Filed July 27, 2018For Securities:IBKR

Summary

Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (IBKR) filed an 8-K on July 27, 2018, to amend its previously reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018. The amendment primarily concerns an additional income tax expense of $584,000 recognized due to the dissolution of a foreign subsidiary during the quarter. This adjustment, while minor in the context of the overall results, slightly reduces reported net income and earnings per share.

The net income available for common stockholders was revised downwards by $1 million, and diluted EPS saw a decrease of $0.01. This filing serves as a disclosure of a precise accounting adjustment rather than an indicator of significant operational changes.
