profitability in the textile industry companies in the Syrian coast during the period (2000-

on capital (ROC). A series of annual financial statements of the three companies were used
during the period reviewed (Panel Data). In order to estimate the models of the study, the

negative impact on profitability in different ratios used to measure both debt and
