If you take those out, then our revenues increased by 15 per cent or $3.05 billion,” said Sagicor Group President and CEO Christopher Zacca.
Two of Sagicor’s four business segments posted lower profit: the employee insurance benefits line, down from $1.26 billion to $1 billion; and commercial banking, down from $364 million to $131 million due to loan loss provisions.
