The West In­di­an To­bac­co Com­pa­ny Lim­it­ed (WIT­CO) saw its prof­its take a hit for the nine months end­ed 30 Sep­tem­ber 2025, with prof­it be­fore tax falling 46 per cent to $82.9 mil­lion, down $70 mil­lion from the same pe­ri­od last year.

The cig­a­rette-man­u­fac­tur­ing com­pa­ny’s net prof­it dropped 44 per cent to $60.9 mil­lion, as it grap­pled with shift­ing con­sumer habits and the on­go­ing im­pact of il­lic­it trade.

Rev­enue came in at $332 mil­lion, mark­ing a 13 per cent year-on-year de­cline.
