Conversion calendar in hand: management narrates the coming year as dated deliveries of business already secured
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2019 call → NOThe question asks whether management lays out a timetable of specific conversions—identified pieces of business already secured or in motion, each attached to an approximate time frame—so the forward story reads as a schedule of things turning on. Let me examine the transcript for specific items with timing: 1. The $10 million shift in Government Solutions sales due to accelerated customer building schedules - this is already reflected in Q1 results. 2. The MT-2025 transceiver shipments - "We initiated shipments in fiscal 2018 and continued such shipments in our first quarter of fiscal 2019 remaining shipments are expected to be substantially complete by the end of our second quarter of fiscal 2019." This is a specific item with timing - shipments substantially complete by end of Q2 fiscal 2019. 3. The $9.8 million delivery order for SLM5650B satellite modem - "just yesterday, we announced a delivery order for $9.8 million related to our $59 million contract award from the U.S. Navy" - this is secured, but no specific timing given for when it contributes. 4. The troposcatter contract - "we received a $9.1 million contract to supply a foreign military customer" - "Work on this contract is well underway" - but no specific timing given. 5. The RFP for troposcatter equipment - "we are still waiting for feedback from the U.S. government" - this is not secured, it's being pursued. 6. The BlueForce Tracking program - "we continue to work very closely with the U.S. Army" - "we expect the U.S. government to continue to test such units and thereafter place additional orders for our MT-2025 transceivers sometime in fiscal 2019" - but "the amount and timing of any new MT-2025 transceiver orders are difficult to predict" and "we have not included any revenue or earnings contributions in our updated business outlook for fiscal 2019." 7. The acquisition plan - "we initiated a targeted acquisition plan related to a small, but growing technology solutions company" - but this is not closed, it's ongoing, and "there's no certainty that ultimately we could be successful within the transaction." 8. The 911 opportunities - "we have responded and are responding to several proposals with large wireless carriers" - these are being pursued, not secured.
