Lear Corp.’s first-quarter revenue rose 8% to $4.7 billion, and net income zoomed to $248 million from $147 million in the same period last year. Pretax earnings jumped to $344 million from $206 million.
Sales by the company's automotive seating business grew 3% to $3.6 billion, adjusted for foreign exchange. Revenue from the electrical division advanced 2% to an adjusted $1.1 billion.
Lear reiterates its full-year sales forecast of $18.5 billion-$19 billion. But the company has increased its core operating earnings estimate by $50 million to at least $1.4 billion.
