Hexindai Reports Unaudited Financial Results for Second Quarter and First Half of Fiscal Year 2020

BEIJING, CHINA, June 12, 2020 — Hexindai Inc. (NASDAQ: HX) (“Hexindai” or the “Company”), a mobile e-commerce and consumer finance platform in China, today announced its unaudited condensed consolidated financial information as of September 30, 2019, and for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Throughout the release, each ADS represents one ordinary share. Fiscal year refers to the 12 months ended March 31.

Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2020 Operational Highlights

·                      Total loan volume facilitated (1) was US$13.8 million (RMB96.5 million) during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, a decrease of 58.0% from the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

·                      Gross billing amount (net of VAT)(2) was US$3.1 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, a decrease of 35.0% from the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

·                      Gross billing ratio (net of VAT)(3) for credit loans was 22.3% during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, an increase from 14.4% during the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

·                      Number of borrowers (4) was 12,254 during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, an increase of 461.3% from the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

·                      Number of investors (5) was 11,283 during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, a decrease of 70.9% from the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2020 Unaudited Financial Highlights

·                      Net revenue was US$4.5 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, an increase of 25.5% from the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

·                      Operating costs and expenses were US$14.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, a decrease of 29.6% from the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

·                      Net loss was US$10.4 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, a decrease of 40.2% compared to US$17.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

(1) Total loan volume facilitated is defined as the total principal amount of loans facilitated on our marketplace and referred to other third-parties during the relevant period. We started to provide recommendation services by referring certain borrowers to financial partners since December 2018.

(2)”Gross billing amount” is defined as the sum of (i) the aggregated loan facilitation fees charged to borrowers before cash incentives, and (ii) the recommendation service fees received from financial partners during the relevant period, net of value added tax. It differs from the revenue recognized at the time of recognition. For traditional individual credit loan transactions, as the loan facilitation service fees are charged upfront upon the release of funds to borrowers, the gross billing amount equals the loan facilitation service revenue. For individual credit loans launched in the third quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, as the service fees are charged each period, the gross billing amount equals the gross accumulative loan facilitation service revenue recognized over the estimated term of the credit loan. For recommendation services, the gross billing amount equals the recommendation service fees.

(3)”Gross billing ratio” is defined as the gross billing amount divided by loan volume facilitated, presented as a percentage. It is an operation metric we believe is a more accurate indicator of profitability.

(4) Refers to borrowers who recorded successful borrowing activity on our online marketplace and referred to other third-parties during the relevant period. We started to provide recommendation services by referring certain borrowers to financial partners since December 2018.

(5) Refers to individual investors who made loan investments on our online marketplace during the relevant period.

·                      Basic loss per ordinary share in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 was US$0.21, compared to US$0.36 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

·                      Diluted loss per ordinary share in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 was US$0.21, compared to US$0.36 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

·                      Adjusted net loss attributable to Hexindai Inc.’s shareholders (Non-GAAP) in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 was US$10.3 million, compared to US$12.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

·                      Adjusted EBIT (Non-GAAP) in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 was (US$8.8) million, compared to (US$12.0) million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

In this month, we are pleased to have received approval and successfully connect our systems with the Credit Reference Center which facilitates the sharing of data, helps solve information asymmetry within the financial industry, prevents borrowers from taking out multiple loans on multiple platforms, and promotes stronger regulatory compliance. In addition, our systems has previously connected to Baihang Credit, the first credit bureau that was granted an individual credit checking license by Chinese regulators, as well as the Real-time Monitoring System from the National Internet Emergency Response Center, which we believe will ideally position us to navigate the current challenging market environment and continue to grow our diverse business for the long-term.”

“We also launched a new membership-based social e-commerce mobile platform which will accelerate us in business transformation. We are looking to leverage our years of experience in consumer finance to develop self-operated e-commerce and social e-commerce businesses in the future that cater to Chinese consumers’ varied consumption needs, which we believe creates new growth drivers to support our business and strengthens our position to navigate the rapid changes taking place in the fintech sector. We have been leveraging our strong operational expertise and solid risk management capabilities to navigate the impact from the outbreak of COVID-19 and are pleased with the progress we have made. The outbreak has impacted the whole industry which has been compounded by macroeconomic uncertainties as it spreads globally. We have postponed some of projects over the past two months to ensure we have ample resources to deploy as we transform our business during this challenging time. We strongly believe in the resilience of China’s economy and remain confident in the enormous growth opportunities it presents consumer finance marketplaces. The aspirations for recovery in the industry will not be overshadowed by the pandemic, but will drive new opportunities for the Company to pursue more expansive business transformation for long-term success.”

Net revenue

Net revenue during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 was US$4.5 million, an increase of 25.5% compared to US$3.6 million during the same quarter of fiscal year 2019.

Operating costs and expenses

Total operating cost and expenses during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 was US$14.8 million, a decrease of 29.6% from US$21.1 million in the same quarter of last fiscal year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in sales and marketing expenses and share-based compensation.

Service and development expenses

Service and development expenses during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 were US$2.22 million, an increase of 2.0% from US$2.18 million during the same quarter of last fiscal year. The increase was mainly due to an increase in employee expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 were US$9.3 million, a decrease of 21.1% from US$11.7 million during the same quarter of last fiscal year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in advertising expenses.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 were US$2.6 million, an increase of 15.8% from US$2.2 million during the same quarter of last fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in professional service fee.

Finance cost

Finance cost during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 were US$0.6 million, compared to nil during the same period of last fiscal year. The increase was mainly due to the interest expenses for senior notes.

Share-based compensation

Share-based compensation during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 was US$0.1 million, compared to US$4.9 million in the same period of last fiscal year. The decrease was mainly due to part of the awards granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan has fully vested.

Net loss attributable to Hexindai Inc.’s shareholders and (loss) earnings per ordinary share

Net loss attributable to the Company’s shareholders was US$10.4 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, compared to US$17.4 million in the same period of fiscal year 2019. Accordingly, basic loss per ordinary share in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 was US$0.21, compared to US$0.36 in the same period of fiscal year 2019.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2019 Unaudited Financial Results

Net revenue

Net revenue during the six months ended September 30, 2019 was US$9.5 million, a decrease of 82.9% from US$55.3 million during the same period of last fiscal year. The decrease was primarily due to the significant decrease in the volume of credit loans facilitated through Hexindai’s marketplace, which decreased from US$481.2 million (RMB3.2 billion) during the six months ended September 30, 2018 to US$41.8 million (RMB0.3 billion) in the same period of this fiscal year. The decrease in the volume of credit loans facilitated through the Company’s marketplace was primarily due to (i) the reduction in the amount of investment available for credit loans resulting from tightened industry regulation causing the suspension or shut down of some peers, which negatively impacted investors’ sentiment and confidence across the industry, and (ii) the decline in the number of borrowers due to the Company’s application of stricter internal control, including credit background investigations with heightened diligence and cooperation with third-party credit reporting agencies to further develop the Company’s credit check system. Since the Company derives its revenue mainly from charging service fees from borrowers after successful facilitation of loans, the decline in both the amount of investment and the number of borrowers resulted in the decrease in revenue during the six months ended September 30, 2019.

Operating costs and expenses

Total operating cost and expenses during the six months ended September 30, 2019 were US$27.5 million, a decrease of 25.1% from US$36.6 million in six months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to decrease in sales and marketing expenses and share-based compensation.

Service and development expenses

Service and development expenses during the six months ended September 30, 2019 were US$4.2 million, an increase of 17.5% from US$3.5 million during the same period of last fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to the increase in employee expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expense during the six months ended September 30, 2019 were US$16.8 million, a decrease of 28.3% from US$23.4 million during the same period of last fiscal year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in advertising expenses.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses during the six months ended September 30, 2019 were US$4.9 million, an increase of 8.2% from US$4.6 million during the same period of last year. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in professional service fees.

Share-based compensation

Share-based compensation during the six months ended September 30, 2019 was US$0.3 million, decreased from US$5.1 million during the same period of last fiscal year. The decrease was mainly due to part of the awards granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan has fully vested.

Net loss(income)

As a result of the foregoing, the net loss during the six months ended September 30, 2019 was US$17.6 million, compared with a net income of US$12.3 million during the same period of last fiscal year.

Net (loss )income attributable to Hexindai Inc.’s shareholders and (loss) earnings per ordinary share

Net loss attributable to the Company’s shareholders during the six months ended September 30, 2019 was US$17.6 million, compared to net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders of US$12.3 million in the same period of last fiscal year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We used adjusted net (loss) income, adjusted (loss) earnings per ordinary share and adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. “Adjusted net (loss) income” is net (loss) income before share-based compensation expenses. “Adjusted EBIT” is earnings before interest, income taxes and share-based compensation. We believed that the adjusted net (loss) income, adjusted (loss) earnings per ordinary share and adjusted EBIT provided useful information about our 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 its financial and operational decision-making.

The non-GAAP measures were not defined under US GAAP and were not presented in accordance with US GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures had limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, cash flows or our liquidity, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for net income(loss), cash flows provided by operating activities or other consolidated statements of operation and cash flow data prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

We mitigate these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable US GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.

For more information on this non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP measures” set forth at the end of this press release.

Exchange Rate Information

Our business was conducted in China, and our financial records were maintained in RMB, our functional currency. However, we used the U.S. dollar as our reporting currency; therefore, periodic reports made to shareholders will include current period amounts translated into U.S. dollars using the then-current exchange rates, for the convenience of the readers. The financial information was prepared in RMB and then translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board as to assets and liabilities, and average exchange rates as to revenue and expenses. Capital accounts were translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments were included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income(loss) in shareholders’ equity. We make no representation that any RMB or U.S. dollar amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars or RMB, as the case may be, at any particular rate, or at all. The PRC government imposes control over its foreign currency reserves in part through direct regulation of the conversion of RMB into foreign exchange and through restrictions on foreign trade.

Recent Developments

Considering the regulatory environment and its impact on the online lending information intermediaries, the Company ceased to offer new loans for online investors’ subscription since November 2019. We are still in the process of applying for an online microcredit company license in China and refining our business model to identify business opportunities that could complement our existing business.

To further diversify our business, in July 2019, Hexindai entered into a business development agreement with a third-party vender for the purpose of expanding its loan recommendation service in the consumer financing market. Due to changes in market dynamics, both parties executed an amendment in November 2019 with the intention of establishing an e-commence online trading marketplace. In connection with the original agreement and subsequent amendment (the “Transactions”), a deposit of approximately US$30.9 million was paid to the counter party. The Transactions were reported to the Board afterwards in late November 2019. After reviewing the Transactions, the Board concluded that it is in the best interest for the Company to terminate the business cooperation with the vender in order to avoid significant expenditures and reduce uncertainties associated with the related business development. Meantime, an independent law firm was engaged by the Company’s Audit Committee to assess the independence of the counter party in the Transactions. The law firm’s assessment report concluded the counter party in the Transactions is not related to the Company. The Company therefore decided to terminate the agreement at the end of November 2019. Due to business disruption caused by COVID-19 pandemic, the Company, through a series of negotiations, finally entered a termination agreement with the vender on April 8, 2020. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company terminated the Transactions with the vender. For the deposit made by the Company, the vender agreed to refund approximately US$ 15.5 million by May 2020 and the remaining balance shall be refunded on monthly basis in next two years with annual interest charge of 2%. The repayment by the counterparty is guaranteed by a licensed guarantee company in the PRC with registered capital of approximately US$ 142.9 million. As of September 30, 2019, the Company’s payment of approximately US$30.9 million was presented as long-term deposit in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of Sept 30, 2019 due to the long-term nature of the agreement. The third party vendor has refunded approximately $15.5million (or approximately 49% of the Company’s deposit) by May 30, 2020.

In May 2020, Hexindai launched Xiaobai Maimai, a membership-based social e-commerce mobile platform (the “Platform”) offering high-quality and affordable branded products The Platform will leverage the Company’s integrated buyer resources to select and source goods globally, and deploy a membership rating system that rewards users with a commission for every purchase, share or recommendation of a product made to friends. Such social e-commerce model is designed to benefit customers with commissions for shopping and sharing products and help reduce our marketing expenses, which will position the Company to further drive the transformation of business and support sustainable growth going forward.

In June 2020, Hexindai connected its credit business assets database and begun sharing credit data with the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) Credit Reference Center, the central bank’s directly administered credit information agency. The connection to the Credit Reference Center will help to increase penalties for credit defaulters, expanded the crack down on malicious defaults, and strengthened investor protection.
