Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Yiren Digital reported a sharp downturn in late-2025 results. Fourth-quarter 2025 net revenue was RMB957.6 million, down 34% year over year, and the company posted a net loss of RMB882.2 million versus profit a year earlier, mainly due to heavy provisions on risk-taking loan assets and higher expected loss rates.

For full-year 2025, total net revenue was broadly flat at RMB5,719.2 million, but net income fell to RMB40.5 million from RMB1,582.3 million as allowance and contingent liability provisions rose sharply with the expansion of its risk-taking credit model and a higher-risk asset profile. Adjusted EBITDA turned to a RMB109.6 million loss from a large prior-year gain, while delinquency rates increased across buckets.

The credit solution business remained the core growth engine, with 2025 revenue rising 45% to RMB5,040.0 million on greater loan volumes under the risk-taking model. Insurance brokerage revenue declined 27% and e-commerce-related revenue fell significantly. Management highlighted broad deployment of AI in risk management, collections, and marketing, which helped lower sales and operating costs relative to loan growth. Cash and cash equivalents were RMB3,348.1 million as of December 31, 2025, and the board decided to suspend the cash dividend for the second half of 2025 to preserve capital and fund technology investments.

Positive

  • Credit solution revenue growth: Revenue from the credit solution business rose 45% in 2025 to RMB5,040.0 million, supported by higher loan volumes under the risk-taking model and increased marketing and technical services.
  • Operational efficiency gains: Sales and marketing expenses fell 3% in 2025 while total loan facilitation volume grew 26%, aided by higher repeat-borrower mix and AI-assisted marketing and servicing.
  • Solid liquidity: Cash and cash equivalents totaled RMB3,348.1 million at December 31, 2025, providing a sizeable liquidity buffer alongside RMB483.7 million of financial investments.

Negative

  • Profitability collapse: Net income fell to RMB40.5 million in 2025 from RMB1,582.3 million in 2024, and adjusted EBITDA turned to a RMB109.6 million loss from a large prior-year gain.
  • Severe Q4 loss and credit costs: Q4 2025 net revenue dropped 34% year over year to RMB957.6 million and the company posted a RMB882.2 million net loss, driven by RMB1,110.1 million of contingent liability provisions and higher allowances.
  • Worsening asset quality: Delinquency rates at December 31, 2025 rose to 3.4%, 3.0% and 2.8% for 1–30, 31–60 and 61–90 day buckets, respectively, up notably from September 30, 2025 levels.
  • Dividend suspension: The board chose to temporarily suspend the cash dividend for the second half of 2025 to preserve capital for potential credit fluctuations and technology investment.
  • Segment pressures outside core credit: Insurance brokerage revenue declined 27% to RMB297.6 million in 2025 due to commission compression and tighter conditions, and other business revenue, including e-commerce, fell sharply to RMB381.6 million from RMB1,924.4 million.

Insights

Surging credit costs, rising delinquencies and dividend suspension mark a materially weaker year.

Yiren Digital moved deeper into a risk-taking lending model in 2025, which drove 45% revenue growth in its credit solution business to RMB5,040.0 million. However, this came with sharply higher allowances and contingent liability provisions totaling RMB2,366.3 million for the year, compressing profitability.

Fourth-quarter 2025 showed the strain most clearly: net revenue fell 34% to RMB957.6 million, and the company recorded a net loss of RMB882.2 million, driven by front-loaded provisions required on expanding risk-taking loan balances and a higher-risk asset profile. Delinquency rates at December 31, 2025 rose to 3.4%, 3.0% and 2.8% for the 1–30, 31–60 and 61–90 day buckets, up from 2.7%, 1.7% and 1.4% at September 30, 2025, indicating a deteriorating credit environment.

Full-year net income dropped to RMB40.5 million from RMB1,582.3 million, and adjusted EBITDA swung to a RMB109.6 million loss from a substantial prior-year gain. While AI-enabled efficiencies helped reduce sales and operating costs relative to the 26% increase in loan facilitation volume, the balance sheet impact of higher credit risk dominated. The board’s decision to suspend the second-half 2025 cash dividend to maintain reserves and fund technology underscores a more defensive capital stance despite ending the year with RMB3,348.1 million of cash and cash equivalents.

Yiren Digital Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results

 

BEIJING, March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Yiren Digital Ltd. (NYSE: YRD) (“Yiren Digital” or the “Company”), a leading fintech company specializing in digital consumer lending, insurance and financial technology innovation across China and global markets, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and 2025 fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

 

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2025 Operational Highlights

 

Credit Solution Business (formerly known as Financial Services Business)

 

Total loans facilitated in the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB12.0 billion (US$1.7 billion), representing a decrease of 40% compared to RMB20.2 billion in the third quarter of 2025 and a decrease of 22% compared to RMB15.4 billion in the same period of 2024. Total loans facilitated for the 2025 full year reached RMB67.8 billion (US$9.7 billion), representing an increase of 26% from RMB53.6 billion in 2024.

 

Number of borrowers served in the fourth quarter of 2025 was 742,444, representing a decrease of 44% compared to 1,335,978 in the third quarter of 2025 and a decrease of 52% compared to 1,560,789 in the same period of 2024. The decrease was due to the strategic tightening of the credit policy amid ongoing industry-wide fluctuations in credit risk.

 

·Repeat borrowers’ loan amount1 accounted for 77% of the total volume of loans facilitated in the fourth quarter of 2025, in line with the third quarter of 2025. Repeat borrowers’ loan amount percentage was 76% for the 2025 full year, compared to 59% in 2024.

 

Cumulative number of borrowers served reached 14,295,499 as of December 31, 2025, representing an increase of 2% from 14,006,873 as of September 30, 2025, and an increase of 16% compared to 12,350,400 as of December 31, 2024.

 

Outstanding balance of performing loans facilitated was RMB28.6 billion (US$4.1 billion) as of December 31, 2025, representing a decrease of 17% from RMB34.2 billion as of September 30, 2025, and an increase of 15% compared to RMB24.8 billion as of December 31, 2024.

 

 

1“Repeat borrowers’ loan amount” refers to the proportion of total loan facilitation and origination volume through Yixianghua platform in a given period that is generated by borrowers who have previously completed at least one successful drawdown during that period.

 

 

Insurance Brokerage Business

 

Gross written premiums in the fourth quarter of 2025 were RMB860.1 million (US$123.0 million), representing a decrease of 25% from RMB1,148.0 million in the third quarter of 2025 and a decrease of 22% compared to RMB1,100.3 million in the same period of 2024. The decline was primarily due to reduced gross written premiums from broker channels, partially offset by the continued strong growth of the internet insurance distribution business.

 

Cumulative number of insurance clients was 2,035,550 as of December 31, 2025, representing an increase of 10% from 1,853,435 as of September 30, 2025, and an increase of 33% from 1,532,119 as of December 31, 2024.

 

Number of new insurance policies in the fourth quarter of 2025 was 824,225, representing a 16% increase from 710,079 in the third quarter of 2025, and a 68% increase from 490,409 in the same period of 2024. This was primarily driven by the rapid expansion of internet distribution channels throughout 2025.

 

“Our early efforts to strengthen credit standards and proactively build financial buffers ahead of the industry downturn have allowed us to navigate a challenging market environment while maintaining stable operations,” said Mr. Ning Tang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yiren Digital. “The AI-driven risk management system we built over the past two years is delivering measurable results, sharpening our credit decision-making capabilities and reinforcing our operational resilience in China’s evolving credit market. These same AI capabilities are enabling us to scale our internet insurance distribution business, which sustained strong growth momentum in 2025 and meaningfully expanded our addressable market. Our strategic focus in 2026 is to deepen our AI-driven operating model and accelerate the transformation of our two core business segments into purpose-built frameworks that serve institutional and individual clients and generate more commercial opportunities from the AI technologies we have developed over the past few years.”

 

“Fiscal 2025 was a period of elevated credit risk across the consumer lending industry, and we met this environment with disciplined risk management and proactive balance sheet stewardship. We tightened our credit policy early and accumulated cash reserves to ensure we navigated the cycle with excess financial strength. Our internet insurance distribution business delivered strong momentum throughout the year, emerging as a meaningful contributor to revenue diversification and a proof point of our ability to scale new business lines,” Mr. William Hui, Chief Financial Officer of Yiren Digital, commented.

 

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results

 

Total net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB957.6 million (US$136.9 million), representing a decrease of 34% from RMB1,452.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

 

Within this, revenue from credit solution business was RMB832.7 million (US$119.1 million), representing a decrease of 21% from RMB1,047.8 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was mainly attributed to a decline in service fee rate under the new regulatory framework and a proactive, strategic scale-back on the loan facilitation volume of credit solution business amid heightened market risks. Revenue from credit solution business accounted for 87% of total net revenue in the fourth quarter.

 

2

 

Revenue from insurance brokerage business was RMB83.8 million (US$12.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of 21% from RMB106.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 due to structural compression in service fee rate in recent years. The internet distribution sub-segment has demonstrated strong growth momentum since mid-2025 and its contribution to total brokerage revenue is increasing significantly in the fourth quarter of 2025 to 22%.

 

Revenue from other business was RMB41.1 million (US$5.9 million), compared with RMB298.0 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to the continued decline in sales through the e-commerce business.

 

Sales and marketing expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 were RMB206.1 million (US$29.5 million), a decrease of 31% compared to RMB298.5 million in the same period of 2024. This change was mainly attributable to a scale-down in facilitated loan volume in the fourth quarter of 2025, and a higher contribution from repeat borrowers through Yixianghua platform, which increased to 77%, compared with 65% in the same period last year, and a decrease in new customer acquisition costs as the result of AI-assisted precision marketing.

 

Origination, servicing and other operating costs in the fourth quarter of 2025 were RMB250.9 million (US$35.9 million), representing a 27% increase from RMB197.2 million in the same period of 2024. The increase reflects a strategic decision to raise asset recovery commissions to incentivize stronger recovery performance amid a challenging credit environment. These incremental recovery costs were partially offset by meaningful savings from the accelerated deployment of AI agents and automation across the collection and customer service workflows, as well as disciplined cost management across broader operations.

 

Research and development expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 were RMB121.4 million (US$17.4 million), a decrease of 26% compared to RMB164.7 million in the same period of 2024, and an increase of 33% from RMB91.5 million in the third quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decrease in R&D expenses was mainly due to a high base resulting from a one-off development expense in the AI credit system in the second half of 2024. With that build largely complete, the deeper integration of AI automation tools across the credit analytic workflows in 2025 delivered measurable efficiency gains and a more optimized cost structure. R&D expenses increased in the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter due to increased investment in senior AI R&D talent to support the execution of the 2026 AI roadmap.

 

General and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 were RMB44.3 million (US$6.3 million), representing a modest increase of 5%, compared to RMB42.2 million in the same period of 2024 and a decrease of 58% from RMB104.4 million in the third quarter of 2025. As Yiren Digital continues to invest in talent and implement organizational restructuring to strengthen its operational capabilities, these expenses may have some seasonal fluctuation.

 

3

 

Allowance for contract assets, receivables and others in the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB295.8 million (US$42.3 million), compared to RMB203.1 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was driven by higher receivables from guarantee services and financing services, fueled by rising expected loss rates amid an industry-level higher risk profile of assets.

 

Provision for contingent liabilities in the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB1,110.1 million (US$158.7 million), compared to RMB250.7 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the overall growth in loan volume originated under the risk-taking model 2, coupled with a higher-risk asset profile.

 

Fair value adjustments gain/(loss) in the fourth quarter of 2025 was a loss of RMB84.9 million (US$12.1 million), compared to a gain of RMB16.9 million in the same period of 2024, and a gain of RMB161.3 million in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease primarily resulted from fair value changes in crypto assets, reflecting the overall decline in digital asset prices during the fourth quarter of 2025.

 

Income tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB245.3 million (US$35.1 million).

 

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB882.2 million (US$126.1 million), compared to a net income of RMB331.4 million in the same period in 2024. The loss primarily resulted from substantial upfront provisions recognized in the quarter for risk-taking model assets in the credit solution business — required by accounting standards for the expanding loan volume under the risk-taking model — along with a higher-risk asset profile and lower fee rates in the loan facilitation business under the new regulations. The short-term impact of accounting standards on earnings should normalize as the risk-taking loan balance stabilizes.

 

Adjusted EBITDA3 (non-GAAP) in the fourth quarter of 2025 was a loss of RMB1,022.8 million (US$146.3 million), compared to a gain of RMB319.5 million in the same period of 2024 and a gain of RMB236.8 million in the third quarter of 2025.

 

Basic and diluted loss per ADS in the fourth quarter of 2025 were RMB10.1230 (US$1.4476) and RMB10.0650 (US$1.4392), respectively, compared to basic and diluted income per ADS of RMB3.8378 and RMB3.8156, respectively, in the same period of 2024.

 

Net cash used in operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB197.6 million (US$28.3 million), compared to RMB373.0 million generated from operating activities in the same period of 2024.

 

Net cash provided by investing activities in the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB50.8 million (US$7.3 million), compared to RMB32.9 million used in investing activities in the same period of 2024.

 

 

2“The risk-taking model” refers to the framework in which Yiren Digital assumes the credit risk for the loans facilitated on its platform.

 

3“Adjusted EBITDA” is a non-GAAP financial measure. For more information on this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the section of “Operating Highlights and Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” and the table captioned “Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA” set forth at the end of this press release.

Net cash used in financing activities in the fourth quarter of 2025 was RMB234.1 million (US$33.5 million), compared to RMB114.3 million in the same period of 2024.

 

As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were RMB3,348.1 million (US$478.8 million), compared to RMB3,841.3 million as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, the balance of financial investments was RMB483.7 million (US$69.2 million), compared to RMB437.2 million as of December 31, 2024.

 

Delinquency rates4. As of December 31, 2025, the delinquency rates for loans that are past due for 1-30 days, 31-60 days and 61-90 days were 3.4%, 3.0% and 2.8%, respectively, compared to 2.7%, 1.7% and 1.4%, respectively, as of September 30, 2025.

 

Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results

 

Total net revenue in 2025 was RMB5,719.2 million (US$817.8 million), representing a decrease of 1% from RMB5,805.9 million in 2024.

 

By segment, revenue from credit solution business was RMB5,040.0 million (US$720.7 million), representing an increase of 45% from RMB3,473.1 million in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to increased guarantee services revenue from overall growth in loan volume originated under the risk-taking model in 2025, as well as to increased revenue from marketing services and technical support services.

 

Revenue from insurance brokerage business was RMB297.6 million (US$42.6 million) in 2025, representing a decrease of 27% from RMB408.4 million in 2024. The decline reflects structural compression in brokerage commission rates and tightened market conditions under enhanced regulatory oversight in recent years. However, the internet distribution channel has demonstrated strong growth momentum in 2025 and accounted for 14% of revenue in this segment for the whole year result.

 

Revenue from other business was RMB381.6 million (US$54.6 million), compared with the revenue of RMB1,924.4 million in 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to a continued decline in sales from the e-commerce business.

 

 

4“Delinquency rates” refers to the outstanding principal balance of loans that were 1-30 days, 31-60 days and 61-90 days past due as a percentage of the total performing outstanding principal balance of loans as of a specific date. Loans originating outside mainland China are not included in the calculation. We define a performing loan as one that is being repaid according to the agreed terms and has not become delinquent for more than 90 days.

 

5

 

Sales and marketing expenses in 2025 were RMB1,159.9 million (US$165.9 million), a 3% decrease compared to RMB1,196.4 million in 2024, while total loan facilitation increased by 26% in 2025, reflecting improved customer acquisition efficiency. The decline in sales and marketing expenses was mainly attributable to a higher contribution from repeat borrowers through the Yixianghua platform, which increased to 76% in 2025, compared with 59% in 2024. The increasing application of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (“AIGC”) and AI agents in tele-sales also contributed to the decrease in this expense.

 

Origination, servicing and other operating costs in 2025 were RMB786.4 million (US$112.5 million), representing an 11% decrease from RMB883.0 million in 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by cost savings from decreased insurance brokerage business along with the broader use of AI agents to automate customer service, and enhanced cost discipline in overall operations. 

 

Research and development expenses in 2025 were RMB406.6 million (US$58.1 million), representing a decrease of 1% compared to RMB411.9 million in 2024. R&D expenses were well-balanced in 2025 as the AI credit system completed a major upgrade at the end of 2024, which created cost savings, offset by an increase in AI talent for future AI initiatives.

 

General and administrative expenses in 2025 were RMB323.4 million (US$46.2 million), representing an increase of 18% compared to RMB274.7 million in 2024, primarily driven by the continuous investment in professionals and specialized talent to support business diversification and strengthen risk management, alongside organizational restructuring initiatives.

 

Allowance for contract assets, receivables and others in 2025 was RMB892.7 million (US$127.6 million), compared to RMB523.6 million in 2024. The increase was driven by increased loan facilitation volume in 2025 compared to the prior year, which resulted in higher receivables and a corresponding increase in the allowance.

 

Provision for contingent liabilities in 2025 was RMB2,366.3 million (US$338.4 million), compared to RMB869.3 million in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the overall growth in loan volume originated under the risk-taking model in 2025, coupled with a higher-risk asset profile.

 

Fair value adjustments gain in 2025 was RMB46.1 million (US$6.6 million) compared to RMB107.5 million in 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to fair value changes in crypto assets, reflecting weaker digital asset prices in the fourth quarter of 2025.

 

Income tax benefit in 2025 was RMB99.0 million (US$14.2 million), compared to an income tax expense of RMB279.2 million in 2024.

 

6

 

Net income in 2025 was RMB40.5 million (US$5.8 million), compared to RMB1,582.3 million in 2024. The decrease primarily resulted from increasing allowance of contract assets and receivables due to more loan facilitation volume during the period, plus substantial upfront provisions recognized for the risk-taking model assets in the fourth quarter of 2025 required by accounting standards, along with a higher-risk asset profile and lower fee rates in the loan facilitation business under new regulations. The short-term impact of accounting standards on earnings should normalize as the risk-taking loan balance stabilizes.

 

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) in 2025 was a loss of RMB109.6 million (US$15.7 million), compared to a gain of RMB1,776.2 million in 2024.

 

Basic and diluted income per ADS in 2025 were RMB0.4670 (US$0.0668) and RMB0.4640 (US$0.0664), respectively, compared to RMB18.2654 and RMB18.1132, respectively, in 2024.

 

Net cash generated from operating activities in 2025 was RMB686.7 million (US$98.2 million), compared to RMB1,424.1 million in 2024.

 

Net cash used in investing activities in 2025 was RMB1,554.6 million (US$222.3 million), compared to RMB3,113.1 million in 2024.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities in 2025 was RMB662.6 million (US$94.8 million), compared to RMB277.2 million used in financing activities in 2024.

 

Dividend Policy

 

Under the Company’s semi-annual dividend policy, the Board has determined to temporarily suspend the Company’s cash dividend for the second half of 2025. This decision reflects the Company’s current capital priorities, including maintaining appropriate reserves to support potential credit fluctuations in its lending business and funding investments in technology development. The Board periodically reviews the Company’s capital requirements, financial condition and results of operations when considering future dividend declarations.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses several non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental measures to review and assess operating performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our core operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in our financial and operational decision-making. The presentation of these 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. Other companies, including peer companies in the industry, may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as a comparative measure. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance. See “Operating Highlights and Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures” at the end of this press release.
