LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. Reports First Quarter 2021
Unaudited Financial Results
SHENZHEN, China, June 1, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)/-- LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. (“Lexin” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LX), a leading online consumption and finance platform for new generation consumers and users in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
“We are happy to announce a quarter where we achieved our highest adjusted net income ever in our history,” said Mr. Jay Wenjie Xiao, Lexin's chairman and chief executive officer. “This record quarter was driven by our larger and growing user base, the rapid growth of our loan originations, and the continued improvement of our asset quality due to the implementation of our New Consumption Strategy and the continuous refinement of our risk management efforts. We are confident in our ability to achieve the loan originations target of between RMB240 billion and RMB250 billion for 2021 as we expect the positive trajectory in both loan growth and asset quality to continue for the rest of the year.”
“We accelerated the push of our New Consumption Strategy in the first quarter, and have received positive preliminary results. A total of 78.6 million orders were generated across our various products in the first quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 53.2% year-on-year,” continued Mr. Xiao. “Maiya, in particular, helps merchants to improve their operations as a marketing tool, and we expect this new product to facilitate a GMV of RMB300 million in the second quarter, establishing itself as a new source of growth for Lexin.”
“In the meantime, we have also further diversified our fintech business by entering new areas of growth. We have expanded our financing services for small and micro business owners, which completed loan originations of RMB2.1 billion in the first quarter. Fifteen percent of our current users are may have potential need of such small and micro business financing based on our research and we will step up efforts to tap the potential of this sector in the future. In addition, we expanded a ‘joint-operation service’ in May for regional banks, by which Lexin will provide a suite of technological services to help regional banks develop their own product offerings, leveraging our financial technology, operational, and product capabilities accumulated over the past seven years. These new initiatives will enable Lexin to unlock greater growth potential with a more diversified business model.”
“We are very proud to announce our best quarter ever, and in particular our highest adjusted net income ever,” said Mr. Craig Yan Zeng, Lexin’s chief financial officer, “In addition to our highest loan originations and other all-time highs, all our operations continue to perform strongly, and we were able to achieve this quarter’s strong results due to our increasingly strong and stable credit performance. As highlighted back in January, the recovery and stabilization of our asset quality has already occurred, and we expect this trend to continue.”
“Our credit performance and credit quality continues to improve for new loan originations and is within our expectations,” said Mr. Yang Qiao, Lexin’s vice president, “Our vintage charge-off rates1 is now between 3.5 and 4.0%, and our 90 day+ delinquency rate was 1.84% as of March, 2021. In addition, as you can see from the graphs disclosed with our latest earnings release, our first payment default rate (30 day+)2 for new loan originations have been at well under 1% and continues to decrease. Through continuous improvements and refinements of our risk management systems and our portfolio management systems, we have developed more accurate and differentiated strategies to manage overdue borrowers while enhancing collection rates3 through high efficiency and intelligent tools, as well as more refined business management policies, enabling us to keep our overall collection rates high, improve efficiency, and reduce expected delinquency rates. As a result, we expect our credit performance to continue to be stable in the future.”

First Quarter 2021 Financial Results:
Operating revenue increased from RMB2,500 million in the first quarter of 2020 to RMB2,944 million in the first quarter of 2021. This increase in operating revenue was due to the increase in credit-oriented services income and platform-based services income for the quarter, driven by continuing increases in the number of active users on our platform, partially offset by a decrease in online direct sales and services income.
Page 3 of 14
Online direct sales decreased by 12.9% from RMB490 million in the first quarter of 2020 to RMB426 million in the first quarter of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the number of e-commerce orders during the first quarter of 2021.
Credit-oriented services income increased by 8.9% from RMB1,686 million in the first quarter of 2020 to RMB1,837 million in the first quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to the increase of loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented and the increase of interest and financial services income and other revenues, partially offset by the decrease in guarantee income.
Loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented increased by 39.0% from RMB763 million in the first quarter of 2020 to RMB1,060 million in the first quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily due to the increase in off-balance sheet loans originated under credit-based model as a result of the continuing growth of our business, with the expansion of partnerships with institutional funding partners.
Guarantee income decreased by 65.3% from RMB677 million in the first quarter of 2020 to RMB235 million in the first quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of loan origination of the off-balance sheet loans funded by certain Institutional Funding Partners, which are accounted for as guarantee liabilities under ASC 460, Guarantees.
Interest and financial services income and other revenues increased by 120% from RMB246 million in the first quarter of 2020 to RMB542 million in the first quarter of 2021, which was consistent with the increase in the origination of on-balance sheet loans in the first quarter of 2021.
Platform-based services income increased by 122% from RMB287 million in the first quarter of 2020 to RMB636 million in the first quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily contributed by an increase in the loan facilitation and servicing fees-performance based.
Loan facilitation and servicing fees-performance based increased by 107% from RMB277 million in the first quarter of 2020 to RMB573 million in the first quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the origination of off-balance sheet loans under the performance-based model within platform-based services, driven by continuing increases in the number of active users on our platform.
Cost of sales decreased by 9.7% from RMB480 million in the first quarter of 2020 to RMB433 million in the first quarter of 2021, which is consistent with the decrease of online direct sales revenue.
Funding cost decreased by 9.3% from RMB143 million in the first quarter of 2020 to RMB130 million in the first quarter of 2021, which was consistent with the decrease of the funding debts to fund the on-balance sheet loans.
Processing and servicing cost increased by 26.8% from RMB313 million in the first quarter of 2020 to RMB397 million in the first quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily due to an increase in risk management and collection expenses, and an increase in salaries and personnel related costs, partially offset by a decrease in fees to third party insurance companies and guarantee companies.
Provision for credit losses of financing receivables decreased by 40.7% from RMB290 million in the first quarter of 2020 to RMB172 million in the first quarter of 2021, partially contributed by the decrease of negative impact on expected credit losses from COVID-19 in the first quarter of 2021 compared with that in the first quarter of 2020. The credit losses have reflected the most recent performance in relation to the Company’s on-balance sheet loans and the Company has continued to implement prudent credit assessment and risk management policies and procedures.
Page 4 of 14
Provision for credit losses of contract assets and receivables increased by 145% from RMB89.3 million in the first quarter of 2020 to RMB219 million in the first quarter of 2021. This increase was mainly due to the significant increase in off-balance sheet loans originated as a result of the continuing growth of our business.
Provision for credit losses of contingent liabilities of guarantee decreased by 78.0% from RMB1,017 million in the first quarter of 2020 to RMB224 million in the first quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of loan origination of the off-balance sheet loans funded by certain Institutional Funding Partners, which are accounted for as guarantee liabilities under ASC 460, Guarantees. In addition, the negative impact on expected credit losses from COVID-19 has been much improved in the first quarter of 2021 compared with that in the first quarter of 2020.Gross profit increased by 720% from RMB167 million in the first quarter of 2020 to RMB1,369 million in the first quarter of 2021. The increase in the gross profit is primarily due to the significant increase in platform-based services income and credit-oriented services income, the decrease in provision for credit losses of financing receivables and provision for credit losses of contingent liabilities of guarantee, partially offset by the increase in processing and servicing cost and provision for credit losses of contract assets and receivables.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 41.7% from RMB244 million in the first quarter of 2020 to RMB346 million in the first quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily due to an increase in online advertising cost, and an increase in salaries and personnel related costs.
Research and development expenses decreased by 1.6% from RMB126 million in the first quarter of 2020 to RMB124 million in the first quarter of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation expenses.
General and administrative expenses increased by 19.7% from RMB110 million in the first quarter of 2020 to RMB131 million in the first quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries and personnel related costs.
Change in fair value of financial guarantee derivatives was a gain of RMB154 million in the first quarter of 2021, as compared to a loss of RMB439 million in the first quarter of 2020, when it was significantly impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19 in the first quarter of 2020.The gain was primarily due to the re-measurement of the expected loss rates of the underlying outstanding off-balance sheet loans at the balance sheet date.
Change in fair value of loans at fair value was a loss of RMB77.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. Starting from the second quarter of 2020, for the loans we acquired/purchased from the relevant funding partners during the period, we account for them using fair value option pursuant to ASC 825, Financial Instruments, and record them as “Loans at fair value”. Changes in fair value of these loans are reported net and recorded as “Change in fair value of loans at fair value”.
Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2021 was RMB131 million, as compared to income tax benefit of RMB125 million in the first quarter of 2020. The income tax expense/benefit recognized is consistent with our profit/loss status during the periods.
Net income for the first quarter of 2021 was RMB711 million, as compared to net loss of RMB678 million in the first quarter of 2020.
Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2021 was RMB771 million, as compared to adjusted net loss of RMB596 million in the first quarter of 2020.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement
In evaluating our business, we consider and use adjusted net (loss)/income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, non-GAAP EBIT, adjusted net (loss)/income per ordinary share and per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, four non-GAAP measures, as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of the 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 U.S. GAAP. We define adjusted net (loss)/income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company as net (loss)/income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company excluding share-based compensation expenses, interest expense associated with convertible notes and investment loss and we define non-GAAP EBIT as net (loss)/income excluding income tax (benefit)/expense, share-based compensation expenses, interest expense, net and investment loss.
We present these non-GAAP financial measures because it is used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. Adjusted net (loss)/income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company enables our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses, interest expense associated with convertible notes, and investment loss. Non-GAAP EBIT, on the other hand, enables our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of income tax (benefit)/expense, share-based compensation expenses, interest expense, net, and investment loss. We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using adjusted net (loss)/income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company and non-GAAP EBIT is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect our operations. Share-based compensation expenses, interest expense associated with convertible notes, income tax (benefit)/expense, interest expense, net. and investment loss have been and may continue to be incurred in our business and are not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net (loss)/income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company and non-GAAP EBIT. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP financial information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
We compensate for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, 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.

Starting from the second quarter of 2020, we report revenue streams in three categories—online direct sales and services income, credit-oriented services income and platform-based services income, to provide more relevant information. We also revised the comparative period presentation to conform to current period classification. |
Page 10 of 14
In providing credit-oriented services, we originate on-balance sheet loans, or facilitate the loan origination of off-balance loans where we also provide guarantee services. Consequently, we take all credit risks of borrowers in respect of on-balance sheet loans, and off-balance sheet loans through the relevant guarantee arrangements. By nature, revenue earned from off-balance sheet loans where we also provide guarantee services is recorded as “Loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented” and “Guarantee income,” and interest income and other fees from on-balance sheet loans is recorded as “Interest and financial services income and other revenues.”
In providing platform-based services, we do not provide guarantee services and take no credit risks of borrowers in respect of principal and interests due to the lenders for off-balance sheet loans we facilitate. We either charge the service fees for loan facilitation and servicing at predetermined rates based on the performance of the underlying off-balance sheet loans, which we refer to as performance-based model, or charge the service fees primarily at predetermined rates of amount of loan originations upon successful matching of borrowing requests, which we refer to as volume-based model.
Revenue from “Loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented,” “Loan facilitation and servicing fees-performance based” and “Loan facilitation and servicing fees-volume based” were previously reported as one combined financial statement line item as “Loan facilitation and servicing fees” before the change of presentation.
For online direct sales and services income, we report the premium membership fees for our membership packages as “Membership services,” and the commission fee earned from third-party sellers for the online marketplace services we rendered and other services revenue as “Other services” within “Online direct sales and services income.” The premium membership fees, commission fee earned from third-party sellers and other services revenue were previously reported as “Services and others” within “Online direct sales and services income” before the change of presentation.
