Conversion calendar in hand: management narrates the coming year as dated deliveries of business already secured
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2016 call → NOThe question asks whether management lays out a timetable of specific conversions - identified pieces of business already secured or in motion, each attached to an approximate time frame, so the forward story reads as a schedule of things turning on. Looking at the transcript, management discusses: - Loan growth in the quarter, but this is about past performance - Construction lending at $263 million, expected to revert down toward historic levels of ~$100 million - this is about a tailwind fading, not a new conversion - Mortgage banking - market share gains, condominium projects closing in the next year that could spike production - but this is somewhat vague, "a number of condominium projects that are closing out in the next year" - this is somewhat general - Branch refresh - Pearl City branch opening next month - this is a single branch opening, routine course - ATM fleet refresh - already in motion, reaching all-time high - Solar energy tax credit investments - already ramped The question asks about specific conversions with timetables. The Pearl City branch opening is one item but it's a routine branch opening, not something that steps the company beyond current level. The condominium project closings are mentioned but vaguely - "a number of condominium projects that are closing out in the next year" - no specific timing, and these are somewhat dependent on market conditions. The forward discussion seems to rest mainly on demand strength (Hawaiian economy performing well, visitor industry healthy, real estate market strong) and general optimism about loan growth continuing, rather than a specific schedule of secured items converting. The construction lending discussion is about a tailwind fading, not a new conversion. The branch opening is routine. The mortgage banking discussion mentions project closings but without specific dates or commitments. So the answer is NO - the forward discussion rests on demand strength and market conditions, not a dated schedule of secured items.
