This study assesses the competitiveness of the fats and oils sector in Colombia in 2019 using a peer group approach. The analysis is applied to 13 companies in the sector classified as individual small- and medium-sized enterprises. The main findings were developed considering the reports of the Superintendence of Companies in 2020. The methodology used is a competitiveness analysis supported by financial indicators and the data envelopment analysis under the Charnes, Cooper & Rhones -CCR- model, considering the value of assets and revenues as input and profitability indexes (operating margin, return on assets, and return on equity) as output. The companies that are efficient and should be role models were identified. The main findings were the low attractiveness of the sector with 0.253 (it should be greater than 1 and grow over time), the business success level according to which a company located in the Department of Casanare is the leader, and the relationship between the variables that reflects an average technical efficiency of 0.7162 (on a scale of 0 to 1). Of all the companies, three are referents for the achievement of technical efficiency owing to the best use of the model input resources

This research is carried out in the backdrop of increasing product quality and environmental degradation scandals associated with Chinese Pharmaceuticals in recent years. We examined the data of 125 Chinese Pharmaceuticals between 2010–2016 to investigate the impact of overall corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance as well as the performance on five unique aspects of CSR such as shareholders, employees, customers and suppliers, environmental practices, and the society to gauge the impact of these individual dimensions on the firm’s financial performance. The Hexun rating system is used to gauge a firm’s CSR performance on various stakeholder dimensions as it is one of the widely accepted CSR measurement criteria in China. The firm performance is measured by Tobin’s Q, return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), and earnings per share (EPS) ratios. The outcome of the panel-based regression models reveals that the overall CSR score has a positive and significant influence on a firm’s financial indicators. Moreover, although all the CSR dimensions relate positively to firm performance, the environmental aspect of CSR has the most profound impact on firm performance followed by customers and suppliers, and employees. However, the shareholders and social dimensions have a relatively lesser influence on firm performance. These results imply that Chinese Pharmaceuticals shall further optimize each aspect of CSR performance as it can not only create a favorable brand image for various stakeholders but also results in sustainable financial performance.

The article is devoted to studying the evaluation of the determinant factors of the value of state-owned companies, which present the competitive and investment-attractive segment of the economy with high export potential. There are considered the applied aspects of the problem and the influence of financial and non-financial factors on the value of companies, such as: return on assets, return on equity, return on invested capital, leverage, earnings per share, dividends per share, company size, company age, share of fixed assets. The research hypothesis that the selected determinants are significant and affect the value of companies with state participation are examined. The analysis is based on data from public reports of Russian producing and processing companies. The sample includes the data for 2010-2019. Companies with state participation and industry affiliation were selected; a database of indicators of financial statements of selected companies was formed; the financial indicators-factors have been calculated; the relationship of factors with the resulting indicator is determined. It has been inferred that the determinants “earnings per share” and “net working capital” are statistically significant and have an impact on the enterprise value in the industry under study

This paper empirically analyzes the profitability of the four Islamic banks operating in the UAE during the financial period between 2004 and 2009 using three profitability indicators, return on total income, return on assets and return on equity. The researcher uses a variety of techniques, equality of means, coefficient of variation and Anova analysis to assess the effect of the financial crisis on the performance of the four specified banks. The findings show that although the financial crisis began in the 3rd quarter of 2007, its impact on the profitability of Islamic banks was most profound in 2008 and 2009 where there was a notable decline in all analyzed financial indicators. Moreover, the three indicators held a higher variability rate during the crisis years spanning 2008 to 2009 in stark contrast with the pre-crisis rates of the period spanning 2004 to 2007. Anova analysis across the four banks show significant differences between the mean of most indicators, suggesting varying performance under the adverse conditions present during the recession.

The purpose of this study is to explore the main differences in key variables of winemaking companies in view of their consideration as a family business in Spain. Using a database of 520 wineries with the main variables used in the literature, this paper analyses the differences between being a family or a non-family winery on the performance, size and structure of debt. The companies were classified as family or non-family then a means test was performed for all key variables between both groups. This study suggests that there are significant differences between family and non-family businesses in the return on assets (ROA) and in the operating margin, which are higher in the case of companies classified as family businesses and in the relative debt and debt ratio, which are higher in companies considered to be non-family. The remaining variables are statistically equal. Better margins in family companies could be due to advantages in the prices derived from the products or brands offered or lower agency costs that may lead to an improvement in management costs, which explains such differences. In addition, the lower risk exposure that would lead family businesses to opt for less risky leverage formulas that would lead to increased long-term financing could explain why these advantages are not reflected in the return on equity (ROE).

This study examined the effect of cost, productivity of assets and capital structure of an automotive company's profitability. This study focuses on the productivity of assets which include factors such as operating leverage, sales, inventory turnover, net working capital, liquidity, receivable collection, fixed asset ratio, and total asset turnover. Capital Structure includes the degree of financial leverage. Profitability factor in this study includes operating margin, return on assets and return on equity. Sample used are 45 automotive industry companies who have registered and still active until December 31, 2009. The statistical methods used in this research are classical assumption test, f test and t test. This study indicates that inventory turns, liquidity, receivable collections and, the ratio of fixed assets have a negative outcome to the total asset turnover, while net working capital has a positive outcome. Operating margin and total asset turnover both have positive values that have an impact on return on assets. Capital structure and degree of operating leverage both have negative results on the turnover of capital, while return on assets have positive results.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the technical efficiency in the Jordan insurance market and examine the internal and external determinants that appear to affect the technical efficiency of the insurance companies. Design/methodology/approach The study used panel data for 22 insurance companies operating inside Jordan over the period 2000–2016. The author used the data envelopment analysis to evaluate the technical efficiency scores, slacks-based and logit models to examine the efficiency determinants. Findings The study found that there is a slight development of technical efficiency for the Jordanian insurance companies during the study period. In addition, there is a substantial efficiency difference among insurance companies each year, and there is a variation at the level of efficiency for each company in each year. The results also showed that owners’ equities are among the most important internal determinants of companies’ efficiency, and there is a significant correlation between type, size and return on assets of the insurer and its efficiency. Originality/value This study provides insurance management with relevant indicators that would guide them to make efficient use of the resource base. The period of study also covers the period following the adoption of the insurance law and the issuance of most of the legislation related to the work of insurance companies.

The purpose of the study is firstly to use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to aggregate the overall performance (technical efficiency) of firms to convert scarce resources into outputs that create wealth for shareholders, and secondly, to determine the degree to which this mentioned performance is reflected in a number of profitability and market value ratios. Annual financial statement data were used for 55 manufacturing companies listed on the JSE Limited over a five-year period in a cross-sectional analysis. The study found that return on equity has the most significant relationship with technical efficiency, followed by return on assets. The market value ratios price/earnings and dividend yield have no significant relationship with technical efficiency. The value of this study is that it is the first of its kind where technical efficiency, which aggregated operating, profitability and marketability efficiencies, is used to determine the relative importance of not only the readily available profitability ratios, but also market value ratios.

<p>We investigate the relationship between cash conversion cycle (CCC) management and value creation. We extend a standard working capital management model to establish measurable hypotheses for privately owned companies in Brazil. We define hypotheses that relate profitability measures, such as return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE), and the cash conversion cycle of a panel data sample of 318 Brazilian companies with available data for at least 8 of 9 fiscal years between 2009 and 2017. We estimate these relationships via generalized methods of moments (GMM) to deal with endogeneity among accounting variables. Evidence indicates that lower C2C improves ROA but not ROE. Additional assumptions included: (1) companies with a negative CCC tend to grow faster; (2) more indebted companies manage their cash-flow better; (3) smaller companies have a longer CCC; and (4) companies with longer CCC have higher operating margin. Evidence is that only ROA is related to cost of debt, and that total debt is the only variable that helps explain revenue growth (which probably captures firm size as well). Still, without the ability to issue more debt, companies are restricted in growing sales. Finally, and unexpectedly, we find that lower CCC indicates higher operating margin.</p>
