SHANGHAI, China, November 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --Jiayin Group Inc. ("Jiayin" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: JFIN), a leading fintech platform in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Third Quarter 2024 Operational and Financial Highlights:

Mr. Yan Dinggui, the Company's Founder, Director and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "As we close out the third quarter of 2024, I'm proud to report continued strong performance, with a significant year-over-year increase in both loan facilitation volume and related revenue. Our loan facilitation volume reached RMB26.7 billion in the third quarter, a 10.3% increase compared with the same period last year. Loan facilitation service revenue grew 18.1% to RMB1,105.7 million. This growth reflects our strategic focus on innovation, risk management, and market diversification. We've successfully leveraged technology to enhance operational efficiency and borrower experience, while maintaining a sharp eye on risk resilience. We are confident that our adaptable business model and commitment to sustainable growth will enable us to capture new opportunities and deliver long-term value to our shareholders. "

1 "Loan facilitation volume" refers the loan facilitation volume facilitated in Mainland China during the period presented.

2 "Repeat borrowing rate" refers to the repeat borrowers as a percentage of all of our borrowers in Mainland China.

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Net revenue was RMB1,444.9 million (US$205.9 million), representing a decrease of 1.5% from the same period of 2023.

Revenue from loan facilitation services was RMB1,105.7 million (US$157.6 million), representing an increase of 18.1% from the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by service fee optimization within our loan facilitation operations and increased loan facilitation volume from the Company's institutional funding partners.

Revenue from releasing of guarantee liabilities was RMB251.7 million (US$35.9 million) compared with RMB397.9 million in the same period of 2023.The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to the decrease in average outstanding loan balances for which the Company provided guarantee services.

Other revenue was RMB87.5 million (US$12.4 million), compared with RMB131.9 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in revenue from individual investor referral services.

Facilitation and servicing expense was RMB419.1 million (US$59.7 million) compared with RMB544.3 million for the same period of 2023. This was primarily due to decreased expenses related to financial guarantee services, which was partially offset by the effect of increased loan facilitation volume.

Allowance for uncollectible receivables, contract assets, loans receivable and others was RMB11.6 million (US$1.7 million), representing an increase of 36.5% from the same period of 2023, primarily due to increased balances of receivables arising from loan facilitation.

Sales and marketing expense was RMB550.3 million (US$78.4 million), representing an increase of 34.9% from the same period of 2023, primarily due to an increase in borrower acquisition expenses.

General and administrative expense was RMB56.1 million (US$8.0 million), representing an increase of 5.5% from the same period of 2023, primarily driven by an increase in expenditures for employee compensation and related benefits.

Research and development expense was RMB95.9 million (US$13.7 million), representing an increase of 36.0% from the same period of 2023, primarily driven by an increase in expenditures for employee compensation and related benefits.

Income from operation was RMB311.9 million (US$44.4 million), representing a decrease of 18.3% from the same period of 2023.

Net income was RMB269.6 million (US$38.4 million), representing a decrease of 16.8% from RMB323.9 million in the same period of 2023.

Basic and diluted net income per share were both RMB1.27 (US$0.18) compared with RMB1.51 in the third quarter of 2023. Basic and diluted net income per ADS were both RMB5.08 (US$0.72) compared with RMB6.04 in the third quarter of 2023. Each ADS represents four Class A ordinary shares of the Company.

Cash and cash equivalents were RMB741.2 million (US$105.6 million) as of September 30, 2024, compared with RMB880.2 million as of June 30, 2024.
