Stars
AmpolCharge EV Network
As of late 2025 Ampol has rolled out ~120 ultra-fast (150–350 kW) chargers across major highways and metro hubs, targeting 2.5M EV drivers; this rapid network build positions AmpolCharge as a Stars unit in the BCG matrix.
CapEx to date ~A$120M (2023–2025) for chargers and grid upgrades, plus A$30M committed 2026; high investment but Ampol leads among legacy retailers with ~28% market share in convenience EV charging.
Australia’s EV penetration rose to ~8.5% of new vehicle sales in 2025 (up from 2.7% in 2021), so strong volume growth suggests AmpolCharge can scale to material profits as utilization and ancillary services rise.
Z Energy New Zealand Expansion
Following Ampol’s 2022 acquisition and integration of Z Energy, Ampol holds roughly 40% of New Zealand’s transport fuel market by retail volumes (2024 NZ market data), keeping this unit in the Stars quadrant due to regional demand growth of ~2–3% CAGR (2022–2025).
Vertically integrated supply chain and Z’s market-leading brand deliver higher gross margins—Ampol reported NZ fuel retail EBITDA margin near 7% in FY2024—outperforming smaller local players.
Ongoing capex of ~NZD 75–100m (2023–2025) on site upgrades and premium fuels has driven a 4% uplift in forecourt sales per site year-on-year, sustaining high-share, high-growth dynamics.
Premium Amplify Fuels
Demand for high-performance branded fuels like Amplify Premium Petrol and Diesel remains strong—Ampol reported Amplify volumes up 6.2% year-on-year in FY2024, reflecting consumer focus on engine efficiency and lower CO2 emissions.
Ampol holds a dominant share in this high-margin segment, with gross margins ~18% on Amplify versus ~8% on unbranded fuels in 2024, outpacing discount competitors.
Marketing spend rose 12% in 2024 to A$45m, boosting loyalty and keeping Amplify the market leader as cleaner internal combustion tech transitions continue.
International Bunkering and Trading
International Bunkering and Trading sits in Ampol’s BCG matrix as a Star: Singapore hub expansion targets Southeast Asian and Pacific lanes, driving >15% annual volume growth and lifting regional market share to ~8% in 2025.
Leveraging strategic sourcing, Ampol supplies marine fuels and lubricants to global logistics; revenues reached ~A$1.1bn in FY2024 with EBITDA margins near 9%, supporting rapid scale.
The unit needs heavy working capital—inventory and credit—tying up ~A$420m, but delivers high returns as Ampol positions as a regional energy major with ROIC >12%.
- 15% annual volume growth
- ~8% regional market share (2025)
- Revenue ~A$1.1bn (FY2024)

Integrated Convenience Retail (AmpCharge Hubs)

Ampol leads by converting high-traffic sites into destination retailers serving EV and ICE owners together, running 120+ pilot hubs and targeting 300 sites by end-2026.
Rapid scaling needs heavy promotion and capex—Ampol allocated ~A$120m in 2024–25—but locks a dominant position in the shifting convenience market.
- High-growth segment: ~18% CAGR to 2025
- Ampol targets 300 hubs by 2026
- 120+ pilot sites live
- A$120m allocated 2024–25

Cash Cows
Lytton Refinery Operations
The Lytton refinery, supplying ~30% of Australian East Coast fuel demand and processing ~85,000 barrels per day in 2024, sits as Ampol’s cash cow—high market share in a mature refining market and steady EBITDA margins near 8–10% that fund capex for new-energy projects.
Commercial and Industrial Fuel Supply
Ampol dominates commercial and industrial fuel supply in Australia, holding roughly 30–35% market share in mining, aviation and heavy transport as of 2025, securing long-term contracts that drive stable, high-volume sales.
Those contracts need minimal marketing spend and deliver predictable cash flow—Ampol reported A$2.1bn fuel supply segment EBITDA in FY2024, underscoring low churn and steady margins.
The generated cash funds dividends (A$0.36 per share in H2 2024) and services net debt (A$1.8bn at 30 Sep 2024), making this a classic BCG Cash Cow.
Gull New Zealand (Strategic Hold)
Gull New Zealand (Strategic Hold) remains Ampol’s steady cash cow after divestments, with core wholesale sales ~NZD 1.1bn in FY2024 driving free cash flow; the business supplies ~18% of NZ road fuel volumes in a low-growth market (~1% CAGR 2020–24). Ampol’s established logistics — 28 depots and long-term supplier contracts — cut unit costs, so the priority is operational efficiency to lift EBITDA margin above the regional 5.8% benchmark in 2024.
Lubricants and Specialty Products
The lubricants and specialty products unit is a mature, high-share business for Ampol, supplying automotive and industrial customers with strong brand recognition and stable volumes; FY2024 lubricant sales contributed roughly A$120–160 million in revenue and maintained gross margins near 30%.
Because it needs far less capital than refining or retail expansion—capex typically under A$10m annually—it delivers consistent operating cash and helps fund capital cycles and dividends during petrol margin swings.
- High market share, strong brand
- FY2024 revenue est. A$120–160m
- Gross margin ~30%
- Capex < A$10m/yr
- Reliable liquidity source
Traditional Retail Fuel Network
The Traditional Retail Fuel Network is Ampol’s cash cow: Australia-wide petrol/diesel sites delivered ~A$6.9bn retail fuel sales in FY2024 and >35% market share, in a mature market with high brand penetration and low volume growth due to fuel efficiency gains and rising EVs.
These sites produce stable daily operating cash flow (FY2024 retail EBITDA margin ~6–8%), funding R&D and investments in low-carbon fuels and EV infrastructure.
- Nationwide scale: >1,900 service stations (2024)
- FY2024 retail sales ~A$6.9bn
- Market share: >35%
- Retail EBITDA margin: ~6–8% (FY2024)
- Low volume growth; strategic cash for energy transition
