📊Carve-outs are more than a financial transaction - they’re a strategic lever for transformation and value creation. Yet the true complexity and cost of separation are often underestimated, risking both operational continuity and financial targets. Carve-outs promise sharper focus and value creation, but costs are consistently underestimated. Our study reveals: 🔹 Complexity (not scale) determines total carve-out costs 🔹 Recurring costs rise by ~11% on average post carve-out 🔹 Our transformative approach consistently reduces the typical recurring cost uplift by 20-30% in practice Based on insights from 50+ practitioners, we bring transparency to what carve-outs really cost and how to effectively control both one-off and recurring expenses. ➡️ Download the full study to plan with greater transparency and control: https://lnkd.in/dnh4D4hz #RolandBerger #CostDrivers #CarveOut #ValueCreation Dr. Patrick Heinemann, Chantal Jäger, Florian Dietrich
