Working Capital (WC) is an important aspect of any firms because of its correlation to risk (liquidity) and return (profitability). This research examines the influence of WC Management and Policy (WCMP) to profitability of 21 listed retail trading sector firms in Indonesia from 2011-2020 using panel data regression. In this research, WC Management (WCM) is measured by Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) and its components which are Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), Days Inventory Outstanding, and Days Payable Outstanding (DPO); WC Policy is measured current assets divided by total assets or referred to as WC Investment Policy (WCIP) and current liabilities divided by total assets or referred to as WC Financing Policy (WCFP); and profitability is measured by Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization Margin (EBITDAM). The results show that firms can increase EBITDAM by shortening CCC, primarily through shortening DIO and lengthening DPO. Further, firms may improve EBITDAM by adopting a conservative WC Policy instead of an aggressive one, which means having higher current assets and lower current liabilities with respect to total assets.

This study investigated the relationship between working capital management and profitability of 94 listed Bumiputera-controlled companies in Malaysia for 2006 until 2012. The underlying theory is the trade-off theory of working capital and cash conversion cycle, and its components are used as measures for working capital management. Findings of the panel data regression reveal that inventory conversion period and receivable collection period are significantly negatively correlated to profitability. This suggests that the shorter the period, the higher the profitability of Bumiputera-controlled companies tends to be. However, the cash conversion cycle is significantly and positively correlated to profitability, suggesting that the longer the cash conversion period, the higher the profitability. The payable collection period is not significantly correlated to profitability. The findings of this study assert that in general, Bumiputera-controlled companies are relatively less efficient in its working capital management, as far as the comparison to previous related studies is concerned.

Purpose – This study aims to provide empirical evidence regarding the restrictions on the sharia stock criteria, by observing the impact of working capital and leverage on the profitability of companies listed in Indonesia Sharia Stock Index. There are some differences between Indonesia Ulama Council’s fatwa and AAOIFI sharia standards regarding the restrictions on the sharia stocks, particularly on the riba based leverage compared to the total assets of the companies regarded as having sharia stocks. The objective of this paper is to compare and analyze which restrictions serves companies better.Design/methodology/approach – The research was done to companies listed in Indonesia Sharia Stock Index from 2012 until 2018. Panel data regression was applied to analyze the significance of the result. For comparison purpose of the fatwa and the AAOIFI sharia standards, samples were divided into three different groups based on the debt to assets ratio as an indicator of the riba based leverage (≤30%, 30%-45% and>45%). Variables of cash conversion cycle and debt to assets ratio are used to measure the impact of the working capital and leverage on the return on assets as indicator or profitability.Findings – The result suggests that there are differences in the impact of working capital and leverage on the profitability for the three groups of leverage. In favor of the AAOIFI sharia standards, the result of this study shows that in the group where the leverage is 30% at maximum, the profitability is not affected by the working capital and leverage of the company. Meanwhile, in the group where the leverage is more than 30%, the impact of working capital and leverage on the profitability of the company is found to be significant.Research limitations/implications – This study is limited to the companies listed in Indonesia Sharia Stock Index, with variables of cash conversion, debt to assets ratio and return on assets.Practical implications – This study provide an empirical evidence that can be used to revisit the restrictions applied by Indonesia Ulama Council regarding the sharia stocks.Originality/value – To the best of authors’ knowledge, this paper provides important findings in the sharia finance dynamic in Indonesia.Keyword working capital, leverage, profitability, sharia stocks.Paper type research paper

Working capital management has a strategic role to maintain a balance between liquidity and profitability so that firms have greater opportunities to operate sustainably. This study mainly aims to investigate the ability of working capital management to increase sustainable growth through asset utilization. We ran panel data regression on manufacturing firms listed in the Indonesian Stock Exchange for the years of 2010-2017 as our sample. By controlling for leverage, sales growth, and firm size, our empirical results demonstrate that working capital management negatively affects firms' asset utilization. Furthermore, the study also finds that asset utilization positively affects sustainable growth. Finally, we empirically show that asset utilization mediates the relationship between working capital management and sustainable growth. The findings imply that if Indonesian manufacturing firms manage to have efficient working capital management, they are more likely to utilize their assets efficiently which, in turn, will increase their growth optimally, without causing problems to their cash.

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

Working capital is one of the important measures of a firm’s efficiency and represents the total liquid assets available with a firm. It reflects a firms’ ability to meet day-to-day operating expenses and also acts as an indicator of a firm’s short-term financial health. So a firm has to plan the effective utilisation of its working capital in order to maintain equilibrium between liquidity and profitability of the business. Therefore, the present article tries to examine the impact of working capital management on profitability of the firms of Indian steel industry. The study has taken into consideration four independent variables, that is, Current ratio, Quick ratio, Debtors turnover ratio and Finished goods turnover ratio which act as the indicators of working capital use in the industry. Return on total assets represents the profitability of the industry and acts as a dependent variable to develop an empirical model in order to establish relationship between working capital management and profitability of the steel industry in India by using panel data regression. The period of study is 17 years, that is, 2000–2016. The result of the study indicates that the impact of working capital management on profitability of the firms of Indian steel industry has been significant.

AbstractThis study examines how working capital management packages (WCMPs) can lead to higher financial performance. This is done by exploring the formation, importance, and systematic interdependencies within and between WCMPs. The data set consists of 589 U.S. listed manufacturing firms that are being studied during the fiscal period 2012–2019. WCMPs are studied from both a package and a system approach. This is done by combining fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis and panel data regression. In all, 11 effective WCMPs are found to be associated with high financial performance. Six of them constitute unique and empirically important packages and are also identified as systems. The findings can have consequences for managers and practitioners, as the study creates an explicit link between a firm’s working capital management and financial performance.
