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 — Q3 2021 call → NOWe need answer YES or NO. Need analyze transcript. Question asks: Does management indicate economic terms of newest business have stepped up meaningfully above company's own recent norm, and improvement only begun to flow into reported results because most business in reported numbers still written at older less favorable terms? Need use only transcript. Need identify if management says new contracts/renewals at better terms vs own recent past, and reported results still reflect old terms. Let's parse transcript. CoreCivic Q3 2021. They discuss per diem increases, wage increases, contracts. Key points: - "Our government partners have been very collaborative in this effort by supporting our request for per diem increases that reflect above average wage inflation in current market. Across the company this year, we have provided the largest wage increases in my 12 years as CEO." This is about per diem increases to offset wage inflation. That sounds passing through cost increases, not genuine step-up? Need see. - "we are leaning way forward, on increasing our staffing levels in anticipation of higher utilization rates of our partners. This of course will likely have a material impact on margins, as we go into 2022." That's about costs. - "we have provided annual, as well as additional off cycle, wage increases and special incentives to help address depressed staffing levels. Conversely our government partners are experiencing the same staffing challenges, which has contributed to some of the per diem increases we were able to achieve as more budget dollars are allocated to help offset the wage increases." So per diem increases are to offset wage increases, not necessarily margin expansion. - "At our federal facilities, we are entitled to equitable adjustments to per diem rates to compensate us for any increases in wage rates mandated by the Department of Labor providing a potential hedge against increasing wage rates." Again pass-through. - "During the third quarter, we responded to a request for proposal from the State of Arizona to care for up to 2,700 inmates... We are optimistic in a contract award near the end of the year, which would obviously be more impactful in 2022." Not terms. - New lease with New Mexico: "new lease has an initial term of three years but includes automatic extension options that could extend the lease term through 2041.

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.
