Story Continues.. after this ad because we need some dollarydoos



The Group's unaudited RCOP EBIT for the first half of the year is approximately $575 million, with RCOP EBITDA of approximately $800 million. This strong result is attributed to the significant earnings growth from the non-refining divisions compared to the same period last year. Fuels and Infrastructure, excluding Lytton, experienced double-digit growth in RCOP EBIT, reflecting improved margins and increased volumes. Convenience Retail earnings also grew, benefiting from strong shop performance and improved fuel margins. The Group's earnings were further boosted by the full six months contribution from Z Energy, which performed well despite extreme weather events in the first quarter.

Lytton Refinery Performance Update

The unaudited RCOP EBIT for Lytton refinery for the first half is approximately $100 million, with RCOP EBITDA of approximately $131 million. This performance reflects lower Singapore product cracks, higher operating expenses (mainly electricity costs), the impact of the Fluidised Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) outage, and losses incurred on the storage and export of intermediate products. The one-off FCCU outage also led to additional losses. However, gains in Trading and Shipping helped offset some of these challenges. The Lytton Refiner Margin (LRM) for the second quarter of the financial year was US$5. 66 per barrel, influenced by weak Singapore product cracks and the production of lower value finished products during the outage. Refinery production for the second quarter remained consistent with the first quarter.

Looking Ahead

Details of the audited financial results for the first half of 2023 will be provided at the 2023 First Half Results Release scheduled for 21 August 2023. Ampol Limited remains optimistic about its strong performance and continues to focus on maximising growth opportunities in the fuel and infrastructure sectors. The successful completion of the refinery repair will contribute to sustained financial stability and performance for the company in the coming months.

Intel’s been lagging behind for years, while AMD has pulled far ahead in both consumer and professional-grade chips, it’s really not a close race anymore.

There’s this idea floating around that throwing enough cash at Intel will suddenly turn them into the next TSMC. But semiconductor manufacturing isn’t something you can ...
Intel’s been lagging behind for years, while AMD has pulled far ahead in both consumer and professional-grade chips, it’s really not a close race anymore. There’s this idea floating around that throwing enough cash at Intel will suddenly turn them into the next TSMC. But semiconductor manufacturing isn’t something you can rush, it’s a complex, slow-moving process that takes years of precision and experience. Intel could recover some ground eventually, but framing them as the savior of American chipmaking feels more like a political talking point than a practical reality.

Looks like we're going through something, but who would have thought with all these tarrifs, inflation and trade wars going on

The spike in red reflects financial strain returning fast. Credit card delinquencies are rising too, hinting that lower-income consumers might be nearing a breaking point. What's going on...
