Among the earnings stories for Friday, May 9, from AP Financial News:

HOUSTON (AP) _ National restaurant, hotel and casino company Landry's Restaurants Inc. said Friday its first-quarter profit dropped 93 percent, hurt by an increase in interest expense and a loss from discontinued operations.

VAN NUYS, Calif. (AP) _ Aluminum wheel supplier Superior Industries International Inc. said Friday its first-quarter profit rose 55 percent as lower expenses offset weaker sales.

NEW YORK (AP) _ Drug maker Warner Chilcott Ltd. said Friday it swung to a first-quarter profit on a mix of lower costs and higher sales of several key drugs, including the contraceptive Loestrin 24 FE and plaque psoriasis medication Taclonex.

RUTLAND, Vt. (AP) _ Central Vermont Public Service Corp. said Friday that first-quarter earnings grew nearly 4 percent as the electric utility's resale revenue offset a slight decline in retail revenue.
