Where can I find more detailed financial information beyond the headline numbers?

More detailed financial information, including a comparison of operational data by segment for the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, can be found in Exhibit 99.2 attached to the 8-K filing.

Is the information in this 8-K considered 'filed' for SEC purposes?

No, the information furnished in Item 2.02 and its associated exhibits (99.1 and 99.2) is not deemed 'filed' for the purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This means it is provided for informational purposes but does not carry the same legal implications as 'filed' information.

What is the significance of the 'Event date' and 'Filed' dates?

The 'Event date' (May 8, 2017) typically refers to the date the event (in this case, the earnings announcement) occurred or was determined. The 'Filed' date (May 8, 2017) is when the company officially submitted the 8-K filing to the SEC. In this instance, the press release was issued and posted on May 9, 2017, which is also reflected in the filing date.
