The research used 168 sample data from 36 companies consisting of Sharia Bank (BUS) and Sharia enterprise unit (UUS) registered by Otoritas Jasa Keuangan in 2018-2022.

The result concluded profit sharing ratio, zakat performance ratio, Islamic income vs non-Islamic income ratio, and intellectual capital do not affect financial performance. Meanwhile, an equitable distribution ratio has a positive effect on financial performance.
