Abstract: At the level of Romania, very few studies approach the issue of how mergers can influence the medium-term financial performance of the participating companies. International studies often obtain contradictory results when measuring the impact of mergers on the financial performance. This study aims at analysing the merger transactions that took place in Romania during the year 2011, in the trading sector. A total of 87 companies involved in merger deals were included in the sample. As measurements for the financial performance, the net turnover, the net profit and the return on sales rate have been chosen. The results show that mergers din not have a positive impact on the financial performance of the absorbing companies for the three years following the reorganizing operation. It has been identified a decrease in terms of profitability for the absorbing companies, only the level of net turnover recording significant increases in the medium term.
