Sold before it exists: the company is already taking committed orders or reservations for output it cannot yet produce
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2017 call → NO我们根据提供的财报电话会议记录,判断管理层是否描述了“对手方已经承诺购买公司尚未能交付的产品/产能/服务”的情况。 关键点:公司正在建设或安装新产能(如FPD工具、中国IC工厂),但客户是否已经承诺购买这些未来产能? 在记录中,管理层提到: - FPD业务:需求强劲,设施接近满负荷,正在安装新工具,预计工具安装后将被充分利用。但未明确说客户已提前承诺购买新工具产能。 - 中国IC JV:与DNP合作,但未提及客户已承诺购买。 - 高-end IC:提到客户获得批准生产28nm,但这是客户自己的产能,不是公司已售出的产能。 管理层谈论的是预期需求、订单趋势,但未明确说“客户已经签约购买尚未建成的产能”。例如,FPD工具安装后预计会被充分利用,但这是基于市场趋势,而非具体承诺。中国JV是合作伙伴关系,不是客户承诺。 因此,没有明确证据表明对手方已承诺购买未建成的产能。回答NO。
