Abstract

This study investigates the impact of IPO proceeds utilization disclosure on the survival of 423 Malaysian listed firms from 2000 to 2014. Following the declining trajectory of total listed businesses with active status in the Malaysian market since 2006, this research evaluates the role of IPO proceeds, i.e., the percentage of IPO proceeds and time frame of the application on the post-IPO survival of Malaysian listed companies. By applying Kaplan-Meier (K-M) survival analysis model, this study discovered that 69.03% of companies survive within three years, 59.81% sustain in five years, and 53.18% survive within seven years after their Initial Public Offering (IPO). Further studies show that companies should be able to allocate their IPO proceeds equally to each classification (growth potential, debt repayment, and working capital) for increased survivability and a longer median survival period. Companies with a longer time frame (more than 24 months) utilizing development potential and debt repayment have better survivability and a longer median survival time. In contrast, companies that have used working capital for fewer than 24 months have higher survivability and a longer median survival duration.
