"We harvested a healthy set of operational and financial results with improved risk performance for new loans, uplifted net profit from the first quarter of 2024, and controlled loan origination in the second quarter of 2024," said
"Attributing to our persistent efforts to uphold our key strategies, we achieved several milestones during past quarter, including a rapid growth in our overseas business, a new record-low funding cost, and positive signs of overall risk performance improvement."
"By leveraging Lexin's over a decade of experience in the domestic fintech market and quickly replicating our business model overseas, we saw an accelerated growth in our international operations, far outpacing our domestic business in the second quarter. Although the current scale of our overseas business is still small, we will continue to invest and sharpen our focus abroad."
"Despite quarterly fluctuations in some risk performance indicators, more risk metrics showed early signs of improvement that extended into August. This was due to the proactive control on loan origination and substantial risk management capability improvement over the past quarters."
"Additionally, our funding cost hit a historical low with a significant quarterly drop compared to the previous quarter. This improvement in funding cost effectively boosted our profitability compared to the first quarter of 2024."
"Looking ahead to the remainder of 2024, we remain confident in navigating challenges and seizing opportunities in both Chinese and overseas markets, positioning ourselves for sustainable growth in a cautious consumer environment. We are committed to returning sustainable value to shareholders and have declared a cash dividend payout of

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement
In evaluating our business, we consider and use adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, non-GAAP EBIT, adjusted net 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
We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. Adjusted net 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 income/(loss). Non-GAAP EBIT, on the other hand, enables our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of income tax expense, share-based compensation expenses, interest expense, net, and investment income/(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
These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using adjusted net 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 expense, interest expense, net, and investment income/(loss) have been and may continue to be incurred in our business and are not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net 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 each of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable
