Book excerpt: This study directed to analyze financial performance of state-owned companies comparatively -- prior and after privatization -- to determine the effect of privatization to financial performance of these companies. For this purpose, the required annually financial statements information of 11 such companies considered in the period. Then the information was related to four major financial variables extracted. These are rate of return on equity (ROE), net sales growth (NSG) rate, net profit growth (NPG) rate and the ratio of sales to total assets which considered as dependent variable and privatization over the period was considered as independent variable. Time trend over the time (the years studied) also were considered as independent variable to explore the effect of privatization and time trend separately on dependent variables. In order to examine the effect of privatizing we take advantage of Paired T-Test and regression analysis with indicator variables. The results of the regression analysis with indicator variables revealed that ROE after privatization increased while the rate of NPG with the ratio of sales to total assets decreased and no significant differences observed in the rate of NSG after privatization.
