are fourth quarter (10-Q) SEC filings along with annual filings?

Question

Just curious is companies' SEC 4th quarter filings are simply tied in with their annual report.

Answer 1

That Depends. A company can file its 10-Q and its 10-K at the same time, but they don't have to as long as both are received by their required due dates. Also if a company does not use a calendar fiscal year, say October, then the 10-K would be due well before the 4th quarter 10-Q.
