[1] The Company uses in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) adjusted net income (loss), (ii) adjusted net income (loss) attributable to X Financial shareholders, (iii) adjusted net income (loss) per basic ADS, and (iv) adjusted net income (loss) per diluted ADS, each of which excludes share-based compensation expense and income (loss) from investments in VC funds. For more information on non-GAAP financial measure, please see the section of "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement" and the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this press release.

[2] Each American depositary share ("ADS") represents six Class A ordinary shares. On November 19, 2020, a ratio change that has the same effect as a 1-for-3 reverse ADS split took effect, and as a result, one ADS currently represents six Class A ordinary shares.

[3] Represents the total amount of loans that X Financial facilitated during the relevant period.

[4] Xiaoying Credit Loan is a category of online personal credit loan products facilitated through our platform, including Xiaoying Card Loan and other unsecured loan products we introduce from time to time.

[5] Represents the total amount of loans outstanding for loans X Financial facilitated at the end of the relevant period. Loans that are delinquent for more than 60 days are charged-off and are excluded in the calculation of delinquency rate by balance, except for Xiaoying Housing Loan. Xiaoying Housing Loan is a secured loan product and the Company is entitled to payment by exercising its rights to the collateral. X Financial does not charge off Xiaoying Housing Loans delinquent for more than 60 days and such loans are included in the calculation of delinquency rate by balance.

[6] Represents borrowers who made at least one transaction during that period from the commencement of the Company's loan facilitation business to a certain date on the Company's platform.

Mr. Justin Tang, the Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company, commented, "We are very pleased with our strategic execution in the third quarter. Both our loan facilitation amount and net income were in line with our guidance. The total loan facilitation amount hit a new high for the second straight quarter. At the same time, the increase in our net income has demonstrated our ability to enhance profitability, boost operational efficiency and reduce costs."

"During the third quarter, we further adjusted our pricing structure to comply with the 24% Internal Rate of Return (IRR) regulatory cap. We believe this is the government's initiative to support the real economy and stimulate healthy growth for SMEs and private consumption. The proportion of our loan facilitation amount subject to the 24% IRR cap improved to approximately 30% of our total loan facilitation amount in September, and we expect it to grow to between 40% and 50% by the end of this year. Beyond the regulatory compliance requirement, we believe that this initiative can help us attract more quality borrowers as the demand for personal financing solutions increases."

"We continued our efforts to diversify our service offerings. Our microcredit business officially commenced operation in the third quarter. We also made solid progress in our services to micro and small businesses and self-employed individuals, which are important target groups for our future growth. We have certain favorable loan policies for this group and are adjusting and testing our systems to speed up the qualification and validation processes. We believe we are on track towards our goals and all these efforts are bearing fruit and helping us to drive long-term sustainable growth in a fiercely competitive and strongly regulated industry."

Mr. Kent Li, President of the Company, added, "During the quarter, our total loan facilitation amount reached RMB15.1 billion, an increase of 87.9% year-over-year and 17.5% quarter-over-quarter. This was mainly driven by the strong growth in the loan facilitation amount of Xiaoying Card Loan, which increased 120.3% year-over-year and 17.5% quarter-over-quarter. As of September 30, 2021, the total outstanding loan balance of Xiaoying Card Loan reached RMB24.4 billion, an increase of 19.9% compared with the previous quarter. In the fourth quarter, there would be a moderate decline in our loan volume due to our institutional funding partners' year-end outstanding loan balances requirements."

"We continued our efforts to improve our risk management capabilities. As of September 30, 2021, the delinquency rate for all outstanding loans that are past due for 31-60 days was 0.96%, compared with 0.77% as of June 30, 2021 and 1.06% as of September 30, 2020. Despite the quarter-over-quarter fluctuation, our asset quality is still within its best historical range in our operating history."

"According to a new regulation, loan facilitation platforms are restricted from submitting credit assessment-related personal data directly to financial institutions, and such data transfer must be conducted through a licensed credit agency. In response, we have been working closely with Baihang Credit, the second largest licensed individual credit bureau in China, in addition to the credit bureau of the People's Bank of China (PBOC), to execute a plan to comply with the new regulation. We have noticed that 14 large companies on the regulator's top list for the rectification are either working on a plan or waiting for approval. We are getting ready and will fully comply with the new regulation. We expect minimal changes to our daily operational activities and cost structure."

Mr. Frank Fuya Zheng, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, added, "We delivered another set of robust financial results for the third quarter. In line with our expectation, total net revenue increased 72.3% year-over-year to RMB964.4 million. Our bottom line also saw strong growth with a Non-GAAP adjusted net income of RMB277.0 million, compared with a Non-GAAP adjusted net loss of RMB111.7 million in the same period of last year. "

"Moving ahead, we will identify and acquire more high-quality borrowers to adapt to our strategy in response to the 24% IRR cap and improve asset quality by leveraging our evolving data-driven and technology-empowered credit analysis capabilities. We will also deepen cooperation with our institutional funding partners to better serve borrowers' needs. Our proven track record demonstrates that we are capable of navigating through regulatory and macroeconomic challenges. We believe we are well-positioned to capture opportunities ahead and bring more valuable returns to our shareholders."

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Total net revenue in the third quarter of 2021 increased by 72.3% to RMB964.4 million (US$149.7 million) from RMB559.8 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to an increase in the total loan facilitation amount of Xiaoying Card Loan this quarter compared with the same period of 2020.

Loan facilitation service fees under the direct model in the third quarter of 2021 increased by 91.5% to RMB670.9 million (US$104.1 million) from RMB350.4 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to an increase in the amount of Xiaoying Card Loan facilitated through the direct model compared with the same period of 2020.

Post-origination service fees in the third quarter of 2021 increased by 78.6% to RMB88.4 million (US$13.7 million) from RMB49.5 million in the same period of 2020, as a result of the cumulative effect of increased volume of loans facilitated in the previous quarters. Revenues from post-origination services are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying loans as the services are being provided.

Financing income in the third quarter of 2021 increased by 24.1% to RMB172.3 million (US$26.7 million) from RMB138.8 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to a change in the product mix resulting from an increase in revenue generated by Xiaoying Card Loan this quarter compared with the same period of 2020, which carried a higher service fee rate; and also partially offset by a decrease in average loan balances held by the Company. These loans do not qualify for sales accounting, and the service fees are recognized as financing income over the life of the underlying financing using the effective interest method.

Other revenue in the third quarter of 2021 increased by 80.4% to RMB32.7 million (US$5.1 million) from RMB18.1 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to an increase in technology service fees received for providing assistant technology development services and referral service fee for introducing borrowers to other platforms.

Origination and servicing expenses in the third quarter of 2021 decreased by 13.8% to RMB483.8 million (US$75.1 million) from RMB561.2 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the decline in collection expenses resulting from the decrease in delinquency rates and a decrease in interest expenses related to a decline in average loan balances held by the Company, and partially offset by the increase in commission fees resulting from the increased total loan facilitation amount this quarter compared with the same period of 2020.

General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2021 increased by 9.2% to RMB39.1 million (US$6.1 million) from RMB35.8 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the increase in share-based compensation expenses in the third quarter of 2021.

Sales and marketing expenses in the third quarter of 2021 increased by 40.4% to RMB5.4 million (US$0.8 million) from RMB3.9 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to an increase in marketing expenses resulting from the business expansion.

Provision for accounts receivable and contract assets in the third quarter was RMB15.2 million (US$2.4 million), compared with RMB24.3 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to a decrease in the average estimated default rate compared with the same period of 2020, and partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable from facilitation services as a result of the increase in total loan facilitation amount in the third quarter of 2021.

Provision for loans receivable in the third quarter of 2021 was RMB10.2 million (US$1.6 million), compared with RMB58.1 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to a decrease in the average estimated default rate compared with the same period of 2020.

Income from operations in the third quarter of 2021 was RMB410.6 million (US$63.7 million), compared with loss from operation of RMB101.4 million in the same period of 2020.

Income before income taxes and gain from equity in affiliates in the third quarter of 2021 was RMB397.8 million (US$61.7 million), compared with loss before income taxes and loss from equity in affiliates of RMB108.2 million in the same period of 2020.

Income tax expense in the third quarter of 2021 was RMB119.5 million (US$18.5 million), compared with RMB1.6 million in the same period of 2020.

Net income attributable to X Financial shareholders in the third quarter of 2021 was RMB279.9 million (US$43.4 million), compared with net loss attributable to X Financial shareholders of RMB113.0 million in the same period of 2020.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to X Financial shareholders in the third quarter of 2021 was RMB277.0 million (US$43.0 million), compared with Non-GAAP adjusted net loss attributable to X Financial shareholders of RMB111.7 million in the same period of 2020.

Net income per basic and diluted ADS in the third quarter of 2021 was RMB5.04 (US$0.78), and RMB4.92 (US$0.76), compared with net loss per basic and diluted ADS of RMB2.10 and RMB2.10 in the same period of 2020.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income per basic and diluted ADS in the third quarter of 2021 was RMB4.98 (US$0.77), and RMB4.86 (US$0.75), compared with Non-GAAP adjusted net loss per basic and diluted ADS of RMB2.10 and RMB2.10 in the same period of 2020.

This forecast reflects the Company's current and preliminary views, which are subject to changes.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement

In evaluating our business, we consider and use non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. We present the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We believe that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors' assessment of our operating performance and help investors to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain income or expenses that we include in income (loss) from operations and net income (loss). We also believe that the non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our core 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.

We use in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) adjusted net income, (ii) adjusted net income attributable to X Financial shareholders, (iii) adjusted net income per basic ADS, and (iv) adjusted net income per diluted ADS, each of which excludes investment income and share-based compensation expense. 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 analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We mitigate these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, 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.

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results" set forth at the end of this press release.
