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 — Q2 2017 call → NOWe need answer only YES or NO. Need analyze transcript. Question asks: Does management indicate that economic terms of newest business (prices, rates, fees, spreads, contract sizes, durations, profitability) have stepped up meaningfully above company's own recent norm, and that improvement has only begun to flow into reported results because most business in reported numbers still written at older less favorable terms? Need use only transcript. Need identify if management says new business terms improved vs own recent past and reported results still reflect old terms. Let's parse. Transcript discusses Value Creation Plan, productivity savings, portfolio optimization, exiting pouches, etc. Revenue growth not focus. Gross margin improved 100 bps vs prior year. But no explicit mention of new contracts at higher prices/rates/spreads. They mention new food service distribution network, new nondairy products targeting food service. They mention pipeline of new business opportunities, confident overcome volume loss with new business and expanded sales as progress through balance of year and into 2018. But no specific terms of new business being better than recent norm. They mention productivity enhancements, cost savings, not pricing. They mention commodity prices lower, foreign exchange. No step-up in terms. They mention investments in capacity. No. Question asks about "economic terms of company's newest business" - prices, rates, fees, spreads, contract sizes, durations, profitability at which most recent deals, orders, contracts, renewals, transactions are being struck - have stepped up meaningfully above company's own recent norm, and improvement only begun to flow into reported results. Management does not say this. They say revenue growth not focus, building pipeline, but not that new business terms are better. They mention "premium juice sales increased 22%" but that's category, not terms. They mention "strong aseptic sales in food service channel" but no terms. They mention "contract expiration with private label nondairy customer" - negative. They mention "new line of nondairy products in control brand format specifically targeting food service operators" but no economics. They mention "we are on track with targeted productivity savings" - cost savings, not pricing. They mention "we expect these nonstructural costs to moderate" etc. Thus answer NO.
