FinVolution (NYSE: FINV) Q1 profit drops as it unveils $150M buyback
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
FinVolution Group reported softer results for the first quarter of 2026 while stepping up capital returns and overseas expansion. Net revenue was RMB3,210.1 million (US$465.4 million), down from RMB3,481.0 million a year earlier, as loan facilitation, post‑facilitation fees and guarantee income declined, partly offset by higher net interest income and other revenue.
Net profit fell to RMB421.1 million (US$61.0 million) from RMB737.6 million, and operating profit dropped to RMB546.8 million (US$79.3 million) from RMB883.2 million. The Chinese Mainland segment saw transaction volume decrease 21.6% to RMB38.5 billion and net revenue decline to RMB2,216.1 million, though it remained profitable with RMB598.7 million of operating profit.
Overseas markets were a key growth driver: transaction volume rose 36.7% to RMB4.1 billion, outstanding loan balance climbed 36.8% to RMB2.6 billion, and net revenue increased 34.5% to RMB948.9 million, with operating profit improving to RMB45.8 million. The company held RMB4,687.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and RMB2,643.8 million in short‑term investments as of March 31, 2026.
FinVolution continued returning cash to shareholders, repurchasing US$39.4 million of ADSs in the quarter and paying its eighth annual dividend of US$0.306 per ADS in May. The board also authorized a new share repurchase program of up to US$150.0 million from May 30, 2026 to May 29, 2028. Management reiterated full‑year 2026 total revenue guidance of approximately RMB11.5 billion to RMB12.9 billion, citing regulatory headwinds in China but strong momentum in overseas markets.
Positive
- Strong overseas growth and diversification: Overseas net revenue rose 34.5% year over year to RMB948.9 million, contributing 29.6% of total revenue, with transaction volume up 36.7% to RMB4.1 billion and operating profit improving to RMB45.8 million.
- Significant capital returns and new buyback: The company repurchased US$39.4 million of ADSs in Q1, has cumulatively bought back about US$516.7 million since 2018, and authorized a new share repurchase program of up to US$150.0 million through May 29, 2028.
- Solid liquidity position: As of March 31, 2026, FinVolution held RMB4,687.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and RMB2,643.8 million in short-term investments, supporting ongoing operations, growth initiatives and shareholder returns.
Negative
- Material profit and margin compression: Net revenue declined from RMB3,481.0 million to RMB3,210.1 million year over year, while net profit fell from RMB737.6 million to RMB421.1 million and operating profit decreased from RMB883.2 million to RMB546.8 million.
- Chinese Mainland volume and earnings pressure: Mainland transaction volume dropped 21.6% to RMB38.5 billion, and segment net revenue decreased to RMB2,216.1 million, contributing to lower group-level fee and guarantee income amid a challenging regulatory backdrop.
Insights
Profit fell sharply on China softness, while overseas growth and buybacks partially balance the picture.
FinVolution’s Q1 2026 net revenue declined to RMB3.21 billion from RMB3.48 billion, and net profit dropped to RMB421.1 million from RMB737.6 million. The Chinese Mainland segment saw transaction volume fall 21.6% to RMB38.5 billion, pressuring loan facilitation, post‑facilitation and guarantee income.
Overseas operations provided a contrasting growth engine. Net revenue from Indonesia, the Philippines and Australia rose 34.5% to RMB948.9 million, or 29.6% of total revenue, with operating profit improving to RMB45.8 million. This reflects rapid expansion in users and borrowers and a rising on‑balance sheet loan book, albeit from a smaller base than China.
Capital allocation remains shareholder‑focused. The company repurchased US$39.4 million of ADSs in Q1 and has cumulatively bought back about US$516.7 million since 2018, while authorizing a new share repurchase program of up to US$150.0 million. With cash and cash equivalents of RMB4.69 billion and short‑term investments of RMB2.64 billion as of March 31, 2026, and revenue guidance of RMB11.5–12.9 billion reiterated, the company emphasizes balance between navigating China’s regulatory environment and scaling its overseas platform.

Mr. Tiezheng Li, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FinVolution, commented, “In the first quarter, we delivered continued growth in our overseas business and a resilient performance in the Chinese Mainland segment against an evolving regulatory backdrop, demonstrating the strength of our two-engine model. Beginning this quarter, we are reporting our overseas business as a separate reportable segment, reflecting our strategic trajectory and the earnings power of our diversified business.
“In our Chinese Mainland segment, we executed with discipline, acquiring approximately 0.6 million new borrowers while prioritizing asset quality, customer quality and unit economics. The segment remained stable and profitable, reinforcing its role as the anchor of our operating cash flow.
“Our Overseas Markets segment delivered robust year-over-year revenue growth, contributing 29.6% of our total first quarter revenue. Our ‘Local Excellence, Global Outlook+’ strategy of transferring proven risk management and operational capabilities across regions drove strong year-over-year loan volume growth and more than doubled our unique overseas borrowers, underscoring our accelerating global traction.
“Looking ahead, we will continue to manage our China business prudently while expanding our overseas platform with deeper integration into the local ecosystems. Supported by strong technology advantages and a healthy balance sheet, we are well-positioned to continue creating durable value for customers and delivering sustainable financial returns for our stakeholders,” concluded Mr. Li.
Mr. Jiayuan Xu, Chief Financial Officer of FinVolution, continued, “Total net revenues for the first quarter were RMB3.2 billion, up 6.2% sequentially. Early signs of credit recovery in our Chinese Mainland business supported a recovery in loan origination volume to RMB38.5 billion, driving a 6.9% sequential increase in Chinese Mainland net revenue to RMB2.2 billion. In our overseas markets, revenue grew 34.5% year over year to RMB948.9 million, and operating profit reached RMB45.8 million, up 87.7% year over year, highlighting our overseas platform’s scalability and growing operating leverage.
“Meanwhile, we continued to return capital to our shareholders, executing share repurchases totaling US$39.4 million in the first quarter alongside our 8th annual dividend of US$0.306 per ADS in May, a 10.5% increase year over year. We reiterate our full-year 2026 revenue guidance of approximately RMB11.5 billion to RMB12.9 billion, which reflects the expected near-term impact of China’s regulatory environment. We remain confident in the resilience of our model and committed to long-term value creation,” concluded Mr. Xu.

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Net revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was RMB3,210.1 million (US$465.4 million), compared with RMB3,481.0 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in loan facilitation service fees, post-facilitation service fees and guarantee income, partially offset by increases in net interest income and other revenue.
Loan facilitation service fees were RMB1,181.3 million (US$171.3 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB1,477.8 million for the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in the transaction volume and average rate of transaction service fees in the Chinese Mainland market, partially offset by the increase in transaction volume in overseas markets.
Post-facilitation service fees were RMB348.3 million (US$50.5 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB380.6 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to the rolling impact of deferred transaction fees.
Guarantee income was RMB886.1 million (US$128.5 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB1,099.5 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in risk-bearing loans in the Chinese Mainland market, as well as the rolling impact of deferred guarantee income. 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.
Net interest income was RMB484.7 million (US$70.3 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB241.6 million for the same period of 2025. This increase mainly resulted from the increase in the average outstanding loan balances of on-balance sheet loans in both the Chinese Mainland and overseas markets, partially offset by the decrease in interest yield in the Chinese Mainland market.
Other revenue was RMB309.7 million (US$44.9 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB281.5 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the contributions from other revenue streams, including other value-added services.
Origination, servicing expenses and other costs of revenue were RMB745.2 million (US$108.0 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB620.5 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was primarily driven by the increase in employee expenditures and higher loan collection expenses in both the Chinese Mainland and overseas markets.
Sales and marketing expenses were RMB492.4 million (US$71.4 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB529.7 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to improved efficiency and decreased investment in marketing activities in the Chinese Mainland market.
Research and development expenses were RMB125.5 million (US$18.2 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB126.0 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to efficiency improvements in technology development.
General and administrative expenses were RMB113.8 million (US$16.5 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB106.9 million for the same period of 2025, primarily due to an increase in office expenses.
Provision for accounts receivable and contract assets was RMB111.5 million (US$16.2 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB117.7 million for the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to decreased transaction volume of off-balance sheet loans in the Chinese Mainland market, partially offset by the increase in volume of off-balance sheet loans in overseas markets.
| 4 |
Provision for loans receivable was RMB218.1 million (US$31.6 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB85.4 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the outstanding loan balance of on-balance sheet loans in the Chinese Mainland and overseas markets.
Credit losses for quality assurance commitment were RMB856.6 million (US$124.2 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB1,011.6 million for the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in risk-bearing loans in the Chinese Mainland market.
Operating profit was RMB546.8 million (US$79.3 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB883.2 million for the same period of 2025.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating profit, which excludes share-based compensation expenses before tax, was RMB585.0 million (US$84.8 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB917.9 million for the same period of 2025.
Other income/(expenses) was an expense of RMB15.5 million (US$2.3 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with income of RMB9.0 million for the same period of 2025. The decrease was mainly due to foreign exchange losses.
Income tax expense was RMB93.1 million (US$13.5 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB153.9 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in pre-tax profit.
Net profit was RMB421.1 million (US$61.0 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB737.6 million for the same period of 2025.
Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company was RMB415.1 million (US$60.2 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB746.4 million for the same period of 2025.
Diluted net profit per ADS was RMB1.65 (US$0.24) and diluted net profit per share was RMB0.33 (US$0.05) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB2.84 and RMB0.57 for the same period of 2025, respectively.
Non-GAAP diluted net profit per ADS was RMB1.80 (US$0.26) and non-GAAP diluted net profit per share was RMB0.36 (US$0.05) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB2.97 and RMB0.59 for the same period of 2025, respectively. Each ADS represents five Class A ordinary shares of the Company.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB4,687.8 million (US$679.6 million) and short-term investments, mainly in wealth management products and term deposits, of RMB2,643.8 million (US$383.3 million).

The following chart shows the historical cumulative 30-day plus past due delinquency rates by loan origination vintage for loan products facilitated through the Company’s platform in the Chinese Mainland as of March 31, 2026. Loans facilitated under the capital-light model, for which the Company does not bear principal risk, are excluded from the chart.
Shares Repurchase Update
For the first quarter of 2026, the Company deployed approximately US$39.4 million to repurchase its own Class A ordinary shares in the form of ADSs. As of March 31, 2026, in combination with the Company’s historical and existing share repurchase programs, the Company had cumulatively repurchased its own Class A ordinary shares in the form of ADSs with a total aggregate value of approximately US$516.7 million since 2018.

Business Outlook
Strong execution of the Company’s ‘Local Excellence, Global Outlook+’ Strategy drove a resilient first quarter performance despite domestic macro headwinds and seasonal softness. The Company reiterates its full-year 2026 total revenue guidance to be in the range of approximately RMB11.5 billion to RMB12.9 billion.
The above forecast is based on the current market conditions and reflects the Company’s current preliminary views and expectations on market and operational conditions and the regulatory and operating environment, as well as customers’ and institutional partners’ demands, all of which are subject to change.

We use non-GAAP adjusted operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net profit, non-GAAP net profit attributable to FinVolution Group, and 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 non-GAAP financial measures 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.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating profit, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net profit, non-GAAP net profit attributable to FinVolution Group, and non-GAAP basic and diluted net profit per share and per ADS are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

FinVolution Group Announces New Share Repurchase Program of Up to US$150 million
SHANGHAI, May 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FinVolution Group (“FinVolution,” or the “Company”) (NYSE: FINV), a leading fintech platform across China and overseas markets, today announced that the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has authorized a new share repurchase program (the “New Share Repurchase Program”) effective on May 30, 2026. Pursuant to the New Share Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase up to US$150.0 million worth of its shares (including ADSs) during the period from May 30, 2026 to May 29, 2028.
Mr. Tiezheng Li, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FinVolution Group, said, “Shareholder return remains a cornerstone of our capital allocation strategy. Since the initial launch of our first share repurchase program on March 21, 2018, through March 31, 2026, we have cumulatively deployed approximately US$516.7 million to repurchase the Company’s ADSs. The New Share Repurchase Program is also our fifth share repurchase program, reflecting our continued commitment to shareholder value creation. Supported by a healthy balance sheet and strong confidence in our ‘Local Excellence, Global Outlook+’ strategy, we continue to believe in the underlying value of the investment in our own equity.”
Mr. Shaofeng Gu, Chairman of FinVolution Group, added, “The Board’s approval of this new program reflects our conviction in the Company’s growth trajectory and disciplined approach to capital allocation. As our international platform continues to gain traction across multiple geographies and our domestic operations deliver stable profitability, we believe share buybacks represent a compelling use of capital. We are confident in our ability to deliver sustainable long-term returns to our stakeholders.”
The Company’s proposed repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The Board will review the share repurchase program periodically, and may authorize adjustment of its terms and size.
