The financial performance was quantified by the accounting indicators: return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE).Factors through which the impact on financial performance was analyzed are: capital structure (short-term indebtedness, long-term indebtedness, leverage), liquidity, capital intensity, growth opportunities, effective tax rate, net margin rate, market indicators (EPS, PER).The time period considered for our analysis covers 5 financial years for the period 2017-2021, with the necessary data being extracted for each company for the mentioned period. Following the analysis we found a negative correlation between the return on assets and the effective tax rate. Regarding the existing correlation between leverage and long-term debt, current liquidity, and capital intensity, we can see that it is moderate.
