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 — Q1 2016 call → NOWe need to determine if management indicates that economic terms of newest business have stepped up meaningfully above company's own recent norm, and that improvement has only begun to flow into reported results. Let's analyze the transcript. The question is about economic terms of new business (prices, rates, fees, etc.) improving vs company's own recent past, and that reported results still reflect old terms. In the transcript, management discusses 2Ku, new contracts, satellite capacity commitments, etc. But do they explicitly say that the terms of new business (e.g., pricing, rates, profitability) have improved vs their own recent norm? They talk about "secured large capacity commitments with Intelsat and SES" and "we secured a lot more capacity at lower cost" - that's about cost, not revenue terms. They also mention "unveiled our powerful new modem" etc. But the question is about economic terms of the company's newest business - i.e., the deals they are signing with airlines, etc. Do they say that new contracts are at better rates or higher profitability? They mention "2Ku awarded aircraft over the 1000 mark" and "massive momentum" but not specifically that the economic terms of these deals are better than their own recent norm. They talk about "we are making great progress on the increasing volume of STCs" etc. They also mention "we expect ARPA growth to be modest in 2017 and accelerate in 2018 as we get more 2Ku aircraft online." That suggests that the revenue per aircraft will improve as 2Ku comes online, but that is about future growth, not necessarily that the terms of new business are already better than recent norm. They also mention "we are seeing ARPA growth in Business Aviation" but that's existing business.
