Summary
Viva Energy Group Limited's financial results for the year ending 31 December 2025 highlight a challenging period marked by decreased earnings despite strategic expansions and acquisitions. The company achieved significant milestones including the acquisition of Liberty Convenience and the opening of 35 new OTR stores. Financial performance saw a decline in EBITDA (RC) by 6.4% and NPAT (RC) by 27.8% compared to the previous year, attributed to the integration costs and lower fuel sales, although retail convenience trading showed resilience in the latter half of FY25. The company also reported a gearing ratio of ~3.0x, with strategic plans to reduce this to 2x by FY27. Despite the financial challenges, Viva Energy continued to invest in infrastructure, completing significant projects like Ultra Low Sulphur Gasoline production units, and refining its retail strategy to improve profitability in the upcoming years.
