Revenue was $1.122bn, up from $1.096bn the previous year.
Excluding restructuring and restructuring related adjustments, net income was $10m, compared with $12m a year ago.
EBIT (earnings before interest, taxes and minority interest) was $45m, down from $50m a year ago.
Tenneco attributed the decline in its results to production declines in the US and higher steel costs, but said it managed to offset some of this by cutting costs, improving manufacturing efficiency and flex down operations as volumes declined. Further decline was offset by strong growth in its Europe, South America and India.
