Where can I find the detailed financial results and outlook?

The detailed financial results and outlook are contained within the press release dated October 22, 2024, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this 8-K filing.

What is the significance of the information being 'furnished' and not 'filed'?

When information is furnished under Regulation FD (as indicated in this filing), it means the company is making the information public but it is not subject to the same legal liabilities under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as information that is formally 'filed'. This is a common practice for earnings press releases.

Will the information from this 8-K automatically be part of future Moody's SEC filings?

No, unless Moody's Corporation specifically incorporates it by reference into future filings, the information provided in this 8-K will not be automatically included in subsequent SEC submissions like 10-Q or 10-K reports.
