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 2018 call → NOThe question asks 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 has only begun to flow into reported results. Let me analyze the transcript for evidence of both parts: 1. Terms of new business improved vs. company's own recent past: - The transcript discusses leasing volume, occupancy, same-site NOI growth, dispositions, etc. - On leasing: "new leases continue to deliver positive, double-digit spreads" - this suggests new leases are at better terms than expiring ones. - On dispositions: "The blended cap rate through the first half of the year was at the lower end of our expected range" - this suggests pricing on dispositions is good. - However, I need to look for specific statements about new business terms being meaningfully better than the company's own recent norm. 2. Reported results still mostly reflect old terms: - The transcript discusses Toys "R" Us impact, same-site NOI guidance being raised, etc. - There's discussion about the gap between leased and economic occupancy (310 basis points) that will narrow as leases commence. Let me look more carefully at what management says about new business terms: - "new leases continue to deliver positive, double-digit spreads" - this is about lease spreads, which are the difference between new lease rates and expiring lease rates. This suggests new leases are at better terms than expiring ones. - On the Toys "R" Us boxes: "we have already resolved seven of those location with retailers taking the entire Toys 'R' Us box" - these are being re-leased. - On same-site NOI: "Same-site, NOI growth was 3.9% for the second quarter" and they raised guidance. But does management explicitly say that the terms of new business have stepped up meaningfully above the company's own recent norm AND that this improvement has only begun to flow into results? Looking at the leasing spreads: "new leases continue to deliver positive, double-digit spreads" - this is a statement about new lease terms being better than expiring ones, which is a comparison against the company's own recent past (the expiring leases).
