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 2016 call → NOWe need to determine if management indicates that the economic 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 reported results because most of the reported numbers still reflect older, less favorable terms. We need to look for statements about pricing, volume, mix, or terms of new business. The transcript discusses revenue growth, pricing, volume/mix, and margin expansion. However, the question is specifically about the economic terms of new business (prices, rates, fees, etc.) improving versus the company's own recent past, and that this improvement is only beginning to flow into results. In the transcript, management discusses revenue management actions, price pack architecture, and pricing in inflationary markets. But they also mention that they are facing competitive pressures, trade spending, and that they are defending share. They talk about revenue management actions that temper growth but improve quality. However, they do not explicitly say that the terms of new business (e.g., pricing on new contracts) have stepped up meaningfully above their own recent norm. They mention pricing in some markets due to currency, but that is pass-through of costs. They also mention that they are making investments and that top line is not where they want it. They talk about volume/mix being flat, and that they expect improvement. But there is no clear statement that new business is being written at better terms than before, and that the reported results still reflect old terms. The question asks specifically about "economic terms of the company's newest business" such as prices, rates, fees, etc. The transcript does not contain such specific language. Management discusses revenue growth, but not the terms of new contracts or deals. They discuss pricing in some markets, but that is often due to inflation. They also discuss revenue management actions that involve SKU rationalization and trade optimization, which might improve profitability but not necessarily indicate better terms on new business. Thus, the answer is 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.
