FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto set forth in this offering memorandum, and the section titled “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our 2018 Annual Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto set forth in such annual report. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk factors” or in other parts of this offering memorandum.

Overview

As a provider of online credit products, we use big data-enabled technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, to transform the consumer finance experience in China. We target hundreds of millions of quality, unserved or underserved consumers in China. They are young, mobile-active consumers who need access to small credit for their discretionary spending, but are underserved by traditional financial institutions due to their lack of traditional credit data and the operational inefficiency of traditional financial institutions. We believe our operating efficiency and big data analytics capability to understand our prospective borrowers from different behavioral and transactional perspectives, assess their credit profiles and offer them instantaneous and affordable credit products with customized terms distinguishes our business and offerings.

We mainly offer small credit products, which are comprised of cash credit products and merchandise credit products. We mainly generate (i) financing income and loan facilitation income and others from cash credit products and (ii) financing income, sales commission fee and loan facilitation income and others from merchandise credit products. In addition to small credit products, we also offer traffic referral service for other financial service providers and transaction referral service for licensed financial institutions. We generate referral service fee from such traffic and transaction referral services we provide on the open platform, and we do not bear credit risk for such services. As of March 31, 2019, we have referred (i) approximately 2.5 million users to financial service providers that signed up for our traffic referral service and (ii) 136.6 thousands borrowers for loans provided by licensed financial institutions that signed up for our transaction referral service. As of March 31, 2019, the cumulative amount of transactions referred by us reached approximately RMB1.8 billion. We historically offered budget auto financing products, from which we generated financing income, sales income and loan facilitation income and others. We have started to wind down our budget auto financing business in the second quarter of 2019 to focus on our core consumer finance business.

We are a leading provider of online small consumer credit products in China. We successfully reached over one million quarterly active users in 2016 and continued to engage more active users. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, we facilitated approximately RMB17.1 billion (US$2.5 billion) in transactions, and we had a cumulative number of borrowers of 17.2 million as of March 31, 2019. Small credit products serve consumers’ immediate needs for discretionary consumption. They typically have short durations, enabling us to quickly understand a borrower’s behavior and further refine our data analytics and credit assessment model upon the completion of transaction cycles. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we processed an average of 34 thousand transactions (including both credit drawdowns and repayments) per hour. Since the inception of our business, we have accumulated over 185 million transactions.

We have experienced robust credit performance. Our vintagecharge-off rate for transactions in every three-month period since January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018 (which is the latest vintage to which ourcharge-off policy was applicable as of March 31, 2019) was less than 1.9% as of March 31, 2019.

We have achieved significant scale and experienced strong growth in our results of operations. Our total revenues increased from RMB4,775.4 million in 2017 to RMB7,692.3 million (US$1,146.2 million) in 2018, and grew from RMB1,716.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 to RMB2,096.9 million (US$312.4 million) in the same period in 2019. We recorded net income of RMB2,164.5 million, RMB2,491.3 million (US$371.2 million) and RMB949.6 million (US$141.5 million) in 2017 and 2018 and the three months ended March 31, 2019, respectively.

Credit Performance

The credit performance of the transactions we facilitate affects our financial condition and results of operations. We monitor the credit performance measured by vintagecharge-off rate and M1+ delinquency rate by vintage.

The following chart displays vintagecharge-off rate for the quarters indicated. “Vintagecharge-off rate” refers to, with respect toon- andoff-balance sheet transactions of a certain vintage, the total outstanding principal balance of credit drawdowns that are charged off as of a specified time, divided by the total initial principal of the credit drawdowns facilitated in such vintage.

The following chart displays the historical lifetime cumulative M1+ delinquency rate by vintage from the second month after credit drawdowns up to the twelfth month after such transactions for all transactions for each of the quarters indicated, without taking into account charge-offs:

As of March 31, 2019, our M1+ delinquency coverage ratio was 1.2x.

Our User Engagement and Funding Sources

We have experienced significant growth in the number of borrowers since inception. The table below sets forth a number of key metrics relating to user engagement we regularly review to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions:

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

Total Revenue.Our total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased by 22.2% to RMB2,096.9 million (US$312.4 million) from RMB1,716.6 million in the same period in 2018, primarily due to an increase in loan facilitation income and others and an increase in financing income, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from sales income as we scaled back the operation of our Dabai Auto business. Financing income increased by 30.1% to RMB1,010.8 million (US$150.6 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from RMB776.7 million in the same period in 2018, primarily due to an increase in the volume ofon-balance sheet transactions. Loan facilitation income and others increased to RMB644.4 million (US$96.0 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2019, increased by 132.2% from RMB277.6 million in the same period in 2018, as a result of the substantial increase in the volume ofoff-balance sheet transactions. We started recognizing referral service fee generated from our loan recommendation and referral services on our open platform as a separate line item in the first quarter of 2019. Such service fee was recognized under loan facilitation income and others in 2018. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, our referral service fee totaled RMB158.7 million (US$23.7 million). Sales commission fee increased by 22.0% to RMB135.9 million (US$20.2 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from RMB111.4 million in the same period in 2018, as a result of an increase in gross merchandise value. Sales income substantially decreased to RMB137.0 million (US$20.4 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from RMB546.0 million in the same period in 2018 as we scaled back the operation of our Dabai Auto business.

• Cost of revenues.Our cost of revenues substantially decreased by 62.1% to RMB260.5 million (US$38.8 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from RMB686.4 million in the same period in 2018, primarily due to a decrease in costs incurred by the Dabai Auto business and a decrease in funding costs associated with our core online consumer finance businesses. After excluding cost of revenues related to Dabai Auto business, our cost of revenues represented 18%, 9%, 11% and 6% of our total revenues in 2017 and 2018 and the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

• Sales and marketing expenses.Our sales and marketing expenses decreased by 35.0% to RMB79.9 million (US$11.9 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from RMB122.9 million in the same period in 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in marketing expenses associated with the scale-back of the Dabai Auto business.

The increase was primarily attributable an increase in staff salary and third-party service fees, partially offset by a decrease in administrative fees payable to trust companies due to decreased use of trust funding in this quarter.

• Research and development expenses.Our research and development expenses increased by 45.9% to RMB63.5 million (US$9.5 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from RMB43.5 million in the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily as a result of an increase in staff salary.

In January, February and March 2019, Xiamen Qudian, our consolidated VIE, entered into three term loans with China Construction Bank with an aggregate amount of RMB295.0 million (US$44.0 million). Each term loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.915% per annum and a term of 12 months. As a collateral for such borrowings, our subsidiary Qufengqi (HK) Limited has deposited US$50.2 million in a bank account designated by China Construction Bank.

We believe that the cash we received from our initial public offering and the anticipated cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business for the next 12 months. We may, however, need additional cash resources in the future if we experience changes in business conditions or other developments, or if we find and wish to pursue opportunities for investment, acquisition, capital expenditure or similar actions. If we determine that our cash requirements exceed the amount of cash and cash equivalents we have on hand at the time, we may seek to issue equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities. The issuance and sale of additional equity would result in further dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business and Our Industry — We may need additional capital to pursue business objectives and respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances, and financing may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.”

Holding Company Structure

Qudian Inc. is a holding company with no material operations of its own. We conduct our operations primarily through our subsidiary, consolidated VIEs and their subsidiaries in China. As a result, Qudian Inc.’s ability to pay dividends or to meet its monetary obligations depends upon dividends paid by our PRC subsidiary. If our existing PRC subsidiary or any newly formed ones incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing their debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us. In addition, our wholly foreign-owned subsidiary in China is permitted to pay dividends to us only out of its retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Under PRC law, each of our subsidiary, our consolidated VIEs and their subsidiaries in China is required to set aside at least 10% of itsafter-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of its registered capital. In addition, our wholly foreign-owned subsidiary in China may allocate a portion of itsafter-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to enterprise expansion funds and staff bonus and welfare funds at its discretion, and our consolidated VIEs and their subsidiaries may allocate a portion of itsafter-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to a discretionary surplus fund at their discretion. The statutory reserve funds and the discretionary funds are not distributable as cash dividends. Remittance of dividends by a wholly foreign-owned company out of China is subject to examination by the banks designated by SAFE. Our PRC subsidiary has not paid dividends and will not be able to pay dividends until they generate accumulated profits and meet the requirements for statutory reserve funds.
