Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 10, 2021, Equifax Inc. furnished a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”) that included a press release disclosing financial results for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2020. This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Original 8-K solely for the purpose of correcting a clerical error which incorrectly referenced a local currency growth rate on page three under “2021 First Quarter and Full Year Guidance.”
The corrected sentence is as follows:
“We expect full year 2021 reported revenue to be between $4.350 and $4.450 billion, reflecting growth as compared to 2020 of 5.4% to 7.8%, with an expected 1.5% positive impact of foreign exchange.”
A copy of the text of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. The information in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Other than correction of the error discussed in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, no other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K or the press release furnished therewith.
