I'd expect a simple P&L the derives an EPS. Remember to use adjusted figures to calculate Adj EBITDA and Adj EPS. This should take you ~1.5 hours. The rest is reading past couple transcripts to derive a simple thesis. First paragraph recaps earnings and key figures, second and third paragraph talks about what mgmt said on the call and what the Q&A was focusing on. Last paragraph should be a reiterate of whether you believe the stock is a outperform (buy), underperform (sell), or a equal weight (hold). 

What sector is the seat for? You could try to do some scouting to see any public comments on the space or the name itself.
