Debt Restructuring and Financial Performance SOEs in Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of debt restructuring on the financial performance of state-owned companies in Indonesia. Debt restructuring is carried out to provide support in the form of leeway for companies that are experiencing financial difficulties so that they can get out of the problem within a certain period. The samples taken and selected in this study were based on purposive sampling for SOEs companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange with financial statement data for the period 2018-2022. There are three research models tested using multiple regression analysis. The results showed that there was a decrease in financial performance after the company restructured its debt, both financial performance as measured by profitability, liquidity and sustainable growth rate. The decline in financial performance can be caused, among others, by the use of restructuring methods by extending the maturity of debt payments (rescheduling) which causes a decrease in the amount of short-term debt, including affecting the decline in the company's profit growth.
