Comments update
 Strong recovery in Group RCOP EBIT of $339.8 million (1H 2020: $221.4 million) due to improved Lytton refinery earnings,
including the benefit of the Temporary Refining Production Payment (TRPP) of $40.0 million and successful execution of the
International and Convenience Retail EBIT uplift initiatives.
 HCOP NPAT attributable to members of the parent of $325.5 million compared to a loss of $626.2 in the first half of 2020. The
result reflects an improved RCOP NPAT, inventory gains of $139.2 million and a material reduction in significant items to $18.2
million.
 Net borrowings(iv) at 30 June 2021 were $734.8 million compared to $433.9 million at 31 December 2020, supported by,
operating cashflows and inventory gains from a favourable crude oil price, offset by shareholder returns including the $300.4
million Off-market Buy-back and ordinary dividends.
 Reflecting this performance, the Company declared an interim dividend of 52 cps, representing a 61% pay out of its RCOP
NPAT and a 108% increase from the prior year interim dividend.

(i) Statutory basis financial information is referred to throughout this document as Historical Cost Basis or “HCOP”.
(ii) Replacement cost of sales operating profit (RCOP) excluding significant items (on a pre-tax and post-tax basis) is a non-International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) measure and is unaudited. It is derived from the statutory profit adjusted for inventory (gains)/losses, as management believes this presents a
clearer picture of the Company’s underlying business performance and is consistent with the basis of reporting commonly used within the global oil industry.
RCOP excludes the unintended impact of the fall or rise in oil and product prices (key external factors). It is calculated by restating the cost of sales using the
replacement cost of goods sold rather than the historical cost, including the effect of contract-based revenue lags. Refer to note B4 in the Half Year Financial
Statements for a reconciliation of Statutory Profit to Replacement Cost basis profit.
(iii) There is no conduit foreign income component distributed in relation to the dividend. There is no Dividend Reinvestment Plan in operation.
(iv) Net borrowings is a non-statutory measure calculated as total interest-bearing liabilities (excluding liabilities arising under AASB 16 Leases) less cash and cash
equivalents.

Operating and financial review


The purpose of the operating and financial review (OFR) is to enhance the periodic financial reporting and provide shareholders
with additional information regarding the Group’s operations, financial position, business strategies and prospects. The review
complements the Financial Report on pages 19 to 39.
The OFR may contain forward-looking statements. These statements are by their nature estimates based solely on the information
available at the time of this report, and there can be no certainty of outcome in relation to the matters to which the statements relate.

Company overview
Ampol is an independent Australian company and the nation’s leader in transport fuels.
We supply the country’s largest branded petrol and convenience network as well as refining, importing and marketing fuels and
lubricants. We have a deep history spanning over 120 years, having grown to become the largest transport fuels company and is

Ampol supplies fuel to around 80,000 customers in diverse markets across the Australian economy, including defence, mining,

Group Strategy
Ampol’s strategy is focused around three elements underpinned by our market-leading position in transport fuels, strategic assets,

privileged assets, supply chain expertise and deep customer relationships mean we are uniquely placed to be part of the
decarbonisation solution by enabling an orderly energy transition and capitalising on opportunities that can deliver sustainable

Ampol results 30 June 2021
On an historical cost profit basis, Ampol recorded an after-tax profit attributable to equity holders of the parent entity of $325.5
million, including a significant items loss of $18.2 million and a product and crude oil inventory gain of $139.2 million after tax. This
compares favourably to the 2020 half year after-tax loss of $626.2 million, which included a significant items loss of $311.9 million
and a product and crude oil inventory loss of $434.4 million after tax.
Replacement cost of sales operating profit (RCOP) excluding significant items (on a pre-tax and post-tax basis) is a non-
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) measure and is unaudited. It is derived from the statutory profit adjusted for
inventory (gains)/losses, as management believes this presents a clearer picture of the Company’s underlying business
performance and is consistent with the basis of reporting commonly used within the global oil industry. RCOP excludes the
unintended impact of the fall or rise in oil and product prices (key external factors). It is calculated by restating the cost of sales
using the replacement cost of goods sold rather than the historical cost, including the effect of contract-based revenue lags. Refer to
note B4 in the Half Year Financial Statements for a reconciliation of Statutory Profit to Replacement Cost basis profit.

A reconciliation of the RCOP result to the statutory HCOP result is set out in the following table:

Discussion and analysis – Income statement


1. Total revenue and Total revenue increased due to an 11% increase in total sales volumes (11.1 BL) compared to 1H
other income 2020 (9.9 BL). Australian Dollar product prices are also on average 22% higher than 1H 2020.
▲ 22% Higher product prices in 1H 2021 were driven by a higher weighted average Dated Brent crude oil
price (1H 2021: US$65/bbl vs 1H 2020: US$40/bbl).
Other income increased due to the benefit of the Lytton refinery Temporary Refinery Production
Program of $40.0 million (1H 2020: $nil) and COVID-19 government wage support of $0.6 million
(1H 2020: $2.1 million) received from Australia, New Zealand and Singapore government
programs.
2. Total expenses – Total expenses increased primarily as a result of higher replacement cost of goods sold, driven by
replacement the same components noted above for fuel revenue offset by expenses in half year 2020 of
cost basis $364.8m comprising of Lytton refinery impairment ($80.0 million), Convenience Retail impairment
▲ 22% ($233.0 million), fixed asset write off components ($41.8 million) and net loss on disposals of
property, plant and equipment ($10.0 million) not repeated in half year 2021.

(i) Excludes significant item loss of $26.0 million (1H 2020: $445.6 million loss) and inventory gain of $198.9 million (1H 2020: $620.6 million inventory loss).
(ii) Excludes tax expense on inventory gain of $59.7 million (1H 2020: $186.2 million tax benefit) and tax benefit on significant items loss of $7.8 million (1H
2020: $133.7 million).
(iii) Statutory basis financial information is referred to throughout this document as Historical Cost Basis or “HCOP”.

Discussion and analysis – Income statement

3. Net finance costs Net finance costs decreased by $4.5 million compared with 1H 2020 mainly as a result of unwinding
▼ 8% of discounting of the provision balances partially offset by incremental interest expense on
subordinated notes issued in December 2020.

4. Significant items loss The significant item loss before tax of $26.0 million (1H 2020: $445.6 million) and after tax of $18.2
after tax million (1H 2020: $311.9 million) relates to:
$18.2 million
Ampol rebranding expense

The Group has recognised an expense of $26.6 million (1H 2020: $56.9 million) relating to the
rebranding program currently being undertaken to remove Caltex signage and install Ampol
branding at the Group’s sites. Current period costs include accelerated depreciation $5.8 million (1H
2020: $6.6 million) and other operating expenses $20.8 million (1H 2020: $4.3 million). In the period
ended 30 June 2020, a provision of $46.0 million was also recognised in relation to the contractual
obligation to undertake rebranding work at sites owned by a third party, to be completed before 31
December 2022.

Other income
Other income includes COVID-19 government wage support of $0.6 million (1H 2020: $2.1 million)
received from Australia, New Zealand and Singapore government programs.

Significant items tax benefit


Significant items tax benefit of $7.8 million (1H 2020: $133.7 million) represents tax at the Australian
corporate tax rate of 30% on significant items before tax.

5. Inventory gain There was an inventory gain of $139.2 million after tax ($198.9 million before tax) in the first half of
after tax 2021. Ampol holds crude and product inventory, the price of which varies due to fluctuations in the
$139.2 million product price and foreign exchange movements. The price at which inventory was purchased often
varies from the current market prices at the time of sale. This creates an inventory gain or loss at
the time of sale.

Discussion and analysis – Income statement RCOP EBIT breakdown(i)

Fuels and Infrastructure EBIT $208.2m


Fuels and Infrastructure EBIT consists of the segment’s earnings from trading, shipping, refining and
distribution of bulk fuels across international markets, including Gull, and internal sales to
Convenience Retail.
Total Australian fuel sales volumes were 6.5BL in 1H 2021, 6% lower than the 7.0BL in 1H 2020, as
net wholesale supply sales in Brisbane declined due to competitor supply chain decisions and jet fuel
sales declined due to the full half impact of COVID-19 border restrictions. International sales volumes
increased by more than 50% versus the prior comparable period due to Gull and Seaoil expanding
their retail networks, expansion to new customers in the Pacific region and the benefit of the Houston
Trading and Shipping office operations.
Fuels and Infrastructure delivered an EBIT result of $208.2 million, an increase of $95.9 million or
85% compared to 1H 2020 $112.3 million. The improvement in performance was largely a result of
the resumption of production at the Lytton refinery and the benefit of the Temporary Refining
Production Payment (TRPP) government assistance of $40.0 million.
Fuels and Infrastructure EBIT (excluding Lytton refinery) was $158.9 million, which is a decrease of
$10.8 million compared to 1H 2020. The result declined as the elevated imported volumes during the
extended Lytton Turnaround & Inspection (T&I) in 2020 were replaced by the Lytton refinery
production the profit from which is excluded from these earnings. Successful execution of the
International growth strategy saw Fuels and Infrastructure International RCOP EBIT grow to $59.6
million, up 15% compared to 1H 2020. The 1H 2020 result also includes $24.6 million of foreign
exchange gains compared with $29.0 million from the prior comparable period.
Lytton refinery delivered a RCOP EBIT result of $49.3 million, including the benefit of $40.0 million
from the Federal Government’s once-off TRPP. 1H 2021 Lytton RCOP EBIT was up $107.9 million
compared to 1H 2020 RCOP EBIT loss of $58.6 million.

Convenience Retail EBIT $149.4m


Convenience Retail RCOP EBIT consists of earnings from fuel and shop products at Ampol
convenience stores.
Convenience Retail delivered an RCOP EBIT result of $149.4 million, which is up 20% compared to
1H 2020. Retail fuel earnings were supported by improved petrol and diesel volumes in April and
May as lockdown restrictions lifted. Shop performance improved from the prior comparable period
due to increased consumer mobility and execution of site improvement plans. These combined
improvements helped to counter reduced diesel margins compared to 1H 2020, which resulted from
lags in diesel price adjustments in response to volatility in crude input costs in both periods. This
benefited 1H 2020 and adversely impacted 1H 2021.
Shop performed strongly during the period, with a 6.3% increase in like-for-like shop sales and a
clear focus on cost management.

Corporate EBIT ($17.8m)


Corporate operating expenses increased by $1.9 million compared to 1H 2020, largely due to the
reinstatement of employee incentives as earnings have improved.

RCOP EBIT excluding significant items $339.8m

to statutory accounts.

4. Interest-bearing Interest-bearing liabilities relates to net borrowings ($734.8 million) and lease liabilities ($981.8

Directors’ Report continued

Operating and financial review continued


Cash flows continued

Discussion and analysis – Cash flows

1. Net operating Net operating cash inflows were higher and primarily driven by improved earnings arising from the
cash inflows increase in sales prices and volumes in 1H 2021 compared to 1H 2020. This resulted in an increase
in receipts from customers ($700.5 million), offset partially by an increase in payments to suppliers
▲$274.1m ($427.0 million).  

2. Net investing Investing cash flows represent capital expenditure for property, plant and equipment, Lytton T&I, and
cash outflows purchase of intangibles. The decrease is primarily due to the reduction in major cyclical maintenance
▼ $2.5m at the Lytton refinery ($24.2 million) offset partially by an increase in capital expenditure on property,
plant and equipment ($15.5 million) and intangible assets ($6.1 million).

3. Net financing Financing cashflows primarily include an equal and offsetting repayment and drawdown of
cash outflows borrowings ($3,198 million), dividend payment ($54.8 million), repayment of lease principal ($51.2
▼ $571.5m million) and a $300.4 million off-market buy-back purchase which was completed in February 2021.

Capital expenditure
Capital expenditure totalled $84.9 million, including T&I spend at the Lytton refinery of $5.7 million and $9.8 million in intangible
software.
Market conditions and outlook(i)
Since the end of the first half, COVID-19 lockdowns, including the ongoing prolonged lockdown of Greater Sydney, have impacted
fuel demand and shop performance. Convenience Retail fuel volumes were down 15% in July 2021 and down 18% in August to 15
August 2021 versus the prior corresponding period. Gasoline demand has been most impacted, with diesel remaining more
resilient. Australian wholesale volumes have performed well, up 2% in July 2021 compared to the same time last year. Uncertainty
on the timing of when restrictions will ease is making forecasting full year Australian volumes difficult. Current run rate suggests
Australian volumes will be below the previous guidance range of 13.5 to 14.0 billion litres.
Changes in consumer behaviour are reversing the good momentum from the first half with shop sales down 16% in July 2021 and
17% in August to 15 August 2021, versus the same time last year.
Looking beyond current lockdowns, the market has shown that demand and sales recover quickly when restrictions ease and there
are signs that retail margins are providing a partial offset to the volume weakness.
Vaccination rates and the resultant easing of COVID-19 restrictions and continued execution of our strategies should provide
positive earnings momentum. Combined with Ampol’s significant operating leverage, this means we are well placed to benefit from
the recovery when it occurs, supporting a positive medium-term outlook.
Ampol remains on track to deliver $195(ii) million EBIT uplift by 2024, from our Convenience Retail and Fuels and Infrastructure
International EBIT growth strategies.
We will also continue to build foundations for the orderly energy transition by working with our customers, focusing on a targeted set
of energy and decarbonisation themes. This includes our plan to roll out fast charging bays to ~100 sites across our national retail
network by September 2023, with the support of an ARENA Future Fuels Fund grant.

(i) Current market conditions remain challenging with ongoing lockdowns and community transmission of COVID-19. All forward looking statements are
provided on the basis that the vaccination roll out continues and COVID-19 restrictions ease towards the end of 2021.
(ii) EBIT uplift on a base of 2019, from Convenience Retail shop contribution, Fuels and Infrastructure and $40.0 million cost-out delivered in 2020.

Z Energy Limited
On 23 August 2021 the Group announced that it had made a
non-binding indicative offer to acquire Z Energy Limited (“Z”),
a fuel distribution and retailing company which is listed on
the New Zealand Stock Exchange. The Group made a cash
offer of NZ$3.78 per share with an estimated transaction
(equity) value of approximately NZ$2.0bn, which equates to
an Enterprise Value of NZ$2.8bn (inclusive of net debt). The
Group will commence a four week period of exclusivity
during which it will conduct confirmatory due diligence and
further develop its proposal. The proposal is subject to a
unanimous Board recommendation, agreement of binding
transaction documents, as well as the approval of Z
shareholders, NZ High Court and relevant regulatory
authorities. The Group expects the acquisition to be funded
through a mix of debt, proceeds from divestments and
approximately $600m in equity. It is anticipated that any
transaction would complete in the first half of 2022.
Other
There were no other items, transactions or events of a
material or unusual nature that, in the opinion of the Board,
are likely to significantly affect the operations of the Group,
the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the
Group that have arisen in the period from 30 June 2021 to
the date of this report.
Rounding of amounts
Amounts in the half year 2021 Directors’ Report and half
year 2021 Financial Report have been rounded off to the
nearest hundred thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated,
in accordance with ASIC Corporations Instrument (Rounding
in Financial/Directors’ Report) 2016/191. Ampol is an entity
to which the instrument applies.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Half-year Financial Report

The Directors of the Company are responsible for:


• the preparation of the Half-year Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with
Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
• such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
Half-year Financial Report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Half-year Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Half-year Financial Report based on our review.
ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us
believe that the Half-year Financial Report does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including
giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and its performance for
the Half-Year ended on that date, and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134
Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
A review of a Half-year Financial Report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible
for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards
and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all
significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit
opinion.

Notes to the Financial Statements


A Overview
FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

A1 Reporting entity
Ampol Limited (“Ampol” or the “Company”) is a for-profit company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Consolidated
Interim Financial Report for the six months ended 30 June 2021 comprises the Company and its controlled entities (together
referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interest in associates and jointly controlled entities. The Group is primarily involved in
the purchase, refining, distribution and marketing of petroleum products and the operation of convenience stores as described in
note B3.1.
A2 Basis of preparation
The Interim Financial Report was approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 23 August 2021. It does not
contain all the information that is included in the full annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2020. These can be obtained by visiting https://www.ampol.com.au/about-
ampol/investor-centre/annual-reports.
The Interim Financial Report is a general-purpose financial report which has been prepared;
 in accordance with AASB 134 “Interim Financial Reporting” and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth);
 on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments and other financial assets and liabilities that are measured
at fair value; and
 on a going concern basis (detailed information relating to the assessment of going concern can be found in Note C1); and
 in Australian dollars together with the Directors’ Report and is rounded to the nearest hundred thousand dollars in accordance
with ASIC’s Instrument 2016/191, unless stated otherwise.
A3 Use of judgement and estimates
Except as described below in note A4, the accounting judgements and estimates applied by the Group in these interim financial
statements are the same as those applied in its financial statements for the full year ended 31 December 2020. Specific
judgements, estimates and assumptions made in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic are disclosed in notes B3.3, C1 and E5 to the
interim financial statements.
A4 Significant accounting policies
The interim Financial Report does not early adopt any Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have been issued or amended
but are not yet effective. Except as described in this note, the accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are
consistent with those applied as at 31 December 2020 and have been consistently applied by each entity in the Group.
Government grants
The introduction of the Temporary Refinery Production Package in 2021 has led to a government grant entitlement. Consequently,
the accounting treatment applied to government grants, AASB 120 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of
Government Assistance, is now considered a significant accounting policy of the Group.
The Group recognises grants only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with any conditions attached to
the grant and that the grant will be received. The grant is recognised as income, on a systemic basis, over the period in which the
related costs or revenue shortfall, for which they are intended to compensate, are recognised. The Group presents government
grants separately in ‘other income’.
Cloud computing arrangements
In April 2021, the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) issued a final agenda decision,
“Configuration or Customisation Costs in a Cloud Computing Arrangement”. The decision clarifies whether configuration or
customisation expenditure relating to cloud computing arrangements can be recognised as an intangible asset, and if not, over what
time period the expenditure should be expensed.
The adoption of this IFRIC agenda decision is a change in accounting policy. This may result in the restatement of, and an
adjustment to, the opening retained earnings of the comparative reporting period.
Historically, the Group’s accounting policy has been to capitalise costs related to cloud computing configuration and customisation
as software intangible assets in the Balance Sheet ($101.6 million). Consequently, the Group has not yet adopted this IFRIC
agenda decision. Management has commenced a detailed review of capitalised software costs. However, for the six months ended
30 June 2021, the impact of the change is not expected to be reasonably estimable before the signing of the Interim Financial
Report.
Comparatives
Where applicable, various comparative balances have been reclassified to align with current period presentation.
Employee benefits
Historically, the Group has classified long service leave as either current or non-current based on the amounts which are expected
to be settled within 12 months and those expected to be settled beyond the next 12 months. In the current period the Group has
presented the current and non-current portions based on the legal obligation that the Group has for services performed up to the
balance date. The non-current portion has been measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect
of services provided by employees up to period end in accordance with AASB 119 Employee Benefits. Accordingly, the comparative
information presented for 31 December 2020 has been reclassified to align with current period presentation resulting in an increase
in current provisions and a corresponding decrease in non-current provisions of $33.8 million.

Group’s underlying business performance as it is consistent with the basis of reporting commonly used within the global downstream oil industry. RCOP
excludes the unintended impact of the fall or rise in oil and product prices (key external factors). It is calculated by restating the cost of sales using the
replacement cost of goods sold rather than the historical cost, including the effect of contract-based revenue lags.

RCOP after tax and excluding significant items – basic 85.2 47.5

RCOP after tax and excluding significant items – diluted 85.1 47.5

Calculation of earnings per share


Basic historical earnings per share is calculated as the net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent entity divided by
the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the half year ended 30 June 2021.
Diluted historical cost earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent entity divided
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares which has been adjusted to reflect the number of shares that would be issued if
all outstanding rights and restricted shares were exercised. When the Company has made a loss, basic and diluted earnings per
share are calculated using the same weighted average number of ordinary shares and excludes all outstanding rights and restricted
shares on issue as to include them in the calculation of diluted earnings per share would result in a lower loss per share.
Earnings per share has been disclosed for both the historical cost net profit as well as the RCOP segment method of reporting net
profit. The RCOP segment method adjusts statutory profit for significant items and inventory gains and losses. A reconciliation
between historical cost net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent entity and RCOP after tax and excluding
significant items is included below.

to the fair value hedge of the $300.0 million Australian Medium-Term Notes (less borrowing costs of $1.2 million (2020: $1.3 million)).
(iii) Subordinated notes were issued on 9 December 2020 and are unlisted. They are denominated in Australian dollars. The Notes have a maturity
date of 9 December 2080, with the first optional redemption date on 9 March 2026 totalling $500.0 million (less borrowing costs of $5.9 million
(2020: $6.7 million)).

C1.2 Capital management


The Group’s primary objective when managing capital is to safeguard the ability to continue as a going concern, while delivering on
strategic objectives.

The Group’s Financial Framework is designed to support the strategic objective of sustainably delivering value and growth for our
owners, people and customers. The framework’s key elements are to:

(i) maintain an optimal capital structure that delivers a competitive cost of capital by holding a level of net debt (including
lease liabilities) relative to EBITDA that is consistent with strong investment-grade credit rating;

(ii) deliver Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) that exceeds the weighted average cost of capital; and

(iii) make disciplined capital allocation decisions between investments, debt reduction and distribution of surplus capital to
shareholders.

The Group’s gearing ratio is calculated as net borrowings divided by total capital. Net borrowings is a non-statutory measure
calculated as total interest-bearing liabilities (excluding liabilities arising under AASB 16 Leases; refer to note C1.1) less cash and
cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as equity as shown in the balance sheet plus net debt.

C1.3 Liquidity risk


Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Due to the dynamic nature of
the underlying business, the liquidity risk policy requires maintaining sufficient cash and an adequate amount of committed credit
facilities to be held above the forecast requirements of the business. The Group manages liquidity risk centrally by monitoring cash
flow forecasts and maintaining adequate cash reserves and debt facilities. The debt portfolio is periodically reviewed to ensure there
is funding flexibility across an appropriate maturity profile.
The debt facility maturity profile of the Group as at 30 June 2021 is as follows:

30 June 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 Funds Drawn Undrawn

million (2020: $493.3 million).

The Group maintains a strong balance sheet and liquidity position by accessing diversified funding sources made up of committed
bank debt facilities and bonds, with a weighted average debt maturity profile of 3.4 years.
The total available funds for the half year period 30 June 2021 was $2,797.9 million (2020: $2,940.5 million), with $1,997.9 million
(2020: $2,140.5 million) in undrawn committed bank debt facilities.

C2 Fair value of financial assets and liabilities


The Group’s accounting policies and disclosures may require the measurement of fair values for both financial and non-financial
assets and liabilities. The Group has an established framework for fair value measurement. When measuring the fair value of an
asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data where available.
Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the following valuation techniques:
 Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as
prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
 Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability are categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then
the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is
significant to the entire measurement.
The fair value of cash, cash equivalents and non-interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities approximates their carrying value
due to their short maturity.

won the right to lease and redevelop four existing highway service centres located on the M4 Motorway at Eastern Creek and on
the M31 Hume Highway at Pheasants Nest. The estimated redevelopment capital expenditure of ~$100 million is expected to be
contracted and spent during the second half of 2021 and 2022. DA approval has not yet been granted as at 30 June 2021.
Contingent liabilities
Discussed below are items where either it is not probable that the Group will have to make future payments or the amounts of the
future payments are not able to be measured.
Legal and other claims
In the ordinary course of business, the Group is involved as a plaintiff or defendant in legal proceedings. Where appropriate, Ampol
takes legal advice. The Group does not consider that the outcome of any current proceedings is likely to have a material effect on
its operations or financial position.
A liability has been recognised for any known losses expected to be incurred where such losses are capable of reliable
measurement.
Bank guarantees
The Group has entered into letters of credit in the normal course of business to support crude and product purchase commitments
and other arrangements entered into with third parties. In addition, the Group has granted indemnities to banks to cover bank
guarantees given on behalf of controlled entities. The probability of having to make a payment under these arrangements is remote.
Deed of Cross Guarantee and class order relief
The parent entity has entered into a Deed of Cross Guarantee through which the Group guarantees the debts of certain controlled
entities. The controlled entities that are party to the deed are disclosed in F1 of the Financial Statements for the year ended 31
December 2020.

Net tangible assets are net assets attributable to members of Ampol less intangible assets. The number of ordinary shares used in
the calculation of net tangible assets per share was 238.3 million (2020: 249.7 million).

E4 Taxation
Taxation of Singaporean entities
At the date of this report, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) had not finalised its position in relation to the extent to which
earnings by the Group’s Singaporean entities from transactions with the Group’s Australian entities should be subject to corporate
income tax in Australia.
Due to the uncertainty over the ATO’s final position, the Group has recognised tax liabilities for the period 1 January 2014 to 30
June 2021 in relation to these earnings at the Australian corporate income tax rate of 30%, rather than at the rate payable by the
Group’s Singaporean entities in Singapore. The difference between these rates is a cumulative tax expense impact (both current
and deferred) of $197.1 million (2020: $178.9 million) for the period 1 January 2014 to 30 June 2021.
Under an administrative agreement with the ATO, 50% of the current tax expense impact for the 2014 to 2019 years has been paid
or is now payable, with the remaining 50% payable pending resolution of the matter. No Australian tax was paid on these earnings
in respect of the 2020 year given the Australian tax consolidated group was in a tax loss position. In addition, no Australian tax was
paid on these earnings in respect of the first half of 2021 due to the utilisation of the tax loss carried forward from the 2020 year. As
at 30 June 2021, the Group has recognised $87.2 million (2020: $81.0 million) in current tax liability and reduced the deferred tax
asset recognised on the Australian tax consolidated group’s carry forward tax loss by $29.2 million (2020: $10.9 million), in relation
to this matter.
If the outcome of the ATO’s position is in the Group’s favour, an amount of income tax expense recognised to date could be written
back in future periods. If it is resolved such that the ATO’s position is sustained, there would be no impact on the Group’s income
statement or net assets.

E5 Impairment of non-current assets


Carrying value assessment
The carrying amounts of each cash generating unit (“CGU”) are reviewed at each reporting period to determine if there are any
indicators of impairment. CGUs are the lowest levels at which assets are grouped and generate separately identifiable cash flows.
Where an indicator of impairment exists, a detailed recoverable amount test is performed for the relevant CGU. If the recoverable
amount test determines that a CGU is impaired an impairment expense is recognised in the income statement.
All CGUs have been reviewed for indicators of impairment and triggers for a detailed recoverable amount review were present for
the Lytton refinery. Other CGU Groups were not tested for impairment as there were no impairment indicators at 30 June 2021.
Lytton refinery CGU
30 June 2021
Global hydrocarbon demand weakness due to COVID-19 travel restrictions and the impact of COVID-19 on regional refiner margins
and global trade balances has impacted the profitability of the Lytton refinery. With refiner margins at historically low levels and
demand for hydrocarbons showing weakness globally and in Australia, the Group announced on 8 October 2020 that it would
undertake a review of its Lytton refinery operations. The review was completed in May 2021 and the Group announced that it would
continue to operate the Lytton refinery and would access a range of both temporary and ongoing government support for the
refinery industry. Given the ongoing historically low levels of refinery margins, and the significant changes to the income streams for
the Lytton refinery, the Group has undertaken a recoverable amount review of the Lytton refinery CGU.
The Group re-assessed the recoverable amount of its Refinery assets using a discounted value-in-use cash-flow analysis. The
analysis uses cash flows projected over a 10-year useful life with a discount rate of 8.3% post-tax (pre-tax of 14.5%). Based on this
assessment it was determined the carrying value of the refinery was not impaired.
Determining recoverable amount requires the exercise of significant judgement for both internal and external factors. This includes,
but is not limited to, external foreign exchange forecasts and reference to industry-specific external analyst forecasts of regional
refiner margins. Judgements for internal factors, including but not limited to applicable discount rate, production volumes, wage
growth and other operating costs, have been made with reference to historical data and forward-looking business plans.
Assumptions have been risk adjusted as appropriate to take account of the inherent uncertainty of the future operating environment
and market conditions impacting Lytton refinery, arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sensitivities
Changes in the long-term view of both internal and external judgements may impact the estimated recoverable value. The
discounted cash flows are most sensitive to the following assumptions:

Key assumption Recoverable Amount


increase/(decrease)

Long term refining margins decreasing by US$1/bbl over a ten-year period ~($218) million

Foreign exchange rate (USD/AUD) increasing by 1 cent ~($25) million

Reduction over a ten-year period in annual production volume by 100ML for each year modelled ~($33) million

Discount rate increase by 1% ~($45) million

30 June 2020
The Group assessed the recoverable amount of its Refinery assets using a discounted value-in-use cash-flow analysis. The
analysis uses cash flows projected over a ten-year useful life with a discount rate of 8.5% post-tax (pre-tax of 13.0%). Based on this
assessment an impairment loss of $80.0 million was recognised in the interim financial statements.
Convenience Retail
30 June 2020
The Group assessed the recoverable amount of the site level CGU assets by using a value-in-use discounted cash flow analysis.
The analysis used cash flow forecasts based on a five-year period which were risk adjusted to reflect the uncertainty around the
timing and level of recovery from the impact of COVID-19. Cash flows beyond this period were extrapolated using a long-term
growth rate of 2.5%. Cash flow forecast for leased site assets were consistent with the term of the lease assessed under AASB 16.
The recoverable amount of the CGUs was based on its value-in-use (with a discount rate of 7.8% post-tax and pre-tax of 10.3%).
Based on the assessment it was determined that the carrying value of the Convenience Retail site assets was impaired by $233.0
million.
Impairment - Other specific assets
30 June 2020
As a consequence of COVID-19, a review of company priorities across projects and future investment was undertaken, to ensure a
clearer focus on the organisational priorities. The review resulted in cessation of IT projects and identification of Convenience Retail
and Depot sites to be closed and divested. Based on this assessment it was determined that an asset write down of $41.8 million
was required.

E6 Events subsequent to the reporting date


Dividend
On 23 August 2021, the Directors declared a fully franked final dividend. Refer to note B5 for further information.
Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19)
Since July 2021, Australian state governments have announced a number of new restrictions in response to COVID-19 and the
situation continues to evolve. These restrictions affect fuel demand and shop performance and the duration and impact of these
restrictions on the business remains uncertain. Ampol continues to monitor and review the safeguarding and health of its people
and customers, business continuity and cashflow.
Z Energy Limited
On 23 August 2021 the Group announced that it had made a non-binding indicative offer to acquire Z Energy Limited (“Z”), a fuel
distribution and retailing company which is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange. The Group made a cash offer of NZ$3.78
per share with an estimated transaction (equity) value of approximately NZ$2.0bn, which equates to an Enterprise Value of
NZ$2.8bn (inclusive of net debt). The Group will commence a four week period of exclusivity during which it will conduct
confirmatory due diligence and further develop its proposal. The proposal is subject to a unanimous Board recommendation,
agreement of binding transaction documents, as well as the approval of Z shareholders, NZ High Court and relevant regulatory
authorities. The Group expects the acquisition to be funded through a mix of debt, proceeds from divestments and approximately
$600m in equity. It is anticipated that any transaction would complete in the first half of 2022.
Other
There were no other items, transactions or events of a material or unusual nature that, in the opinion of the Board, are likely to
significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Group that have arisen in
the period from 30 June 2021 to the date of this report.
