EARNINGS

Primerica Corp.: The New York-based financial services company said third-quarter income more than doubled to $78.3 million from $33.1 million a year ago. Revenue was also up sharply, to $1.5 billion from $244.9 million. The company said results from this year and last are not directly comparable as current results reflect the merged operations of Primerica and Commercial Credit Group Inc., while 1988 results reflect only Commercial Credit operations.
