Ampol (ASX:ALD) has declared an interim dividend of 95 AU cents per share.

The company has experienced an improvement in its Lytton Refiner Margin, which amounted to US$15.31 per barrel for the month of July.

Meanwhile, the company’s half-year revenue from ordinary activities increased by 6% to reach a total of A$18,446.6 million.

For operations excluding Lytton (F&I), the expectation is for continued benefits from ongoing growth in jet demand.

On the other hand, fuel margins for convenience retail softened during July.

However, a promising start to August has been observed for the Lytton Refiner Margin.

Capital expenditure is anticipated to focus on the second half, potentially reaching up to A$450 million.

Ampol is a major Australian fuel and convenience retailer.
