It is now my pleasure to introduce Mr. Kan Li. Mr. Kan Li, please go ahead. Hello, everyone. We are pleased with our performance this past quarter, given the great challenges posed by the significant economic slowdown and with the escalation of COVID-19 containment measures in China. We continue to scale up our loan facilitation volume while improving asset quality quarter- over- quarter. Total loans facilitated and provided during the past quarter maintained a steady growth on both a yearly and quarterly basis, exceeding the high end of our forecast. Thanks to our effective risk management system and premium borrower base, we saw a meaningful decrease in the delinquency rate from the previous quarter. We have further demonstrated our business resilience and ability to navigate tough conditions. During the second quarter, our total loan amount facilitated and provided reached RMB 17 billion, representing an increase of 32% year-over-year and 11% quarter-over-quarter. The delinquency rate for all outstanding loans past due for 31-60 days as of June 30th, 2022, decreased to 0.93% from 1.31% as of March 31st, 2022. While the asset quality of the financial industry as a whole deteriorated during the quarter due to the macro headwinds, we managed to improve our asset quality as we continue to enhance our risk management system. We expect our asset quality to remain stable in the second half of the year. During the past quarter, we stepped up our efforts to acquire more high-quality borrowers. As a result, our number of active borrowers increased to 22% on both a yearly and a quarterly basis, and reached a high level of over RMB 1 million in this quarter. We are pleased to see that our products and services have been well received by an extensive and a growing user base. This is a testament to our reputation for reliability, and it has laid a solid foundation for our future growth. Going forward, we will continue to expand and deepen our cooperation with our institutional funding partners to jointly serve the diverse financial needs of small and micro businesses and consumers in China. On the regulatory side, the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission issued a notice on strengthening the management of commercial banks internet loan business to improve the quality and efficiency of financial services on July 15th, 2022. The new rules affirm the positive role of internet loans, further refine and clarify the requirements for internet loan management and extend the grace period for re-rectification of internet loan operations to June 2023 from July 2022. This initiative aims to promote the stable and fair development of the internet loan business, and it is part of the government's stimulus strategy to revive the pandemic-hit economy by encouraging more credit to stimulate investment and consumption. This is conducive to the overall development of the financial industry, and the extended grace period also gives us more time to explore market opportunities under the new regulation, especially financial services for small and micro businesses. Looking ahead, with the COVID-19 pandemic subsiding and the macro economy gradually rebounding, we are cautiously optimistic about our business in the second half of the year. With an increasingly accommodative environment, we expect to see steady sequential growth in upcoming quarters. Now, I will turn the call over to Frank, who will go through our financials. Thank you, Kan, and hello everyone. Although our top line saw a slight decrease on the quarterly basis, as we continue to reduce the total borrowing cost of the borrowers in line with the government guidance, we improved our bottom line from the previous quarter. Net income for the second quarter of 2022 improved to RMB 186 million from RMB 140 million in the previous quarter. The non-GAAP adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2022 was RMB 211 million, representing an increase of 37% quarter-over-quarter, with a more stabilized macro economy and a clear regulatory environment. We expect to see further improvement in financial performance in the future. During the second quarter, we started to execute our share repurchase program. Going forward, we will continue to keep a close eye on market dynamics. Regularly reevaluate how to best use our cash in order to maximize return for our shareholders. Now I would like to brief on some financial performance for the second quarter. Please note that all numbers stated are in RMB and are rounded up. Total net revenue decreased by 12% to RMB 824 million from RMB 932 million in the same period of 2021. Primarily due to a decrease in average total borrowing cost of borrowers, and also partially offset by increase in the total loan amount facilitated and provided this quarter compared with the same period of 2021. Origination and servicing expenses increased by 2% to RMB 533 million from RMB 521 million in the same period of 2021. Primarily due to an increase in the commission fees resulting from the increase in total loan amount facilitated and provided this quarter. Partially offset by an increase in insurance fee paid to the insurance company. Provisions for accounts receivable and the contract assets was RMB 26 million, compared with RMB 25 million in the same period of 2021. Primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable from facilitation services as a result of the increase in the total loan facilitation amount this quarter compared with the same period of 2021. Provisions for the loan receivable was RMB 32 million, compared with the reversal of the provision for the loan receivable of RMB 1 million in the same period of 2021. Primarily due to an increase in loans receivable held by the company as a result of the increase in total loan amount facilitated and provided this quarter, compared with the same period of 2021. Income from operations was RMB 194 million, compared with RMB 338 million in the same period of 2021. Net income was RMB 186 million, compared with RMB 223 million in the same period of 2021. Non-GAAP adjusted net income was RMB 211 million, compared with RMB 242 million in the same period of 2021. For further financial information, please refer to the earnings release on our website. Regarding our share repurchase program. On March 30, 2022, we announced that our board had approved a share repurchase plan under which the company may repurchase up to $50 million worth of its Class A ordinary share in the form of ADS until September 2023. As of end of June 2022, we had repurchased about 174,000 ADS. Now for our business outlook. We expect total loan amount facilitated and provided for the third quarter of 2022 to be between RMB 19 billion and RMB 20 billion. For the full year of 2022, we expect an increment in the total loan amount facilitated and provided to be no less than 25%. This forecast reflects our current and preliminary views, which are subject to change. Now, this concludes our prepared remarks, and I would like to open the call to questions. Operator, please. Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. To ask a question, you may press star then one on your touch-tone phone. If you are using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. If at any time your question has been addressed and you would like to withdraw your question, please press star then two. At this time, we will pause momentarily to assemble our roster. Our first question comes from Mason Bourne with AWH Capital. Please go ahead. Good evening. Thanks for taking the questions. I guess to start, given your commentary and outlook, it seems like you're a little more positive about the regulatory backdrop. Could you talk about what's driving that? Okay. I'll take this one. Uh- I think it's more Frank, I'll take this one. I'll take the next one. Yes. I think it's probably more of our assessment of the current environment rather than the regulatory changes. As you know, because of the COVID-19 impact. I think it's more of the COVID-19 measures impact on the Chinese economy. Right now there is just a lot of demand for granting loans. I think right now we are just in a very good position to take advantage of our premium customer clientele. During the past three quarters that we have accumulated enough premium customers. In the second half of this year, I think we are going to benefit from our previous investment. That is why we can increase our scale. Okay. It sounds like demand is strong. How about the funding side of things? Are you seeing maybe some easing of conditions that's allowed you to lower your funding rate? We do see some lowering on the funding rate. I think this is more our assessment and this probably will be temporary in the short term, but at least like for the second half of the year, it's gonna continue. Our forecast is based on this assessment. Okay. Thanks. Lastly, I think your tangible book value is around RMB 11.40 per share. What are your thoughts on the buyback? I know you did some in the quarter, but do you view this as an opportunity to attractively buy back shares at a discount? Yeah. That question I'm gonna leave that to our CFO, Frank. Okay. Last open window we bought, as we stated, I bought about 174,000 shares, something like that. Because our shares trade very thinly, so we actually maximize the order allowed, you know, and the relevant rules for the buyback. We will continue to do that. We will explore other ways to buy more share if the opportunities arise. Great. Thanks. Again, if you have a question, please press star then one. Please hold. This concludes our question and answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to Tanya Wen for any closing remarks. Please go ahead. Thank you everyone for joining us on the call today. If you haven't got a chance to raise your questions, we will be pleased to answer them through follow-up contacts. We look forward to speaking with you again in the near future. Thank you. The conference is now concluded. Thank you for your attendance.
