New normal declared and staffed: management says the company's recent level of business has become its new baseline, and
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2023 call → NO我们根据提供的财报电话会议记录,判断管理层是否将当前业务水平视为新常态,并正在为此运营。 首先,寻找证据表明当前活动水平高于公司近期常态,并被视为新基线。记录中,Steve Kelley提到“record design wins in 2023”、“record revenue in the high voltage part”、“record revenue in Industrial and Medical”等。但需要看是否明确表示这是新常态而非暂时高峰。 Paul Oldham说:“Overall, 2023 is progressing as we expected coming into the year. Our diversification strategy is enabling us to deliver substantially better financial performance than in prior cycles.” 这暗示当前表现优于以往周期,但未明确说这是新常态。 关于工业医疗市场,Steve Kelley说:“we are going to grow much faster than the market moving forward.” 这是展望,不是当前。 关于半导体,他们提到“we still believe that the second quarter will be our trough quarter”,即认为Q2是低谷,之后会回升,但这是预测。 关键点:管理层是否将当前水平视为新基线?他们提到“record”但未说“这是我们的新常态”。他们提到设计赢单数量创纪录,但那是未来增长的基础。 第二部分:公司是否正在运营到那个水平?他们提到扩大产能、新工厂等,但那是为未来增长,不是当前运营。 例如,Steve Kelley说:“we are executing a plan to more than quadruple the output of our Mexicali factory over the next two years.” 这是未来计划。 他们提到“we expect to generate a record number of design wins in 2023”,但设计赢单是未来收入,不是当前业务。 关于当前业务,他们提到“record revenue in Industrial and Medical”,但那是本季度,没有说这是新常态。 管理层强调“diversification strategy”使表现优于以往周期,但未明确说当前水平是新的基线。 此外,他们提到“backlog”在下降,因为客户调整订单模式,这暗示需求可能不是持续高涨。 总体来看,管理层将当前表现视为在挑战环境中的良好执行,但未明确表示这是新常态。他们更多谈论未来增长机会。 因此,答案应为NO。

Scott Kirby explicitly states that structural changes have set the industry (and United) up for higher margins than pre-pandemic levels, with United achieving 9% adjusted pre-tax margin in H2 2022 ahead of schedule and expecting to hit it again in 2023.
