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 2023 call → NOWe need to determine if management indicates that the economic terms of the 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. Let's analyze the transcript. The call discusses strong results, signings, installations, box office, etc. But the question is specifically about economic terms of new business (prices, rates, fees, spreads, contract sizes, durations, profitability) stepping up above the company's own recent norm, and that the reported results still mostly reflect old terms. Search for any mention of pricing, rates, fees, contract terms, profitability of new deals vs old. The transcript talks about signings, installations, box office, but not about economic terms of contracts. There is no mention of higher prices, better terms, improved economics on new deals compared to past. The discussion is about volume (more signings, more installations) and box office performance, but not about the terms of those deals being better. Management mentions "signings" and "installations" but not the economic terms. They talk about growth in revenue, EBITDA, etc., but that's from volume and box office, not from improved contract terms. There is no statement that new contracts are at higher rates or better profitability than before. Also, the question requires that the improvement is only beginning to flow into results. Management does not say that. They talk about strong results already. Thus, answer 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.
