X Financial Reports First Quarter 2026 Unaudited Financial Results
SHENZHEN, China, May 27, 2026
/PRNewswire/ -- X Financial (NYSE: XYF) (“X Financial” or the “Company” or “we”), a leading
Chinese fintech platform, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
First Quarter 2026 Operational Highlights
| · | Total loan amount facilitated and originated1
in the first quarter of 2026 was RMB14.63 billion, down 35.8% from RMB22.77 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025, and down 58.4%
from RMB35.15 billion in the same period of 2025. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year declines reflect the Company's continued
tightening of credit standards, as a precaution, amid a challenging operating environment. |
| · | Total outstanding loan balance2
at the end of the first quarter of 2026 was RMB35.28 billion, down 30.1% from RMB50.45 billion at the end of the fourth quarter
of 2025 and down 39.6% from RMB58.40 billion as of the same period of 2025. |
| · | The number of loans the Company facilitated and originated in the
first quarter of 2026 was approximately 1.25 million, a decrease of 49.5% quarter-over-quarter and 60.4% year-over-year. The average
loan amount per transaction in the first quarter of 2026 was RMB11,741. The declines reflect the Company's deliberate tightening of credit
standards and strategic reduction in origination activity, prioritizing higher-quality borrowers over volume. |
| · | Number of active borrowers3
in the first quarter of 2026 was 956,520, down 43.5% from 1,692,507 in the fourth quarter of 2025 and down 60.6% from 2,425,504
in the same period of 2025, reflecting the Company's continued strategic tightening of credit standards and focus on higher-quality origination. |
| · | Cumulative number of active borrowers4
reached 20.36 million as of March 31, 2026, an increase of 17.0% from 17.40 million as of the same period of 2025. |
| · | The
delinquency rate for all outstanding loans that are past due for 31-60 days5
was 2.61% as of March 31, 2026 (compared with 2.90% at the end of the fourth
quarter of 2025 and 1.25% as of the same period of 2025). The delinquency rate for all outstanding
loans that are past due 91-180 days6 was 9.95% as of March 31, 2026 (compared
with 6.31% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025 and 2.73% as of the same period of 2025).
The increase in the 91–180 day delinquency rate primarily reflects the migration of
previously delinquent balances further into that bucket and the effect of a significantly
reduced total outstanding loan balance, both of which contribute to a higher reported rate,
rather than a deterioration in the quality of more recent originations. |
1 Represents the total
amount of loans that the Company facilitated and originated during the relevant period.
2
Represents the total amount of loans outstanding for loans that the Company facilitated and originated at the end of the relevant period.
Loans that are delinquent for more than 60 days are excluded in the outstanding loan balance, except for Xiaoying Housing Loans. As Xiaoying
Housing Loans is a secured loan product and the Company is entitled to payment by exercising its rights to the collateral, the Company
does not exclude Xiaoying Housing Loans delinquent for more than 60 days in the outstanding loan balance.
3 Represents borrowers
who made at least one transaction on the Company's platform during the relevant period.
4
Represents borrowers who made at least one transaction on the Company's platform since inception through the end of the relevant period.
5 Represents the balance of the outstanding principal for
Xiaoying Credit Loans that were 31 to 60 days past due as a percentage of the total balance of outstanding principal for Xiaoying Credit
Loans that the Company facilitated and originated as of a specific date. Xiaoying Credit Loans that are delinquent for more than 60 days
are excluded when calculating the denominator. Starting from the first quarter of 2021, substantially all of the loans facilitated and
originated by the Company have been Xiaoying Credit Loans.
6 To make the delinquency rate by balance comparable to
the peers, the Company also defines the delinquency rate as the balance of the outstanding principal for Xiaoying Credit Loans that were
91 to 180 days past due as a percentage of the total balance of outstanding principal for the Xiaoying Credit Loans that the Company
facilitated and originated as of a specific date. Xiaoying Credit Loans that are delinquent for more than 180 days are excluded when
calculating the denominator.

First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights
| · | Total net revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was RMB1.18 billion
(US$170.5 million), representing a decrease of 39.3% from RMB1.94 billion in the same period of 2025 and a decrease
of 19.9% from the previous quarter. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by significantly lower loan facilitation volumes
amid the Company's continued tightening of credit standards and focus on higher-quality origination. |
| · | Income
from operations in the first quarter of 2026 was RMB140.7 million (US$20.4 million),
a decrease of 75.4% compared to RMB572.9 million in the same period of 2025.
The decline was primarily driven by a sharp reduction in loan facilitation service fees of
RMB807.7 million, or 74.9%, year-over-year, and a RMB136.3 million increase in provision
for contingent guarantee liabilities. These headwinds were partially offset by a RMB489.2
million reduction in borrower acquisition and marketing expenses, or 69.0% year-over-year,
reflecting the Company's strategic reduction in origination activity in response to tighter
credit standards. As a result, operating margin7 decreased to 12.0% from 29.6%
in the same period of 2025, reflecting the impact of elevated credit-related costs and significantly
reduced contribution from higher-margin facilitation services. |
| · | Net income in the first quarter of 2026 was RMB37.9 million (US$5.5
million), compared with RMB458.1 million in the same period of 2025, a decrease of 91.7% year-over-year, primarily reflecting
substantially higher credit-related provisions and significantly lower loan facilitation revenue amid reduced origination volumes. |
7 Financial Ratios:
–
Operating margin: Calculated as Income from Operations for the quarter divided by Total Net Revenue for the quarter.
–
Net profit margin: Calculated as Net Income for the quarter divided by Total Net Revenue for the quarter.
–
Annualized Net Income: Calculated by multiplying the net income for the quarter by four to estimate a full-year equivalent.
–
Return on equity: Calculated as Annualized Net Income divided by the average of Total Shareholders’ Equity
at the beginning and end of the quarter. This measure presents a full-year equivalent ROE based on a single quarter’s
performance.
| · | Non-GAAP8
adjusted net income in the first quarter of 2026, excluding share-based compensation
and certain investment-related items, was RMB81.2 million (US$11.8 million), compared
with RMB466.8 million in the same period of 2025. This measure is used by the Company to
assess its core profitability on an adjusted basis. |
| · | Net income per basic and diluted American depositary share ("ADS")
in the first quarter of 2026 was RMB0.96 and RMB0.96 (US$0.14 and US$0.14), respectively, compared with RMB10.92 and RMB10.56 in the same
period of 2025. |
| · | Non-GAAP adjusted net income per basic and diluted ADS in the first
quarter of 2026 was RMB2.10 and RMB2.04 (US$0.30 and US$0.30), respectively, compared with RMB11.10 and RMB10.74 in the same period of
2025. |
Each ADS represents six Class A ordinary shares.

Mr. Kent Li, President of X Financial,
commented: "In the first quarter of 2026, we facilitated and originated RMB14.6 billion in loans, reflecting a substantial
decline of 35.8% from the prior quarter and 58.4% year-over-year. Borrower activity continued to moderate, with active borrowers declining
to approximately 956,520, down 60.6% from a year ago, reflecting the Company's deliberate focus on higher-quality origination and tighter
credit standards. The 31–60 day delinquency rate eased to 2.61% from 2.90% in the prior quarter, reflecting improvement in more
recent origination quality. The 91–180 day rate rose to 9.95%, driven by the migration of existing delinquent balances further into
that bucket rather than fresh deterioration in new originations. In response, we have further strengthened our risk management framework,
enhanced collection strategies, and adjusted capital deployment to preserve balance sheet resilience. While profitability was significantly
impacted by higher provisions and narrower margins, we believe these actions appropriately position the Company for the challenging environment
ahead."

We use in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) adjusted net income (loss), (ii) adjusted net income (loss)
per basic ADS, (iii) adjusted net income (loss) per diluted ADS, (iv) adjusted net income (loss) per basic share, and (v) adjusted net
income (loss) per diluted share, each of which excludes share-based compensation expense, impairment losses on financial investments,
income (loss) from financial investments, gain (loss) from financial investments at equity method and impairment losses on long-term
investments.
Mr. Frank Fuya Zheng, Chief
Financial Officer of X Financial, added: "In the first quarter of 2026, total net revenue was RMB1.18 billion, a decrease
of 39.3% from the same period last year and 19.9% sequentially. Net income was RMB37.9 million and non-GAAP adjusted net income was RMB81.2
million, both significantly lower than the prior year period, primarily due to substantially higher credit-related provisions and significantly
lower loan facilitation revenue amid reduced origination volumes. Basic earnings per ADS were RMB0.96, and non-GAAP adjusted earnings
per ADS were RMB2.10. Operating margin7 improved to 12.0% from 1.4% in the prior quarter, though remained significantly below
the 29.6% recorded in the same period of 2025, reflecting the ongoing impact of elevated credit costs and reduced contribution from higher-margin
facilitation services. We will continue to manage capital conservatively, strengthen our balance sheet, and maintain cost discipline
to support business resilience amid an evolving regulatory and operating landscape."
Business Outlook & Share Repurchase Plans:
| · | Business Outlook: Based on current trends, X Financial expects the
total loan amount facilitated and originated in the second quarter of 2026 to be in the range of RMB 11.5 billion to RMB 12.5
billion. This guidance reflects a measured pace of origination following a sequential decline in the first quarter and management's
continued focus on asset quality, credit discipline, and profitability optimization rather than aggressive volume expansion. The Company
remains attentive to recent regulatory developments and evolving credit conditions, and acknowledges that potential regulatory changes,
once implemented, could adversely affect margins and profitability. The Company will continue to exercise prudent risk control and disciplined
execution to navigate the evolving environment and support long-term business resilience. |
| · | Capital Return to Shareholders: From January 1, 2026 through
May 15, 2026, X Financial repurchased an aggregate of approximately 1.8 million ADSs, for a total consideration of
approximately US$8.2 million under its share repurchase programs. The Company now has approximately US$39.8 million remaining
under its existing US$100 million share repurchase program, which is effective through November 30, 2026. This program
reflects the Company's commitment to returning capital to shareholders and enhancing long-term shareholder value, subject to ongoing assessment
of market and regulatory conditions. Repurchases under the program remain subject to market conditions and other factors and may be modified
or suspended at management's discretion. |
First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Revenue Performance and Business Drivers:
Total net revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was RMB1,176.1 million (US$170.5 million), a decrease of 39.3% from RMB1,937.5
million in the same period of 2025, and a decrease of 19.9% from the fourth quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decline was mainly
attributable to significantly lower loan facilitation volumes, which reduced loan facilitation service revenue and post-origination service
revenue, partially offset by growth in guarantee income and financing income. The quarter-over-quarter decline reflected the Company's
continued tightening of credit standards and a strategic shift toward lower-volume, higher-quality origination amid a more challenging
operating environment.
Revenue performance varied across business lines in the first quarter
of 2026. Loan facilitation service fees decreased 74.9% year-over-year to RMB270.7 million (US$39.2 million), primarily
reflecting a sharp decline in the total loan amount facilitated compared with the same period of 2025. Post-origination service fees
decreased 26.2% to RMB196.2 million (US$28.4 million), consistent with lower new origination volumes and a declining outstanding
loan balance. Guarantee income increased significantly by 211.5% to RMB258.3 million (US$37.4 million), primarily reflecting
continued recognition of guarantee-related revenue from the existing guaranteed loan portfolio. Financing income increased 8.9%
to RMB337.8 million (US$49.0 million), while other revenue decreased 43.4% to RMB113.2 million (US$16.4 million).
Return on equity7 decreased to 1.9%, compared with 25.5% in the same period of 2025, primarily reflecting substantially
lower net income during the quarter.
Asset Quality: The 31–60
day delinquency rate was 2.61% as of March 31, 2026, compared with 2.90% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025 and 1.25%
as of the same period of 2025. The 91–180 day delinquency rate was 9.95%, compared with 6.31% at the end of the fourth quarter
of 2025 and 2.73% as of the same period of 2025. Provision for contingent guarantee liabilities increased substantially to RMB200.0
million, primarily reflecting higher guaranteed loan balances and elevated credit risk exposure. Overall, credit-related costs rose
significantly during the quarter, reflecting a more cautious approach to risk management and higher expected loss provisions.
Profitability and Margins:
Profitability declined in the first quarter of 2026 as elevated credit-related provisions and lower revenue continued to weigh on earnings.
Operating margin7 decreased to 12.0%, compared with 29.6% in the same period of 2025 and 1.4%
in the fourth quarter of 2025, as origination-related provisions moderated sequentially. The increase in total expenses on a year-over-year
basis, as a percentage of revenue, was primarily driven by a sharp rise in provisions for contingent guarantee liabilities and other
credit loss reserves, reflecting elevated credit risk exposures and higher guarantee balances. This was partially offset by a significant
reduction in borrower acquisition and marketing expenses of RMB489.2 million, or 69.0%, year-over-year, as the Company deliberately reduced
origination activity in response to tighter credit standards and a more challenging operating environment. Net profit margin7
narrowed to 3.2%, down from 23.6% in the same period of 2025, reflecting increased risk costs and a less favorable revenue
mix. Net income decreased 91.7% year-over-year to RMB37.9 million (US$5.5 million). Net income per basic ADS was
RMB0.96 (US$0.14), down 33.3% sequentially and down 91.2% from a year ago.
Funding and Liquidity:
The Company maintained a stable funding position in the first quarter of 2026 amid a more challenging operating environment. Cash and
cash equivalents totaled RMB1.02 billion (US$148.0 million) as of March 31, 2026, compared with RMB987.6 million
as of December 31, 2025. Total restricted cash was RMB1.35 billion (US$195.4 million), bringing total cash (including
restricted) to approximately RMB2.37 billion (US$343.5 million). Shareholders' equity was RMB7.77 billion (US$1.13 billion).
The equity-to-assets ratio was approximately 57.1% as of March 31, 2026, reflecting the reduction in total assets during the
period. Total assets were RMB13.61 billion (US$1.97 billion).
Regulatory Update: The
regulatory environment governing internet-based lending in the People's Republic of China continued to evolve during the first quarter
of 2026, with authorities further strengthening oversight across the consumer credit business chain. The Company continues to monitor
these developments closely; however, management has limited visibility into the ultimate scope and direction of implementation. If current
and emerging regulatory requirements are implemented as currently understood, the Company's operating results may be materially and adversely
affected, and historical levels of profitability should not be assumed to be indicative of future performance.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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 (loss), (ii) adjusted net income (loss) per basic ADS, (iii) adjusted net income (loss) per diluted
ADS, (iv) adjusted net income (loss) per basic share, and (v) adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, each of which excludes
share-based compensation expense, impairment losses on financial investments, income (loss) from financial investments, gain (loss) from
financial investments at equity method and impairment losses on long-term investments. 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 "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results" set forth
at the end of this press release.
