Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed October 20, 2020. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (IBKR) filed an 8-K on October 20, 2020, to report its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.
The company issued a press release on the same date containing these results, which is included as an exhibit to this filing. Investors should refer to the press release (Exhibit 99.1) for detailed financial performance information, as the 8-K itself primarily serves as a notification of this release and does not contain the financial data directly within the main body of the report. The information furnished in this report is not deemed 'filed' for regulatory purposes under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, meaning it doesn't carry the same legal weight as formally filed documents unless explicitly incorporated into other filings.
