Sequential re-rating: management describes the same offering landing bigger the second and third time around
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2022 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes successive engagements of the same kind coming in at progressively larger size. The question asks about deals, orders, contracts, projects, customers, sites, or programs. We need to see if management conveys that the individual size of what it lands now is bigger than before for the same offering. Looking at the transcript, management discusses House of Sport stores, store conversions, etc. They talk about opening new House of Sport locations, converting existing stores, and the performance of House of Sport. They mention that House of Sport locations have higher sales and profit per square foot. But do they say that each new House of Sport is larger or broader than the previous ones? They talk about opening 9 new locations in 2023, and 10 more in 2024, and potentially 75-100 over five years. But they don't explicitly say that the size of each new store is escalating. They mention that they are converting existing Field & Stream stores to House of Sport or larger format DICK'S stores. But that's about converting existing stores, not necessarily that each new engagement is larger. They also talk about GameChanger, but that's a software platform, not about deal size. They talk about Moosejaw acquisition, but that's an acquisition, not a repeatable business engagement. They talk about premium full-service footwear decks being added to over 100 stores, but that's a rollout, not necessarily escalating size per store. The question is about "successive engagements of the same kind" coming in at progressively larger size. For example, if they were signing contracts with vendors, or opening stores, and each new store is bigger than the last. But here, they are opening House of Sport locations, but they don't say that each new one is bigger than the previous. They say they are opening 9 in 2023, and 10 in 2024, but no mention of size escalation. They also mention that the initial three House of Sport locations exceeded expectations, and they are expanding. But that's about performance, not about size of each new one. They also talk about converting existing stores to House of Sport, which might be larger format, but that's a conversion, not a new engagement. The question also asks about "deals, orders, contracts, projects, customers, sites, or programs." Could be about store openings as sites.
