LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025

Unaudited Financial Results

SHENZHEN, China, March 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. (“Lexin” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LX), a leading technology-empowered personal financial service enabler in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

Mr. Jay Wenjie Xiao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lexin, commented, “The fourth quarter marked an important transition for us as we adapted to the new regulatory framework. Amid heightened industry risk volatility, our proactive compliance efforts and disciplined risk management enabled us to secure a stable transition, while balancing business scale and overall asset quality.

Despite the complex macro environment in the fourth quarter, we concluded 2025 with robust full-year results. For the full year of 2025, net profit stood at RMB1.7 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 52.4%. These results underscore the fundamental resilience and diversity of our unique business ecosystem.

Going forward, we believe that the market will continue to consolidate toward leading, compliant platforms with prudent risk management. Leveraging our unique business ecosystem, we are well-positioned to capture potential opportunities as the industry enters this new stage of high-quality development.

We also remain deeply committed to enhancing shareholder returns. In accordance with our dividend policy, our board of directors has approved a dividend of US$0.188 per ADS, representing 30% of net income from the second half of 2025. In addition to cash dividends, we have cumulatively repurchased US$39 million worth of ADSs as of the date of this announcement. Furthermore, my personal US$10 million share purchase plan has been fully implemented. We will continue to explore various avenues to deliver sustainable value to our shareholders.”

Mr. James Zheng, Chief Financial Officer of Lexin, commented, “During the fourth quarter, as we navigated elevated risk volatility and the evolving regulatory landscape, our proactive risk management and pricing adjustments weighed on our bottom line, with net income recording RMB214 million. The resilience of our diversified business ecosystem provided an effective counterbalance to this impact. In parallel, we fortified our balance sheet with ample provisioning, while our funding costs declined substantially. These actions have fundamentally strengthened our foundation for long-term growth.

Looking ahead to 2026, as the industry enters a new phase of normalization, we will leverage our unique business ecosystem and comprehensive product matrix to continue executing our disciplined strategy, and deliver sustainable, long-term returns to our shareholders.”

Credit facilitation service income was RMB2,485 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to RMB2,712 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was due to the decrease in loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented and financing income, partially offset by the increases in guarantee income.

Loan facilitation and servicing fees-credit oriented was RMB1,293 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to RMB1,624 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the APR of off-balance sheet loans and the decrease in origination of off-balance sheet loans.

Guarantee income was RMB685 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to RMB577 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to the increase of outstanding balances in the off-balance sheet loans funded by certain institutional funding partners, which are accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees.

Financing income was RMB506 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to RMB510 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Tech-empowerment service income was RMB170 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to RMB602 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of loan facilitation volume through ICP.

Installment e-commerce platform service income was RMB388 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to RMB345 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in transaction volume with third-party sellers.

Cost of sales consisted of cost of inventory sold and other costs. Cost of sales was RMB248 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to RMB353 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in transaction volume of online direct sales which is recorded on a gross basis.

Funding cost was RMB34.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to RMB57.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in funding rates and balance of funding debts to fund the on-balance sheet loans.

Processing and servicing costs was RMB633 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to RMB583 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to the increase in risk management expenses.

Provision for financing receivables was RMB250 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to RMB297 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the increase in performance of oversea business, offset by the increase in the outstanding loan balances of on-balance sheet loans.

Change in fair value of financial guarantee derivatives and loans at fair value was a gain of RMB79.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to a loss of RMB144 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The change was primarily driven by the fair value gains realized as a result of the release of guarantee obligation as loans are repaid, partially offset by the fair value loss from the re-measurement of the expected loss rates.

Income tax expense was RMB51.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to RMB67.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in income before income tax expense.

Recent Development

Update of Share Repurchase Program

Pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program of up to US$50 million adopted in July 2025, the Company repurchased a total of approximately 9.6 million ADSs (equivalent to 19.2 million Class A ordinary shares) for approximately US$39 million. The remaining amount under the share repurchase program was US$11 million as of the date of this announcement.

Business Outlook

Looking ahead, while our risk metrics continue to improve, we remain prudent in light of ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties and expect total loan origination for the first quarter of 2026 to remain flat.

This forecast reflects our current preliminary views, which are subject to the impact of macroeconomic factors. The Company may adjust its performance outlook as appropriate based on evolving circumstances.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statement

In evaluating our business, we consider and use adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, non-GAAP EBIT, adjusted net income per ordinary share and per ADS attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, four non-GAAP measures, as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company as net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company excluding share-based compensation expenses, interest expense associated with convertible notes, and investment income/(loss) and we define non-GAAP EBIT as net income excluding income tax expense, share-based compensation expenses, interest expense, net, and investment income/(loss).

We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. Adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company enables our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses, interest expense associated with convertible notes, and investment income/(loss). Non-GAAP EBIT, on the other hand, enables our management to assess our operating results without considering the impact of income tax expense, share-based compensation expenses, interest expense, net, and investment income/(loss). We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company and non-GAAP EBIT is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect our operations. Share-based compensation expenses, interest expense associated with convertible notes, income tax expense, interest expense, net, and investment income/(loss) have been and may continue to be incurred in our business and are not reflected in the presentation of adjusted net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company and non-GAAP EBIT. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the non-GAAP financial information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

We compensate for these limitations by reconciling each of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, 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.

Exchange Rate Information Statement

This announcement contains translations of certain RMB amounts into U.S. dollars (“US$”) at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise stated, all translations from RMB to US$ were made at the rate of RMB6.9931 to US$1.00, the exchange rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board on December 31, 2025. The Company makes no representation that the RMB or US$ amounts referred could be converted into US$ or RMB, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all.
