LexinFintech (NASDAQ:LX) Releases Quarterly Earnings Results

LexinFintech (NASDAQ:LX) released its quarterly earnings results on Monday. The company reported $0.11 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, FiscalAI reports. The company had revenue of $469.71 million for the quarter. LexinFintech had a net margin of 7.94% and a return on equity of 8.66%.

Here are the key takeaways from LexinFintech’s conference call:

• Industry funding and credit risks worsened: Risk events involving peers triggered sector-wide funding tightening, sharply reducing Lexin’s loan originations. Management expects delinquency ratios and credit costs to rise further in the third quarter.
• Third-quarter net loss expected: Lower loan volumes, higher provisioning, and one-time severance costs from organizational streamlining are expected to pressure results, with management forecasting a net loss in Q3 and providing no full-year guidance.
• Cost reductions and AI adoption are accelerating: Q2 operating expenses fell 17.6% sequentially, while management expects management costs to decline by 30%–40% and anticipates additional savings from more than 100 AI agents deployed across operations.
• Business diversification is progressing: Fintech empowerment loan volume grew 8% and, together with e-commerce, represented 45% of total volume. E-commerce net revenue rose to CNY 329 million, with gross margin improving to 14.1%, and management expects both businesses to support the transformation toward a capital-light model.
• Dividend timing was reduced: Lexin shifted from semiannual to annual dividend distributions, with any 2026 dividend to be assessed alongside 2026 results in early 2027 as the company preserves liquidity for its transformation.
