Conversion calendar in hand: management narrates the coming year as dated deliveries of business already secured
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2022 call → NOWe need to determine if management lays out a timetable of specific conversions that are already secured or in motion, with timing, and presents that schedule as the forward story. Looking at the transcript: Management discusses pricing actions, volume declines, inflation, and guidance for 2023. They mention the sale of Back to Nature completed in January, and a partial prepayment of term loan. They talk about business unit transition. They discuss expectations for 2023: net sales, EBITDA, EPS. They mention that pricing will offset inflation, and that they expect volume declines. They talk about Crisco pricing adjustments on a quarterly basis. They mention that they expect the first half of 2023 to have favorable comparisons to 2022, third quarter modest improvement, fourth quarter similar to 2022. But this is not about specific conversions of secured business. They don't mention any new contracts, launches, or specific items with timing. They talk about general expectations for the year. The forward story is about pricing catching up, inflation moderating, and volume elasticity. No specific secured items with timetables. So answer NO.
