JPMorgan just announced first-quarter earnings results.

JPMorgan Chase announced first-quarter results Friday morning, posting earnings of $2.37 a share. Analysts had expected earnings of $2.28.

The beat was driven by gains across every key business line, with higher interest rates benefitting most of the bank's businesses. Here are the key numbers:

Revenue:
Adjusted net income:
Adjustments:
Consumer and community banking:
Corporate and investment banking:
Commercial banking:
Asset and wealth management:

"2018 is off to a good start with our businesses performing well across the board, driving strong top-line growth and building on the momentum from last year," JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said in a statement.

The fourth-quarter of 2017, by comparison, was noisy and uneven thanks in part to the new tax law, which caused many banks to book one-time losses on repatriated cash and deferred tax assets that declined in value.

JPMorgan took a $2.4 billion hit from the new law last quarter.
