Reporting the counterparty's growth as its own: management explains the company's coming year by narrating what its cust
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2018 call → NOWe need to determine if management explains the company's business direction by narrating what its counterparties are doing and scaling. The question asks: does a substantial part of management's forward account consist of reporting on the growth, expansion, ramp, adoption, or program build-out of specific customers, partners, etc., that the company already supplies or serves, such that the company's own coming volume is a consequence of those parties' trajectories? Looking at the transcript, management discusses various aspects: dispositions, same-site NOI, leasing volume, Toys "R" Us boxes, development projects, etc. They mention retailers expanding, but is that specific? They talk about "retailers focusing on store growth in the top 20 markets" and "demand from our retailers" but that's general. They mention specific retailers like Sprouts, Target, Costco, but those are tenants in their developments. However, the forward account is mostly about their own execution, dispositions, re-leasing, and development projects. They do mention that tax reform and Supreme Court ruling will boost retail outlook, but that's macro. They talk about "our retail partners" consistently citing tax reform as a factor in expansion plans, but that's not specific counterparties' trajectories. They mention "major retailers and off-priced furniture, fitness, specialty grocery, and arts and crafts" interested in Toys boxes, but that's demand, not specific scaling. The company's own actions dominate: dispositions, buybacks, development progress. The counterparties' growth is not the driver; it's more about their own portfolio repositioning. So answer NO.
