Quarter of the year. Basically, a season.

12 month year, 4 quarters, 3 month quarters. Typically split up "fall, winter, spring, summer".

Hope that helps.

Well apart from getting all the dates wrong Financial quarters usually start from April. This is why there is often confusion when a developer says they are releasing 4th quarter - it isn't always clear from the press release if they mean the 4th quarter of the calendar (Oct - Dec) or financial 4th quarter (Jan - Mar)
