Generally, Q1 = January - March, Q2 = April - June, Q3 = July - September, Q4 = October - December.

Some companies bump all of them up a month, though (so Q1 if Feb-Apr, Q2 = May-Jul, etc.)

When talking about announcements, they follow Jan-Mar =qtr1 Apr-Jun = qtr2 and so forth.

However, a companies financial quarter/year may be way off. 1st qtr could end up being apr-jun for example.
