Refined fuel retailer Viva Energy reported a fivefold increase in first-half 2026 underlying NPAT to AUD 371 million. Underlying EBITDA more than doubled to AUD 773 million. The refining result, boosted by the Middle East conflict, is the strongest since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Viva boasts significant refined fuel distribution, supplying around 30% of Australia's national requirement; second only to Ampol.
As technology improves, highly fuel-efficient vehicles, electric vehicles, and other alternative fuel vehicles will further detract from retail fuel demand.
