Where can I find the detailed financial results for the first quarter?

The detailed financial results are not included directly in the 8-K filing itself. Investors should refer to Exhibit 99.1 (Press Release) and Exhibit 99.2 (Financial Presentation) which are furnished with this 8-K for the complete financial details for the quarter ended April 30, 2022.

Does this 8-K filing contain actual financial numbers?

No, this 8-K filing primarily serves to announce that the financial results and presentation will be made public. The specific financial figures, such as revenue, net income, and EPS, are contained within the accompanying press release and financial presentation (Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2).

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

When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02 of an 8-K, it means it is being provided to the SEC but is not deemed 'filed' for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act. This typically means the company is not subject to the liabilities associated with Section 18 for that specific information, although it is still publicly disclosed.
