Summary
Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS) filed an 8-K on October 17, 2017, to report its third-quarter financial results for the period ending September 30, 2017. The core of this filing is the incorporation of a press release (Exhibit 99.1) detailing these results. Investors should note that while the press release contains the specific financial figures and operational commentary, certain sections labeled 'Highlights' and a subsequent quotation are explicitly excluded from being deemed 'filed' under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, meaning they do not carry the same legal implications as the rest of the filed information. The primary purpose of this 8-K filing is to make the market aware of the company's quarterly performance. While the full details are in the attached press release, the filing itself serves as the official notification. Investors seeking to understand GS's performance in Q3 2017 should refer to the content of Exhibit 99.1, paying attention to the sections deemed 'filed' for legally binding information regarding the company's results of operations and financial condition.
