Summary
This 8-K filing from KKR & Co. L.P. (KKR) on February 11, 2016, announces the company's financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2015. The primary purpose of this filing is to furnish a press release detailing these results, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1. Investors should note that this information is furnished and not officially "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, meaning it carries less legal weight regarding incorporation into future filings unless specifically referenced. The filing also briefly mentions KKR Financial Holdings LLC (KFN), stating that KFN will report its own financial results separately in its Form 10-K. This distinction is important for investors tracking both entities, as KFN's performance will be detailed in a subsequent filing. The press release itself, not fully detailed in the 8-K text provided, is the source of the actual financial performance data for KKR.
