First tranche delivered, larger tranches en route: the same engine that just produced has visibly more already scheduled
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2015 call → NOWe need answer only YES or NO. Need evaluate based on transcript. Need identify engine of new business with first tranche landed and larger tranches in motion. Let's parse. Management discusses new sales centers/destinations. Examples: The Strand Hotel NYC managing, purchase units 2018, sales center mid-year. Edgewater Hotel purchased, sales late 2016/early 2017. San Diego and Mayflower DC sales centers mid-year. Waikoloa Hawaii third quarter. Surfers Paradise Australia sales start by end March. Bali two new destinations, first units mid-2017, second 2019. These are new destinations. But are any actually delivered/opened in just-reported period? The call is Q4 2015. They mention "we announced in January that... began managing The Strand Hotel" - that's after quarter? January 2016, not in just-reported period? Also "just last week we purchased the Edgewater Hotel" - after quarter? Q4 2015 ended Dec 31, call Feb 25 2016. "just last week" is Feb 2016, not Q4. "We are well underway with preparations... expectation opening mid-year." "Assuming we meet expectations completing transaction early this year" - not landed. "In Asia-Pacific, we expect sales to start by end of March" - future. "I am very pleased to announce commitments to add two new destinations in Bali" - commitments, not delivered. So no first tranche landed in just-reported period? Maybe "we began managing The Strand Hotel" is a contract landed? But it's not in just-reported period? It's January 2016, after Q4. The question asks "in the just-reported period" - Q4 2015. Management on call describes accomplishments in 2015. Did any new engine deliver? They mention "we have commitments" not delivered. Also "we purchased Edgewater" after period. So no. Other possible engine: tour package programs (call transfer and encore programs). They say "tour bookings or activations on the books for 2014 from our call transfer and encore programs have increased substantially over 2015. We are continuing to ramp up these programs and our pipeline of new tours continues to grow. In fact, we have seen over a 40% improvement in tour package productions from these programs over the same time last year including another 5,000 new tours in our pipeline since the end of the third quarter." This is a program. Has first tranche landed? They have tour activations increased, pipeline.
