This study aims to find the dimensions of financial indicators where both ratio and non-ratio

indicators are accommodated. It is expected that the new dimensions of financial indicators

be found. Both Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis is used in analyzing the data.

Data are taken from 120 companies listed in Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX). Twenty

financial indicators from the financial reports of each company are identified. While it has

been a common practice to use ratio in indicating financial performance, it is not common to

use an individual value from financial statements as financial indicators. This study shows

that financial indicators can be grouped into four dimensions; they are Operational

Performance, Asset-Income Performance, Owner Returns Performance and Leverage

Performance. All of the non-ratio indicators that are expressed in the amount are grouped in

the Asset-Income Performance dimension. New dimensions of financial performance

indicators that do not commonly exist in this study, they are Asset-Income, and Leverage

Performance. With the new dimension, non-financial performances such as customer

satisfaction, corporate social responsibility, reputation, nepotism, and professionalism may be

detected.

Introduction

Managers need financial information to evaluate corporate performance. Aside from evaluation, financial information

is also needed in planning and decision-making purposes. That is why it is necessary to present financial information

in an appropriate way that is well understood by users, in most cases are managers and investors.

Several ways of looking at corporate performance. One way is to look at corporate performance from an

operational point of view (Chakravarthy, 1986). Reputation and customer satisfaction are elements of operational

performance (Wang et al., 2012), also goals achievement (Etzioni, 1964), and engaging in corporate social

responsibility (Fisman, Heal, and Nair, 2008; Wang and Qin, 2010; Cellier and Chollet, 2011; Scholtens and Kang,

2013). Organizational performance can also be viewed from a financial point of view (Venkarraman and Ramanujam,

1986), where studies show that the most widely used measurement of corporate performance is profit, growth, and

efficiency (Brush and Vanderwert, 1992) which link to the financial performances. It is because financial rewards

seem to be the most fundamental motive for engaging in business (Anand et al., 2012; Wang and Chen, 2013).

However, non-financial performance started to get more attention from managers and investors than financial

performance, such as non-financial performance as customer satisfaction and reputation (Wang et al., 2012).

There are many ways of grouping financial indicators into dimensions. In the study of Gottardo & Moisello

(2015), they were using six dimensions; those are, liquidity (liquid assets/total asset), growth ((sales/salest-1 ) – 1),

leverage (financial debts/total assets), firm market share (salesown/∑salesothers), capital turnover (sales/capital

employed), and legged performance (ROAEBIT t-1, ROAnet income t-1). Among all of these financial performance

114

indicators, ROA was commonly used (Anderson & Reeb, 2003; Barontini & Caprio, 2006; Miller et al., 2013). It

appears that all of the indicators used in each of these financial performance dimensions are all in ratio, that is, a

comparison of two or more values. In most cases, ratio analysis is better since they give a better indicator of

performance. However, in some cases, the use of ratio hides some important non-financial performance, such as

reputation, customer satisfaction, or corporate social responsibility. For example, the effect of reputation or customer

satisfaction will be in sales or revenue, which is the non-ratio indicator and not in profit margin or sales turnover,

which are ratio indicators.

In another study, Murphy, Trailer & Hill (1996) grouped the corporate performance indicators into eight

dimensions where most of them are financial indicators, they are efficiency (return on investment, return on equity,

return on assets, return on net worth, and gross revenues per employee), growth (change in sales, change in

employees, market share growth, change in net income margin, change in CEO/owner compensation, change in

labour expense to revenue), profit (return on sales, net profit margin, gross profit margin, net profit level, net profit

from operations, pre-tax profit, and clients estimate of incremental profits), size liquidity (sales level, cash flow level,

ability to fund growth, current ratio, quick ratio, total asset turnover, and cash flow to investment), success/failure

(discontinued business, researcher subjective assessment, return on net worth, and respondent subjective assessment),

market share (respondent assessment, and firm product sales to industry product sales), leverage (debt to equity, and

times interest earned), and other (change in employee turnover, and dependence on corporate sponsor). These

dimensions of financial performance still lack in indicating the contribution of non-financial indicators such as

reputation, customer satisfaction, or corporate social responsibility. Corporate social responsibility, for example, has

effects on corporate revenue when it helps mitigate conflicts of interest between management, shareholders, and non-

investing stakeholders (Jensen 2002; Harjoto & Jo, 2011; Jo & Harjoto, 2012). Serving the interests of other non-

investing shareholders, corporate social responsibility help firms build good relationships with them and gain their

support that builds a good reputation, which will enhance the firm's financial performance and shareholders' wealth

(Wang & Choi, 2013). Thus, the non-financial performances may be identified through financial indicators as long

as they are presented in non-ratio indicators.

The traditional ways of grouping corporate financial performance indicators that have been commonly used so far

are known as financial ratios. They are grouped into four dimensions, namely profitability, liquidity, solvency, and

activity (Lan, 2012; Brigham, Eherthard, 2013; Kountur, 2014; Titman, Keown, Martin, 2017; Jun-Ming, Yoon Kee,

Bany-Arifin, Brigham, Houston, 2018). Several marginal ratios, such as margin of gross profit, a margin of operating

profit, and margin of net profit, include return on equity, and return on assets are used to indicate profitability ratios.

The current ratio, quick ratio, k-liquidity ratio, and cash ratio are used to indicate liquidity ratios. Debt-to-asset ratio,

debt-to-capital ratio, debt-to-equity ratio, and interest coverage ratio are used to indicate solvency ratios. Activity

ratios are inventory turnover, receivable turnover, payable turnover, and asset turnover. The grouping of financial

indicators that was introduced by Gottardo & Moisello (2015) has some similarities with the traditional ways of

grouping financial performance. Both have categories as liquidity and leverage. None of them use non-ratio

indicators. Therefore, a study needs to be done to include the non-ratio indicators when analyzing finance

performance.

Managers, investors, and other parties that have an interest in the financial information of a corporation need to

be supplied with the proper presentation of the information. Though there had been several popular ways of grouping

financial indicators into several dimensions; however, we still need other ways of grouping them, especially to

accommodate the non-financial performance indicators. Since non-financial indicators that seem not appear in the

existing traditional financial dimensions may appear in other dimensions that not being identified yet. Lansberg,

Rogolsky, and Perrow (1998); and Garcia-Castro and Aguilera (2014) discovered that financial indicators might be

affected by some of the non-financial indicators such as professionalism, and nepotism since they seem to increase

costs. Therefore, a study needs to be done to factor the financial indicators in such a way that can cover more areas

of performance, both ratio and non-ratio, and finance and non-financial.

The purpose of this study is to factor the financial indicators into several dimensions that may accommodate both

the ratio and non-ratio indicators. The participation of non-ratio indicators in the model may be used to detect the

non-financial performance such as reputation, customer satisfaction, nepotism, professionalism, and corporate social

responsibility that had been known to affect the non-ratio corporate financial performances.

Method

This study is a cross-sectional where data are taken from the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) for the year 2017.

About 120 companies listed in EDX were studied. We were using a secondary source of data that is published by

ISE on its website. Twenty financial indicators from 2017 financial reports of each company were identified.

Data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis technique. It started from determining the variables to be

included, then followed by identifying the factors, and lastly, naming the factors. However, the validity of the factor

needs to be tested. The factors derived then were checked for their convergent and discriminant validity with the use

of the Partial Least Square technique.

In determining the variable to be included, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin's (KMO) overall measure of sampling

adequacy is used, which must be > 0.6 and Bartlett's test of sphericity that must be significant. In determining the

number of factors, the eigenvalue and the rotated factor loading were used. The method used in the rotation is

Varimax. A factor that had eigenvalues greater than one (1.0) and factor loading higher than point five (0.50) were

considered. The Varimax rotation technique was used in determining the composition of the factors. While in naming

the factor, the first and second highest factor loading was used as a clue.

Result

Variables to be Included

From twenty variables selected, it appears that the KMO value is lower than required. It indicates that some of the

variables that have been selected need to be removed. Looking at the numbers in the diagonal of Anti-Image

Correlation, four variables have a correlation lower than 0.5, which are removed. The variables that are removed are

Price Earnings Ratio (PER), PER Industry, Yield, and Price-to-Book value (PBV). Finally, all the 16 variables can

be further analyzed (KMO = 0.675, Bartlett's test of sphericity p < 0.05), as shown in Table 1.

The communalities indicate the variance of each variable that can be explained by its factor ranges from 0.706

to .976 except for one variable that has a commonality of 0.460 that is the Current Ratio. The variables included in the analysis are Return On Asset (ROA), Net Profit Margin (NPM), Operating Profit Margin

(OPM), Gross Profit Margin (GPM), Return On Equity (ROE), Pay-out Ratio (P/O Ratio), Equity, Assets, Revenue, Profit,

Liability, Earning Per Share (EPS), Dividend, Book Value, Debt-to-Asset Ratio (DAR), Debt-to-Equity Ratio (DER), and

Current Ratio (CR).

Number of Factors

From the scree plot and the initial eigenvalues shows that four factors can be used to explain the financial performance

of any company. As shown in Figure 1, the first four factors have eigenvalue > 1.0, while the fifth factor had

eigenvalue lower than required, which is 1.0.

Figure 1. Number of Factors or Component

The first factor has rotation sums of squared loading of 29.33%, which indicates the first factor can explain 29.33

percent of financial performance. The second, third, and fourth factors have rotation sums of squared loadings of

26.72%, 16.85%, and 14.66%. The total variance that can be explained by the four factors is 87.57%, as shown in

Table 2. In other words, 87.57 percent of corporate financial performance can be explained by these four factors.

Name of Factors

As shown in Table 3, the first factor composes of ROA, NPM, OPM, GPM, ROE, and P/O Ratio. The second

factor comprises variable Equity, Asset, Revenue, Profit, and Liability. The third factor composes of variable EPS,

Dividend, and BV. And the fourth factor composes of variable DAR, DER, and CR. The first and second variables

that have the highest loading for factor one is ROA and NPM, which indicate how good a company manages its

operation. With an amount of assets and Equity given to the company, it can get a certain amount of margin.

Therefore, the first factor may be named as OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE, since the financial indicators for

factor one indicate the operational performance of a corporation.

The first and second variables of the second factor related to the amount of equity and assets. These are the amount

invested in the corporation. It shows how good a corporation makes use of the invested capital by owners as compared

to its assets, revenue, profit, and liability. Therefore, the second factor may be called ASSET-INCOME

PERFORMANCE. In the third factor, EPS and Dividend are the first and second variables that may be used as a clue

in naming the factor. It indicates how good a company provides a return to its owner. Therefore, the third factor

may be called OWNERS RETURN PERFORMANCE that is measured by Earning Per Share and Dividend. The BV

or book value may be used as the denominator in the ratio that makes use of EPS and DV as the numerator.

The fourth factors seem to indicate the use of debt since the first and second variables in this factor are DAR and

DER. The third variable is CR, which indicates the ability to pay its current obligation. Therefore, the fourth factor

may be named LEVERAGE PERFORMANCE. The CR may be used as the numerator to compute the leverage ratio

where the denominator is DAR or DER. That shows how good the company able to pay its current obligation.

Validity of Factors

A confirmatory factor analysis was performed to test the validity of the factors. Two kinds of validity are tested

convergent validity, and discriminant validity. Convergent Validity indicates how strong the variables in a construct,

or a factor related to each other. They should have a strong relationship with themselves. In this study, a composite

reliability score is used to indicate convergent validity. All of the four factors have acceptable composite reliability.

Operational Performance (0.938), Asset-income performance (0.976), Owner Return Performance (0.763), and

Leverage Performance (0.581).

Discriminant Validity indicates that no variables in a factor have a strong relationship with other factors than their

factor. It is measured by the average variance extracted that is greater than the shared variance between construct, as

shown in Table 4. The average variance extracted for Asset-income performance is 0.944 higher than the relationship

with other factors. Leverage Performance is 0.854 higher than the relationship with other factors. Operational

Performance is 0.942 higher than the relationship with other factors, and Owner Return Performance is 0.730 higher

than the relationship with other factors.

Discussion

Our study makes use of 16 financial variables. They are Return On Asset, Net Profit Margin, Operating Profit Margin,

Gross Profit Margin, Return On Equity, Pay-out Ratio, Equity, Assets, Revenue, Profit, Liability, Earning Per Share,

Dividend, Book Value, Debt-to-Asset Ratio, Debt-to-Equity Ratio, and Current Ratio. Quite different than what

Gottardo & Moisello (2015) introduced, they are using Liquidity (liquid assets/total asset), growth ((sales/salest-1 ) –

1), leverage (financial debts/total assets), firm market share (salesown/∑salesothers), capital turnover (sales/capital

employed), and legged performance (ROAEBIT t-1, ROAnet income t-1). While Murphy, Trailer & Hill (1996) make use of

35 variables, which include both financial and non-financial variables. Some of their variables are the same as what

we are using, but not all the same. The traditional financial ratio variables, as mentioned by Lan (2012); Jun-Ming,

R. Kountur, L. Aprilia / ACRN Journal of Finance and Risk Perspectives 9 (2020) 113-119

118

Yoon Kee, Bany-Arifin, Brigham, Houston (2018); Titman, Keown, Martin (2017); Brigham, Eherthard (2013) have

about 16 financial variables too. However, some of the variables they are using are not the same as what we are

introducing. Eight variables are different. We are adding some of the non-ratio indicators, such as total assets, total

liabilities, equity, revenue, and net profit.

Most analysts avoid the use of non-ratio indicators since they are not comparable. Indeed, they are not comparable

horizontally between companies, but they may be comparable vertically between different times. For example,

revenue, it cannot be compared between companies since companies have different size of assets let say. Still, we

can compare the revenue of last year and the revenue of this year of the same company. When the ratio is combined

with another indicator to form a ratio, it may reduce its power to indicate specific performances. For example, when

the customer satisfies with the company's product, the tendency, there will be repeat buying and, in the end, will

increase the revenue of the company. So, revenue increase may be due to certain non-financial aspects such as

customer satisfaction. However, when revenue is combined with total asset and become asset turnover which is a

ratio indicator, it losses some information about revenue increase and as a result, some of the non-financial

performance may not be detected.

In our study, we discover four new dimensions to indicate financial performance; they are, Operational

Performance, Asset-income performance, Owners Return Performance, and Leverage Performance. Different from

the traditional dimension, which is profitability, liquidity, solvency, and activity (Lan, 2012; Jun-Ming, Yoon Kee,

Bany-Arifin, Brigham, Houston, 2018; Titman, Keown, Martin, 2017; Brigham, Eherthard, 2013). Also different

from the three dimensions of financial performances by Brush and Vanderwert (1992), they are growth, profit, and

efficiency. Other dimensions by While Murphy, Trailer & Hill (1996) that has eight categories of organizational

performance, they are efficiency, growth, profit, liquidity, success/failure, market share, leverage, and others.

As indicated earlier, though there have been several ways of presenting dimensions of financial performance,

other dimensions are still needed to accommodate the non-ratio indicators. Some of the non-financial performance,

such as customer satisfaction, reputation, nepotism, professionalism, and corporate social responsibility that currently

seems not detected by the existing dimension may be detected by other dimensions that will be identified. Our study

made used some indicators of the whole amount instead of ratios, such as revenue, and net profit. Many financial

analysts avoid the use of the whole amount since they are not indicated true performance. However, the whole

number may be used if it is to compare with the previous performance. Few if any of the previous studies make use

of the whole amount in their financial indicators. This whole amount of revenue and profit may detect the non-

financial performances such as professionalism and nepotism (Lansberg, Rogolsky, and Perrow (1998); and Garcia-

Castro and Aguilera, 2014); reputation and customer satisfaction as indicated by Wang et al. (2012); and engaging in

corporate social responsibility as indicated by Fisman, Heal, and Nair (2008); Wang and Qin (2010); Cellier and

Chollet (2011); Scholtens and Kang (2013). Excellent performance of reputation, customer satisfaction, and corporate

social responsibility may appear in revenue, while professionalism and nepotism may appear in net profit as they

increase expenses.

Conclusion

It is essential to consider the non-ratio indicators in analyzing the financial performance of a firm. Through this study,

we have discovered the dimension of non-ratio indicators that may be used in analyzing corporate financial

performances. It is sad to say that the use of non-ratio indicators in the field of financial statement analysis so far has

been ignored due to their inability to compare the performance of two or more different companies. Therefore, we

suggest the use of this non-ratio financial dimension in analyzing financial statements together with the use of other

dimensions that are discovered in this study. However, when using non-ratio indicators, there is no way to directly

compare it with other companies without first compare them with past performance. The non-financial ratio

dimensions introduced in this study may be used as a new tool in analyzing the financial statements of a firm. It

provides a significant contribution to the development of the theory of financial statement analysis. The use of non-

financial ratios in analyzing financial statements will enable the analyst to identify some activities that are not directly

related to financial performance, such as customer satisfaction, reputation, etc. Whenever there is an increase in

revenue, as compared to past performance, there must be some causes. One of them may be that the customers are

satisfied with the product or services provided by the firm, or it may be due to the increase in firm reputation, or other

activities that cannot directly be related to the financial performances. However, further study still needs to be done

to see how much of these non-directly-related activities to the financial indicators contribute to the financial

performances of a firm.

This study is not without weaknesses. Some of the weaknesses are the commonality of the Current Ratio is 0.46,

which is lower than the required commonality of 0.50. The composite reliability of Leverage Performance is 0.581,

which is also lower than the required composite reliability of 0.70. However, the total variance that can be explained

by the four factors discovered in this study is 87.57%, which is quite high. As we looked at the weaknesses, further

research with a better commonality and composite reliability needs to be done by considering more non-ratio

indicators.
