“In the second quarter of 2023, we have continued promoting high-quality development of our services by coordinating growth of scale and, asset quality, while ensuring our general compliance with applicable laws and regulations. During such quarter, we originated loans of RMB4.5 billion in total. As a result of our effective risk control mechanism, we recovered loan principal, interest and penalties which equal to approximately 110% of the actual outstanding loan principal of delinquent loans in the second quarter of 2023. In the second quarter of 2023, we continued to refine our credit risk control mechanism by analyzing historical data and adding more influential factors into the model of collateral evaluation and credit decisions. As a result of constantly improving credit risk control mechanism, our delinquency ratio (excluding loans held-for-sale) has decreased.

 

Going forward, as the recovery of China’s economy has slowed down, our task remains to achieve ‘high-quality development’, which requires us to expand our business and manage the overall risk at the same time. To achieve such goal, we will have to keep designing new products to meet the needs of a broader range of customers and also investing in technology to empower the full cycle of our business.” Commented Mr. Zhai Bin, Chairman and CEO of CNFinance.

(1)In 2022, the majority of sales partners chose to fulfill their guaranteed obligations by making instalment payments. When sales partners sign the creditor’s rights transfer agreement, the loans to be transferred will be recognized as “held-for-sale loans (HFS)”, and HFS would be measured at the lower of the cost and fair value. In 2022, the Company reassessed the fair value of HFS, such reassessment had led to overstatement in net gains/(losses) on sales of loans as well as understatement in provision for credit losses, which had no impact on net income in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and in the first half of 2023.

 

(2)To provide more relevant information, the line items of Interest income charged to sales partners and Net revenue under the commercial bank partnership model, which were included in Interest and financing service fees on loans in the three months ended June 30, 2022 have been shown in separate items.
