The Capital Structure

A lot of studies have actually been done by numerous researchers both in developed and developing countries such as Ethiopia to ascertain the empirical relationship existing between capital structure and firm performance with varying samples and period as well as application of several and divergent statistical estimation. This study is based on the identification of the impact that capital structure have on the financial performance of commercial banks in Ethiopia. In this regard, secondary data is collected from varied sources especially annual reports of the private commercial banks in Ethiopia. The literature review is done in the report, and it is identified operating, and the capital structure heavily affects net profit. Apart from this, return on equity, asset and capitals employed also affected by the capital structure of the banks. Regression analysis and descriptive analysis tools are used to analyse the data that is related to the sixteenprivate commercial banks in Ethiopia. On analysis of data, it is identified that operating and net profit is heavily affected by the capital structure. However, in the case of return on asset, return on equity, and return on capital employed, such kind of relationship is not observed.

The Impact

Due to the great importance of the financing structure of banks, the impact of capital structure on the financial performance of banks listed on the Amman Stock Exchange has been examined. To achieve the objectives of this study, we have followed the experimental approach. The study relied on financial variables. The Capital Structure has been measured by the ratios of total debt to total assets and total debt to total equity. Both ratios are independent variables. The dependent variable in this study is the financial performance of banks represented by the ratio of return on assets, the ratio of return on equity, the ratio of return on investment, and the ratio of return on share. The study community and sample consisted of twelve commercial banks listed on Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) during the period (2007-2017). Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used in testing of research hypotheses. The most important results are that the capital structure has an impact on return on assets (ROA), while it has no impact on return on equity (ROE), return on investment (ROI) and earnings per share (EPS) in Jordanian commercial banks.

Female Presence

Aim: Female representation in top corporate positions has been discussed widely around the world over the last decade, mainly due to the significant gap observed between the number of females with higher educational qualifications and the number of females in employment. Accordingly, this study aims to identify the relationship between the female presence within boardrooms and top management teams of local licensed commercial banks and the financial performance of those banks, which is a timely concern. Place and Duration of Study: Amana Bank PLC, Commercial Bank of Ceylon PLC, DFCC Bank PLC, Hatton National Bank PLC, National Development Bank PLC, Nations Trust Bank PLC, Pan Asia Banking Corporation PLC, Sampath Bank PLC, Seylan Bank PLC, and Union Bank of Colombo PLC were studied during the time period 2011 to 2019. Methodology: The time series data analysis method has been used for 10 local licensed commercial banks in Sri Lanka, excluding one bank which was not a PLC. The annual reports of the respective banks were used to gather the secondary data required for the study. Results: The regression analysis explained that female presence within boardrooms is positive and significant with respect to ROE and positive and insignificant with respect to ROA, whereas females in top management has a positive but insignificant relationship to ROA and a negative but insignificant relationship to ROE. The percentage changes in ROE and ROA explained by the two independent variables are relatively low. Accordingly, no significant relationships between female presence within boardrooms and top management teams and firm financial performance were identified. Conclusion: The insignificant relationships between the variables indicate that it is not necessary for these banks to employ females in order to prosper in their financial performance. However, the banks could still consider employing females in the boardroom to empower gender equality since such a presence does not have a negative impact on financial performance.

Performance Indexes

Taking into account only financial factors does not provide complete information on performance. This paper takes into consideration of both financial and non-financial performances when evaluating 35 sampled publicly traded commercial banks in Taiwan. The performance of banks is measured using an indexing method consisting of financial and non-financial measures. Banks are classified into two categories according either to the year founded, or to the type of major stockholders of a bank when founded. The results show that privatized government-owned/old banks are larger than private/new banks, respectively. Moreover, privatized government-owned banks have significantly higher financial performance index than private banks but both types of banks are not significantly different from each other in non-financial performance index. New and old banks are not significantly different from each other in both financial and non-financial performance indexes. With relatively large scale, higher profitability and better management, banks will perform relatively better among competitors in the following year. Furthermore, non-financial factors are important predictors of future financial and total performance indexes, though individual factor may not be consistently significant. More branch offices, better capital structure and solvency, and higher rates of growth in deposits and loans all result in more profits, and lead to higher customer satisfaction and more efficient management. Providing better technology to customers is an efficient way in promoting customer services, which in turn produces more profits and results in efficient management. CEOs, on average, have plans for better management and more profits. Among the factors that have direct and positive impacts on profitability, increasing the efficiency of management is the most efficient way. On the contrary, adding more branch offices contributes the least profits. Therefore, to increase bank profits, CEOs should aim to improve bank management, capital structure and solvency, rather than to add more branch offices.

Interest Margin

Objectives of this study were to examine the capital structure pattern of Sri Lankan commercial banks and to investigate the influence of capital structure pattern on net interest margin of commercial banks in Sri Lanka. This study was conducted with 10 licensed commercial banks which were listed in Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE), Sri Lanka. Panel data analysis was used to carry out the empirical study and data were extracted from the annual reports of selected companies for the ten years period from 2007 to 2016. Capital structure patterns of licensed commercial banks were measured by total debt to total assets ratio, long term debt to total assets ratio, and short term debt to total assets ratio. Net Interest Margin (NIM) was measured by net interest income to average earnings assets ratio. NIM specifies the cost and efficiency of financial intermediation by banks. Size of the banks and growth in banks deposit were considered as control variables. Descriptive statistics, correlation, pooled, fixed effect and random effect models were used for the data analysis. According to the descriptive statistics, present study found that commercial banks had lower leveraged capital structure pattern in Sri Lanka. F test was performed to diagnose the time fixed effect in the fixed effect model and outcome of the test revealed that p value was less than 0.05. Therefore, null hypothesis was rejected and fixed effect model was most appropriate than pooled OLS. Further, Lagrange Multiplier test for random effect was performed. The result indicated that the p value was 0.000 and rejected the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative which implied that random effect model was more appropriate than pooled OLS. Therefore, Hausman Specification test was performed to find out whether fixed or random effect model is suitable to examine the relationship between capital structure and NIM. Fixed effect model was considered as the most suitable model to examine the relationship between capital structure and NIM in this study. As per the result of fixed effect model, total debt to total assets ratio and long term debt to total asset ratio were significantly negatively related to NIM. Short term debt to total assets ratio, and size were not significantly related NIM. Results of the study suggest that financial managers should try to finance from retained earnings rather than relying heavily on debt capital in their capital structure. Outcome of the study may useful to the practitioners, investors and decision makers in order to maximize their return from their investments.
