If there is a theme running through the 2010 edition, it may be “Less is more”. As in lower sales can still mean higher profits.

Fifteen of the top 25 food & beverage companies on this list recorded lower sales in 2009 (or an early fiscal 2010) than they did in the previous year. Yet 18 of those 25 had higher net earnings.

That’s not surprising when you consider that the recession hit a year earlier. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research the past recession began in December 2007, and it certainly was widely apparent early into 2008. That gave food & beverage processors the better part of a year or more to prepare for the worst.
