Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Net revenue for the third quarter of 2021 increased by 40.8% to RMB2,525.1 million (US$391.9 million) from RMB1,793.3 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the increase in loan facilitation service fees and post facilitation service fees.

Loan facilitation service fees increased by 121.1% to RMB1,075.1 million (US$166.8 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB486.3 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the increase in transaction volume.

Post-facilitation service fees increased by 123.8% to RMB361.2 million (US$56.1 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB161.4 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the increase in outstanding loans serviced by the Company and the rolling impact of deferred transaction fees.

Guarantee income was RMB644.5 million (US$100.0 million) for the third quarter of 2021 compared to RMB747.1 million in the same period of 2020, as a result of improved asset quality. The fair value of quality assurance commitment upon loan origination is released as guarantee income systematically over the term of the loans subject to quality assurance commitment. As we transitioned our business towards better quality borrowers, the fair value of quality assurance commitment upon loan origination decreased due to better asset quality which resulted in the decrease in guarantee income.

Net interest income increased by 27.5% to RMB332.6 million (US$51.6 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB260.9 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to increase in transaction volume originated in the international markets.

Other revenue decreased by 18.8% to RMB111.7 million (US$17.3 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB137.6 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the decrease in customer referral fees from other third-party platforms.

Origination and servicing expenses increased by 35.6% to RMB459.6 million (US$71.3 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB338.9 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the increase in employees’ expenditure and fees paid to third party service providers.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by 236.1% to RMB387.5 million (US$60.1 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB115.3 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the increase in online customer acquisition expenses as a result of increased efforts in acquiring new borrowers on the Company’s platform.

Research and development expenses increased by 12.4% to RMB104.5 million (US$16.2 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB93.0 million in the same period of 2020, due to increased investments in technology development.

General and administrative expenses increased by 16.9% to RMB123.2 million (US$19.1 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB105.4 million in the same period of 2020, due to increased expenditures in employees benefits.

Provision for accounts receivables and other receivables decreased by 6.3% to RMB32.9 million (US$5.1 million) for the third quarter of 2021, from RMB35.1 million in the same period of 2020 as a result of improved credit quality partially offset by the increase in outstanding loan balances.

Provision for loans receivables was RMB142.5 million (US$22.1 million) for the third quarter of 2021, compared with RMB90.0 million in the same period of 2020, and the increase was primarily due to the higher transaction volume originated in international markets.

Credit losses for quality assurance commitment were RMB545.1 million (US$84.6 million) for the third quarter of 2021 compared to RMB326.6 million in the same period of 2020, primarily due to the increase in outstanding loan balances partially offset by improved asset quality.

Operating profit increased by 5.9% to RMB729.9 million (US$113.3 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB689.0 million in the same period of 2020.

Non-GAAP adjusted operating income, which excludes share-based compensation expenses before tax, was RMB751.3 million (US$116.6 million) for the third quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 7.7% from RMB697.6 million in the same period of 2020.

Other income decreased by 43.7% to RMB14.8 million (US$2.3 million) for the third quarter of 2021 from RMB26.3 million in the same period of 2020, mainly due to fair value change of investments.

Income tax expenses were RMB112.2 million (US$17.4 million) for the third quarter of 2021, compared with RMB118.4 million in the same period of 2020, and the decrease was mainly due to change in preferential tax rate for certain qualified subsidiaries, partially offset by the increase in pre-tax profit.

Net profit was RMB632.4 million (US$98.2 million) for the third quarter of 2021, compared to RMB596.9 million in the same period of 2020.

Diluted net profit per ADS was RMB2.15 (US$0.33) and diluted net profit per share was RMB0.43 (US$0.07), an increase of 4.9% year over year. Non-GAAP diluted net profit per ADS was RMB2.21 (US$0.34) and Non-GAAP diluted net profit per share was RMB0.44 (US$0.07), an increase of 6.3% year over year. Each ADS represents five Class A ordinary shares of the Company.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB3,349.8 million (US$519.9 million) and short-term investments, mainly in wealth management products, of RMB1,738.6 million (US$269.8 million).

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use Non-GAAP operating profit, Non-GAAP basic and diluted net profit per share and per ADS which are Non-GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. We believe that adjusted operating profit helps identify underlying trends in our business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses and expected discretionary measures. We believe that adjusted operating profit 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.

Non-GAAP adjusted operating profit, Non-GAAP basic and diluted net profit per share and per ADS are not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These Non-GAAP financial measures have 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. The Company encourages investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

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.

Squaretalk is now accepting crypto as a form of payment

 

We’re delighted to inform you that Squaretalk has become a pioneer in the contact center software market to start accepting cryptocurrencies by partnering with CoinGate. Squaretalk decided to join Wikipedia, Microsoft, AT&T, Namecheap, ExpressVPN, and many other big firms, by accepting Bitcoin as a legitimate source of funds in addition to Stripe, PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.

Thanks to the new partnership with CoinGate, a winner of the Global Brands Award 2021 of Most Innovative Cryptocurrency Payment Gateway in Europe, Squaretalk’s customers can make instant payments with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, XRP and other popular cryptocurrencies.

While there is still a long way to go until companies accept Bitcoin directly and not through payment processors or Bitcoin debit cards, Squaretalk continues to innovate and respond rapidly to market changes.

Squaretalk will utilize one of CoinGate’s key strengths – a wide array of supported cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and more than 70 other digital assets. The abundance of various currencies will let Squaretalk tap into the crypto-sphere, broaden its own customer base, and receive cross-border payments from users all around the world – all with just one click of a button.

“Squaretalk has chosen CoinGate as it has been a pioneer in the field of cryptocurrency and has shown adaptability in client’s needs, in functionality, and an extensive list of supported currencies. CoinGate provides the tools and proper environment to operate and integrate with most platforms,” emphasizes Elisha Attia, Squaretalk Business Development Manager.

“This partnership boils down to being a great business deal for both parties. Squaretalk is an innovative company with a mature mindset – they offer cloud-based services, and have no trouble understanding that the adoption of crypto has numerous benefits: crypto-transactions are seen as fast, efficient and ease the burden of cross-border payments,” points out- Dmitrijus Borisenka, CEO of CoinGate.

PayU Finance continues to bolster senior leadership team, elevates Bhavik Kaul as Chief Product Officer

 

PayU Finance, which owns LazyPay, India’s preferred Buy Now Pay Later solution and PaySense, a full stack personal loans company, has elevated Bhavik Kaul as the company’s Chief Product Officer (CPO), further strengthening its leadership team to scale up the business and pave the way for the next phase of growth. He will be responsible for building and expanding the product portfolio aligned to PayU Finance’s ambition of creating a full-stack digital financial services platform to serve all financial needs of consumers in India.

In his new position as Chief Product Officer, Bhavik will lead a 40-member team across product, design and program management and will focus on building product portfolios under ‘Buy Now, Pay Later’ (BNPL) deferred payment, EMI at checkout, cards, personal loans up to INR. 10 lakhs, savings & investment products including gold, crypto and personal finance management. Bhavik has over a decade of experience in building products in the consumer internet space with expertise across content, gaming, social, commerce, hyperlocal logistics, organic farming and now FinTech. He has played an instrumental role in growing revenue lines for businesses and has demonstrated strong product management, strategic and operational leadership.

Commenting on Bhavik’s elevation, Prashanth Ranganathan, CEO, PayU Finance, saidIndia’s credit ecosystem remained resilient despite the pandemic and consumer demand especially for products such as Buy Now, Pay Later gained momentum. Bhavik has demonstrated exceptional capabilities by laying a strong product foundation and bringing multiple and unique possibilities of the PayU Finance offering to life, such as BNPL via UPI and flexible repayments for small ticket sizes. He will play a vital role in the evolution of our existing products, while also driving the development of innovative new products and revenue streams to fuel further growth. Through our innovative product offerings, we aim to achieve $1.5 billion in credit disbursals in the next five years”.

Bhavik Kaul, Chief Product Officer, PayU Finance, saidIndia is highly underserved in the retail credit space with a deficit of over $300 billion. While the top of the pyramid has always enjoyed access via big banks, the same has not been the case for the rest of India. At PayU Finance, our goal is to enable financial inclusion by focusing on data & ML algorithms to provide responsible credit to the next 250 million Indian users. To this end, we have developed a strong culture of innovating quickly, testing, learning and then scaling. We will continue to listen closely to our customers and work with our merchants, banking and network partners to enable diverse fintech experiences which are frictionless, easy to understand and anti-predatory”.

Bhavik joined PayU Finance in 2020 and spearheaded the development of LazyPay (India’s largest BNPL product) with the objective of enabling more Indians with easy access to credit solutions. In his previous role as the Vice President and Product Head at LazyPay, Bhavik launched several innovative products such as BNPL through UPI, converting UPI transactions to EMIs, flexible repayments for small ticket sizes and most recently, a fully functional deep integration with merchants with a grey labelled credit product, called Dunzo Pay Later. Under his leadership, LazyPay witnessed a 5X growth in the BNPL segment.

Before working with PayU Finance, Bhavik was the Director of Products for User, Growth & Marketplace at Dunzo, heading the product and design team and helped Dunzo grow to over 2 million orders per month by revamping the entire B2C platform and user flows in less than a year. He has also contributed to growth of companies such as Hike, Microsoft, Deloitte and was previously the Co-Founder of Ek Titli, a Pune based Organic farming startup.

Amar Bank awarded Innovative Tech Companies of the Year award at the ACES Awards 2021

 

PT Bank Amar Indonesia Tbk (“Amar Bank“), Indonesia’s first and only pure-play digital bank, was awarded the Innovative Tech Companies of the Year award, at the Asia Corporate Excellence & Sustainability (ACES) Awards 2021.

Thailand Establishes the International Medical Cannabis Research Center

 

Thailand’s Public Health Ministry has signed a Memorandum of Understanding  (MOU) with RxLeaf World Medica on establishing the International Medical Cannabis Research Center. The latest movement is a part of Thailand’s plan to be a world-class cannabis production and development hub. The center aims to be a knowledge hub for genetic research on medical cannabis, bringing together doctors, researchers, experts from Canadathe Netherlands and other countries to conduct cannabis products research and development while at the same time exchanging the medical cannabis knowledge.

Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand and Minister of Public Health, said the ministry has been promoting medical cannabis and its safe treatment. According to the study, cannabis can treat various diseases such as cancer, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis with muscle pain, and neuralgia.

The minister also acknowledged the COVID-19 situation has affected the Thai economy, and to alleviate the situation, the economic reform and new opportunities required. The center is one of the catalysts to support the economic recovery. This also conforms to the Thai government’s plans to promote the country as a comprehensive medical hub in Asia, and to encourage the development of the cannabis value chain, including product cultivation, standardization, market expansion and support for investments in new products.

The medical industry is a key prospect for economic reform due to its global valuation at US$8.3 trillion, while the legalized cannabis market is at approximately US$12.5 billion (source from WHO and Prohibition Partners). Therefore, this is a tremendous opportunity for the country as Thailand has both the personnel and physical capability and potential to accept this challenge.

Creating a medical and wellness tourism hub will attract those who prefer integrative medicine and plant-based products such as those developed from herbs for cancer or seizure patients, as well as cosmetics and dietary supplements. Additionally, these products will add value to the food and drink market and allow both farmers and entrepreneurs to grow and develop sustainable products.

This policy led to a partnership between public and private sectors in establishing the International Medical Cannabis Research Center under an MOU signing with RxLeaf World Medica Company Limited, a subsidiary of Amara Asia Company Limited. Amara possesses expertise in cannabis growing and plant using solvent-free technology for medical use.

I developed the concept of deep learning while studying at MIT in 2020 in parallel to doing my general management program at Harvard Business School. I wanted to solve the challenge of venture capital random returns distribution and understand how many bets a fund manager needs to place to generate above 50x CoC return for at least 6% of its investment portfolio. Today, 90% of the venture capital funds do not return more than 1x of investor capital due to lack of access or quality deal pipeline. For venture capital funds to generate between 2x to 4x cash on cash return, investment managers would require multiple offices in various jurisdictions, with teams comprising 30 to 40 analysts or losing control of the deal process by outsourcing to fee-based referral networks.

Millennial Ai, a proprietary data science algorithm of Global Millennial Capital presents a revolutionary solution to the ongoing issue of access to quality deal pipeline. We constructed a world of opportunities by analyzing global venture capital big data and being able to assess with confidence investment data points within clusters, investment stages, models and context as well as provide unique company linked algorithm assessments. We can analyze between 15,000 to 20,000 companies today with an increased potential in the coming months.

  • Please tell us more about your areas of focus with the fund and investments completed to date.

Global Millennial Capital private investment fund has completed 10 investments in the US with an aggregate portfolio value of USD 152 million as of October 2021. Our vision is to become the venture capital fund of choice for regional investors, positioned at the intersection of fintech and investment management by providing access to Silicon Valley curated opportuntities. We are extremely excited about the outlook of our technology as well as our portfolio companies as we continue to disrupt the traditional wealth management space in collaboration with the financial regulators within various jurisdictions which enable us to carry our activities within the institutional grade guidelines as a regulated private investment fund.

  • Please tell us about your investments completed to date.

Our portfolio strategy focuses on the fintech vertical where we observe attractive statistics such as funding velocity and investor propensity but also shorter investment period to unicorn status. Financial services are transforming driven by digitization, on demand and hyper-personalization led by the requirements of millennials and GenZs, the emergency of DEFI, crypto and blockchain as well as accessibility of financial solutions to masses for banked and unbanked consumer groups. We surely excited about various of our portfolio winners with companies like Envel, a fintech which uses artificial intelligence to automate your personal finances, as well as Rocket Dollar who provides investment freedom by unlocking the retirement plan into alternatives, Financial Choice a robo-advisor who provides liquidity for mutual funds, bonds and equity markets instantly by transforming your checking account and adding investment features. We have sourced and analyzed around 10,000 fintech companies globally with our team of data scientists creating a fund collective intelligence which enables us to understand clusters, trends, statistics, criteria and benchmarking globally across investment stages.

  • Data is the new oil for the future economy. How do you use data and technology in planning and finalizing strategic decisions for the venture capital industry?

Venture capital (VC) has been growing rapidly in recent years. So far, the screening and evaluation of potential startups as investment objects depends on the venture capitalist’s personal experience, network and qualitative evaluations. In the era of big data, the advent of new data sources and analytic techniques enables a data-driven investment process. Our analysis shows that the data-driven approach impacts the deal origination and screening stages of investment. It leads to informational and transactional benefits, which lower operational costs in the short term and enlarge the potential return on investment of a VC firm in the long term. We believe that the introduction of automation or data driven assessment models are providing us a significant competitive advantage over our competitors along with an advanced knowledge-based approach which will significantly differentiate our investment returns.
