자산재평가 조기실시 기업의 재무적 특성과 재평가잉여금의 주가관련성

Abstract

As companies which voluntarily took part in asset revaluation as the subject before K-IFRS became obligatory, this research will study the changes in debt ratio before and after the implementation of the system. After the preliminary analysis of the changes in debt ratio, it will verify any difference in financial characteristics of companies which took part in revaluation in the year of 2008, the first year which revaluation was legally permitted, in comparison with the year of 2009. Moreover, any difference in financial, non-financial characteristics between companies which voluntarily took part in revaluation and those which did not at all will also be verified. Subsidiarily, it will verify the relevance of stock price with revaluation surplus and variable of debt ratio fluctuations. According to the preliminary analysis the average debt ratio of companies who took part in the revaluation showed an average debt ratio of 258.5% before the revaluation and 178.3% after. Showing a reduction of almost 80%. After the revaluation 4.6% of capital adequacy ratio and 1% of return on equity showed statistically meaningful. Fluctuations of financial ratio in comparison of before and after the revaluation after categorizing data into markets and yearly segments showed no drastic difference in results as well. Like the result of various similar researches, such outcome supports that the main intention of a company which takes part in a revaluation is to improve the status of debt ratios and to benefit from its effect on improving financial affairs. The result of a hypothesis testing reveals that, first of all, the results for the comparison to find differences within all financial characteristics including the debt ratio between the businesses that were revaluated in 2008 and those that were revaluated in 2009, were unexpected with there not being a statistically significant difference in each year’s debt ratio, however, other characteristics showed significant differences in statistics. Secondly, between the companies(404) that have undergone revaluation in 2008 and 2009, and comparative companies(404) that have similar asset sizes and sales volume that have not undergone revaluation were separated into two groups to compare financial ratios, which turned out that each group did show significant statistical differences. Such result revealed that those businesses that do undergo revaluation had a weaker financial structure compared to those that did not undergo the process, creating problems when it came to financing, therefore, it seems as though revaluation is a way of complementary measures. Thirdly, as the main reason for revaluation is for the reduction of the debt ratio and financial structure improvement, businesses with a higher debt ratio difference before and after revaluation will be in favor of it. Depending on a businesses’ size of difference in debt ratio, the stock multiples of the revaluation surplus have proven to differ, and showed that the stock multiple for revaluation surpluses for businesses with high differences in debt ratio is a negative (-)number. Such results conclude that businesses with a higher range in difference in debt ratio before and after revaluation exists in a negative relationship with the stock price.
