Capital structure decisions are common across firms, yet capital structure theories lack a consensus on how much of debt capital firms should use to finance their operations. The main objective of this study was to investigate the bi-directional relationship between capital structure and financial performance of firms listed on the NSE. The study used canonical correlation technique to determine the bi-directional relationship between capital structure and performance. The result revealed that dominant capital structure indicator to be used in an analysis to predict performance is the total debt to the total asset ratio. In the case of performance, the two variables that relate to capital structure are book value to market value ratio and asset turnover ratio. The results support the conclusion that a bidirectional relationship exists between capital structure and debt capital.

The Relationship

This study investigates the existence of an optimal capital structure for small and medium enterprise (SME) hotels through the analysis of the relationship between financing decisions and financial performance in a large sample of Italian hotel SMEs. The results show that hotel SMEs face an optimal capital structure that allows them to maximize returns to investors, while instead having both too little and too much debt reduces their financial performance. This notwithstanding, we show that hotel SMEs are not particularly concerned with optimizing their capital structure, and their funding behavior is deeply connected with the availability of internally available funds, a typical pecking order behavior, and they result extremely slow in converging toward their optimal level of leverage so that they could improve their performance by adopting a more sophisticated financial strategy.

The objective of this paper is to analyze the capital structure, the concentration of property and the policy of dividends as determinants of the problems of agency in Chilean companies. As a measure of agency costs, the asset turnover ratio was used as a benchmark for management efficiency in the use of the company's assets, which is an inverse measure of agency costs. The results show that a higher level of indebtedness seems to favor the discretional behavior of managers. However, there is also evidence that when the debt is a short-term debt, the divergence of interest decreases between shareholders and managers. The concentration of property on the other hand has a non-linear effect on the costs of agency, which means that, first, it acts as a mechanism to attenuate managerial discretion, but when it reaches a certain level, an effect of expropriation of major shareholders over minor shareholders seems to be produced. In relation to the dividend policy, a positive relationship is observed with efficiency in the use of assets, mainly in the presence of high growth opportunities.

ABSTRACTCovid-19 Pandemic has caused massive changes. Lockdown policy set by the government to suppress the rate of transmission of the virus has had huge impact on the economy. Many companies must suffer losses, even have to declare bankruptcy. Operational activities had been limited that caused the company no longer being able to rely on internal funding to finance its business. The company is faced with a choice of external funding decisions, that is increasing debt (on liability side) or issue shares (on the equity side). This study aims to examine the effect of capital structure during the pandemic on financial performance. This research conducted on 121 companies from consumer non-cyclicals, transportation & logistic, and banking sector listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange. The results show that during the pandemic companies tend to prefer to increase debt than equity. Further testing shows that the companies with dominant debt capital structure have positive effect on financial performance. Meanwhile, the companies with a dominant equity capital structure have no significant effect.Keywords: debt, equity, financial performance, pandemicABSTRAKPandemi Covid-19 menyebabkan perubahan yang sangat masif. Kebijakan lockdown yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah untuk menekan laju penularan virus memberikan dampak yang sangat besar bagi perekonomian. Banyak perusahaan yang harus mengalami kerugian, bahkan harus mengumumkan kebangkrutan. Kegiatan operasional perusahaan yang terbatas mengakibatkan perusahaan tidak lagi dapat mengandalkan pendanaan internal untuk membiayai usahanya. Perusahaan dihadapkan pilihan keputusan pendanaan eksternal, yaitu menambah utang (di sisi liabilitas) atau menerbitkan saham (di sisi ekuitas). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh struktur modal di masa pandemi terhadap kinerja keuangan. Pengujian dilakukan ke 121 perusahaan dari perusahaan sektor barang konsumen non-primer, transport dan logistik, dan perbankan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa di masa pandemi, perusahaan cenderung lebih memilih menambah utang dibandingkan ekuitas. Pengujian lebih lanjut menunjukkan bahwa sampel perusahaan dengan struktur modal dominan utang menunjukkan hasil berpengaruh positif pada kinerja keuangan. Sedangkan pada sampel perusahaan dengan struktur modal dominan ekuitas menunjukkan hasil tidak signifikan.Kata kunci: ekuitas, kinerja keuangan, pandemi, utang

This paper aims to empirically investigate the impact of capital structure choice on the firm performance of the firms listed under the Dhaka Stock Exchange of Bangladesh. Multiple regression has been employed in this research to determine the relationship between the capital structure and the firm’s financial performance. Three ratios of financial performance, i.e., return on assets, return on equity, and gross margin, have been used as a sample of non-financial Bangladeshi companies, selected from 2010 to 2015. The study records numerous findings. First, the result shows a significant negative influence of long-term debt (LTD) and total debt (TTD) on firm financial performance measured by return on assets (ROA), but no significant relationship is found between short-term debt (STD) and this measure of firm’s financial performance. Moreover, the research found that there is no significant effect of short-term debt, long-term debt and total debt on the firm financial performance measured by return on equity (ROE). Finally, the result shows that a significant negative influence of short-term debt and total debt on firm performance measured by GM, but no significant relationship was found between long-term debt and financial performance. In general terms, the results of this study may suggest that capital structure has a negative influence on firms’ financial performance in Bangladesh.

The aim of performing this research is to find out financial ratios impact on financial performance of GATM and NML to evaluate which company is performing better.. This research was important because of the problems, they both are competitors and the investor should what are their positions and performance it is important for the companies too through which they can identify which ratios to be considered while evaluating financial performance. For the purpose of this research, I collected the data of 2 companies GATM and NML from Standard capital security website and from firm’s annual reports for the period starting from 2003 to 2017. Furthermore, I considered two measures of financial performance, which are return on asset. and return on equity. I also considered liquidity position which  is measured by current ratio, quick ratio, total asset turnover, fixed asset turnover, inventory turnover) and solvency position by debt to equity debt to total asset and interest coverage ratio, which according to previous researches and conditional theories have adequate impact on financial performance. The findings of this research suggest that current ratio, quick ratio and inventory were the major determinant of liquidity and for no determinant has significant impact and the researches should consider other variable than studied for solvency. The result also shows that both companies are performing better but NML liquidity position is better than NML also both companies ROE and fixed asset turnover shows insignificant difference rest are significant.
