Recent Development
In response to the recent SEC rules on cybersecurity risk management, strategy, governance, and incident disclosure, the board of directors has proactively adopted the Cybersecurity Incident Response Policy. This initiative, including the establishment of a cybersecurity risk management committee chaired by Mr. Ning Tang with members Mr. Sam Hanhui Sun and Mr. Hao Li, underscores the Company’s dedication to not only adhering to but exceeding regulatory standards, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency and transparency of corporate governance. The Company’s approach is rooted in a proactive stance towards risk management related to the use of information technology and data protection, reflecting a broader commitment to maintaining stakeholder trust by staying at the forefront of industry best practices. For more detailed information on the cybersecurity risk management committee and the committee’s charter, please visit our website at https://ir.yiren.com/
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses several non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental measures to review and assess operating performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our core operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in our financial and operational decision-making. The presentation of these 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. Other companies, including peer companies in the industry, may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently, which may reduce their usefulness as a comparative measure. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance. See “Operating Highlights and Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures” at the end of this press release.
