Running hot in customers' hands: existing deployments are being used harder than they were sized for
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2017 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes that the company's product/service/capacity/offering is being used more intensively by existing customers than originally planned, with observable current usage behavior. The transcript discusses various segments. Key points: Europe retail comps up mid-teens, wholesale order book up 3%. Asia comps positive but revenue below expectations due to transition. Americas comps down. E-commerce growth 11% in US/Canada. The question asks about "existing customers" using the product more intensively than planned. This could be interpreted as same-store sales growth (comps) indicating existing stores selling more per store. But is that "usage intensity" beyond what was planned? The transcript mentions Europe retail comps up mid-teens, which is strong. However, is that described as "ahead of what the company or customer originally planned"? The management says "we are pleased with the continuing strength in the business" and "comp increases in almost all markets". But they don't explicitly say that this usage is above planned levels. They do mention that the order book for fall/winter is up 3% after being down 8% for spring/summer, indicating a shift. But that's about wholesale orders, not necessarily usage intensity. The question specifically asks: "Is being USED, CONSUMED, RUN, OR DRAWN ON MORE INTENSIVELY than those relationships were originally sized, scoped, or expected to require, with this heavier usage described as actually observable in the current business?"
