Pintec Files Its Annual Report on Form 20-F With Adjustments to Its Financial Results

 

BEIJING, July 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pintec Technology Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: PT) (“PINTEC” or the “Company”), a leading independent technology platform enabling financial services in China, today announced that it filed its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 30, 2019, Eastern Time.

 

Certain adjustments were made in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, subsequent to the release of the full year 2018 unaudited annual results in March 2019.

 

In May 2019, the Company waived the interests accrued on a loan to a third party after the third party repaid the outstanding loan principal in full. As a result, the following items in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss)/income statement for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 were adjusted:

 

		Pre-adjustment				Post-adjustment
		RMB		US$		RMB		US$
		(in thousands)
Share of loss from equity method investments		(2,967	)	(432	)	(2,652	)	(386	)
Other income, net		14,317		2,082		8,822		1,283
Income before income tax expenses		13,059		1,899		7,880		1,146
Net income		7,350		1,068		2,171		315
Total comprehensive income		37,523		5,456		32,344		4,703
Non-GAAP adjusted net income		138,610		20,159		133,431		19,406

 

Due to the Company’s reclassification of certain items according to their nature, the following items in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 were adjusted:

 

		Pre-adjustment				Post-adjustment
		RMB		US$		RMB		US$
		(in thousands)
Short-term financing receivables, net		734,475		106,825		742,117		107,936
Prepayments and other current assets		261,567		38,043		229,008		33,308
Amounts due from related parties		472,926		68,784		475,426		69,148

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating its business, the Company considers and uses adjusted net income/loss as a supplemental measure to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company defines adjusted net income/loss as net income/loss excluding share-based compensation expenses.

 

The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure can help management evaluate the Company’s operating performance and formulate business plans. Adjusted net income/loss enables management to assess operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses. The Company also believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information about its operating results, enhances the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by management in their financial and operational decision-making.

 

This non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool. One of the key limitations of using adjusted net income/loss is that it does not reflect all items of income and expenses that affect the Company’s operations. The Company will continue to incur share-based compensation expenses in its business, which are reflected in the presentation of its adjusted net income/loss. Further, this non-GAAP financial measure may differ from non-GAAP financial information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore its comparability may be limited.

The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, net income/loss, which should be considered when evaluating the Company’s performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
