Summary
Ampol Limited reported strong earnings growth for the first half of the 2026 financial year, underpinned by a resilient supply chain that withstood disruptions caused by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Despite challenges, Ampol’s integrated supply chain remained robust, enabling the company to maintain fuel supplies to Australia and New Zealand. The Lytton refinery operated at maximum capacity, benefitting from high global diesel, jet, and gasoline prices. The company's unaudited Group Replacement Cost Operating Profit (RCOP) EBITDA reached approximately $1,600 million, with RCOP EBIT at $1,350 million, reflecting substantial increases compared to the previous year. Ampol also completed the acquisition of EG Australia, although it did not contribute to the first half earnings. The company continued to secure additional refined fuels to bolster inventories amid global supply challenges.
