Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K is a Current Report filed by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. on February 20, 2009. The filing serves as a technical submission to test XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) formatting and technology in accordance with Rule 401 of Regulation S-T. It references financial data from the company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, which was originally filed on February 3, 2009.
Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not contain specific financial numbers such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. Instead, it lists the following documents as Exhibit 100, which contain the actual data in XBRL format:
- Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
- Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008.
- Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
The filing explicitly states that the financial information in the XBRL documents is unaudited and is not the official financial statement of the company as filed with the SEC.
Material Changes
The filing text does not provide data to analyze material changes versus prior periods. It acts solely as a container for the XBRL-formatted data referenced above.
