Abstract The idea that working capital management impacts profitability and risk of a company is generally accepted and in last 10-15 years has acquired a substantial interest. Accordingly, from the aspect of the measure of efficiency of working capital management, the objective of this paper is to evaluate working capital management impact on profitability of Croatian software companies. This impact was examined using descriptive and correlation as well as panel regression analysis for six-year period (2008-2013). The results show that after controlling for characteristics of the company and macroeconomic conditions working capital management significantly affects the profitability of Croatian software firms. Moreover, the results imply the existence of a nonlinear, concave quadratic relationship between the net working capital and return on assets. This suggest the existence of an optimal level of net working capital that balances costs and benefits and maximizes profitability of analysed companies.

This article provides the assessment of the impact of the buyer company’s financial position on the M&A effectiveness on the base of the pharmaceutical industry. We have estimated this correlation using OLS method and data for the period from 2005 to 2017. As a result, the hypothesis about the dependence of the M&A efficiency from the buyer company’s financial state has been confirmed. The developed econometric model have showed that more than 80% of variation of the cumulative abnormal return, received as a result of the transaction, is explained by growth rates of revenues and net profit, assets, current liquidity, autonomy and financial leverage, return of sales and assets at the transaction time.

It is commonly known that in the capital market, not all stocks of companies that have a good profile will provide good returns to investors. Therefore, an in-depth analysis of the companies’ overall health is needed. This study aims to discuss the impact of companies’ internal factors on the performance of their stock returns. The companies meant here are those listed in the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII). The tool by which the data is analysed is panel data which is a combination of time series data and cross section. By employing companies’data of year 2014-2016, the study shows that Return On Assets (ROA), Net Profit Margin (NPM), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) and Price to Book Value (PBV) simultaneously had a significant effect on the formation of stock returns of companies listed in the JII. Likewise, those four variables namely; ROA, NPM, DER and PBV partially have a significant effect on the formation of stock returns of companies listed in the JII.

The unceasing apprehension of probable distress of commercial banks in Nigeria has raised concerns on the quality of current assets investment and management in the Nigerian banking industry. Hence, the study analyzed the impact of current assets investment & management on corporate financial returns of listed commercial banks in Nigeria. The longitudinal research design was adopted and secondary data of eight (8) banks whose annual reports were available as at the end of 2016 was randomly selected from the population of fifteen (15) listed deposit money banks in the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Ordinary least square (OLS) regression analysis was employed to determine the association between current assets investment and corporate financial returns. The results of the study indicate that there exist a significant positive relationship between loans and advances granted to customers and return on assets (r =.443, p-value =.004). This leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis, which states that loans and advances granted to customers have no positive influence on return on assets. The relationship between loans and advances granted to other banks and return on assets is negative and significant at 5% confidence level (r = .369, p-value =.019).This leads to the non-rejection of the null hypothesis, which states that loans and advances granted to other banks have no positive impact on returns on assets. The other predictor variables (financial assets held for trading & cash, and cash balances) have an insignificant positive relationships with return on assets. It was therefore recommended that bank managers should not only increase their investment in current assets but they should also consider the most effective and efficient way of managing these assets in order to improve their financial efficiency and corporate value. To this end, the conservative or aggressive current assets investments policy might be pursued depending on the strategic focus of the firm.

This study examines the impact of liquidity on Islamic banks’ profitability during the years from 2010 to 2015. The study extracted its data from the annual reports of six Islamic banks in Bahrain that have been in operations on or before 2010 to 2015. The liquidity model is built from four liquidity variables namely cash & due from banks to total assets (CDTA), cash & due from banks to total deposits (CDTD), investment to total assets (INVSTA) and investment to total deposits (INVSTD). According to adjusted R squares profitability variables return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and return on deposits (ROD) are respectively 16.2%, 3.1% and 21.3% dependent on liquidity variables.The results of the study show that CDTD and INVESTD are correlated positively with ROE. In addition, CDTD, INVSTA indicate a negative correlation with ROE. Thus, only INVSTA and INVSTD found to be significant with ROE at 0.05 significant level. Durbin-Watson test shows that the residuals are uncorrelated since its value is approximately very close to 2. However, according to the P-value, the overall liquidity model (Model 2) is not significantly related with ROE. Thus, the null hypothesis (H0) is accepted and the alternative hypothesis is rejected for the ROE. Furthermore, the results in the table show that CDTA and INVESTD are positively correlated with ROD, and negatively with CDTA and INVSTA, and CDTA is the only insignificant variable. CDTD is significantly related with ROD at 10%. Durbin-Watson test shows that the residuals are positive auto - correlated since its value is approximately very close to 1. However, according to the P-value, the overall liquidity model (Model 3), is significantly related with ROD at 1% level.The researcher recommended for further studies to add more liquidity variables to the model so as to enhance and enrich Islamic banks outlook.

How to manage financial performance through the utilization of intellectual capital (IC) is an important issue in the knowledge economy. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of IC on financial performance for manufacturing listed companies in the Chinese context. Financial performance is measured from two distinct aspects: (1) firm profitability, measured through earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), net profit margin (NPM), and gross profit margin (GPM), and (2) corporate return, measured through return on investment (ROI), return on assets (ROA), and return on equity (ROE). The results show a positive relationship between NPM, GPM, ROI, ROA, ROE, and IC (measured through the market-to-book ratio). In addition, the more intangible-intensive manufacturing listed companies exhibit better financial performance. The study provides evidence that higher investment in IC can improve value creation in the emerging economies.
