SINGAPORE, Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — True Global Ventures 4 Plus Pte. Ltd. (“TGV”) is pleased to announce that it has been granted a Capital Markets Services (“CMS”) licence by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (“MAS”) to conduct regulated fund management activities under the Securities and Futures Act 2001 (SFA) beyond the management of venture capital funds.

The CMS licence authorises TGV now as a Licensed Fund Management Company (“LFMC”) for accredited investors, to manage regulated investment funds from Singapore, strengthening the firm’s position as a global venture capital leader and underscoring its commitment to robust governance, compliance, and investor protection.

Strategic Growth Pathways Under the Licence

With the CMS licence in place, TGV is able to broaden its fund management activities and introduce new investment strategies in addition to its existing venture capital funds mandate. These include potentially managing:

Continuation Funds – enabling TGV to extend its support for proven, high-performing portfolio companies by providing additional growth capital, while also giving investors a choice of continued participation at later stages pre-IPO companies. Such funds can both invest in the best portfolio companies in primary rounds as well as into secondaries without the constraints imposed by TGV’s previous Venture Capital Fund Management (“VCFM”) license.

Fund of Funds – diversifying investor portfolios by allocating to top-tier venture capital managers across regions and sectors, supported by TGV’s extensive global networks.

Public Companies Investments – selectively investing in listed companies that align with TGV’s core themes in artificial intelligence and blockchain, allowing investors to benefit across both private and public markets.

Crypto Funds – leveraging TGV’s strong track record in blockchain to offer professionally managed exposure to digital assets, underpinned by institutional-grade governance and risk management.

“We are honoured to receive the CMS licence from MAS, which reflects our commitment to meeting the highest regulatory compliance and governance standards,” said Beatrice Lion, CEO of TGV. “This milestone enables us to build on True Global Ventures’ strong track record and with immediate effect we will be able to invest more in secondaries in our existing portfolio without restrictions from our previous VCFM license.”

Dušan Stojanović, initiator of TGV, comments “With our expanded license, all of the above investment strategies are possibilities of our fund management activities. That said, we will still maintain our core focus on funds investing in equity with fund sizes between US$100 and 200 million where we have so far had exceptional returns being among the top 3% of venture capital funds globally in the same vintage.”

The CMS licence represents a significant step in TGV’s mission to back exceptional entrepreneurs and disruptive technologies worldwide, while operating with the highest level of fiduciary responsibility.

Q2 2025 Highlights

“Q2 2025 continued our strong momentum, with nearly RMB39 billion in total loan amount facilitated and originated and revenue up 66%,” said Kent Li, President of X Financial. “We added over 427,000 active borrowers this quarter, maintained healthy asset quality, and scaled our platform efficiently. These results underscore our disciplined execution and focus on long-term value creation.”

Business Outlook & Share Repurchase Plans

• Business Outlook: Based on current trends, X Financial expects the total loan amount facilitated and originated in the third quarter of 2025 to be in the range of RMB32.0 billion to RMB34.0 billion. This represents a deliberate moderation from record Q2 levels, as management places greater emphasis on asset quality and profitability over pure volume growth. The Company remains attentive to challenges and uncertainties from the evolving regulatory environment, while maintaining confidence in resilient borrower demand and disciplined execution.
• Capital Return to Shareholders: From January 1, 2025 through August 15, 2025, X Financial repurchased an aggregate of approximately 16.7 million Class A ordinary shares, including approximately 2.3 million ADSs, for a total consideration of approximately US$47.7 million under its share repurchase programs. The Company’s previous US$50 million repurchase authorization has been fully utilized. The Company now has approximately US$68.2 million remaining under its new US$100 million share repurchase program, which is effective through November 30, 2026. This program underscores the Company’s confidence in its long-term growth outlook and its commitment to enhancing shareholder value. Repurchases under the program remain subject to market conditions and other factors and may be modified or suspended at management’s discretion.
• Declaration of Semi-Annual Dividend: Pursuant to the semi-annual dividend policy, the Board today approved the declaration and payment of a semi-annual dividend of US$0.28 per ADS (approximately US$0.0467 per ordinary share). The holders of the Company’s ordinary shares shown on the Company’s record at the close of trading on September 26, 2025 (U.S. Eastern Daylight Time) will be entitled to the semi-annual dividend. These shareholders, including the Bank of New York Mellon, the depositary of our ADS program (the “Depositary”), will receive the payments of dividends on or about October 15, 2025. Dividends to the Company’s ADS holders will be paid by the Depositary on or after October 15, 2025, and the precise timing of receipt will vary based on the processing efficiency of the respective holding brokerage.

“We remain committed to disciplined execution and long-term value creation,” said Frank Fuya Zhang, Chief Financial Officer. “Our strong Q2 performance, with GAAP earnings of US$1.76 per ADS and non-GAAP earnings of US$1.98 per ADS, together with our solid balance sheet, position us to return capital while investing in sustainable growth.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating our business, we consider and use non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. We present the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We believe that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance and help investors to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain income or expenses that we include in income (loss) from operations and net income (loss). We also believe that the non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our core operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

We use in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) adjusted net income (loss), (ii) adjusted net income (loss) per basic ADS, (iii) adjusted net income (loss) per diluted ADS, (iv) adjusted net income (loss) per basic share, and (v) adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, each of which excludes share-based compensation expense, impairment losses on financial investments, income (loss) from financial investments, gain (loss) from financial investments at equity method and impairment losses on long-term investments. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We mitigate these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, which should be considered when evaluating our performance. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP results” set forth at the end of this press release.
