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 answer YES or NO based on the transcript. The question asks: Does management indicate 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 has only begun to flow into reported results because most of the reported numbers were still written at older, less favorable terms? We need to find evidence in the transcript. The question is about "economic terms" like prices, rates, fees, spreads, contract sizes, durations, profitability. The transcript discusses various segments. We need to see if management says that new deals are at better terms than recent past, and that the reported results still reflect old terms. Let's scan the transcript. Gerry Shreiber talks about various sales. He mentions soft pretzels down, churros up, funnel cakes up, etc. He mentions "We have a lot of targets in the fire and we’re expecting that to improve over the near-term." That's about volume, not necessarily terms. He mentions "In-house sales and food service were up, led by sales to one customer." That's volume. He mentions "Churros sales were up a strong 7%, as this product line continues to demonstrate strong growth with a good portion of the increase coming from our newly introduced OREO churros." That's new product, not necessarily better terms. He mentions "Our whole-grain funnel cake product has been well received in schools and contributed significantly to our sales growth in this quarter." Again volume. He mentions "In frozen beverages, gallon sales were up 11% and service revenue to others was up 16% in the quarter as this business continues to perform very well." That's volume and service revenue. He mentions "We renewed our representation agreement with Mike Trout, baseball superstar, for several more years" - that's a renewal, but no mention of terms. He mentions "We continue to look patiently, but diligently for acquisitions" - not relevant. He mentions "We bought back 27,083 shares" - not relevant. He mentions "We are presently estimating capital spending for the year to be in the range of $35 to $40 million or so." Not relevant. He mentions "A cash dividend of $0.39 a share and 0.08% increase was declared" - that's a dividend increase, but not about business terms.
