Depends on the industry but other general examples are cutting out middlemen/using more direct distribution channels, driving better labor absorption, automation, better sourcing, taking certain functions/production areas in house, passing on price increases etc.

 

This is pretty important. We often trim product lines / entire business units which sure may result in lower sales but our realized margin tends to increase more with some of the more inefficiently run / impractical / archaic areas of the acquired company. Pretty high level and generalized statement but I would say overall a good point

 

acardboardmonkey TheBuellerBanker For legacy divestitures, what do you think of the following scenario: hypothetically if a business's core division (70-75% of revenue) has high operating leverage (high gross margin), that should imply that after SG&A it should have high EBIT margins when making lots of revenue. However, if the remainder of the business (25%-30%) is let's say services-oriented that would cause SG&A to be higher and depress the EBIT margin. How would PE think about the key considerations here - would the non-core business like this be a good spin-off target or would the sale compromise the balance of the business?
