The Impact

We examine the impact of efficient working capital management on market value and profitability. Using secondary data on selected firms from Dhaka Stock Exchange we explore the effects of various working capital components (i.e. cash conversion cycle (CCC), current ratio (CR), current asset to total asset ratio (CATAR), current liabilities to total asset ratio (CLTAR), debt to asset ratio (DTAR), siz,e and growth) to the firm’s performance by looking firm’s value i.e. Tobin’s Q (TQ) and profitability i.e. return on asset (ROA) and return on invested capital (ROIC). Our results show that, for both food and overall manufacturing sectors, there is a significant association between working capital variables and firm’s value & return on assets, but an insignificant association with return on invested capital.

This study focused on the effect of working capital management on the profitability of the listed retail stores in Botswana Stock Exchange for the period 2012-2016. Financial statements of the listed Retail Stores were used as the main source of data. Return on Assets was used as the dependent variable to measure profitability and the components to measure working capital management comprised of Average Collection Period, Inventory Conversion Period, Average Payment Period, Cash Conversion Cycle, Debt, Current and Quick Ratios. Correlation analysis revealed that a few variables were significantly correlated with each other. Average Payment Period and Inventory Conversion Period were found to be positively and significantly correlated and Cash Conversion Cycle was significantly and positively correlated with Inventory Conversion Period.The regression results showed that only three variables out of the seven independent variables were statistically significant, namely Average Payment Period, Current Ratio and Quick Ratio. The remaining four variables were found to be statistically insignificant.  The above findings have implications for the management of the listed retail store in Botswana.

The Impact

This study investigates the impact of working capital management and its components on profitability as a practical aspect, and how is compatible with the theoretical aspect. Besides, it examines other financial factors that may affect profitability by using a sample of Jordanian manufacturing firms listed in the Amman Stock Exchange for the period (2016-2018). Theoretically, manufacturing firms that have been studied have current assets over half of their total assets. Therefore, the working capital management role will be clearer on firm profitability.Practically, the results indicate that there is a significant relationship between the cash conversion cycle, which is considered as a proxy of working capital management, and profitability of the manufacturing firms. This provides an opportunity to create value for shareholders by decreasing receivable accounts and inventory, enhancing the profitability of the firms and reducing the collection period and by adopting effective credit policy.

Working capital is essential for the day-to-day operations of a firm. The study examines the impact of working capital management on the profitability of non-financial firms listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE). Using panel data methodology, the direction and extent of the impact of working capital management on profitability is scrutinised. The regression analysis is based on a panel sample of 39 non-financial firms listed on the ZSE from 2009 to 2013, the period under which the Zimbabwean economy has been operating under the multicurrency system. It was found that there is a positive relationship between debtors’ days and firm’s profitability, a negative relationship between creditors’ days and profitability and a positive relationship between firm’s cash conversion cycle and its profitability. There is some negative relationship between current ratio and profitability, while inventory turnover days and profitability are positively related. Debt to asset ratio as a control variable has a significant negative relationship with firm value and profitability. The results of the study show that for the companies included in the sample, there are mixed effects of the components of working capital on firm performance. Managers can thus create value for shareholders by taking note of the existence of such relationships and take measures that enhance firm profitability.

The Impact

The paper examines the impact of working capital management on corporate profitability through the periods of 2008 to 2012. The total of seven firms listed on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange was studied, using secondary data generated from annual reports and accounts of the sampled companies and the Nigerian Stock Exchange Fact book. The data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics and GLS regression analysis using STATA 11. The study finds a positive relationship among Average Collection Period (ACP), Current Ratio (CR) and the size of the firm (LOGSIZE) with Profitability and a negative relationship with Inventory Turnover Period (ITP), Average Payment Period (APP). The paper therefore recommends that cash collected should be re-invested into short-term investment to generate profits and fund left idle in the cash or excessive liquidity is costly and do not lead to profitability.

Working Capital Management (WCM) is one of the key facets of financial management and organization management, for the direct effect it has on company liquidity and profitability. There is a probability of bankruptcy for companies with poor working capital management despite generation of positive return. Current paper explains the relationship of WCM with profitability-based indicators at the hand of a new model. For this purpose, 90 listed companies on Tehran Stock Exchange whose financial data for the period 2008 through to 2012 was available were selected. The results do not confirm significant inverse U-shape relationship of Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) and Net Working Capital to Total Assets (NWC/TA) as indicators (predictors) of working capital with Return on Assets (ROA), but do indicate a significant inverse U-shape relationship of current ratio and quick ratio with ROA. From the findings, one might infer that each industry has its own optimum current and quick ratios maximizing its return.

Panel Data Regression

This study aims to examine the effect of working capital management on firm value with profitability as a mediating variable. This study uses a sample of 18 retail companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2014 to 2018. Working capital management is measured by Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC), profitability is measured by Return on Assets (ROA), and company value is measured by Tobins Q. Panel data regression is conducted to test the direct effect, followed by the Sobel test to test for the indirect effect. The results showed that working capital management increased firm value directly and indirectly through profitability. Working capital management with a shorter cycle results in greater profitability, thus driving firm value. The implication of this research is that retail companies are expected to shorten the company's cash cycle so that it has a positive impact on the company's profitability and value. DOI: https://doi.org/10.26905/afr.v3i2.5452

The Impact

This chapter aims to analyze the impact of working capital management on firm's profitability, considering economic downturn and boom periods. Analyzing Portuguese firms from 2006-2019 results show that cash conversion cycle, as well as days sales outstanding, days sales inventories, and days payment outstanding decreased after 2009 due to the international financial crisis. When the length of cash conversion cycle increases, firm return on assets also increases. This situation happens especially in recession periods, when sales decrease. Results also exhibit singularities across industries. In some sectors, the impact of working capital management in firm return is positive, while in industries with greater cash conversion periods, the impact is negative. The findings also reveal the impact of financial debt and economic growth on operational profitability. Managers need to focus on short-term financing practices to increase firm profits and create value.
