What is the main purpose of this 8-K filing?

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to announce McKesson Corporation's preliminary financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, through an accompanying press release.

Where can I find the actual financial numbers for the quarter?

The specific financial details are not included directly in the 8-K form itself. You will need to refer to Exhibit 99.1, which is the press release issued by McKesson on August 3, 2020, for the detailed financial results and commentary.

What does it mean that the information is 'furnished' and not 'filed'?

When information is 'furnished' under an 8-K, it means it's being provided to the SEC, but it's not subject to the same liability provisions as 'filed' information (like under Section 18 of the Exchange Act). It also means it won't be automatically incorporated by reference into other SEC filings (like registration statements) unless McKesson specifically states that it should be.

Does this filing provide any updated guidance or outlook for the company?

This 8-K filing itself does not contain guidance. Any updated financial guidance or outlook for McKesson would have been provided in the press release (Exhibit 99.1) that is attached to this filing. Investors should carefully review that press release for any forward-looking statements or guidance.
