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 → NOWe need answer YES/NO based on transcript. Need determine if management indicates 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 older terms. We need parse transcript. Company Warby Parker. They discuss revenue growth, glasses growth, average revenue per customer, pricing? They mention higher priced frames, lens enhancements, progressives, contact lenses, eye exams. But question specifically about "economic terms of company's newest business — prices, rates, fees, spreads, contract sizes, durations, or profitability at which its most recent deals, orders, contracts, renewals, or transactions are being struck" have stepped up meaningfully above company's own recent norm, and improvement only begun to flow into reported results. Need see if management says new business terms improved vs own recent past, and reported results still reflect old terms. They talk about glasses growth, higher priced frames, progressives, average revenue per customer up 9.6%. But is that a step-up in terms of new business? They mention "We continue to see strong adoption of higher priced frames and more complex lens types like precision progressives" and "customers opt-in to higher priced frames and lens enhancements... contributed nicely to average revenue per customer." Also "glasses overall grew over 13% year-over-year, compared to average growth of 8% over course of 2023." But that's growth, not necessarily terms. They mention "average revenue per customer grew 9.6%" driven by higher priced lenses, contacts, exams. But is that new business terms? Maybe. Second half: reported results still mostly reflect old terms? They raised guidance, but do they say improvement is early in numbers? They say "Our Q1 results are evidence that these investments are bearing fruit" and "we are raising full year guidance." They don't explicitly say better terms are only beginning to flow. They mention "We have yet to see evidence of a return to normalcy in optical industry" but not about terms. They mention "glasses are highest margin product and primary driver of gross margin expansion." But no statement that new business terms are better than recent norm and not yet reflected.

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.
