Where can I find the detailed financial information for Q1 2016?

Does this filing indicate any major changes in the company's operations or strategy?

This 8-K filing focuses on the release of quarterly financial results and does not, in itself, indicate major changes in operations or strategy. Investors should refer to the content of the press release and financial supplement for performance details and potentially any management commentary that might allude to strategic shifts.

What does it mean that the information is 'furnished' and not 'filed' under certain sections of the Exchange Act?

When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02, it means it's provided to the SEC for public dissemination but is generally not subject to the same liability provisions of Section 18 of the Exchange Act as formally 'filed' documents. It also means it won't be automatically incorporated by reference into other SEC filings like registration statements.
