Conversion calendar in hand: management narrates the coming year as dated deliveries of business already secured
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2016 call → NOThe question asks whether management lays out a timetable of specific conversions already secured or in motion, with timing attached, as the forward story. Let me examine the transcript. The call discusses: 1. Q3 2016 results - strong quarter, records 2. An oil and gas acquisition in the Anadarko basin (stack play) - $100 million purchase 3. Guidance raised for 2016 Looking at the forward-looking statements: - The oil and gas acquisition is described as closing before year-end, effective October 1. The royalties are described as having 25 producing wells currently, with about 45 drilled but not yet paying. Revenue is expected to grow as operators develop. - The acquisition is already entered into (agreement signed), closing expected before year-end. - The revenue ramp is described as "expected to grow significantly" but timing is vague - "over the course of the next few months" for the 45 wells to come online, and "in the coming years" for full development. - Jason says "it's very hard to put a specific number on the amount wells that will come in online next year" - so no specific timetable for the ramp. - The guidance raise for 2016 is about current year performance, not future quarters. The question asks about the NEXT FOUR OR SO QUARTERS. The acquisition is closing before year-end, and the wells already drilled (45) will come online "over the course of the next few months" - that's somewhat specific but the revenue contribution is described as uncertain. The development is described as "expected to ramp up significantly in the coming years" - that's vague. The key issue: Is the acquisition itself a "secured" item? Yes, it's signed. But the revenue ramp timing is not clearly scheduled - management explicitly says they can't put a number on wells next year. The forward story rests on operator activity and development plans, not on a firm schedule of conversions. Also, the guidance raise is for 2016 (current year), not really forward quarters beyond that. The forward discussion seems to rest on the potential of the stack play and operator capital deployment, not on a dated schedule of secured items. The 45 wells already drilled will come online "over the next few months" but that's about it, and the scale of that contribution isn't quantified as a step-change. I'll answer NO.
