Repeat customers are now the ones asking for more capacity: management describes buyers it has already served pressing f
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2017 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 Pacira Pharmaceuticals, maker of EXPAREL. They discuss growth, partnerships, J&J collaboration, etc. Key points: - They have a partnership with J&J for co-promotion. They talk about "account activation" and growth. But is there any mention of existing buyers asking for more than they can supply? The company is selling a drug, EXPAREL. They have manufacturing capacity. They mention expanding manufacturing in the UK. They say "we continue to invest in the expansion of our manufacturing facilities in the UK with the first commercial manufacturing on track to begin in the second half of 2018." They also mention "200 liter scale up of manufacturing capabilities in the UK." They talk about gross margin improving to 85% as they build capacity. But is there any statement that existing customers, having used EXPAREL, are now demanding more than the company can supply? The transcript focuses on growth initiatives, partnerships, education, and guidance. There is no explicit mention of customers asking for more than supply. They talk about "account activation" with J&J, but that's about training customers on technique, not about demand exceeding supply. They mention "we have plenty of capacity from our current facilities in San Diego and our online facilities coming late this year in Swindon." That suggests they have capacity. They are expanding for margin improvement, not because of unmet demand. The question asks specifically: "does management describe that BUYERS WHO HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT FROM THE COMPANY AND SEEN THE RESULT ARE NOW ASKING FOR MORE THAN THE COMPANY CAN CURRENTLY SUPPLY THEM?" I see no such description. The demand is from new customers, new partnerships, expanding indications, etc. There is no mention of existing customers being put on allocation or waiting. Thus, the answer is NO.

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.
