Key Points
- Risk metrics improved in Q2, with C-M2 ratio declining 17% sequentially to 0.66% and 30-day collection rate rising to 88.1%.

- Tech solutions business showed strong growth, with loan volume up 515% year-over-year and outstanding balance up 313%.
- Customer acquisition costs fell sharply due to reduced industry competition, allowing for more efficient spending.
- Provision coverage ratio strengthened to 472%, providing a robust buffer against potential credit losses.

- A one-off tax-related expense of approximately RMB500 million inflated the effective tax rate to 60.3% in Q2.
- Industry-wide liquidity squeeze and regulatory crackdown on collections have led to a sharp rise in C-M2 in August, with expectations of continued deterioration for two to three quarters.
- Funding costs are expected to increase in the second half of 2026, with external funding costs already up 25 basis points in July and August.
