Mr. Feng Zhang, the Chief Executive Officer of FinVolution, commented, "We continued our upward performance trend in the fourth quarter, helping us close the year on a strong note. Our loan origination volume, which was RMB21 billion and increased 23.6% compared to the previous quarter, exceeded the top end of our guidance range. This better-than-expected performance underscores our core capabilities that support us to navigate through market dynamics. We have successfully completed our strategic transition towards better quality borrowers, as evidenced by the significant improvement in our delinquency levels. Equipped with our framework of enhanced risk assessment and management, we were able to continue decreasing our funding cost, while simultaneously increasing the number of institutional funding partners, allowing us to maintain ample, diversified and stable funding sources on our platform. It is encouraging to see our strong growth momentum continue as we enter into 2021.
"In the light of the evolving market dynamics, our business remains solid with strong loan recovery and growth which began in the third quarter of 2020. Our technological capabilities and effective execution on our plan and strategy support our growth amid recovery. At the same time, our international expansion is progressing rapidly with Indonesia market leading the growth, and we made meaningful strides in other parts of Southeast Asia as we work to strengthen our presence there.
"With the successful transition to higher quality borrowers and improved delinquency rates[8], we now expect our loan origination volume to be in the range of RMB100 billion to RMB120 billion in 2021, representing an increase of between 56% to 87% year-over-year.
"Given our proven track record in technology innovation, prudent risk management and responsive measures taken to navigate challenging economic and credit cycles, we are well positioned to capture the immense potential in China's consumer and micro enterprise markets as well as Southeast Asian fintech markets, ultimately delivering long-term value for our shareholders," concluded Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Jiayuan Xu, the Chief Financial Officer of FinVolution, commented, "In the fourth quarter, amid a recovering COVID-19 environment in Mainland China, we delivered non-GAAP operating profit[1] of RMB613.4 million, representing an increase of 38.0% year-over-year and further demonstrating the resiliency of our core business model. Supported by a strong balance sheet with cash and short-term liquidity of RMB4.6 billion, our leverage ratio remains low at 3.2 times.
"Our Board has also declared the company's third consecutive dividend which reaffirms our confidence in our business model and long term outlook. As a leading platform with innovative technological capabilities and strong balance sheet, FinVolution is well positioned to capture additional opportunities in both Mainland China and internationally," concluded Mr. Xu.
Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2020 increased by 50.3% to RMB1,853.0 million (US$284.0 million) from RMB1,232.8 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the increase in loan volume and the adoption of ASC 326. Before the adoption of ASC 326, gains or losses related to quality assurance commitments were recorded in one combined financial statement line item within other income. After the adoption of ASC 326, the guarantee income (i.e. the guarantee liability) was recorded as a separate financial statement line item within revenue and the credit losses for quality assurance were recorded within expenses. The increase in net revenue was partially offset by the decrease in the average rate of transaction fees.
Loan facilitation service fees increased by 19.4% to RMB643.3 million (US$98.6 million) for the fourth quarter of 2020 from RMB538.9 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the increase in loan origination volume which was partially offset by the decrease in average rate of transaction fees.
Post-facilitation service fees decreased by 36.3% to RMB175.7 million (US$26.9 million) for the fourth quarter of 2020 from RMB275.8 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the decline in outstanding loans serviced by the Company and the rolling impact of deferred transaction fees.
Guarantee income was RMB667.4 million (US$102.3 million) for the fourth quarter of 2020 due to the adoption of ASC 326. After the adoption of ASC 326, the guarantee liabilities of quality assurance commitment are released as revenue systematically over the term of the loans subject to quality assurance commitment.
Net interest income decreased by 35.5% to RMB204.3 million (US$31.3 million) for the fourth quarter of 2020, from RMB316.8 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the reduction in the outstanding loan balances of consolidated trusts and the decrease in interest rates.
Other revenue increased by 60.1% to RMB162.2 million (US$24.9 million) for the fourth quarter of 2020 from RMB101.3 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to increased customer referral fees to other third-party service providers.
Origination and servicing expenses increased by 52.3% to RMB464.9 million (US$71.3 million) for the fourth quarter of 2020 from RMB305.2 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the increases in employees expenditures and fees paid to third party service providers.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 59.1% to RMB209.6 million (US$32.1 million) for the fourth quarter of 2020 from RMB131.7 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the increase in online customer acquisition expenses as a result of the increase in newly registered users on the Company's platform.
General and administrative expenses increased by 55.4% to RMB157.3 million (US$24.1 million) for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to RMB101.2 million in the same period of 2019, due to increased expenditures in employees benefits.
Research and development expenses increased by 14.1% to RMB106.2 million (US$16.3 million) for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to RMB93.1 million in the same period of 2019, due to increased investments into technology development.
Credit losses for quality assurance commitment were RMB308.7 million (US$47.3 million) for the fourth quarter of 2020 due to the adoption of ASC 326. After the adoption of ASC 326, the expected credit losses of quality assurance commitment will be accounted for in addition to and separately from the guarantee liabilities accounted for under ASC 460.
Provision for loans receivables was RMB-42.5 million (US$-6.5 million) for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with RMB102.6 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to better-than-expected delinquency rates as well as the decrease in loan receivables during the quarter.
Provision for accounts receivables and other receivables decreased by 17.0% to RMB53.1 million (US$8.1 million) for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with RMB64.0 million in the same period of 2019 as a result of the improvement in expected delinquency rates.
Operating profit increased by 36.9% to RMB595.6 million (US$91.3 million) for the fourth quarter of 2020 from RMB435.1 million in the same period of 2019.

Other income decreased by 93.1% to RMB2.1 million (US$0.3 million) for the fourth quarter of 2020 from RMB30.3 million in the same period of 2019, mainly due to the decreases in government subsidies and investment gains.
Income tax expenses were RMB100.4 million (US$15.4 million) for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with RMB57.1 million in the same period of 2019, mainly due to the increase in pre-tax profit and change in effective tax rate due to change in revenue contribution from different subsidiaries.
Net profit was RMB497.3 million (US$76.2 million) for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with RMB412.5 million in the same period of 2019.
Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company was RMB493.9 million (US$75.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with RMB411.3 million in the same period of 2019.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB2,632.2 million (US$403.4 million) and short-term investments mainly in wealth management products of RMB1,971.0 million (US$302.1 million).

Net revenue for 2020 increased by 26.8% to RMB7,563.1 million (US$1,159.1 million) from RMB5,962.8 million in 2019, primarily due to the adoption of ASC 326.

After the adoption of ASC 326, the guarantee income (i.e. the guarantee liability) was recorded as a separate financial statement line item within revenue and the credit losses for quality assurance were recorded within expenses.

Origination and servicing expenses increased by 9.7% to RMB1,325.6 million (US$203.2 million) for 2020 from RMB1,208.2 million in the prior year, primarily due to the increase in fees paid to third party service providers.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 33.0% to RMB482.9 million (US$74.0 million) for 2020 from RMB720.3 million in 2019, primarily due to the decrease in online customer acquisition expenses as a result of the decline in newly registered users on the Company's platform during the COVID-19 pandemic period.
General and administrative expenses increased by 5.8% to RMB461.1 million (US$70.7 million) for 2020 from RMB435.8 million in 2019, mainly due to increased expenditures for employees benefits.
Research and development expenses decreased by 5.2% at RMB370.2 million (US$56.7 million) for 2020, compared to RMB390.6 million in 2019, primarily due to a more streamlined workforce in technology-related departments.

Provision for accounts receivables and other receivables decreased by 44.7% to RMB144.7 million (US$22.2 million) for 2020, compared with RMB261.9 million in 2019 as a result of the decline in loan origination volume and improvement in delinquency rates.
