Just to be very clear, you're not assuming or you don't see a need for external equity to support this program? The internal cash flow and asset sales should fund all your needs to suppo... | You're correct. So this is an unambiguous yes. The program is such that between our internally generated cash flow, including some asset sales, we fully fund our program and pay the dividends and also some modest debt pay down as well.

Just be curious as you look at the back half and into 2020, do you think that this can get back to growth? Or are you thinking that kind of stabilization is the right way to be thinking about this business? | I think stabilization is probably about the best.

So is it fair to say the contracts are at least as long, maybe longer than what you would typically see in your GWS business? | Oh, yeah. Big, complex projects like that last for years and years. I'll give you another example. They're working on a $6 billion redevelopment at the Toronto Airport. Any of us that have gone to airports and seen these projects, no, they go on for a long time. So, yes, those contracts are very long term. | 18.03 | cd6e7b1be7f82bb5cf51c14e1c4b2f8fb36a80ff7619822b88ff170d2643888e | en | earnings_call | executive_prepared_remarks | executive_qa | true | true | 9 | FinCall-Surprise | Apache-2.0 | human_core_73 | false | T02-SSQ-031 | ||

And then just wanted to clarify something else on IQOS. I know you have this agreement, of course, with Philip Morris and you shared some of those details. I think it was actually a year ago. So I'm curious, can you share with us if you've reached 50 bps of dollar share in any of the markets whe... | Yes, Bonnie. The answer is yes. We believe we have achieved it related to the exclusivity. We've shared that data with PMI, and that's why you saw us moving to other expansion areas. | 10.45 | de7c277cf61bfc0e5c9c5670257f577d27959c7efe408e33e4ed491073d91543 | en | earnings_call | executive_prepared_remarks | executive_qa | true | true | 9 | FinCall-Surprise | Apache-2.0 | human_scale_v04 | false | SS4-005 | ||

How large do you expect Nashville to be in the near term? | We'd like to get Nashville up to 3% or 4% in the near term. When you start looking at economies of scale and efficiencies, we really need to have 1,500, 2,000 apartments to actually get to that efficiency level. And so we definitely are going to be aggressive in Nashville and continue to push there. | 22.95 | 0007ff92686e33241c69d5a5ce7fd1717ded8f06fef586536bd3579854e361d6 | en | earnings_call | executive_prepared_remarks | executive_qa | true | true | 9 | FinCall-Surprise | Apache-2.0 | human_scale_v03 | false | SS3-007 | ||

Coming back to the value-added side of the piece, obviously, really strong results. So I'm just curious, are there any particular regions or areas of the country where you are seeing more growth? Or is it more broad-based? | Yes. The exciting part about it is we've seen that expansion and growth broadly across all geographies.

ECV-0094 | core | 2406228 | 22 | Following our prepared remarks, Terry and I will take any questions you have. I'll begin on slide three. In the third quarter, we reported earnings per share of $1.30 and generated total revenue of $5.9 billion. | 12.27 | 99453babfdf27d1c08b846e81ded25244eb093ea408c89b00a25e6c0bfdbbedc | Okay. So what is -- I guess how do you think about the profit margins on these relationships? I mean it seems like we provide more one-stop shopping. It should be better service for the customer, and you should be making more on that, so not just the revenues. I mean what would you expect the earnings to increase by? I... | Yes, they will. I was quoting a revenue number. I would expect the earnings to be higher than that because the marginal cost of many of these products and services is not as high because they go on the platforms we already have established. | 13.49 | 55933619d615c9ce7bd61c53d129d25df5a7f18fbf9379d4b4c269c029923355 | en | earnings_call | executive_prepared_remarks | executive_qa | true | true | 9 | FinCall-Surprise | Apache-2.0 | human_core_73 | false | T02-SSQ-002 | ||

And Jason, you recently flagged some upward expense pressure at an industry conference, which has been a big focus for investors. So understand that, and it's probably too early to get much of a sense for magnitude on that front. But if it is possible to try to frame the magnitude, that would be helpful, number o... | I don't want to ramble.

And if I could just ask a last clarifying one, Don, can you just give us what the total PPP income was this quarter versus last? | The total, which would include the interest on the individual loans, was $56 million, including the $45 million in fees. Last quarter, that was $69 million, including $50 million of fees.

Do you expect a similar pro out performance to continue through the end of the year? | Yeah, I think, again, we would expect PRO to remain strong as we go through the balance of the year.

And do you feel like once this period of more pronounced seasonality is behind y... | Well, I mean, Nathan, is -- yes, we're growing at a pretty good pace right now, right?

And then just one quick one, long -term care claims, you said return to more normal levels this quarter. Was that on both claim frequency and severity?

Good question, Tom, because you're right. It had shifted. I mean, quite honestly, every metric has shifted back to pre -pandemic levels.

I think last year, you guys ended up toward the higher end of the initial range that you gave. Is there anything to be aware of for this year that might determine, either on the plus side or the minus side, where things end up in defense? | No. I think the guidance that we provided is reasonable. As you guys might know and remember, the defense markets in general have been very strong over the past 2 to 3 years. They can be lumpy in nature in terms of the bookings. So I think the guidance that we're providing is within a reasonable range. | 21.29 | 2834c18e5b2b61ae55362f09425afa8a7da9de07c48a478fca2466b4646d1f81 | en | earnings_call | executive_prepared_remarks | executive_qa | true | true | 9 | FinCall-Surprise | Apache-2.0 | human_scale_v04 | false | SS4-025 |
EarningsCallVoice: Core-100
EarningsCallVoice is a benchmark family for studying executive vocal delivery in earnings-call question answering. Core-100 contains 100 manually verified units. Each unit provides:
- an authentic reference clip from the executive's prepared remarks;
- the text of an analyst question;
- an authentic answer clip from the same executive in the Q&A;
- exact reference and answer transcripts;
- cryptographic hashes and technical metadata.
The question is text only. The release contains no cloned or otherwise synthetic speech. No executive names are supplied.
Why Core-100 exists
The benchmark is designed for controlled research on speaker preservation, voice cloning, delivery manipulation, and audio information beyond transcripts. Every admitted unit passed nine human gates covering complete boundaries, single-speaker purity, text-audio agreement, speaker identity agreement, question-answer coherence, and overall usability.
The full eligible pool contained 107 units. The public core was frozen without using delivery labels, model outputs, cloning scores, market outcomes, or downstream experimental results. It retains all 97 accepted original extractions and adds the three eligible boundary repairs with the highest frozen reference-answer Resemblyzer similarity. This tie-break rule was fixed before downstream modeling. The remaining 7 eligible repairs are retained in the provenance ledger as a reserve set.

The Hub-native view embeds both audio columns for streaming and the Dataset
Viewer. Both are 16 kHz, mono, signed 16-bit PCM WAV. The original WAV files,
CSV, JSONL, and provenance ledger remain available under Files and
versions. The immutable, pre-viewer release payload is tagged v1.0.0.
As an independent release-level diagnostic, Whisper large-v3-turbo passed all 200 clips under the declared WER and first/last-edge thresholds. Mean normalized WER was 2.83%. This diagnostic does not replace the human judgments.
Data statement
- Domain: U.S. public-company earnings calls from 2019 to 2021.
