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

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to announce and provide access to CME Group Inc.'s financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, through an incorporated press release.

What are non-GAAP financial measures and why does CME Group present them?

Non-GAAP financial measures are financial metrics that are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). CME Group presents non-GAAP net income and earnings per share because management believes they provide important supplemental information to investors and management about financial and business trends and improve comparability with the company's prior financial reports.

Where can I find the detailed financial results?

The detailed financial results, including both GAAP and non-GAAP figures and their reconciliation, are provided in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this 8-K filing.

Are the non-GAAP financial measures as important as the GAAP measures?

While management finds non-GAAP measures useful for supplemental analysis and comparability, they should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
