This study aims to compare the pre-post M&A financial performance of non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in the 2-year period before mergers and acquisitions (M&A), in the year of M&A, and 2 years after M&A. Performance was measured using Economic Value Added (EVA), Market Value Added (MVA), and financial ratios. The research sample consisted of 22 companies selected by purposive sampling, and secondary data were analyzed from financial statements. Partial analysis was conducted with the Wilcoxon Sign Test because the data was not normally distributed, while simultaneous analysis used the MANOVA test with the STATA version 17 application. The results of simultaneous testing showed no significant difference in financial performance between before and after M&A. However, partial test results found significant differences in MVA variables in the period 2 years before, 1 and 2 years after M&A, as well as in the year of M&A. In addition, the ROA variable also shows significant differences in the 2-year period before, 1 and 2 years after M&A. However, the effect of M&A on MVA and ROA variables tends to be negative.
