Conversion calendar in hand: management narrates the coming year as dated deliveries of business already secured
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2017 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 forward-looking statements about fiscal 2018. Blake Moret says: "We expect another year of good growth in fiscal 2018 with continued growth in consumer and transportation and a meaningfully higher contribution from heavy industries, including oil and gas." He mentions "Our strong orders performance in the fourth quarter positions us well as we enter fiscal 2018." Patrick Goris discusses guidance: organic sales growth 3.5% to 6.5%, currency tailwind, etc. Blake mentions "powertrain and EV" - "$100 million worth of business in our automotive segment" - but this is described as growth over the last few years, not a specific secured item with a timetable. The discussion of oil and gas returning to growth is described as "a mix of MRO, as well as some larger projects" - but no specific secured projects with timing. The restructuring charges and re-footprinting are discussed, but those are cost items, not revenue conversions. The acquisitions (MAVERICK, etc.) are mentioned as contributing 1.5 points of growth, but no specific timetable for new acquisitions. Looking for specific "already secured" items with timing: - No mention of specific contracts won with delivery schedules - No mention of specific facilities opening on a timetable - No mention of specific customer programs going live on a schedule - The powertrain/EV $100 million is described as cumulative growth over years, not a scheduled conversion The forward discussion rests on market conditions, order strength, and general expectations for growth across verticals. There's no dated schedule of secured items. The answer is NO.
