Alphabet's detailed financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, are provided in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this 8-K filing. The company will also discuss these results during a conference call.

Does this 8-K filing contain the actual financial numbers?

No, this 8-K filing primarily serves as a notification that Alphabet is releasing its financial results. The specific financial data, such as revenue, earnings per share, and segment performance, is contained within the accompanying press release (Exhibit 99.1).

What are non-GAAP financial measures, and why are they mentioned?

Non-GAAP financial measures are metrics that exclude or include amounts that are different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Alphabet mentions them because they may provide investors with additional insights into the company's operational performance. A reconciliation between these non-GAAP measures and their comparable GAAP measures is provided in the press release.

What is the significance of the 'Event date' and 'Filed' date?

The 'Event date' (February 1, 2023) likely refers to the date the earnings were finalized or the decision to release them was made. The 'Filed' date (February 1, 2023) is the date Alphabet officially submitted this 8-K filing to the SEC.
