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 — Q1 2024 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 because most of the business in the reported numbers was still written at older, less favorable terms. Let me analyze the transcript for evidence of both halves: (1) Terms of new business visibly improved versus company's own recent past: - Fabio discusses the U.S. business: "Our U.S. business experienced another strong quarter through a combination of enhanced market fundamentals and consistent execution of our strategies." - He discusses commodity pricing: "the pricing for commodity chicken experienced above-average seasonal improvements, along with jumbo cutouts value above the 5-year average beginning in the second quarter." - He mentions: "we are seeing the prices increasing" and "we are seeing that, that is the potential, of course, for a great grilling season and an increase, especially on boneless breast." - On the QSR side: "what we saw in Q1 was an increase of 6%" - On pricing: "I think when you look at the average prices during Q1, we started from a low position during January. When we saw a steady increase up to maybe mid-February... And now as I mentioned, we are seeing the prices increasing." However, the question is specifically about whether the terms of NEW business (contracts, deals, transactions) have stepped up meaningfully above the company's own recent norm. The transcript discusses commodity prices improving, but this seems to be about market conditions rather than specific contract terms. (2) Reported results still mostly reflect old terms: - Fabio says: "we are seeing the prices increasing" - this suggests current pricing is improving - He mentions the improvement is happening "beginning in the second quarter" - suggesting Q1 results may not fully reflect the improvement But let me look more carefully. The question asks about "the 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." The transcript discusses commodity prices improving, which is a market condition, not necessarily the company's own contract terms.

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.
