Using ONLY the supplied earnings call transcript and no outside information: On this call, does management describe that the company's ROUTES TO MARKET ARE MATERIALLY MULTIPLYING RIGHT NOW — that new channels, partners, distributors, retailers, resellers, platforms, geographies, or other pathways through which customers can buy or access what the company sells have recently gone live or are actively coming online — such that the number of places, relationships, or pathways through which the company's offering can be purchased is stepping up well beyond what produced the results just reported? Answer YES when management's own words convey, in whatever form fits the business, ONE coherent development: the company's commercial reach is visibly widening through channels that are real and already in motion — for example, new distribution or reseller agreements recently signed and now being activated, products newly placed on retail shelves or online marketplaces, launches into new countries or regions now underway, partners or intermediaries newly beginning to carry, sell, prescribe, recommend, or integrate the company's offering, a sales channel recently opened that the company previously lacked, or an expansion in the number of outlets, doors, accounts, or points of presence through which the product is now available — AND management conveys that this widened reach is new enough that its contribution is only beginning to show up, meaning the reported results still largely reflect the company's older, narrower footprint. The channels may take whatever form fits the industry, and the widening may come through one major new pathway or many smaller ones, so long as management treats it as a meaningful step-up in how broadly the company can now reach buyers rather than routine ongoing channel activity. Answer NO if the company's growth discussion is only about selling more through the channels it has always had; NO if the new channels are only being negotiated, explored, planned, or hoped for rather than recently live or actively coming online now; NO if the channel expansion described is routine, incremental churn normal for this business (ordinary store openings for a large retailer, regular dealer additions at a steady pace) with no sense of a step-up in reach; NO if management describes the expansion but treats it as immaterial or gives it only a passing mention; and NO if the idea appears only in an analyst's question that management does not itself affirm. Use only the supplied transcript. Answer only YES or NO.
