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 2018 call → NOWe need answer YES or NO based on transcript. 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 in reported numbers still written at older less favorable terms. We need parse transcript. Company is Kite Realty Group Trust, REIT. Leasing spreads: "Our aggregate cash lease spread for 56 of the 58 comparable new and renewal leases was 8.2%, 16.5% for new leases and 7% for renewals. Our overall spread was negatively affected by two leases. One was a replacement anchor tenant that did not require us to invest any capital. The other was a renewal at a non-core property." So they report positive spreads. But question asks: Does management indicate 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 because most business in reported numbers still written at older less favorable terms? Need see if management says that. They mention leasing spreads, but not necessarily "meaningfully above recent norm" and "only begun to flow". They also mention "Big Box Surge initiative gained momentum" with leases, LOIs. But no explicit statement that new business terms are better than recent norm and that reported results still reflect old terms. They reaffirm guidance. They discuss same-store NOI growth 1.5% impacted by occupancy and Toys. They discuss dispositions. No indication of step-up in pricing of new leases vs recent norm. They say aggregate cash lease spread 8.2%, new leases 16.5%, renewals 7%. But is that "meaningfully above company's own recent norm"? They don't compare to prior periods. They note two leases negatively affected. They don't say this is a step-up. Also they mention fixed CAM conversions, but not economic terms. They mention ABR per square foot reset new high at $16.57. But that's portfolio average, not necessarily new business. They mention "ABR per square foot reset a new high" but that's overall portfolio, not new leases. They don't say improvement only begun to flow into results. They do say "Big Box Surge initiative gained momentum" with executed leases and LOIs, but no mention of terms being better than 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.
