This study aims to examine the effect of liquidity, activity, leverage, and profitability on firm value, as well as the effect of disclosure of corporate social responsibility (CSR), which in this study is a moderator and company size as a control variable. The sampling technique used in this study is a purposive sampling method with certain criteria, to obtain a sample of 22 LQ45 index companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2014-2019. The data analysis method in this study used was the Multiple Linear Regression Analysis with the SPSS 18 Program. The results show that the ratios of liquidity, activity, leverage, and profitability are significant to firm value in accordance with the initial hypothesis of the study. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) plays a role as a moderating variable and company size variable as a control variable on the effect of financial ratios (liquidity, activity, leverage, and profitability) on firm value. The implication of this research is that CSR has a very important role in increasing company value. To attract more investors, companies must pay attention not only to financial performance but also to social performance. Large-scale companies tend to do more CSR so that the company value will increase.

This paper aims to propose a Comprehensive Decision Support Model to evaluate retail companies' financial performance traded on the Vietnam Stock Exchange Market. The financial performance has been examined in terms of the valuations ratios, profitability ratios, growth rates, liquidity ratios, efficiency ratios, and leverage ratios. The data of twelve companies from the first quarter to the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020 were employed. The weights of 18 chosen financial ratios are calculated by using the Standard Deviation method (SD). Grey Relational Analysis technique was applied to obtain the final ranking of each company in each quarter. The results showed that leverage ratios have the most significant impact on the retail companies' financial performance and gives some long-term investment recommendations for stakeholders and indicated that the Taseco Air Services Joint Stock Company (AST), Mobile World Investment Corporation (MWG), and Cam Ranh International Airport Services Joint Stock Company (CIA) are three of the top efficient companies. The three of the worst companies are Viglacera Corporation (VGC), Saigon General Service Corporation (SVC), and HocMon Trade Joint Stock Company (HTC). Furthermore, this study suggests that the GRA model could be implemented effectively to ranking companies of other industries in the future research.

This study examines the impact of corporate governance on capital structure decisions based on a large panel of Chinese listed firms. Using the system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator to control for unobserved heterogeneity, endogeneity, and persistency in capital structure decisions, we document that the ownership structure plays a significant role in determining leverage ratios. More specially, we find that managerial ownership has a positive and significant impact on firms' leverage, consistent with the incentive alignment hypothesis. We also find that managerial ownership only affects the leverage decisions of private firms in the post-2005 split share reform period. State ownership negatively influence leverage decisions implying that SOEs may face fewer restrictions in equity issuance and may receive favourable treatments when applying for seasoned equity ¿nancing, thus use less debt. Furthermore, our results show that while foreign ownership negatively influences leverage decisions, legal person shareholding positively influences firms' leverage decisions only for state controlled firms. We also find that the board structure variables (board size and the proportion of independent directors) do not influence firms' capital structure decisions. Our findings suggest that recent ownership reforms have been successful in terms of providing incentive to managers through managerial shareholdings to take risky financial choices.

This paper examines the impact of mergers on the financial performance of the Jordanian banking sector. This paper applies the financial approaches in analysing the effects of mergers on Jordanian banks' performance for two the periods: four years pre-merger and four years' post-merger for the period from 2001 to 2009. The sample of the study solely contains the case of the merger of the Jordan Ahli Bank (AHLI bank) with Philadelphia Bank in 2005. Data are tested for normality using the Shapiro-Wilk Test and Kolmogorov Smirnov test. The financial ratios and a statistical technique as a Mann-Whitney U test were used to assess the significant differences in the financial performance of the selected banks pre- and post-merger by investigating the performance-related financial ratio groups that are expressed by leverage, liquidity, efficiency, and cash flow ratio. The results show that there is an insignificant improvement in the ratios of AHLI bank in the period after the merger, except for the superior result provided by this study indicating that the leverage ratios improved significantly. The reason for the insignificant improvement in financial ratios may be that the post-merger period corresponds to the period of the global financial crisis that began in 2007.

본 연구는 국내 자본시장에서 지금까지 상대적으로 낮은 관심을 받아왔던 KOSDAQ 상장기업들의 재무적 특성 분석(자본구조 포함에 관한 실증적인 연구이다. 본 연구에서는 KOSDAQ 기업들(우량기업부와 벤처기업부 소속)에 대한 상대적으로 포괄적인 가설검정을 실행하였다. 첫 번째 가설은 동 상장회사들의 자본구조(부채) 결정에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 설명변수의 통계학적인 분석이다. 다중 회귀식을 이용한 결과, 장부가 기준의 종속변수에 대한 영향력과의 관계에서, 자산크기, 성장성, 시가-장부가 비율, 변동성, 시가총액, 그리고 KOSDAQ 내의 소속부에 대한 더미변수 들이 통계학적인 유의성을 보였고, 시장가 기준의 종속변수에 대한 설명변수들의 영향력은 자산크기, 성장성, 시가총액, 체계적 위험의 대용치인 베타계수, 그리고 소속부 더미변수에서 나타났다. 두 번째 가설검정은 로지스틱 모델을 이용한 소속부 분류 기준상, 해당 기업들의 재무적인 특성분석 검정이었으며, 마지막 분석은 해당 기업들의 산업별 평균 부채비율로서의 '회귀성'관련 검정이었다. 로지스틱 회귀식 결과와 관련하여 기업들의 재무특성 중, 수익성, 자산크기, 시가대비 장부가 비율, 그리고, 외국인 지분률이 각각 높을수록 벤처기업부 대비, 우량기업부로 분류될 확률이 높음을 알 수 있었으며, Fisher exact 확률검정을 이용한 해당 기업들의 부채회귀성 가설에 대한 검정 결과, 산술평균치와 중앙값 각각을 기준으로 매 5년 주기로 평균 부채비율로의 회귀성이 통계적으로 판명되었다. 이는 Bowen et al.(1982)의 미국 기업들 대상의 검정결과와 일치하며, 평균부채 회귀성의 자본선진국의 일반 경향이 본 연구대상인 KOSDAQ 기업 대상의 연구에서도 발견될 수 있었다는 점에도 기여도가 있다고 판단한다.

The COVID-19 pandemic has hurt the economy and negatively impacted all enterprises' financial performance. The COVID-19 pandemic has put a strain on global manufacturing capacity and supply chains, and it is also the pandemic that has given up new opportunities for the logistics industry to develop as e-commerce has developed. By analyzing the financial performance of logistic firms listed on the Vietnam Stock Exchange, this study tries to quantify those consequences. A total of 114 logistic companies were included in the study's sample. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was performed to test the difference between some ratios in 2019 and 2020. This study found that the financial performance of 114 logistic firms listed on the Vietnam stock exchange has not improved. The data show that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the leverage ratio increased while the profitability and efficiency ratios decreased. The liquidity ratio did not show any significant differences. On the contrary, these businesses' performance, such as returns on assets, receivable turnover, and leverage, has decreased. The COVID-19 had a global impact on supply chains, therefore export activity and international transportation were badly hampered, with only a few domestic logistic enterprises growing.

The paper aims to combine balance sheet analysis at the firm level with the International Monetary Fund's public debt sustainability assessment framework to assess state-owned enterprises' (SOE) leverage as a contingent liability to the public sector. Based on company data and the interest coverage ratio as a measure of debt at risk, aggregate baseline scenarios are projected to gauge the magnitude of SOE debt as a contingency. SOE's financial and debt ratios are first bootstrapped to generate firm-level distributions and then averaged into a fan chart of the economy-wide SOE contingent liability. Applied to the People's Republic of China as an example, the study finds that by the end of 2015 SOE leverage had grown to a substantial liability. However arbitrary the assumptions underlying these projections, it would appear that even if authorities had to mop up as much as 20% of SOE debt at risk gone bad, this would have been manageable at roughly 2.7% of the gross domestic product in 2016 or 5.5% by 2021. This projection framework is fully amenable to alternative assumptions and settings, which makes it a useful analytical tool to monitor contingent liabilities from non-financial corporate debt that have been building in emerging and advanced economies alike.

본 연구의 배경은 아시아 외환위기 발생시점 기준, 사전 및 사후 기간 상호 간의 국내 대기업들의 부채비율 변화에 대한 차이점을 발견하기 위해 분석하는 것이다. 본 연구의 목적은 정부로부터 타인자본 조달 시 상대적으로 우선순위를 유지하였다고 주장되는 재벌기업 중심의 대기업들이, 금융위기 이후에도 연구표본자료에 포함된 대응기업들과 비교에서 지속적으로 높은 부채비율을 유지하는가에 대한 가설을 검증하는 것이다. 재벌에 속하는 기업들은 평균적으로 높은 장부가 대비 그리고 시장가 대비 부채비율을 상대기업들과 비교하여, 표본기간동안 유지하였음이 판명되었고, '시간' 대용 더미변수인 2002년과 2003년의 변수들은 (장부가 기준의) 부채비율과 역(-)의 상관관계를 보였다. 새로운 회계처리기준(K-IFRS)를 고려하여, 현재까지 대차대조표의 부외항목으로만 산정되는 영업리스 금액을 자산과 부채에 새로이 포함하여 산정한 부채비울 기준으로 분석한 결과, 모델에 포함된 설명변수들 기준, 차이가 없음을 통계적으로 발견하였다. 정부는 그 동안 지속적으로 기업회계의 투명성과 기업소유구조를 중심으로 한 기업지배구조의 개선에 관한 정책을 수행하여 왔으며, '새로운' 부채비율에 대한 정의는 기업의 부채를 측정하는 점에 더욱 효율적 일 수 있다고 판단한다. 또한, 현재 진행 중인 한국-미국 간 그리고 한국-중국 간 등의 자유무역협정(FTA)이 시행될 경우, 다국적 기업들의 국내 현지법인 설립 시, 본 논문의 결과는 동 법인들이 적정 부채비울을 구성하는 점에 응용될 수 있음을 시사한다고 판단한다.

The research aims to investigate the determinants of the financial performance of 1343 Vietnamese companies categorized into six different industries listed on the Vietnamese Stock Exchange over a four-year period from 2014 to 2017 using STATA software. Those determinants include firm size, liquidity, solvency, financial leverage, and financial adequacy while the financial performance is evaluated by three different ratios: return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), and return on sales (ROS). The research results from these companies during the given period indicate that: (1) Firm size has a positive impact on both ROA and ROS, especially ROA but it has the opposite effect on ROE, (2) Adequacy ratio impacts positively on ROA and ROS but negatively on ROE, (3) Financial leverage considerably negative influences on ROE and ROS but positively impacts on ROA, (4) Liquidity has a positive effect on both ROA and ROE but a negative one on ROS and (5) Solvency has a positive impact on ROA and ROS but the negative impact on ROE. Furthermore, agriculture accounted for the highest percentage of profitability at the beginning, which was replaced by service for ROA but manufacture for ROE from 2016 to 2017 as opposed to the least in transportation.

This study investigates the effect of capital structure on the financial performance of pharmaceutical enterprises which are listing on Vietnam's stock market. The study builds the regression using ROE as dependent variable and four independent variables, including self-financing, financial leverage, long-term asset and debt to assets ratios. In addition, we use other variables as controlling ones, such as firm size, fixed asset rate and growth. We collect data for the period from 2015 to 2019 of all 30 pharmaceutical enterprises which are currently listing on Vietnam's stock market. The least square regression (OLS) is used to test the effect of capital structure to the firms' financial performance. The analysis results show that the financial leverage ratio (LR), long-term asset ratio (LAR) and debt-to-assets ratio (DR) have positive relationship with firm performance, meanwhile the self-financing (E/C) affects negatively to the return on equity (ROE). Upon the findings we suggest that the Vietnamese government should focus on stabilizing macro environment to create favorable environment for enterprises. And the pharmaceutical enterprises should build more reasonable capital structure with higher debt proportion than equity, diversifying loan mobilization channels such as issuing long-term bonds. Additionally, the firms should expand the scale appropriately to maintain development and ability to pay debts.
