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 — Q3 2022 call → NOWe need answer YES or NO based on transcript. 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 business in reported numbers still older less favorable terms. We need parse transcript. Management discusses revenue growth, market share, margins. Key: international shipments have higher margin because no excise tax. Derrick West: "if we had had the shipments that we had expected to occur during the quarter, we would have seen sequential growth in both our adjusted gross margin and our adjusted EBITDA. Shipment was made, it was just delayed and occurred in the end of July." Also Beena: international business higher margin. But is that "newest business" terms improved? They mention international shipments to Australia, Israel. They expect further shipments. But is there indication that new business terms are meaningfully better than own recent norm? International business has higher margin than rec due to excise tax. But is that a step-up in terms of newest business? They say international business is good margin business. However, the question asks: "ECONOMIC TERMS OF THE COMPANY'S NEWEST BUSINESS — the prices, rates, fees, spreads, contract sizes, durations, or profitability at which its most recent deals, orders, contracts, renewals, or transactions are being struck — have stepped up MEANINGFULLY ABOVE THE COMPANY'S OWN RECENT NORM, and that this improvement in the terms of incoming business has only BEGUN to flow into the reported results, because most of the business in the reported numbers was still written at the older, less favorable terms?" Need see if management says new business terms improved vs own recent past. They mention international shipments are higher margin due to no excise tax. But is that a "newest business" vs own recent norm? They have had international business before? They made shipments to Cannatrek and Medcan in Q3, subsequent shipment to Cannatrek, and this month shipment to Canndoc. They expect more. But do they say these are at better terms than previous? Not explicitly. They say international business has higher margin because no excise tax. But that's a structural difference, not necessarily a step-up from own recent norm.
