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 — Q2 2022 call → NOWe need answer YES or NO. Need analyze transcript. Question asks if management indicates economic terms of newest business have stepped up meaningfully above company's own recent norm, and improvement only begun to flow into reported results because most business in reported numbers still older less favorable terms. We need use only transcript. Let's examine. Management discusses price increase implemented in Q2 2021? Actually says "While we implemented a price increase in Q2 2021 on new orders, we continue to ship orders from our backlog that were ordered prior to the increase at the higher component costs." Wait Q2 2021? Transcript: "While we implemented a price increase in Q2 2021 on new orders, we continue to ship orders from our backlog that were ordered prior to the increase at the higher component costs." Actually fiscal Q2 2022? Let's read: "Related to those delays, we experienced increases in the prices of steel, electronic components and shipping, which impacted Q2 gross margins. While we implemented a price increase in Q2 2021 on new orders, we continue to ship orders from our backlog that were ordered prior to the increase at the higher component costs." Hmm maybe "Q2 2021" is typo? Later: "So we have a very significant price increases to our customer in October. But, again, there’s a lag with that, as I mentioned." October is in Q2 fiscal 2022 (quarter ended Dec 31). So they implemented price increase in October (Q2 FY2022) on new orders, but backlog ordered prior to increase at higher component costs. So new orders have higher prices. Also "Our pricing actions with customers have a delayed effect due to the build up and open sales orders already received. However, our price increases with customers are intended to help offset costs increases already incurred from suppliers and our design cost reductions ... is meant to provide remaining element of achieving gross margin targets." So they raised prices on new orders, but reported results still reflect old backlog. Need determine if this is "meaningfully above company's own recent norm" and "only begun to flow". Management says price increase implemented, but is it described as meaningful step-up? They say "very significant price increases to our customer in October." Also "While we implemented a price increase in Q2 2021 on new orders" maybe "Q2 2021" is fiscal? Need parse.
