Mr. Haisheng Wu, Chief Executive Officer and Director of 360 DigiTech, commented, “We have witnessed modest improvement in a challenging macro environment during the quarter although some uncertainties remained. In the third quarter, total facilitation and origination volume was RMB110.7 billion, up approximately 13% year-on-year. During the quarter, we also added approximately 1.7 million new users with approved credit lines, a 19% sequential increase, while keeping the overall sales and marketing expenses around the same level. Our consistent execution enabled us to strike a desired balance between growth in business and exposure to macro risks. Approximately 58% of the loans was facilitated under the capital-light model, ICE and other technology solutions*12. The increased contribution from non-credit risk bearing services helped us further mitigate near term risks and volatilities, and brought us closer to long term sustainable technology driven business models.
During the quarter, we continued our efforts to optimize our user base to lower overall credit risks and higher user retention. Such efforts not only enabled us to continue improving risk metrics against macro uncertainties, but also allowed us to offer better priced products to users. Average IRR of the loans originated and facilitated through our platform further optimized to well below 24% rate cap requirement in the third quarter. In addition, we continued to expand our partnership with larger financial institutions with national operations, and with readily available liquidity in the financial system, we meaningfully lowered overall funding costs during the quarter.
On the regulatory front, as one of the leading Credit-Tech platforms, we have substantially completed most of the rectification measures to our operations based on our self-examination results in accordance with regulatory guidance. The regulatory authorities have reviewed our rectification measures in general. We note regulators’ recent comments regarding gradually shifting focus from self-examination and rectification to regular regulatory supervision in many aspects of platform operations and we are also encouraged to see continued supportive statements for platform economy by various regulators.”
“We are pleased to report another quarter of solid financial results in a changing macro environment. Total revenue was RMB4.14 billion and non-GAAP net income was RMB1.04 billion,” Mr. Alex Xu, Chief Financial Officer, commented. “During the quarter, although we experienced some recovery in demand for consumer credit, the pace and magnitude of the rebound were modest. With the sporadic resurgence of and subsequent restrictive measures to contain COVID-19 across the country, we intend to continue to take a prudent approach to manage our business growth and risks. At the end of the third quarter, our total cash and cash equivalent*13 was approximately RMB10.8 billion, and we generated approximately RMB1.6 billion cash from operations. Our strong financial positions further strengthen our capability to navigate through near term economic challenges.”
Mr. Yan Zheng, Chief Risk Officer, added, “We continued to lower our risk exposure by optimizing our user base to focus on relatively higher quality groups in the third quarter. Among key leading indicators, Day-1 delinquency*14 further improved to 4.5% from 4.9% quarter-on-quarter, another historic low. With the continued adjustment in our collection operation, 30-day collection rates*15 reached the best level for the year during the quarter. Despite the still challenging macro conditions, our commitment to further optimize our user base should help us mitigate some impact on risk metrics from the economic uncertainties for the rest of the year.”
12 We’ve mainly used data technology tools and AI credit assessment systems in the process of providing such services as loan facilitation, post-facilitation and borrowers’ referral to our customers. Revenues from these technology powered services accounted for 43% of our total net revenue for the third quarter 2022.

Referral services fees were RMB85.4 million (US$12.0 million), compared to RMB156.3 million in the same period of 2021 and RMB135.4 million in the prior quarter.

General and administrative expenses were RMB102.7 million (US$14.4 million), compared to RMB173.0 million in the same period of 2021 and RMB93.9 million in the prior quarter.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement
To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measure, which is adjusted from results based on U.S. GAAP to exclude share-based compensation expenses. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to our U.S. GAAP financial measures are set forth in tables at the end of this earnings release, which provide more details on the non-GAAP financial measures.
We use non-GAAP income from operation, non-GAAP operation margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income margin, Non-GAAP net income attributed to the Company and Non-GAAP net income per fully diluted ADS in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Non-GAAP income from operation represents income from operation excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP net income represents net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, non-GAAP net income attributed to the Company represents net income attributed to the Company excluding share-based compensation expenses and non-GAAP net income per fully diluted ADS represents net income per fully diluted ADS excluding share-based compensation. Such adjustments have no impact on income tax. We believe that non-GAAP income from operation and non-GAAP net income help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that we include in results based on U.S. GAAP. We believe that non-GAAP income from operation and non-GAAP net income provide useful information about our 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. Our non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP results. In addition, our calculation of non-GAAP financial information may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.
