Why did they release this after hours?

> Why did they release this after hours? All earnings/major news releases are pre/after hours in order to reduce volatility on the news. Look at pre/after hours spikes of anyone (including MSFT) releasing earnings to see the effect earnings have on stock. Netflix yesterday was also a good example.
people always release earnings after hours.
