Mr. Tiezheng Li, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FinVolution, commented, “In the first quarter, we delivered continued growth in our overseas business and a resilient performance in the Chinese Mainland segment against an evolving regulatory backdrop, demonstrating the strength of our two-engine model. Beginning this quarter, we are reporting our overseas business as a separate reportable segment, reflecting our strategic trajectory and the earnings power of our diversified business.

“In our Chinese Mainland segment, we executed with discipline, acquiring approximately 0.6 million new borrowers while prioritizing asset quality, customer quality and unit economics. The segment remained stable and profitable, reinforcing its role as the anchor of our operating cash flow.

“Our Overseas Markets segment delivered robust year-over-year revenue growth, contributing 29.6% of our total first quarter revenue. Our ‘Local Excellence, Global Outlook+’ strategy of transferring proven risk management and operational capabilities across regions drove strong year-over-year loan volume growth and more than doubled our unique overseas borrowers, underscoring our accelerating global traction.

“Looking ahead, we will continue to manage our China business prudently while expanding our overseas platform with deeper integration into the local ecosystems. Supported by strong technology advantages and a healthy balance sheet, we are well-positioned to continue creating durable value for customers and delivering sustainable financial returns for our stakeholders,” concluded Mr. Li.

Mr. Jiayuan Xu, Chief Financial Officer of FinVolution, continued, “Total net revenues for the first quarter were RMB3.2 billion, up 6.2% sequentially. Early signs of credit recovery in our Chinese Mainland business supported a recovery in loan origination volume to RMB38.5 billion, driving a 6.9% sequential increase in Chinese Mainland net revenue to RMB2.2 billion. In our overseas markets, revenue grew 34.5% year over year to RMB948.9 million, and operating profit reached RMB45.8 million, up 87.7% year over year, highlighting our overseas platform’s scalability and growing operating leverage.

“Meanwhile, we continued to return capital to our shareholders, executing share repurchases totaling US$39.4 million in the first quarter alongside our 8th annual dividend of US$0.306 per ADS in May, a 10.5% increase year over year. We reiterate our full-year 2026 revenue guidance of approximately RMB11.5 billion to RMB12.9 billion, which reflects the expected near-term impact of China’s regulatory environment. We remain confident in the resilience of our model and committed to long-term value creation,” concluded Mr. Xu.

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Net revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was RMB3,210.1 million (US$465.4 million), compared with RMB3,481.0 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in loan facilitation service fees, post-facilitation service fees and guarantee income, partially offset by increases in net interest income and other revenue.

Loan facilitation service fees were RMB1,181.3 million (US$171.3 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB1,477.8 million for the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in the transaction volume and average rate of transaction service fees in the Chinese Mainland market, partially offset by the increase in transaction volume in overseas markets.

Post-facilitation service fees were RMB348.3 million (US$50.5 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB380.6 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to the rolling impact of deferred transaction fees. 

Guarantee income was RMB886.1 million (US$128.5 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB1,099.5 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in risk-bearing loans in the Chinese Mainland market, as well as the rolling impact of deferred guarantee income. The fair value of quality assurance commitment upon loan origination is released as guarantee income systematically over the term of the loans subject to quality assurance commitment. 

Net interest income was RMB484.7 million (US$70.3 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB241.6 million for the same period of 2025. This increase mainly resulted from the increase in the average outstanding loan balances of on-balance sheet loans in both the Chinese Mainland and overseas markets, partially offset by the decrease in interest yield in the Chinese Mainland market.

Other revenue was RMB309.7 million (US$44.9 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB281.5 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the contributions from other revenue streams, including other value-added services.

Origination, servicing expenses and other costs of revenue were RMB745.2 million (US$108.0 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB620.5 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was primarily driven by the increase in employee expenditures and higher loan collection expenses in both the Chinese Mainland and overseas markets.

Sales and marketing expenses were RMB492.4 million (US$71.4 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB529.7 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to improved efficiency and decreased investment in marketing activities in the Chinese Mainland market.

Research and development expenses were RMB125.5 million (US$18.2 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB126.0 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to efficiency improvements in technology development.

General and administrative expenses were RMB113.8 million (US$16.5 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB106.9 million for the same period of 2025, primarily due to an increase in office expenses.

Provision for accounts receivable and contract assets was RMB111.5 million (US$16.2 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB117.7 million for the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to decreased transaction volume of off-balance sheet loans in the Chinese Mainland market, partially offset by the increase in volume of off-balance sheet loans in overseas markets. 

Provision for loans receivable was RMB218.1 million (US$31.6 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB85.4 million for the same period of 2025. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the outstanding loan balance of on-balance sheet loans in the Chinese Mainland and overseas markets.

Credit losses for quality assurance commitment were RMB856.6 million (US$124.2 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB1,011.6 million for the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in risk-bearing loans in the Chinese Mainland market.

Operating profit was RMB546.8 million (US$79.3 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB883.2 million for the same period of 2025.

Non-GAAP adjusted operating profit, which excludes share-based compensation expenses before tax, was RMB585.0 million (US$84.8 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB917.9 million for the same period of 2025.

Other income/(expenses) was an expense of RMB15.5 million (US$2.3 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with income of RMB9.0 million for the same period of 2025. The decrease was mainly due to foreign exchange losses.

Income tax expense was RMB93.1 million (US$13.5 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB153.9 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in pre-tax profit.

Net profit was RMB421.1 million (US$61.0 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB737.6 million for the same period of 2025.

Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company was RMB415.1 million (US$60.2 million) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB746.4 million for the same period of 2025.

Diluted net profit per ADS was RMB1.65 (US$0.24) and diluted net profit per share was RMB0.33 (US$0.05) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB2.84 and RMB0.57 for the same period of 2025, respectively.

Non-GAAP diluted net profit per ADS was RMB1.80 (US$0.26) and non-GAAP diluted net profit per share was RMB0.36 (US$0.05) for the first quarter of 2026, compared with RMB2.97 and RMB0.59 for the same period of 2025, respectively. Each ADS represents five Class A ordinary shares of the Company.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB4,687.8 million (US$679.6 million) and short-term investments, mainly in wealth management products and term deposits, of RMB2,643.8 million (US$383.3 million).

Shares Repurchase Update

For the first quarter of 2026, the Company deployed approximately US$39.4 million to repurchase its own Class A ordinary shares in the form of ADSs. As of March 31, 2026, in combination with the Company’s historical and existing share repurchase programs, the Company had cumulatively repurchased its own Class A ordinary shares in the form of ADSs with a total aggregate value of approximately US$516.7 million since 2018.

Business Outlook

Strong execution of the Company’s ‘Local Excellence, Global Outlook+’ Strategy drove a resilient first quarter performance despite domestic macro headwinds and seasonal softness. The Company reiterates its full-year 2026 total revenue guidance to be in the range of approximately RMB11.5 billion to RMB12.9 billion.

The above forecast is based on the current market conditions and reflects the Company’s current preliminary views and expectations on market and operational conditions and the regulatory and operating environment, as well as customers’ and institutional partners’ demands, all of which are subject to change.
