Viva Energy completed its full acquisition of Liberty Convenience and opened 35 new OTR stores in 2025, expanding its retail footprint. The Group also upgraded its systems, implementing a new ERP platform to simplify operations and exit legacy Coles arrangements.
Operationally, the Geelong refinery benefited from the successful commissioning of the Ultra Low Sulphur Gasoline plant ahead of new regulatory requirements. During the year, the company refinanced its revolving credit facility, boosting liquidity.
What did Viva Energy Group management say?
CEO and Managing Director Scott Wyatt said:
I am pleased with the progress we have made on our strategic agenda and the results we delivered in the second half of the year of 2025. Earnings in this period were substantially up on both the first half and the same period last year. This reflected improved market conditions, the continued strength of our Commercial businesses, stronger refining margins in the 4QFY25, improved retail fuel margins, and a strengthening Convenience business as integration and consolidation progressed.
What’s next for Viva Energy Group?
Looking ahead, Viva Energy plans to complete its retail integration in FY26, targeting 40â60 new OTR store openings and improved supply chain efficiencies by exiting Coles product arrangements. With minor refinery maintenance planned and a shift to a more stable operational phase, the company expects to reduce its net debt-to-EBITDA ratio towards 2x by the end of 2027.
Management is also optimistic about sales and earnings momentum in FY26, supported by ongoing investment in its convenience, commercial and refinery businesses, and further benefits from recent integration.
