The release of these results was accompanied by a press release, which is attached as an exhibit to this filing. Investors should note that while this press release provides key financial data, it is not being formally 'filed' under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor is it automatically incorporated into other SEC filings unless specifically referenced. Therefore, investors should consult the full press release for detailed financial performance and any forward-looking statements. While the specific financial figures are contained within the attached Exhibit 99.1 (the press release), this 8-K filing itself does not provide a detailed breakdown of the results. Investors looking for EPS, revenue, and other key performance indicators will need to refer to the press release. Given the timing of this filing, it's crucial for investors to understand the company's performance in the context of any significant events or market conditions impacting Equifax during that period. It is important to note that this filing predates the full disclosure and market reaction to the significant data breach that was announced shortly thereafter.
