Abstract: We investigate the effect of Covid-19 pandemic on firm performance using the quarterly financial data of firms from 89 countries and show that the pandemic has a detrimental impact on firm performance. The firms that held more long-term debt and account receivables on their balance sheet before the pandemic were relatively more affected amid the pandemic. The cash buffers can make firms more resilient to the Covid-19 crisis. The quality of a country's governance plays a vital role in mitigating the adverse impact of the pandemic on firm performance.
