Does this 8-K contain the actual financial numbers, or do I need to look elsewhere?

The 8-K filing itself primarily serves to announce the results and reference the press release. The detailed financial numbers, including revenue, earnings, and segment performance, are contained within the press release (Exhibit 99.1).

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

When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02 of Form 8-K, it generally means it is being provided to the SEC for informational purposes but does not carry the same legal liabilities as 'filed' information under Section 18 of the Exchange Act.
