Despite a drop in revenue, Jamaican food and drink company Seprod managed to boost its profit by 16% in the second quarter of 2026. The company reported earnings of 688 million Jamaican dollars, equivalent to approximately US$4.3 million, for the period ending June 30. Seprod credited rigorous cost management for the profit growth, noting that even with lower sales, a larger portion of revenue remained as profit.
The company faced residual tourism disruption from Hurricane Melissa, which hit Jamaica as a Category 5 storm in late October 2025, potentially weakening tourism-related demand. However, Seprod's profit still increased despite this headwind. Revenue fell by about 3% during the three-month period, while net profit rose. The second quarter proved strong for Seprod, with solid financial results that highlight the effectiveness of disciplined expense management.
The company continues to navigate the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, but the positive profit growth sets a favorable tone for the future. Investors should note that Seprod's profit rose despite a decline in revenue, demonstrating resilience in a challenging economic environment.
