If a firm relies on acquisitions then do you make another schedule?

If a firm has done something like 300 acquisitions since the 1990s and had organic growth in addition to growth through acquisition, then would you make an acquisition schedule or something to make revenue and CapEx projections?

I really dont know how can something like this be projected-was wondering if someone can shed some light on this

Companies that make a lot of acquisitions and are good at doing so, often get credit for capital deployment.

So a model would have existing operations, then a section with an assumption for annual capital deployment for M&A, average multiple paid = annual EBITDA from acquisitions

TDG is a good example of this

Consensus #s would be based on what the core operations can produce, and the "including M&A" #s would be more for describing the potential upside
