Coca-Cola on Tuesday posted quarterly earnings that met expectations and sales that topped estimates, as higher pries helped the beverage maker overcome a volume decline in North America.

Here’s what the company reported compared with what Wall Street was expecting, based on a survey of analysts by LSEG, formerly known as Refinitiv:

Earnings per share: 49 cents adjusted vs. 49 cents expected
Revenue: $10.85 billion vs. $10.68 billion expected

Shares of the company rose less than 1% in premarket trading.
