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 2018 call → NOWe need answer YES or NO. Need analyze transcript. Question asks: Does management indicate that economic terms of newest business (prices, rates, etc.) have stepped up meaningfully above company's own recent norm, and improvement only begun to flow into reported results because most reported business still older less favorable terms? We need use only transcript. Need identify if management says new business terms improved vs own recent past and reported results still reflect old terms. Transcript: They discuss price increases, tariffs, cost inflation. They say "we have initiated actions and plans on each of these elements already here in 2018, but recognize there may be a lag between tariff implementation and mitigation in 2019." They talk about price/cost neutral. They mention "we are working on that here in the fourth quarter to put price into the marketplace to offset that inflation." That's about passing through cost increases, not genuine step-up. They also mention "we continue to experience solid demand" etc. No indication that new business terms are meaningfully better than own recent norm. They discuss price increases to offset inflation, but that's cost pass-through. Also "we expect little impact of these tariffs in Q4 due to timing and inventory positions." That's about tariffs, not better terms. They mention "price realization" in Europe less than anticipated. No. Question asks specifically "economic terms of company's newest business" - maybe pricing? Management does not say new contracts at higher prices than recent norm except to offset costs. They say "we are working on price" but not achieved? They say "we have initiated actions and plans" and "there may be a lag." They also say "we feel confident that we can do so" for price in Cabinetry. That's future/planned, not already achieved. Also "we are focused on getting price here and the tariffs." Not actual. Thus answer 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.
