01—Abstract
Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed February 28, 2018. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Salesforce, Inc. (CRM) filed an 8-K on February 28, 2018, to report its financial results for the fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2018.
The filing primarily serves to attach the press release containing these results, which was issued on the same date. Investors should refer to the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) for detailed financial performance, including revenue, earnings, and other key metrics for the period. While the 8-K itself does not contain the specific financial figures, it officially incorporates the press release by reference.
Therefore, the core information investors need for analysis will be found within that press release. It's important to note the standard disclaimer that the information furnished, rather than filed, will not be subject to Section 18 of the Exchange Act, nor will it be automatically incorporated into future filings unless specifically referenced.
