Summary
Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (ICE) filed an 8-K on October 28, 2015, to report its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015. This filing primarily serves to attach the press release detailing these results, which is the key information for investors. The report indicates that ICE's performance for the third quarter of 2015 is being communicated to the market through this announcement. Investors should note that the filing references non-GAAP financial information. While this is common practice for companies to provide a more refined view of operational performance, it's important for stakeholders to consult the accompanying press release and ICE's Form 10-Q for detailed explanations and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their GAAP equivalents. The 8-K itself acts as a notification mechanism for these results rather than providing the in-depth financial data.
