Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine a theoretical base for the financial distress prediction modeling over eight countries for a sample of 2,500 publicly listed non-financial firms for the period from 2000 to 2014. Design/methodology/approach The prediction model derived through the theory has the potential to produce prediction results that are generalizable over distinct industry and country samples. For this reason, the prediction model is on the earnings components, and it uses two different estimation methods and four sub-samples to examine the validity of the results. Findings The findings suggest that the theoretical model provides high-level prediction accuracy through its earnings components. The use of a large sample from different industries in distinct countries increases the validity of the prediction results, and contributes to the generalizability of the prediction model in distinct sectors. Originality/value The results of the study fulfill the gap and extend the literature through a distress model, which has the theoretical origin enabling the generalization of the prediction results over different samples and estimation methods.

The study aimed to investigate the role of non-financial measures in predicting corporate financial distress in the Indian industrial sector. The proportion of independent directors on the board and the proportion of the promoters’ share in the ownership structure of the business were the non-financial measures that were analysed, along with ten financial measures. For this, sample data consisted of 82 companies that had filed for bankruptcy under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). An equal number of matching financially sound companies also constituted the sample. Therefore, the total sample size was 164 companies. Data for five years immediately preceding the bankruptcy filing was collected for the sample companies. The data of 120 companies evenly drawn from the two groups of companies were used for developing the model and the remaining data were used for validating the developed model. Two binary logistic regression models were developed, M1 and M2, where M1 was formulated with both financial and non-financial variables, and M2 only had financial variables as predictors. The diagnostic ability of the model was tested with the aid of the receiver operating curve (ROC), area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity and annual accuracy. The results of the study show that inclusion of the two non-financial variables improved the efficacy of the financial distress prediction model. This study made a unique attempt to provide empirical evidence on the role played by non-financial variables in improving the efficiency of corporate distress prediction models.

Financial distress is a matter of concern in the recent period as Vietnam gradually enters global markets. This paper aims to examine the factors of Altman Z-score to detect the financial distress of Vietnamese listed companies. The authors use a sample of 30 delisted companies due to financial problems and 30 listed companies on the Vietnamese stock market from 2015 to 2018. They employ Independence Samples T-test to test the research model. It is found that there are significant differences in the factors of Altman Z-score between the group of listed companies and the group of delisted companies. Further analyses using subsamples of delisted companies show that the factors of Altman Z-score are also statistically different between companies with a low level of financial distress and those with a high level of financial distress. Based on the results, there are some suggestions to assist practitioners and the State Securities Commission in detecting, preventing, and strictly controlling financially distressed businesses. These results also enable users of financial statements to make more rational economic decisions accordingly.

Gated Recurrent Unit

PurposeIn the previous study of financial distress prediction, deep learning techniques performed better than traditional techniques over time-series data. This study investigates the performance of deep learning models: recurrent neural network, long short-term memory and gated recurrent unit for the financial distress prediction among the Malaysian public listed corporation over the time-series data. This study also compares the performance of logistic regression, support vector machine, neural network, decision tree and the deep learning models on single-year data.Design/methodology/approachThe data used are the financial data of public listed companies that been classified as PN17 status (distress) and non-PN17 (not distress) in Malaysia. This study was conducted using machine learning library of Python programming language.FindingsThe findings indicate that all deep learning models used for this study achieved 90% accuracy and above with long short-term memory (LSTM) and gated recurrent unit (GRU) getting 93% accuracy. In addition, deep learning models consistently have good performance compared to the other models over single-year data. The results show LSTM and GRU getting 90% and recurrent neural network (RNN) 88% accuracy. The results also show that LSTM and GRU get better precision and recall compared to RNN. The findings of this study show that the deep learning approach will lead to better performance in financial distress prediction studies. To be added, time-series data should be highlighted in any financial distress prediction studies since it has a big impact on credit risk assessment.Research limitations/implicationsThe first limitation of this study is the hyperparameter tuning only applied for deep learning models. Secondly, the time-series data are only used for deep learning models since the other models optimally fit on single-year data.Practical implicationsThis study proposes recommendations that deep learning is a new approach that will lead to better performance in financial distress prediction studies. Besides that, time-series data should be highlighted in any financial distress prediction studies since the data have a big impact on the assessment of credit risk.Originality/valueTo the best of authors' knowledge, this article is the first study that uses the gated recurrent unit in financial distress prediction studies based on time-series data for Malaysian public listed companies. The findings of this study can help financial institutions/investors to find a better and accurate approach for credit risk assessment.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan bukti empiris mengenai faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi financial distress perusahaan. Penelitian ini menguji peran rasio keuangan dalam memprediksi terjadinya financial distress pada perusahaan industri tekstil yang tercatat di Bursa Efek Jakarta. Analisis diskriminan digunakan untuk menguji kemampuan rasio keuangan untuk memprediksi financial distress dan membangun model prediksi distress financial dengan menggunakan prosedur stepwise. Variabel indikator adalah rasio keuangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada empat rasio yang berbeda dan secara signifikan mempengaruhi model prediksi distress keuangan. Rasio tersebut adalah Rasio Aktiva Lancar / Kewajiban Lancar, Modal Kerja / Jumlah Aktiva, Pendapatan Bersih / Total Aktiva, Kewajiban / Total Aset. Hasil klasifikasi berdasarkan nilai cut-off-Z Score mampu memprediksi kesulitan finansial perusahaan pada industri tekstil dengan tingkat akurasi 0f 100%. Tingkat akurasi model menunjukkan bahwa model diskriminan akurat dalam mengukur tekanan keuangan pada perusahaan industri tekstil. Kata kunci: Financial distress, Prediction Model, Rasio Keuangan

Financially Distressed

The purpose of this study is to establish an effective financial distress prediction model by applying hybrid machine learning techniques. The sample set is 262 financially distressed companies and 786 non-financially distressed companies, listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange between 2012 and 2018. This study deploys multiple machine learning techniques. The first step is to screen out important variables with stepwise regression (SR) and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), followed by the construction of prediction models, as based on classification and regression trees (CART) and random forests (RF). Both financial variables and non-financial variables are incorporated. This study finds that the financial distress prediction model built with CART and variables screened by LASSO has the highest accuracy of 89.74%.
