Conversion calendar in hand: management narrates the coming year as dated deliveries of business already secured
The model's full reasoning — Q2 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 a time frame—so the forward story reads as a schedule of things turning on. Looking at the transcript, management discusses Q3 guidance: revenue between $142M and $147M, growth due to consumer electronics. They mention consumer electronics orders split between Q2 and Q3, with Q3 expected to be higher year-on-year. They also mention logistics growth, automotive, etc. But do they identify specific secured business with timing? They say: "we expect consumer electronics will grow in 2016" and "we now expect consumer electronics will grow in 2016" - but that's a forecast, not a secured timetable. They mention "substantial orders from consumer electronics" but that's general. They mention the MX-1000 first volume order from a delivery service company, but that was "a relatively small order of around $100,000 initially" and "not particularly material to this year." They mention acquisitions "in more advanced discussions" but not closed. The forward guidance for Q3 is given, but it's based on expected demand, not a schedule of already-secured conversions. The discussion is about market conditions, demand strength, and expectations. There's no specific list of already-won contracts with dates. The consumer electronics orders are described as expected, not already booked with specific timing. The MX-1000 order is small and not material. Thus, the answer is NO. The forward discussion rests on demand strength and market conditions, not a dated schedule of secured items.
