It’s been 10 years since the last financial crisis, and the rising in stock market price along with record dividends raises deep concerns about the sustainability of listed corporate financial performance. Has the narrow logic of shareholder value been compromising long term financial performance leading to a financial crisis? We question here the DuPont equation to track financial performance drivers over time for discussing about its vulnerability. A disaggregated five-steps DuPont equation is used to set up following drivers: operational profitability, asset turnover, leverage multiplier, interest and fiscal burden. We draw a statistical analysis of those drivers with a panel data of 43 international non-financial corporates from France, Germany, Hungary and Italy between 2012 and 2017. The results stress the role of fiscal burden, interest burden and operational profit as the main ROE driver. Leverage multiplier driver, consensually considered as more financially vulnerable, has played an astonishing negative role. The drop in asset turnover is however the more worried signal as this factor is the most sustainable. Keywords: ROE components, DuPont equation, Financial sustainability, Listed corporate performance, Financial reporting

While research on employee ambidexterity is growing, there is little investigation on what firms can do to enhance their competitiveness in this space. Leveraging a human resource lens, we advance a comprehensive model depicting three firm-level ambidexterities as key performance drivers that can help firms achieve bottom-line outcomes. Specifically, we focus on (1) ambidexterity in skill-enhancing practices (i.e., selection, training), which ensure employees have relevant service-sales knowledge, skills, and abilities; (2) ambidexterity in motivation-enhancing practices (i.e., metrics, incentives), which help motivate employees to perform service-sales activities; and (3) ambidexterity in opportunity-enhancing practices (i.e., data, tools use), which enable employees to perform service-sales activities. Our findings suggest that ambidextrous firms—or those that balance service- and sales-related elements when implementing their systems and processes—enjoy greater sales force and firm financial performance. Finally, we test boundary conditions for these relationships and find that competitive intensity enhances the positive effects of all ambidexterity constructs. We conclude with implications for theory and practice.

Purpose: Profitability measurement is a comparative statistic that describes the relationships between overall profit and other financial determinants of the firm. Design/Methodology/Approach: The focus of this study is to measure the technical (TE), pure technical (PTE) and scale efficiency (SE) scores via Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) of modaraba companies operating in Pakistan. The next stage is to study the empirical relationship between profitability, liquidity, leverage, and macroeconomic performance drivers. Financial statement data for 2010 to 2019 have been analyzed. Findings: Empirical findings of descriptive statistics, correlation and regression were measured. These empirical results reveal that capital ratio (CR) and operating expenses to net income (OENI) had negative correlation with PTE, SE and TE. Whereas the age of the firm had a negative correlation with PTE and TE and positive correlation with SE, moreover, exchange rate (EXC) PKR to USD, log of total assets (LTA) and management expenses (ME) had negative correlation with SE and positive correlation with PTE and TE. Furthermore, inflation (INF) had negative correlation with PTE and positive correlation with SE and TE. Moreover, number of certificates (NOC) had negative correlation with SE and TE and positive correlation with PTE. Implications/Originality/Value: Findings will be helpful to the management and policy makers for enhancing future financial performance by concentrating on these economic factors. More detailed and extensive data from the financial and non-financial aspects is suggested to support the hypothesized relationship of efficiency measures and determinants.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review a sample of the literature relating to the financial impacts of supply chain management (SCM) and suggest future research directions. Design/methodology/approach – 49 research articles between 1990 and 2011 are collected from various academic databases and online sources. By conducting content analysis, empirical findings on the relationship between SCM and firm-level financial performance are summarized and classified. Performance drivers are identified from the literature to guide future SC practices. Findings – Both accounting- and market-based financial performances are closely related to the effectiveness of SCM. As important performance drivers, sourcing strategy, information technology (IT), SC integration, and external relationships play critical roles to improve firm-level financial performance. In particular, optimal levels of outsourceability, SC alignment and integration with IT infrastructure, and SC relationship management are essential to realize full financial advantages of effective SCM. Practical implications – A better understanding and demonstration on how SCM makes positive contributions to financial performance help SCM managers to better communicate with top management and substantiate their roles in the organization. Originality/value – To the authors' best knowledge, this paper is the first and the most comprehensive literature review in a much-needed research area. A number of performance drivers are identified to provide practical guidance. Some promising research areas are suggested for further investigation.

The financial statements serve as a benchmark in assessing the financial performance of the company as the basis for making business decisions. The motivation in conducting this research is to support previous research to see the development condition of one of the oil palm plantation companies. The purpose of this study is to assess the financial performance by using financial ratio analysis and horizontal analysis. The method used in this research is Quantitative Descriptive with analysis design using Term series Analysis. The result of the research based on financial ratio analysis shows the liquidity ratio and solvency ratio in good condition, while the activity ratio and profitability ratio are not good because it is below the industry average of similar companies. Based on horizontal analysis, financial performance fluctuated and influenced internal and external factors such as operational performance and the average price of world palm oil. The limitations of this study are using only two analytical tools and financial statements analyzed only the balance sheet and income statement.
