- The company’s statutory first-half profit swung to $1.4 billion, compared with a $25.3 million loss in H1 2025.
- Ampol credited the improvement to global crude and refined-product flow disruption caused by the Middle East conflict and to its supply sourcing, trading and refinery reliability.
- The board declared an interim dividend of $1.85 per share, up sharply from $0.40 a year earlier, reflecting stronger cash generation.
- Management warned markets remain volatile into the second half but said July earnings were ahead of the prior year, driven by strong refinery margins that could support near-term results and returns to shareholders.
