typically the fourth quarter, is October, November and December. For financial reporting, a company year is broken down into four quarters, 1st 3 months, 2nd three months, etc. However, some company's year end does not fall on December 31st. So the fourth quarter could be different. Basically it is the last three months of a companies fiscal year. If year end for XYZ Co is March 31st, it's fourth quarter is Jan, Feb, and March.
Although if you are talking football, the fourth quarter is the last segment of the game, the game being broken up into 4 timed periods!! Hope this helps.

For the calendar year? October through December. However, corporations are allowed to pick their own fiscal years. This means that their tax years can start in any month of the year. For them, the fourth quarter will be the last three months of their fiscal year. For example, the US Government's fiscal year starts on July 1 -- so April-June make up its fourth quarter.

The fourth quarter is the last 3 months of any given 1 year plan such as fiscal year versus a regular year which is October thru December.
