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 — Q1 2017 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的常态,并正在运营以维持该水平。记录中,管理层提到SPINRAZA销售强劲,第一季度收入超过4700万美元,并强调这是强劲的开端,预期持续增长。他们还提到与Novartis的合作、Bayer的付款、volanesorsen的进展等。管理层将当前财务表现描述为“强劲”,并展望未来增长,但并未明确将当前水平与过去常态对比,也未明确表示这是新的基线。他们更多是在描述当前进展和未来计划,而非强调业务量已跃升并成为常态。因此,答案应为NO。
