I am given a case study for a final round interview. They have handed me the CIM to create a presentation and it doesn't seem like a 3 statement model LBO is necessary/possible here as there isn't enough information (Net Revenue, Adj. EBITDA, CapEx, NWC, etc.).
However, what entry multiple is a reasonable assumption to use here? Do I look at the trading multiple for the company around the investment consideration time and use that as the multiple? ~12x seems sort of high....
