Where can I find the specific financial results for Phillips 66's third quarter of 2012?

The specific financial results are contained within the press release (Exhibit 99.1) and supplemental financial information (Exhibit 99.2) that are furnished with this 8-K filing. You will need to access these exhibits for the detailed performance data.

What is the significance of the information being 'furnished' rather than 'filed'?

When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02 of Form 8-K, it means the company is providing the information to the SEC for public dissemination but is not subject to the same liabilities and legal scrutiny as information that is 'filed' with the SEC under other sections of the Exchange Act. For investors, it means the disclosed information is intended to be accurate at the time of release, but the company's legal responsibility is somewhat different.

Does this 8-K filing contain any new strategic announcements or significant business updates?

This particular 8-K filing (Item 2.02) is focused solely on the announcement of financial and operating results. Any strategic announcements or major business updates would typically be found in other sections of an 8-K (e.g., Item 1.01 for material definitive agreements, Item 8.01 for other events of material importance) or in separate filings. Investors should review the press release and supplemental information for operational details related to the quarter.
