“Despite pandemic-driven uncertainty and challenging market conditions as well as a continuously shifting regulatory environment, we were able to conclude 2020 with further improvements in our asset quality as we remained vigilant in our cash credit business operation,” said Mr. Min Luo, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Qudian. “During the fourth quarter of 2020, we maintained strict credit approval standards as we focused on borrowers with strong credit profiles. By the end of the fourth quarter, our overall D1 delinquency rate^[^^4]^ fell to approximately 11%, from around 17% at the end of the third quarter, reflecting the effectiveness of our strategy. As 2021 unfolds, we will continue to prudently operate our cash loan business while simultaneously exploring new areas for growth.”

“Given that 2020 saw the impact from a weakened global economy and intricate online lending market dynamics, we upheld stringent credit risk assessments for new loans originated on our platform. At the same time, we remain dedicated to pursuing new investment opportunities. Supported by ample cash reserves and a healthy financial position, our core strengths and solid fundamentals can bolster the long-term sustainability of our overall business,” said Ms. Sissi Zhu, Vice President of Investor Relations of Qudian.

^[4]^ “D1 delinquency rate” is defined as (i) the total amount of principal and financing service fees<br>that became overdue as of a specified date, divided by (ii) the total amount of principal and financing services fees that was due for repayment as of such date, in each case with respect to our loan book business and transaction services<br>business.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use adjusted net income/loss, a Non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. We believe that adjusted net income/loss helps identify underlying trends in our business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges, and convertible bonds buyback income. We believe that adjusted net income/loss provides useful information about our operating results, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Adjusted net income/loss is not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This Non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, cash flows or our liquidity, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss / income, cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operation and cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We mitigate these limitations by reconciling the Non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.

For more information on this Non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.
