A flexible tool for strategic transformation
One of the most challenging parts of doing a divestment is knowing that you can. Carve-outs are an important strategic tool for companies seeking to sharpen focus and unlock value. However, while there are many businesses with non-core divisions ripe for such deals, it takes a combination of strategic determination and some imagination for them to succeed.
Alantra has supported 62 carve-out deals in the last 5 years with a total deal value of €6.6bn by leveraging its global reach and sector expertise to identify opportunities, sometimes even before vendors had thought about selling. Much of that value and transaction volume came from large corporates’ exiting divisions that have become non-core or a pool of assets.

No two carve-outs are the same
Unlike outright sales, carve-outs can be tailored to accommodate portfolio optimization, market consolidation strategies, or public company repositioning, each requiring different structural approaches and stakeholder considerations.

Th advisor’s role can make or break this type of deal as they often require more in-depth analysis of a buyer’s rationale and potential synergies than other deals in order to extract maximum value
Value of deep relationships
For external advisors, knowing the target business well and having a long-term relationship with the firm’s management are important contributors to any deal’s success.
