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 2022 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. Looking at the transcript, management discusses: - Revenue guidance for 2023 is flat to up 2% - PuraPly sales expected to decline 18-26% - Non-PuraPly products expected to grow ~28% - They discuss competitive pressures, reimbursement uncertainty, and challenges in the physician office setting - They mention new product launches (PuraPlyMZ, Affinity, XT) entering full commercialization However, there is no indication that the economic terms of new business have improved meaningfully. In fact, management describes: - Challenging operating environment - Competitive pressure from smaller amniotic players - Reimbursement uncertainty - Expected declines in PuraPly sales - Gross margins expected to decline slightly (75.7%-76.5% vs. prior) The company is not describing better pricing or terms on new business. They describe volume growth in non-PuraPly products but not improved economics. There's no mention of new contracts at better rates, renewals at better terms, or improved profitability on new business. The answer is NO.
