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 2015 call → NOWe need answer YES/NO. Need determine if management indicates 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 still old terms. We need parse transcript. Company EnLink Midstream. Q4 2015 earnings. Discuss 2016 guidance, capital, contracts. Need see if management says new contracts/rates/fees/spreads improved vs own recent past, and reported results still old terms. Transcript: They talk about stable fee-based contracts, minimal commodity exposure. No mention of new business terms stepping up. They discuss cost reductions, lower construction costs, renegotiating service fees (cutting costs). They mention new contracts with investment grade counterparty for Lobo II, Ascension Pipeline with new industrial customer requiring 150 million MMBtu per day contracted demand. But no indication of better rates/prices/spreads vs own norm. They talk about stable cash flows, fee-based contracts with minimum volume commitments. No mention of improved economics on new deals. They emphasize challenges, lower commodity prices, focus on execution. No step-up in terms. So answer NO. Need be careful: Question asks "economic terms of company's newest business — prices, rates, fees, spreads, contract sizes, durations, or profitability at which its most recent deals... have stepped up MEANINGFULLY ABOVE COMPANY'S OWN RECENT NORM" and "improvement only begun to flow into reported results". Management does not say this. They mention new contracts but not better terms. They mention "stable cash flows" not improved. They mention "renegotiating service fees" likely reducing costs, not increasing fees. So NO.

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.
