Mr. YongSuk Cho, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lufax, commented, “Operating conditions in the fourth quarter were especially challenging, with the adverse macroeconomic environment particularly impacting our core SMB customers. We responded by optimizing our operations to be more agile and efficient, and by prioritizing asset quality over growth through more stringent customer selection. Our focus also includes optimizing credit enhancement approaches to provide further support to our operating margins and business sustainability in the medium term. At the same time, we continued to grow our consumer finance business. As a result, our outstanding balance of consumer finance loans grew from RMB3.6 billion as of December 31, 2020 to RMB29.7 billion as of December 31, 2022, and our number of borrowers with outstanding consumer finance loans increased from 168,000 as of December 31, 2020 to 1.3 million as of December 31, 2022. While there remain uncertainties ahead, we see signs of the green shoots of recovery, heightening our confidence in an economic upturn in the quarters to come. Boosted by this macro backdrop, an increasingly stabilized regulatory environment, and our strong capital position, we remain confident that our upgraded strategy and resilient business model will drive our U-shaped recovery and deliver long-term shareholder value.”
Mr. Gregory Gibb, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Lufax, commented, “Macro-related headwinds drove a spike in credit impairment losses, adversely impacting our fourth quarter results. We continued executing on our geographically differentiated strategy, focusing on those regions demonstrating more economic resilience, and realizing a greater contribution in new loan volumes from these regions. At the same time, we further strengthened our business model by enhancing efficiencies, optimizing our channel mix, and fine-tuning our sales force. Furthermore, in addition to the joint credit enhancement model where we provide credit enhancement together with our partners, we engaged fruitfully with some of our funding partners regarding the implementation of a more optimized risk-bearing model where our guarantee company provides full provision of credit enhancement. Our recently launched SBO ecosystem is generating promising growth momentum, with 130,000 C-end customers and 120,000 B-end customers at the end of 2022, and a five-fold growth in registered customers in the first two months of this year. While significant uncertainty remains as to the pace of macroeconomic revival, we are confident of our U-shaped recovery in the medium term. During this process, we will patiently wait for rejuvenation of the SMB sector, prudently implement new risk strategies, entrench lessons learned during the pandemic, and be fully prepared to capture new business as the economy rebounds. Finally, to deliver greater value to our shareholders and thank them for their continued support, we will distribute a cash dividend for the second half of 2022.”
Mr. David Choy, Chief Financial Officer of Lufax, commented, “As macro volatilities and uncertainties persisted, we forged ahead with strategic initiatives to strengthen our business model and optimize costs. Bolstered by these efforts, in the fourth quarter of 2022, we successfully reduced our operating-related expenses by 20.8% on a year-over-year basis. Our balance sheet remains solid, with our cash at bank balance increasing year over year to RMB43.9 billion. Furthermore, liquid assets maturing in 90 days or less amounted to RMB49.9 billion as of December 31, 2022. Our guarantee subsidiary had net assets of RMB47.9 billion and its leverage ratio remained steady at 2.0x as of the end of December 2022, compared to a regulatory allowance of 10x, providing us with ample operational flexibility. Looking ahead, we remain confident in the resilience of our business model and our ability to create greater sustainable value for our shareholders.”

Technology platform-based income decreased by 33.5% to RMB5,874 million (US$852 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB8,836 million in the same period of 2021 due to 1) the decrease of retail credit service fees driven by the decrease in new loan sales and a lower take rate and 2) the decrease of referral and other technology platform-based income driven by the decrease in transaction volume. Net interest income increased by 3.2% to RMB4,369 million (US$633 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB4,234 million in the same period of 2021, mainly due to the increase in consumer finance loans, partially offset by the decrease in net interest income from trust plans. Guarantee income increased by 2.2% to RMB1,671 million (US$242 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB1,635 million in the same period of 2021, primarily due to the increase in the loans for which the Company bore credit risk. Other income was RMB131 million (US$19 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to RMB769 million in the same period of 2021, mainly due to the change of fee structure that the Company charged to its primary credit enhancement partner. Investment income decreased to RMB275 million (US$40 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB359 million in the same period of 2021, mainly due to the decrease of investment assets.
TOTAL EXPENSES
Total expenses increased by 12.4% to RMB12,922 million (US$1,874 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB11,492 million in the same period of 2021. This increase was mainly driven by credit impairment losses, since credit impairment losses increased by 147.1% to RMB6,259 million (US$907 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB2,533 million in the same period of 2021. Total expenses excluding credit impairment losses, asset impairment losses, finance costs and other (gains)/losses decreased by 20.8% to RMB6,574 million (US$953 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB8,302 million in the same period of 2021.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 23.4% to RMB3,706 million (US$537 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB4,835 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease was mainly due to 1) decreased new loan sales and reductions in commissions; 2) decreased investor acquisition and retention expenses and referral expenses from platform service driven by decreased transaction volume, and 3) decreased general sales and marketing expenses driven by the decrease in new loan sales. General and administrative expenses decreased by 22.8% to RMB750 million (US$109 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB971 million in the same period of 2021 as a result of decreased personnel expenses. Operation and servicing expenses decreased by 12.7% to RMB1,659 million (US$241 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB1,900 million in the same period of 2021, primarily due to the Company’s expense control measures and decrease of loan balance and new loan sales. Technology and analytics expenses decreased by 23.3% to RMB458 million (US$66 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB597 million in the same period of 2021 as a result of the Company’s improved efficiency. Credit impairment losses increased by 147.1% to RMB6,259 million (US$907 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB2,533 million in the same period of 2021, mainly driven by the increase of provision and indemnity losses as a result of 1) increased risk exposure, resulting from the Company, including the consumer finance subsidiary, bearing risk on 23.5% of its outstanding balance as of December 31, 2022, up from 16.6% as of December 31, 2021, and 2) worsening credit performance due in large part to the challenging macroeconomic environment. Asset impairment losses decreased by 99.0% to RMB7 million (US$1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB689 million in the same period of 2021, mainly due to the higher base of impairment loss in the fourth quarter of 2021 driven by impairment loss of intangible assets. Finance costs increased by 87.6% to RMB501 million (US$73 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB267 million in the same period of 2021, mainly due to interest costs related to early repayment of Ping An group convertible notes. Other gains were RMB419 million (US$61 million) in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to RMB300 million in the same period of 2021, mainly due to the increase in government subsidies.
[1] The take rate of retail credit enablement business is calculated by dividing the aggregated amount of loan enablement service fees, post-origination service fees, net interest income, guarantee income and the penalty fees and account management fees by the average outstanding balance of loans enabled for each period.

Loans from legacy products and consumer finance subsidiary are excluded from the flow rate calculation.
[3] DPD 30+ delinquency rate refers to the outstanding balance of loans for which any payment is 30 to 179 calendar days past due divided by the outstanding balance of loans. Loans from legacy products and consumer finance subsidiary are excluded from the calculation.
[4] DPD 90+ delinquency rate refers to the outstanding balance of loans for which any payment is 90 to 179 calendar days past due divided by the outstanding balance of loans. Loans from legacy products and consumer finance subsidiary are excluded from the calculation.
