Summary
This Form 8-K filed by Equifax Inc. on February 3, 2005, primarily serves to announce the company's financial results for the three-month period and the full fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The report itself does not contain detailed financial figures but rather references a press release (Exhibit 99.1) where these results are disclosed. Investors should refer to the attached press release for specific performance metrics and operational highlights from the fourth quarter and the full year 2004. The filing indicates that the information provided in the press release is being furnished, not filed, under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This means it is not subject to the liabilities associated with that section, but it may be incorporated by reference into other SEC filings if explicitly stated. The key takeaway for investors is to access the press release for a comprehensive understanding of Equifax's financial condition and results of operations for the period.
