Terminal value intuition

Hi all,

Can someone please explain to me the intuition behind the terminal value calculations below:

TV = CF to equity (1603.008) + Debt (800) - Interest (40) = 2363.008

I'm struggling to understand why interest is deducted in the calculations.

Note: This illustration above is from Damodaran's Investment Valuation textbook.
