Divestitures: Addition by Subtraction
Realizing carve-out value — key challenges and leading practices

In the face of potential market turndowns and possible divestments of underperforming businesses, strategic buyers, sellers and Initial Public Offering (IPO) investors alike face a unique set of challenges that make divestiture transactions much more complex than typical merger integrations. What remains constant is the need for organizations to increase the value of their business unit portfolio. Through our vast experience with some of the market’s most complex transactions, we have identified a set of key challenges facing divestitures, and strategic approaches to help address them:

  • Challenge One: Multiple Parties and Diverging Agendas
  • Challenge Two: Tightly Integrated Businesses
  • Challenge Three: Transitional Services
  • Challenge Four: Business Disruptions
  • Challenge Five: Disproportionate Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Cost Structure
