Running hot in customers' hands: existing deployments are being used harder than they were sized for
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2017 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes that the company's product/service/capacity is being used more intensively by existing customers than originally planned, with observable current usage behavior. The transcript mentions various things: frozen fruit demand decline, but they are investing in Mexican operations. They mention "strong demand in fruit ingredients" offsetting decline. They mention "contract for organic ingredients ahead of prior year." They mention "we have experienced growth in the contract for organic ingredients ahead of prior year." That could be interpreted as existing contracts being used more? But it's not clear. They also mention "premium juice sales increased 22% year-over-year" but that's not necessarily usage intensity. They mention "aseptic sales declined 8%". They mention "we are encouraged by the pipeline of new business opportunities" - that's future. They mention "we recently launched a new line of nondairy products in a control brand format, specifically targeting food service operators." That's new product. The question asks: does management describe that the company's product, service, capacity, or offering — as ALREADY deployed, installed, adopted, or in use with its EXISTING customers — 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? Look for phrases like "existing customers are using more" or "utilization is higher than expected" or "customers are consuming at higher rates". The transcript mentions "we have experienced growth in the contract for organic ingredients ahead of prior year." That could be interpreted as existing contracts are generating more volume than before, but it's not clear if it's about usage intensity. Also "strong demand in fruit ingredients" - that's demand, but not necessarily from existing customers? It could be new customers. The transcript also mentions "we are on track to achieve our productivity enhancement targets" - that's about cost savings, not usage. The key is: is there any statement that existing customers are using the product more than planned? I don't see any explicit statement. They talk about "pipeline of new business opportunities" - that's future.
