEASURES
In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures excluding the effects of all forms of share-based compensation, fair value changes of equity investments (unrealized), adjustment for sale of equity securities and net of tax impact, if any. See "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results" at the end of this press release.
The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The financial results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be prepared differently from and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
When evaluating the Company's operating performance in the periods presented, management reviewed the foregoing non-GAAP net income attributable to Noah shareholders and per diluted ADS and non-GAAP net margin attributable to Noah shareholders to supplement U.S. GAAP financial data. As such, the Company's management believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to investors regarding financial and business trends relating to its results of operations in a manner consistent with that used by management.
