Why is there no quarterly Financial Data?

Depending on the country, financial statements are published at different intervals. While American companies publish reports once a quarter, many European companies publish reports every six months or once a year.

If a company publishes a report every six months, then data on quarterly financial fields will be absent.

Below is a table of typical reporting frequency (for the countries where most companies adhere to a certain frequency):
