Loan quality trended higher within both segments, demonstrating the efficacy of our strategic approach. As our Puhui loan balance increasingly represents loans enabled under the 100% guarantee model, we anticipate the ongoing shift will drive further enhancements to our take rate going forward. Furthermore, as we continue to execute our strategy of obtaining and utilizing strong licenses to bolster our business, we expect our licenses will help us improve our funding costs, product diversity, and capital management efficiency. Looking ahead, we will seek to deepen our synergies with Ping An Group, leveraging their brand reputation, technological resources, and extensive network to strengthen our market position. These initiatives, combined with our direct sales force and ongoing emphasis on operational caution, uniquely position us to support China’s small and micro enterprise economy. We are encouraged by our progress to date, and remain committed to drive persistent, high-quality growth for our customers and our shareholders.”

Mr. Gregory Gibb, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Lufax, commented, “Our ongoing emphasis on operational refinements helped us strengthen our business during the second quarter. Our disciplined approach to credit standards led to enhancements in asset quality, with the C-M3 flow rate of Puhui loans improving to 0.9% and the NPL ratio for consumer finance loans decreasing to 1.4%. Meanwhile, the implementation of our 100% guarantee model for Puhui loans has positively impacted the take rate on our outstanding balance, which reached 9.3% this quarter. Our consumer finance segment also continued to grow, with a 23.6% year-over-year increase in new loan sales, representing 49% of total new loan sales in the quarter. Our prudent approach and ongoing operational refinements will be key as we pursue sustainable future growth.”

Mr. Alston Peiqing Zhu, Chief Financial Officer of Lufax, commented, “During the second quarter, our leverage remained low, and our two main operating entities have maintained their strong capital positions. Our guarantee subsidiary’s leverage ratio is stable at 2.4x, still comfortably below the 10x regulatory limit. At the same time, our consumer finance company has a healthy 14.7% capital adequacy ratio, surpassing the 10.5% regulatory requirement. Amidst a complex economic environment, we are seeing positive trends in asset quality and notable growth in consumer finance. We remain steadfast in our disciplined approach, aiming to construct a resilient platform for enduring success and shareholder value creation.”

Technology platform-based income was RMB1,999 million (US$275 million) in the second quarter of 2024, compared to RMB4,076 million in the same period of 2023, representing a decrease of 51.0%, due to 1) the decrease of retail credit service fees due to the decrease in loan balance and 2) the decrease of referral and other technology platform-based income due to the Company’s exit from the Lujintong[6] business that it had previously conducted.Net interest income was RMB2,716 million (US$374 million) in the second quarter of 2024, compared to RMB3,367 million in the same period of 2023, representing a decrease of 19.3%, mainly due to the decrease in loan balance, partially offset by the increase of net interest income from the Company’s consumer finance business.Guarantee income was RMB850 million (US$117 million) in the second quarter of 2024, compared to RMB1,149 million in the same period of 2023, representing a decrease of 26.0%, primarily due to the decrease in loan balance and a lower average fee rate.Other income was RMB318 million (US$44 million) in the second quarter of 2024, compared to other income of RMB310 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was mainly due to the increased account management fees driven by improved collection performance.Investment income was RMB94 million (US$13 million) in the second quarter of 2024, compared to RMB370 million in the same period of 2023, mainly due to the increased losses associated with certain investment assets.

—————————

[1] The take rate of retail credit enablement business is calculated by dividing the aggregated amount of loan enablement service fees, post-origination service fees, net interest income (excluding revenue from PAObank and LUAN credit subsidiaries), guarantee income and the penalty fees and account management fees by the average outstanding balance of loans enabled for each period.

[2] C-M3 flow rate estimates the percentage of current loans that will become non-performing at the end of three months, and is defined as the product of (i) the loan balance that is overdue from 1 to 29 days as a percentage of the total current loan balance of the previous month, (ii) the loan balance that is overdue from 30 to 59 days as a percentage of the loan balance that was overdue from 1 to 29 days in the previous month, and (iii) the loan balance that is overdue from 60 to 89 days as a percentage of the loan balance that was overdue from 30 days to 59 days in the previous month. Loans from legacy products and consumer finance subsidiary are excluded from the flow rate calculation.

[3] DPD 30+ delinquency rate refers to the outstanding balance of loans for which any payment is 30 to 179 calendar days past due divided by the outstanding balance of loans. Loans from legacy products and consumer finance subsidiary are excluded from the calculation.

[4] DPD 90+ delinquency rate refers to the outstanding balance of loans for which any payment is 90 to 179 calendar days past due divided by the outstanding balance of loans. Loans from legacy products and consumer finance subsidiary are excluded from the calculation.

[5] Non-performing loan ratio for consumer finance loans is calculated by using the outstanding balance of consumer finance loans for which any payment is 91 or more calendar days past due and not written off, and certain restructured loans, divided by the outstanding balance of consumer finance loans.

[6] Lujintong was a platform the company launched in 2019, aiming to help its financial institution partners to acquire borrowers directly through dispersed sourcing nationwide. The company downscaled the operations of Lujintong in 2023 and ceased its operation by the end of April 2024.

TOTAL EXPENSES

Total expenses decreased by 20% to RMB6,341 million (US$873 million) in the second quarter of 2024 from RMB7,957 million in the same period of 2023. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in sales and marketing expenses by 46% to RMB1,372 million (US$189 million) in the second quarter of 2024 from RMB2,540 million in the same period of 2023. Total expenses excluding credit impairment losses, finance costs and other (gains)/losses decreased by 30% to RMB3,485 million (US$480 million) in the second quarter of 2024 from RMB4,954 million in the same period of 2023.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 46.0% to RMB1,372 million (US$189 million) in the second quarter of 2024 from RMB2,540 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was mainly due to 1) the decreased loan-related expenses as a result of the decrease in loan balance and 2) decreased retention expenses and referral expenses from platform service attributable to the Company’s exit from the Lujintong business that it had previously conducted.General and administrative expenses increased by 3.5% to RMB511 million (US$70 million) in the second quarter of 2024 from RMB493 million in the same period of 2023, mainly due to the increased investment in newly acquired businesses.Operation and servicing expenses decreased by 15.8% to RMB1,327 million (US$183 million) in the second quarter of 2024 from RMB1,576 million in the same period of 2023, due to the Company’s expense control measures and decrease of loan balance, partially offset by increased commission associated with improved collection performance.Technology and analytics expenses decreased by 20.0% to RMB275 million (US$38 million) in the second quarter of 2024 from RMB344 million in the same period of 2023, primarily due to the Company’s expense control measures.Credit impairment losses decreased by 14.6% to RMB2,560 million (US$352 million) in the second quarter of 2024 from RMB2,998 million in the same period of 2023, mainly due to the decrease in actual losses of loans as a result of the improvement of credit performance, partially offset by the upfront provision from loans under the 100% guarantee model.Finance costs decreased by 90.2% to RMB13 million (US$2 million) in the second quarter of 2024 from RMB136 million in the same period of 2023, mainly due to the decrease of interest expenses as a result of repayment of C-Round Convertible Promissory Notes and other debts, partially offset by the decrease of interest income from bank deposits.Other losses were RMB282 million (US$39 million) in the second quarter of 2024, compared to other gains of RMB130 million in the same period of 2023, mainly due to the increase of foreign exchange losses and losses associated with certain risk assets.

NET LOSS

Net loss was RMB730 million (US$100 million) in the second quarter of 2024, compared to a net profit of RMB1,004 million in the same period of 2023, as a result of the aforementioned factors.

Recent Updates

Revenue was $150.8 million for the first quarter of 2026, representing a 3% decrease over the corresponding period of 2025. Excluding $16.8 million related to one-time license and royalty revenue in the first quarter of 2025, revenue increased 9% over the corresponding period of 2025.Launched Atera, a new platform to redefine how biology is measured and understood. Atera was engineered to deliver spatial whole-transcriptome analysis with single-cell sensitivity at unprecedented scale. The Company expects to start shipping Atera in the second half of 2026.Announced a partnership with Bioptimus, a global AI biotech company, to launch STELA, a multinational spatial data generation initiative to create foundational datasets connecting underlying biology with disease outcomes. The initiative is starting this effort on our Xenium platform and plans to expand to Atera over time.Ended the first quarter of 2026 with cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $539.8 million, representing a $112.9 million increase from March 31, 2025.

“We had a solid start to the year, with double-digit growth in Single Cell consumables reaction volumes and double-digit growth in Spatial consumables revenue,” said Serge Saxonov, Co-founder and CEO of 10x Genomics. “The biggest highlight is our recent launch of Atera, which represents the most significant product introduction in our history. We are extremely encouraged by the extraordinary early customer response.”

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Revenue was $150.8 million for the first quarter of 2026, a 3% decrease from the corresponding period of 2025. Excluding $16.8 million related to a patent litigation settlement recognized in the first quarter of 2025, revenue increased 9% over the corresponding period of 2025.

Gross margin was 70% for the first quarter of 2026, as compared to 68% for the corresponding prior year period. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to lower warranty costs and lower inventory write-downs, partially offset by a decrease in license and royalty revenue reflecting a non-recurring royalty benefit recognized in the first quarter of 2025.

Operating expenses were $123.2 million for the first quarter of 2026, a 15% decrease from $144.8 million for the corresponding prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by lower outside legal expenses and personnel expenses, partially offset by a non-recurring gain on settlement of $9.2 million recognized in the first quarter of 2025.

Operating loss was $17.0 million for the first quarter of 2026, as compared to operating loss of $39.3 million for the corresponding prior year period.

Total operating expenses of $227.5 million increased $6.2 million, or 2.8%, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher variable billboard property lease expenses, higher transit franchise costs, including higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (the “MTA”) due to inflation, higher production expenses, and higher maintenance and utilities costs, partially offset by the impact of lost billboards in the period.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of $107.3 million decreased $7.4 million, or 6.5%, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to lower compensation-related expenses, including severance and salaries, and lower credit card usage by customers, partially offset by higher professional fees, including software and technology expenses, a higher allowance for bad debt and higher client entertainment expenses.

Adjusted OIBDA of $100.4 million increased $36.2 million, or 56.4%, compared to the same prior-year period.

Segment Results

Billboard
Reported billboard segment revenues of $332.9 million increased $22.2 million, or 7.1%, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher proceeds from condemnations and an increase in average revenue per display (yield), including the impact of programmatic platforms on digital billboard revenues, partially offset by lost billboards in the period.

Operating expenses increased $3.5 million, or 2.4%, due primarily to higher variable billboard property lease costs, higher maintenance and utilities, higher site-related costs, and higher compensation-related expenses, partially offset by the impact of lost billboards in the period.

SG&A expenses increased $1.3 million, or 1.9%, due primarily to higher professional fees, including software and technology expenses, and a higher allowance for bad debt, partially offset by lower credit card usage by customers and lower compensation-related expenses.

Adjusted OIBDA of $116.4 million increased $17.4 million, or 17.6%, compared to the same prior-year period.

Transit
Reported transit segment revenues of $95.0 million increased $17.3 million, or 22.3%, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to an increase in average revenue per display (yield), partially offset by the impact of new and lost transit franchise contracts.

Operating expenses increased $3.0 million, or 4.0%, due primarily to higher guaranteed minimum annual payments to the MTA due to inflation, higher display production costs, and higher posting and rotation costs.

SG&A expenses increased $1.5 million, or 8.7%, due primarily to higher compensation-related expenses, including severance and commissions, higher professional fees, including higher software and technology expenses, partially offset by lower credit card usage by customers.

Adjusted OIBDA loss decreased $12.8 million, or 90.1%, compared to the same prior-year period.

Other
Reported revenues decreased $0.6 million, or 26.1%, operating expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 16.7%, and Adjusted OIBDA decreased $0.3 million, or 60.0%, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to a decrease in third-party digital equipment sales.

Corporate
Corporate expenses, excluding stock-based compensation, decreased $6.3 million, or 29.9%, compared to the same prior-year period to $14.8 million, due primarily to lower compensation-related expenses, including severance, and lower professional fees, including fees related to a management consulting project.

Interest Expense
Net interest expense in the first quarter of 2026 was $36.0 million, including amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.4 million, as compared to $36.0 million, including amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.5 million, in the same prior-year period. The weighted average cost of debt was 5.3% as of March 31, 2026 and 5.4% as of March 31, 2025.

Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes decreased $0.1 million, or 20.0%, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same prior-year period. Cash paid for income taxes in the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.4 million.

Net Income Attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.
Net income attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. was $19.1 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to a Net loss attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. of $20.6 million in the same prior-year period. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 177.1 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 166.4 million for the same prior-year period. Net income per common share for diluted earnings per weighted average share was $0.11 in the first quarter of 2026 compared to a Net loss per common share for diluted earnings per weighted average share of $0.14 in the same prior-year period.

FFO
FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. was $63.5 million in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $37.0 million, or 139.6%, from the same prior-year period, driven primarily by higher Adjusted OIBDA.

AFFO
Starting at the end of 2025, we modified our calculation of AFFO to include amortization of direct lease acquisition costs instead of cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs, as management believes that this calculation of AFFO is a more appropriate measure of performance period-over-period and consistent with how we calculate FFO. Accordingly, relevant prior periods have been recast to conform to this presentation.

AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. was $61.0 million in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $33.9 million, or 125.1%, from the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher Adjusted OIBDA and a higher non-cash effect of straight-line rent, partially offset by lower equity earnings.

Cash Flow & Capital Expenditures
Net cash flow provided by operating activities of $75.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased $41.7 million, or 124.1%, compared to $33.6 million in the same prior-year period, due primarily to higher net income, as adjusted for non-cash items, the timing of accounts receivables and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by a decrease in deferred revenues. Total capital expenditures increased $6.9 million, or 40.1%, to $24.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same prior-year period, due primarily to increased growth in digital displays, increased maintenance spending for billboard display upgrades and increased spending for safety-related projects.

Dividends
In the three months ended March 31, 2026, we paid cash dividends of $53.4 million on our common stock and vested restricted share units granted to employees. We announced on May 7, 2026, that our board of directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $0.30 per share payable on June 30, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 5, 2026.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2026, our liquidity position included unrestricted cash of $67.2 million and $494.9 million of availability under our $500.0 million revolving credit facility, net of $5.1 million of issued letters of credit against the letter of credit facility sublimit under the revolving credit facility, and $150.0 million of additional availability under our accounts receivable securitization facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, no shares of our common stock were sold under our at-the-market equity offering program, of which $232.5 million remains available. Total indebtedness as of March 31, 2026 was $2.6 billion, excluding $14.8 million of deferred financing costs, and includes a $500.0 million term loan, $450.0 million of senior secured notes and $1.7 billion of senior unsecured notes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) provided throughout this document, this document and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures as described below. We calculate and define “Adjusted OIBDA” as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, net (gain) loss on dispositions and stock-based compensation. We calculate Adjusted OIBDA margin by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenues. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin are among the primary measures we use for managing our business, evaluating our operating performance and planning and forecasting future periods, as each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance. Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because eliminating certain non-comparable items highlight operational trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures.  It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier for users of our financial data to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. When used herein, references to “FFO” and “AFFO” mean “FFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.” and “AFFO attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc.,” respectively. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO reflects net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc. adjusted to exclude gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, amortization of direct lease acquisition costs and the same adjustments for our equity-based investments and redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests, as well as the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We calculate AFFO as FFO adjusted to include amortization of direct lease acquisition costs as such costs are generally amortized over a period ranging from four weeks to one year and therefore are incurred on a regular basis. AFFO also includes cash paid for maintenance capital expenditures since these are routine uses of cash that are necessary for our operations. In addition, AFFO excludes certain non-cash items, including non-real estate depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, accretion expense, the non-cash effect of straight-line rent, amortization of deferred financing costs and the same adjustments for our redeemable and non-redeemable noncontrolling interests, along with the non-cash portion of income taxes, and the related income tax effect of adjustments, as applicable. We use FFO and AFFO measures for managing our business and for planning and forecasting future periods, and each is an important indicator of our operational strength and business performance, especially compared to other real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Our management believes users of our financial data are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in managing, planning and executing our business strategy. Our management also believes that the presentations of FFO and AFFO, as supplemental measures, are useful in evaluating our business because adjusting results to reflect items that have more bearing on the operating performance of REITs highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. It is management’s opinion that these supplemental measures provide users of our financial data with an important perspective on our operating performance and also make it easier to compare our results to other companies in our industry, as well as to REITs. Since Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA margin, FFO and AFFO are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, operating income (loss) and net income (loss) attributable to OUTFRONT Media Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as indicators of operating performance. These measures, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, these measures do not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and are not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.

Please see Exhibits 4-5 of this release for a reconciliation of the above non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

NOTES TO EXHIBITS

PRIOR PERIOD PRESENTATION CONFORMS TO CURRENT REPORTING CLASSIFICATIONS.

(a)

Starting at the end of 2025, we modified our calculation of AFFO to include amortization of direct lease acquisition costs instead of the cash paid for direct lease acquisition costs, as management believes that this calculation of AFFO is a more appropriate measure of performance period-over-period and consistent with how we calculate FFO. Accordingly, relevant prior periods have been recast to conform to this presentation.

*     Calculation not meaningful.
