Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. is providing investors with its fiscal quarter and full-year results for the period ended December 31, 2025 through an earnings press release filed as Exhibit 99.1. The Form 8-K specifies this disclosure under Item 2.02, which typically covers results of operations and financial condition.

The company highlights that the press release uses non-GAAP financial measures and points investors to reconciliations against GAAP metrics in both the release and its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. This structure helps readers compare adjusted figures to standard accounting results, while keeping the 8-K itself relatively high level.

The actual revenue, earnings, and margin details are contained in Exhibit 99.1 and the related Form 10-K, so subsequent analysis will depend on those numbers and any trends they reveal across the quarter and full year.
