Overall, Tokmanni Group's strategic focus on integrating Dollarstore and optimizing its product assortment is expected to drive future growth. However, investors should remain cautious given the uncertain economic environment and potential impacts on consumer demand.

Tokmanni Group Corporation released its unaudited half-year financial report on August 16, 2024. The company updated its guidance for 2024, expecting revenue between EUR 1,650–1,730 million and comparable EBIT between EUR 98–118 million, down from previous estimates. President and CEO Mika Rautiainen noted that a tight economic climate led to cautious consumer behavior, affecting sales in Finland and Sweden. Despite this, Tokmanni's revenue grew by 32.5% in the second quarter, largely due to the acquisition of Dollarstore, although like-for-like revenue decreased by 2.4%. Grocery sales increased slightly and accounted for over half of total sales. The integration of Dollarstore is progressing well, with significant synergies already achieved. The company anticipates that an upcoming VAT rate increase in Finland will impact consumer demand and sales growth for the second half of the year. Efforts will focus on boosting sales and customer visits while continuing the integration of Dollarstore.
