Carveout, Divestiture & Spin Analysis
We provide strategic and tactical support to assess and operationalize carveouts, divestitures, and spin-offs — identifying technology complexities, transition risks, and value creation opportunities across the transaction lifecycle.
Value Drivers
Accelerates Day 1 Readiness
Ensures critical IT functions, people, systems, data and IT compliance are accounted for and transition-ready, reducing Day 1 risks.
Minimizes Value
Leakage
Early identification of accurate costs (replacement, one-time, and on-going), risks and dependencies early to shape financial modeling, protect EBITDA, and deal value.
Reduces TSA Complexity & Duration
Analyzes transitional service requirements to identify and limit TSA scope, negotiate duration and costs, and develops TSA exit strategy
Improves Valuation
Story
Enhances buyer confidence through clearly defined separation strategies, future-state operating models, associated costs and cash flow implications.
Aligns IT with
Deal Thesis
Ensures carveout planning supports the broader investment narrative, enabling faster post-close value creation.
Key Areas of Focus
- Assess IT separation perimeter, asset ownership, entanglements, and separation requirements across people, IT operations, infrastructure, applications, data and IT contracts.
- Identify IT Replacement Costs, One-Time Costs, and Stranded costs. Develop mitigation strategies to protect EBITDA erosion during and after separation.
- Define the target operating model, Day 1, IT separation and stand-up roadmap for the carved/divested entity.
- Evaluate TSA requirements, scope, cost estimates, and exit strategies.
- Develop detailed execution plans with functional and business leadership across both buyer and seller organizations.
