INTRODUCTION
Competition between companies in the financial sector is getting tighter, especially
amidst economic uncertainty which often gives rise to the risk of sudden bankruptcy. In
order to survive and grow, companies need to monitor their conditions and performance
regularly. This performance, which is primarily measured by profit, is an important
indicator in seeing a company's ability to survive in a competitive market. Profit can be

defined as the difference between the actual income obtained from business transactions
and the costs incurred to obtain that income in a certain period (Sholikhin et al., 2021;
Ningrum et al., 2024). The main purpose of running a business is to generate sustainable
profits. With profit, the company is able to cover operational costs and maintain the
continuity of its business. If the company's financial performance shows positive results,
then profit growth tends to increase. Conversely, if the company's performance is less than
optimal, profit growth tends to decline.
With the increasing economic growth, many new companies have emerged in various
commodity and service sectors. This adds to the variety and tightness of competition in
the financial market. Although each company has different goals, in general one main
goal that is expected is the achievement of long-term income. This long-term income will
maintain the sustainability of the company, even amidst the risk of bankruptcy that may
occur. Therefore, many companies focus on managing and allocating their financial
resources effectively, in order to maximize profits and support long-term business goals.
The company's financial performance itself can be measured through financial reports,
such as balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements, and statements of
changes in financial position. In addition, financial statement analysis requires the right
approach in order to provide relevant benchmarks in assessing the company's financial
health and strength (Rizki & Yandri, 2019; Opferkuch et al., 2021).
In 2022, the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) noted that many companies in the
financial sector face significant challenges and opportunities in maintaining the stability
of their financial performance. Various external factors such as interest rate fluctuations,
increasingly intense business competition, government regulatory policies, and global
market dynamics are factors that influence the company's financial stability. Financial
performance in this financial sector is very crucial, because it indicates the company's
ability to manage and optimize available resources. Strong financial performance can
provide a competitive advantage in the market and significantly increase the company's
value in the eyes of investors and other stakeholders (Kahupi et al., 2021; Oktaviani et al.,
2024).
Profitability is one of the most important aspects in measuring a company's financial
performance. Profitability indicates the level of a company's ability to generate profits
from assets owned or from capital used (Purba & Africa, 2019). Several factors that affect
profitability are liquidity ratio, capital structure, and company activity. The liquidity ratio
serves as an indicator of the company's ability to meet short-term obligations, while capital
structure relates to how the company manages financing sources, both from equity and
debt (Salman, 2019). Company activity measures the extent to which assets owned can
be used to generate income. The combination of these three factors greatly affects the level
of profitability of companies in the financial sector.
This study aims to analyze the effect of liquidity ratio, capital structure, and activity
on the profitability of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2023.
Thus, the results of this study are expected to provide deeper insight into the important
factors that affect profitability in the financial sector, as well as assist companies in
developing more effective financial strategies. In addition, this study is also expected to
contribute to the development of literature on financial performance in the financial sector
and provide a basis for investors to make the right investment decisions amidst dynamic
economic conditions.
LITERATURE REVIEW
A company's liquidity demonstrates its ability to meet short-term obligations.
Companies that can fulfill these commitments are considered liquid, while those that
cannot are classified as illiquid. This study evaluates liquidity using the current ratio,
which is calculated by comparing current assets on the balance sheet with current
liabilities. According to Sari (2021), profitability refers to a company's capacity to generate
profits through its capabilities and resources over a specific period. This is indicated by
the profit margin, which reflects the company's positive outlook for the future.

Capital Structure and
Activity

According to Anggrainy (2019), the capital structure, assessed through the level of
leverage, serves as an indicator of how much a business relies on debt to finance its assets.
This capital structure defines the ratio of a company’s equity to the debt used for asset
financing. A company’s financial performance is significantly influenced by its capital
structure, which in turn affects its overall financial situation. A low capital structure is
associated with increased profitability, while a high capital structure can lead to decreased
profitability. The use of substantial debt raises the interest burden on the organization,
increasing its obligations to meet debt repayments, which can ultimately heighten the risk
of bankruptcy (Nainggolan, 2022; Benmelech et al., 2024). Activity ratios measure a
company's efficiency in using its assets. This ratio measures the efficiency and efficacy of
the company's use of resources. Efficiency is applied, for example, in the areas of Sales,
Inventory, and Receivables, as well as in other areas. Activity ratios are used to assess a
company's capacity when carrying out daily operations (Jenni et al., 2019; Bazaluk et al.,
2022)
Financial performance is an evaluation of a company's capacity to carry out its
operations referring to financial regulations. Analyzing a company's financial records is
very important to assess its financial performance (Akbar & Fahmi, 2020). In measuring
the performance and financial health of a company in the financial sector, there are
several indicators used, including liquidity ratio, solvency, and profitability. Liquidity
ratio measures the company's capacity to meet short-term obligations. A higher
percentage indicates the company's obligations to creditors are guaranteed. This ratio
assesses the company's ability to meet short-term obligations through the use of its existing
assets (Nirawati et al., 2022). Lee (2022), found that a higher current ratio correlates with
an increase in the current asset component, resulting in a greater risk of idle capital and
potential loss of profits for the organization. If receivables increase, there is a potential
danger of uncollectible receivables or bad debts, thereby reducing income. Excess
inventory can be harmful to a business because it increases warehousing and maintenance
costs. When these costs are high, they can impede future income and decrease the profits
generated by the organization. Research by Wage et al. (2021); Sulasti (2022); Ihsan et al.
(2023), indicates that the liquidity ratio can positively influence profitability. However, a
study by Nadeak & Pratiwi (2019), found that the combined effects of liquidity and capital
structure ratios only account for 22.5% of a company's profitability.
H1: The liquidity ratio has significant effect on company's profitability
Capital structure represents the balance between short-term liabilities, long-term
liabilities, preferred stock, and common stock. Capital structure represents the balance
between the use of long-term debt and equity financing. This shows that the quantity of
equity and long-term debt is used to increase equity optimization. In essence, capital
structure refers to the company's funding sources, especially the combination of debt and
equity used to pay for its operational activities. If the company's debt exceeds its own
capital, the company can experience losses (Yanti & Darmayanti, 2019)
Capital structure theory outlines a company's financial strategy, emphasizing the
balance between debt and equity to optimize its value. When a company's debt surpasses
its equity, it poses significant risks to investors, which may lead to substantial dividends.
While high risk can decrease a stock's price, it may also increase due to these large
payouts. A company's stock price reflects its value; thus, when the stock price rises, the
overall value of the company also increases. Research by Rohendi & Sudradjat (2021),
found that solvency has a negative effect on profitability. Capital structure indicates the
company's capacity to settle its obligations using its assets, meaning that assets are used
as collateral for the debt. This study evaluates solvency through the use of the debt-to-
equity ratio (DER), which measures the proportion of a company's debt relative to its
equity (shareholders' funds). In this DER, debt is anticipated not to exceed equity, because
a scenario like this will result in an increase in interest expenses that must be paid. Based
on the findings of Gea & Natalia (2020) and Sulasti (2022), said that the value formed by

the influence of the company's capital structure ratio can provide an increase in the
company's profitability value, not only by increasing its profitability but also being able to
encourage the company's legitimacy value in society.
H2: Capital structure ratio has significant effect on company's profitability value
The profitability ratio assesses the overall success of management by evaluating the
amount of profit generated compared to sales and investments. Meanwhile, according to
Nirawati et al. (2022), the profitability ratio evaluates the company's capacity to generate
profits. According to the expert's opinion, it can be concluded that the profitability ratio
is the ratio used to assess the company's capacity to seek profits. This ratio assesses the
level of return or profit in relation to sales or assets, evaluating the company's capacity to
generate profits related to sales, assets, or equity. This ratio shows the management's
ability to generate profits and is the end result of many policies and actions taken by
management. Profit growth refers to the change in annual profits, expressed as a
percentage. Increased profit growth can affect the rate of return for current and potential
investors, so that it can guide their investment decisions. Thus, profit growth is very
crucial for companies and investors (Block et al., 2019). One way to assess the quality of
a performance is through the level of output produced by a company. Financial
performance assessment is carried out using financial ratios taken from financial
statements. This is referred to as the company's basic factors, which are assessed through
technical fundamental analysis and financial ratio analysis. An increase in the asset
turnover ratio indicates that the organization is increasing the efficiency of its asset
management, which indicates an increase in sales levels. This explanation is reinforced
by research from Jenni et al. (2019), which found that total asset turnover had a significant
effect in relation to profitability.

METHODS
This study uses an associative quantitative approach with secondary data sourced from
the annual reports of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the
2023 period. Sampling was carried out using a purposive sampling method with specific
criteria: companies must consistently publish financial reports during 2023, use the rupiah
currency, and include values for the liquidity ratio, capital structure, asset activity ratio,
and profitability. Based on these criteria, 97 companies were obtained that met the
requirements, making the total research sample 97 companies. Data analysis used the
classical assumption test and multiple regression with SPSS version 29. The financial
sector was chosen because it plays an important role in assessing the health and stability
of a country's economy. This sector supports Indonesia's economic growth, especially

after experiencing significant developments after the 1997 Asian financial crisis
(Adityawan, 2023). This study measures several key financial ratios to assess company
performance. The profitability ratio, represented by Return on Equity (ROE), assesses the
rate of return for shareholders. The liquidity ratio, calculated using the Current Ratio,
shows the company's ability to meet its short-term obligations. Debt to Equity Ratio
(DER) reveals the extent to which a company uses debt compared to its equity capital.
The Total Asset Turnover activity ratio provides an overview of the effectiveness of asset
use in generating sales. These ratios collectively provide valuable insights to stakeholders
into the financial health and performance of a company.

Then in the measurement of classical assumptions presented with the acquisition of
normal normality values with a value of 0.250 (> 0.05). Measurements on
multicollinearity and heteroscedasticity also found that the data is normal data with no
indication of multicollinearity and heteroscedasticity because it obtained a VIF value of
≤ 10 and a sig value of not less than 0.05. Another finding in the autocorrelation test was
carried out by identifying if the DW value finding is more than +2 or below -2 then there
can be a chance of the hypothesis being rejected but a Durbin Watson value of 0.378 was
found so that it was said that the data did not have symptoms of autocorrelation.

The findings are then entered into the regression. Furthermore, the measurement of
the f value on each test variable is 0.006, which is a value that is worthy of further study
because it is less than 0.05. Furthermore, it is known that the r square value on a test
model is 0.149 or 14.9% explained that the value is known for the influence given by the
liquidity ratio, capital structure ratio, and asset activity ratio of the company on the
profitability of the company with the finance sector.

The findings stated that the measurement of the current ratio or liquidity ratio gets a
sig value of 0.014 with a t value of 2.510 which states that the first hypothesis test is
accepted because the sig value measurement result is not more than 0.05. From the results
of the study mentioned, there is evidence that shows that liquidity has a significant effect
on the profitability of companies in the financial sector. This also proves that good
liquidity gives companies financial flexibility that allows them to take advantage of
business opportunities quickly. This creates conditions conducive to increasing profits
because companies are not only able to survive short-term obligations but also invest in
efforts to increase revenue (Ningrum et al., 2024).
Therefore, adequate liquidity can increase a company's ability to generate profits, as
evidenced by Yameen et al. (2019), which states that liquidity has a partial positive impact
on profitability. Not only that, liquidity refers to how quickly a company's assets can be
converted into cash to meet its short-term obligations. When a company has a high level
of liquidity, this means that the company has enough funds to pay debts, provide
dividends to shareholders, fund operations, and make investments that can generate
income in the future. Several previous studies also support this finding, as explained by
Yameen et al. (2019), who found that liquidity has a positive impact on profitability
partially. Similar things were also conveyed by Wage et al. (2021); Sulasti (2022); Ihsan
et al. (2023), who emphasized that there was a strong and significant influence on the
level of profitability. This finding is consistent with financial theory which states that good
liquidity can support the growth of company profits.
The second measurement is proven by conducting on factors influenced by the capital
structure ratio to profitability, the measurement is proven by the results of the findings of
a significant value of less than 0.05 or 0.47 with a t value of 2.015 which states that the
second hypothesis test is accepted because the figure found is not more than the maximum
research limit (<0.05). The results of this study reveal that capital structure has a positive
effect on company profitability, which means that companies with well-managed capital
structures tend to experience increased profitability (Sulasti, 2022).
Capital structure refers to the balance between debt and equity used to finance
company activities. An effective capital structure allows companies to reduce capital costs
while maintaining a balance between risk and expected returns. Several theories also
mention the Trade-Off Theory model. Megawati et al. (2021) state that companies need
to balance the tax benefits of debt (tax shield) with the risk of bankruptcy that may arise
from the use of excessive debt. An optimal capital structure is able to maintain a balance
between risk and return, which in turn increases net income per share. Thus, decisions
related to capital structure, such as the proportion of debt and equity, are essential in a
company's financial strategy. Wise use of debt can increase profits through savings in
capital costs, provided that the financial risks incurred remain under control. The results
of these studies, including those from Gea & Natalia, (2020); Sulasti (2022), support the
conclusion that a well-managed capital structure can maximize returns and increase a
company's stock returns.
The next measurement is the measurement of profitability which is influenced by the
company's asset activity ratio, based on the findings it is stated that the sig value is below
the fixed value of 0.05 so that the third hypothesis is accepted. This is in line with research
developed by Jenni et al. (2019). Increasing asset turnover indicates that the company is
increasingly effective in managing its assets, which contributes to operational efficiency.

In other words, the faster the company turns over its assets, the greater the potential sales
volume and profit that can be achieved. This shows that good asset management not only
supports sales, but also has the potential to increase overall profitability. Therefore,
companies need to focus on strategies to improve TATO as one way to optimize financial
performance by optimizing asset management by conducting periodic audits of owned
assets to ensure that all assets are used efficiently. Identify unproductive assets and
consider selling or deactivating them with audit actions, the company can cut the budget
for the company's operational needs.
CONCLUSION
Data findings indicate that a high liquidity ratio significantly impacts profitability.
Companies with ample liquidity are better equipped to avoid financial disruptions, thus
ensuring smooth operations and enhanced profitability. In addition to liquidity, capital
structure and asset activity management are also crucial for profitability growth. By
balancing debt and equity, companies can leverage the benefits of debt to amplify returns
while maintaining the financial stability that strong equity provides. An optimal blend of
both can enhance profitability by optimizing capital costs and mitigating financial risk.
Companies’ adept at managing liquidity, capital structure, and asset activities achieve a
stronger competitive position, paving the way for sustained profit growth. The analysis
also reveals an f-square value with a significance level of 0.006, indicating a statistically
significant effect. However, the model’s r-square value is relatively low, at 14.9%,
suggesting that the independent variables explain only a small portion of the variance in
profitability. This finding implies that while the examined factors are essential, additional
variables likely contribute to profitability and should be considered in future analyses for
a more comprehensive understanding.

... Leverage measures how much a company relies on borrowed funds in its capital structure compared to funds from shareholders (equity) (Ramadanti et al., 2024). Excessive use of debt can put a corporation in a risky situation, as it may push the company into a very high leverage category, where it becomes trapped in a pile of debt that is difficult to pay off (Supriono, 2022;Syahputra, 2024). ...

This study aims to examine the effect of credit growth, investment decisions, audit quality, and the financial expertise of directors and commissioners on sustainable finance in the Indonesian banking sector. The sample consisted of 47 banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2021–2023, with a total sample size of 136. The data used is secondary data obtained from financial reports, annual reports, and sustainability reports of banking companies. Data analysis was carried out using the multiple regression method with SPSS version 21. The results of the study show that credit growth has a significant positive effect on sustainable finance, indicating that increasing credit can support the achievement of sustainability goals in the banking sector. On the other hand, investment decisions, audit quality, and the financial expertise of directors and commissioners do not show a significant effect on sustainable finance. This finding suggests that, while other factors are important in corporate management, credit growth remains the primary factor contributing to sustainable finance in the Indonesian banking sector.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a new methodological approach to complex assessment of coal-mining enterprises basing on the evaluation of technological schemes from the viewpoint of their susceptibility to innovations. To solve the specified problems, a complex method has been used. The method involves geometrical interpretation of a task of determining boundary parameters of technological schemes, application of criteria-based estimations for determining a level of production efficiency, and use of complex index of economic re liability. For the first time, optimality criteria for innovation management in coal industry have been proposed; they take into consideration a level of organization of innovations, organization of innovative production system, and organization of innovative production process. A complex index “internal potential of technological networks” has been developed, being one of the essential parameters for evaluating coal mine conditions. It has been identified that its formation is the result of the influence of certain factors determining the underground mining efficiency and, first of all, the coal mine property—spatial development. According to the represented concept, a policy of optimal control for maintaining the operating mine capacities is based on the evaluation of remained reserves, substantiated planning of a stoping line, and correspondence of extraction equipment to the operating conditions. It is possible to increase the concentration of production by redistributing the remained reserves and integration of mines by mining operations; that makes it possible to concentrate resources within those parts of a mine field where the effect will show its maximum. Modelling of such problems is based on a system of constraints without any requirements for providing the planned mine loading, obligatory in the past. Analysis of the indices of efficiency of coal-mining technological schemes and accounting of the developed factual system of indices have helped elaborate recommendations concerning the use of optimality criteria in the organizational tasks of assessment of the potential of technological scheme of mines. Further application of graphs and network models will allow optimizing the mining production parameters. Consequently, the carried out research has resulted in a new system as for innovation management in a mining complex.

A growing commitment from companies to implement circular economy (CE) strategies demands the development of guidelines for consistent related external communication. The fields of non-financial reporting and sustainability are well established with numerous available international reporting frameworks and approaches; however, there is still an absence of standardised reporting principles and procedures for publishing progress on circularity. In this context, this article aims to explore how companies could include CE within their corporate sustainability reports, through an academic literature review and content analysis of existent reporting approaches. Results showed a clear disconnection between CE and sustainability reporting literature. Overall, only a few of the revised reporting approaches explicitly mention CE, and the guidance given to companies is very general, inconsistent and places the responsibility of selecting performance assessment approaches on the companies. The analysis contributes to identifying opportunities for transparent external communication of CE issues, as well as exploring the challenges and limitations.

This study aims to examine the correlation between Islamic banks' profitability in Indonesia and the business cycle, which measured by composite leading Indicator (CLI). This study used several annual data covering the period from 2004-2018. This study utilizes Islamic banks profitability represent by Return on Asset (ROA) data as the dependent variable, CLI data as the dependent variable, and six control variables including Gross Domestic Product, Inflation, Financial to Deposit Ratio, Capital Adequacy Ratio, Non-Performing Finance, and Operating Costs Operating Income. This study adopted multiple regression analysis by using EViews 9.0 software. This study reveals that CLI has a positive and significant impact on ROA, which indicated that the expansion of business cycle activities would increase Islamic banks' profitability. Thus, this study suggests that Islamic bank should engage with the companies that relied on their business activities in the rill sector to boost their profitability. The limitation of this study is this study adopted Indonesian Islamic banks in general. Therefore, this study does not capture the correlation amongst the variables in the specific Islamic banks and region, which might be different from this result due to the differences in banks' internal conditions, culture, and the business cycle in the various region. Keywords: Business cycle, composite leading indicator (CLI), profitability, Islamic bank

The share of secured debt issued (as a fraction of total corporate debt) declined steadily in the United States over the twentieth century. This stems partly from financial development giving creditors greater confidence that high‐quality borrowers will respect their claims even if creditors do not obtain security upfront. Consequently, such borrowers prefer retaining financial flexibility by not giving security up front. Instead, security is given contingently–when a firm approaches distress. This also explains why, superimposed on the secular decline, the share of secured debt issued is countercyclical. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved

Sustainability has gained momentum in literature as government and non-governmental policymakers to fight climate change. Sustainability principles can be good for business and the economy, but businesses have been slow to replace non-sustainable products with sustainable ones. We argue that this is because businesses have a harder time seeing how to build a stronger competitive advantage with sustainable products than they have with the products they already offer. This study thus addresses the question of how sustainable innovators can build competitive advantage around sustainable products. Stakeholder theory advises business owners to build products around the interests of all stakeholders. This paper thus uses a grounded theory approach based on a series of interviews with fifteen key business stakeholders: entrepreneurs, investors, customers, and academics/NGO representatives. There are four major and interconnected findings, viz: (1) investors are the most doubtful concerning sustainable innovations, while customers are receptive and keen to be involved; (2) sustainable entrepreneurs are subsequently advised to make sure that the underlying business case of their firm is well developed as much as the product; (3) the overall barrier hindering the success of some sustainable innovations is not their cost, but the human nature to put off change until problems become critical; and (4) at the moment, investing in sustainable innovations is more attractive in regions with positive sustainability regulations such as California and some European countries.
