Conversion calendar in hand: management narrates the coming year as dated deliveries of business already secured
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2016 call → NOThe question asks whether management lays out a timetable of specific conversions—identified pieces of business already secured or in motion, each with timing—so the forward story reads as a schedule of things turning on. Let me examine the transcript for what management says about forward quarters. Key forward-looking statements: - Brian Evans gives guidance for Q3 and Q4 2016, with revenue ranges, AFFO, EPS. This is routine guidance. - Construction revenue for Ravenhall: Q3 ~$84M, Q4 ~$71M. Ravenhall is under construction, scheduled for completion late 2017 (fourth quarter of 2017 per George Zoley). So Ravenhall is a secured project (25-year contract, $88M investment), but it's not contributing until late 2017—beyond the "next four or so quarters" (which would be Q3 2016 through Q2 2017 roughly). Actually the question says "next four or so quarters" from the call date (August 2016), so through mid-2017. Ravenhall completes in Q4 2017, so it's beyond that window. - The activations mentioned (Great Plains, North Lake, Adelanto, Karnes, Kingman, ISAP) are already done and reflected in results—these are past activations, not forward schedule. - Dave Donahue discusses opportunities: CAR 16 rebid (decision expected Q3/Q4 2016), ICE Houston 1,000-bed (decision Q3 2016), Chicago/New Jersey (monitoring), state opportunities (Ohio, Michigan, Hamilton County), Australia Grafton (proposals due November), John Morony (proposals due February 2017). These are all being pursued, not secured. - Ann Schlarb discusses opportunities totaling $30M potential, but "pursuing" them. So the forward discussion is mostly about opportunities being pursued, bids, RFPs, decisions expected. None of these are "already secured" items with a timetable for contribution. The only secured item is Ravenhall, but it's under construction and won't contribute until late 2017, beyond the near-term window, and its construction revenue is already in guidance (which is just pass-through, no margin). The guidance for Q3/Q4 is just routine quarterly guidance, not a schedule of new conversions. The past activations are already reflected in results—management says "our robust year-over-year growth has been driven by the activation of several important projects" which are already done.
