CEO and President Comments
Ernie Herrman, Chief Executive Officer and President of The TJX Companies, Inc., stated, “I am very pleased with our above-plan consolidated results in the second quarter. Overall comparable sales increased 4%, above our plan, and both profitability and earnings per share well exceeded our expectations. While sales at Marmaxx were below our expectations, HomeGoods, TJX Canada, and TJX International all delivered terrific comp sales increases of 6% to 7%, which underscores the strength of our global diversified business. With our strong second quarter profit results, we are raising our pretax profit margin and earnings per share outlook for the full year. Looking ahead, the third quarter is off to a strong start, and we are seeing improvement at our Marmaxx division to start the quarter. Availability of branded, quality merchandise continues to be outstanding, and we have many initiatives in place to drive sales and traffic in the upcoming fall and holiday shopping seasons. Further, we are pleased to share that we are planning to accelerate our store openings to 4% starting next year and now believe we can grow our overall global store base to a total of 7,500 stores in our existing retail banners in our current countries over the long term. We remain very confident in the long runway for growth ahead for TJX and we are excited about the opportunities we see to bring great values to even more consumers around the world.”

Excluding a 0.6 percentage point negative impact from tariff refund related incremental compensation expense accruals, adjusted SG&A costs as a percent of sales were 19.7%, up 0.2 percentage points versus the prior year.

IEEPA Tariff Refunds and Related Expense Accruals
During the second quarter of Fiscal 2027, the Company received aggregate refunds of $331 million for a portion of the IEEPA tariffs it previously paid. As a result, these tariff refunds benefitted the Company’s second quarter Fiscal 2027 cost of sales. Due to these tariff refunds, the Company accrued incremental expenses of $112 million for year-end incentive compensation and discretionary bonuses for eligible Associates globally which impact both the Company’s second quarter Fiscal 2027 cost of sales and SG&A costs. The net benefit of tariff refunds was $219 million for the Company’s second quarter Fiscal 2027 pretax profit. The impact of tariff refunds and related incremental compensation expense accruals to the Company’s second quarter Fiscal 2027 gross profit margin, SG&A costs, pretax profit margin, and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

Third Quarter, Full Year Fiscal 2027, and Store Growth Outlook
In the third quarter of Fiscal 2027, the Company expects to receive additional IEEPA tariff refunds, which it expects to benefit the Company’s third quarter Fiscal 2027 cost of sales. Due to these expected tariff refunds, the Company expects to accrue incremental expense for year-end incentive compensation and discretionary bonuses that will impact the Company’s third quarter Fiscal 2027 cost of sales and SG&A costs. The amount, timing and likelihood of additional tariff refund recovery remain uncertain. The total amount of refunds received may not equal the full amount of IEEPA related tariffs paid, and additional refunds remain subject to further legal, regulatory or administrative developments.
For the third quarter of Fiscal 2027, the Company is planning consolidated comparable sales to be up 2% to 3%. The Company expects pretax profit margin to be in the range of 12.8% to 12.9%. Excluding an expected net benefit of 0.5 percentage points from tariff refunds, the Company expects adjusted pretax profit margin to be in the range of 12.3% to 12.4%. The Company expects diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.36 to $1.38. Excluding an expected net benefit of $.06 from tariff refunds, the Company expects adjusted diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.30 to $1.32.
For the full year Fiscal 2027, the Company continues to expect consolidated comparable sales to be up 3% to 4%. The Company is increasing its full-year pretax profit margin outlook to be in the range of 12.3% to 12.4%. Excluding an expected net benefit of 0.3 percentage points from tariff refunds, the Company is increasing its full-year adjusted pretax profit margin outlook to be in the range of 12.0% to 12.1%. The Company is increasing its full-year diluted earnings per share outlook to be in the range of $5.31 to $5.36. Excluding an expected net benefit of $.16 from tariff refunds, the Company is increasing its full year outlook for adjusted diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $5.15 to $5.20.
Beginning in Fiscal 2028, the Company is planning to accelerate its store opening growth to 4%. The Company is also increasing its long-term global store target by an additional 500 stores to a total of 7,500 stores for its existing retail banners in its current countries.

Impact of Foreign Currency
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 one percentage point negative impact on the Company’s net sales growth in the second quarter of Fiscal 2027 versus the prior year. The overall net impact of foreign currency exchange rates had a $.01 positive impact on second quarter Fiscal 2027 diluted earnings per share.
The movement in foreign currency exchange rates had a neutral impact on the Company’s net sales growth in the first half of Fiscal 2027 versus the prior year. The overall net impact of foreign currency exchange rates had a $.02 positive impact on the first half Fiscal 2027 diluted earnings per share.
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.”
Additionally, a table detailing the impact of foreign currency on TJX’s net sales and pretax profit margin, as well as those of its international businesses, can be found in the Investors section of TJX.com.

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. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance, including relative to others in the market. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to consider underlying trends of the Company’s business and believes presenting these measures also provides information to investors and others to assist them in understanding and evaluating trends in the Company’s operating results or measure 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 to, 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.
Important Information at Website
Archived versions of the Company’s conference calls are available in the Investors section of TJX.com after they are no longer available by telephone, as are reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures and other financial information. The Company routinely posts information that may be important to investors in the Investors section at TJX.com. The Company encourages investors to consult that section of its website regularly.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Statements
1.During the second quarter of Fiscal 2027, the Company received aggregate refunds of $331 million for a portion of the IEEPA tariffs it previously paid. As a result, this tariff refund benefitted the Company’s second quarter Fiscal 2027 cost of sales. Due to this tariff refund, the Company accrued incremental expense for year-end incentive compensation and discretionary bonuses for eligible Associates globally which impact both the Company’s second quarter Fiscal 2027 cost of sales and SG&A costs. The net benefit of this tariff refund was $219 million for the Company’s second quarter Fiscal 2027 pretax profit.
2.During the second quarter ended August 1, 2026, the Company returned $1.3 billion to shareholders, repurchasing and retiring 5.1 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $798 million and paid $529 million in shareholder dividends. During the six months ended August 1, 2026, the Company returned $2.4 billion to shareholders, repurchasing and retiring 8.9 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $1.4 billion and paid $1.0 billion in shareholder dividends. During the second quarter of Fiscal 2027, the Company completed the $1.1 billion that remained as of January 31, 2026 from the previously announced stock repurchase program. In February 2026, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had approved a new stock repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to an additional $3.0 billion of TJX common stock from time to time. Under this program, TJX had approximately $2.7 billion available for repurchase as of August 1, 2026.
