Mr. Yan Dinggui, the Company’s Founder, Director and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "During the second quarter of 2026, our transaction volume reached RMB9.5 billion, in line with our previously communicated guidance. The Company recorded a net loss of RMB183.6 million during the quarter, primarily due to the contraction of our business scale.

"In response to evolving industry dynamics, we have launched a comprehensive strategic upgrade, shifting our development model from scale-driven growth toward a greater focus on both quality and efficiency. Furthermore, we are expanding our business model beyond pure loan facilitation into a diversified platform centered on our compliance-driven core business, technology empowerment, and ecosystem collaboration. Meanwhile, we continue to deepen our strategic investments in AI and overseas business to navigate the challenges of transformation, demonstrating our commitment to delivering long-term value."

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Net revenue was RMB736.9 million (US$108.6 million), representing a decrease of 60.9% from the same period of 2025.

Revenue from loan facilitation services was RMB184.8 million (US$27.2 million), representing a decrease of 88.5% from the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower transaction volume.

Revenue from releasing of guarantee liabilities was RMB454.4 million (US$67.0 million) compared with RMB126.4 million in the same period of 2025. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the increase in average outstanding loan balances for which the Company provided guarantee services.

Other revenue was RMB97.7 million (US$14.4 million), compared with RMB150.4 million for the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the contribution from referral fees.

Facilitation and servicing expense was RMB549.3 million (US$81.0 million), representing an increase of 92.7% from the same period of 2025, primarily due to the increase in average outstanding loan balances for which the Company provided guarantee services.

Allowance for uncollectible receivables, contract assets, prepaid expenses and other current assets and others was RMB51.3 million (US$7.6 million), compared with RMB32.5 million for the same period of 2025, primarily due to increased guarantee services the Company provided.

Sales and marketing expense was RMB221.8 million (US$32.7 million), representing a decrease of 68.8% from the same period of 2025, primarily due to decreased borrower acquisition expenses and commission expenses.

General and administrative expense was RMB66.9 million (US$9.9 million), representing a decrease of 39.5% from the same period of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation.

Research and development expense was RMB94.2 million (US$13.9 million), representing a decrease of 13.1% from the same period of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation.

Loss from operations was RMB246.7 million (US$36.4 million), compared with RMB639.1 million income from operation in the same period of 2025.

Non-GAAP loss from operation was RMB225.7 million (US$33.3 million), compared with RMB737.6 million non-GAAP income from operation in the same period of 2025.

Net loss was RMB183.6 million (US$27.1 million), compared with RMB519.1 million net income in the same period of 2025.

Basic and diluted net loss per share were both RMB0.89 (US$0.13) compared with RMB2.46 basic and diluted net income per share in the second quarter of 2025.

Basic and diluted net loss per ADS were both RMB3.56 (US$0.52) compared with RMB9.84 basic and diluted net income per ADS in the second quarter of 2025. Each ADS represents four Class A ordinary shares of the Company.

Cash and cash equivalents were RMB504.0 million (US$74.3 million) as of June 30, 2026, compared with RMB43.4 million as of March 31, 2026.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure

We use non-GAAP income from operation, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measure helps identify underlying trends in our business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses. We believe that non-GAAP financial measure 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 income from operation represents income from operation excluding share-based compensation expenses. Such adjustment has no impact on income tax.

Non-GAAP income from operation is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tool, and when assessing our operating performance, cash flows or our liquidity, investors should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for income from operation, net 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 "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results" set forth at the end of this press release.
