scholarly journals Impact of Capital Structure on Financial Performance of Selected Multinational Companies in India

Hundreds of studies researching impact of capital structure on financial performance have been carried across the globe. A selected review of some of the latest ones reveal that most of them have been premised on a thin sample size. Ten such recent studies have minimum sample size of 10 organizations, minimum sample size of 237 organizations and a mean sample size of 56 organizations. The sample size choice has been largely ad-hoc not showing any relationship with the size of population. This research takes a scientific approach to study 400 multinational companies from India based on the population of around 5000 listed companies on the Bombay Stock Exchange. Due sectoral representation was given in the sample selected for the study. Here in this study the impact of capital structure on financial output of the selected companies was studied. Before the full-fledged study was carried, a pilot study was carried on the basis of 30 multinational companies. This article presents the conceptual foundations, literature review and findings from the pilot study

This research work is based on the relationship that exists between the capital structure and performance of different sector's firms currently operating in the Pakistan. Capital structure decisions can be considered as the most important financial performance and risk management tools which are available to the companies' management. Capital structure can also play an important role in performance assessment, in performance management and in effective handling of ownership claims. The extensive use and heavy dependence on debt has exposed many companies to potential risk of declined performance and also to the risk of insolvency. This study analyzes the relationship between various capital structure indicators and dependence of financial performance of companies on these indicators using a broad sample covering 202 non-financial firms listed on Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) over the period of 1999-2012. The sample firms are divided into five sectors i.e. Textile, Chemical, Cement, Food and Fuel & Energy. Financial performance of firms is quantified by Return on Assets (ROE), Return on Equity (ROE), Price-Earnings ratio (PE) and Tobin's Q (TQ). The relationship between financial performance measures and capital structure measures i.e. total debt, short term debt and long term debt is estimated using GLS fixed and random effect model. Sector wise comparison shows that majority of the sectors have similar capital structure. The impact of capital structure on the financial performance is also similar across sectors with few variations. Overall the relationship is found to be negative among capital structure and firm performance measured by ROA, ROE and PE except TQ which is positively related to Long Term Debt to total Assets (LTDA). The result of industry wise comparison contributes significantly to the existing stream of knowledge. The results indicate that lower reliance on the debt financing improves the performance of the firm whereas dependence and exposure of debt financing reduce performance. The research can be useful for the management of companies in different sectors that want to improve their performance.

The environmental performance data were drawn from the carbon disclosure project Turkey climate change reports.

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).
