Summary
CME Group Inc. (CME) has filed an 8-K report on April 22, 2026, primarily to disclose its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, through an attached press release (Exhibit 99.1). The report emphasizes that the information contained within the press release, including financial results, is not deemed "filed" under SEC regulations but is provided for informational purposes. Investors should note that while GAAP-based financial statements are available, the press release also includes non-GAAP financial measures such as revenues, expenses, operating income, net income, and earnings per share. Management of CME Group asserts that these non-GAAP measures offer valuable supplemental information for assessing financial and business trends and provide a better basis for comparison with prior periods. While these non-GAAP figures are presented as a supplement to GAAP results and are reconciled within the press release as required by Regulation G, investors are advised to consider them alongside, and not as a replacement for, the official GAAP financial statements. The filing also includes an Inline XBRL cover page as Exhibit 104.
