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 2017 call → NOWe need to determine if the transcript describes a situation where proven, repeat counterparties are asking for more than the company can supply, and the company is enlarging itself in response. Key points from transcript: - Strong bookings growth, but that's about future travel bookings from both new and existing customers. The question is specifically about repeat buyers who have already experienced the product and are now asking for more than current capacity. - Sven mentions "returning guests" and "ever-expanding audience" but does he say that existing customers are demanding more than capacity? He says "we are convinced that there's more activity as announced in the expedition space" and "we wanted to raise capital so that we could add capacity and make acquisitions to fill the significant excess demand." That suggests excess demand, but is it from proven repeat buyers? He says "returning guests as well as people undertaking this form of travel for the first time." So demand is broad-based, not specifically from repeat buyers. - The new ships (Quest, Venture) are adding capacity. But is the pressure from existing customers? He says "Demand for the Quest has been significant and equally as important, we have not seen any degradation in reservations on our existing vessels, giving us further confidence that there is substantial demand that can be fulfilled with expanded capacity." That suggests new capacity is filling, but not that existing customers are asking for more than they can supply. - The question asks: "BUYERS WHO HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT FROM THE COMPANY AND SEEN THE RESULT ARE NOW ASKING FOR MORE THAN THE COMPANY CAN CURRENTLY SUPPLY THEM" - that is, repeat customers are demanding more than current capacity. The transcript does not explicitly state that. It talks about strong bookings overall, but not specifically that repeat customers are being turned away or asking for more than can be supplied. There is no mention of customers being put on waitlists or told to wait. The company is adding capacity, but that seems to be based on overall demand, not specifically from proven repeat buyers. The demand is described as broad-based, including new customers. So the pressure is not specifically from repeat counterparties. Also, the company is not saying they can't supply; they are adding capacity to meet demand, but that demand includes new customers.

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.
