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 — Q1 2018 call → NOWe need answer YES/NO. Need determine 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 reported business still older terms. We need parse transcript. Management discusses pricing. North Sea pricing holding, slightly above 2017. Gulf of Mexico pricing pressure continues. Q4000 spot market rates same or slightly improved but legacy rates roll up, pressure greater than 2017. No meaningful step-up in new business terms. They mention Brazil rates impacted by Petrobras deductions, but performance improving. No indication new contracts at higher rates than recent norm. They mention backlog, utilization, but not pricing step-up. They say "Pricing in the North Sea appears to be holding, while pricing pressure continues to weigh on Gulf of Mexico rates." So no. Also "we will not be revising guidance... trending towards upper half" but not due to better terms. So answer NO. Need output only YES or NO.

CRL · Q2 2022 → YESThe question is about whether management indicates 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 ...YES Management's comments on Safety Assessment pricing and backlog directly address both required elements: they describe current bookings and backlog at "escalating prices" and "meaningful price increases" that are already achieved on real transactions (not targets or future expectations), while noting that the reported Q2 results are still dominated by older 2022 terms and that the stronger pricing is accelerating into H2 and 2023 bookings.
