Abstract

Spin-offs, carve-outs, and split-offs are popular ways for parent companies to divest assets, divisions or subsidiaries. All three transactions often result in separate public equity of the divested assets. The main reason for creating publicly traded equity is to increase the value of the parent’s shares by focusing on core businesses. Another motivation is to make the divested assets more visible to market participants, inducing information gathering, and by that increase its value. In this chapter, we discuss the motivation for these transactions and explain their accounting aspects.

IFRS does not provide guidance on how an entity should measure distributions to its owners (whether cash or non-cash). IAS 1 simply requires an entity to present details of dividends recognized as distribution to owners either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements. Some guidance on distribution of non-cash assets is provided by IFRIC 17.

When a parent makes a distribution to its shareholders but retains control over the spun-off subsidiary, the former recognizes non-controlling interests in its interest held in the latter.

In 2011, Marathon Oil Corp spun off Marathon Petroleum and the spun off company increased its dividends by 25% one quarter subsequently. In addition, the spun-off company’s revenues increased 6.5% in 2012. During 2013, Kraft Foods spun off its snack foods division into a company called Mondelez keeping the grocery business. Initially, both companies reported a decline in sales but later on, share prices for both companies increased substantially. Clearly, spin-offs serve as a popular mechanism to increase shareholders’ value by creating more focused businesses.
