PHH Corp.'s first-quarter earnings doubled as refinancing activity boosted revenue, the mortgage originator and fleet management company said Friday.

Net income soared to $30 million, or 55 cents per share, from $15 million, or 27 cents per share, in the year-ago period.

Revenue rose 8 percent to $642 million from $596 million last year. Mortgage closings rose 6 percent to $10 billion, as refinancings spiked 41 percent. Fleet management revenue fell slightly to $448 million.

PHH shares added 8 cents to $19.21 in morning trading.
