Repeat customers are now the ones asking for more capacity: management describes buyers it has already served pressing f
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2022 call → NOWe need answer YES/NO based on transcript. Need determine if management describes buyers who already bought and seen result are asking for more than company can supply, and company enlarging in response. Need parse transcript. Transcript: Ric Fulop highlights record quarter, revenue growth, customer wins. Mentions "repeat growing customers" list. But does he say they are asking for more than company can supply? Let's scan. He says "we continue to see successful customers expand their deployments with our solutions with new orders beyond their initial systems, and this represents a meaningful revenue driver as well as an important barometer of the overall success of our solutions. Repeat growing customers in the second quarter include BWXT, Eaton, Ford, Gulfstream, Honeywell, Kennametal, the Navy, Nissan, Oak Ridge National Labs and Saudi Aramco, just to name a few." That indicates existing customers expanding, but not necessarily exceeding supply. He mentions "Caterpillar printing molds... example of a company that initially had one machine, and then there's now 4 systems running between partners and themselves just trying to keep up with production. And they have a huge backlog that they're trying to catch up with." This is in response to analyst question about macro. He says "we have many, many customers who are behind production and are looking at us as a solution. Just took Caterpillar last week, and this is an example of a company that initially had one machine, and then there's now 4 systems running between partners and themselves just trying to keep up with production. And they have a huge backlog that they're trying to catch up with." This suggests existing customer expanding, but is it "asking for more than company can supply"? Not exactly. It says customer has huge backlog, trying to keep up with production. But not that company can't supply. He mentions "we continue to see momentum in blue chip customer adoption... BMW is using our solutions... and is in process of expanding capacity to support a larger percentage of their vehicles." That's customer expanding capacity, not company. He mentions "we've also started an effort to monetize our robust IP portfolio..." Not relevant. He mentions "strategic integration and cost optimization initiative" with cost savings, not capacity expansion. He mentions "FreeFoam" new product, not yet.

Existing customers who previously bought fixed-tilt racking (proven repeat counterparties) have switched to the new 1P TerraTrak tracker technology, creating rapid uptake that exceeds current supply capability.
