end results

What ultimately happens

End results are the final outcomes or ultimate consequences of a process, project, or series of actions.

The phrase is technically redundant—results are by nature what come at the end—but it emphasizes finality and completion: The end results of the experiment confirmed our hypothesis.

Often used when distinguishing ultimate outcomes from intermediate ones.
