Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Net revenue for the third quarter of 2021 increased by 40.8% to RMB2,525.1 million (US$391.9 million) from RMB1,793.3 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the increase in loan facilitation service fees and post facilitation service fees.
Loan facilitation service fees increased by 121.1% to RMB1,075.1 million (US$166.8 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB486.3 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the increase in transaction volume.
Post-facilitation service fees increased by 123.8% to RMB361.2 million (US$56.1 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB161.4 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the increase in outstanding loans serviced by the Company and the rolling impact of deferred transaction fees.
Guarantee income was RMB644.5 million (US$100.0 million) for the third quarter of 2021 compared to RMB747.1 million in the same period of 2020, as a result of improved asset quality. The fair value of quality assurance commitment upon loan origination is released as guarantee income systematically over the term of the loans subject to quality assurance commitment. As we transitioned our business towards better quality borrowers, the fair value of quality assurance commitment upon loan origination decreased due to better asset quality which resulted in the decrease in guarantee income.
Net interest income increased by 27.5% to RMB332.6 million (US$51.6 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB260.9 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to increase in transaction volume originated in the international markets.
Other revenue decreased by 18.8% to RMB111.7 million (US$17.3 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB137.6 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the decrease in customer referral fees from other third-party platforms.
Origination and servicing expenses increased by 35.6% to RMB459.6 million (US$71.3 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB338.9 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the increase in employees’ expenditure and fees paid to third party service providers.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 236.1% to RMB387.5 million (US$60.1 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB115.3 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the increase in online customer acquisition expenses as a result of increased efforts in acquiring new borrowers on the Company’s platform.
Research and development expenses increased by 12.4% to RMB104.5 million (US$16.2 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB93.0 million in the same period of 2020, due to increased investments in technology development.
General and administrative expenses increased by 16.9% to RMB123.2 million (US$19.1 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB105.4 million in the same period of 2020, due to increased expenditures in employees benefits.
Provision for accounts receivables and other receivables decreased by 6.3% to RMB32.9 million (US$5.1 million) for the third quarter of 2021, from RMB35.1 million in the same period of 2020 as a result of improved credit quality partially offset by the increase in outstanding loan balances.
Provision for loans receivables was RMB142.5 million (US$22.1 million) for the third quarter of 2021, compared with RMB90.0 million in the same period of 2020, and the increase was primarily due to the higher transaction volume originated in international markets.
Credit losses for quality assurance commitment were RMB545.1 million (US$84.6 million) for the third quarter of 2021 compared to RMB326.6 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the increase in outstanding loan balances partially offset by improved asset quality.
Operating profit increased by 5.9% to RMB729.9 million (US$113.3 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB689.0 million in the same period of 2020.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating income, which excludes share-based compensation expenses before tax, was RMB751.3 million (US$116.6 million) for the third quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 7.7% from RMB697.6 million in the same period of 2020.
Other income decreased by 43.7% to RMB14.8 million (US$2.3 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB26.3 million in the same period of 2020, mainly due to fair value change of investments.
Income tax expenses were RMB112.2 million (US$17.4 million) for the third quarter of 2021, compared with RMB118.4 million in the same period of 2020, and the decrease was mainly due to change in preferential tax rate for certain qualified subsidiaries, partially offset by the increase in pre-tax profit.
Net profit was RMB632.4 million (US$98.2 million) for the third quarter of 2021, compared to RMB596.9 million in the same period of 2020.
Diluted net profit per ADS was RMB2.15 (US$0.33) and diluted net profit per share was RMB0.43 (US$0.07), an increase of 4.9% year over year. Non-GAAP diluted net profit per ADS was RMB2.21 (US$0.34) and Non-GAAP diluted net profit per share was RMB0.44 (US$0.07), an increase of 6.3% year over year. Each ADS represents five Class A ordinary shares of the Company.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB3,349.8 million (US$519.9 million) and short-term investments, mainly in wealth management products, of RMB1,738.6 million (US$269.8 million).

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use Non-GAAP operating profit, Non-GAAP basic and diluted net profit per share and per ADS which are Non-GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. We believe that adjusted operating profit helps identify underlying trends in our business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and expected discretionary measures. We believe that adjusted operating profit provides useful information about our operating results, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating profit, Non-GAAP basic and diluted net profit per share and per ADS are not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, cash flows or our liquidity, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net (loss)/income, cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operation and cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company encourages investors and others 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.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa met this week with Zambia’s former Vice President and Special Envoy Enoch Kavindele to discuss SADC’s candidate for the AfDB
President Mnangagwa, who is SADC Chairperson, reaffirmed his own country’s and SADC’s enthusiastic support for Zambian candidate Sam Maimbo
LUSAKA, Zambia, Dec. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Special Envoy Kavindele released the following statement following the meeting:
“I am elated to witness the growing success and momentum of Sam Maimbo’s candidacy to become the next President of the African Development Bank. I am filled with gratitude to our friends across both SADC and COMESA for their continued support and good wishes.
Sam has garnered such wide consensus due to his being uniquely qualified to deliver the transformative change and empowerment our continent needs. Sam’s 30 years in development work is defined by driving outcomes, improving processes, and investing in people. The AfDB needs a hands-on leader who is laser focused on delivering results and who is unafraid of making tough decisions in order to best serve our continent. Sam is that leader. Sam has the track record and experience to drastically enhance the pace, scale, and impact of the Bank’s work in service of the people and governments of Africa.
Our region has a proud history of supporting fellow Southern Africans. For example, we all recall Lusaka’s role in hosting the African National Congress’ headquarters during the dark days of Apartheid oppression.
It therefore gives me no pleasure to observe my South African brothers, who have themselves leant on Zambia’s steadfast friendship over many decades, fail to rally behind both SADC and COMESA’s chosen candidate for the AfDB. Africa’s urgent economic development challenges demand transformational leadership at the AfDB, it is all of our responsibility to put forward the best candidate for the job. This is not the time or place for a government to act with narrow self-interest, we all must act in the continent’s and AfDB’s best interest.
I thank Sam Maimbo for his lifelong service to our entire continent, and I am eager to witness his enormous impact as President of the AfDB.”
LONDON, Dec. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Heimdal Security shares a practical holiday cybersecurity checklist, offering expert insights to help businesses safeguard against cyber threats this festive season.
With reduced staffing, remote work setups, and a surge in online shopping creating heightened vulnerabilities, this guide offers actionable tips to enhance business security.
Going beyond basic advice, the checklist also highlights the most common holiday scams and features videos showcasing real-life examples of Christmas-themed cyber scams and effective prevention strategies.
Key Tips to Protect Businesses This Holiday Season:
- Strengthen endpoints: Ensure devices are updated with antivirus and endpoint protection software; consider Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and application whitelisting.
- Prepare for phishing spikes: Train staff to identify suspicious emails, enforce robust email filters, and establish protocols for reporting unusual activity.
- Secure remote access: Mandate VPN usage, monitor unusual logins, and deactivate inactive accounts temporarily.
- Segment and shield networks: Isolate sensitive areas, deploy DNS security and advanced firewalls, and maintain full visibility over network traffic.
- Apply timely patches: Regularly update all systems and test patches in a controlled environment to minimize disruptions.
- Mitigate supply chain risks: Assess vendors thoroughly and limit their access to essential systems.
- Have a response plan ready: Tailor incident protocols for the holidays, create an on-call rotation for the IT team, and enable rapid action against suspicious activity.
“ Cybercriminals thrive on holiday distractions, but with proactive measures like phishing training, secure endpoints, and network segmentation, businesses can stay ahead of potential threats,” said Alex Panait, System Administrator at Heimdal Security.
Common Holiday Scams That Businesses Should Watch For:
Cybercriminals often tailor their tactics to exploit the festive season. The most common scams include:
- Spear phishing: Emails disguised as holiday bonuses or event invitations that steal credentials or spread malware.
- Malicious holiday E-Cards: Festive greetings that contain links deploying ransomware or spyware.
- Fake E-Commerce sites: Fraudulent websites offering discounts to steal payment information.
- Insider threats: Distracted or disgruntled employees mishandling or exploiting sensitive data.
- Corporate travel scams: Fake booking platforms targeting business travelers.
- Business email compromise (BEC): Fraudulent requests for urgent wire transfers during year-end financial rushes.

According to Tickmill survey, 3 in 10 Britons in economic difficulty: Purchasing power down 41% since 2004
The people who have the most problems are women (30%) and are between 35 and 49 years old (39%)
ROME, Dec. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The purchasing power in the UK has dropped by 41% over the last 20 years. Today, £100,000 left in a bank account since 2004 without being invested would now be worth £59,021.
This figure is one of the findings from a study conducted by Tickmill, an international online trading broker that compared the economic situation in the UK and the European Union through the infographic “Purchasing Power and Cost of Living: UK vs EU”.
The analysis reveals a slight decline of 0.4% in the UK’s purchasing power, which currently stands at £41,573. In contrast, the European Union has seen a modest rise of 0.1%, reaching £40,874.
Why is purchasing power declining in the UK? One key factor is the cost of living. If the UK were still part of the European Union, it would rank as the fifth most expensive country, behind Ireland, Luxembourg, Denmark, and the Netherlands.
Unsurprisingly, 3 in 10 Britons are struggling with the cost of living. Women (3 in 10, compared to 25% of men), those aged between 35 and 49 (4 in 10), households earning less than £15,000 (6 in 10), and single parents (1 in 2) are among the most affected groups.
Among UK nations, Northern Ireland is the hardest hit, with 34% of its population facing financial difficulties, followed by Wales (31%), England (28%), and Scotland (22%). In England, the North East has the highest percentage of people struggling, with 4 in 10 residents affected. Even in London, the high costs impact 1 in 4 adults.
In response to these challenges, Britons are making significant adjustments:
- 53% have cut back or delayed spending on smaller items like eating out, entertainment, subscriptions, clothing, toys, books, etc.;
- 52% have reduced household energy consumption;
- 48% have decreased their grocery spending;
- 41% have scaled back or postponed major expenditures, such as holidays, cars, and weddings;
- 26% are working longer hours, taking on overtime, or pursuing additional jobs to earn extra income.
The British also made changes on the financial side. One in four adults has been forced to dip into their savings or investments to cover daily expenses. Moreover, 44% have stopped saving or investing entirely or have reduced their savings and investments—a 4% increase compared to 2023.
The lack of investment is another critical factor contributing to the decline in purchasing power. It is estimated that 13 million UK residents hold £430 billion in cash deposits but do not invest. The reasons? Seventy-four percent say they cannot compare investment products effectively, and 43% are afraid of losing their money.
A lack of knowledge and fear are preventing many savers from taking advantage of an important opportunity: preserving or increasing their purchasing power in the long term.
