Abstract: One problem often encountered by management in the shipping industry companies in Indonesia are financial problems, because it collided with the availability of working capital which the company cannot be operated because the funds will be used for the purchase of raw materials and to give employees salary.This research analyzes the influence of financial condition consisting of working capital, asset structure, operating leverage, and sales growth on the firm profitability as well as on its non financial performance of ship building companies in Indonesia. By employing the multiple regression, the result of the estimation showed that among those variables underlined, working capital, asset structure, and sales growth proved to be significantly affecting the firm profitability and its nonfinancial performance, meanwhile the operating leverage has been proved non-significant. This research concludes that the management should pay more attention on working capital and the asset structure being the predominant variable, besides its asset structure and the sales growth, affecting the ship building companies performance in Indonesia. Shipping companies can grow and expand. To be able to increase profitability by increasing the shipping company's own capital and reducing a portion of the shipping company, the more active equity and profitability will also be good. On the other hand if it continues to rely on capital from outside, it will cause emergence of interest expense to be borne by the shipping company. Keyword: Working Capital, Asset Structure, Operating Leverage, Sales Growth, Profitability, Non-Financial Performance.

Financial performance is one of the basic indicators that investors and creditors check in accessing the performance of firms. The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the impact of economic indicators on financial performance of quoted non-financial firms on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE). The study focuses on the impact of RealGDP, Exchange rate, Inflation, Unemployment and Interest rate as determinant of economic indicators whereas Sales growth, Company size, Leverage and Efficiency from firms specific are used as controlled variables in checking the effect of these indicators on financial performance of these firms. ROA and ROE were used as proxies for financial performance of the listed firms. The study employed a panel data of 21 listed non-financial firms from the period of 2008 to 2017. The result revealed that Real GDP and inflation have significant positive impact on ROE. On the contrarily, economic indicators used for this study showed no level of significance with ROA. Company size recorded positive and negative significant impact on ROA and ROE respectively, sales growth and efficiency were statistically significant with ROA. The study recommends government and regulatory authorities to come out with good policies that will help boost the economic activities in the country and drop inflation rate since they have the tendency of affecting non-financial firms’ performance. Moreover, management must ensure full utilization of its internal resources by focusing on diversification and expansion since company size, efficiency and sales growth affect the return on assets and equity of firms. In addition, management should warily consider inflation rate when making financial decision due to its impact on financial performance.
