Conversion calendar in hand: management narrates the coming year as dated deliveries of business already secured
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2023 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 at-least-approximate time frame—so the forward story reads as a schedule of things turning on. Let me examine the transcript for such a timetable. Key items mentioned: 1. Puerto Rico migration: "We continue to anticipate completing the project in April and ending the TSAs in June." This is a migration of customers already in progress (800,000 customers moved). This is a real, in-motion item with timing (April, June). It's presented as driving volatility in H1 and then inflection in H2. 2. DISH acquisition: "We also plan to bolster this year with our proposed acquisition of Boost customers from Dish Networks later this year." But this is "proposed" and "upon expected close in 2024" - it's contingent on approvals. "We continue to work towards getting the required approvals for the DISH spectrum and mobile subscribers in Puerto Rico and USPI later this year." This is contingent on approvals, so it doesn't count. 3. Tower transaction: "we completed five of the six countries, with Bahamas to complete in the next few months" - this is a real transaction, but it's a financing transaction, not really a revenue-generating conversion. 4. The migration itself: "we have now moved over 800,000 customers to our network and billing platform. This represents nearly all of our prepaid base and over 90% of our postpaid and over 40% of our B2B customers." This is real and in motion, with timing (April completion, June TSA end). The forward story is that after migration, they redirect teams to sell, driving inflection in H2. 5. "We have stopped selling new consumers on the AT&T IP stack" - this is a real step. 6. The forward story: "Puerto Rico is a tale of two halves. We will get through the migration and exit the PSAs by the end of June. And then we will redirect our teams to sell utilizing the flexibility of our new systems." This is a schedule: migration completes April, TSAs end June, then H2 inflection. 7. "We anticipate achieving monthly adjusted OIBDA above $45 million at some point in the second half of the year." So the Puerto Rico migration is a real, in-motion item with a clear timetable (April completion, June TSA end, H2 inflection). It's presented as the main driver of the forward story for Puerto Rico.
