01—Abstract
Summary
Summary of the 8-K/A filed July 28, 2020. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
This filing is an amendment to a previously filed 8-K report by Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (IBKR).
The primary purpose of this amendment is to correct a technical HTML conversion error in the Selected Financial Information table included in the original filing. Specifically, the amounts disclosed for basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding were duplicated within the same cell for all presented periods. The company has provided a revised table with the corrected data, ensuring accurate historical share count information for investors.
Beyond the correction, the filing also presents updated Selected Financial Information. Investors should note a reclassification of certain revenue items. For the years 2015 through 2019, amounts previously reported as 'other income' have been reclassified to 'other fees and services,' and amounts previously reported as 'trading gains' have been reclassified to 'other income' as a component of 'principal transactions.' These reclassifications impact the presentation of revenue streams but do not alter the overall financial performance or net income figures.
