Conversion calendar in hand: management narrates the coming year as dated deliveries of business already secured
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2018 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. Let me examine the transcript for what management says about the forward quarters. Key forward-looking statements from management: 1. Sam Landy: "We have broken ground on several of our expansions and anticipate completing 305 sites this year. Our expansions are primarily located in Tennessee... We will be building 261 sites at 4 separate locations in Tennessee. We also plan to develop 19 additional sites in Indiana and 25 additional sites in Ohio. We are currently working to obtain approvals to build approximately 500 sites in 2019." 2. On acquisitions: "Our acquisition pipeline currently consists of five properties containing 2,000 sites, with a blended occupancy rate of 66% for a total of $78 million." 3. In Q&A: "We expect to close the deal here coming up in the next few weeks, and then we have two scheduled with closing dates for December that's actually about $35 million. And then as far as the 2019 closing, it looks like those are going to be Q2, Q3 possibly." 4. On rental homes: "We are on track to meet our annual goal of installing and renting 800 new homes this year. So far this year, we have added 608 rental homes to our portfolio." 5. On expansions: "We have broken ground on several of our expansions and anticipate completing 305 sites this year." Now, the question asks about "NEXT FOUR OR SO QUARTERS" - so roughly the coming year from the call date (November 2018). The acquisitions: management says they expect to close one deal in the next few weeks, two scheduled for December (about $35 million), and 2019 closings in Q2, Q3. These are identified acquisitions with timing. Are they "already secured"? The December ones are "scheduled with closing dates" - so they appear contracted. The 2019 ones are less certain but described as pipeline. The expansions: broken ground, anticipating completing 305 sites this year (2018). These are already in motion - construction underway. The 2019 approvals are still being obtained - that's contingent. The rental home program: 800 homes this year, on track. This is ongoing business at their usual scale - they've been doing this.
