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 2016 call → NOWe need answer YES or NO. Need analyze transcript. Question asks: Does management indicate that economic terms of newest business (prices, rates, fees, etc.) have stepped up meaningfully above company's own recent norm, and that improvement has only begun to flow into reported results because most reported business still written at older less favorable terms? We need use only transcript. Need identify if management conveys both halves. Transcript: Q1 2016 earnings. Management discusses strong results, yields up 7% in Q1, guidance raised. They talk about strong close-in demand, price integrity program, booking environment. They mention "strong, last minute demand helped our bookings at the same time while we were simultaneously enforcing our price integrity program." "It's very validating to me that we saw such strong close-in demand for products like the Caribbean, despite our program designed to eliminate last minute discounts." This suggests pricing improved? But question specifically about "economic terms of company's newest business" - new contracts, bookings, rates. Management says "We are now approximately 80% booked for the year with both load factor and pricing at a similar level at the same time last year. When adjusting for China, which is a much closer-in booking environment, we are ahead in both volume and rate for the balance of 2016." Also "our booking window has extended even further and is at its highest levels yet." "Caribbean performed extraordinary well in Q1, and balance of year also strong book position." "Alaska and Bermuda booked nicely ahead of same time last year in both occupancy and pricing." "Anthem... strong demand at superior prices, and we are also trending towards a record-yielding Alaska season." This indicates new bookings at better prices vs prior year? But is it "meaningfully above company's own recent norm"? They say record-yielding Alaska, strong pricing. But also they lowered Med expectations. Overall yield guidance increased. However, question asks about "newest business" terms stepping up meaningfully above company's own recent norm, and improvement only begun to flow into reported results because most reported business still written at older terms. Management says Q1 results strong, but guidance for full year yields up 2.5-4%, Q1 was up 7%. They say Q2 yield growth smaller due to Med, new ships ramp, etc.
