[18]
by clicking the bell icon today we have a topic with us is what is
[22]
divesting or divestiture well one of the very famous term that is used in the
[29]
financial industry now many times this sort of transactions also happens so we
[34]
will try and discuss what is divesting see turistic means the action of the
[41]
organization of government which involves selling or you can say
[46]
liquidating an asset or subsidiary it is also known as your divestiture or this
[61]
investment see divesting is exactly the opposite of acquisition whereby instead
[72]
of investing acquiring a business tries to exit from the existing investment or
[77]
asset by selling the same and become the old government organization they are
[83]
planning to divest its asset subsidiary maybe by doing so as a part of the
[91]
strategy started to move the company it can also be done by you know a
[95]
streamlining the business units so that you know the business can focus on its
[101]
main line of business or it can be done in case where the proceeds from the
[104]
divesting process are invested elsewhere to earn a higher return on investment so
[109]
this is basically the process of you can say selling of the selling in asset and
[117]
usually the asset divested are closely non-core in nature that is those which
[125]
are not directly using the main line of the business and the non-core assets can
[128]
take the form of any kind of asset can be real estate commodities
[135]
Natural Resources currencies or securities or maybe factory land
[140]
property and so on and so forth it may also take the form of the entire
[145]
subsidiary or holding in another company so the disinvestment usually done by the
[151]
way of reduction of asset or business through sale liquidation or any other
[161]
means of attaining certain financial goals are started evil so it acts as a
[164]
great source of injecting the cash in the business without affecting the
[173]
regular business activities and is a very important strategy in the corporate
[176]
restructuring and a popular tool used by the business to retire your debt and to
[183]
reduce the leverage well let's understand the examples of
[191]
this let's understand the same with the help of the day what's your example
[196]
let's say let's take off X's Bank Limited is a commercial value providing
[200]
branch banking investment banking and payment services so the bank is having a
[204]
large investment in land parcels an investment in various companies listed
[213]
on the local forces so the bank decided to shore up its what we call as the
[218]
capital base to increase its a lending capacity
[224]
and decided to diverse its investment into listed companies and in non-core
[229]
assets like no land passes so by doing so the Axis Bank succeeded in raising
[235]
capital and those we can see that you know the devastation limited a vesture
[240]
of the investment is in non-core assets to improve its capital base by injecting
[244]
cash in the business and focus more on its main line of business and thereby
[248]
deploying its assets to more profitable Avenue now what exactly is the purpose
[256]
see there are multiple motives that makes divestiture of viable option for
[261]
the management to pursue some of them are as follow like you know it enables
[267]
the business to focus on its core operations or the line of the business
[271]
where it holds the expertise it is an effective tool for monetizing the assets
[280]
as divest you're usually results in cash flow in flow for the business divesting
[285]
is an effective tool through which the companies can evaluate performance of
[290]
their various divisions and diverse those divisions whose internal rate of
[294]
return is below the average required rate of return of the business as whole
[300]
so let's understand the same through an example of Swiss core or Swiss cob it
[308]
operates in three business divisions namely in clothing they are into
[313]
automobile and real estate so the company has an internal rate of return
[320]
closely around 13% 8 and 15 from its 3 division now Swiss Corp has
[329]
required rate of return closely around let's see if over here what comes the
[334]
average it is 12 posit yeah it's 12 percent see the average this is just the
[338]
weighted average cost of capital you can save vac in such a case by divestiture
[343]
of its automobile division which is generating an internal rate of return 8%
[347]
the company will be able to utilize the proceeds towards the more profitable
[351]
division which will result in higher rate of return for the business as a
[354]
whole so this is some time done to improve the shareholders
[357]
you or due to the informants and enforcement of the federal authorities
[362]
so non-alignment of the non-core assets with the main line of business we
[366]
sustained under performance of the business in its which is which is
[370]
denting overall profitability of the business assume and of ability of the
[378]
you can say better opportunities compared with the existing business
[383]
lines also it motivates the management to divest the existing lines of the
[388]
business and setting of the new business line now full what are the advantage say
[393]
it helps the business to generate cash from its non-core investments which
[400]
could be better utilized for expansion of the existing business starting a new
[403]
business line or retiring the existing debt it tells the business to also
[408]
allocate its resources main line of business and generate higher returns for
[414]
its shareholders by improving the return on equity
[418]
No how does the disinvestment process works the divesting is the systematic
[424]
process it involves commitment of the part of the management it makes very
[429]
value creative firstly what they do is you know they do the review of the
[435]
portfolio we usually it involves review of the entire business portfolio which
[439]
comprises of analyzing the performance of the each business unit and relevance
[444]
with the long-term business objective second you know identification of
[449]
suitable buyer so once a certain business unit is identified as a part of
[457]
the divestiture exercise a suitable buyer is identified by taking the
[461]
service of an investment banking firm which assists in identifying the buyer
[464]
and devaluation of the business unit which is proposed to be the part of the
[471]
divesting it is important to note that you know the evaluation exercises
[475]
undertaken taking into consideration that they derived must be least equal to
[483]
the opportunity cost of not selling the business in it losses the disintegration
[493]
once the same is finalized the organization must prepare that this
[497]
integration plan and convey the merits of such divestiture clearly highlighting
[503]
the purpose behind the divesting alone with the information regarding the
[506]
benefits that will accrue to the organization to both internal and the
[511]
external stakeholders to ensure the you know positive signal is communicated so
[518]
lastly on the conclusion node this is unarguably an important strategy tool
[524]
used by the business but knowing when to divest is extremely difficult to decide
[529]
and can turn out to be an expensive you know mistake if not done correctly so in
[536]
today's business scenario companies are usually stalled of capital and divesting
[541]
as seen as a sure shot liquidity booster as it improves if shareholders are
[546]
returned by injecting cash into the business which can either be used for
[551]
barring the debts from the books of the business which ultimately improves the
[556]
profitability of the business in question for expansion of the existing
[559]
business so management must ensure divesting decisions
[568]
which turns out to be the long-term value decorative of the business so
