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

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to publicly announce and provide access to The Priceline Group Inc.'s financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015, as required by SEC regulations.

Where can I find the detailed financial information for Q2 2015?

The detailed financial information, including the unaudited consolidated balance sheet, statements of operations, and cash flows for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, is included within the press release filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

What is the difference between information being 'filed' versus 'furnished' in this report?

Information that is 'filed' (like the financial statements) is subject to liability under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, meaning it is subject to stricter review and accuracy standards. Information that is 'furnished' is generally not subject to the same level of liability, though it still provides important context.

Does this report contain forward-looking statements or guidance?

This specific 8-K filing primarily focuses on reporting historical financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. While the accompanying press release might contain forward-looking statements, the 8-K itself, as presented here, does not explicitly detail new guidance or forecasts. Investors should refer to the press release (Exhibit 99.1) for any such commentary.
