Summary
McKesson Corporation (MCK) filed an 8-K on February 1, 2018, to announce its preliminary results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2017. The filing itself does not contain detailed financial figures but refers investors to an attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) for the specific operational and financial condition updates. Investors should consult this press release for the actual financial performance and any forward-looking statements made by the company during this period. This report serves as a notification of the preliminary earnings release, a standard procedure for publicly traded companies to disseminate timely financial information to the market. While the 8-K is furnished, it's crucial to note that the information is not considered 'filed' for certain regulatory purposes unless specifically incorporated into other filings. Therefore, the primary source of detailed financial information for this quarter remains the press release itself.
