Abstract
This study investigates the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial performance of Indian companies. Using multiple regression analysis on a sample of 2154 public companies, the study determines the effects of the pandemic on the financial performance measured by Return on Assets (ROA). Findings reveal that there was an improved performance in the postpandemic year. It is also observed that the family firms outperformed their non-family counterparts. Family ownership, liquidity, size, and revenue growth positively affect firm ROA while leverage has a negative effect. Age and receivables turnover has no significant effect. Similar trends are witnessed when the performance is measured using Return on Equity (ROE).
