X Financial Reports First Quarter 2026 Unaudited Financial ResultsMay 27, 2026 4:50 PM
PR Newswire (US) SHENZHEN, China, May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- X Financial (NYSE: XYF), a leading Chinese fintech platform, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. This press release should be read in conjunction with the Company's Report on Form 6-K for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, which has been furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and on the Company's investor relations website at http://ir.xiaoyinggroup.com. First Quarter 2026 Financial and Operational HighlightsTotal net revenue in Q1 2026 was RMB1.18 billion (US$170.5 million), a decrease of 39.3% year-over-year and 19.9% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by significantly lower loan facilitation volumes amid the Company's continued tightening of credit standards and focus on higher-quality origination.Total loan amount facilitated and originated[1] in Q1 2026 was RMB14.63 billion, down 35.8% quarter-over-quarter and down 58.4% year-over-year.Net income in Q1 2026 was RMB37.9 million (US$5.5 million), a decrease of 91.7% year-over-year, primarily reflecting substantially higher credit-related provisions and significantly lower loan facilitation revenue amid reduced origination volumes.Delinquency rates for loans 31–60 days past due improved to 2.61% (from 2.90% at Q4 2025 year-end and 1.25% a year ago); loans 91–180 days past due increased to 9.95% (from 6.31% at Q4 2025 year-end and 2.73% a year ago). The increase in the 91–180 day delinquency rate primarily reflects the migration of previously delinquent balances further into that bucket and the effect of a significantly reduced total outstanding loan balance, both of which contribute to a higher reported rate, rather than a deterioration in the quality of more recent originations.Mr. Kent Li, President of X Financial, commented: "In the first quarter of 2026, we facilitated and originated RMB14.6 billion in loans, reflecting a substantial decline of 35.8% from the prior quarter and 58.4% year-over-year. Borrower activity continued to moderate, with active borrowers declining to approximately 956,520, down 60.6% from a year ago, reflecting the Company's deliberate focus on higher-quality origination and tighter credit standards. The 31–60 day delinquency rate eased to 2.61% from 2.90% in the prior quarter, reflecting improvement in more recent origination quality. The 91–180 day rate rose to 9.95%, driven by the migration of existing delinquent balances further into that bucket rather than fresh deterioration in new originations. In response, we have further strengthened our risk management framework, enhanced collection strategies, and adjusted capital deployment to preserve balance sheet resilience. While profitability was significantly impacted by higher provisions and narrower margins, we believe these actions appropriately position the Company for the challenging environment ahead."Mr. Frank Fuya Zheng, Chief Financial Officer of X Financial, added: "In the first quarter of 2026, total net revenue was RMB1.18 billion, a decrease of 39.3% from the same period last year and 19.9% sequentially. Net income was RMB37.9 million and non-GAAP adjusted net income was RMB81.2 million, both significantly lower than the prior year period, primarily due to substantially higher credit-related provisions and significantly lower loan facilitation revenue amid reduced origination volumes. Basic earnings per ADS were RMB0.96, and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per ADS were RMB2.10. Operating margin improved to 12.0% from 1.4% in the prior quarter, though remained significantly below the 29.6% recorded in the same period of 2025, reflecting the ongoing impact of elevated credit costs and reduced contribution from higher-margin facilitation services. We will continue to manage capital conservatively, strengthen our balance sheet, and maintain cost discipline to support business resilience amid an evolving regulatory and operating landscape."[1] Represents the total amount of loans that the Company facilitated and originated during the relevant period.First Quarter 2026 GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Summary(In thousands, except for share and per share data)Three Months Ended

This guidance reflects a measured pace of origination following a sequential decline in the first quarter and management's continued focus on asset quality, credit discipline, and profitability optimization rather than aggressive volume expansion. The Company remains attentive to recent regulatory developments and evolving credit conditions, and acknowledges that potential regulatory changes, once implemented, could adversely affect margins and profitability. The Company will continue to exercise prudent risk control and disciplined execution to navigate the evolving environment and support long-term business resilience.Capital Return to Shareholders: From January 1, 2026 through May 15, 2026, X Financial repurchased an aggregate of approximately 1.8 million ADSs, for a total consideration of approximately US$8.2 million under its share repurchase programs. The Company now has approximately US$39.8 million remaining under its existing US$100 million share repurchase program, which is effective through November 30, 2026. This program reflects the Company's commitment to returning capital to shareholders and enhancing long-term shareholder value, subject to ongoing assessment of market and regulatory conditions. Repurchases under the program remain subject to market conditions and other factors and may be modified or suspended at management's discretion.Regulatory UpdateThe regulatory environment governing internet-based lending in the People's Republic of China continued to evolve during the first quarter of 2026, with authorities further strengthening oversight across the consumer credit business chain. The Company continues to monitor these developments closely; however, management has limited visibility into the ultimate scope and direction of implementation. If current and emerging regulatory requirements are implemented as currently understood, the Company's operating results may be materially and adversely affected, and historical levels of profitability should not be assumed to be indicative of future performance.Conference CallX Financial's management team will host an earnings conference call at 7:30 AM U.S. Eastern Time on May 28, 2026 (7:30 PM Beijing / Hong Kong Time on May 28, 2026).Dial-in details for the earnings conference call are as follows:United States:1-888-346-8982Hong Kong: 800-905945Mainland China: 4001-201203International: 1-412-902-4272Passcode:X FinancialPlease dial in ten minutes before the call is scheduled to begin and provide the passcode to join the call.A replay of the conference call may be accessed by phone at the following numbers until June 04, 2026:United States:1-855-669-9658International: 1-412-317-0088Passcode: 1485675Additional InformationThis press release contains highlights only.

We present the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We believe that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors' assessment of our operating performance and help investors to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain income or expenses that we include in income (loss) from operations and net income (loss).

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.We mitigate these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, 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.For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results" set forth at the end of this press release.Exchange Rate InformationThis press release contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader.

X Financial Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2025 Unaudited Financial ResultsMarch 25, 2026 4:50 PM
PR Newswire (US)
SHENZHEN, China, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- X Financial (NYSE: XYF), a leading Chinese fintech platform, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. This press release should be read in conjunction with the Company's Report on Form 6-K for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which has been furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and on the Company's investor relations website at http://ir.xiaoyinggroup.com.Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2025 Financial HighlightsTotal net revenue in Q4 2025 was RMB1,467.8 million (US$209.9 million), a decrease of 14.1% year-over-year and 25.1% quarter-over-quarter. For fiscal year 2025, total net revenue was RMB7,639.4 million (US$1,092.4 million), an increase of 30.1% from 2024.Total loan amount facilitated and originated[1] in Q4 2025 was RMB22,768 million, down 29.5% year-over-year and 32.3% quarter-over-quarter. For fiscal year 2025, total loan amount facilitated and originated was RMB130,552 million, an increase of 24.5% from RMB104,889 million in fiscal year 2024.Net income in Q4 2025 was RMB57.2 million (US$8.2 million), a decrease of 85.2% year-over-year, driven by higher credit-related provisions and lower loan facilitation revenue. For fiscal year 2025, net income was RMB1,464.6 million (US$209.4 million), compared with RMB1,539.9 million in 2024.Delinquency rates for loans 31–60 days past due increased to 2.90% (from 1.17% a year ago); loans 91–180 days past due increased to 6.31% (from 2.48% a year ago), reflecting deteriorating asset quality and the Company's adoption of more conservative provisioning.Mr. Kent Li, President of X Financial, commented: "In the fourth quarter of 2025, we facilitated and originated RMB22.8 billion in loans, a decline of 32.3% from the prior quarter and 29.5% year-over-year. Borrower activity moderated further, with active borrowers declining to approximately 1.69 million, down 20.2% from a year ago, reflecting the Company's deliberate focus on higher-quality origination and tighter credit standards across our core channels. Asset quality came under increased pressure, with the 31–60 day delinquency rate rising to 2.90% and the 91–180 day delinquency rate increasing to 6.31%. These trends reflected continued stress in certain borrower segments and a more conservative industry-wide risk posture. In response, we have strengthened our risk management framework, enhanced collection strategies, and adjusted capital deployment to preserve balance sheet resilience. While profitability was significantly impacted by higher provisions and narrower margins, we believe these actions position the Company for more stable performance over the medium term. Looking ahead, we remain focused on asset quality, disciplined growth, and maintaining strong liquidity to navigate ongoing market uncertainty."Mr. Frank Fuya Zheng, Chief Financial Officer of X Financial, added: "In the fourth quarter of 2025, total net revenue was RMB1.47 billion, a decrease of 14.1% from the same period last year and 25.1% sequentially. Net income was RMB57.2 million and non-GAAP adjusted net income was RMB61.3 million, both significantly lower than the prior quarter, primarily due to substantially higher provisions and lower loan facilitation revenue amid reduced origination volumes. Basic earnings per ADS were RMB1.44, and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per ADS were RMB1.56, both lower than the prior quarter, reflecting the impact of elevated credit costs during the period. Operating margin declined to 1.4%, compared with 18.5% in the prior quarter and 30.7% in the same period last year, mainly driven by higher provisioning and reduced contribution from higher-margin facilitation services. We will continue to manage capital conservatively, strengthen our balance sheet, and maintain cost discipline to support business resilience amid an evolving regulatory and operating landscape."Fourth Quarter 2025 GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Summary(In thousands, except for share and per share data)Three Months Ended

This outlook reflects management's cautious approach amid ongoing macroeconomic and regulatory uncertainty, with continued emphasis on asset quality, disciplined risk management, and sustainable profitability. The forecast represents the Company's current preliminary view and remains subject to change as the year progresses.Capital Return to Shareholders: As of March 15, 2026, under the Company's US$100 million share repurchase program, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of approximately 3.79 million ADSs, including approximately 3.37 million ADSs and 2.53 million Class A ordinary shares, for a total consideration of approximately US$53.85 million. The Company now has approximately US$46.15 million remaining under the share repurchase program, which is effective through November 30, 2026. This program underscores the Company's confidence in its long-term growth outlook and its commitment to enhancing shareholder value. Repurchases under the program remain subject to market conditions and other factors and may be modified or suspended at management's discretion.Declaration of Semi-Annual Dividend: Pursuant to the semi-annual dividend policy, the Board today approved the declaration and payment of a semi-annual dividend of US$0.28 per ADS (approximately US$0.0467 per ordinary share). The holders of the Company's ordinary shares shown on the Company's record at the close of trading on April 30, 2026 (U.S. Eastern Daylight Time) will be entitled to the semi-annual dividend. These shareholders, including the Bank of New York Mellon, the depositary of our ADS program (the "Depositary"), will receive the payments of dividends on or about May 20, 2026. Dividends to the Company's ADS holders will be paid by the Depositary after May 20, 2026, and the precise timing of receipt will vary based on the processing efficiency of the respective holding brokerage.Regulatory UpdateThe regulatory environment governing internet-based lending in the People's Republic of China continued to evolve during fiscal year 2025, with authorities increasingly refining and strengthening oversight across the entire consumer credit business chain.The most significant development during the period was Notice 9, issued by the National Financial Regulatory Administration on April 1, 2025, which requires commercial banks to strictly control total borrowing costs. Although Notice 9 does not explicitly stipulate a cap of not exceeding 24% per annum, in practice, a 24% per annum cap on total borrowing cost for a single loan is generally implemented and enforced.Importantly, 24% per annum may not represent the outer boundary of pricing pressure. During the period, regulatory authorities continued to tighten total borrowing cost caps applicable to microcredit companies and consumer finance companies, and such entities may face de facto requirements set at levels below 24%. The extent to which such requirements may fall below 24%, and the pace and manner of their implementation across different institution types and jurisdictions, remain highly uncertain. The Company currently has no reliable basis upon which to predict the ultimate scope, stringency, or trajectory of applicable borrowing cost limitations. The Company expects that, if current and emerging regulatory requirements are implemented as currently understood, its operating results will be adversely and materially affected relative to those achieved in prior fiscal years. The magnitude of such impact is subject to significant uncertainty; however, investors should not assume that the Company's historical levels of profitability are indicative of future performance, and the possibility of operating losses in future periods cannot be excluded.Notice 9 also requires commercial bank head offices to implement whitelist management systems for loan facilitation platform operators, prohibiting cooperation with institutions not included on such lists. The implementation of whitelist requirements has introduced additional uncertainty with respect to the Company's funding relationships. By way of illustration only, current practices regarding whitelist administration vary across banking groups and their respective subsidiaries, and it is possible that future regulatory guidance could alter the level at which such determinations are made in ways that may affect the Company's authorized funding relationships. This example is indicative of the broader unpredictability of the regulatory environment, and numerous other aspects of implementation remain similarly subject to change without notice or predictability.Separately, payment institution rating measures issued by the People's Bank of China in December 2025 extend regulatory oversight further across the lending chain, increasing overall compliance burdens and operational costs for industry participants.The Company is closely monitoring these developments as they continue to evolve into 2026. Management currently has limited visibility into the ultimate scope, pace, and direction of implementation, and the potential impact of these regulatory changes on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations cannot be determined with any degree of certainty at this time.Conference CallX Financial's management team will host an earnings conference call at 8:30 AM U.S. Eastern Time on March 26, 2026 (8:30 PM Beijing / Hong Kong Time on March 26, 2026).Dial-in details for the earnings conference call are as follows:United States:1-888-346-8982Hong Kong: 800-905945Mainland China: 4001-201203International: 1-412-902-4272Passcode:X FinancialPlease dial in ten minutes before the call is scheduled to begin and provide the passcode to join the call.

We present the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We believe that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors' assessment of our operating performance and help investors to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain income or expenses that we include in income (loss) from operations and net income (loss). We also believe that the non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our core operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.We use in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) adjusted net income (loss), (ii) adjusted net income (loss) per basic ADS, (iii) adjusted net income (loss) per diluted ADS, (iv) adjusted net income (loss) per basic share, and (v) adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, each of which excludes share-based compensation expense, impairment losses on financial investments, income (loss) from financial investments, gain (loss) from financial investments at equity method and impairment losses on long-term investments. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.We mitigate these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, 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.For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results" set forth at the end of this press release.Exchange Rate InformationThis press release contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader.
