Fourth Quarter 2022 Operational and Financial Highlights
Fiscal Year 2022 Operational and Financial Highlights
"The year 2022 is another important year in the history of CNFinance. In 2022, China's real estate market continued to face downward pressures, and we have experienced the adjustment to China's pandemic prevention and control policies. During the year, the management considered the challenges and chances in a synergetic way and strove to promote high-quality development of our services. With the joint efforts of every employee, we were able to deliver a solid result at year end. We concluded the year facilitating loans of over RMB12.2 billion with trust company partners and introducing loans of RMB2.5 billion to the commercial bank partners. The commercial bank partnership model has grown and become a new contributor to the Company's revenue stream. At the same time, interest income charged to sales partners also increased significantly in the fiscal year of 2022 as compared to that of 2021. We recorded a net income of 137.8 million, representing a year on year increase of 111.3%.
As we affirm the achievements we have made, we must not lose sight of the difficulties confronting us. We implemented a series of measures to improve our management efficiencies and will continue to refine our collaboration model with commercial banks. We plan to invest more in technology to increase the overall efficiency in borrower acquisition and initial screening process. We will also work closely with commercial bank partners to provide better post-loan services to MSE owners. We believe such advancements will help CNFinance build more solid foundations to pursue continuous development in China's inclusive finance industry and allow us to provide better services to more MSE owners and help them achieve their business goals." Commented Mr.Zhai Bin, Chairman and CEO of CNFinance.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Total interest and fees income for the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased by 1.2% to RMB454.5 million (US$65.9 million) as compared to RMB460.0 million for the same period of 2021.
Interest and financing service fees on loans decreased by 6.1% to RMB417.7 million (US$60.6 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to RMB444.7 million for the same period of 2021, primarily attributable to a decrease in the balance of average daily outstanding loan principal. Such decrease was mainly as a result of the Company's transferal of loans under the traditional facilitation model to third parties in bulk during the fourth quarter of 2021 along with the impact of strict pandemic prevention and control measures taken from January to November 2022, which was partially offset by an increase in the total outstanding loan principal under the collaboration model.
Interest income charged to sales partners, representing fee charged to sales partners who choose to repurchase default loans in installments, increased by 190.2% to RMB32.5 million (US$4.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB11.2 million in the same period of 2021, primarily attributable to an increase in the delinquent loans that were repurchased by the sales partners in installments.
Interest on deposits with banks increased by 4.9% to RMB4.3 million (US$0.6 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to RMB4.1 million for the same period of 2021, primarily due to the higher daily average amount of time deposits.
Total interest and fees expenses decreased by 1.9% to RMB201.2 million (US$29.2 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to RMB205.2 million for the same period of 2021, primarily due to a decrease in daily average outstanding principal of other borrowings.
Net interest and fees income decreased by 0.6% to RMB253.3 million (US$36.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to RMB254.8 million for the same period of 2021.
Net revenue under the commercial bank partnership model, representing fees charged to commercial banks for services including introducing borrowers, initial credit assessment, facilitating loans from the banks to the borrower and providing technical assistance to the borrower and banks, net of fees paid to third-party insurance company, was RMB56.3 million (US$8.2 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company has started to collaborate with commercial banks since 2021 and such collaboration grew and scaled in the second half of 2022.
Collaboration cost for sales partners representing sales incentives paid to sales partners decreased to RMB79.6 million (US$11.5 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB119.5 million in the same period of 2021, primarily attributable to a lower average fee rate the Company paid to sales partners in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period of 2021. The fee rate under collaboration model varies based on different collaboration model types and the terms of the loan.
Net interest and fees income after collaboration cost was RMB230.0 million (US$33.4 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022, representing an increase of 69.9% from RMB135.4 million in the same period of 2021.
Provision for credit losses, representing provision for credit losses under the trust lending model and the expected credit losses of guarantee under the commercial bank partnership model in relation to certain financial guarantee arrangements the Company entered into with a third-party guarantor, who provides guarantee services to commercial bank partners, was RMB142.7 million (US$20.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to a reversal of RMB302.8 million for the same period of 2021,. The reversal in 2021 was primarily due to the fact that the Company transferred loans under the traditional facilitation model to third parties in bulk during the fourth quarter of 2021 and the allowance of such loans was reversed. The increase in provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2022 was mainly due to economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19 pandemic and the relevant prevention and control measures, as well as the downward pressure faced by China's real estate market during the fourth quarter of 2022.
Net losses on sales of loans was RMB1.3 million (US$0.2 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to RMB468.6 million in the same period of 2021, primarily attributable to the fact that the Company transferred loans under the traditional facilitation model to third parties in bulk during the fourth quarter of 2021. Such loans were all facilitated prior to 2019, and the majority of them were long past due.
Other gains, net was RMB24.6 million (US$3.6 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to RMB7.3 million for the same period of 2021, primarily attributable to the increase of Credit Risk Mitigation Position forfeited by the sales partners.
Operating expenses decreased by 20.8% to RMB84.2 million (US$12.3million) for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with RMB106.3 million for the same period of 2021.
Employee compensation and benefits decreased by 10.9% to RMB55.6 million (US$8.1 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to RMB62.4 million for the same period of 2021, primarily due to a decrease in compensation associated with decreased operational headcounts.
Share-based compensation expenses decreased by 70.2% to RMB1.4 million (US$0.2 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022 from RMB4.7 million in the same period of 2021. According to the Company's share option plan adopted on December 31, 2019, approximately 50%, 30% and 20% of the option granted will be vested on December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. Related compensation cost of the option grants will be recognized over the requisite period.
Taxes and surcharges increased by 9.9% to RMB11.1 million (US$1.6 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to RMB10.1 million for the same period of 2021, primarily attributable to an increase in the non-deductible value added tax ("VAT"). The increase in VAT was attributable to the characterization of certain amounts as "service fees charged to trust plans" which are a non-deductible item. According to PRC tax regulations, "service fees charged to trust plans" incur a 6% VAT on the subsidiary level, but are not recorded as an input VAT on a consolidated trust plan level.
Operating lease cost remained at RMB3.2 million (US$0.5 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022.
Other expenses decreased by 50.2% to RMB12.9 million (US$1.9 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to RMB25.9 million for the same period of 2021, such expenses were mainly attributable to decreases in (a) attorney's fees associated with legal proceedings mainly as a result of the Company's business transition to collaboration model, under which relevant attorney fees are borne by sales partners, and (b) the cost related to promoting the collaboration model.
Income tax expense/(benefit) recorded an income tax benefit of RMB0.5 million (US$0.1 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to an income tax benefit of RMB15.7 million for the same period of 2021. One subsidiary turned losses into incomes during the fourth quarter in 2022, resulting in reversal of the full valuation allowance of the deferred tax asset.
Net income/(loss) was a net income of RMB30.5 million (US$4.4 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to a net loss of RMB104.6 million for the same period of 2021.
