What is the significance of the information not being 'filed' under Section 18?

When information is furnished rather than filed, it means that the company is providing it to the SEC but is not subjecting it to the same level of liability under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This is common for press releases furnished with an 8-K, as they are considered forward-looking statements or earnings announcements not intended to be incorporated into the company's formal SEC filings until later.
