Conversion calendar in hand: management narrates the coming year as dated deliveries of business already secured
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2017 call → NOThe question asks whether management lays out a timetable of specific conversions that are already secured or in motion, each with timing, so the forward story reads as a schedule of things turning on. Looking at the transcript, management discusses: - Rate filings: APT general rate case filed, seeking $55 million, with final order by July 10. Other filings pending (Louisiana, Tennessee, West Texas, Dallas). Expected 12-15 more filings this fiscal year requesting $70-80 million. - The APT case is in motion, with a statutory deadline of July 10, 2017. - The pipeline acquisition closed December 2016, and will be included in a GRIP filing in the fourth quarter (after the rate case concludes). - Rate increases already providing $27 million incremental margin in Q1. But the question asks about "conversions" - pieces of business already secured that start contributing on a timetable. The rate cases are regulatory filings seeking approval - they are not yet secured. The APT case is pending, not approved. The filings seek increases but outcomes are uncertain. The pipeline acquisition is closed, and it will be included in a GRIP filing in Q4 - that's a secured item with timing. But is it presented as a schedule of things turning on? The rate cases are the primary driver, but they are pending approvals, not secured. The question says items still being pursued, negotiated, piloted without commitment, or awaiting approvals do NOT count. The rate cases are awaiting regulatory approval - they are not secured. The APT case is in process, not decided. The pipeline acquisition is closed and will be in a GRIP filing - that's one item, but the forward story is dominated by rate cases seeking approval, which are contingent. So the answer is NO - the forward discussion rests on rate filings awaiting approval, not on secured conversions with timetables.
