Abstract

Project Financing (PF) is a financing method, executed based upon the projected profitability from a project itself instead of relying on the credit rating of project sponsors or any type of collateral. However, most financial institutions of Korea lacks the long term profitability assessment capability, and they prefer to acquire credit reinforcement from the construction companies in the form of the guarantor or debt argument commitments. As a result, PF contingent liabilities as an indirect debt, are burdened to the construction companies. Even though the PF contingent liabilities are not supposed to be part of the financial statements, they became a mandatory disclosure items since 2009. In this study, PF contingent liabilities were studied to indicate how they were correlated with construction firms' financial ratios. Construction firms were grouped by their credit rating and each group was compared in order to analyze PF contingent liabilities' impact on the financial condition of the company in terms of liquidity, liability, and stability.

프로젝트 파이낸싱(Project Financing, 이하PF)은 자금조달을 위한 금융기법 중 하나로 사업주의 신용도나 다른 담보 대신 프로젝트의 수익성에 기초하여 투자자로부터 자금을 제공 받는다. 하지만 국내에서 이루어지는 PF의 경우, 자금 조달의 주체인 금융기관은 사업 타당성 검증체계가 부족하여 프로젝트의 사업성을 평가하기보다 건설사에게 신용보강을 요구하며, 이에 따라 사업주의 대출채권에 건설사가 연대보증 또는 채무인수약정을 하고 있는 실정이다. 이로 인해 건설사는 PF 우발채무라는 간접적인 채무가 발생하게 되고, 이는 재무제표에 포함되지 않으나 2009년 PF 우발채무 기재의 공시기준 제정됨에 따라 주요 관리 항목이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 PF 우발채무가 기업의 재무상태에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 신용등급 및 도급순위 별로 건설사를 분류하여 PF 우발채무가 기업의 주요 재무비율인 유동성, 안정성, 수익성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.
