Abstract: This thesis investigates the determinants of cash holdings for companies operating in the travel and leisure sector of the United Kingdom (UK) between 2005 and 2016. Following the predictions of three prominent models, namely, the pecking order model, the trade-off model and the free cash flow model, the study tests the hypotheses for several firm-specific determinants of cash holdings. The study finds that size, growth opportunities and cash flow affect cash holdings positively, while leverage, capital expenditures, liquidity, cash flow volatility and dividend payments affect negatively. Consequently, it can be concluded that the pecking-order model receives strong empirical support followed by trade-off model to explain the variation in cash holdings among travel and leisure companies of UK. The free cash flow model receives only weak support. Moreover, at the sub-sector level, companies operating in the airlines sub-sector hold more cash than the reference sub-sector of travel and tourism.
ÖZ: Bu tez, 2005 ve 2016 yılları arasında Birleşik Krallığı‟nın seyahat ve eğlence sektöründe faaliyet gösteren şirketlerin nakit oranlarını araştırmaktadır. Bu araştırma yapılırken, finansal hiyerarşi, dengeleme ve serbest nakit akışı modelleri kullanılarak, nakit oranını belirleyen şirket özgü faktörler için hipotezler test edilmiştir. Çalışmada, büyüklük, büyüme fırsatları ve nakit akışının şirketlerin nakit oranını olumlu yönde; kaldıraç, sermaye harcamaları, likidite, nakit akışı dalgalanması ve temettü ödemelerinin ise olumsuz yönde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Finansal hiyerarşi modeli seyahat ve eğlence şirketlerinin nakit oranını güçlü bir ampirik destekle açıklamaktadır. Dengeleme modeli ikinci sırada seyahat ve eğlence şirketlerinin nakit oranını açıklamaktadır. Tezde, serbest nakit akışı modeli için zayıf bir ampirik destek bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, alt sektör seviyesinde, havayolları şirketleri, seyahat ve turizm referans alt sektöründen daha fazla nakit bulundurmaktadır.
