Modeling a company that recently IPOed

I'm building a model for a company that IPOed early this year. That said, I only have three quarters of historical data. How would one go about building a full valuation model with such little historical data? Would you annualized the data (I'm missing Q4 for now)? How would you build out the Financial Statements and DCF five years out with just three quarters of historical data? Thank you in advance!
