Mr. Kent
Li, President of the Company, commented, “We are pleased to start 2024 with a solid financial performance in the first quarter.
We continued to implement our strategy of proactively and dynamically adjusting loan volumes based on close monitoring of asset quality
dynamics and this, again, proved effective in securing our profitability. As a result, despite a year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter
decline in the loan volume, both our top and bottom lines increased on a yearly and quarterly basis, with notable improvements in profits.”
“In the first quarter, the total loan amount
facilitated and originated decreased by 11% year-over-year and 18% quarter-over-quarter to RMB22 billion, in line with our guidance. Our
total outstanding loan balance was RMB44 billion at the end of March 2024. Delinquency rates for outstanding loans past due for 31-60
days and 91-180 days were 1.61% and 4.37%, respectively, at the end of the quarter, compared to 1.05% and 2.40% a year ago. The increase
in overdue loans as a percentage of total outstanding loans is primarily due to lower outstanding loan balances at this quarter end as
a result of the proactive control of loans facilitated and originated that we initiated in the fourth quarter of last year. Excluding
the impact of the reduced loan volume, asset quality begun to stabilize during this quarter. We remain committed to closely monitor borrowers
through the entire credit cycle, continuously strengthening our risk control system, and taking all necessary measures to mitigate risks.”

The Company uses in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) adjusted net income (loss), (ii) adjusted net income
(loss) per basic ADS, and (iii) adjusted net income (loss) per diluted ADS, each of which excludes share-based compensation expense, impairment
losses on financial investments, income (loss) from financial investments and impairment losses on long-term investments. For more information
on non-GAAP financial measure, please see the section of “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement” and the table captioned
“Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.
7
Each American depositary share (“ADS”) represents six Class A ordinary shares.
“We are confident in our future profitable
growth. With stabilized asset quality, we have clearer visibility on the loan volume for 2024 under our current strategy and expect the
total loan amount facilitated and originated for the full year to be around RMB100 billion. Our commitment to sustainable profitability
and shareholder value creation is unwavering.”
Mr. Frank Fuya Zheng, Chief Financial Officer
of the Company, added, “We are very pleased with the solid financial results we achieved in the first quarter. Total net revenue
was RMB1.2 billion, up 20% year-over-year and 1% quarter-over-quarter despite the decline in loan volumes. Thanks to our strict risk controls
and improved operational efficiency, net income increased by 28% year-over-year and 92% quarter-over-quarter to RMB363 million. This once
again demonstrates the effectiveness of our strategy, strong execution, and commitment to ensuring long-term profitability. Beginning
this quarter, we combined borrower acquisition costs from origination and servicing expenses, indirect expenses of the borrower acquisitions
from general and administrative expenses and sales and marketing expenses into borrower acquisitions and marketing expenses within total
operating costs and expenses to provide a clearer breakdown of the Company’s expenses for investors. Going forward, we will continue
to improve asset quality while optimizing borrower acquisition costs to drive sustainable profitability.”
“Our
board of directors has authorized a new program to repurchase up to $20 million worth of our shares which will be effective from June 1,
2024 through November 30, 2025. We are confident in our position as a public company and will drive long-term returns for
our shareholders.”

net revenue in the first quarter of 2024 increased by 20.2% to RMB1,208.0 million (US$167.3 million) from RMB1,004.9 million

acquisitions and marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2024 decreased by 8.7% to RMB248.4 million (US$34.4 million) from

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement
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, and (iii) adjusted net income (loss) per diluted ADS, each of which excludes share-based compensation
expense, impairment losses on financial investments, income (loss) from financial investments 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 “Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results” set forth
at the end of this press release.

1 Starting in the first quarter of
2024, management has concluded to separate expenses related to borrower acquisitions from origination and servicing expenses and indirect
expenses of the borrower acquisitions from general and administrative expenses to a single line item as these expenses become more and
more significant and thus deemed to be useful to financial statement users. Furtherly, management has determined to embed the sales and
marketing expenses, which is not considered as material, in other line item. In conclusion, management has decided to combine these two
line items into one captioned borrower acquisitions and marketing expenses. Management has correspondingly conformed prior period presentation
to current period presentation to enhance comparability. This change in presentation does not affect any subtotal line on the face of
consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
