LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022
Unaudited Financial Results
SHENZHEN, China, March 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. (“Lexin” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LX), a leading technology-empowered personal financial service enabler in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.
"Total loan origination for the fourth quarter of 2022 was well in line with the high end of our initial expectations of over RMB56.1 billion, representing a year-over-year growth of 28.8%. Moreover, our total outstanding loan balance was over RMB99.6 billion, an increase of 15.9% year-over-year," said Jay Wenjie Xiao, chairman and chief executive officer of Lexin. "2022 was indeed an eventful year with various internal and external challenges, and yet we managed to deliver very solid results. Throughout the year, we maintained the trajectory of a V-shaped recovery in our overall performance."
"In the past year, in addition to our commitment to continuous technological innovation and optimizing operational efficiency, we have also made noteworthy progress in both our risk management capabilities and our regulatory compliance. Our overall core competencies have been notably upgraded. Looking ahead, we are confident in the resilience of China's economic and consumption recovery and believe that Lexin is better positioned at present than ever to navigate through the uncertainties and utilize the opportunities given to us to pursue greater and more reliable growth in a continued and sustainable manner." Mr. Xiao continued.
"We ended the 2022 financial year with solid fourth-quarter results, demonstrating the continued turnaround of our business despite the challenging business environment throughout the year." said Mr. James Zheng, chief financial officer of Lexin, "Total operating revenue for the fourth quarter was RMB3.1 billion, an increase of 38.7% year-over-year, and 13.4% quarter-on-quarter, and our net profit also continued to improve for the third consecutive quarter, reaching approximately RMB301 million, an increase of 17.9% year-over-year and 9.3% quarter-on-quarter. In addition, we were encouraged by improvements in other metrics such as a higher take-rate, as well as continued reductions in operating expenses, funding costs and APRs in compliance with the regulator’s guidance."
"Going forward, while we see signs of improving growth and recovery in the macro-economy, as well as a more stable regulatory environment, we would also like to reiterate our strong commitment to generating sustainable long-term profits by continuously focusing on upgrading our risk management capability, improving our business model, optimizing our operational efficiency, improving our customer acquisition, and continuing our cost reduction initiatives." said Mr. Zheng.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results:
Operating revenue increased by 38.7% from RMB2,199 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to RMB3,050 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Credit facilitation service income increased by 71.4% from RMB1,145 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to RMB1,964 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was driven by increases in loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented, financing income and guarantee income.
Loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented increased by 40.1% from RMB606 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to RMB849 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to the significant increase in off-balance sheet loans originated under the credit-oriented model.
Guarantee income increased by 190.8% from RMB172 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to RMB500 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in loan originations and the increase of outstanding balances in the off-balance sheet loans funded by certain institutional funding partners, which are accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees.
Financing income increased by 67.3% from RMB367 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to RMB615 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in the origination of on-balance sheet loans in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Tech-empowerment service income decreased by 34.6% from RMB631 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to RMB413 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of loan facilitation volume through the profit-sharing model within tech-empowerment service in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Installment e-commerce platform service income increased by 59.3% from RMB423 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to RMB674 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in transaction volume in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Cost of sales increased by 41.9% from RMB463 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to RMB657 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, which was consistent with the increase in installment e-commerce platform service income.
Funding cost increased by 49.0% from RMB98.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to RMB146 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, which was consistent with the increase in funding debts to fund the on-balance sheet loans.
Processing and servicing costs was RMB467 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared with RMB469 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Provision for financing receivables was a loss of RMB147 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared with a reversal of RMB98.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The credit losses reflect the most recent performance in relation to the Company’s on-balance sheet loans and the Company's continued implementation of prudent credit assessment and risk management policies and procedures.
Page 4 of 15
Provision for contract assets and receivables was RMB131 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to RMB44.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to the significant increase in loan facilitations and servicing fees in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Provision for contingent guarantee liabilities was RMB459 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to RMB11.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to the increase in loan origination of the off-balance sheet loans funded by certain institutional funding partners, which are accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees.
Gross profit decreased by 13.9% from RMB1,212 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to RMB1,043 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 29.1% from RMB328 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to RMB423 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily due to an increase in online advertising costs.
Research and development expenses decreased by 17.1% from RMB164 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to RMB136 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, as a result of the Company’s improved efficiency.
General and administrative expenses decreased by 17.9% from RMB118 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to RMB97.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, as a result of the Company’s expense control measures.
Change in fair value of financial guarantee derivatives and loans at fair value was a gain of RMB33.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to a loss of RMB341 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The change in fair value was primarily driven by the fair value gains realized as a result of the release of guarantee obligation, along with the re-measurement of the expected loss rates and changes in the balances of the underlying outstanding off-balance sheet loans as of December 31, 2022.
Income tax expense increased by 53.5% from RMB47.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to RMB72.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in income tax expense was consistent with the increase in the taxable income in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Net income increased by 17.9% from RMB256 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to RMB301 million in fourth quarter of 2022.

Operating revenue decreased by 13.3% from RMB11,381 million in 2021 to RMB9,866 million in 2022.
Credit facilitation service income decreased by 14.3% from RMB6,956 million in 2021 to RMB5,964 million in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented and partially offset by the increase in financing income and guarantee income.
Loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented decreased by 44.1% from RMB4,448 million in 2021 to RMB2,487 million in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the increase of guarantee obligation, which resulted in the decrease in considerations for revenue recognition.
Guarantee income increased by 87.6% from RMB775 million in 2021 to RMB1,453 million in 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in loan origination and the increase in outstanding balances of off-balance sheet loans funded by certain institutional funding partners, which are accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees.
Financing income increased by 16.8% from RMB1,733 million in 2021 to RMB2,024 million in 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in the origination of on-balance sheet loans in 2022.
Tech-empowerment service income decreased by 33.2% from RMB2,763 million in 2021 to RMB1,846 million in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of loan facilitation volume through the profit-sharing model within tech-empowerment service in 2022.

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 U.S. GAAP. We define adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company as net 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 income excluding income tax expense, share-based compensation expenses, interest expense, net, and investment loss.
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 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 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 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 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 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.
Exchange Rate Information Statement
This announcement contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars (“US$”) at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise stated, all translations from RMB to US$ were made at the rate of RMB6.8972 to US$1.00, the exchange rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board on December 30, 2022. The Company makes no representation that the RMB or US$ amounts referred could be converted into US$ or RMB, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all.

(3) Starting from the fourth quarter of 2022, we updated the descriptions of three categories of our revenue streams as Credit facilitation service income, Tech-empowerment service income, and Installment e-commerce platform service income, to provide more relevant and clear information. We also revised the revenue presentation in comparative periods to conform to the current classification.
Credit facilitation service income was previously reported as “Credit-Driven Platform Services” before the change of presentation.
Financing income was previously reported as “Interest and financial services income and other revenues” before the change of presentation.
Tech-empowerment service income was previously reported as “Technology-Driven Platform Services” before the change of presentation.
Installment e-commerce platform service income was previously reported as “New consumption-driven, location-based services” before the change of presentation.
