users across our platform.

credit lines” refers to the total number of users who had submitted their credit applications and were approved with a credit line
at the end of each period.

“V-pocket”, and 19,743,736 loans across other products.
4 Refers to the total principal amount
of loans facilitated and originated during the given period.
5 “ICE” is an open
platform primarily on our “Qifu Jietiao” APP (previously known as “360 Jietiao”), we match borrowers and
financial institutions through big data and cloud computing technology on “ICE”, and provide pre-loan investigation
report of borrowers. For loans facilitated through “ICE”, the Company does not bear principal risk. Loan facilitation
volume through “ICE” was RMB 29,635 million in the third quarter of 2024.
Under total technology solutions, we have been

facilitation volume through total technology solutions was RMB761 million in the third quarter of 2024.
6 In 2021, we started to offer financial
institutions on-premise deployed, modular risk management SaaS, which helps financial institution partners improve credit assessment
results. We further began to offer end-to-end technology solutions to financial institutions based on on-premise deployment, SaaS or
hybrid model in 2023, which we refer to as total technology solutions. These foregoing services combined were previously referred to
as other technology solutions. However, as the risk management SaaS service only generated marginal returns and had little potential

to have a material impact on our overall business, financial condition, and results of operations..

at least one successful drawdown, divided by (ii) the total loan facilitation and origination volume through our platform during
that period.

Mr. Haisheng Wu, Chief Executive Officer
and Director of Qifu Technology, commented, “We are very pleased to deliver a strong quarter of financial results in a still challenging
macro environment with some tentative sign of increasing users’ activities late in the quarter. We continued to make noticeable
progress in key areas of our operations and achieved better efficiency and enhanced returns.
During the quarter, we saw continued improvement
in net take rates with the help of improving risks and lowering funding costs. Non-credit risk bearing loans for ongoing services accounted
for nearly 55% of total volume. In the third quarter, we further reduced unit costs for user acquisition through more efficient and diversified
user acquisition channels. Meanwhile, in an overall easing funding environment, we continued to strengthen our relationship with financial
institution partners and further reduced overall funding costs to another historic low.
While we are encouraged by recent release of stimulus
economic policies, it may still take a while to see the actual impact to the overall consumer demand and consumption behavior. Looking
ahead, we intend to continue to take a disciplined risk management approach despite improved asset quality and tentatively uptick in user
activities. With our consistent execution, we believe we are well positioned to capture long-term opportunities by building a comprehensive
credit-tech platform that offers differentiate products and services to users and financial institution partners based on their respective
credit profiles and risk preferences.”
“We are excited to report a set of strong
financial results in the quarter. Total net revenue was RMB4.37 billion and Non-GAAP net income was RMB1.83 billion for the third quarter,”
Mr. Alex Xu, Chief Financial Officer, commented. “At the end of the third quarter, our total cash and cash equivalent*12
was approximately RMB9.77 billion, and we generated approximately RMB2.37 billion cash from operations. During the quarter, we continued
to execute the US$350 million share repurchase program with meaningful progress. The newly approved US$450 million share repurchase program
for 2025 further demonstrates our strong commitment to sustainable shareholder returns through dividend and share repurchases.”
Mr. Yan Zheng, Chief Risk Officer, added,
“We experienced further improvement in overall risk metrics of our loan book in the third quarter as we continued to take a prudent
approach in managing risks. Among key leading indicators, Day-1 delinquency rate*13 was 4.6%, and 30-day collection rate*14
was approximately 87.4%. The 30-day collection rates reached its best levels in the past three years. As we remain vigilant in risk management
under current macro environment, we expect to see relatively stable overall risk performance in the coming quarters.”

cash”, “Security deposit prepaid to third-party guarantee companies” and “Short-term investments”.

million in the prior quarter.

facilitation and servicing fees-capital heavy were RMB258.7 million (US$36.9 million), compared to RMB479.2 million in the
same period of 2023 and RMB151.1 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to the decline in capital-heavy
loan facilitation volume, and the sequential increase mainly due to increasing capital-heavy loan facilitation volume and lower funding
cost for capital-heavy loan facilitation.
Financing
income*15 was RMB1,744.1 million (US$248.5 million), compared to RMB1,369.9 million in the same period of 2023 and
RMB1,690.1 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the growth in outstanding balance of the on-balance-sheet
loans.
Revenue
from releasing of guarantee liabilities was RMB794.6 million (US$113.2 million), compared to RMB1,165.7 million in the same
period of 2023, and RMB972.6 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year and sequential decreases were mainly due to decreases in
the average outstanding balance of off-balance-sheet capital-heavy loans during the period.
Other
services fees were RMB103.7 million (US$14.8 million), compared to RMB56.1 million in the same period of 2023, and RMB98.4
million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year and sequential increases were mainly due to the increases in late payment fees under
the capital-heavy model.
Net
revenue from Platform Services was RMB1,469.1 million (US$209.3 million), compared to RMB1,210.1 million in the same period
of 2023 and RMB1,247.9 million in the prior quarter.

same period of 2023 and RMB524.4 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a lower capital-light loan
facilitation volume.
Referral
services fees were RMB763.1 million (US$108.7 million), compared to RMB234.2 million in the same period of 2023 and RMB623.5
million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year and sequential increases were mainly due to the increases in the loan facilitation volume
through ICE.

million in the prior quarter.

of 2023 and RMB722.2 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher collection fees.
Funding
costs were RMB146.8 million (US$20.9 million), compared to RMB160.2 million in the same period of 2023 and RMB161.3 million
in the prior quarter. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to the lower average cost of ABS and trusts. The sequential decrease
was mainly due to the decline in funding from ABS and trusts and lower average costs.
Sales
and marketing expenses were RMB419.9 million (US$59.8 million), compared to RMB529.6 million in the same period of 2023
and RMB366.4 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a more prudent customer acquisition
approach. The sequential increase was primarily due to an increased number of customers acquired, offset by a lower unit customer
acquisition cost.
General
and administrative expenses were RMB92.0 million (US$13.1 million), compared to RMB95.4 million in the same period of 2023
and RMB95.1 million in the prior quarter.
Provision
for loans receivable was RMB477.5 million (US$68.0 million), compared to RMB509.0 million in the same period of 2023 and RMB849.5
million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year decrease mainly reflected the Company’s consistent approach in assessing provisions
commensurate with its underlying loan profile. The sequential decrease was mainly due to the decrease in loan origination volume of on-balance-sheet
loans and a larger reversal of prior quarters’ provision because of improving asset quality.
Provision
for financial assets receivable was RMB64.4 million (US$9.2 million), compared to RMB86.9 million in the same period of 2023
and RMB70.2 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year and sequential decreases mainly reflected the Company’s consistent

decline in loan facilitation volume of off-balance-sheet loans.

for accounts receivable and contract assets was RMB108.8 million (US$15.5 million), compared to RMB39.7 million in the same
period of 2023 and RMB123.8 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year and sequential changes reflected the Company’s consistent
approach in assessing provisions commensurate with its underlying loan profile.
Provision
for contingent liability was RMB63.6 million (US$9.1 million), compared to RMB831.6 million in the same period of 2023 and
RMB-213.3 million in the prior quarter. The year-over-year and sequential changes reflected the Company’s consistent approach in
assessing provisions commensurate with its underlying loan profile as well as the change in capital-heavy loan facilitation volume.

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, Non-GAAP
operating margin, Non-GAAP net income, Non-GAAP net income margin, Non-GAAP net income attributed to the Company and Non-GAAP net income
per fully diluted ADS 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. Non-GAAP operating margin is equal to Non-GAAP
income from operation divided by total net revenue. Non-GAAP net income represents net income excluding share-based compensation expenses.
Non-GAAP net income margin is equal to Non-GAAP net income divided by total net revenue. Non-GAAP net income attributed to the Company
represents net income attributed to the Company excluding share-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net income per fully diluted ADS
represents net income excluding share-based compensation expenses per fully diluted ADS. Such adjustments have no impact on income tax.
We believe that Non-GAAP income from operation, Non-GAAP operating margin, Non-GAAP net income, Non-GAAP net income margin, Non-GAAP net
income attributed to the Company and Non-GAAP net income per fully diluted ADS 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.
