Repeat customers are now the ones asking for more capacity: management describes buyers it has already served pressing f
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2016 call → NOWe need answer YES or NO based on transcript. Need determine if management describes situation: proven repeat counterparties asking for more than company can supply, and company enlarging itself now. Need parse transcript. Transcript is Mattel Q3 2016 earnings call. Need find any mention of demand exceeding supply from existing customers, capacity constraints, company expanding capacity. There is mention of capital expenditures: "As expect, capital expenditures were up slightly as we invest in incremental dye cast [ph] capacity to support growth in our business and labor saving automation technologies." That suggests capacity expansion for die-cast (Hot Wheels?) to support growth. But is there mention of proven buyers asking for more than company can supply? Need look for statements about demand exceeding supply, backorders, allocation, etc. Search transcript for "capacity", "demand", "supply", "shortage", "backlog", "allocation", "cannot", "exceed", "more than". In Kevin Farr: "capital expenditures were up slightly as we invest in incremental dye cast [ph] capacity to support growth in our business and labor saving automation technologies." That is enlargement but no explicit mention of buyers asking for more than supply. Also "inventory up year-over-year as we positioned the business to deliver in the fourth quarter." Not shortage. Richard Dickson: "Barbie is playing an incredibly fast-moving trend based business which requires us to be nimble..." No. Chris Sinclair: "positive consumer takeaways aligning nicely with shipping." No. No mention of existing customers asking for more than company can supply. There is mention of "retailer confidence in the brand as they restock and expand our recent shelf space." That is existing retailers expanding shelf space, but not necessarily exceeding supply. No mention of inability to supply. Question asks: "does management describe that BUYERS WHO HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT FROM THE COMPANY AND SEEN THE RESULT ARE NOW ASKING FOR MORE THAN THE COMPANY CAN CURRENTLY SUPPLY THEM" - need all three elements. Not present. So answer NO. Need be careful: There is "incremental dye cast capacity" but no mention of proven counterparties asking for more. So NO. Final answer: NO.
