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 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 business was still written at older, less favorable terms. We need to look for evidence in the transcript. The question is about pricing, rates, fees, spreads, etc. of new business. The transcript discusses loan growth, net interest margin, fees, etc. But does management say that new loans are being written at higher rates or better terms than recent past? They talk about loan growth, pipelines, originations. They mention net interest margin guidance. But I don't see any explicit statement that new business is being struck at meaningfully better terms than recent norm. They talk about loan growth, but not about pricing improvements. They mention that they expect to benefit from interest rate increases, but they haven't included any in guidance. They say they are asset sensitive. But that's about future rate changes, not current new business terms. They also mention that they are building pipelines and expect to exceed $1 billion in originations. But no mention of better pricing. They discuss non-interest income growth driven by treasury management fees, mortgage gains, interchange fees, but not that these are at better terms than recent past. They discuss expenses, but not pricing. The question specifically asks about "economic terms of the company's newest business" such as prices, rates, fees, spreads, contract sizes, durations, or profitability. Management does not indicate that these have stepped up meaningfully above the company's own recent norm. They talk about loan growth but not about improved pricing. They mention that they are asset sensitive and would benefit from rate increases, but that's not about current new business terms. Also, they mention that they are buying back shares because they see it as an investment, but that's not about business terms. Thus, the answer is NO. The transcript does not contain such an indication. We must answer only YES or 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.
