Este estudo teve como objetivo, identificar os determinantes da estrutura financeira das empresas portuguesas exportadoras para o mercado comunitário, que representa 80% do total das exportações nacionais. Assim, estudaram-se as 250 maiores empresas portuguesas exportadoras nesse segmento de mercado, de modo a identificar os principais condicionantes do financiamento da atividade dessas empresas e que possam dificultar a internacionalização dos competidores internacionais. Estudaram-se os dados económicos e financeiros do exercício mais recente com informação disponível (2015), sendo os resultados obtidos, comparados com os de outros estudos elaborados sobre o mesmo tema. Nos determinantes da estrutura financeira utilizaram-se as seguintes variáveis explicativas: o efeito de alavanca financeiro, a taxa efetiva de imposto, os outros benefícios fiscais, o custo de financiamento, o risco do negócio, a dimensão, as garantias colaterais, a reputação, os ativos intangíveis, a rendibilidade, o crescimento e o setor de atividade. De salientar que estas variáveis foram analisadas tendo em consideração o passivo total, o passivo de médio e longo prazo e o passivo de curto prazo.
Os resultados obtidos, demonstraram, que as variáveis custos financeiros, garantias colaterais e rendibilidade (e o efeito de alavanca financeiro que lhe estava associado) eram significativas em todos os modelos estudados, condicionando claramente a estrutura financeira das empresas analisadas. Por outro lado, verificou-se que o risco de negócio, os ativos intangíveis e o ritmo de crescimento, não eram estatisticamente relevantes em nenhum dos modelos. Quanto à variável associada às especificidades dos setores de atividade, evidenciou que as características intrínsecas ao funcionamento de cada tipologia de negócio, condicionam as estruturas financeiras das empresas. Relativamente às restantes variáveis analisadas, não foram significativas em simultâneo nos três modelos utilizados. A taxa efetiva de imposto e a reputação condicionavam o nível de endividamento total e de curto prazo. Os outros benefícios fiscais e a Dimensão apresentavam uma relação significativa apenas com o passivo de médio e longo prazo.
This study aimed to identify the determinants of the financial structure of Portuguese exporting companies to the Community market, which represent 80% of total national exports. Thus, we studied the 250 largest Portuguese exporting companies in this market segment, in order to identify the main constraints of the financing of the activity of these companies and that may hinder the internationalization of international competitors. The economic and financial data of the most recent exercise with available information (2015) were studied, and the results obtained, compared to other studies elaborated on the same theme. In the financial structure determinants, the following explanatory variables were used: financial leverage, effective tax rate, other tax benefits, financing cost, business risk, size, collateral guarantees, reputation, intangible assets, profitability, growth and the business sector. It should be noted that these variables were analyzed taking into account total liabilities, medium and long-term liabilities and short-term liabilities. The results showed that the variables financial costs, collateral guarantees and profitability (and associated leverage effect) were significant in all models studied, clearly determining the financial structure of the companies analyzed. On the other hand, it was verified that the business risk, the intangible assets and the growth rate, were not statistically relevant in any of the models. As for the variable associated with the specifics of the activity sectors, it was shown that the intrinsic characteristics of the operation of each type of business, condition the financial structures of the companies. Regarding the remaining variables analyzed, they were not significant simultaneously in the three models used. The effective tax rate and reputation conditioned the level of total and short-term indebtedness. The other tax benefits and the dimension had a significant relationship only with the medium and long-term liabilities.
