deconsolidating
Separating combined entities
Deconsolidating is the process of breaking apart something that was previously consolidated—separating combined entities back into distinct parts.
In business and finance, deconsolidating typically refers to removing a subsidiary from a parent company's financial statements, often after selling it or reducing ownership: The firm is deconsolidating its European operations.
The term appears in shipping to describe splitting combined cargo shipments back into individual consignments.
