Insights

Qifu Technology delivered solid Q1 2025 results with 15.8% YoY loan volume growth despite macroeconomic challenges in China.

Qifu Technology's Q1 2025 results demonstrate resilience in challenging macroeconomic conditions. The company achieved total facilitation and origination loan volume of RMB88,883 million, representing a healthy 15.8% year-over-year growth despite a slight 1.1% sequential decline. Total net revenue reached RMB4,690.7 million (US$646.4 million), up from RMB4,153.2 million in Q1 2024.

The company's user metrics show consistent expansion with 268.2 million registered users with potential credit needs (up 11.1% YoY) and cumulative borrowers with successful drawdown increasing 13.8% YoY to 35.5 million. This user growth supports the sustainability of their business model.

Importantly, Qifu is successfully executing its capital-light strategy, with 49.3% of loan volume (RMB43,811 million) under capital-light models, Intelligence Credit Engine (ICE), and technology solutions. This approach reduces risk exposure while maintaining revenue growth. The contribution of non-credit risk bearing services helps mitigate risks in the challenging environment.

Asset quality remains solid with a 90-day+ delinquency rate of 2.02%, while the high repeat borrower contribution of 95.1% indicates strong customer loyalty and reduced customer acquisition costs. However, day-1 delinquency increased slightly to 5.0% and the 30-day collection rate was 88.1%, suggesting some modest deterioration in initial repayment behavior.

Profitability remains robust with non-GAAP net income of RMB1,926.2 million (US$265.4 million), though this represents a slight sequential decrease from RMB1,972.4 million in Q4 2024. The non-GAAP operating margin of 44.9% demonstrates strong operational efficiency.

Qifu successfully completed a US$690 million convertible notes offering during the quarter, strengthening its balance sheet and providing capital for share repurchases. This suggests management's confidence in the business and commitment to shareholder returns despite macroeconomic headwinds.

The company's strategic focus on embedded finance partners (API channels) for new user acquisition and increased investment in AI applications across credit service offerings positions it well for future growth while diversifying acquisition channels and improving operational efficiency.

Mr. Haisheng Wu, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Qifu Technology, commented, “First quarter came in stronger than typical seasonal trend despite the ongoing macroeconomic challenges. We observed an increase in users’ activities early in the quarter as public sentiment slightly improved in response to the strong stimulus messages delivered by government officials. However, we remain prudent in our business planning as tariff-related economic uncertainties may persist throughout this year. We will continue to focus on improving the quality and sustainability of our business.

During the quarter, we issued a record amount of ABS as the overall funding environment remained supportive. As a result, the blended funding cost continued to decline sequentially. Approximately 56% of the quarter-end loan balance was under the capital-light model, ICE and total technology solutions, demonstrating the efficiency of our platform services. The contribution from non-credit risk bearing services also continued to help us mitigate certain risks in a challenging environment. During the quarter, nearly half of our new credit line users were acquired through embedded finance partners, which we also refer to as API channels, as we further diversify our user acquisition channels. Loan volumes through the API channels increased significantly in the quarter.

With the growing maturity and efficiency of large language models, we will continue to allocate more resources to the application of AI across our credit service offerings. We expect that these AI-powered tools will not only allow us to serve our users with better offerings at greater efficiency but also enable our financial institution clients to better utilize the cutting-edge AI technologies, through our open platform. We believe these efforts will enable us to better navigate through the current environment and position us well to capture long-term opportunities through innovative technologies, enhanced products and collaborative models.”

“We are pleased to start 2025 with another quarter of solid financial results despite an uncertain macro environment. For the first quarter, total revenue was RMB4.69 billion and Non-GAAP net income was RMB1.93 billion,” Mr. Alex Xu, Chief Financial Officer, commented. “During the quarter, we successfully completed the US$690 million convertible notes offering and it gave us ample resources to accelerate our share repurchase programs. Our strong financial position enables us to consistently execute our strategy, support business initiatives, and enhance returns to our shareholders.”

Mr. Yan Zheng, Chief Risk Officer, added, “In the first quarter, we maintained a relatively stable risk profile as users’ activities came in stronger than normal. Although overall risk performance fluctuated from the best level we achieved in the prior quarter, it remained well within our target range. Among key leading indicators, Day-1 delinquency rate*10 was 5.0% in the first quarter, and 30-day collection rate*11 was 88.1%. While macro volatility may induce short-term fluctuation in risk metrics, we look forward to maintaining relatively stable risk performance in the coming quarters as we seek growth opportunities in 2025.”

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 operating 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 operating margin is equal to Non-GAAP income from operation divided by total net revenue. Non-GAAP net income represents net income excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net income margin is equal to Non-GAAP net income divided by total net revenue. Non-GAAP net income attributed to the Company represents net income attributed to the Company excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net income per fully diluted ADS represents net income excluding share-based compensation expenses per fully diluted ADS. Such adjustments have no impact on income tax. We believe that Non-GAAP income from operation, Non-GAAP operating 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 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.
