Conversion calendar in hand: management narrates the coming year as dated deliveries of business already secured
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2015 call → NOWe need to determine if management lays out a timetable of specific conversions—already secured or in motion—with timing, and presents that schedule as the forward story. The question is about the next four or so quarters. Looking at the transcript: Management discusses 2016 guidance, but the forward discussion is mostly about expectations, market conditions, and general optimism. They mention opening stores (Famous Footwear, Sam Edelman), distribution center expansion, new brands (George Brown, DVF), but these are routine or ongoing initiatives. They don't provide a dated schedule of specific secured items that will convert. They talk about first half being slower, but that's based on expectations, not a list of secured conversions. The guidance is based on assumptions about market conditions, not a timetable of already-won business. There's no mention of specific contracts, orders, or committed volumes with dates. The discussion is about managing through challenges and expecting improvement later in the year, but not a schedule of specific items turning on. So answer NO.
