Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to perform factor analysis on financial ratios calculated using consolidated financial statement data from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, which are disclosed by Japanese companies, and to classify financial ratios.
The analysis provided evidence to suggest that both net income and cash flows from operating activities are functioned as financial performance measures with similar properties. We also find that capital efficiency is an important factor. Furthermore, there is also evidence that cash flows from investing activities and cash flows from financing activities have a common factor.
