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 2017 call → NOWe need answer YES/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 still older terms. We need parse transcript. Company Polaris. They discuss Q3 2017 results. Key topics: retail growth, market share, promotions, pricing, new products. Need see if management describes new business terms (prices, orders, contracts) improved vs own recent past, and that reported results still reflect old terms. Look for statements about pricing, ASP, orders, new products. Scott Wine: "successful third quarter launches of our all New Ranger XP 1000, RZR XP Turbo EPS with dynamics..." "new RANGER order levels being up 150%, Dynamics being up 200%" in response to question about order trends. Also "new pricing structure in the turbos is working exactly as we had intended." That suggests new products have higher pricing? But is that "economic terms of company's newest business" meaning prices on new orders? Need see if management says these better terms have only begun to flow into reported results. They mention "We have not retailed out a significant number of units yet, we want to clear through the 2017 inventory. So, we now got both the new RANGER as well as the Dynamics products in the hands of dealers. For those that we have retail, we've been very happy with what we're seeing so far." This is about new model year 2018 products with new pricing. But does it indicate better economics vs own recent norm? They mention "new RANGER order levels being up 150%, Dynamics being up 200%" - that's order volume, not necessarily price. "new pricing structure in the turbos is working exactly as we had intended" - implies pricing strategy achieved. But need both halves: terms improved and reported results still old terms. They also mention ASPs up 6% in Q3 due to mix, but that's reported results. They say Q4 shipments more in line with retail, promotional spending down sequentially, gross margin improvement. But is there explicit statement that better terms on new business are only beginning to flow? They talk about new products launched in Q3, but reported Q3 includes some of those? They launched new Ranger XP 1000, RZR XP Turbo EPS with dynamics.

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.
