Reasons for Demergers

  • A?demerger?occurs when a firm?sells off?at least one of the businesses it owns, or?splits itself into separate parts?to create two or more firms

Reasons For Demergers

Reducing diseconomies
of scale

Increased business focus

Cultural differences
Decreasing the size of the firm can reduce the diseconomies & lower the?cost/unit?which increases the?profitability If efforts & resources are scattered across a large number of firms/ industries it can be?hard to maintain focus and profitability. Narrowing the focus can improve profitability The most common reason for failures of mergers is?cultural differences.?Sometimes these?differences are irreconcilable?& not worth the expense to change

Remove loss making divisions

Increase liquidity & dividend payments

Comply with the demands of the Competition Commission
It can be more profitable to?remove loss-making divisions?and replace them with?outsourcing Demergers generate extra?revenue?for the firm in the year they occur. This may increase the profit &?dividend payments Sometimes firms are forced to demerge by the?competition regulator?due to concerns about the high level of?market share?they may have, which is considered to be?anti-competitive?& bad for consumers
