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 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 terms. We need parse transcript. This is Snap-on earnings call. They discuss sales, orders, acquisitions, etc. Need see if management says new business terms (prices, rates, spreads, contract sizes, profitability) improved vs own recent past, and reported results still reflect old terms. Look for mentions of pricing, orders, terms. There is discussion of SFC orders: tool storage up, other products down, orders down overall from record. Not better terms. Acquisitions dilutive. No mention of price increases or improved contract terms. There is mention of "pricing for visible steel" maybe? In response to question about pricing models: "We're always reviewing situations. For example, steel costs are going upwards. We could look at pricing associated – we've always said we can price for visible steel." That is cost pass-through, not step-up. Also no indication of new business terms better than recent norm. There is mention of new products like ZEUS, power tools, but not terms. Financial services: yields stable (17.9% vs 18.0% prior year, 9.2% vs 9.4%). No improvement. Loan originations up slightly but not terms. No. Question asks: "On this call, does management indicate that the ECONOMIC TERMS OF THE COMPANY'S NEWEST BUSINESS — the prices, rates, fees, spreads, contract sizes, durations, or profitability at which its most recent deals, orders, contracts, renewals, or transactions are being struck — have stepped up MEANINGFULLY ABOVE THE COMPANY'S OWN RECENT NORM, and that this improvement in the terms of incoming business has only BEGUN to flow into the reported results, because most of the business in the reported numbers was still written at the older, less favorable terms?" Answer NO. No such indication. They mention acquisitions dilutive, no pricing power improvement. So 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.
