Feb 24 (Reuters) - Australia's Ampol ALD.AX reported a 68% fall in annual profit on Monday, impacted by lower refining margins at its Lytton refinery in Queensland along with a decline in its fuels and infrastructure business.
The country's top fuel retailer posted net profit after tax from continuing operations for the year ended December 31 of A$234.8 million ($149.5 million) on a replacement cost basis, compared with A$740.1 million in the previous year.
That missed a Visible Alpha consensus estimate of A$246.1 million profit.
