Repeat customers are now the ones asking for more capacity: management describes buyers it has already served pressing f
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2023 call → NOWe need to determine if the transcript describes a situation where proven, repeat counterparties are asking for more than the company can currently supply, and the company is enlarging itself in response. Let's analyze the transcript. The company is IMAX. They discuss signings, installations, box office, etc. The question is about buyers who have already bought and seen results now asking for more than the company can supply, and management is working to enlarge. Key points from the call: - Rich Gelfond mentions "84 signings this year, compared to 47 for all of '22." That's about new signings, not necessarily repeat buyers. - He says "We're seeing exhibitors bring more IMAX to their existing multiplexes globally to drive growth rather than adding more conventional screens, such as multinational exhibitor Kinopolis, which in May, signed a deal to double its IMAX footprint." That is an existing customer (Kinopolis) doubling its footprint. That could be a repeat buyer wanting more. - He also mentions "We also more than doubled installations in Q2 over Q1 of '23 with 20 in the period." That's about installations. - He mentions "We now have 84 signings this year, compared to 47 for all of last year." That's overall signings. - He mentions "We're seeing exhibitors bring more IMAX to their existing multiplexes globally" - that suggests existing customers expanding. - He mentions "We also more than doubled installations in Q2 over Q1 of '23 with 20 in the period." That's about installations. - He mentions "We're seeing exhibitors bring more IMAX to their existing multiplexes globally to drive growth rather than adding more conventional screens, such as multinational exhibitor Kinopolis, which in May, signed a deal to double its IMAX footprint." That is a specific example of an existing customer doubling. But does the transcript indicate that these requests exceed what the company can currently supply? The question asks if management describes that buyers are asking for more than the company can currently supply, and the company is enlarging itself in response. Look for language about capacity constraints, backlog, inability to meet demand, etc.

Existing customers who previously bought fixed-tilt racking (proven repeat counterparties) have switched to the new 1P TerraTrak tracker technology, creating rapid uptake that exceeds current supply capability.
