New business is being written on visibly better terms than the company's own recent norm, and the mix shift has just beg
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2017 call → NOWe need to answer YES or NO based on the transcript. The question asks: does management indicate that the economic terms of the company's newest business have stepped up meaningfully above the company's own recent norm, and that this improvement has only begun to flow into reported results because most of the reported numbers still reflect older terms? We need to find if management says both halves. Look for any mention of pricing, rates, contracts, etc. The transcript discusses revenue growth, same-facility revenue, patient days, revenue per patient day. They mention rate increases in U.S. and UK. But do they say that new business terms are better than recent norm? They talk about pricing trends: Medicare, Medicaid, commercial. They expect rate increases. But is that described as a step-up? They say "we want commercial to give us somewhere between 3% to 6%, Medicaid is going to be in that 2% range with Medicare. Overall, if we get a 2%, 3% rate increase, overall revenue per day, we would be very pleased." That sounds like expectations, not necessarily already achieved. Also they mention "we expect same-facility revenue to grow in the mid-single digits" etc. But no explicit statement that new contracts are being signed at higher rates than before, and that the reported results still reflect old terms. They talk about bed additions and de novos, but that's volume, not pricing. They mention UK labor costs and agency labor, but that's cost. They don't mention a step-up in pricing terms. They mention "favorable dynamics related to demand, capacity, access and parity" but that's general. No specific statement about new business terms being better than recent norm. Also they mention "we are starting to see improvement in our agency labor" but that's cost. No mention of pricing step-up. The question is about economic terms of newest business. The transcript does not contain such a statement. So answer NO. Thus answer NO.
