1 Firm internationalization and performance: case of companies listed at the Warsaw Stock Exchange Mariusz-Jan Radło 1, Dorota Ciesielska Abstract: In this study we test two hypotheses. The first of these is that there is a linear relationship between the level of internationalization of companies and their profitability. While the second hypothesis is that the relationship is U-shaped. The results of our econometric modelling of the impact of internationalization of Polish companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange on their performance - measured by return on assets and return on equity - confirmed the hypothesis of a U-shaped relationship between these phenomena. This means that the internationalization in the initial phase may lead to a fall in their profitability, but with increasing internationalization we can expect an increase of profitability ratios. This observation is consistent with the results of other studies on the issue in question and raises important implications for both short and long-term decisions taken by the company and stock investors. Jel code: Keywords: internationalization, international diversification, performance 1 Corresponding author: Mariusz-Jan Radło, World Economy Research Institute, Warsaw School of Economics, al.

2 1. Introduction One of the most important issues for companies opting for internationalization is to assess the impact of going abroad on the economic performance of the company. As indicated by Hennart (2007) the multinationality-performance relationship has been investigated by many researchers and described in over 100 empirical studies. Their theoretical approaches varied, including such perspectives like: portfolio diversification, resource based view, organizational learning theory, etc. Three key arguments in the literature explaining expected growth of profitability of companies as a result of internationalization include: exploitation of scale economies, better and more flexible access to resources, and learning. Nonetheless, findings of various empirical studies do not confirm that there is general positive dependence between internationalization and performance of companies. Some authors indicate a positive effect, other negative. There are also studies suggesting that there are no relationship between multinationality and performance or the relationship varies depending on the stage of internationalization, and is U-shaped or sigmoid (S-shaped). In addition, most studies describing the mentioned phenomenon relates to companies from developed markets and still there are very few studies based on data for emerging market multinationals. The development of emerging market multinationals is relatively new phenomenon, and some authors suggest that traditional theories - based on experience of multinationals from developed economies - cannot explain internationalization of companies from emerging markets. Thus the relationship between multinationality and performance in their case can also be different than that in case of multinationals from developed economies. In the above perspective, the aim of this paper is to assess the impact of the internationalization of Polish enterprises. This paper adds value to the existing research in a two areas. Firstly, it tests the hypothesis of a linear and U-shaped impact of internationalization on profitability of companies and shed additional light on this relationship. Secondly, it tests the mentioned relationship using data for companies - listed at the Warsaw Stock Exchange - that are still in relatively early stage of internationalization, and may reflect experiences of emerging market multinationals - thus our findings may also explain nature of internationalization of companies from emerging markets. 2. Empirical findings: stylized facts As shown in Table 1 there are various studies testing the impact of internationalization on companies. Studies enumerated there can be divided into a few groups depending on relationship between multinationality and performance. The first group of studies are these indicating that there is no mentioned relationship or the relationship is very weak. In example Tallman et al. (1996) in their study based on data for 192 large manufacturing corporations from the United States show that there is no relationship between the level of internationalization and profitability of enterprises, or the relationship is very weak. The level of internationalization was measured by the income from sales abroad in total revenues and the number of countries in which various companies located their foreign direct investments. Similarly, Singla and George (2013) pointed out the lack of impact of multinationality on the profitability of companies. They study was based on data for 237 exporting Indian companies listed on the stock exchange. Among these companies 101 were also foreign direct investors. The mentioned authors have indicated that that a lack of clear relationship between the performance companies and the internationalization may partly be due to the size of the Indian market, which is relatively absorbent. These authors suggest, however, that the results of their research, allow to formulate thesis that the higher the level of internationalization may increase the possibility of obtaining the benefits of internationalization. Other studies have shown, however, that there is a significant positive linear relationship between internationalization and profitability. This was confirmed in example by Ramsey et al. (2012), who

3 pointed out that the relationship between internationalization and profitability is positive and linear. This is due to the fact that with increasing involvement in activities abroad, companies should acquire knowledge about running operations in international markets which should lead to better financial results. Gaining experience about the specificity of foreign markets will then lead to increasing the presence of companies on foreign markets, what - in turn - increase focus of managers on internationalization of companies. However, most studies presented in the mentioned table - support both positive and negative impact on the profitability of internationalization that varies with the degree of internationalization Table 1 The results of selected studies showing the impact of internationalization on the performance and value of companies Author, publication date Data Results Tallman, LI, large companies from the US, The level of internationalization has a positive but weak effect on data for 1988 the financial results of companies.

The U-shaped relationship between internationalization and profitability was confirmed by the Ruigrok and Wagner (2003). They indicated, however, that the exact shapes of U-curve may vary. This may be due to differences in international expansion opportunities arising between countries. They also show the importance of learning and acquiring knowledge of a foreign operation that occurs in the process of internationalization and its impact on the profitability of the company. Similar results were also obtained Contractor et al. (2007), who analyzed the impact on the profitability of the internationalization of 291 Indian companies in Also Hsu and Pereira (2008) supported the hypothesis of U-shaped multinationality-performance relationship - based on analysis of data for 110 US multinationals. They pointed out that the acquisition of market and social experience related to internationalization - i.e. learning processes - explain the analyzed relationship. The U-shaped relationship between internationalization and profitability was also confirmed by Capar and Kotabe (2012) who analyzed data for 81 German companies in the service industries.

4 Similar results were also presented by Bolaji and Chris (2014). They analyzed the performance of 22 Nigerian banks and relations between their profitability of internationalization in Their study indicated the presence of a strong positive relationship between internationalization and profitability of the analyzed entities. This relationship, however, was not linear character. In the initial period there was a decrease in the internationalization of the profitability of banks. This was explained by the Uppsala model according to which at the initial stages of internationalization companies face a number of difficulties arising from insufficient knowledge of a foreign operation and cultural differences. As a result, at an early stage of internationalization companies are not able to reap the financial benefits related to internationalization. Nonetheless, with the passage of time and after gaining experience the corporate strategy will be adjusted to the specificity of international markets, the costs of operations on foreign markets will diminish, and profitability of internationalized companies will increase. Interestingly, some authors, indicate that the relationship between internationalization and performance is sinusoid (or S-shaped). Such relationship between internationalization and profitability was confirmed by survey results of Riahi-Belkaoui (1999) for the 100 US corporations in manufacturing and service industries. Similar results were also presented by Chen and Hsu (2008). Their analysis was based on data for 224 Taiwanese companies in the years They indicated that the impact on the profitability of internationalization at the beginning of internationalization is negative, nonetheless after exceeding a certain level of internationalization it is positive, but then after exceeding higher levels of internationalization the relationship turns to be negative again. 3. Hypothesis, data, and model In this study we set the two hypotheses. The first of these is that there is a linear relationship between the level of internationalization of the Polish companies and their profitability. While the second hypothesis is that the relationship is U-shaped. To investigate these hypotheses we proposed - following Capar and Kotabe (2003) - two regression models describing linear and curvilinear impact of internationalization on profitability. These models took shape: 1. R = β 0 + β 1 Assets + β 2 F_rev + e 2. R = β 0 + β 1 Assets + β 2 F_rev + β 3 sq_f_rev + e where: R - profitability, Assets - value of total assets, F_rev the share of foreign revenues in total revenues, sq_f_rev - square of F_rev. The first formula represents linear model - describing linear relationship between the level of internationalization and profitability. While the second formula tests curvilinearity - i.e. U-shaped relationship between the level of internationalization and profitability. In this formula we added variable sq_f_rev. We assume, that if R-squared for the second model will be higher than the R- squared for the first model, and the second model will indicate higher and statistically significant impact of variable sq_f_rev on the depending variable (ROA or ROE) then U-shaped relationship between internationalization and profitability will be confirmed. In both models we use Assets as a control variable. The models were estimated using OLS regression (see: Capar i Kotabe, 2003). The model was tested using cross-sectional data for 75 companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. We took data only for those companies that in 2013 possessed foreign subsidiaries. The study used data on internationalization and the company's financial results for The surveyed companies represent a variety of service industries and manufacturing. The variables used in the study, their definitions and characteristics are described in Table 2 and Table 3. In the study we use two alternative dependent variables describing profitability, i.e.: return

5 on assets (ROE), and return on equity (ROE). Average value of ROA for companies in our sample stood at around 5% and ROE at about 6.3%. Values of ROE values ranged from -13.8% to 75%. In turn, the ROE from -72% to 90.6%. Table 2 Variables used in the model Variable Assets ROA ROE F_rev sq_f_rev Table 2 Data characteristics Definition Total assets (in Polish zloty) Return on assets - ratio of net profit to the value of total assets Return on equity - ratio of net profit to equity value The share of foreign revenues in total revenues Square of share of foreign revenues in total revenues Variable Average value Median value Minimum value Maximum value ROA 0, , , , ROE 0, , , , Assets 2,52267e , 12912,0 5,16440e+007 F_rev 0, , , ,00000 sq_f_rev 0, , ,40000e-005 1, Results and discussion In Table 4 we present the results of estimation of the first (linear model) - with ROA as dependent variable.

The regression coefficient describing the impact of control variable is statistically insignificant. In contrast, both variables describing internationalization proved to be statistically significant. The regression coefficient describing the impact of internationalization turned out to be negative (p = ). While the regression coefficient of square variable describing the level of internationalization has been positive and higher than in the linear model at p = Moreover R-squared value in this model was higher than in the first model and amounted to 0.22 (in comparison to 0.11 in the first model). Summing up, the above results seems to confirm the existence of U-shaped relationship between profitability (measured by ROA) and internationalization (measured by share of foreign revenues in total revenues of the analyzed companies).

The regression coefficient describing the impact of the control variable is statistically insignificant. The regression coefficient describing the impact of the level of internationalization is negative, but statistically insignificant. The regression coefficient of the variable describing the square of the level of internationalization is statistically significant (p = ) and positive. Moreover in the second model the R-squared value, which amounts to 0.12, and is higher than in the first model (0.08). Summing up, the above tests also confirm the existence of U-shaped relationship between profitability (this time measured by ROE) and internationalization (measured by share of foreign revenues in total revenues of the analyzed companies).
