Only under the prudent strategy, we can navigate the fluctuation and actually a steady and sustainable long term prosperity will mean, we will continue to generate value for our shareholders through our solid performance.

As I mentioned when the CFO Alex.

Thank you I'm going to work.

Okay. Thank.

Thank you Michele good morning, and good evening, everyone welcome to our third quarter earnings call.

Before I start my.

Regular update let me first introduce a new member of our capital market team miscarriage G T and <unk>.

<unk> joined us as our senior director of capital market.

We will be providing valuable insights experience and leadership to our capital market and the IR team.

With our upcoming listing in the Hong Kong stock exchange, we really look forward to having Karen and other team members offer better services to our shareholders and the broader investment community.

As John discussed earlier, we delivered another solid quarter.

Changing macro environment.

From July to September demand for consumer credit through our platform grew sequentially each and every much although the velocity and the magnitude of such improvement or modest.

During the quarter, we continued to push for steady improvement in overall asset quality.

Further engaging high quality, new borrower base.

Overall day, one delinquency has been on a steady declining trend months after much so far in 2022.

Against a difficult macro trend early in the year.

It was four 5% for Q3 versus four 9% in Q2 and further declined to four 3% in October .

The continued improvement in day, one delinquency further validate our strategy.

This strategic focus on high quality user segment.

30 day collection rate also improved in Q3 and reached the best level in 2022 during the quarter.

We resumed most standard collection activity.

To the pre Covid lockdown level, which drove the improvement of the metrics.

Once again.

We were clear output, we see clear outperformance by new borrowers versus existing borrowers.

Total net revenue for Q3 was $12 1 billion versus $4 2 billion in Q2, and $4 6 billion a year ago Red.

Revenue from credit driven service capital heavy was $2 9 billion compared to 2.9 billion in Q2, and $2 6 billion a year ago.

The year on year growth was mainly due to growth in on balance sheet loan volume more than offsetting the negative impact from decline in average pricing of the loans.

After heavy facilitation revenue take rates improved slightly versus Q2, mainly due to lower funding costs and longer long tenor.

Revenue from parking service kept on light was $1 2 billion compared to $1 2 billion in Q2, and 2 billion a year ago.

Year on year decline was mainly due to product mix change and platform services and decline of average pricing of capitalized loan facilitation.

During the quarter capital light loan facilitation.

<unk> and other technology solutions combined account for roughly 58% of total loan volume.

Given the still changing macro environment, we continued to increase the portion of loans processed through IC and other technology solutions to further mitigate potential risks.

These solutions normally have different commercial terms compared to the regular capitalized loan facilitation.

In the long run we will continue to pursue tech driven business model, we're striking a balance between various form of non risk bearing solutions based on macro environment and operational conditions.

During the quarter average IRR prices are the loans, we originated and facilitated declined modestly to just below 22%.

Well within the 24% rate cap requirement.

We expect pricing to be relatively stable for the coming quarters.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by approximately 2% sequentially in Q3.

Slower pace of increase reflect our continued effort to improve the efficiency or effectiveness of our user acquisition system and drive cost efficiencies.

Please note during the quarter, we added approximately $1 7 million new credit line users compared to approximately $1 4 million in Q2.

Unit cost to acquire acquire a new credit line user declined approximately 15% sequentially.

As such average cost per dollar amount your credit line also declined by a similar magnitude Q on Q.

As always we will continue to use lifecycle, ROI and LTV as key metrics to determine the pace and scope of our user acquisition strategy to ensure the sustainability and the profitability of our operations.

Overall risk profile of our loan portfolio continue to improve in Q3 due to the contributions from new loans from higher quality users.

But impacts from micro uncertainty and the latest outbreak of Covid case across the nation, we're still somewhat visible.

Although we continue to take a prudent approach in booking provisions against the potential credit loss.

Evaluation of previous quarter's provision yield sizable write backs at <unk>.

Micro condition improved Q on Q.

Total new provisions across four different categories for loans originated in the facility during the quarter was approximately $1 8 billion well approximately 300 billion previous provisions were written back.

With strong operating results and the increased contribution from capital light model, our leverage ratio, which is defined as risk bearing lung balance divided by shareholders equity was at historical low of 3.8 times in Q3 compared to four.

Three times a year ago.

We expect to see rather stable leverage ratio for the time being until capital light contribution grow beyond current wrench bonds in the future.

We generate approximately $1 6 billion cash from operations in Q3 compared to $1 1 billion in Q2.

Significant sequential increase in operating cash flow was mainly driven by better working capital management. If you recall last quarter due to some COVID-19 related administrative procedure delays, we were unable to collect certain receivables in time those receivables or eventually.

Settled in Q3, pushing our cash flow.

Total cash and cash equivalents was $10 8 billion in Q3 compared to $11 4 billion in Q2.

Nonrestricted cash was approximately $7 2 billion in Q3 versus 7 billion in Q2.

Last couple of quarters, we took a more conservative approach to deploy to deploy our cash in day to day business, mainly due to macro uncertainty.

Ideally a significant portion of our cash would normally be allocated to support the superior security deposit with our institution partners or to fund on balance sheet lending in normal business course.

non-GAAP net profit was 1.14 billion compared to one point or two billing in Q2.

As we continue to generate healthy cash flow from operations. We believe our current cash position is sufficient to support the growth of our business.

West in key technologies to satisfy potential regulatory requirements and to return to our shareholders.

Cortez with the dividend policy approved by our board last year, we declared another quarterly dividend of U S. Dollar 16 cents per ads for Q3.

Finally regarding our outlook for the fourth quarter.

Although we managed to deliver a solid operating and financial results. So far this year in a very challenging macro environment, we still want to maintain a prudent approach to plan our business for the near term, particularly given the recent resurgence of Covid cases nationwide.

And the subsequent restrictive measures taken by local authorities.

At this junction we expect total loan volume for Q4 to be between RMB, One O two 5 billion.

RMB $112 5 billion, representing year on year growth up 6% to 16% as always this forecast reflects the company's current and preliminary views, which are subject to material change.

With that I would like to conclude my prepared remarks, operator, we cannot take some questions.

Yes.

So I have two questions. Please.

Thanks, Chris.

One is it.

In.

The.

Hong Kong listing plan.

Congratulation to that because this is the first online lender in ADR of China to go back to Hong Kong for releasing.

Wondering about the details regarding time lines and also is there any plan to go for primary listing because currently the factory yeah. So that's the first question. The second one is more about APR.

Currently we're saying in the past few quarters, our API has been on a downtrend.

But just wondering what's the outlook for ADR, Oh, sorry, APR, if we consider that the demand side and also relates to the direction and also our strategy.

Strategy. Thank you very much.

Huh.

Lindsay kinetics were you hammer.

Okay sure so for the Hong Kong less team timetable.

You know, we just released the PRP.

This morning and.

<unk>.

Basically our intention is to follow the.

The normal procedure of the Hong Kong exchange.

To push for the final official prospectus relief and then the.

Marketing Road show.

And then the listing so that's our intention in terms of exactly how many days or how long it would take.

You can refer to some other cases I believe are the normal course.

Regular basis somewhere between two weeks timeframe, so thats roughly and secondly.

Secondly is about the.

The two primary listing in the future.

Is that area or the direction, where kind of are looking at seriously.

Because there are certain benefits to become mature primary listing.

Hong Kong, but I guess first you need to finish the secondary listing.

Then when it meets certain criteria is then you can apply for the for the dual primary so it was kind of a step by step, saying, we're just right now to try to finish the first step and somewhere down the road when the condition ready we're pursuing that.

Excellent.

This is Leon Qi from Daiwa.

I have two questions regarding the results itself. The first question is regarding the loan pricing.

Just want to know what exactly is the neuro and pricing for the launch quantity throughout the third quarter. This year and the second question is regarding the loan demand as Mr. She just mentioned, we've seen better loan demand in the third quarter compared with the second quarter.

In our view what is the typical borrower profile.

It is oh Daemonian warn you along.

At the low end demand come from for example, which sectors all segments. Thanks a lot.

She showed a clear push if for some reason.

In terms of the business nature actually consumer alone is quite non zinc nickel. We we see this demands a gradual recovery is come comes from the.

Customers in the area that previously husky by Colgate.

Okay.

Yeah.

Okay.

Just want to probably add a little bit of color on that so.

Leon to your question.

Really on the consumer side, we don't really particularly tracking.

They are professionals they.

Our kind of our categories and everything so that's that's not the kind of the focus points and then also that's not.

That's kind of a data we can provide in terms of which professional getting better in terms of the improvement.

But just like I mentioned.

You you sort of you can imagine that.

You know for those areas that being locked down for example in Shanghai during the.

March April may period.

When the Lockdown get released.

It will be a pretty notable rebound.

You know in demand so that's kind of a German edition part driven this recovery in the in the third quarter.

The ticket size can management comment about the trend in recent quarters and my third question is about the Q4 guidance.

Given the pandemic situation.

Well with Atlantic.

Just wanted to get a sense about the high end and the low end of the guidance and.

First.

Under what scenario should we expect it to hit the low end should we expect the pandemic.

The pilot situation. Thank you.

Gotcha.

Tissues without impact.

John .

I will act to incubate.

<unk> got pretty good how quickly can they do it.

First of all from the point of regulatory.

Therefore for.

For 2009 in last year, we believe the 14 task one that is damage for this meeting are more competitive in compliance deals in the future.

Yeah. This is Dan.

So as that goes.

Hmm.

Regardless right now.

Uh huh.

I suppose that.

There could be.

The way you here's a good.

Hi, Kimberly that lunch and when you don't have it because you didn't shoot attempted kingdom.

I have been pushing.

The museum.

Hi, Kelly.

If you look at the 14 task one around two point out number one the credit Mark the credit market is that right.

A large market with multiple layers different players may cross over across the different layers a little bit secondly, this these mass market that we do not see that different players will compete directly head to head.

Yoga glean from.

The mainland ticket side.

Hum.

Zakaria Hawaiian suite, a woman the tickets that Jim.

Boys, who Twilio transit system.

A woman.

So if we sold them in cooking, but it's in the gigabit in Denmark.

Okay.

As a teacher in a woman.

Hum like cookies children's indoor Cheetah, let him do that Kimball.

Kimball.

There are two factors when we consider ticket side number one factor considering the macro environment. Since we took the prudent approach that our risk management strategy, we are not drive our ticket side.

<unk> point as we are continuously upgrading our customer base. This year, we're seeing the good customers can bring more value create longer alone.

Time value and the larger ticket size.

And the design going Q4 to the outlook.

You unequivocally yes.

We ask that you do so.

<unk> you recently, yeah sure Matt Yeah, a woman can be here.

And then the only thing the usual.

With that since it continued into women and men Loanda yoga.

So we are today.

Eli the digger each vegan soup.

Zero Linda.

When you get into the game plan.

As for our outlook for Q4.

There are several factors, we take into consideration a number.

Number one there right there is seasonality in funding supply in Q4 due to the operation of banking industry. However, as everyone knows there are sufficient staff in China financial system. This year, we do not see these that are coming to effect this year.

Second reason is the macro environment and our colleagues.

One why is.

Is the major.

Major a major concern for our guidance.

I assume you can hear me.

Sure Thomas I, just wanted to add a little bit to your last question regarding the Q4 guidance.

Basically the guidance reflects our view.

View of the current sort of micro condition. Obviously, you know the you know the Chinese.

Chinese market. These days are very dynamic given the.

Covid related policy, changing or pending changing as well as a reaction by the local authority to those kind of the new coverage policies, we heard a different kind of messages. Some say the low some certain local areas or more aggressive to kind of a reopening.

Whereas some others still maintain that kind of restricting kind of stance. There. So it's kind of a.

Changing dynamic.

But based on what we can see today.

I think the guidance we provided in the Q4 is within a comfortable level. Then obviously if say for the second half of this quarter seems getting better than you know well, we'll probably see a better performance.

Ice versus so that's only based on information we get today.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Thank you very much there's no more questions.

Management back to you for the conclusion remarks.
