one simple way using temp table and 2 steps:
CREATE TEMP TABLE foo AS
SELECT branch_id,
prod_cat_id,
sum(prod_profit) as prod_cat_profit
FROM () as b1
WHERE x = y
GROUP BY branch, prod_cat_id;
SELECT branch_id,
prod_cat_id,
prod_cat_profit,
branch_total
FROM foo as foo1
JOIN
(SELECT branch_id,
sum(prod_cat_profit) as branch_total
FROM foo
GROUP BY branch_id
) as foo2 USING branch_id;
(untested)
