Terms and definitions

A quarter, abbreviated Q, is a three-month period that represents 25 percent of a fiscal year. This term is commonly used in the financial world, which splits up its calendar into four quarters, each three months long.^[1][2] Four quarters comprise the financial year. Public companies must report certain data on a quarterly basis, and other financial events are scheduled with the beginning and end of the quarter in mind.^[3]
