Abstract

The contribution of logistics and transportation firms to the national economy has grown in importance as a result of globalization. These firms require a variety of financing resources in order to continue operations and make profits. The needs of the firms are financed by either debt or equity. This financing is used by firms to determine their capital structure in order to maximize returns and increase competitiveness. The capital structure decisions made by firms have an impact on their financial performance. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the impact of capital structure on the financial performance of logistics and transportation firms listed on the Borsa Istanbul (BIST). In this study, total debt/total assets were used as a proxy for capital structure, and return on assets, return on equity, and Tobin Q ratios were used as proxies for financial performance. Panel regression were used to test the data of the firms from 2014 to 2020. The findings showed that there is a statistically significant negative relationship between capital structure, return on assets, and return on equity, but no statistically significant relationship with Tobin Q.

Özet

Küreselleşme ile birlikte lojistik ve ulaştırma firmalarının ülke ekonomilerine katkıları giderek önemli hale gelmeye başlamıştır. Bu firmalar faaliyetlerinin devamlılığını sağlamak ve kâr elde edebilmek amacıyla bir takım finansman kaynaklarına ihtiyaç duymaktadır. Firmaların bu ihtiyaçları ise ya borç ya da özsermayeden finanse edilmektedir. Bu finansmanda ise firmalar getirilerini maksimize edebilmek ve rekabet gücünü artırabilmek için bir sermaye yapısı kararı almaktadır. Firmaların sermaye yapısı bağlamında aldığı kararlar finansal performanslarını etkilemektedir. Bundan dolayı çalışmanın amacı, Borsa İstanbul (BIST)’a kayıtlı olan lojistik ve ulaştırma sektöründeki firmaların sermaye yapısının finansal performans üzerindeki etkisini tespit etmektedir. Bu doğrultuda sermaye yapısı göstergesi olarak toplam borç/toplam aktif, finansal performans için ise aktif kârlılığı, özsermaye kârlılığı ve Tobin Q oranları kullanılmıştır. Firmaların 2014-2020 dönemlerine ait verileri panel regresyon modelleri ile test edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda ise sermaye yapısı ile aktif kârlılığı ve özsermaye kârlılığı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı negatif yönlü bir ilişki tespit edilmiş, ancak Tobin Q ile istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamamıştır.
