SHENZHEN, China, Nov. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. (“Lexin” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LX), a leading technology-empowered personal financial service enabler in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
“Total loan origination for the third quarter reached approximately RMB51.0 billion, remaining stable on a quarter-over-quarter basis, but reflecting a 19.5% decrease year-over-year. The outstanding loan balance was RMB111.2 billion, down by 3.4% quarter-over-quarter and by 7.8% year-over-year. These figures align with the guidance we provided earlier, reflecting our prudent operational principles amid the challenges of a sluggish macroeconomic recovery,” said Jay Wenjie Xiao, Chairman and CEO of Lexin. “However, despite the trend of a declining loan volume, our net profit reached RMB310 million, a substantial increase of 36.7% compared to RMB227 million in the previous quarter.”
“Improved profitability is part of a strong set of operational and financial results we delivered this quarter, demonstrating that we are well on track for a comprehensive business turnaround.”
“During the past quarter, our persistent efforts in executing transformation strategies led to a record low funding cost, gradual improvement in asset quality, and a substantial increase in new users with approved credit lines.”
“Considering the gradual business recovery, we remain committed to returning more value to shareholders. The Board has approved an amended dividend payout policy, increasing the payout ratio to 25% of net profit starting in 2025.”
“Looking ahead, while we are cautious about the short-term economic outlook and anticipate that the recently released government stimulus measures targeting at an economic recovery will gradually take effect, we remain confident in Lexin’s ability to navigate through uncertainties and sustain the recovery momentum by delivering solid results quarter by quarter,” Concluded Mr. Xiao.
“During the past quarter, we have delivered another set of robust financial results,” said Mr. James Zheng, Chief Financial Officer of Lexin. “The third quarter's total operating revenue reached approximately RMB3.7 billion, up by 4.4% year-over-year and stable quarter-over-quarter. Net profit for the third quarter reached RMB310 million, a substantial growth of 36.7% compared to the previous quarter. This significant increase in net profit is largely attributable to the improved net revenue take rate of our core loan business, supported by continuous risk improvements in newly issued loans, a significant reduction in funding costs by nearly 100 basis points over the past quarter, and a slight improvement in the early repayment behavior. Given the ongoing improvement in our overall asset quality and the continuous execution of our transformation initiatives, we expect to report more positive progress in the year ahead.”

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results:
Operating revenue increased by 4.4% from RMB3,509 million in the third quarter of 2023 to RMB3,662 million in the third quarter of 2024.
Credit facilitation service income increased by 10.6% from RMB2,686 million in the third quarter of 2023 to RMB2,970 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase was driven by the increases in loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented, partially offset by the decrease in financing income and guarantee income.
Loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented increased by 20.7% from RMB1,533 million in the third quarter of 2023 to RMB1,851 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to the increase in takerate of loan facilitation business.
Guarantee income decreased by 2.9% from RMB639 million in the third quarter of 2023 to RMB620 million in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the decrease of outstanding balances in the off-balance sheet loans funded by certain institutional funding partners, which are accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees.
Financing income decreased by 2.8% from RMB514 million in the third quarter of 2023 to RMB499 million in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the origination of on-balance sheet loans.
Tech-empowerment service income decreased by 15.5% from RMB454 million in the third quarter of 2023 to RMB384 million in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of loan facilitation volume under the profit-sharing model.
Installment e-commerce platform service income decreased by 16.6% from RMB369 million in the third quarter of 2023 to RMB308 million in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in transaction volume in the third quarter of 2024.
Cost of sales decreased by 14.3% from RMB360 million in the third quarter of 2023 to RMB308 million in the third quarter of 2024, which was consistent with the decrease in installment e-commerce platform service income.
Funding cost decreased by 33.4% from RMB132 million in the third quarter of 2023 to RMB87.7 million in the third quarter of 2024, which was primarily driven by the decrease in the cost of funding and funding debts to fund the on-balance sheet loans.
Processing and servicing costs increased by 35.1% from RMB446 million in the third quarter of 2023 to RMB602 million in the third quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in risk management and collection expenses.
Provision for financing receivables was RMB261 million for the third quarter of 2024, as compared to RMB162 million for the third quarter of 2023. The lifetime expected credit losses recognized was estimated based on the most recent performance in relation to the Company's on-balance sheet loans, taking into consideration the forward-looking factors.
Provision for contract assets and receivables was RMB244 million in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to RMB159 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the increase in loan facilitation and servicing fees.
Provision for contingent guarantee liabilities was RMB952 million in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to RMB894 million in the third quarter of 2023. The fluctuation was primarily due to the re-measurement of the expected loss rates and the origination of the off-balance sheet loans funded by certain institutional funding partners, which are accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees.
Gross profit decreased by 11.0% from RMB1,356 million in the third quarter of 2023 to RMB1,207 million in the third quarter of 2024.
Sales and marketing expenses was RMB438 million in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to RMB411 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased investment in marketing.
Research and development expenses was RMB149 million in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to RMB127 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased investment in technology development.
General and administrative expenses was RMB89.0 million in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to RMB85.5 million in the third quarter of 2023.
Change in fair value of financial guarantee derivatives and loans at fair value was a loss of RMB151 million in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to a loss of RMB246 million in the third quarter of 2023. The change in fair value was primarily due to the re-measurement of the expected loss rates, partially offset by the fair value gains realized as a result of the release of guarantee obligation.
Income tax expense was RMB72.2 million in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to RMB116 million in the third quarter of 2023. The change was primarily due to the decrease of income before income tax expense.
Net income decreased by 16.5% from RMB371 million in the third quarter of 2023 to RMB310 million in the third quarter of 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement
In evaluating our business, we consider and use adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, non-GAAP EBIT, adjusted net income per ordinary share and per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, four non-GAAP measures, as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company as net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company excluding share-based compensation expenses, interest expense associated with convertible notes, and investment income/(loss) and we define non-GAAP EBIT as net income excluding income tax expense, share-based compensation expenses, interest expense, net, and investment income/(loss).
We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. Adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company enables our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses, interest expense associated with convertible notes, and investment income/(loss). Non-GAAP EBIT, on the other hand, enables our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of income tax expense, share-based compensation expenses, interest expense, net, and investment income/(loss). We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company and non-GAAP EBIT is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect our operations. Share-based compensation expenses, interest expense associated with convertible notes, income tax expense, interest expense, net, and investment income/(loss) have been and may continue to be incurred in our business and are not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company and non-GAAP EBIT. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP financial information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
We compensate for these limitations by reconciling each of the non-GAAP financial measures 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.
