TOPIC

To find the relationship between Capital Structure and Profitability: A comparative study

between of Pharmaceutical and Food Sector of Pakistan.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The basic drive of this research was to investigate the nexus between performances and

capital structure of the businesses in two different industries of Pakistan i.e.

Pharmaceutical and Food sector. The data was collected form financial statements of

the companies registered at Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE 100) from year 2010 to

2014.

Total 13 food companies and 08 pharmaceutical companies are registered in Karachi

Stock Exchange. For analysis purpose we have selected 05 best performing companies

of each section were selected. The objective of this research is to find the relationship

between profitability and capital structure of the overall sector and for that we have

selected Return of Asset (ROA) as dependent variable of profitability and represented

capital structure through Debt to Asset Ratio, Long Term Debt to Asset Ratio, Short

Term Debt to Asset Ratio and Debt to Equity Ratio (independent variables).

Regression model is used for the analysis and analysis has revealed that about 61% of

variability in ROA is explained by above mentioned independent variables in

pharmaceutical sector; while for food sector only 37% ROA variability is explained.

Important conclusion drawn by this research is that profitability in pharmaceutical sector

is positive to structures based on more debt and less equity portions. However, food

sector in Pakistan is not much positive in terms of its profitability to the capital structures

based on more debt.

INTRODUCTION

A business organization is called business organization because of its economic

objectives i.e. Profit. Different techniques are followed by business organizations for

profit maximization working under the concept of efficiency. Among them an optimal mix

of financing (Capital Structure) is dominant. Capital Structure means a combination of

various fund sources required for the working capital and long investments. Availability

of mix of debt and equity sources instruments and increased opportunities but had also

increased complexities too. Financial sources are different based on risk related to each

source of fund according to the relation of risk and return. The financial managers

struggle to reach to such type of mix having low cost and increase the wealth of the

shareholders.

The relationship of the capital structure decisions with the firm performance was

highlighted by a number of theories mainly, the agency theory, information asymmetry

theory, signaling theory and the tradeoff theory. The most important among them is the

agency problem that exists because ownership (shareholders) and control

(management) of firms lies with different people for most of the firms. And for that

reason, managers are not motivated to apply maximum efforts and are more interested

in personal gains or policies that suit their own interests and thus results in the loss of

value for the firm and harm shareholders’ interests. Therefore, debt finance act as a

controlling tool to restrict the opportunistic behavior for personal gain by managers. It

reduces the free cash flows with the firm by paying fixed interest payments and forces

managers to avoid negative investments and work in the interest of shareholders.

The asymmetric information theory states that the firm managers (insiders) have

more information about their firm compared to the outside investors. The well informed

managers try to send positive information to the market or ill informed investors to

increase the firm value.

Signaling theory states that managers have incentives to use various tools to send

signals to the market about the difference that exist between them and weaker firms.

One of the key tools to send these signals is the use of debt. Employment of debt in

capital structure shows that managers have better expectations about the future

performance whereas equity sends a bad news about the firm performance in the future.

Various research studies were conducted to check the influence of capital structure

decisions on firm performance. As capital structure is mainly based on two sources of

finances that is debt and equity. The use of each source of financing show mixed and

contradictory results on the firm performance. Hadlock and James, (2002) in his study

on undervalued firms found a positive relationship between the use of debt finance and

firm performance, as debt finance mainly from banks reduces information asymmetry

problems and increases investors’ confidence in the firm. Simerly and Li (2000) found in

their study that environmental dynamism and competitive environment play a key role in

Page 6: To find the relationship between capital structure and profitability. a comparative study between of pharmaceutical and food sector of pakistan

making decisions about the optimal capital structure. Firms in the underdeveloped

market are faced with financial distress and volatility in interest rates, inflation and tax

rates play a significant role in taking decisions about the optimal capital structure

decisions (Karadeniz et al. 2009). Pakistan is a developing country and has a very small

and undeveloped debt market so firms rely largely on the bank debt to finance its

operations and capital investment needs. Since a major proportion of the banks in the

country are privatized and they do not issue debt finance on attractive terms. The firms

with more uncertain earnings (volatile) earnings find it much more difficult to get to these

sources of finances. So the firms with more uncertain earnings are restricted to borrow

less in these markets. Similarly, consistently increasing cost of raising finances to run

their business smoothly have restricted the firms in Pakistan to largely rely on the

internal sources of funds because the equity markets are limited and always on lower

levels of trading. The existence of information asymmetry problems in the Pakistani

market is also a relevant concern in the decisions of capital structure (Sheikh and Wang,

2011).

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE

1. To explore and describe the share of capital structure in profitability.

2. To find out the impact of capital structure on:

a. Debit

b. Capital Investment

3. To determine basis of the profitability function of food and pharma sector

4. To identify combination of Capital Structure that would be best for the company.

LITERATURE REVIEW

The significance of capital structure theories to firm performance and its value was

highlighted by various researchers in their research work over the decades across the

developed world. The importance of capital structure theory to firm performance was first

highlighted by Modigliani and Miller (1958) stating that the decision about company’s

capital structure is immaterial to the value of the firm in the absence of taxes,

asymmetric information, bankruptcy costs, transactions cost and in an efficient markets

with homogeneous expectations. Under these strict assumptions, the type of financing

used does not affect the firm value. As the real world markets do not operate on these

assumptions and new research work was conducted to test the relationship between

capital structure theories with firm performance. Jensen and Meckling (1976)

demonstrates that in the decisions about a firm capital structure, the agency conflicts

between shareholders and managers is affected by the level of leverage, as it

Page 7: To find the relationship between capital structure and profitability. a comparative study between of pharmaceutical and food sector of pakistan

6 | P a g e

encourage or constrain managers to take decisions in the interest of shareholders and

their operating decisions and behaviors affects the firm performance. In similar way,

importance of capital structure decisions in firm performance were explored both

empirically and theoretically. Myers and Majluf (1984) in their study on firms capital

structure said that firms are faced with information asymmetries and transaction costs,

so they rely initially on internally generated finances, then move toward debt financing, a

relatively expensive form of financing and then move to equity financing as the last

option. Jensen (1986) in his free cash flow theory said that excess cash flows are used

on less return projects or organization inefficiencies that create agency conflicts among

shareholders and managers of the firm and debt is a useful tool to solve the free cash

flow problem.

Similarly, trade off theory holds that the decision of a firm about the use of debt finance

or equity finance is based on the costs and benefits associated with each source of

funds. Like the use of debt can have tax saving benefits but can also have bankruptcy

costs, so the company must balance the costs and benefits with each source in deciding

about the optimal capital structure. Then an improved version of this theory was capital

signaling theory mentioning that all investors are not rational and neither every investor

have all amount of information or equal level of information compared to the owners and

managers also called insiders of the company. When expected future performance of

the company based on the expected future cash flows and earnings will look good,

insiders will opt for debt financing with low level of interest and default risk thus reducing

the flow of large gains to more shareholders. Whereas in opposite case when expected

future performance outlook seems bad, insiders opt for equity financing thus shifting the

flow of losses to shareholders, which in case of debt financing would have led to

bankruptcy. Then the agency theory, it explains the relationship of principal

(shareholders of the firm) with agent (managers or management of the firm) in the

decision making process about the firm capital structure combination. The complexity of

the agency problem between principal and agent play a key role in deciding about the

optimal capital structure in a firm (Jensen and Meckling, 1976). Then market timing

theory which states that firms issue equity finance to generate funds when the market

prices (current) or values of the company stocks are high compared to its book value or

past market values and buys back these stocks when market values are down for the

company (Baker and Wurgler, 2002). These were the main theories that dominated the

literature in relevance to the relationship of capital structure decisions with the firm’s

performance over the several decades. Whereas Graham and Harvey, (2001) finds little

support for these theories in the actual corporate structures. They find that these

theories and their assumptions do not significantly correlate to the determination of

capital structure decisions in the corporations. Similarly, Brav et al., (2005) also find that

the significance of these theories and its assumptions to the actual capital structure

decisions in corporations have decreased overtime compared to the past

Shahzad and Usman (2014) had conducted a comparative study between Cement and

Auto sector of Pakistan and had analyzed the relationship between Capital Structure and

Profitability of 28 companies, combined, from the period of 2005 to 2011. The results

Page 8: To find the relationship between capital structure and profitability. a comparative study between of pharmaceutical and food sector of pakistan

concluded that companies must have short term debts and internal debts as compared

to long term debts.

Khan (2012) also tested the relationship of capital performance in Pakistani environment

by testing sample of 36 engineering firms during 2003 to 2009. His results determined

that the association between financial leverage and company performance is negative

but insignificant with respect to Return on Equity.

Dependent Variables:

Return on Asset (ROA) = Net Profit/ Total Asset

This ratio shows that how efficient the firm has utilized their assets. The higher the value

of ROA the better it is. ROA was considered as dependent variable by Majumdar and

Chhibber (1999), Abor (2005) and Shahzad and Usman (2014).

ROA is one of the key profitability ratio used in Generally Accepted Accounting

Principles (GAAP).

In-Dependent Variables:

1. Debt to total Assets (Debt Asset Ratio) = Total Debt / Total Assets

This ratio shows that how much assets have been financed with debt. This ratio has also

been used as independent variable by Abdul Ghafoor Khan (2012).

2. Short term debt ratio (STDR) = Short Term Debt/Total Asset

This ratio shows that how much assets have been financed through short term loan.

Chin Ai Fu (1997), Sohail Amjad (2007) and Rametulla Ferati (2010) considered STDR

as independent variable in their respective researches.

3. Long term debt ratio (LTDR) =Long Term Debt/ Total Asset

This ratio shows that how much assets have been financed through long term loan. The

higher the value may show the dependency of the form on debt, which may be a

negative sign for the investors because they might be thinking that the form may go

bankrupt. Rametulla Ferati (2010)

4. Total Debt to Equity Ratio (Debt Equity Ratio)

This ratio shows the comparison of Debt to equity. Higher this value means more debt is

present as compared to equity and company has financial leveraged.

From the above analysis we can to know that about 61% variation in profitability (ROA)

can be explained by , long term, total debt and equity ratios. Debts to equity ratios have

significant impact on the profitability of the organization by the statistical model. Long

and short term debts have a strong correlation with the net profit of the firm in terms of

high ROA.

The above analysis for food sectors shows that about 37% variation in profitability

(ROA) can be explained by , long term, debt asset ratio and equity ratios. The impact of

debt to equity ratios has less significant impact on the profitability of the organization by

the statistical model. More equity based structures of the firms become more profitable

and high returns on assets.

However, the long term and short term debt ratios are strongly correlated with each

other but still short term debt has positive impact on the profitability as compared to

pharma industry.

CONCLUSION

This research study was conducted to determine the effect of debt and equity structure

on profitability of 5 companies of pharmaceutical and food sector registered in the KSE

from the period of 2010 to 2014. The analysis was performed based on panel data by

use of regression model. The data analysis was done to test the assumption that there is

a positive or negative association between the variables. So for this purpose Return on

Assets (ROA) was considered as controlled variable and Long Term Debt to Total Asset

(LDTA), Short Term Debt to Total Asset (STDA) and Total Debt to Total Asset (TDTA)

were controlling factors.

The result shows that explanatory variables and financial structures of companies have

strong impact on their profitability and growth.

Profitability in pharmaceutical sector is positive to structures based on more debt and

less equity portions.

However, food sector in Pakistan is not much positive in terms of its profitability to the

capital structures based on debt- equity ratios.

Further study should be done in the Pakistan’s market on the other sectors to determine

the effect of different factors on profitability.

RECOMMANDATIONS

As we already know the financial decision is considered to be most difficult decision and

specially capital structure. Present research paper tried to work out evaluating the

relationship of capital structure with profitability.

Theoretical models do not indicate best possible mixture of capital structure that would

be ideal for the companies in pharmaceutical and food sector, so that they can yield

maximum profits out of it. Still on the basis of results it is recommended that companies

in pharma & food sectors should reconsider their best possible capital structures to

maximize their earnings and net profits.

Most of the companies in both the sectors have lower debt as compared to other

developed countries such as Japan, United Kingdom, United States of America and

Germany. This shows that Pakistani companies are not using the high level of debt.

Reason might be high interest rates being offered by the banks, political instability,

terrorism and uncertain atmosphere. So we may say that companies in Pakistan are not

opting for high level of debts. Because of the same reason some of the results are

contradictory to previous studies that are mentioned in conclusion section.
