Quarterly Report & News Release
They are different because they do different jobs
The quarterly financial report of a public corporation is a very important
responsibility. A public company is subject to intense
scrutiny and regulation to protect the interest of those who invest or lend it money.
As a result, such companies are obliged to report every three months in a specific and very
detailed Quarterly Report to Shareholders.
Unfortunately, the weight of all this often comes crashing through again in the quarterly news
release. This can result in densely formal phrasing, specialist terminology, unremitting “legalese’ and
a stubborn attachment to miniscule detail.
There is possibly a place for all this, but it certainly isn’t in a financial news
release.
The problem is confusing the Quarterly Report with the Quarterly News Release.
The first is primarily a mandated and very
detailed document for participants; the second is a company performance summary for
everyone.
Get the news read!
Our writers know how to craft the quarterly news release in language so that it will
be read and understood.
Why is this important? Because a quarter press release -- like an annual report -- is a
chance to explain the company to ALL stakeholders and people you want to reach out to.
