- 01:55
A model example of a spin off, involving debt pushdown, dividend paid, and deconsolidation of the subsidiary

So underneath we have our parent or group being Esure. Those figures include the figures for Go Compare, and what we need to find is Isha figures post step one. So I'll start that by taking Esures figures plus the adjustments that we'll make. And I'm gonna copy that down so it's in line with any of the blue figures underneath. And there are quite a few, any subtotals we have are copied across.
So from the group's perspective, what's happened? Well, we've taken on some debt, which has meant more cash sitting in our bank account. That was 75.
