This study investigates the effect of Leverage, Total deposit to total assets, Total loans to total assets, Retained earnings to total assets, and Tangible book value per share ratios on banks’ financial performance for Return on Assets (ROA) as the dependent variable. The data were obtained from the financial statement (Income statement and Balance sheet) of the selected banks. The results were found by analyzing the financial ratios of five commercial banks in Al-Kuwait throughout five years (2013–2017). We used analytical methods which led us to the presented results. MANOVA and ANOVA analysis were used to show the difference between banks in their financial situation and performance, and then the panel regression model used to study relationships among variables. The Hausman test was applied to compare fixed and random effect models which were shown that the random effect model gives the better result. Our findings show that the independent variables “Total deposit” to “total assets” and “Retained earnings” to “total assets” have a strong significant impact on our dependent variable ROA. “Leverage” and “Total loans” to “total assets” have a less significant effect on the banks’ financial performance (ROA) while Tangible book value per share does not affect the ROA.

The study sought to assess the financial performance of the companies listed in the commercial and services sector at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), Kenya with an aim of determining the implications of firm size and operational risk on their performance. It was anchored on the agency theory. The study applied explanatory research design and the target population was the 14 companies listed under this sector. Secondary panel data contained in published annual reports for the year 2013 to 2017 was collected. A panel regression model was applied with the random effect model being used based on the Hausman specification test. Findings showed that operational risk had a positive insignificant effect on performance as proxied by return on assets (ROA). The findings further showed that firm size had a moderating effect on the relationship between operational risks and performance. It concluded that firm size played a role in the risk management of a company i.e. companies with higher total assets managed risk better than their counterpart. The study recommends that for companies to record improved financial performance, they needed to manage their operational risks by implementing risk management initiatives and increasing their total assets base.

Purpose: This study analyzes the effect of macroeconomic indicators such as domestic products, interest rate, inflation rate, and unemployment rate on the financial performance of commercial banks in Nepal. Design/Methodology: Five top commercial banks based on the financial performance were selected with stratified sampling, with secondary data of ten years. Hausman test was used to examine the endogeneity issue in the predictor variables and the effect of predicators on financial performance were estimated using OLS estimation (random effect model). Findings: The study result revealed significant influence of macroeconomic factors except the unemployment rate for estimating ROE of commercial banks in Nepal while no significant impact was revealed for ROA. Among the significant variables, GDP contributes more in predicting the financial performance of commercial banks in Nepal. Implication: As the study found significant role of macroeconomic variables to estimate ROE, bank administrators, government officials, and investors can focus in such variables, especially in GDP for competitive financial performance. They need to develop products based on macroeconomic variables. Besides, this study finds and tries to mitigate the gap in findings of previous empirical studies. Originality/value: This study contributes to the literature on macroeconomic determinants predicting financial performance of banks, more specifically in finding the gap in determining ROA and ROE within the country specific issue.

The data analysis technique used in this research is the Altman Z-Score with the criteria for bankruptcy and to find its effect with the panel data regression model assisted by E-Views software. The results of the calculation and analysis of the Z-Score criteria in cement companies in Indonesia, it is known that there is no cement company whose company finances are stated in a healthy condition. One company is prone to bankruptcy (gray zone) while the rest according to the Z-Score criteria are bankrupt. Furthermore, based on the panel data regression examiner simultaneously the five independent variables on financial performance (Y), while partially the working capital ratio to total assets (X1) affects financial performance (Y), the retained earnings ratio to total assets (X2) has no effect on Financial performance (Y), EBIT ratio to total assets (X3) affects financial performance (Y), stock market value ratio to book value of liabilities (X4) has no effect on financial performance (Y), Sales to Total Assets ratio (X5) affect financial performance.

Relevance. Most small-sized firms have little or no access to credit markets, which is why they prefer equity financing and usually pay higher dividends on this equity. When paying higher dividends, these small-sized debt-free firms continue to build a reputation in the markets. Research objective. The analysis focuses on the trade payables that impact shareholder equity. In Pakistan, most of the businesses are small and middle-sized. Most of the Pakistani SMEs have a low capital structure and these enterprises depend on their daily business needs, so equity financing is their primary source of funding. Data and Methods. The data source for our study is the financial statements of non-financial firms (in total, 156 firms) from the balance Sheet Analysis (BSA) and the Financial Statement Analysis (FSA) published by The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). The financial statements also provide the data listed by the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). The data cover the period from 2001 to 2017. This study primarily relies on the panel data model. The study applied the methods of descriptive analysis, correlation matrix, common regression model, fixed effect model, random effect model and then the Hausman test was performed to choose the best model. Results. The results of the study indicate a positive and significant relationship between shareholder equity and trade credit demand. Conclusion. Many investors require trade credit as a suitable tool for the growth of shareholders of the company. It is also used in many types of business schemes as the shareholder equity factor plays a role in profit generation through the use of trade credit transactions.

Testing is done with the first models prerequisite analysis, testing normality with the overall result is a variable based test One Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test indicated that the model in an abnormal position with evidence of significant data α > 0.05. Second, the test results with the results multikolinieritas with VIF < 10 and the tolerance level of > 0.1 indicates that our model is free from the problems of multicollinearity. This is consistent with the assumption multinomial logit analysis that does not require the classical assumption that multinomial logit analysis can proceed. The results of this study are the calculations that have been done, that there are 10 companies in the category of Grey Area and 5 companies in the category is not bankrupt. Seen as a whole has a classification of 95%, while the remaining 5% indicates that bankruptcy is explained by other variables other than those examined in this study In this study the variable ratio of Book Value of Equity to Book Value of Total Debt and Sales to Total Assets have influence significantly to the bankruptcy analysis. So that this research model is Z-Score = Ln (P1/P0) = -149.589 + 117,603BVEBVD + 33,029STA and Z-Score = Ln (P2/P0) = -117.301 + 111,623BVEBVD + 21,657STA Keywords: Bankruptcy, Multinomial Logit Analysis, Financial Ratios Altman Z-Score Model Of Revision.
