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 2022 call → NOWe need answer YES or NO. Need analyze transcript. Question asks: Does management indicate that economic terms of newest business 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 conveys both halves. Transcript: Valvoline Q1 2022. They discuss pricing in Global Products: raw material cost increases, pass through pricing. They say "We began to pass through raw material cost increases with pricing in second half of fiscal ‘21 and continued in Q1 this year." "We've made good progress in passing through price increases and expect to continue these efforts to recover our costs moving forward." "price cost lag" impacted margins. "In a rising raw material environment we’re impacted by price cost lag, but in following part of cycle historically able to structurally improve unit margins." "We have a long history of success in recovering cost increases with pass through pricing." "pandemic induced volatility extended recovery cycle, but not changed confidence in recovering cost over time." Mary: "price cost lag impact was about negative $30 million... We've made real progress in passing pricing through. I think we've recovered a little bit better than 65% of our costs and we're continuing to work to recover costs for the remainder." "Sales growth outpaced volumes highlighting continued progress in pass through pricing and setting segment up for improved profitability and margins over time." Sam: "we have seen some stabilization in recent months, but crude move up... nearing top inflationary cycle... significant increases... base oil costs +80%... making moves adjusting finished lube pricing... quarterly contracts... larger lag in DIY... locked into when can adjust prices... definitely feeling lag current quarter and upcoming quarter. But over course 2022 we will be taking appropriate pricing actions to recover those costs." Question asks about "newest business" terms stepping up above company's own recent norm. This is about pricing increases due to cost pass-through.
