	abstract = {Purpose: This study identifies and analyzes the factors that impact the financial performance of companies after a merger and acquisition transaction. 
Methodology: As many as 130 Polish market observations were analyzed with an OLS regression model to verify the research hypotheses. 
Results: The results reveal that the company{\textquoteright}s size, performance before the transaction, and its international nature translated into improvement of post-transaction financial performance. Moreover, industry diversification transactions and CEO changes in acquiring a company had a negative impact on the company{\textquoteright}s financial performance after the transaction. 
Originality: This investigation is the first study devoted to the Polish market in the research field of M\&A determinants with the use of such a large sample.
