 One Great Studio Company Limited (1GS) closed the six months ended June 30, 2026, with revenue of J$212 million, up 17% year-over-year (YOY), and net profit of J$24 million, a J$39 million improvement over the net loss of J$15 million recorded in the same period last year. 

The growth was driven by the company’s focused strategy on building its House of Agency Brands portfolio, with One Great Studio Agency leading at 20% year-over-year growth and individual brand revenue contributions ranging from 26% to 46% for the period. 

Revenue for the second quarter reached J$110 million, up 4.5% year-over-year, while net profit for the quarter was J$9 million, compared to a net loss of J$2 million in the corresponding period of 2025. “Every brand added to the growth, and having One Great Studio Agency lead the way shows the depth we’ve built across the portfolio. We’re excited to keep this momentum through the second half of the year,” said Djuvane Browne, CEO of 1GS. 

For the six-month period, gross profit grew 43% to J$83 million, and gross profit margin expanded from 32% to 39%. Operating Profit reached J$20 million for the period, compared to an Operating Loss of J$7 million a year earlier. Administrative and General Expenses were reduced to J$63 million, down 4% YOY, as the company contained costs even as revenues scaled. 

Operating Profit for the quarter ending June 30, 2026, increased to J$12 million from J$8 million, a 53% increase over the prior quarter. The period ended June 30, 2026, provides a clearer picture of what the underlying business is now delivering.

Liquidity Strengthens as Debt Falls Further

The company generated J$16 million in operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to an outflow of J$14 million in the same period of 2025. Cash and Short-Term Investments stood at J$154 million at quarter-end, up from J$142 million at December 31, 2025. Total debt fell 13% YOY to J$13 million, bringing the Debt-to-Equity ratio to 2.06%. As at June 30, 2026, total assets stood at J$701 million, shareholders’ equity was J$608 million, and total liabilities were J$93 million.

Browne shared, “Revenue is up, margins are up, and the team delivered that growth while keeping costs stable. Adding FarmHouse Creative right after we closed out the first half also tells you where our priority sits—growth by way of acquisition, capacity building, and doubling down on growing our existing brands—all with a view to becoming the Caribbean’s largest House of Agency Brands.”

Client Growth and a Fourth Brand for the Portfolio

1GS served 95 clients across its brands in the second quarter, up from 93 a year earlier, while average client spend rose to J$1.2 million from J$1.1 million, and retainer relationships accounted for 69% of Q2 revenue, up from 65% in Q2 2025.

On August 5, 2026, 1GS announced the acquisition of the business of FarmHouse Creative Marketing Ltd, a Jamaica-based creative agency founded by Vanessa Henderson and known for its strength in branding, creative direction, and social media. FarmHouse Creative is 1GS’s third acquisition, bringing its House of Agency Brands to four: One Great Studio, High Voltage Digital, DRT Communications, and FarmHouse Creative.

With six months of steady execution behind it and a fourth brand now part of the portfolio, 1GS enters the second half of 2026 focused on growing revenue across the Group and protecting the margin gains made in the first half.
