Summary
CME Group Inc. (CME) filed an 8-K on May 1, 2019, to report its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The report primarily directs investors to a press release (Exhibit 99.1) for detailed financial information. This press release includes both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP net income and earnings per share. Management believes these non-GAAP measures offer valuable supplemental information for assessing financial and business trends, enhancing comparability with prior periods. While these non-GAAP figures are presented as a supplement to GAAP results, investors should refer to the press release for reconciliations between the non-GAAP and the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as required by Regulation G. This filing does not contain the detailed financial statements themselves but serves as a notification of their public release.
