The review of the financial strategies of Polish wood-industry companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange

The review of the financial strategies of Polish wood-industry companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The paper focuses on the analysis of the financing strategies of wood industry enterprises listed on Warsaw Stock Exchange in 2018 - 2020. This paper examines three main values characterising company's financing strategy: equity capital share in total capital, equity capital share in fixed assets and long-term debt share in total debt. The data for calculations was taken from publicly available quarterly financial statements of analysed entities from 1st quarter of 2018 to 3rd quarter of 2020. The analysis showed that moderate financing strategy was used by Biofactory and KLON companies and an aggressive strategy was used by Standrew. KPPD financing strategy was not possible to clearly define due to the high volatility of values of examined ratios and depend on the considered period. The highest variability in the structure of foreign capital was observed in KLON - in this company the highest level of long-term debt was observed (above 70% of total debt).
