In Q4 2025, XFCL strategically reduced loan origination by 29.5% YoY to 22.77 billion RMB, prioritizing credit quality. This, alongside a 14.1% YoY drop in net revenue to 1.47 billion RMB, reflects disciplined risk management. Despite 1.69 million active borrowers, a 20.2% YoY decline, credit quality faced pressure with delinquency rates rising. The company tightened underwriting, enhanced collections, and adjusted capital deployment. Regulatory tightening in China's internet lending sector, including borrowing cost caps and whitelist management, poses challenges. Despite these pressures, XFCL maintained profitability, albeit at lower levels, with a solid balance sheet featuring 14.667 billion RMB in total assets and 7.84 billion RMB in shareholder's equity.

Q：What was the impact of regulatory changes, particularly Notice 9, on the company's operating results?

The implementation of a 24% annum ceiling on total borrowing cost has affected the company's operating results adversely and materially.

A：Income from operations was 20.2 million RMB, or 2.9 million U.S. dollars, resulting in a 96.2 percent decrease year over year and a 94.4 percent decrease sequentially. This decline significantly impacted the company's profitability, as evidenced by the near-term credit pressure highlighted in the quarter.
Q：What share repurchase program was in effect, and how much was remaining under it as of the discussion date?
