What is the primary reason for subtracting cash in the Enterprise Value formula?

  1. The Income Statement includes interest income earned on cash balances within the reported EBITDA metric
  2. Cash is treated as a liability that must be repaid directly to shareholders upon closing an acquisition
  3. Cash is considered a non-operating asset that an acquirer could use to immediately pay down part of the purchase price
  4. Subtracting cash from the formula helps to artificially increase the reported value of the non-controlling interest stake
