5 "The percentage of funding from financial institutions" is based on cumulative loan origination during the given period.

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Highlights

7 Non-GAAP income from operations and Non-GAAP net income are non-GAAP financial measures. For more information on this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the section of "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement" and the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this press release.

Mr. Haisheng Wu, Chief Executive Officer and Director of 360 Finance, commented, "We are pleased to report another quarter of solid business growth, with loan origination volume increasing by 17% from the previous quarter to RMB 48.4 billion, cumulative registered users reaching 109.3 million and outstanding loan balance reaching RMB 61.3 billion. We are very proud of acquiring more than 100 million registered users in less than 3 years since our inception. Our strong business development is primarily driven by our expanding user base and continuous investment in advanced technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence. As of June 30, 2019, we had submitted applications for 139 patents for our proprietary financial technologies. As we continue to see enormous market potential, we remain committed to attracting more high-quality users to drive sustainable growth in the future."

Mr. Wu continued, "We have significantly increased our loan origination under a 'capital light' model for our institutional funding partners. We expect this trend to continue as we focus more on offering technology services to our partners. Leveraging our big data technology, we will further address the various consumption needs of our huge user base by providing them with more diversified products and services. In addition, we are actively exploring opportunities to extend our fintech services to select international markets such as Southeast Asia and South Asia."

Mr. Jiang Wu, Chief Financial Officer of 360 Finance, stated, "Our total net revenues increased 128% year-on-year to RMB2.2 billion in the second quarter. In addition to driving the steady growth of our business, we are also optimizing the mix of loans facilitated under different models. During the quarter, loan origination under the 'capital light' model reached RMB 3.8 billion, which was over 10 times higher than the previous quarter and accounted for 8% of our loan origination in this quarter. In the second quarter, we also originated more on-balance sheet loans through consolidated trusts, which generate financing income and better match revenue recognition with cash flow. Furthermore, we continued to invest vigorously in brand promotion and customer acquisition for sustainable growth in the long-term."

Mr. Yan Zheng, Vice President of 360 Finance, added, "The industry-leading performance of loans originated through our platform is well recognized by our institutional funding partners. It has enabled us to obtain sufficient institutional funding at competitive cost and offer more affordable credit products to our users. We believe our exceptional research and development capabilities driven by artificial intelligence and proven track record in terms of risk management have laid a solid foundation for our cooperation with financial institutions. We will continue to invest in artificial intelligence to enhance our risk management capabilities in order to safeguard our business and deliver sustainable value to our users and funding partners."

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Total net revenues increased 128% to RMB2,226.9 million (US$324.4 million) from RMB978.5 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in loan facilitation service fees, post origination service fees and financing income associated with an increase in loan origination volume.

Revenue from loan facilitation services increased 83% to RMB1,293.1 million (US$188.4 million) from RMB706.7 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in loan origination volume through the Company's platform.

Revenue from post-origination services increased 327% to RMB500.4 million (US$72.9 million) from RMB117.1 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in loan origination volume and the cumulative effect of loans originated during prior periods through the Company's platform.

Financing income*8 increased 187% to RMB234.3 million (US$34.1 million) from RMB81.5 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in loan origination funded by our consolidated trusts. Financing income was recognized over the lifetime of the loans; therefore its growth rate lagged the growth rate of on-balance sheet loans.

Other service fee revenues increased 172% to RMB199.2 million (US$29.0 million) from RMB73.2 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in referral service fees.

Total operating costs and expenses increased 37% to RMB1,397.3 million (US$203.5 million) from RMB1019.8 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with loan origination and online customer acquisition.

Origination and servicing expenses increased 33% to RMB304.0 million (US$44.3 million) from RMB229.0 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in loan origination volume and the associated costs incurred to originate and service loans through the Company's platform.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 124% to RMB838.6 million (US$122.2 million) from RMB374.0 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in advertising expenses to promote the Company's brand and attract users to the platform.

General and administrative expenses decreased 62% to RMB142.7 million (US$20.8 million) from RMB371.5 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation.

Provision for loans receivable increased 213% to RMB37.3 million (US$5.4 million) from RMB11.9 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in loan origination funded by consolidated trusts.

Provision for financial assets receivable increased 158% to RMB31.8 million (US$4.6 million) from RMB12.3 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in loan origination volume.

Provision for accounts receivable and contract assets increased 103% to RMB43.0 million (US$6.3 million) from RMB21.2 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in loan origination volume.

Income from operations was RMB829.6 million (US$120.8 million), compared with a loss from operations of RMB41.3 million in the same period of 2018.

Non-GAAP income from operations increased 113% to RMB903.2 million (US$131.6 million) from RMB424.7 million in the same period of 2018.

Income tax expense was RMB172.9 million (US$25.2 million), compared with RMB103.8 million in the same period of 2018.

Net income was RMB618.2 million (US$90.0 million), compared with a net loss of RMB142.4 million in the same period of 2018.

Non-GAAP net income increased 114% to RMB691.7 million (US$100.8 million) from RMB323.6 million in the same period of 2018.

Net income margin was 27.8%. Non-GAAP net income margin was 31.1%, compared with non-GAAP net income margin of 33.1% in the same period of 2018.

8 "Financing income" is generated from loans originated through the Company's platform funded by the consolidated trusts and Fuzhou Microcredit, which charge fees and interests from borrowers.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measure, which is adjusted from results based on U.S. GAAP to exclude share-based compensation expenses. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to our U.S. GAAP financial measures are set forth in tables at the end of this earnings release, which provide more details on the non-GAAP financial measures.

We use non-GAAP income from operation and non-GAAP net income in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Non-GAAP income from operation represents income from operation excluding share-based compensation expenses, and non-GAAP net income represents net income excluding share-based compensation expenses. Such adjustments have no impact on income tax. We believe that non-GAAP income from operation and non-GAAP net income help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that we include in results based on U.S. GAAP. We believe that non-GAAP income from operation and non-GAAP net income provide useful information about our 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. Our non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP results. In addition, our calculation of non-GAAP financial information may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.
