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 2023 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 improvement only begun to flow into reported results because most business in reported numbers still written at older less favorable terms? We need use only transcript. Need identify if management says new business terms improved vs own recent past and results still reflect old terms. This is a specific phenomenon. In transcript, management discusses revenue growth due to volume, tariff adjustments, mix. They mention growth in volumes above 10 cubic meters because average tariff better. They mention tariff adjustment in May. But is that "new business terms" meaning contracts? For utility, tariff adjustment is regulatory, not new business. They also mention commercial programs, collection, etc. They mention new business? They talk about privatization, regulation. But question asks "newest business" - prices, rates, fees, spreads, contract sizes, durations, profitability at which most recent deals, orders, contracts, renewals, transactions are being struck. In utility context, could be tariff increases? Management says revenue growth 10.4% due to volume and tariff adjustments. But is that "meaningfully above company's own recent norm"? They don't explicitly say new business terms improved vs own recent past. They mention tariff review in May, so tariff adjustment. But that's regulatory, not new business. Also they mention "growth in volumes above 10 cubic meter because we start looking not only at growth looking for an average tariff that's better for the Company." That suggests mix improvement: higher consumption customers with better tariffs. But is that "new business terms"? It's volume mix, not pricing terms. They also mention "we are rethinking relationship with customers, identifying opportunities, getting to know customers better, and paying attention to billing, ensuring that once service is provided, we have a collection rule..." That's collection, not pricing. Need see if management indicates better terms on new contracts? They discuss privatization, but not current business. They discuss energy projects, but not pricing. They discuss "new business view" but not specific deals.

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.
