China Internet Nationwide Financial Services Provides Business Update and Discusses Growth Strategy at its Fintech GO 2018 Conference

Strategy sets the stage for continuing expansion and growth; 2018 to be transitional

BEIJING, July 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- China Internet Nationwide Financial Services Inc. (NASDAQ: CIFS) ("CIFS" or the "Company"), a financial advisory services provider and financial technology company today provided an update on its recent business developments, new business opportunities and growth initiatives for 2018 and beyond, which was previously announced at its Fintech GO 2018 conference held at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Beijing on June 28, 2018. Over 500 professionals joined this conference. Conference details are available at http://cifsp.com/portal/index/investview/pid/5/id/102/t/1530872731/lang/2/stype/1531131931.html/p/1.

While 2017 was a year of growth and expansion (revenue and net income increased by 59% and 73%, respectively as compared to 2016), 2018 is expected to be a transitional year for the Company. The Company has now moved onto the next phase of its growth and expects its financial technology ("FinTech") products to gradually become the catalyst for future growth.

At the Fintech GO 2018 conference, the Company's management discussed its potential markets and FinTech technologies. Since the acquisition of AnyTrust in November last year, the Company has invested in new technologies and talented IT professionals to support the development of its FinTech products and services. The Company is expecting to transition from a traditional financial service provider to a FinTech company supported by following:

(i) Supply Chain Financing Services (Factoring):  Launched in October 2017, the Company's factoring business aims to provide supply chain financing solutions to SMEs - with an initial focus on the pharmaceutical (medical supplies and equipment) sector by reducing financing costs and improving operational efficiency. Since then, the Company has signed several agreements, including a RBM 100 million (approximately $15.7 million) revolving factoring credit agreement with Sino Pharma Business Factoring Co., Ltd, one of China's leading factoring services providers serving the healthcare industry, backed by accounts receivable from Grade A hospitals with Class II or above rankings. This new business line is expected to be a significant contributor to the Company's 2018 financial performance, and will account for at least 25% of total revenue.

(ii) AnyTrust: In November 2017, the Company acquired Beijing AnyTrust Science & Technology Co., Ltd ("AnyTrust"), a big data company focusing on providing data infrastructure design, big data access and analytics, and document automation for enterprises and government agencies in China. In early 2018, the Company launched the beta version of AnyInfo, a vertical search engine and big data platform covering a broad range of publicly available data for over 28 million enterprises in China, which is now available for Windows and Android users at www.anyinfo.cn. For more details about Anytrust's products and technologies, please visit: http://www.anytrust.cn/.

(iii) Intelligent Research Platform ("IRP"): Launched in April 2018, IRP provides intelligent financial products and services to financial institutions such as banks, insurance and asset management firms and investment funds in China. IRP uses big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, blockchain, machine learning, natural language processing etc., to develop its intelligent investment research platform. IRP's beta version is presently offered as a trial to certain of the Company's target clients. To learn more about InTruth and IRP, please visit http: http://cifsp.com/portal/index/invest/pid/1/lang/2/stype/153.html.

In addition to the above, the Company is pursuing a two-fold growth strategy:

- Expand legacy / higher margin financial advisory services (commercial payment advisory services, international corporate financing advisory services, and intermediary bank loan advisory services) by targeting new clients in China and expanding its geographical coverage through innovative product offerings. 

- Focus on its FinTech Initiative through the development of its big data platform by offering data access, analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and intelligent investment research to clients such as SMEs, state-owned enterprises, financial institutions and individuals.

Mr. Jianxin Lin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CIFS noted, "Within a very short period we have been able to expand our breadth of products and services.  We are extremely proud of our achievements. We believe that we have positioned the company well to take advantage of substantial opportunities in the FinTech sector and successfully execute our growth strategy.  We look forward to reporting our progress in the coming months."
