Where can I find the specific financial results for ADI's fiscal third quarter 2017?

The specific financial results are detailed in the press release dated August 30, 2017, which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this 8-K filing. You will need to refer to that exhibit for the detailed numbers on revenue, profitability, and other key financial metrics.

What is the significance of the information being 'furnished' rather than 'filed'?

When information is 'furnished' under an 8-K filing, it generally means the company is providing the information to the SEC and the public, but it does not carry the same legal liabilities or implications as information that is formally 'filed' under certain sections of securities laws (like Section 18 of the Exchange Act). This is a common practice for earnings releases.

Does this filing provide any future guidance or outlook from Analog Devices?

This 8-K filing itself does not contain future guidance. However, the accompanying press release (Exhibit 99.1) typically includes management's commentary and may contain forward-looking statements or guidance for future periods. Investors should review the press release for any such information.

What does it mean that ADI is an 'emerging growth company' in this filing?

Being an 'emerging growth company' (EGC) under the JOBS Act allows ADI certain regulatory accommodations, primarily related to financial reporting and disclosure requirements. However, this specific 8-K filing indicates that the box for electing not to use the extended transition period for new accounting standards is unchecked, meaning they may be taking advantage of this transition period if applicable.
