Abstract
This paper analyze the impact of working capital management particularly working
capital and capital structure on banking profitability. We apply panel estimation on
monthly data over 105 banks during the period of 2003 – 2013, covering State-owned
Bank, Foreign Exchange Public Bank, Non Foreign Exchange Public Bank, Regional
Development Bank, Foreign Bank and Mix Bank. The result shows a significant positive
effect of capital structure on banking profitability. The working capital also affect the
banking profitability positively. These findings emphasize the importance of the third
party fund for the bank, and the neeed to better manage their working capital.
Key words : Capital Structure, Working Capital, Bank Performance

1 INTRODUCTION
The monetary crisis on July 1997 caused the banking crisis and made banking industry to
plunge. Started from the Rupiah exchange value toward USA Dollar which depreciated
sharply, many activities in real sector and banking which earned loan in foreign
currencies experienced a difficulty to return the loan. This affected to the difficulties of
liquidity on baking sector, thus, it forced banks to increase their saving interest rate for
more than 70% in order to be able to attract the society’s fund and to fulfill the liquidity
needs. (Wardiah, 2013).
At that time, there were 38 liquidated banks, 9 banks were the private national
bank which followed recapitulation program and 73 private national banks which did not
follow the recapitulation program (Iskandar, 2013). Therefore, the government issued a
Law No. 10 Year 1998 about banking, as banking restructurization program. The Bank
Indonesia as the monetary authority also constructs the Indonesian Banking Architecture
as the base frame of the banking system in Indonesia, which strengthening the public
bank’s capitalization in order to increase the ability of bank to manage work and risk, to
develop the information technology, and to increase its work scale.
A good working capital management will help the firm to reach their goal on
maximizing profit. Profitability is one of the measurements of the firm’s performance.
To draw the ability of firm to gain profit, a ratio to is used to measure it.In banking
industry, the ratio to measure the ability of a bank to earn profit (profitability) is on asset
(ROA) and return on equity (ROE).
Some researches which focused on capital structure were Velnampy and Niresh
(2012), Taani (2013), Uniariny (2012), Sri Wahyuni (2012) and Mas’ud, Subroto, Salim
and Sutrisno (2013). Meanwhile, researches focused on Working capital were conducted
byAgyei and Yeboah (2011), Raheman, Afza, QoyyumdanBodla (2010), Vourikari
(2012) and Ganesan (2007). Velnampy and Niresh (2012) founded that 89% of the total
assets on banking sector in Sri Lanka was funded by debt. Whereas Taani (2013) founded
that net profit, return in capital employedand net interest margin influenced significantly
and positively toward the total debt, and it also found that the total debt was not a
significant determiner factor toward return on equity in banking industry in Jordan.
In Indonesia, the research about working capital and capital structure toward the
profitability in banking sector was conducted by Uniariny (2012) which found that capital
3
structure influence significantly toward the firm value while the intellectual capital did
not influence positively toward the firm value. Marberya and Suaryana showed that the
profit growth influenced toward the relation between Debt To Equity Ratio (DER) and
profitability.
Assessing the impact of working capital toward the banking performance becomes
the background of this paper. For banking industry, the role of working capital and its
management are different from any other industry. This is because the elements of
working capital of banking industry are different. The need of the management of
working capital and capital structure for banking industry is really important because until
today, banking industry has yet to play an optimum role in the economy of Indonesia.
Previous research studied more on manufacturing industry with little samples. Whereas
the samples use by the researcher are for about 105 conventional public banks which
operate all over Indonesia and has been registered on the website of Bank Indonesia.
The writer hopes that this paper can give reference on management of working
capital, capital structure, and profitability in banking industry in Indonesia. The next of
this paper outline capital structure, working capital, profitability and the role of external
toward Firm, section three metodology, section four analyses and discussion, section five
conclusions and suggestion.
2 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
2.1 Profitability
In general, profitability is used to measure firm performance ratio management activity
comprehensively based on the amount of earned profit as returning of capital working,
sales, and investment, expressed in percentage. Profitability can describe how well
company prospect in maintaining life continuity and developing its business in the future.
This situation assumes that company can retain its prospect in order to earn profit for
lives moreover expand the brighter business. This sort of good company will attract
investors to invest.
Profitability ratio applied in general namely Net Profit Margin = Earning After
Tax / Sales, Return on Investment = Earning After Tax / Asset in Total, or Return on Net
Worth = Earning After Tax / Equity (Tampubolon, 2005 : 39). Analogue with that,
4
rentability ratio also used often to analyze or appraise endeavor efficiency level and
profitability achieved by the relevant bank. (Dendawidjaya ; 2001 ; 119-122).The
Rentability ratio commonly used is Return on assets (ROA), measured the ability of bank
management related to gain profit and Return on Equity (ROE), which constitutes as
important indicator for stock holders and investor to determine bank proficiency
concerned with competence of earning after tax linked to dividend pay out.
Another rentability ratio is Operational Expense Ratio, measured the efficiency
grade and bank capability to conduct its operational activities. This ratio calculated as
percentage of operational cost to operational revenue (BOPO). Net Profit Margin (NPM)
is also rentability ratio estimated as earning after tax ratio to operational revenue. This
ratio refers to bank operational revenue especially from credit provision work, which
practically has several risks.
There are many factors influencing the firm’s profitability. Among those
determiner factors, this research focuses on the influence of structure, quantity and capital
management have by the financial institution bank. The next session from this chapter
will discuss one by one the factors which influence the firm’s performance.
2.2 Capital Structure
The analysis of capital structure is one of the elements of solvability analysis, and DER is
one of the indicators of the solvability. This ratio of solvability measures the ability of a
bank to fulfill its long term liability or the ability of a bank to fulfill its liabilities if bank
liquidation occurs (Dendawidjaya:2001: 122).
In this research Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) is used as the proxy of capital
structure. DER reflects the ability of firm to meet all its liabilities which are shown by
some parts of its capital used to pay the debt (Riyanto, 2005). The greater Debt To Equity
Ratio (DER) shows that the structure of financing relies much on relative debts toward
equity. The size of the ratio of capital structure relates the component of capital structure
from one to the other or with its total (Subramanyam:2010:270-271). Besides DER, the
other indicators of capital structure are Capital Adequency Ratio (CAR); Long Term Debt
to Assets Ratio; Total Debts to Total Capital; Total Debts to Equity Capital; and long
term debt toward equity.
According to Margaretha (2007:219) the capital structure presents the firm’s
permanent financing which consists of long term debt and capital. The capital structure is
5
the balance of the total of short term debt which is stable, long-term debt, preference
stock and stock (Halim, 2007). Other definition of capital structure is that the equity
financing and debt on a firm is sometimes counted based on the relative quantity as the
source of financing (Subramanyam, 2010:263). The capital structure of firm is influenced
by many factors in which mainly are rate interest, stability of the income, assets
composition, assets risk rate, total capital needed, stock market condition, management
characteristic and the firm size (Riyanto, 2001; 297-299).
The capital structure of the financial institution is fundamentally different from
non-financial firm, because the business characteristic or its operational activity is
different. Furthermore a bank has to have buffer based on the policy or regulation of the
supply of minimum core capital estimated by the monetary authority in which in this case
is the central bank, so that it will be able to protect its depositor’s fund (Saunders in
Siringgoringo,2012).
One of them is the capital structure was developed by Franco Modiglani and
Merton Miller in 1958, or more known as the theory of MM. It states that the firm value
depends on the future earning streams, and therefore, it does not depend on the capital
structure. Modigliani and Miller built their model with assumption that every firm had the
expectation of certain cash flow. When firm chose certain portion of debt and equity to
finance its assets, it meant as dividing cash flow across the types of investor. Investor and
firm were assumed to have the same access toward the financial market and possible them
to determine the leverage.
The other approach is dividend theory. This theory is also developed by
Modiglani and Miller, it stated that the dividend policy did not influence the firm value,
because every Rupiah of the dividend payment will lessen the retained profit used to buy
new assets.
Harry Markowitz (1990) proposed portofolio theory and capital asset pricing
model. Portofolio theory explained that risk can be decreased by combining some types of
risk assets rather by holding one type of asset only. This model, then, was developed by
Sharpe, John Litner and Jan Moissin became Capital Asset Pricing Model that separately
show that the level of profit signalized to certain risk assets was the function of three
factors, which were (i) the non-risk Profit Level; (ii) Profit Level on Portofolio signal
with average risk; and (iii) Volatility risk assets profit level.
6
Other theory about capital structure is Agency Theory. This theory is developed
by Michael C, Jensen and Wiliam H. Meckling. This theory emphasized the separation
between the owner and management. Agency problem arise when an individual (owner)
pays an individual (agen) to perform by his name, delegates his authority to make
decision to agent or its worker.
Husnan and Pudjiastutik (2008) propose pecking order theory, which based on the
asymmetric information, where management has more information (about prospect, risk,
and firm value) than what capitalist have. Besides, Brealey and Myers (1996) in Husnan
and Pudjiastutik (2008) implied that firm prefer internal financing. This is also supported
by Sebayang and Putra (2013) which state that firm gives priority to internal equity
financing (using retained profit) rather to external financing (publishing new stock)
Those capital structures theories above are applicable for non-financial firm and
also for banking industry (Marques and Santos in Siringgoringo, 2012). These capital
structure theories can be the first step to analyze the performance of banking in Indonesia.
If the influence of this capital structure is significant, then, probably there is the best
capital structure. Empirically, there are three indicators of capital structure (i) profit
before interest and tax; (ii) net profit before tax; and (iii) traditional approach, (Halim,
2007).
2.3 Working Capital Management
The working capital management related to the management of current asset elements and
current liabilities elements. The system of working capital management have five parts
that are related each others.

Firm effectiveness in managing its working capital can be measured by using
working capital turnover ratio. Working capital turnover period is started from when cash
is invested in working capital components to when it is come back again becoming cash.
The shorter the period, the faster the turnover.
Working capital policy is a strategy that is implemented by firm in order to fulfill
the needs of working capital with the alternative of funding source. Working capital
policy that could be taken by firm according to Sutrisno (2012:42-44) are:
a. Conservative policy; the plan for fulfilling working capital funding by using
more the long term funding source than the short term funding source.
b. Moderate policy; firm finances every asset with similar period with its assets
turnover period.
c. Aggressive policy; firm prefers to a more secured factor so that it result a
really big security margin, however it will cause profitability level becomes
low.
The chosen magnitude of working capital refer to the turnover period or working
capital period and the mean of daily cash period (Sjahrial, 2006:107). The working capital
period is the period needed for a cash invested into working capital elements to be a cash
again. Longer working capital period will increase the number of required working
capital and vice versa. The other factors that can influence the size of working capital are
the projection of daily cash needs on average and the implemented method of working
capital turnover.
Working capital management in service industry and manufacture are different
because the elements of its working capital are different. Working capital management is
the element management of current asset and current liabilities. The elements of current
asset are cash, negotiable papers, accounts receivable, treasury and financing (Harjito,
2006). Services industry used as analysis unit in this research is banking. The element of
working capital that is different from banking industry is treasury because banking
industry result services instead of product as the last result or output.
2.4 The Role of External Factor toward Firm Profitability
Industry Characteristic
Based on the capital intensify, it can be divided into two; first, intensive capital industry
is an industry that is built in a great number of capitals to conduct its operational activity.
8
Second; intensive capital industry is an industry emphasizing in the number of resources
belong to it in constructing and conducting this industry.
The industry type defines firm based on the scope of operation, firm risk and
ability in facing business challenge. Industry type is measured by dividing into high
profile and low profile industry. According to Novita Indrawati (2009), in general, high
profile companies are firm that get attention from the society because its operational
activity has potency to be touched with a wide interest. In other hand, low profile firm is a
firm that does not really get a wide attention from the society whenever its operation get
failed or miss in specific aspect in its process or production result (Sari,2012).
Monetary Policy
Capital management in banking is influenced by monetary policy. Monetary policy may
influence the real economy activity and price through the real economy (Ascarya:2012).
Other literatures explained by Ariccia et all (2010) states that monetary policy changes
the bank supervision (risk taken measurement) which depends on the stability of interest
rate, shifted risk and leverage.
The direct monetary policy is commonly used by central bank or monetary
authority in developing countries. Policy that is classified as direct can be in the form of
credit ceiling or credit influence the operational target by central bank as monetary
authority and the shapes are in the form of minimum liquidity, discount facility, open
market operation (OMO), the deposit facility of Bank Indonesia (FASBI), the re discount
facility which is funding facility provided by bank Indonesia for bank that need funding
through rediscounting its negotiable papers .

4 ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
4.1 Estimation Result
We estimate 4 (four) model specification, to test the sensitivity of estimation result
toward the specification of model. The estimation result of these four models shown on
Table 8. The Selection Test between Generalizes Least Square (GLS), Fixed Effect
Model (FEM) and Random Effect Model (REM) shows that the specification of FEM is
more precise relative to GLS or REM.
As what have been mentioned before, variables used on those four models above
include ROE or Return on Equity, DER or Debt Equity Ratio; NWC or Net Working
Capital; EQTA or Equity Quality to Total Asset; LOTA or Loan to Total Asset; PRTO
or Provision to Total Asset; DETA or Debt to Total Asset; NETA or Non interest
Expense to Total Asset; TOPB or Taxes Over Operating Profits Before Tax; DIV
or Diversification; Size or the size of Bank; INFL or Inflation; and GDP or Gross
Domestic Product. This research focuses on three (3) main variables: profitability (ROE),
capital structure (DER), and working capital (NWC).
Generally, the performance of Model 1 and Model 3 which are measured by R-
square (each is for about 99%), are better than that of Model 2 and Model 4 (each is for
about1,1% and 31,78%). Model 1 and Model 3 use variable of Debt to Equity Ratio
(DER) to represent the capital structure. On Model 2 and Model 4, Debt and Equity are
included separately on the model, as the ratio toward the total assets of bank.

4.1.1 The Influence of Capital Structure to Profitability
The estimation result shows a significant influence of capital structure toward
profitability of bank. Every 1 (one) percent of increase of Debt to Equity Ratio will cause
the increase of banking profitability for about 0,0056 percent (see Model 1 and Model 3).
This means that banking which tend to rely on external capital source in the form of debt
tend to have a greater performance.
On model 2 and 4, the variable of Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) is divided based on
its components which are debt and equity. The estimation result shows that DETA (Debt
to Total Assets) and EQTA (Equity Quality to Total Assets), in fact , cannot really
explain its dependent variables because the result of R2
are 0.011889 and 0.317799.
Besides, the divide of this variable components result an inconsistent estimation result
parameter toward hypothesis, in which the influence of the addition of debt capital will
only decrease the performance (-1,7 on Model 2 and -0,4 on Model 4).3
Back to Model 1 and Model 3, the estimation result gained is in a line with the
research conducted by Abor (2005) in Subhita & Asawalhah (2012) which states that
there is positive and significant influence of capital structure to profitability proxied by
ROEon the firm listed in Ghana Stock Exchange. The research conducted by Taani
(2013) on banking industry in Ghana also supports that statement. Saeed et.al. (2013)
support the statement that there are significant and positive between capital structure and
profitability on the banking industry in Pakistan. On the case in Indonesia, Wahyuni
(2012) also finds that the capital structure (DER) has positive and significant toward
profitability (ROE).
From six groups of bank (Shareholder, BPD, Foreign Exchange, Non-Foreign
Exchange, Mix, and Foreign), the debt of foreign banks are relatively high. The highest
debt within the group of state-owned bank is Bank Mandiri, with the value of debt Rp
542.000.000 (in thousands), while the lowest one is Regional Development Bank of

4.1.2 The influence of Working Capital toward Profitability
The estimation result shows that Net Working Capital (NWC) influence positively and
significantly the performance of bank, with coefficient of about 7. 96E-09. Thus, it can be
concluded that the improvement of working capital for about Rp1 billion, will result an
increase of ROE for about 7,9 per cent.
The positive influence of this working capital is supported by Agyei &Yeboah
(2011) which state that the elements of working capital influence significantly and
positively the profitability of the banking industry in Ghana. The research conducted by
Raheman, et al (2010) also supports that elements of working capital influence positively
and significantly toward the manufacturing sector in Pakistan.
However, the research conducted by Ganesan (2007) states that working capital
influence negatively and insignificantly toward the profitability of telecommunication
firm. This is supported by the research conducted by Saghir, et al (2011) on textile firm
in Pakistan that there is a negative but significant relation between the elements of
working capital and profitability.
As the illustration, on the group of state-owned bank, the biggest working capital
of state-owned bank belongs to BRI which is Rp1,43x108. Seen from figure 3 and 4 the

assets and liabilities on state-owned banks, bank mandiri greater than the value of their
assets bank bri, in terms of current debts when seen in the figure also shows the bank
mandiri debts greater than other similar banks. But the graph in Figure 8 shows that
working capital Bank BRI better than Bank Mandiri in terms of working capital
management. On November 2003 working capital Bank Mandiri has shown a great value
compared to Bank BRI, December 2005 to October 2010 Bank Mandiri working capital
and Bank BRI almost the same but after that Bank Mandiri increased working capital
compared to Bank BRI more stable. Adequate working capital make the firm to survive
during crisis, besides to meet up its current liabilities on time.

Figure5. The Graph of NWC of State-owned bank
Picture 6 shows the dynamics of working capital of state-owned bank, where the
net working capital of Bank Rakyat Indonesia tends to be more stable relative to other
bank on the group. This is supported by Picture 4 and 5 where the assets of BRI
experience an increase for the last 10 years; therefore BRI can cover his current liability,
even the debt of this bank also increase. Thus, the indicate of the liability is balanced by
the increase of its current assets, and even though its current liability goes up, the
management of Bank Rakyat Indonesia can manage its working capital so that it can save
its adequacy of working capital.
4.1.3 The Impact of External Factors on Profitability
Based on table 8 of estimation result, showing that SIZE (the bank size) has a positive
and significant influence on the model 3 and 4. It means that the greater the bank size the
greater the bank profit and vice versa. This statement is propped by Omar and Mutairi
(2008) assert that the bank size has positive effect. Moreover the researchers who support
this analysis result are Akhavein, Berger & Humhfrey, 1997; Bourke, 1989; Molyneux &
Thornton, 1992; Bikker & Hu, 2002; Goddard, Molyneux & Wilson, 2004 in Sufian &
Chong (2008). Whereas the research conducted by Athanasoglou et.al. in Omar &
Muatiri (2008) states that SIZE of bank does not affect on profitability.
On table 8 indicates that GDP has positive and not significant impact on model 2,
on the other hand model 1, 3, and 4 have positive and significant effect. These things are
driven by study of Sufian & Chong (2008) that do research on banking in Philipines and

also Roman & Danileteu (2013) executes case study on Romania banking which supports
model 1,3, and 4. Roman & Daniteleu research (2013) describe that GDP variable affects
positively and significantly at 1 % on profitability of Romania banking. Picture 12 shows
GDP graph that increases during research period from 2003 until 2013. This thing
represents that economic growth in Indonesia has increased from year to year and turned
out to be a positive impact on the profitability of banks in Indonesia.
The research result illustrates graph of fluctuate inflation movement from 2003
until 2013, i.e. in 2004 there is president election induces inflation increase from 0.36 in
March becomes 0.97 and 0.88 in April and May. The sharp Inflation fluctuation increase
occurs in 2005, which amounted to 17.11%. This year, the President of the Republic of
Indonesia established the reduction of subsidies for fuel oil so that the price of fuel has
increased. In May year of 2006 there was an earthquake in Central Java and Jogjakarta, so
that inflation increased from 0.05 in April to 0.37 in May. Fluctuations occurred in 2008
because of the global crisis ensued in the United States that ultimately affect the exchange
rate of Rupiah against Dollar.
Based on the estimation results of external factors variable, it can be concluded
that GDP variable effect on profitability which is supported by former research on
banking sector in various countries, as Philippines, Romania, Pakistan, Ghana, and
Tunisia. Most research conducted in several countries showed GDP variable is economic
growth variable in a country influence positively and significantly to profitability.
5 CONCLUSION
The aim of this research is to find out the influence of capital structure and working
capital toward the profitability of banking industry. By the samples of research are 105
conventional banks listed in the website of Bank Indonesia.
The result of the research concludes that the capital structure proxied by Debt to
Equity Ratio (DER)gives a positive and significant impact toward the variable of Return
On Equity (ROE),which means that the greater fund from debt (Debt to Equity Ratio), the
greater profitability(Return On Equity). This occurs because most of the capital used in
banking industry is debt or the third-party fund. And also the working capital which is
proxied by Net Working Capital (NWC) results a positive and significant influence
toward variable Return On Equity (ROE).This shows that the greater the value of Net
19
Working Capital, the greater profitability (ROE) of banking industry, which means that
the management is successfully managed the elements of working capital to have faster
turnover. Based on the results of the estimation of the variable Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) showed a positive and significant impact while the Inflation variables (INFL)
showed insignificant influence on almost all models tested so that it can be concluded that
external variables affect the profitability of variable is GDP.
It is hoped that banking industry pays attention to its capital management and to
improve its management and supervision on current assets and current liabilities in an
effective and efficient way to create a fast capital turnover so that it can improve its
profitability. Moreover, the fund source from debt is also needed to be noticed so that
banking will not experience a financial difficulty abd it can meet up its short-term and
long-term liability.
For the next research, it is hoped that it can make different model of variation so
that more external variables influence profitability are known and it can add more
samples number because in this research there are still many Islamic banks which have
yet to be included as the sample of the research.
