Rhea-AI Filing Summary

LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. reported first quarter 2026 results showing modest revenue growth but sharply lower profit. Total operating revenue reached RMB3,309 million, up 6.6% from a year earlier, driven mainly by credit facilitation and strong installment e-commerce platform service income.

Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB201 million, a 53.2% year-over-year decline, as higher provisions for financing receivables and contingent guarantee liabilities compressed margins. Adjusted net income fell 51.6% to RMB228 million, while gross profit dropped to RMB835 million from RMB1,219 million.

Operationally, total loan originations were RMB57.9 billion, up 12.2% year-over-year and 15.9% quarter-over-quarter, with non-consumer finance segments contributing nearly half. Installment e-commerce GMV nearly doubled to RMB2,198 million, but the 90 day+ delinquency ratio edged up to 3.5%. The company has repurchased about 9.6 million ADSs under its US$50 million program, totaling roughly 5.9% of shares, and expects second quarter 2026 loan originations to remain relatively flat amid macro uncertainties.

Insights

Revenue grew modestly, but profit halved on heavier credit costs.

LexinFintech delivered first quarter 2026 revenue of RMB3,309 million, up 6.6% year-over-year, supported by credit facilitation and an 81.9% surge in installment e-commerce platform income to RMB525 million. Loan originations rose 12.2% to RMB57.9 billion, showing continued volume growth.

Profitability deteriorated sharply. Net income attributable to ordinary shareholders fell 53.2% to RMB201 million, and gross profit declined to RMB835 million. Provisions for financing receivables and contingent guarantee liabilities increased to RMB341 million and RMB959 million, respectively, reflecting a heavier risk cost burden despite management noting asset quality improvements.

The balance sheet shows total assets of RMB22.8 billion and shareholders’ equity of RMB12.1 billion as of March 31, 2026. Management guides for relatively flat total loan origination in second quarter 2026 amid macro uncertainties, suggesting a cautious stance on growth while the company continues its share repurchase program with US$11 million remaining.

Total operating revenue RMB3,309 million Q1 2026, up 6.6% year-over-year
Net income attributable to shareholders RMB201 million Q1 2026, down 53.2% year-over-year

Gross profit RMB835 million Q1 2026 vs RMB1,218.9 million in Q1 2025
Tech-empowerment service income financial
"Tech-empowerment service income was RMB553 million in the first quarter of 2026"
contingent guarantee liabilities financial
"Provision for contingent guarantee liabilities was RMB959 million in the first quarter of 2026"
Contingent guarantee liabilities are potential debts a company promises to pay only if a specific future event occurs, such as a borrower defaulting on a loan the company guaranteed. Think of it like co-signing a friend’s loan: you won’t pay unless they fail to, but the promise still creates risk. Investors care because these hidden promises can turn into real cash outflows, affect credit ratings, borrowing costs, and the company’s true financial risk.
non-GAAP EBIT financial
"We define non-GAAP EBIT as net income excluding income tax expense, share-based compensation expenses, interest expense, net, and investment income/(loss)"
Non-GAAP EBIT is a company-reported measure of operating profit that starts with earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) under standard accounting rules and then removes or adds back items the company considers unusual or non-recurring. Investors use it like a cleaned-up scorecard to see underlying business earnings without one-off swings, but because companies choose which items to adjust, it should be compared with the standard (GAAP) figure to judge consistency and potential bias.
90 day+ delinquency ratio financial
"90 day+ delinquency ratio was 3.5% as of March 31, 2026"
The 90 day+ delinquency ratio is the share of loans, credit accounts, or receivables that are more than 90 days past due, expressed as a percentage of the total loan balance or portfolio. It matters to investors because a rising ratio signals worsening borrower ability to pay and higher potential losses for lenders or credit-dependent businesses — like seeing the proportion of customers who haven’t paid a bill in three months, which warns of future write-offs and weaker cash flow.
Installment e-commerce platform service financial
"Installment e-commerce platform service income was RMB525 million, representing an increase of 81.9%"
An installment e-commerce platform service lets online shoppers split a purchase into multiple smaller payments at checkout, functioning like a small loan built into an online store. For investors, it matters because these services can boost sales, increase the average order value and customer loyalty while also introducing credit risk, fee revenue and regulatory scrutiny—factors that affect a merchant’s cash flow and a provider’s profitability.
Operating revenue RMB3,309 million +6.6% year-over-year
Net income attributable to shareholders RMB201 million -53.2% year-over-year
Adjusted net income RMB228 million -51.6% year-over-year
Total loan originations RMB57.9 billion +12.2% year-over-year
Installment e-commerce GMV RMB2,198 million +95% year-over-year
Guidance

Management expects total loan origination for the second quarter of 2026 to remain relatively flat amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties.

LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. Reports First Quarter 2026

Unaudited Financial Results

SHENZHEN, China, May 25, 2026 (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 March 31, 2026.

Mr. Jay Wenjie Xiao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lexin, commented, "In the first quarter, despite the complex macroeconomic and industry environment, the diversified business ecosystem we have established demonstrated solid operational resilience. Total loan originations reached RMB57.9 billion, representing an increase of 15.9% quarter-over-quarter. This momentum was primarily driven by our non-Consumer Finance business—including Installment E-commerce, Offline Inclusive Financing, and Fintech-empowerment services—which accounted for nearly 50% of our total loan origination.

During the period, net income remained relatively steady quarter-over-quarter at RMB201 million. This bottom-line performance underscores the fundamental strength and diversity of our core business model. Underpinning these results, we achieved consistent improvements in asset quality by refining our risk management strategies and optimizing our product matrix.

We also continued to step up our investments in consumer rights protection and customer experience enhancements. Looking ahead, we remain fully committed to compliant operations. Leveraging our business ecosystem, we will continuously enhance our operational resilience to navigate evolving market dynamics, achieve sustainable growth, and deliver long-term returns for our shareholders."

Mr. James Zheng, Chief Financial Officer of Lexin, commented, "Building on the resilience of our business ecosystem, we have proactively optimized our business mix this quarter to focus on high-quality growth. While the strategic shift in our consumer finance business and the broader macro environment moderated our current growth, our expanding business ecosystem provided a structural buffer. In the first quarter, our total revenue was RMB3.3 billion, representing an 8.7% increase quarter-over-quarter.

With a focus on long-term sustainability, we increased our investments in ecosystem user engagement and upgraded our customer service infrastructure. We also further bolstered our financial foundation with ample provisioning. As a result, our net income stood at RMB201 million, remaining relatively stable quarter-over-quarter.

Looking ahead, while staying vigilant regarding persistent macro uncertainties, we will advance our diversified business ecosystem to ensure steady progress across market cycles and continue to deliver value to our shareholders."

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results:

Operating revenue was RMB3,309 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to RMB3,104 million in the first quarter of 2025.

Credit facilitation service income was RMB2,232 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to RMB2,191 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was due to the increase in guarantee income.

Loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented was RMB1,038 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to RMB1,136 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the APR of off-balance sheet loans and the decrease in origination of off-balance sheet loans.

 

Guarantee income was RMB727 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to RMB548 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to the increase 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 was RMB467 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to RMB507 million in the first quarter of 2025.

 

Tech-empowerment service income was RMB553 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to RMB625 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of loan facilitation volume through ICP.

 

Installment e-commerce platform service income was RMB525 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to RMB288 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in transaction volume with third-party sellers.

Cost of sales consisted of cost of inventory sold and other costs. Cost of sales was RMB349 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to RMB262 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in transaction volume of online direct sales which is recorded on a gross basis.

Funding cost was RMB55.6 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to RMB83.0 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in funding rates and balance of funding debts to fund the on-balance sheet loans.

Processing and servicing costs was RMB634 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to RMB551 million in the first quarter of 2025.The increase was primarily due to the increase in risk management expenses.

Provision for financing receivables was RMB341 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to RMB182 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to the changes in loan portfolio of on balance sheet loans.

Provision for contract assets and receivables was RMB137 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to RMB130 million in the first quarter of 2025.

Page 3 of 13


 

Provision for contingent guarantee liabilities was RMB959 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to RMB677 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to the increase of outstanding balances in the off-balance sheet loans funded by certain institutional funding partners, which are accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees.

Gross profit was RMB835 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to RMB1,219 million in the first quarter of 2025.

Sales and marketing expenses was RMB512 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to RMB493 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in personnel-related costs.

Research and development expenses was RMB148 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to RMB156 million in the first quarter of 2025.

General and administrative expenses was RMB97.5 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to RMB101 million in the first quarter of 2025.

Change in fair value of financial guarantee derivatives and loans at fair value was a gain of RMB161 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to a gain of RMB74.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. The change was primarily driven by the fair value gains realized as a result of the release of guarantee obligation as loans are repaid, partially offset by the fair value loss from the re-measurement of the expected loss rates.

Income tax expense was RMB68.0 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to RMB101 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in income before income tax expense.

Net income was RMB201 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to RMB430 million in the first quarter of 2025.

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.
