What is the primary purpose of this 8-K filing by Goldman Sachs?

The primary purpose of this 8-K filing is to officially report and provide access to Goldman Sachs' third-quarter 2022 financial results through an attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) and a presentation for their earnings conference call (Exhibit 99.2).

Where can I find the detailed financial results for Goldman Sachs' third quarter?

The detailed financial results are available in Exhibit 99.1, the press release attached to this 8-K filing. The presentation in Exhibit 99.2 also provides a summary and discussion of these results.

Is there any new operational information or guidance provided in this 8-K, beyond the earnings release?

This 8-K filing itself does not contain new operational information or guidance. It primarily serves as a vehicle to furnish the official earnings press release and conference call presentation, where such details would typically be found.

What is the significance of the statement that parts of Exhibit 99.1 and all of Exhibit 99.2 are not 'filed'?

When a document or portions thereof are 'furnished' rather than 'filed,' it means they are being provided to the public but are not subject to the same liability provisions under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This is common for earnings releases and presentations under Regulation FD, offering companies more flexibility in disclosure.
