The Ampol Ltd (ASX: ALD) share price is in focus after the company posted an 83% jump in RCOP NPAT to $429 million for FY 2025, alongside a fully franked final dividend of 60 cents per share.
What did Ampol report?
- Group RCOP EBITDA up 20% to $1.44 billion
- RCOP Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) rose 83% to $429 million
- Statutory NPAT of $82.4 million, down 33% year on year

What else do investors need to know?
Ampol made progress on several strategic priorities, including continuing to work towards its proposed acquisition of EG Australia, with completion expected mid-year subject to regulatory approval. The sale of interests in Channel Infrastructure and a divestment from electricity retailing have bolstered the company’s balance sheet.
In Convenience Retail, network shop sales (excluding tobacco and U-GO conversions) grew 2.8%, supported by higher margins from the QSR, beverages, and bakery categories. Ampol continued to shift away from tobacco, which now represents a smaller share of overall sales and margins.
The Fuels and Infrastructure segment benefited from a strong rebound in Lytton refinery performance, with production up to 5.5 billion litres for the year and significantly improved refining margins compared to FY 2024.
What did Ampol management say?
Managing Director and CEO Matt Halliday said:
The financial performance in 2025 is a high quality and broad-based result that reflects the steps taken in recent years to strengthen our delivery and increase our exposure to the more stable and growing business segments. The 5-year compound annual growth rate of the combined EBIT from these businesses is about 11 per cent including the contribution through the acquisition of Z Energy.
What’s next for Ampol?
Ampol enters 2026 with positive momentum, especially in Convenience Retail and New Zealand, thanks to continued store execution and favourable retail margins. The company is engaging with government on the Fuel Security Services Payment review and advancing expansion projects such as the Ultra Low Sulfur Fuels project, which is targeted to commence commissioning in the second quarter.
The proposed EG Australia acquisition remains a strategic focus, with the competition regulator’s decision expected in June 2026. Ampol is confident in its ability to deliver on its investment and growth goals, leveraging its strong retail platforms and integrated supply chain.
