Stale terms, scheduled reset: the existing book is priced for a world that has moved on
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2022 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes a meaningful portion of existing business being carried at prices/rates/terms set in the past that are now below current market conditions, and that this existing business is coming up for repricing/renewal/reset on a schedule management can already see, so that economics improve as older terms roll off, without needing new customers. Look at the transcript. The main issues: grocer issue, pricing changes, subscription fee increases, etc. The grocer issue: they had a disruption, now addressed. They mention pricing at grocer will be higher for consumers, but that's about new pricing for existing business? Actually, the grocer issue is about a disruption, not about repricing of existing book. They talk about subscription fee increases: they increased fees for new subscribers in Q1, and for existing subscribers in Q2. That is a repricing of existing book. They said: "In the second quarter, we increased fees to our existing Gold subscriber base as well, which catalyzed the largely price-driven revenue increase." And they noted churn. But is that about being below current market? They increased fees to reflect value. But is that a reset of existing book to current market? They did it, and it's done. They don't describe a schedule for future resets. They also mention "we expect subscription revenue will be moderately lower by $1 million to $2 million in the third quarter compared to the second quarter due to the late second quarter churn from our existing user base as we rolled out fee increases to the entire subscriber base." So that's a one-time event, not a forward-looking reset. The question asks: "does management describe that a MEANINGFUL PORTION OF THE COMPANY'S EXISTING BUSINESS is still being carried at prices, rates, or terms set in the past that are now clearly BELOW what the same business would command under current market conditions — AND that this existing business is coming up for repricing, renewal, or reset on a schedule management can already see, so that the company's economics are positioned to improve as those older terms roll off over the coming quarters, WITHOUT needing to win new customers or new demand to get there?" Management does not describe such a situation. They talk about the grocer issue being addressed, but that's about restoring volume, not about repricing existing contracts.

FISI · Q4 2023 → YESThe question is about whether management describes a meaningful portion of the existing business being carried at below-current-market terms, and that it's coming up for repricing on a visible schedul...YES The transcript shows management describing exactly this situation for the company's existing loan and securities portfolios (yields rolling off) and for a meaningful portion of its deposit book (the money-market campaign with 12-month guarantees that reset in July 2024). Jack Plants explicitly ties the expected margin expansion to these scheduled repric ings and redeployments of existing cash flows, stating that the improvement is already embedded in the company's current commitments and does not require new customers or demand. This matches the criteria for a "meaningful portion" of the existing business coming up for repricing on a visible schedule. The answer is therefore YES.
PTC · Q3 2017 → YESThe question is about whether management describes a meaningful portion of the existing business being carried at below-current-market prices/terms that are coming up for repricing on a visible schedu...YES Management describes a meaningful portion of the existing business (large enterprise customers on volume purchase agreements / perpetual licenses with discounted maintenance) being carried at below-current off-the-shelf rates. These older terms are expiring on a visible schedule (many in Q4 2017), creating a compelling event where customers must either convert 50%+ ACV uplift to subscription or renew maintenance at 25% higher rates. This repricing is already embedded in the existing book and will improve economics without new customers or demand, as confirmed by the large pipeline of such opportunities and the fact that most large deals are already moving to subscription.
UMBF · Q3 2022 → YESThe question is about whether management describes a meaningful portion of the existing business being carried at below-current-market terms that will reprice/reset on a known schedule, improving econ...YES The transcript shows management describing a meaningful portion of the existing loan book carried at past terms that are now below current market levels, with repricing already scheduled: 61% of loans (~$12.1 billion) are variable-rate, 60% repricing in the next quarter and 71% within 12 months, tied to short-end indices. Loan yields rose 74 bp quarter-over-quarter to 4.46% (cycle-to-date beta 37%), and the securities portfolio is rolling off at ~1.83% yield while cash flows fund higher-yielding loans.
