"During the second quarter of 2021, we analyzed evolving market dynamics and maintained a prudent approach to our cash credit business, ultimately generating total transaction volume of approximately RMB3.9 billion during the period," said Mr. Min Luo, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Qudian. "We are also delighted with WLM KIDS' steady progress. We opened two new WLM KIDS activities centers in Fuzhou and Xiamen. As of August 24, 2021, we have three WLM KIDS activities centers in operation, and we have signed the lease agreements for another 37 WLM KIDS activities centers, of which 24 WLM KIDS activities centers are currently under renovation. Going forward, we will prudently manage WLM KIDS' expansion and continue to deliver state-of-the-art extra-curriculum activities services and products to China's children and families."

"As we continued to implement stringent credit approval standards and strategically shifted toward higher-quality borrowers, our asset quality further improved and the D1 delinquency rate[4] for our loan book business decreased to below 5% at the end of the second quarter. Looking ahead, we remain dedicated to controlling credit risk in our loan book business and committed to creating and delivering value to children, families and society with our extra-curriculum activities business," said Ms. Sissi Zhu, Vice President of Investor Relations of Qudian.

Second Quarter Financial Results

Total revenues were RMB412.1 million (US$63.8 million), representing a decrease of 64.7% from RMB1,167.0 million for the second quarter of 2020.

Financing income totaled RMB311.8 million (US$48.3 million), representing a decrease of 46.3% from RMB580.9 million for the second quarter of 2020, as a result of the decrease in the average on-balance sheet loan balance.

Loan facilitation income and other related income decreased by 95.1% to RMB12.6 million (US$1.9 million) from RMB255.1 million for the second quarter of 2020, as a result of the reduction in transaction volume of off-balance sheet loans during this quarter. 

Transaction services fee and other related income increased to RMB38.5 million (US$6.0 million) from RMB4.1 million for the second quarter of 2020, mainly as a result of the reassessment of variable consideration.

Sales income and others decreased to RMB23.7 million (US$3.7 million) from RMB293.3 million for the second quarter of 2020, mainly due to sales related to the Wanlimu e-commerce platform, which we are in the process of winding down.

Sales commission fee decreased by 37.0% to RMB9.1 million (US$1.4 million) from RMB14.4 million for the second quarter of 2020, due to the decrease in the amount of merchandise credit transactions.

Total operating costs and expenses decreased by 90.9% to RMB89.3 million (US$13.8 million) from RMB982.4 million for the second quarter of 2020.

Cost of revenues decreased by 82.3% to RMB64.9 million (US$10.1 million) from RMB366.4 million for the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to the decrease in costs associated with the  loan book business and the decrease in cost of goods sold related to the Wanlimu e-commerce platform.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 81.4% to RMB29.1 million (US$4.5 million) from RMB156.8 million for the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to the decrease in marketing promotional expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased by 44.8% to RMB109.1 million (US$16.9 million) from RMB75.3 million for the second quarter of 2020, as a result of the increase in staff salaries primarily relating to WLM Kids business.

Research and development expenses decreased by 30.3% to RMB39.2 million (US$6.1 million) from RMB56.3 million for the second quarter of 2020, as a result of the decrease in staff salaries.

Provision for receivables and other assets was a reversal of RMB97.4 million (US$15.1 million), compared to a loss of RMB519.0 million for the second quarter of 2020, mainly due to the decrease in past-due on-balance sheet outstanding principal receivables compared to the second quarter of 2020.

As of June 30, 2021, the total balance of outstanding principal and financing service fee receivables for on-balance sheet transactions for which any installment payment was more than 30 calendar days past due was RMB147.5 million (US$22.8 million), and the balance of allowance for principal and financing service fee receivables at the end of the period was RMB374.3 million (US$58.0 million), indicating M1+ Delinquency Coverage Ratio of 2.5x.

The following charts display the "vintage charge-off rate."

Delinquencies may increase or decrease after such 12-month period.

Restricted cash mainly represents (i) cash held by the consolidated trusts through segregated bank accounts; and (ii) security deposits held in designated bank accounts for the guarantee of off-balance sheet transactions. Such restricted cash is not available to fund the general liquidity needs of the Company.

For the second quarter of 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was RMB570.3 million (US$88.3 million), mainly attributable to net income of RMB269.1 million (US$41.7 million). Net cash provided by investing activities was RMB456.8 million (US$70.7 million), mainly due to net proceeds from collection of loan principal and partially offset by net payments to originate loan principal.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use adjusted net income/loss, a Non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. We believe that adjusted net income/loss helps identify underlying trends in our business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges, and convertible bonds buyback income. We believe that adjusted net income/loss provides useful information about our operating results, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Adjusted net income/loss is not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This Non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, cash flows or our liquidity, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss / income, cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operation and cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We mitigate these limitations by reconciling the Non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.

For more information on this Non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this press release.
