New business is being written on visibly better terms than the company's own recent norm, and the mix shift has just beg
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2016 call → NOWe need answer YES/NO based on transcript. Need determine if management indicates economic terms of newest business have stepped up meaningfully above own recent norm and only begun to flow into reported results. We need parse transcript. The question asks about "newest business" - likely BMO Transportation Finance acquisition? Or new business terms? Need see if management says new deals at better terms than recent norm, and results still reflect old terms. Look for comments about pricing, rates, spreads, etc. There is discussion of U.S. P&C, NIM, rate sensitivity. Dave Casper says U.S. P&C NIM increased by 16 bps in 2016, and going forward absent rate increases like 2-3 bps per quarter decline, but rate hikes could offset. That's not necessarily new business terms step up. There is discussion of higher rates in New Year benefit. But that's future market moves, not already achieved. There is discussion of BMO Transportation Finance acquisition performing well, but not about terms of new business. There is discussion of capital markets strong revenue, but not about pricing. Question specifically: "economic terms of company's newest business — prices, rates, fees, spreads, contract sizes, durations, or profitability at which its most recent deals, orders, contracts, renewals, or transactions are being struck — have stepped up MEANINGFULLY ABOVE THE COMPANY'S OWN RECENT NORM, and that this improvement in the terms of incoming business has only BEGUN to flow into the reported results, because most of the business in the reported numbers was still written at the older, less favorable terms?" Need find if management says that. Possibly in U.S. P&C: Dave Casper says "we had strong organic growth at loans, personal and commercial deposits and revenues particularly as the year progressed. This was highlighted by quarter-over-quarter organic growth of 6% for revenue, 17% for provision pretax and 15.5% for net income growth." That's growth, not terms. Also "prospect of higher rates in the New Year which will be a benefit given our significant commercial and personal deposit base." That's future. Tom Flynn: "we do have a positive sensitivity to higher U.S. rates... A 100 basis points parallel shift... in the zone of a $175 million of revenue..." That's sensitivity, not actual new business terms. No mention of new business terms improving vs own recent norm.

CRL · Q2 2022 → YESThe question is about whether management indicates that the economic terms of the company's newest business have stepped up meaningfully above the company's own recent norm, and that this improvement ...YES Management's comments on Safety Assessment pricing and backlog directly address both required elements: they describe current bookings and backlog at "escalating prices" and "meaningful price increases" that are already achieved on real transactions (not targets or future expectations), while noting that the reported Q2 results are still dominated by older 2022 terms and that the stronger pricing is accelerating into H2 and 2023 bookings.
