Uncovering Opportunities to Realize Value: Secure Investments and Enhance Returns During M&A Carve-out Transactions Hero Image

Realizing Value in Carve-Out Transactions

The landscape of M&A carve-out transactions is complex and dynamic, but untapped opportunities remain there for the taking. To seize these opportunities, both buyers and sellers must innovate and evolve, not just their strategies but their execution.

In 2021 the carve-out market was booming, with 9,155 global transactions reported to be worth over $2.3 trillion. While supply chain challenges, economic instability and geopolitical tensions in 2022 have since slowed the pace of carve-out transactions, dealmakers know that volatility also induces opportunity.

As businesses reevaluate their portfolios, streamline their operations and focus on core competencies, new opportunities emerge that both buyers and sellers can capitalize on, as evidenced by findings in Aon’s M&A Risk in Review 2023 that reports that 28% of our survey respondents say they are focusing on divestments and restructuring.

In our new whitepaper we explore the headwinds impacting carve-out transactions and the risks and opportunities businesses can capitalize on in the current climate. We also identify the best practices and strategic recommendations for navigating these complex transactions, enabling companies to achieve their goals of improved efficiency, agility, and value creation.

Do you know?

  1. Digital transformation can unlock as much as $1.25 trillion in additional market capitalization across all Fortune 500 companies.
  2. 19% of corporates and 24% of private equity firms said their recent carve-out deals took longer than expected. Delays that last more than four months cost the parties an average of 16% of deal value.
  3. 90% of dealmakers are dedicating more resources than before to due diligence processes when considering a transaction.

Access the whitepaper “Uncovering Opportunities to Realize Value: Secure Investments and Enhance Returns During M&A Carve-out Transactions” to discover how to transform risk into opportunity against the current headwinds driving carve-out activity.
