This study examines the financial performance of PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk during the 2023–2025 period by evaluating key financial indicators, namely the Current Ratio (CR), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Return on Assets (ROA), and Return on Equity (ROE). The study aims to assess the company's financial condition and analyze the impact of its business transformation strategy on financial performance. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed using secondary data obtained from the company's published annual financial reports. Data analysis focused on comparing financial ratio trends over the three-year period to evaluate liquidity, solvency, and profitability performance. The findings indicate that the company's financial performance experienced fluctuations during the business transformation process. Liquidity and solvency gradually improved toward the end of the observation period, reflecting stronger short-term financial capability and a healthier capital structure. Profitability also demonstrated increased efficiency in utilizing company assets, although changes in equity returns indicated adjustments in capital management during the transformation process. Overall, the implementation of the company's transformation strategy contributed positively to strengthening financial performance and improving resilience in responding to changing business conditions and market competition. This study provides useful insights for management, investors, and other stakeholders in evaluating the effectiveness of corporate transformation strategies through financial ratio analysis and highlights the importance of maintaining financial stability to support sustainable business growth.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Financial Distress, and Altman Z-Score on Dividend Decisions in automotive sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2020–2025 period. This study is motivated by fluctuations in the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) in the automotive sector, which indicates changes in company dividend policy due to economic conditions, financial performance, and non-financial factors that influence management decision-making. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a causal associative research type to examine the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The study population consists of automotive sector companies listed on the IDX, while the sample was determined using a purposive sampling technique based on certain criteria. Research data were obtained from annual reports and company financial statements for the 2020–2025 period. Data analysis was carried out using the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) as a proxy for dividend decisions and statistical testing to determine the effect of CSR, Financial Distress, and Altman Z-Score on company dividend, the data were processed using SPSS.

This study aims to assess the financial performance of 11 non-financial companies that conducted acquisitions in 2025 and are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Using a quantitative descriptive-comparative approach with a case study design, six financial ratios were analyzed: Current Ratio (CR), Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Total Asset Turnover (TATO), Return on Assets (ROA), and Return on Equity (ROE). Data were obtained from consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 (pre-acquisition) and December 31, 2025 (post-acquisition). The results show that the impact of acquisitions varies across companies. No consistent or significant differences were found in the CR, DAR, DER, ROA, or ROE ratios between the two periods. Meanwhile, the TATO ratio tended to decrease after the acquisition, indicating that the newly consolidated assets have not yet operated optimally. These findings confirm that the short-term financial impact of an acquisition is heavily influenced by the transaction’s funding structure, the size of the acquired entity, and the industry sector. This study contributes to the financial accounting literature on corporate acquisition strategies in the Indonesian capital market.

This study examines the effect of working capital on firm performance and sustained growth among consumer non-cyclicals manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) over the period 2019–2023. Working capital is operationalized through three distinct proxies derived from Akgün and Memiş Karatəs (2021): the Cash Holding Level (CHL), which measures the proportion of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets; the Cash Interactive Effect (CIE), which captures the efficiency of converting revenue into operating cash flow; and the Gross Working Capital Ratio (GWCR), which reflects the share of current assets within total assets. Firm performance is assessed through Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Tobin’s Q, while sustained growth is measured using the model proposed by Gerson et al. (2025), expressed as SG = b × ROE, where b denotes the earnings retention ratio. Panel data regression analysis is applied to 225 firm-year observations drawn from 45 companies. The study employs the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) for ROA and ROE, and the Random Effect Model (REM) for Tobin’s Q, as determined by the Hausman specification test. The findings reveal that CHL and CIE exert significant positive effects on ROA and ROE, while CIE is the only proxy to produce a statistically significant positive effect on Tobin’s Q. With respect to sustained growth, CHL and GWCR demonstrate significant negative effects, whereas CIE shows a significant positive effect, indicating that operational efficiency dimensions of working capital actively support long-term growth sustainability. These results reinforce the liquidity management theory and contribute empirical evidence that the structure and efficiency of working capital are strategic determinants of both short-term financial performance and long-term growth sustainability in Indonesia’s consumer goods manufacturing sector.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Good Corporate Governance (GCG), Firm Size, and Sales Growth on Financial Performance at PT Ace Hardware Indonesia Tbk listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2015–2024 period. Good Corporate Governance (GCG) in this study is proxied by institutional ownership, financial performance is measured using Return on Assets (ROA), firm size is measured by the natural logarithm of total assets, and sales growth is measured using the sales growth ratio. This study employed a quantitative method with a descriptive approach. The data used were secondary data in the form of annual financial statements obtained from the official websites of the IDX and the company. Data analysis techniques included descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, multiple and simple linear regression analysis, and hypothesis testing consisting of t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination with the assistance of SPSS version 27 software. The results of the study indicate that partially, the Good Corporate Governance (GCG) variable has a t-value of -1.526 < t-table 2.447, meaning that it has no significant effect on financial performance. The firm size variable has a t-value of -2.857 > t-table 2.447, indicating a significant negative effect on the company’s financial performance. The sales growth variable has a t-value of 1.593 < t-table 2.447, meaning that it has no significant effect on financial performance. Simultaneously, Good Corporate Governance (GCG), firm size, and sales growth have a significant effect on financial performance, with an F-value of 13.023 > F-table 4.76 and a significance value of 0.005 < 0.05. This study is expected to provide consideration for management and investors in decision-making and serve as a reference for future research in related fields.

This study examines the efficiency of financial ratios in assessing corporate performance across countries. Although financial ratios are widely used as concise indicators of profitability, liquidity, solvency, and market value, their interpretive accuracy may vary across institutional, regulatory, financial, and macroeconomic environments. The objective of this study is to conceptually evaluate whether financial ratios can function as universally comparable performance measures in heterogeneous cross-country settings. Using a qualitative literature-based method, this study synthesizes prior findings on financial ratio analysis, financial statement comparability, market efficiency, regulatory enforcement, and macroeconomic stability. The findings indicate that profitability, liquidity, solvency, and market-based ratios are context-dependent indicators rather than universally stable measures. Their efficiency is influenced by accounting standards, audit quality, leverage norms, tax systems, capital market maturity, and macroeconomic volatility. The study proposes a contextual framework for interpreting financial ratios according to their sensitivity to national conditions. The implication is that researchers, analysts, and investors should combine ratio analysis with institutional and macroeconomic diagnostics to reduce biased performance interpretation in cross-country corporate evaluation.

This study aims to analyze the contribution of Regional Original Revenue (PAD) sources, the growth of PAD, and the level of regional fiscal independence in Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency during the 2017–2024 period. The PAD sources examined include local taxes, regional retributions, returns from separated regional assets, and other legitimate PAD. The data used in this study are secondary data in the form of Budget Realization Reports (LRA) of Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency for the period 2017–2024, obtained from the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) of Tanjung Jabung Barat and the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance. This research employs a quantitative descriptive approach. The analytical techniques used include contribution analysis of PAD sources (local taxes, regional retributions, returns from separated regional assets, and other legitimate PAD), PAD growth analysis, and fiscal independence ratio analysis. The results indicate that PAD is predominantly contributed by other legitimate PAD, accounting for 62.54% of total PAD, followed by local taxes contributing 26.06%, while regional retributions and returns from separated regional assets contribute relatively low proportions. The growth of PAD during the study period shows fluctuations influenced by economic conditions, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the level of fiscal independence in Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency is categorized as very low, as reflected in the high dependence on transfer funds from the central government and other governmental assistance.

This study aims to analyze the effect of capital structure and financial performance on firm value at PT Elang Mahkota Teknologi Tbk during the period 2015–2024. Capital structure is proxied by the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), financial performance is measured by Return on Equity (ROE), and firm value is proxied by Price to Book Value (PBV). This research employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive method. The data analysis techniques used include multiple linear regression analysis, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination. The results show that capital structure (DER) has a positive and significant effect on firm value, as indicated by a t-statistic of 3.302, which is greater than the t-table value of 2.365, with a significance level of 0.013 (< 0.05). Financial performance (ROE) also has a positive and significant effect on firm value, with a t-statistic of 2.638, exceeding the t-table value of 2.365, and a significance level of 0.034 (< 0.05). Simultaneously, DER and ROE have a significant effect on firm value, as evidenced by an F-statistic of 6.384, which is greater than the F-table value of 4.737, with a significance level of 0.026 (< 0.05). The coefficient of determination indicates that 64.6% of the variation in firm value can be explained by capital structure and financial performance, while the remaining percentage is influenced by other variables outside the research model.

This study is intended to analyze the implementation of the value for money approach in assessing financial performance at RSUD Kota Tangerang during the period of 2022–2024. The research employs a descriptive quantitative approach using secondary data derived from budget realization reports. This analysis carried out using three main ratios: economy, efficiency, and effectiveness. The findings show that the hospital’s financial performance is categorized as economical, as reflected by economy ratios under 100% throughout the observed year. In terms of effectiveness, performance was considered effective in 2022 and 2023 but declined in 2024, indicating that the revenue target was not fully achieved. Meanwhile, efficiency performance remains suboptimal, as efficiency ratios exceed 100%, suggesting that the costs incurred are higher than the revenue generated. Overall, the hospital demonstrates the ability to manage its budget economically and achieve revenue targets, but still faces challenges in improving resource efficiency. Therefore, efforts are needed to optimize cost management and enhance service productivity to achieve a balance among economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in line with the value for money principles.

This study aims to examine the level of regional financial independence and various financial ratios in assessing the performance of regency and city governments in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) for the 2019–2024 period. The method employed is a descriptive qualitative approach supported by quantitative data in the form of Budget Realization Reports (LRA). Performance measurement was conducted through several key indicators, including independence, effectiveness, efficiency, and growth ratios. The results indicate that the level of fiscal independence remains relatively low, characterized by a high dependency on transfer funds from the central government. On the other hand, the effectiveness ratio shows good achievement, as most regions were able to meet their revenue targets, particularly from Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD). However, the efficiency of expenditure management remains uneven across regions. Furthermore, the revenue growth ratio shows fluctuations influenced by economic conditions, including the impact of the pandemic. Overall, regional financial performance still needs to be improved, especially in strengthening fiscal independence and optimizing PAD potential.

PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (Telkom) is a company that is part of the state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and operates specifically in the field of information technology, communication, and digital telecommunications services in Indonesia. For that reason, financial statement analysis is needed as a source of information about the company's financial condition. Based on the financial reports of PT Telekomunikasi Tbk for the period from 2019 to 2023, there has been a fluctuating increase despite Indonesia being hit by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 to 2021. The type of research is quantitative descriptive research with data sourced from the financial reports of PT Telekomunikasi Tbk as of December 31 from 2019 to 2023. The first result, the assessment of the financial performance of PT Telekomunikasi Tbk based on liquidity ratio analysis using the current ratio, shows that the current ratio from 2019 to 2023 has experienced fluctuating conditions but remains in the very good category, above the industry's minimum standard of 200%. Secondly, the results of the solvency ratio analysis using the Debt to Asset ratio (DAR) indicate that the DAR value from 2019 to 2023 is in the very good category, with a value below the industry's maximum standard of 35%. Thirdly, the analysis of profitability ratios using the Return on Equity (ROE) ratio reveals that the ROE value from 2019 to 2023 has experienced fluctuating conditions but remains above the industry standard of 40%.

This study aims to analyze the financial distress condition of PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk during the period 2015–2024 using the Springate and Grover models. The research employs a quantitative descriptive approach with secondary data obtained from the company’s annual financial statements. Financial distress analysis is conducted by calculating financial ratios included in each model to describe the company’s financial condition over the observation period. The results indicate that PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk experienced financial distress during several periods, particularly before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, which was reflected in weakened liquidity, declining profitability, and reduced efficiency in asset utilization. However, following the financial restructuring process after 2021, both the Springate and Grover models show an improvement in the company’s financial condition, indicating a transition toward a more stable non-distress status. Although the Springate and Grover models use different financial indicators and classification approaches, both are able to descriptively capture the dynamics of financial distress experienced by the company. The differences in classification results reflect the distinct focus of each model, where the Springate model is more sensitive to liquidity and operational performance, while the Grover model emphasizes asset profitability. Therefore, the combined use of both models provides a more comprehensive overview of the financial distress condition of PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk during the research period.

This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of the Current Ratio (CR) on Return on Equity (ROE) at PT Kino Indonesia Tbk for the period 2015–2025. This research employs a quantitative approach with an associative research design. The data used are secondary data obtained from the company's annual financial statements. The data analysis techniques include classical assumption tests, simple linear regression analysis, partial t-test, and coefficient of determination (R²). The results show that the Current Ratio has a negative and significant effect on Return on Equity. This is indicated by a regression coefficient value of -0.489 and a significance value of 0.001 (< 0.05). In addition, the coefficient of determination (R Square) is 0.734, which means that 73.4% of the variation in Return on Equity can be explained by the Current Ratio, while the remaining 26.6% is influenced by other factors outside this study. These findings indicate that excessively high liquidity tends to reduce the company’s profitability, suggesting inefficient management of current assets. Therefore, companies need to maintain a balance between liquidity and profitability to improve overall financial performance

This study aims to describe the level of service optimization in Financial Institution Pension Funds (DPLK) through the management of periodic pension benefit payments, additional benefits, and voluntary contributions using a descriptive-analytical approach. The data were derived from reports of 24 DPLK administrators collected in April 2026. The findings indicate that service optimization is largely determined by the effectiveness of managing periodic pension payments, other pension benefits, and contributions beyond the core program. This issue becomes crucial when viewed from DPLK performance trends over the past five years (2021–2025), where collected funds—comprising contributions and investment returns—were consistently lower than pension benefit payments, with an average ratio of 63%. This imbalance highlights sustainability concerns. The study identifies significant untapped potential, including Rp5.79 trillion annually (36% of total pension benefits) in periodic payments not yet optimized, Rp2.4 trillion for other benefit programs over 10 years, Rp1 trillion for religious-related funds, and Rp1.2 trillion in voluntary contributions from existing participants. To address these gaps, DPLK institutions need to strengthen regular and personalized communication beyond transactional interactions, ensuring participants are more engaged. Integrated services that emphasize transparent benefits, ease of contribution, continuous financial education, and digital accessibility are essential. Ultimately, optimizing DPLK services requires not only system and product improvements but also attention to participant behavior and service quality to enhance retirement well-being.

This study aimed to analyze the effect of credit risk on profitability with liquidity as a mediating variable in banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2022–2024. The study employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. Secondary data were obtained from annual financial statements, and the sample consisted of 31 banking companies selected through purposive sampling from a total of 47 companies. The research variables included credit risk as the independent variable, profitability proxied by Return on Assets (ROA) as the dependent variable, and liquidity proxied by the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) as the mediating variable. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) through the assessment of the measurement model and the structural model. The results indicated that credit risk did not affect profitability and did not affect liquidity, while liquidity affected profitability. The findings also demonstrated that liquidity did not mediate the relationship between credit risk and profitability. The study implied that liquidity management played an important role in supporting bank profitability, whereas the influence of credit risk on profitability during the study period was likely driven by other factors outside the proposed model. This study provided empirical evidence on banking performance dynamics in 2022–2024; however, generalization should have been made cautiously due to the limited observation period and the variables included.

Financial performance is an important indicator for assessing the sustainability and growth prospects of a company, where a sustained negative net profit may indicate financial and operational problems (Aminah, 2015). The purpose of this study is to analyze the financial performance of PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia Tbk for the period 2019-2023 based on NPM, ROA, and ROE. The research method used in this study is a qualitative method with a descriptive analysis approach. The data was sourced from the official website of PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia Tbk for the period 2019-2023. The results show that all profitability ratios, namely Net Profit Margin (NPM), Return on Assets (ROA), and Return on Equity (ROE), are in an unfavorable condition and far below the standards set by Bank Indonesia (2004), namely NPM 3%–9.5%, ROA 0.5%–1.25%, and ROE 5%–12.5%. NPM was consistently negative from -276.74% (2019) to -373.12% (2023), indicating that the company has not been able to generate net income from its revenue due to high operating expenses. ROA was also negative throughout the period, ranging from -112.57% (2019) to -167.33% (2023), indicating that assets have not been utilized efficiently. Similarly, ROE recorded negative values from -162.02% (2019) to -253.41% (2023), reflecting that shareholders' capital has not been optimally managed and has not provided returns, so that overall financial performance requires a more effective financial management strategy.

Dividend payment is an important financial decision that reflects a company’s performance and prospects from the perspective of investors. However, companies included in the LQ45 index still experience fluctuations in dividend payment policies from year to year. This study aims to analyze the effect of leverage, firm size, profitability, and liquidity on dividend payments of companies listed in the LQ45 index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2023–2024 period. This research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from published financial statements. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling method, resulting in 33 companies with a total of 60 observations. Data analysis was conducted using panel data regression with the assistance of SPSS software. Leverage is measured by the Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR), firm size by the natural logarithm of total assets (LnTA), profitability by Return on Assets (ROA), liquidity by the Current Ratio (CR), and dividend payment by the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR). The results show that leverage, firm size, profitability, and liquidity simultaneously have a significant effect on dividend payments. Partially, firm size and profitability have a positive and significant effect on dividend payments, while leverage and liquidity do not have a significant effect. These findings indicate that companies with larger firm size and higher profitability tend to have a greater ability to distribute dividends to investors.

This study aims to analyze and provide empirical evidence on the influence of financial performance on corporate social responsibility (CSR) in healthcare companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2020-2024. This quantitative research employs a descriptive explanatory causality approach to examine the relationships between variables. The sample consists of 19 companies selected through purposive sampling, resulting in 95 observations. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Classical assumption tests indicate that the data are normally distributed, while initial autocorrelation issues were addressed using the Cochran Orcutt approach, after which no violations of autocorrelation, multicollinearity, or heteroscedasticity were detected. The results show that return on assets (ROA), current ratio (CR), and net profit margin (NPM) simultaneously influence CSR. Partially, ROA has a negative and significant effect, while CR and NPM have positive and significant effects on CSR. This study contributes to legitimacy theory by providing empirical evidence of the role of financial performance in CSR disclosure within the Indonesian healthcare sector, while the negative effect of ROA offers additional insight into going concern theory. Practically, companies are advised to maintain liquidity levels between 150%-300% and optimize profit margins to support CSR strategies, while investors may use financial ratios as indicators to predict CSR performance.

The implementation of PSAK 73, which adopted IFRS 16, brought fundamental changes to lease financial reporting, triggering various challenges for financial performance and corporate policy. The primary issue examined in this literature was the impact of lease capitalization on financial ratios, dividend policy, and potential earnings management. The overall objective of this study was to evaluate the differences in financial performance before and after the implementation of the new standard, as well as to identify the determinants of dividend policy across various sectors. The dominant method employed was a quantitative approach using comparative analysis and panel data regression on companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Key findings indicated that the implementation of PSAK 73 significantly increased total assets and liabilities (leverage), yet tended to decrease profitability ratios such as Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). Furthermore, dividend policy was found to be significantly influenced by profitability and the new capital structure resulting from lease capitalization  

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of liquidity, asset efficiency, and capital structure on profitability in pharmaceutical manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, using Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) as an investment-based profitability indicator. This research employs secondary data from the annual financial statements of pharmaceutical manufacturing companies over a specific period, with multiple linear regression analysis and robust models to ensure model feasibility. The results indicate that liquidity has no effect on profitability. Asset efficiency has a significant negative effect, reflecting the characteristics of the pharmaceutical industry with its high asset intensity. Capital structure has a significant positive effect on profitability, suggesting that measured use of debt can enhance the company’s return on investment. These findings provide theoretical contributions by enriching the literature on investment-based profitability determinants and practical implications for corporate management, investors, and stakeholders in understanding internal factors that influence the financial performance of pharmaceutical companies in Indonesia.
