Question
A company sells a carve-out subsidiary for 500, book value 300, with group allocations of 50 p.a. Three-statement impact and standalone EBITDA bridge?
Answer
Sale creates a disposal gain of 200 before tax; proceeds are investing cash flow. Standalone EBITDA must replace group allocations with true standalone costs.

Carve-out EBITDA is about future standalone cost structure, not historical allocations alone.
