The objective of this research are to investigate whether the firm’s characteristic determines the level of disclosures of financial measures and to study whether financial measures information have value relevance to the investor.Using sample of 100 manufacturing firms in 2015 and applying panel data analysis, this study reports that the firm’s characteristics such as size, age, regulated company, product life cycle and leverage have significant effect on the disclosure level of financial measures. This research’s result also shows that financial measures have value relevance to investor. The higher the disclosure of financial measures, the stronger the effect on the earnings-return relationship (measured by earnings response coefficient, ERC), implying that the informativeness of earnings and financial measures disclosure are complementary to each other.
