X Financial Reports Second Quarter 2025 Unaudited Financial Results

SHENZHEN, China, August 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- X Financial (NYSE: XYF) (“X Financial” or the “Company” or “we”), a leading Chinese fintech platform, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 ended June 30, 2025.

Second Quarter 2025 Operational Highlights

1 Represents the total amount of loans that the Company facilitated and originated during the relevant period.

2 Represents the total amount of loans outstanding for loans that the Company facilitated and originated at the end of the relevant period. Loans that are delinquent for more than 60 days are excluded in the outstanding loan balance, except for Xiaoying Housing Loans. As Xiaoying Housing Loans is a secured loan product and the Company is entitled to payment by exercising its rights to the collateral, the Company does not exclude Xiaoying Housing Loans delinquent for more than 60 days in the outstanding loan balance.

3 Represents borrowers who made at least one transaction on the Company’s platform during the relevant period.

4 Represents borrowers who made at least one transaction on the Company’s platform since inception through the end of the relevant period.

5 Represents the balance of the outstanding principal for Xiaoying Credit Loans — our primary category of online personal credit loan products facilitated and originated through our platform, including Xiaoying Card Loan as well as other unsecured loan products that we introduce from time to time. The percentage is calculated as the balance of Xiaoying Credit Loans that were 31 to 60 days past due divided by the total outstanding principal balance of Xiaoying Credit Loans facilitated and originated by the Company as of the specific date. Loans that are delinquent for more than 60 days are excluded from the denominator. Starting from the first quarter of 2021, substantially all loans facilitated and originated by the Company have been Xiaoying Credit Loans.

6 To make the delinquency rate by balance comparable to the peers, the Company also defines the delinquency rate as the balance of the outstanding principal for Xiaoying Credit Loans that were 91 to 180 days past due as a percentage of the total balance of outstanding principal for the Xiaoying Credit Loans that the Company facilitated and originated as of a specific date. Xiaoying Credit Loans that are delinquent for more than 180 days are excluded when calculating the denominator.

Second Quarter 2025 GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Summary

Mr. Kent Li, President of X Financial, commented: “We are pleased to report another strong quarter. In the second quarter of 2025, we facilitated and originated RMB39.0 billion in loans — a sequential increase of 10.9% and a 71.4% rise year-over-year — continuing our strong growth momentum following a robust first quarter. Borrower demand remained robust, supported by our ongoing platform enhancements and disciplined risk management. We added over 427,000 active borrowers this quarter, bringing the total to 2.85 million — a 73.7% increase from the prior year. Asset quality remained healthy, with the 31–60 day delinquency rate improving to 1.16% and the 91–180 day delinquency rate at 2.91%, both significantly below prior-year levels. We continued to improve the borrower experience through faster approvals, more transparent processes, and reliable post-loan support, while strengthening our platform’s scalability through data-driven underwriting and operational automation. These results reflect our team’s commitment to responsible growth and long-term value creation.”

Mr. Frank Fuya Zhang, Chief Financial Officer of X Financial, added: “We delivered excellent financial performance in the second quarter of 2025, with total revenue increasing 65.6% year-over-year to RMB2.27 billion. Net income rose to RMB528 million and non-GAAP adjusted net income reached RMB593 million, reflecting our core profitability and prudent cost management. Basic earnings per ADS were RMB12.60, and non-GAAP adjusted earnings per ADS reached RMB14.16, up 48.9% and 85.8% year-over-year, respectively. Our continued margin discipline and high-quality loan growth underscore our ability to scale profitably even as we invest in borrower acquisition, technology, and infrastructure.”

Business Outlook & Share Repurchase Plans：

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Revenue Growth and Business Drivers: In the second quarter of 2025, X Financial delivered robust growth, with total net revenue reaching RMB2,273.1 million (US$317.3 million), representing a 65.6% increase from RMB1,372.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. This growth was primarily driven by significantly higher loan facilitation volume, fueled by robust borrower demand and increased marketing and borrower acquisition investments. Revenue growth was broad-based across the Company’s business lines: loan facilitation service fees rose 87.0% year-over-year to RMB1,369.4 million, post-origination service fees increased 75.5% to RMB271.4 million, and guarantee income more than doubled to RMB102.6 million. Other revenue also surged 135.4% to RMB209.8 million, mainly due to an increase in referral service fee for introducing borrowers to other platforms. These gains more than offset a modest 8.9% decline in financing income to RMB319.9 million, which resulted from lower average loan balances held by the Company. Importantly, X Financial achieved this strong top-line growth while maintaining disciplined cost management, even as it ramped up marketing and borrower acquisition spending to drive volume growth. Supported by higher profitability and the efficiency of its business model, the Company’s return on equity8 improved to approximately 27.9%, up from 25.8% in the prior-year quarter.

8 Financial Ratios:
– Operating margin: Calculated as Income from Operations for the quarter divided by Total Net Revenue for the quarter.

– Net profit margin: Calculated as Net Income for the quarter divided by Total Net Revenue for the quarter.

– Annualized Net Income: Calculated by multiplying the net income for the quarter by four to estimate a full-year equivalent.

– Return on equity: Calculated as annualized Net Income divided by the average of Total Shareholders’ Equity at the beginning and end of the quarter. This measure presents a full-year equivalent ROE based on a single quarter’s performance. 

Asset Quality: Credit quality improvements during the quarter helped to temper risk costs despite lending growth. Delinquency rates for loans 31–60 days and 91–180 days past due declined 9.8% and 33.4% year-over-year, respectively, positively impacting overall credit loss experience and underscoring effective risk management despite higher loan volumes. Provision for contingent guarantee liabilities rose to RMB207.4 million, reflecting higher loan facilitation volumes and expanded guarantee obligations. Overall, credit-related costs were well-controlled, supported by stronger collection performance.

Profitability and Margins: X Financial achieved robust profitability in Q2 2025 while investing in growth initiatives. Operating margin8 remained steady at approximately 29.7%, consistent with Q1 2025. The increase in operating costs and expenses was primarily driven by higher borrower acquisition costs associated with elevated marketing activities during the quarter, though the Company maintained strong revenue growth and disciplined expense controls. Net profit margin8 was about 23.2%, with net income rising 27.1% year-over-year. Net income per basic ADS increased significantly to RMB12.60, up 48.9% year-over-year.

Funding and Liquidity: The Company’s balance sheet remains solid, supporting ongoing growth. Cash and cash equivalents totaled RMB1,152.99 million (US$161.0 million) as of June 30, 2025, compared to RMB1,389.5 million at March 31, 2025. The decrease primarily reflected significant share repurchases during the quarter, alongside continued strong operating cash generation and efficient working capital management. Total restricted cash was RMB788.2 million (US$110.0 million), bringing total cash (including restricted) to over RMB1.94 billion. Shareholders’ equity grew to RMB7,720.9 million (US$1.08 billion), reflecting the growth of retained earnings. The equity-to-assets ratio remained healthy at approximately 56.4%, underscoring a conservative leverage profile and ample capital buffers.

Regulatory Update: The regulatory environment for internet-based lending remained consistent during the quarter, with no major changes introduced. A prior notice from the National Financial Regulatory Administration reaffirmed the existing policy direction—focused on responsible credit access and systemic financial stability.

We continue to view heightened regulatory oversight of loan facilitation platforms as a constructive development, signaling growing recognition of our role in the financial ecosystem and supporting long-term industry maturation.

As China’s online consumer finance sector remains in its early stages, the regulatory framework continues to evolve. While potential updates may increase compliance requirements or require operational adjustments, they also foster standardization, innovation, and sustainable industry growth.

We remain proactive in engaging regulators and ecosystem partners—diversifying funding sources, expanding product offerings, and strengthening risk management practices to support healthy development under the maturing regulatory framework.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating our business, we consider and use non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. We present the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We believe that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance and help investors to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain income or expenses that we include in income (loss) from operations and net income (loss). We also believe that the non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our core operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

We use in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) adjusted net income (loss), (ii) adjusted net income (loss) per basic ADS, (iii) adjusted net income (loss) per diluted ADS, (iv) adjusted net income (loss) per basic share, and (v) adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, each of which excludes share-based compensation expense, impairment losses on financial investments, income (loss) from financial investments, gain (loss) from financial investments at equity method and impairment losses on long-term investments. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We mitigate these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, which should be considered when evaluating our performance. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results” set forth at the end of this press release.
