Where can I find the actual financial results for Flex Ltd.'s third quarter?
The specific financial results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2021, are detailed in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this 8-K filing. You should refer to that document for details on revenue, profit, and other key financial metrics.
What is the significance of the information being 'furnished' rather than 'filed'?
When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02, it generally means it's being provided to the SEC for public dissemination but is not subject to the same legal liabilities or scrutiny as information that is formally 'filed' under other sections of SEC rules. This is a common practice for earnings press releases.

This 8-K filing itself does not provide forward-looking guidance. Any guidance or outlook for future performance would be contained within the press release (Exhibit 99.1) that is furnished with this report.
What is the purpose of filing an 8-K for a press release?
