Since the p-value is less than 0.01 and also less than 0.05, the beta coefficient is statistically significant at the 1% and 5% levels of significance.

The remaining 44.56% variation is due to other factors not included in the model, such as company-specific fundamentals, industry conditions, and macroeconomic variables.
