proceeds from demerger


Explanation:
as you mention a cash-flow statement, I guess there's money coming in and that's why I say proceeds (or income) from. As to the scissione itself, it obviously depends on what is being scisso. Demerger is a good possibility, not a certainty as there is no context.
