Capital returns

  • On July 2, 2026, the board of directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to 10% of total issued and outstanding ordinary shares and/or ADSs for an aggregate amount of up to US$20.0 million over the following 12 months.
  • The Board is evaluating cash dividend payments and/or the recently announced share repurchase program.

What drove it

  • Credit solution business revenue accounted for 87% of total net revenue in the second quarter of 2026.
  • The company cited lower borrower all-in financing cost limits and more stringent funding-partner requirements relating to pricing and risk-adjusted returns under the revised online loan facilitation framework.
  • Repeat borrowers’ loan amount accounted for 82% of total loans facilitated, compared with 78% in the first quarter of 2026 and 77% in the same period of 2025.
  • Insurance client growth and new policy growth were 281% and 177% year over year, respectively.
  • The autonomous resolution rate of text-based agents in customer operations increased from approximately 60% to nearly 80%, and automated quality inspection covered more than two million service records daily.
  • The Hawkeye fraud detection system and DiTing multimodal verification engine helped avoid approximately RMB165 million (US$23 million) in potential fraud-related losses during 2025.

Concerns

  • Allowance for contract assets, receivables and others increased to RMB502.8 million from RMB176.4 million in the first quarter of 2026, driven by a provision for credit loss on certain related-party loan receivables and higher expected credit loss allowances on longer aging accounts receivable.
  • The company reported a RMB97.8 million fair value adjustments loss, attributable primarily to declines in the market value of digital assets and related investments.
  • Insurance brokerage revenue decreased 23% sequentially due to lower estimated renewal rates for certain internet insurance products and the resulting existing-portfolio revenue adjustment.
  • Cash and cash equivalents decreased to RMB1,696.7 million from RMB2,453.1 million as of March 31, 2026.

What to watch

  • Loan facilitation volume and the effect of revised online loan facilitation requirements on credit solution revenue.
  • Collection of related-party loan receivables and expected credit loss allowances on longer aging accounts receivable.
  • Whether lower expected net charge-off rates for newly originated loans and updated credit assessments continue to reduce contingent-liability provisions.
  • Insurance renewal rates for internet insurance products and conversion of strong client and policy growth into revenue.
  • Operating cash flow, prepayments for collection, system support and marketing services, and indemnity payments under the risk-taking model.
  • Execution of the US$20.0 million share repurchase program and the proposed acquisition targeted to close during 2026, subject to regulatory approval.

Analysis

Yiren Digital's second-quarter results show a substantially smaller credit business under a more restrictive operating approach. Total net revenue was RMB890.0 million, down 46% year over year and 3% sequentially. Credit solution revenue fell 48% year over year to RMB777.6 million, alongside a 69% decline in loans facilitated and a 52% decline in the outstanding balance of performing loans facilitated. The company attributed the contraction to revised online loan facilitation requirements and its decision to prioritize portfolio quality and risk-adjusted returns.

The portfolio mix and delinquency data improved in areas management emphasized. Repeat borrowers accounted for 82% of total loans facilitated, above 78% in the first quarter and 77% a year earlier. The 31-60 day delinquency rate improved to 2.0% from 2.7% at March 31, 2026, and the 61-90 day rate improved to 2.4% from 3.2%. Provision for contingent liabilities declined 63% sequentially to RMB233.3 million, which the company linked to lower risk-taking-model volume, updated credit assessments, and lower expected net charge-off rates on newly originated loans.

Those credit improvements did not prevent a large loss because receivable and contract-asset impairments increased sharply. Allowance for contract assets, receivables and others rose to RMB502.8 million from RMB176.4 million in the preceding quarter, reflecting a credit-loss provision on certain related-party loan receivables and higher expected credit loss allowances on longer aging accounts receivable. The company also recorded a RMB97.8 million fair value adjustments loss. Net loss was RMB449.6 million, following a RMB494.7 million net loss in the first quarter and net income of RMB357.5 million a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA was a RMB340.7 million loss and its margin was -38.3%.

Insurance produced a contrasting operating picture. Insurance brokerage revenue increased 16% year over year to RMB67.3 million, while insurance clients increased 281% and new insurance policies increased 177%. However, segment revenue declined 23% sequentially because of lower estimated renewal rates for certain internet insurance products and the related existing-portfolio revenue adjustment. Gross written premiums were RMB838.9 million, up 2% sequentially but down 1% year over year.

Cash flow and liquidity require attention. Operating cash outflow was RMB1,029.1 million, compared with RMB655.6 million used in the first quarter and RMB411.2 million generated a year earlier. Cash and cash equivalents declined to RMB1,696.7 million from RMB2,453.1 million at March 31, 2026, while financial investments declined to RMB252.0 million from RMB507.5 million. Investing activities supplied RMB454.0 million of cash, but financing activities used RMB469.9 million. The board authorized a repurchase program of up to US$20.0 million, while management gave no financial outlook.

Management, verbatim

During the second quarter of 2026, we maintained a disciplined approach to our credit solution business, prioritizing portfolio quality and risk-adjusted returns while moderating near-term loan facilitation volume.

Mr. Ning Tang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yiren Digital

Questions about YRD earnings dates

When is Yiren Digital's next earnings date?
AlphAI has no confirmed date for YRD yet. We publish an earnings date only once the company has set it, so this page shows one the day that happens.
Where does the date come from, and why is there no estimate?
A confirmed date comes from the company's own announcement. Many sites fill the gap by adding about 91 days to the last report, but that arithmetic is a guess, and a wrong date costs a reader more than a missing one, so AlphAI shows nothing until the company confirms. Every quarter already on this page is read straight from the SEC filing: an 8-K item 2.02 for US filers, a 6-K earnings release for foreign private issuers.
