CEO and President Comments

Ernie Herrman, Chief Executive Officer and President of The TJX Companies, Inc., stated, “I am very proud of the performance of our hard-working Associates in 2024. We delivered outstanding top-and bottom-line results that exceeded our guidance for the year. We surpassed $56 billion in annual sales, drove a 4% comparable store sales increase, significantly increased profitability, and opened our 5,000^th store during the year. Further, each of our divisions saw strong, consistent full year comp store sales growth of 4% or above. Our fourth quarter sales, profitability, and earnings per share were all well above our expectations. I am particularly pleased that our overall comp store sales growth of 5% for the quarter was due to strong increases in comp sales and customer transactions at every division. Throughout the year, we offered our wide range of customers compelling values on good, better, and best brands and on-point fashions, and an exciting treasure-hunt shopping experience. As we begin a new year, we are confident that remaining focused on the off-price fundamentals of our great company will continue to serve us well, as it has over many decades, and as always, we will strive to beat our plans. Longer term, we see many opportunities to successfully grow our business and deliver value to even more consumers around the world.”

Q4 Fiscal 2025 Margins

For the 13-week fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company’s pretax profit margin was 11.6%, up 0.4 percentage points versus last year’s 14-week fourth quarter pretax profit margin of 11.2%. Fourth quarter pretax profit margin was up 0.7 percentage points versus last year’s adjusted pretax profit margin of 10.9%, which excluded an estimated 0.3 percentage point benefit from the extra week in the Company’s fourth quarter Fiscal 2024 calendar.

The Company’s fourth quarter Fiscal 2025 pretax profit margin was above the high-end of its plan by 0.7 percentage points, primarily driven by lower than expected inventory shrink expense as well as expense leverage on the above-plan sales, partially offset by higher incentive compensation accruals.

Gross profit margin for the 13-week fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025 was 30.5%, up 0.7 percentage points versus last year’s 14-week fourth quarter gross profit margin of 29.8%. Fourth quarter gross profit margin was up 1.0 percentage points versus last year’s adjusted gross profit margin of 29.5%, which excluded an estimated 0.3 percentage point benefit from the extra week in the Company’s fourth quarter Fiscal 2024 calendar. This year-over-year increase was primarily driven by lower inventory shrink expense and strong markon.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs as a percent of sales for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025 were 19.2%, a 0.3 percentage point increase versus last year’s 18.9%. This year-over-year increase was due to incremental store wage and payroll costs.

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025 was neutral to pretax profit margin versus the prior year.

Full Year Fiscal 2025 Margins

For the 52-week Fiscal 2025 year, the Company’s pretax profit margin was 11.5%, up 0.5 percentage points versus last year’s 53-week pretax profit margin of 11.0%. Full year Fiscal 2025 pretax profit margin was up 0.6 percentage points versus last year’s adjusted pretax profit margin of 10.9%, which excluded an estimated 0.1 percentage point benefit from the extra week in the Company’s Fiscal 2024 calendar.

Gross profit margin for the 52-week Fiscal 2025 year was 30.6%, up 0.6 percentage points versus last year’s 53-week gross profit margin of 30.0%. Full year Fiscal 2025 gross profit margin was up 0.7 percentage points versus last year’s adjusted gross profit margin of 29.9%, which excluded an estimated 0.1 percentage point benefit from the extra week in the Company’s Fiscal 2024 calendar. Lower inventory shrink expense resulted in a 0.2 percentage point benefit to full year Fiscal 2025 gross profit margin.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs as a percent of sales for full year Fiscal 2025 were 19.4%, a 0.1 percentage point increase versus last year’s 19.3%.

Net interest income for full year Fiscal 2025 was neutral to pretax profit margin versus the prior year.

Inventory

Total inventories as of February 1, 2025 were $6.4 billion, compared to $6.0 billion at the end of Fiscal 2024. Consolidated inventories on a per-store basis as of February 1, 2025, including distribution centers, but excluding inventory in transit, the Company’s e-commerce sites, and Sierra stores, were up 1% on both a reported and constant currency basis versus last year. The constant currency basis reflects inventory adjusted for the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, if any, as described below. The Company enters the new fiscal year in an excellent inventory position and is set up well to take advantage of the outstanding availability in the marketplace and flow fresh assortments to its stores and online this spring.

Cash and Shareholder Distributions

For the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company generated $2.7 billion of operating cash flow. For the full year Fiscal 2025, the Company generated $6.1 billion of operating cash flow and ended the year with $5.3 billion of cash.

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company returned a total of $1.3 billion to shareholders. The Company repurchased 6.9 million shares of TJX stock for a total of $853 million and paid $421 million in shareholder dividends during the quarter.

In Fiscal 2025, the Company returned a total of $4.1 billion to shareholders which includes repurchasing a total of $2.5 billion of TJX stock, retiring 22.3 million shares, and paying $1.6 billion in shareholder dividends.

With continued strong cash flow, the Company announced today that it intends to increase the regular quarterly dividend on its common stock expected to be declared in March 2025 and payable in June 2025 to $.425 per share, subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. This would represent a 13% increase over the most recent per share dividend.

The Company is also announcing today its plan to repurchase approximately $2.0 to $2.5 billion of TJX stock during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026. With $1.1 billion remaining at Fiscal 2025 year end under the Company’s existing stock repurchase program, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to an additional $2.5 billion of TJX common stock from time to time. The new authorization represents approximately 1.8% of the Company’s outstanding shares at current prices. The new stock repurchase program marks the 25^th program approved by the Board since 1997. Under the Company’s repurchase programs, share repurchases may be made from time to time in market or private transactions and may include derivative transactions. The repurchase program announced today has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company may adjust the amount purchased under this program up or down depending on various factors. The Company remains committed to returning cash to its shareholders while continuing to invest in the business to support the near- and long-term growth of TJX.

Full Year and First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Outlook

For the full year Fiscal 2026, the Company is planning consolidated comparable store sales to be up 2% to 3%. The Company is planning full year Fiscal 2026 pretax profit margin to be in the range of 11.3% to 11.4%, down 0.1 to 0.2 percentage points versus the prior year’s 11.5%. The Company is planning full year Fiscal 2026 diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $4.34 to $4.43, which would represent a 2% to 4% increase over the prior year’s $4.26. The Company’s full year Fiscal 2026 outlook reflects an assumption that unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates and transactional foreign exchange would have an approximately 0.2 percentage point negative impact to pretax profit margin and an approximately 3% negative impact to earnings per share growth.

For the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, the Company is planning consolidated comparable store sales to be up 2% to 3%. The Company is planning first quarter Fiscal 2026 pretax profit margin to be in the range of 10.0% to 10.1%, down 1.0 to 1.1 percentage points versus the prior year’s 11.1%. The Company is planning first quarter Fiscal 2026 diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $.87 to $.89, which would represent a 4% to 6% decrease versus the prior year’s $.93.

The Company’s first quarter Fiscal 2026 pretax profit margin and diluted earnings per share outlook is planned lower than the Company’s outlook for the last nine months of the year primarily due to a benefit from lower incentive compensation accruals planned in the last nine months of Fiscal 2026, a lapping of a benefit from a reserve release in the first quarter of Fiscal 2025, and the expected timing of certain expenses.

The Company’s first quarter and Fiscal 2026 outlook implies that in the last nine months of Fiscal 2026, consolidated comparable store sales would be up 2% to 3%, pretax profit margin would be in the range of 11.6% to 11.7%, flat to up 0.1 percentage point versus the prior year, and diluted earnings per share would be in the range of $3.47 to $3.54, up 4% to 6% versus the prior year.

Stores by Concept

During the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, the Company increased its store count by 131 stores overall to a total of 5,085 stores and increased square footage by 2% versus the prior year.

Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates affect the translation of sales and earnings of the Company’s international businesses into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. In addition, ordinary course, inventory-related hedging instruments are marked to market at the end of each quarter. Changes in currency exchange rates can have a material effect on the magnitude of these translations and adjustments when there is significant volatility in currency exchange rates. Given the global operations of the Company, to facilitate comparability, the Company has provided sales growth and inventory on a constant currency basis, which assumes a constant exchange rate between periods for translation based on the rate in effect for the prior period.

The movement in foreign currency exchange rates had a neutral impact on the Company’s net sales growth in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025 versus the prior year. The overall net impact of foreign currency exchange rates was neutral on fourth quarter Fiscal 2025 diluted earnings per share.

The movement in foreign currency exchange rates had a neutral impact on the Company’s net sales growth in Fiscal 2025 versus the prior year. The overall net impact of foreign currency exchange rates had a $.01 positive impact on full year Fiscal 2025 diluted earnings per share.

A table detailing the impact of foreign currency on TJX’s net sales, pretax profit margins, as well as those of its international businesses, can be found in the Investors section of TJX.com.

The foreign currency exchange rate impact to diluted earnings per share does not include the impact currency exchange rates have on various transactions, which the Company refers to as “transactional foreign exchange.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods and between results in prior periods and expectations for future periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain items that affect overall comparability. Non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release include sales growth on a constant currency basis, inventory on a constant currency basis, adjusted pretax profit margin, adjusted gross profit margin, and adjusted diluted earnings per share. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for business planning purposes, to consider underlying trends of its business, and in measuring its performance relative to others in the market, and believes presenting these measures also provides information to investors and others for understanding and evaluating trends in the Company’s operating results or measuring performance in the same manner as the Company’s management. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The use of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures reported by other companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures.
