Summary
Fortinet, Inc. filed an 8-K report on April 28, 2010, to announce its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010. The primary purpose of this filing is to furnish a press release detailing these results, which is incorporated by reference into the report. Investors looking for specific financial performance metrics, such as revenue, earnings per share, and guidance, would need to refer to the press release (Exhibit 99.1) for the actual figures. This 8-K filing serves as official notification of the earnings release date and the availability of the associated press release. While the 8-K itself does not contain the detailed financial data, it is the mandatory SEC filing that signals the public dissemination of that information. Investors should note that this information is furnished and not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, meaning it doesn't automatically become part of other SEC filings unless explicitly incorporated.
