Hence, interpreting financial performance as a function of inventory holding, the results suggest a positive
relation between inventory holding and financial performance; i.e. those firms with the lowest inventory also show
the worst performance (and vice versa). These results were also confirmed when a multiple regression was
conducted, showing a highly significant ( p50.01) positive influence of inventory-to-sales on firm performance.
These results are reported in Table 4.
To investigate how much inventory successful companies are carrying, we have to reverse our analysis in terms
of dependent and independent variables. Analysing the IS ratios, we find no significant differences between the
means of the high (0.207) and medium (0.189) Z00 deciles, but highly significant (p50.01) differences compared with
the low IS decile (0.086). Obviously, firms with medium to high financial performance have significantly higher
inventories than low-performing firms – more than twice the size. While low-performing firms have an inventory
turnover of almost 12 on average, it is less than five for high-performing firms (Tables 5 and 6).
Although we detect highly significant decreasing IS ratios over time for our complete sample, there is no trend
for low- and medium-performing firms. Nevertheless, firms with the highest financial performance show a
significant downsizing of inventories, whereas the difference between high- and low-performing firms is significant
(Figure 4 and Table 7).
Understanding inventory as a function of a firm’s financial performance, our results again suggest a positive
relationship between inventory holding and financial performance, as low-performing firms carry the least
inventory, whereas high- and medium-performing firms also have the highest inventory in stock.
