Ampol Limited (ASX: ALD) reported a strong performance for the first quarter of FY2026, driven by improved refining margins and steady demand across key markets. The Lytton Refiner Margin surged significantly, supported by tighter global supply conditions following geopolitical disruptions in the Middle East. Operationally, refinery production increased by 10% year-on-year, reflecting improved utilisation compared to the prior period. Fuel sales in Australia, excluding net-sell volumes, also recorded solid growth, indicating resilience in both retail and wholesale segments. While overall group sales volumes remained relatively stable, underlying business momentum was positive across domestic and international operations.
The company also strengthened its supply position by securing fuel and crude availability for the near term, ensuring continuity amid global uncertainty. Strategic decisions, including adjusting maintenance schedules and securing additional supply arrangements, further supported operations. Overall, Ampol’s integrated structure and proactive supply management have enabled it to maintain stability and capitalise on favourable market conditions.
