The global M&A landscape has evolved significantly over the last few years, and corporate separation activity in particular is growing at an outsized pace as business leaders focus on transformation, risk management and creating shareholder value. In 2022 alone, more than 30 separations were announced globally across companies of all sizes, industries and geographies – representing 17% of announced separations in the last decade.
On average, separations generate excess blended returns of 6% over the 2 years post-separation, benefiting from dedicated management focus, operational improvements, tailored growth strategies and capital allocation priorities.
As the leading global M&A advisor for the past 20 years, Goldman Sachs has collaborated with leading consultant EY to develop a comprehensive analysis of the factors that influence the success of these transactions.
