Mr. Lei Sun, 9F's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “2019 was a transformative year for our company as we transitioned our business to a technology enablement platform. Our new model, which connects all participants– including financial institution partners, merchant partners and end-customers –uses technology to help improve user experience for all participants and facilitate more transactions. We are working with a number of different institutional funding partners to diversify our funding sources and grow our loan origination volumes. Of our total loan origination volume in the fourth quarter of 2019, institutional funding partners contributed 79.8%, which compares with just 6.6% for the same period of 2018.
We continue to develop new cloud-based technology to provide highly customized services to our users and partners, in particular licensed financial institutions. Meanwhile, by leveraging our experiences and skills in the domestic market, we continue to expand our footprint overseas throughout Southeast Asia.
In order to maintain compliance with industry regulations, we downsized our loan origination volumes and decreased the outstanding loan balance for loans under our online lending information intermediary services. We have also prepared ourselves to adapt to new regulations, and believe we are well-positioned for any regulatory changes.
Our registered users crossed the 100 million line as of December 31, 2019. We continue to explore new ways to enhance customer relationships, and provide convenient and personalized services beyond loan origination to better serve user needs. We have been rapidly developing our E-commerce channels since the end of 2019. We rebranded our online shopping platform of 9F One Mall (formerly known as the "One Card Mall") to a wider user base, targeting customers of not only One Card users. We also connect more local life servicing consumption scenarios in connection with the verticals of health, entertainment, and tourism. We will continue to focus on expanding consumption scenarios to improve our ecosystem in 2020.
This year is clearly shaping up to be extremely challenging. In addition to the ongoing regulatory uncertainties, the COVID -19 pandemic has caused serious challenges for the global economy, financial markets and consumer behavior. Increasing unemployment, furloughs, and work-from-home arrangements have reduced consumption on the one hand, and weakened the repayment ability of our borrowers on the other hand. These have raised overall delinquency rates and caused banks and other financial institutions to tighten credit. We have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in the first and second quarters of 2020, including loan origination volume and revenues. We made significant adjustments to our business model in light of the new operating environment, such as controlling the number of new borrowers, lowering average approved credit limits, strengthening risk assessment and keeping asset quality in an acceptable range. Despite the significant near-term challenges, we are optimistic that consumers are increasingly accepting, and even demanding for new technologies, such as contactless services, and we believe companies that are able to satisfy such needs will succeed. We intend to maintain our advanced technology capabilities strength, and continue to invest in new technologies, for purpose of creating value to our customers and to shareholders on a long-term basis.”
Mr. Yanjun Lin, 9F's Chief Financial Officer and Director, added, “Despite the continued challenging environment, we were able to deliver solid operational results in 2019. However, we are negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and expect to experience an extended difficult time in 2020. Our registered users increased 40.2% year-over-year and crossed the 100 million line as of December 31, 2019, which was a significant milestone in our history. Total loan origination volume increased by 62.4% year-over-year to 14.3 billion (US$2.1 billion) in the fourth quarter of 2019. Total loan origination volume increased by 20.9% year-over-year to 55.1 billion (US$7.9 billion) in 2019. Loans funded by institutional funding partners decreased from 16.8 billion in the third quarter of 2019 to 11.4 billion (US$1.6 billion) in the fourth quarter of the same year, mainly due to the liquidity issue encountered by financial institutions at the year end. The number of active borrowers increased by 80.2% year-over-year to 1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. For the full year of 2019, we saw a 23.7% year-over-year increase in active borrowers to 2.8 million. In the first five months of 2020, we have seen a material decrease in both our loan origination volume and number of active borrowers compared to the same period in 2019, and the negative effect brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic will likely last for a while. We have been making great efforts to recover from the negative impact brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and also looking for opportunities amid adversity.
Since November 2019, under our online lending information intermediary services, new loans with terms of no more than 12 months are no longer covered by the insurance protection plan of PICC Property and Casualty Company Limited Guangdong Branch, or the PICC. We have also suspended our cooperation with PICC on new loans under our direct lending program since December 2019. We and PICC are pursuing legal actions against each other as PICC is obligated to pay service fees as agreed in the cooperation agreement to us under our direct lending program, and we are seeking damages of approximately RMB2.3 billion from PICC to cover the outstanding service fees amounting to RMB2.2 billion and related late payment losses. With respect to RMB1.4 billion of the outstanding service fees that has been recorded as accounts receivable, we have recognized full valuation allowance. We have not recognized the remaining outstanding service fees in the amount of approximately RMB0.8 billion, as revenue recognition criteria was not met.”
Fourth Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Total net revenues decreased by 54.4% from RMB1,027.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 to RMB469.0 million (US$67.4 million) in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the decrease in loan facilitation services revenue.
- Loan facilitation services revenue decreased by 90.5% from RMB925.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 to RMB88.0 million (US$12.6 million) in the same period of 2019. The decrease of loan facilitation services revenue was primarily because the loan facilitation services revenue under our direct lending program in the fourth quarter of 2019 was not recognized due to our dispute with PICC.
- Post-origination services revenue increased by 299.5% from RMB75.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 to RMB301.6 million (US$43.3 million) in the same period of 2019, primarily because an increasing portion of service revenue was allocated to post-origination services in the fourth quarter of 2019.
- Other revenues increased by 194.9% from RMB26.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 to RMB79.4 million (US$11.4 million) in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the increase in revenues from both online lending services generated in Southeast Asia and domestic user referral service.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 117.9% from RMB331.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 to RMB721.1 million (US$103.6 million) for the same period of 2019, primarily due to an increase in our user acquisition cost.
Origination and servicing expenses increased by 348.0% from RMB106.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 to RMB478.1 million (US$68.7 million) for the same period of 2019, primarily due to an increase in loan collection services fees paid to third party collection companies.
General and administrative expenses decreased by 47.6% from RMB414.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 to RMB217.4 million (US$31.2 million) for the same period of 2019, primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation expenses and salaries and benefits of research and development personnel.
Provision (reversal) for doubtful contract assets and receivables increased from reversed RMB2.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 to provision RMB2,148.6 million (US$308.6 million) for the same period of 2019, primarily because we recognized a full valuation allowance for accounts receivable from PICC amounting to RMB1,432.3 million (US$205.7 million).

Total net revenues decreased by 20.4% from RMB5,556.5 million in 2018 to RMB4,425.0 million (US$635.6 million) in 2019, primarily due to the decrease in loan facilitation services revenue.
- Loan facilitation services revenue decreased by 29.9% from RMB4,960.7 million in 2018 to RMB3,477.9 million (US$499.6 million) in 2019. The decrease of loan facilitation services revenue was primarily because the loan facilitation services revenue under our direct lending program in the fourth quarter of 2019 was not recognized due to our dispute with PICC.
- Post-origination services revenue increased by 64.6% from RMB367.4 million in 2018 to RMB604.7 million (US$86.9 million) in 2019. The increase was primarily due to increase in the loan origination volume, and an increasing portion of service revenue allocated to post-origination services in 2019. The increase in the loan origination volume, which increased from RMB45.6 billion in 2018 to 55.1 billion (US$7.9 billion) in 2019, was primarily driven by the increase in the number of active borrowers from approximately 2.3 million in 2018 to approximately 2.8 million in 2019.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by 34.2% from RMB1,746.4 million in 2018 to RMB2,343.4 million (US$336.6 million) in 2019, primarily due to an increase in our user acquisition expenses and advertising expenses.
Origination and servicing expenses increased by 155.7% from RMB444.8 million in 2018 to RMB1,137.5 million (US$163.4 million) in 2019, primarily due to an increase in loan collection services expenses paid to third party collection companies.
General and administrative expenses decreased by 0.3% from RMB1,159.7 million in 2018 to RMB1,155.7 million (US$166.0 million) in 2019, primarily due to primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation expenses and partially offset by increase in research and development expenses.
Provision (reversal) for doubtful contract assets and receivables increased from reversed RMB2.6 million in 2018 to provision RMB2,148.6 million (US$308.6 million) in 2019, primarily because we recognized a full valuation allowance for accounts receivable from PICC amounting to RMB1,432.3 million (US$205.7 million).

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses adjusted net income (loss), a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating its operating results and as a supplemental measure to review and assess its financial and operational performance. The Company believes that adjusted net income/(loss) provides useful information about its core operating results, enhances the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metric used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making. The Company also believes that adjusted net income (loss), which excludes the effect of share-based compensation, impairment loss of investments and impairment of goodwill, net of tax effect helps identify underlying trends in its business and help the Company’s management formulate business plans.
Adjusted net income (loss) is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, cash flows or liquidity, investors should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for net income/(loss), cash flows provided by/(used in) operating activities or other consolidated statements of operation and cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other companies, including peer companies in the industry, may calculate this non-GAAP measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as a comparative measure. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. For more information on this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results” set forth at the end of this press release.
