SHIJIAZHUANG, CHINA / ACCESSWIRE / April 30, 2018 / Fincera Inc. (''Fincera'' or the ''Company'') (OTCQB: YUANF), a leading provider of web-based financing and ecommerce services for small and medium-sized businesses and individuals in China, today reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Full-year 2017 Financial Highlights
- Income for the year ended December 31, 2017, increased 16.9% to RMB1.0 billion (US$156.7 million) from RMB875.9 million in the prior year.
- Net loss improved to RMB8.4 million (US$1.3 million), from net loss of RMB12.3 million in the prior year.
- Net cash provided by operating activities increased 148.4% to RMB2.1 billion (US$326.6 million) for the year ended December 31, 2017, from RMB859.2 million in the prior year. This increase resulted in a 63.6% improvement in the Company's overall cash position to RMB1.3 billion (US$191.5 million) at the end of 2017, compared to RMB764.8 million at the end of 2016.
Operational Highlights
Loan transaction volume across all loan types for 2017 totaled approximately RMB26.8 billion (US$4.1 billion), compared to approximately RMB24.4 billion in 2016.
CeraPay
CeraPay, launched at the end of 2014, is Fincera's proprietary revolving credit product that processes and settles transactions between its users and merchants. CeraPay users are provided with a credit line that can be utilized at participating CeraPay merchants. Having features like a credit card, there are no fees to users for using the CeraPay payments service as long as any outstanding balances are paid in full each month. Fincera generates revenue from CeraPay primarily by charging transaction fees, which were approximately 2.4%, to merchants participating in the network. Merchants may use CeraPay funds to make payments to other CeraPay users or merchants or cash out the funds via transfer to a bank account. CeraPay users are subject to an application and credit approval process, and provide guarantees and collateral before they are provided a credit line.
Previously, Fincera offered 30-day credit lines and 12-month installment loans via CeraPay and collected transaction service fees from merchants receiving the payment. However, since July 2017, to comply with recent financial regulation, Fincera replaced these products with similar offerings from CeraVest where these loans are instead facilitated by the peer-to-peer lending platform. The transaction fees collected in this new format are then allocated to the investor of the loan as interest payments and to the Company as a facilitation fee.
CeraVest (https://www.qingyidai.com)
Fincera created CeraVest as an online lending marketplace that provides a short-term operating capital platform for small and medium-sized businesses. CeraVest allows lenders to provide loans to borrowers that have been vetted by the Company. CeraVest also provides investors the opportunity to invest in loans facilitated by the CeraPay platform. From its inception in November 2014 through the fourth quarter of 2017, CeraVest originated and facilitated over RMB13.3 billion (US$2.0 billion) in loans.
Currently, lenders may invest in three types of loans on the CeraVest platform: a 30-day line of credit loan with an annualized return of 8.1% if held to maturity, a 180-day term loan with an annualized return of 8.62% if held to maturity, and a 12-month installment loan with an annualized return of 9.02% that returns principal and interest monthly. In addition, lenders may trade all loans on a secondary marketplace offered by CeraVest with pricing provided by the Company. Fincera earns facilitation fees on CeraVest loans.
Previously, Fincera offered 180-day loans with a different transaction process as CeraVest Fixed and offered CeraVest Flex as a highly liquid investment option to its customers. Both products were discontinued in 2017 and replaced with new products to comply with the recent Chinese regulations.
Fincera facilitated RMB5.8 billion (US $890.5 million) in 180-day loans during 2017, compared to RMB4.8 billion in 2016.
Operational Updates
Fincera is pleased to announce that it has made progress with certain corporate initiatives, including:
- Implementing a four-pronged sales channel that consists of company-owned stores, employee-owned stores, franchise stores, and part-time individual sales agents;
- Launching three new products through the CeraVest platform (Qingying, Yueying and Zhongying) and discontinuing certain products (Fixed, Flex and Chuangying) to comply with the latest government regulations; and
- Implementing a fund custody system with XWBank as its custodian for all customer accounts.
Management Commentary
Mr. Yong Hui Li, Chairman and CEO of Fincera, stated, ''We were pleased to close 2017 with strong performance in our loan products, achieving the highest quarterly total loan transaction volume to date of approximately RMB7.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2017. In doing so, we significantly strengthened the Company's overall cash position through the positive cash flow generated through our operations. In our commitment to maintaining compliance with recent government regulations, Fincera made several changes to the products offered through our CeraVest platform in the second half of 2017. Despite these changes, we continued to see steady growth in CeraVest loans facilitated during the period, and as a result, achieved top line improvement of nearly 17% year over year. We continued to invest in the ongoing growth of our internet-based business with an expanded sales channel and new products and partnerships. While these additional operating expenses did impact our bottom line for the year, we anticipate a return to profitability over the next two quarters. We also continued adapting our offline operations and sales processes to changing market environments to further accelerate our top line growth and will have further updates on these improvements over the course of 2018.''

Total income
|
1,023,851 | 100.0 | % | 875,925 | 100.0 | % | 16.9 | % | ||||||||||||
- Total income for the year ended December 31, 2017, increased 16.9% to RMB1.0 billion (US$156.7 million), from RMB875.9 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to growth in the aggregate amount of loans outstanding under the Company's CeraVest product, which was partially offset by a decline in transaction fees from CeraPay due to loan transaction process changes.
- Facilitation fees, which represent upfront fees charged for facilitating loan transactions via our marketplace lending platform, totaled RMB231.7 million (US$35.5 million) in the year ended December 31, 2017. These fees came into existence in July 2017 when Fincera redeveloped its loan transaction process to comply with online lending regulations.
- Interest income, which represents interest earned on CeraVest loans, increased 27.6% to RMB310.3 million (US$47.5 million) in the year ended December 31, 2017, from RMB243.2 million in the prior year, mainly due to an increase in origination fee charge rates and transactions of loan receivables that were issued after the second quarter of 2017. The increment of interest income from new products was offset by a decline in interest income from old products.
- Service charges, which represent CeraPay transaction fees, decreased 55.0% to RMB201.4 million (US$30.8 million) in the year ended December 31, 2017, from RMB447.2 million in the prior year. Since July 2017, CeraPay loan transactions have been facilitated through a revised transaction process through Fincera's peer-to-peer lending platform; as a result, the service charges under the previous transaction process are now allocated as a facilitation fee to the Company and as interest payable to investors of each loan once the facilitation is successful. Thus, service charges have declined drastically in 2017, and the Company anticipates discontinuing reporting this revenue item in future financial reports.
- Property lease and management revenues increased 13.2% to RMB192.2 million (US$29.4 million) in 2017, compared to RMB169.8 million in the prior year. The occupancy rate of the Kaiyuan Finance Center during the year ended December 31, 2017, increased to 78%, compared to 74% during the prior year. Income from the Company's hotel operation at the Kaiyuan Finance Center also increased during the period.
- Other income is mainly comprised of late payment fees (penalty income) from both CeraPay and CeraVest. Other income increased 458.2% to RMB88.2 million (US$13.5 million) in 2017, compared to RMB15.8 million in the prior year due to the strengthening of collection efforts.
Operating Costs and Expenses
- The Company's operating costs and expenses increased 17.6% to RMB1.0 billion (US$158.5 million) in 2017 from RMB880.8 million in the prior year, primarily due to increased interest expense, product development expense, selling and marketing expense, and general and administrative expenses to support the growth of the Company's internet-based business.
Loss from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes
- Loss from continuing operations before income taxes totaled RMB11.6 million (US$1.8 million) in 2017, compared to loss of RMB4.8 million in the prior year, primarily as a result of the increased operating costs and expenses mentioned above.
Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes
- Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, totaled RMB2.3 million (US$0.4 million) in 2017, compared to RMB1.1 million in the prior year. The Company continues the winding down of its legacy truck-leasing business, which is classified as discontinued operations. This income is a result of the collection of overdue traditional leasing receivables, thus reversing the corresponding provision recorded against them on the Company's financial statements.
Net Loss
- Net loss improved to RMB 8.4 million (US$1.3 million) in 2017, from net loss of RMB12.3 million in the prior year.
Balance Sheet Highlights
At December 31, 2017, Fincera's cash and cash equivalents (not including restricted cash) were RMB1.1 billion, compared to RMB722.3 million at December 31, 2016. Total liabilities were RMB6.9 billion and stockholders' equity was negative RMB119.6 million, compared to RMB7.0 billion and RMB157.1 million , respectively, at December 31, 2016. The reduction in stockholders' equity was primarily a result of the US$1.00 per share cash dividend that the Company declared in September 2017.
