To bridge from Equity Value to Enterprise Value, why is Cash subtracted?

  1. It is a financing item that raises the overall risk profile of the acquired business
  2. It generates interest income that is already fully captured within the valuation multiples used
  3. It represents a senior claim that must be paid off before equity holders can receive any value
  4. It is considered a non-operating asset that an acquirer could use to offset the purchase price
