"Our net loss for the third quarter was RMB1,494 million, compared to RMB380 million in the same period of 2025," said Ms. Jia Liu, Chief Financial Officer of Lufax. "The increase reflected higher credit impairment losses and additional income tax expenses, primarily due to a reduction of deferred tax assets and recognition of additional withholding taxes in connection with the satisfaction of the funding needs of our Company and its overseas subsidiaries through dividend distribution from domestic subsidiaries. This was partially offset by continued cost discipline, with expenses excluding credit impairment losses, finance costs and other gains or losses down by 13.4% year over year. We remain focused on disciplined execution, strengthening our governance and controls, and building a sustainable, higher-quality growth path for Lufax."

• Technology platform-based income was RMB1,055 million (US$157 million) in the third quarter of 2026, compared to RMB1,390 million in the same period of 2025, representing a decrease of 24.1%. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease of retail credit and enablement service fees as a result of the decrease in the new loan sales and outstanding balance of off-balance sheet loans.
• Net interest income was RMB3,677 million (US$548 million) in the third quarter of 2026, compared to RMB3,334 million in the same period of 2025, representing an increase of 10.3%, mainly due to the expansion of our consumer finance and microloan lending business.
• Guarantee income was RMB1,020 million (US$152 million) in the third quarter of 2026, compared to RMB1,353 million in the same period of 2025, representing a decrease of 24.6%, primarily attributable to a decrease in the average balance of off-balance sheet loans and average fee rates.
• Other income was RMB167 million (US$25 million) in the third quarter of 2026, compared to other income of RMB268 million in the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in account management fees caused by decreased collections in the third quarter of 2026.
• Investment income was RMB261 million (US$39 million) in the third quarter of 2026, compared to RMB134 million in the same period of 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to the impact of changes in the valuations of certain assets.

TOTAL EXPENSES

Total expenses increased by 1.7% to RMB6,901 million (US$1,029 million) in the third quarter of 2026 from RMB6,785 million in the same period of 2025. This increase was mainly due to the increase in credit impairment losses by 10.3% to RMB4,511 million (US$673 million) in the third quarter of 2026 from RMB4,089 million in the same period of 2025, partially offset by the decrease in sales and marketing expenses by 13.7% to RMB842 million (US$126 million) in the third quarter of 2026 from RMB976 million in the same period of 2025 and the decrease in operation and servicing expenses by 16.1% to RMB774 million (US$115 million) in the third quarter of 2026 from RMB922 million in the same period of 2025.

• Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 13.7% to RMB842 million (US$126 million) in the third quarter of 2026 from RMB976 million in the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decreased outstanding balance of off-balance sheet loans.
• General and administrative expenses decreased by 12.1% to RMB420 million (US$63 million) in the third quarter of 2026 from RMB478 million in the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to our continuous expense optimization and control measures.
• Operation and servicing expenses decreased by 16.1% to RMB774 million (US$115 million) in the third quarter of 2026 from RMB922 million in the same period of 2025, primarily due to our expense control measures and the decrease in the loan balance.
• Technology and analytics expenses decreased by 4.2% to RMB226 million (US$34 million) in the third quarter of 2026 from RMB236 million in the same period of 2025, primarily due to expense control measures we adopted.
• Credit impairment losses increased by 10.3% to RMB4,511 million (US$673 million) in the third quarter of 2026 from RMB4,089 million in the same period of 2025, primarily due to the increase in the actual losses and provision of loans and receivables.
• Finance costs increased by 67.1% to RMB122 million (US$18 million) in the third quarter of 2026 from RMB73 million in the same period of 2025, mainly due to the decrease in deposit interest income, partially offset by the decrease in loan interest expenses.
• Other losses were RMB5 million (US$1 million) in the third quarter of 2026, compared to other losses of RMB10 million in the same period of 2025. The change was primarily due to the combined effects of the increase in foreign exchange gains in 2026 and a decrease in government subsidies.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expenses increased by 946.5% from RMB74 million in the third quarter of 2025  to RMB773 million (US$115 million) in the third quarter of 2026. The increase was primarily due to the recognized additional tax expenses resulting from the reduction of deferred tax assets, based on the Company's current assessment of the overall business operation and financial performance of the certain subsidiary of the Company, and additional withholding tax recognized in the third quarter of 2026.

NET LOSS

Net loss was RMB1,494 million (US$223 million) in the third quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of RMB380 million in the same period of 2025, as a result of the aforementioned factors.
