Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report) 10-Q
A 10-Q is the quarterly financial report US public companies file with the SEC for each of the first three fiscal quarters.
What it is
Form 10-Q is the SEC quarterly report covering a US company's financial results for a three-month period. It contains condensed financial statements and an updated MD&A, but the figures are unaudited (reviewed, not fully audited, by the company's accountants). Companies file three 10-Qs per year; the fourth quarter is rolled into the annual 10-K.
Why it matters
The 10-Q gives investors a timely view of how a company is trending between annual reports, including revenue, margins, and any new risks. Because the statements are unaudited, they can be restated later, so figures carry slightly less certainty than 10-K numbers. Comparing the same quarter year-over-year (not just sequentially) helps strip out seasonality.
How it's calculated
Not a calculated metric; it is a regulatory filing. It is generally due within 40 days of quarter-end for large accelerated and accelerated filers, and within 45 days for non-accelerated and smaller reporting companies.
