comparables EV/EBITDA, assume a 10-15%-25% premium based on market historical data, and just give a range or consideration minus some average % premium on that deal size for Europe, divided by EBITDA
impossible to give a precise number as who knows what "normalized" or adjusted numbers they used for valuation
or EV - Net Debt = EqV and see the difference between Equity Value consideration (EV - net debt), factor for growth based on past performance which implies future growth (ROIC/reinvestment rates) and assume all of the rest was premium
at least that's how I would approach it
you would need at least 1 number there and just throw some geographical/common sense assumptions, but usually any sort of company especially one that has more than 1/2m revenue in Europe tends to present simplified FS to tax authorities, and if they have more than 15/20m they may present complete financial statements, so if needed those can be received for a fee or through intermediaries (lawyers/acc) who have access to Gov't databases
