What is the main purpose of this 8-K filing?

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to publicly announce and report The Priceline Group Inc.'s financial results for the first quarter of 2015, which ended on March 31, 2015.

Where can I find the detailed financial information for Q1 2015?

Detailed financial information, including the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015, and the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015, can be found within the press release (Exhibit 99.1) attached to this 8-K filing, which also includes a financial and statistical supplement.

What is the significance of the 'filed' vs. 'furnished' distinction for the financial information?

The distinction means that the unaudited consolidated balance sheet, statements of operations, and cash flows for the relevant period are considered officially 'filed' with the SEC and subject to liability under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The rest of the information in the press release is considered 'furnished,' meaning it is provided to the SEC but does not carry the same level of legal liability.

Does this filing include future guidance or outlook for the company?

This filing primarily reports historical financial results for Q1 2015. While the accompanying press release might contain forward-looking statements or guidance, this specific 8-K filing's core purpose is the disclosure of past performance. Investors would need to examine the press release and supplemental materials for any forward-looking information provided by the company at that time.
