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 2023 call → NOThe question asks whether management describes a situation where proven, repeat counterparties are asking for more than the company can currently supply, and the company is enlarging itself in response. Let me scan the transcript for any such description. The transcript covers Manulife's Q3 2023 earnings. Topics include: - APE sales growth, new business value, CSM growth - Asia, Canada, US, Global WAM segments - ALDA portfolio, real estate, cap rates - ECL credit losses - Basis changes, actuarial reviews - Vietnam persistency issues - US sales slowdown in accumulation products - Digital initiatives I see no mention of existing customers asking for more than the company can supply. There's no discussion of capacity constraints, backlogs, customers being told to wait, or the company building out capacity to meet demand from proven buyers. The discussion is about sales growth, new business, capital returns, and market conditions. The US segment actually saw lower sales due to high rates. Vietnam had persistency challenges. There's no narrative of satisfied repeat buyers demanding more than the company can deliver. The answer is NO.

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.
