The Impact

The Infrastructure Industry has become the focus of the state expenditure budget during the Joko Widodo-Jusuf Kalla presidency. This is due to the importance of infrastructure in assisting the sustainability of a country's development, but the fact is that government funds as a source of infrastructure funds are delayed when the company has acquired a new project resulting in the use of debt in infrastructure companies as a capital structure to run the new project. The study identifies examination on the impact of capital structure determinants on firm financial performance of Indonesia’s Infrastructure Companies listed over the period of 2014-2018. Determination of the number of samples in this study using non-probability sampling, specifically purposive sampling method. The study uses one capital structure measures (Leverage) as dependent variable and four performance measures (including company’s size, the tangibility of asset, liquidity, and asset turnover) as independent variables and proceed using multiple regression model. The result indicates that liquidity has a significantly negative relationship to leverage, meanwhile company’s size, the tangibility of asset, and asset turnover are not significantly related to the level of debt in infrastructure companies in Indonesia, however, it goes along with the way of thinking in the Pecking Order Theory.

The article attempts to address the descendants especially in case of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) who do business with humongous constraints and largely manage the functions with own skills rather than relying on theories of finance. The study gives a deep insight on the pattern of financing of listed SMEs in India based on the financial information of 428 SMEs and further analysis of financial statements being conducted by generating financial ratios and debt components during the year 2014–2018. The study has been conducted under the reference of different capital structure theories and results have found to be significant in line with the pecking order theory, that is, SMEs utilise profit to ease their debt level and emerging organisations deploy more debt since they require more funds. The startling observation comes in terms of size where SMEs are found to be relatively small and less dependent on external financing to increase the size of the company due to the negative relationship resulting from the analysis of all forms of debt, this result is in nonconformity with the other studies done on the SMEs of developed economies. Informational asymmetry prevails in the Indian SMEs due to smaller size and more control in the hands of few managers. Growth as a parameter has shown reliance on short-term debt for overall financing of the business operations. Overall, study concludes that financing condition of the SMEs in India is still in nascent stages and new avenues of financing must be explored to solve the problems of financing in India.

AbstractWe examine the impact of explicitly incorporating a measure of debt capacity in recent tests of competing theories of capital structure. Our main results are that if external funds are required, in the absence of debt capacity concerns, debt appears to be preferred to equity. Concerns over debt capacity largely explain the use of new external equity financing by publicly traded firms. Finally, we present evidence that reconciles the frequent equity issues by small, high-growth firms with the pecking order. After accounting for debt capacity, the pecking order theory appears to give a good description of financing behavior for a large sample of firms examined over an extended time period.

The Capital Structure

This paper presents an empirical study of the capital structure of Portuguese companies where the main objective is to find key explanatory factors for indebtedness decisions. The relations between indebtedness and its determinants are tested in the light of the Trade-Off Theory and the Pecking-Order Theory. The motivation of this work was to contribute to the scientific research on the influential determinants of the capital structure and to deepen the knowledge of the Portuguese market. The quantitative methodology is used, through an econometric model for panel data using accounting information of 55 Portuguese companies between 2014 and 2016. Statistical tests such as the F test, the Lagrange Multiplier Breusch-Pagan test and the Hausman test were used to identify the most appropriate method of estimation, which resulted in a panel data model with random effects for individuals. The findings of this study suggest that indebtedness have a positive relation with tangibility and the size of the company, which supports the Trade-Off Theory. However, the positive relationship with the non-debt tax benefits suggests the importance of taxes, contrary to Trade-Off Theory. The negative relationship with cash flows, coupled with the positive relationships between size and growth opportunities, suggest the use of funding only when internal funds become insufficient, supporting the Pecking-Order Theory. The general results support that both theories partially explain the financing decisions of Portuguese companies. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2020-01249 Full Text: PDF

The question of debt-equity choice has so far been widely discussed in literature. The aim of the paper is to analyse the determinants of capital structure of Polish enterprises. We analysed factors that may impact the indebtedness. This analysis fills in the gap in worldwide studies with the case of a country representing the group of „emerging markets”. The paper examines capital structure determinants of non-financial companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. We used five independent variables compatible with the up-to-date achievements in the field. The results indicate that there is an evidence of a significant negative relationship between the size of a company, its growth rate, profitability, tangibility and the level of total debt. The study shows positive relationship between growth prospects of the company and the debt level. The results of the study indicate that the pecking order theory better explains the changes in indebtedness of analysed companies than other capital structure theories. Obtained results are mostly consistent with earlier studies conducted in the Poland and with studies in Western economies.

The Impact

This study investigates the impact of 2007 financial crisis on the performance of capital structure of 88 non-financial companies listed on National Stock Exchange of India during the period between January 2003 to May 2014 by using Fixed Effect (FE) and Random Effect (RE) Models. The study has divided the data period into two distinct time intervals: (2003 -2007) as “pre-crisis” periods and (2008 – 2014) as “post-crisis” periods. The determinants of capital structure such as size, liquidity, profitability, and tangibility are used in the analysis. The findings show that tangibility and size have a greater influence on capital structure decision before crisis period. The findings also show that the coefficient of profitability is negative, displaying an inverse relationship with leverage. The study concludes that pecking order theory has more explanatory power in comparison to other theories in explaining the factors that determine the capital structure decision of listed firms of India.

The Capital Structure

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine whether the basic premises according to the pecking order theory (POT) provide an explanation for the capital structure mix of firms operating under Islamic principles. Design/methodology/approach Pooled ordinary least squares, fixed and random effects regressions were performed to test the POT applying data from a sample of 66 Islamic-compliant firms listed on Saudi Stock Market over the period 2006–2016. Findings The results show that sale-based instruments (Murabahah, Ijara) track the financial deficit quite closely followed by equity financing and as a last alternative to finance deficit, Islamic-compliant firms issue Sukuk. In the crisis period, these firms seem more reliant on equity, then on sale-based instruments and on Sukuk as last option. The study findings also indicate that the cumulative financing deficit does not wipe out the effects of conventional variables, although it is empirically significant. This provides no support for the POT attempts by Saudi Islamic-compliant firms Research limitations/implications This research contributes to the theory of capital structure in re-validating the findings of a previous theoretical and empirical study. It helps understand the capital structure of Islamic-compliant firms in comparison with conventional firms. It highlights some areas where further research on topics related to capital structure of Islamic-compliant firms is needed. The failure of the POT to explain Saudi firms’ financing choices strongly pushed researchers to test the market timing theory for the Saudi Stock Market. Further research studies could re-examine the trade-off theory in the absence of interest tax shield as in an Islamic economy. Practical implications From a managerial perspective, this research can serve firm executive managers in their financing decisions to add value to the companies. Furthermore, policymakers, bankers and standard-setting organizations should undertake more collective work to simplify the process of issuing Islamic financial instruments including Sukuk. Moreover, the Saudi Government has to encourage the private sector to be more innovative in developing products and services that are in line with Sharia principles. Finally, to attract investors, the Capital Market Authority has to encourage transaction, efficiency and liquidity of Islamic financial instruments. Originality/value The proposed study presents several originalities. First, it explores the implications of relevant Islamic principles on financing preferences of Saudi firms. Second, the present study enables us to investigate what the sudden abundance of liquidity, generated by the record levels of oil prices, implied for the firms’ financing behavior. Finally, it provides further evidence on the impact of financial crisis on the firms’ capital structure choice in a period of considerable slowdown in the world.

The Capital Structure

This study contributes to the capital structure literature by investigating the determinants of capital structure of firms listed in NSE CNX 500. The period of the study is 2008–2015, the period starting from the year of global slowdown. This study is an attempt to study the capital structure of firms listed in National Stock Exchange in the post liberalization period. The objectives of the study are to study the impact of independent variables such as growth, profitability, tangibility, liquidity, size and non-debt tax shield on financial leverage and also to find out whether the results are in line with the pecking order theory or the trade-off theory of capital structure. Size is taken as a control variable. Our study supports the trade-off theory for all variables such as growth, profitability, size tangibility and non-debt tax shield. Liquidity is the only independent variable that goes in accordance with the pecking order theory. Thus, this study is more inclined towards the trade-off theory.

The Relationship

The article examines and analyzes the relationship of key performance indicators (ROA, ROIC, change in market capitalization and price-to-book ratio) and the capital structure of the company based on the pharmaceutical industry in the UK for the 2009-2019 period. The study seeks to provide a practical evidence on the impact of external financing on company’s financial performance and test applicability of the pecking order theory for the chosen companies. The research conducted uses panel data regression and Wald test to determine and analyze the effect of capital structure on the financial indicators of the company performance. The study used a sample of 185 UK companies from the pharmaceutical industry. The result of the research showed that equity has negative effect on price-to-book ratio and ROA and positive effect on change in market capitalization, while long-term debt has a positive relationship with price- to-book ratio and change in market capitalization. In addition, short-term debt has a negative effect on change in market capitalization, ROA and ROIC. The study also provides only partly coincidence of the results with the pecking order theory.

This paper investigates the behavior of firm characteristics on capital structure in firms in the MENA region. The outcomes of this research are important to bridge the gap between the theory and the practical decisions related to capital structure. The research studies the impact of firm characteristics on levels of debt from three different perspectives; short-term debt, long-term debt, and total debt. The study is applied to 416 firms from nine countries of the MENA region (Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Kuwait, Egypt, Jordan, and Tunisia) over some time from 2007-2016. Various econometrics techniques are used to reinforce the generated results. The results show that a firm's profitability and liquidity levels have a significant inverse impact on leverage, whereas; firm's size has a direct impact. The empirical results also show that asset tangibility and market value impact leverage differently depending on the type of debt used. Overall, the results reinforce the importance of both the pecking order theory as well as the trade-off theory in explaining capital structure decisions in the MENA region, with the results being more significant concerning the pecking order theory.

The Impact

Seeking for the optimal capital structure lasts for more than 50 years and still is very topical, especially during the market turmoil as it happened in 2008. No perfect answer is yet provided to the question of how large debt amount should be kept on the accounts. The main objective of the present paper is to analyze the impact of capital structure decisions on the equity performance and on the profitability of the companies located in Baltics. The study covered the time period of 4 years (from 2007 till 2010) and the sample data of 36 “blue-chip” companies listed on the Baltic Stock exchanges. The results of the study discover positive relationship between stock performance and sufficiency of equity capital. Besides, there was found an inverse relationship between the level of debt and capital profitability confirming the pecking order theory that in the best case the company should use self-generated funds. Santrauka Optimalios kapitalo struktūros siekiama daugiau nei 50 metų ir tai vis dar yra labai aktualu, ypač per finansų krizę, įvykusią 2008 m. Kol kas nėra gauta galutinio atsakymo į klausimą – kokio dydžio skola turi būti laikoma sąskaitose. Pagrindinis šio straipsnio tikslas – išnagrinėti kapitalo struktūros sprendimų įtaką akcijų rinkai ir Baltijos šalių įmonių pelningumui. Tyrimas apėmė ketverių metų laikotarpį (nuo 2007 m. iki 2010 m.) ir 36 patikimiausių akcijų ,,blue chips“ duomenų, įtrauktų į Baltijos vertybinių popierių biržų sąrašus, pavyzdžius. Atlikus tyrimą nustatytas teigiamas ryšys tarp akcijų ir akcinio kapitalo pakankamumo. Be to, buvo nustatytas atvirkštinis ryšys tarp skolos lygio ir kapitalo pelningumo, patvirtinančio kapojimo kvotos teoriją, kad geriausiu atveju kompanija panaudos savo sukuriamus išteklius.
