NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note A. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. These Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments, accruals and deferrals among periods required to match costs properly with the related revenue or activity, considered necessary by The TJX Companies, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “TJX”) for a fair statement of its Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods reported, all in conformity with GAAP consistently applied. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments for which the Company exercises significant influence but does not have control are accounted for under the equity method. The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, including the related notes, contained in TJX’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025 (“fiscal 2025”).
These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. TJX’s business, in common with the businesses of retailers generally, is subject to seasonal influences, with higher levels of sales and income generally realized in the second half of the year.
Fiscal Year
TJX’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to the last day of January of each year. The current fiscal year ends January 31, 2026 (“fiscal 2026”) and is a 52-week fiscal year. Fiscal 2025 was a 52-week fiscal year. “Fiscal 2027” and “fiscal 2028” will both be 52-week fiscal years and will end January 30, 2027 and January 29, 2028, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. TJX considers its accounting policies relating to inventory valuation, reserves for uncertain tax positions and loss contingencies to be the most significant accounting policies that involve management estimates and judgments. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material.
Deferred Gift Card Revenue
The following table presents deferred gift card revenue activity:
| In millions | May 3, 2025 | May 4, 2024 | ||||||
| Balance, beginning of year | $ | $ | ||||||
| Deferred revenue | ||||||||
| Effect of exchange rate changes on deferred revenue | ( | |||||||
| Revenue recognized | ( | ( | ||||||
| Balance, end of period | $ | $ | ||||||
TJX recognized $444 million in gift card revenue for the three months ended May 3, 2025 and $455 million for the three months ended May 4, 2024. Gift cards are combined in one homogeneous pool and are not separately identifiable. As such, the revenue recognized consists of gift cards that were part of the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period as well as gift cards that were issued during the period.

Equity Investments
Multibrand Outlet Stores
During fiscal 2025, the Company completed an investment for a 49 % ownership stake in Multibrand Outlet Stores S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“MOS”), through a joint venture with Grupo Axo, S.A.P.I de C.V. (“Axo”). MOS is Axo’s off-price, physical store business in Mexico and includes a total of over 200 stores for its Promoda, Reduced, and Urban Store banners. TJX has the option to increase its ownership interest in the joint venture over the long term. TJX completed this investment for $193 million, inclusive of acquisition costs, during the third quarter of fiscal 2025.
For the three months ended May 3, 2025, the carrying value of the Company’s equity investment in MOS was $177 million, which exceeds its share of MOS’ net assets by approximately $140 million. This difference primarily consists of goodwill and tradenames. Tradenames are definite-lived intangible assets and are amortized straight-line over their useful lives of 10 years. As of May 3, 2025, the revaluation of the investment from Mexican Pesos to the U.S. dollar resulted in an immaterial cumulative translation adjustment, which is recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.
Brands for Less
During fiscal 2025, the Company completed an investment for a 35 % ownership stake in privately held Brands for Less (“BFL”), representing a non-controlling, minority position. BFL currently operates over 100 stores, primarily in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, as well as an e-commerce business, and is the region’s only major off-price branded apparel, toys and home fashions retailer. TJX completed this investment for $358 million, inclusive of acquisition costs, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
For the three months ended May 3, 2025, the carrying value of the Company’s equity investment in BFL was $335 million, which exceeds its share of BFL net assets by approximately $291 million. This difference primarily consists of goodwill and a tradename. The tradename is a definite-lived intangible asset and will be amortized straight-line over the useful life of 15 years.
Both investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are recorded in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. TJX reports the results of its share of the investments in MOS and BFL on a one-quarter lag, as their results are not expected to be available in time to be recorded in the concurrent period. Earnings from the investments in MOS and BFL are recorded in Selling, general & administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The earnings from these investments did not have a material impact on the first quarter of fiscal 2026 results.
Additionally, both equity investments are evaluated for indicators of impairment on a periodic basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may be other-than-temporarily impaired. If the Company concludes that there is an other-than-temporary impairment of these equity investments, it will adjust the carrying amount of the investments to the current fair value. As of May 3, 2025, the Company determined that no impairments of its equity method investments existed.

Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards
From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). Unless otherwise discussed, the Company has reviewed the new guidance and has determined that it will either not apply to TJX or is not expected to be material to its Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption, and, therefore, the guidance is not disclosed.
9
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance related to improvements to income tax disclosures. The new standard updates the income tax disclosure related to the rate reconciliation and requires disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The standard also provides for further disclosure comparability. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this standard for the fiscal 2026 Form 10-K and is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its financial statement disclosures.
Improvements to Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued new guidance to enhance the disclosure of expenses by requiring further disaggregation of relevant expenses in a separate note to the financial statements. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statement disclosures and plans to adopt this standard for the fiscal 2028 Form 10-K.
SEC Rule Changes
In March 2024, the SEC adopted new rules phasing in for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025 that will require registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. In April 2024, the SEC determined to voluntarily stay the final rules pending certain legal challenges. In March 2025, the SEC withdrew its defense of the rules in the pending litigation and the Company is continuing to monitor the status.

Note D. Capital Stock and Earnings Per Share
Capital Stock
In February 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had 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. Under this program and previously announced programs, TJX had approximately $3 billion available for repurchase as of May 3, 2025.
The following table provides share repurchases, excluding applicable excise tax:

| Total number of shares repurchased and retired | ||||||||||||||
Total cost | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
All shares repurchased under the stock repurchase programs have been retired. These expenditures were funded by cash on hand and cash generated from operations.
11
Earnings Per Share
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
| Thirteen Weeks Ended | ||||||||||||||
| Amounts in millions, except per share amounts | May 3, 2025 | May 4, 2024 | ||||||||||||
Basic earnings per share: | ||||||||||||||
Net income | $ | $ | ||||||||||||

Weighted average common shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share calculation | ||||||||||||||
Diluted earnings per share | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
| Cash dividends declared per share | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
The weighted average common shares for the diluted earnings per share calculation excludes the impact of outstanding stock options if the assumed proceeds per share of the option is in excess of the average price of TJX’s common stock for the related fiscal periods. Such options are excluded because they would have an antidilutive effect. There were 4 million and 5 million antidilutive options excluded for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025 and May 4, 2024, respectively.
Note E. Financial Instruments
As a result of its operating and financing activities, TJX is exposed to market risks from changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates and fuel costs. These market risks may adversely affect TJX’s operating results and financial position. TJX seeks to minimize risk from changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates and fuel costs through the use of derivative financial instruments when and to the extent deemed appropriate. TJX does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes and does not use any leveraged derivative financial instruments. TJX recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and measures those instruments at fair value. The fair values of the derivatives are classified as assets or liabilities, current or non-current, based upon valuation results and settlement dates of the individual contracts. Changes to the fair value of derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting are reported in earnings in the period of the change. For derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are either recorded in shareholders’ equity as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income or are recognized currently in earnings, along with an offsetting adjustment against the basis of the item being hedged. Gains and losses on derivative instruments are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in operating activities, under Other, net.
12
Diesel Fuel Contracts
TJX hedges portions of its estimated notional diesel fuel requirements based on the diesel fuel expected to be consumed by independent freight carriers transporting TJX’s inventory. Independent freight carriers transporting TJX’s inventory charge TJX a mileage surcharge based on the price of diesel fuel. The hedge agreements are designed to mitigate the volatility of diesel fuel pricing, and the resulting per mile surcharges payable by TJX, by setting a fixed price per gallon for the period being hedged. During fiscal 2025, TJX entered into agreements to hedge a portion of its estimated notional diesel fuel requirements for fiscal 2026, and during the first three months of fiscal 2026, TJX entered into agreements to hedge a portion of its estimated notional diesel fuel requirements for the first three months of fiscal 2027. The hedge agreements outstanding at May 3, 2025 relate to approximately 50 % of TJX’s estimated notional diesel fuel requirements for the remainder of fiscal 2026 and the first three months of fiscal 2027. These diesel fuel hedge agreements will settle throughout fiscal 2026 and throughout the first four months of fiscal 2027. Upon settlement, the realized gains and losses on these contracts are offset by the realized gains and losses of the underlying item in Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs. TJX elected not to apply hedge accounting to these contracts.
Foreign Currency Contracts
TJX enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to obtain economic hedges on portions of merchandise purchases made and anticipated to be made by the Company’s operations in currencies other than their respective functional currencies. The contracts outstanding at May 3, 2025 cover merchandise purchases the Company is committed to over the next several months in fiscal 2026. Additionally, TJX’s operations in Europe are subject to foreign currency exposure as a result of their U.K. centralized buying function. Merchandise is purchased centrally in the U.K. and then shipped and billed to the retail entities in other countries. This intercompany billing to TJX’s European businesses’ Euro denominated operations creates exposure to the central buying entity for changes in the exchange rate between the Euro and British Pound. A portion of the inflows of Euros to the central buying entity provides a natural hedge for Euro denominated merchandise purchases from third-party vendors. TJX calculates any excess Euro exposure each month and enters into forward contracts of approximately 30 days' duration to mitigate this excess exposure. Upon settlement, the realized gains and losses on these contracts are offset by the realized gains and losses of the underlying item in Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs.
TJX also enters into derivative contracts, generally designated as fair value hedges, to hedge intercompany debt. The changes in fair value of these contracts are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses and are offset by marking the underlying item to fair value in the same period. Upon settlement, the realized gains and losses on these contracts are offset by the realized gains and losses of the underlying item in Selling, general and administrative expenses.

Note F. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (also referred to as exit price). The inputs used to measure fair value are generally classified into the following hierarchy:
| Level 1: | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities | |||||||
| Level 2: | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability | |||||||
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability | |||||||
The following table sets forth TJX’s financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:
| In millions | May 3, 2025 | February 1, 2025 | May 4, 2024 | ||||||||
| Level 1 | |||||||||||
| Assets: | |||||||||||

| Assets: | |||||||||||
| Foreign currency exchange contracts | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||
| Liabilities: | |||||||||||
| Foreign currency exchange contracts | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||
| Diesel fuel contracts | |||||||||||
Investments designed to meet obligations under the Executive Savings Plan are invested in registered investment companies traded in active markets and are recorded at unadjusted quoted prices.
Foreign currency exchange contracts and diesel fuel contracts are valued using broker quotations, which include observable market information. TJX does not make adjustments to quotes or prices obtained from brokers or pricing services but does assess the credit risk of counterparties and will adjust final valuations when appropriate. Where independent pricing services provide fair values, TJX obtains an understanding of the methods used in pricing. As such, these instruments are classified within Level 2.
17
The fair value of TJX’s general corporate debt was estimated by obtaining market quotes given the trading levels of other bonds of the same general issuer type and market perceived credit quality. These inputs are considered to be Level 2 inputs. These estimates do not necessarily reflect provisions or restrictions in the various debt agreements that might affect TJX’s ability to settle these obligations.
The following table summarizes the carrying value and fair value estimates of the Company’s components of long-term debt:
| May 3, 2025 | February 1, 2025 | May 4, 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||

| Level 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Long-term debt | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||
For additional information on long-term debt, see Note I—Long-Term Debt and Credit Lines.
TJX’s cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.
The majority of the Company’s assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis. Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of an impairment. For the periods ended May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025 and May 4, 2024, the Company did not record any material impairments to long-lived assets.
Note G. Segment Information
TJX operates four segments. TJX defines its segments as those operations whose results the Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), regularly reviews to analyze performance and allocate resources. In the United States, the Marmaxx segment operates TJ Maxx, Marshalls, tjmaxx.com and marshalls.com and the HomeGoods segment operates HomeGoods and Homesense. The TJX Canada segment operates Winners, HomeSense and Marshalls in Canada, and the TJX International segment operates TK Maxx, Homesense, tkmaxx.com, tkmaxx.de, and tkmaxx.at in Europe and TK Maxx in Australia. In addition to the Company’s four segments, Sierra operates retail stores and sierra.com in the U.S. The results of Sierra are included in the Marmaxx segment.
All of TJX’s stores, with the exception of HomeGoods and HomeSense/Homesense, sell family apparel and home fashions. HomeGoods and HomeSense/Homesense offer home fashions.
The CODM regularly reviews net sales by segment and segment profit or loss. There are no significant expense categories or amounts regularly provided to the CODM and included in reported segment profit or loss. As such, no significant expense categories are disclosed in the table below. The CODM evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments based on “segment profit or loss,” which it defines as pre-tax income or loss before general corporate expense, interest (income) expense, net and certain separately disclosed unusual or infrequent items. “Segment profit or loss,” as defined by TJX, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities. This measure of performance should not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of TJX’s performance or as a measure of liquidity.

The Company does not anticipate any required funding in fiscal 2026 for the funded plan. The Company anticipates making contributions of $8 million to provide current benefits coming due under the unfunded plan in fiscal 2026.
The amounts included in Amortization of net actuarial loss and prior service cost in the table above have been reclassified in their entirety from Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income to the Consolidated Statements of Income, net of related tax effects, for the periods presented.

Credit Facilities
As of May 3, 2025, the Company had two TJX revolving credit facilities, a $1 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in June 2026 (the “2026 Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $500 million revolving credit facility maturing in May 2028 (the “2028 Revolving Credit Facility”).
On May 9, 2025, the Company amended and restated its 2028 Revolving Credit Facility (as amended, the “2029 Revolving Credit Facility”) to (i) extend the maturity to May 9, 2029 and (ii) increase the aggregate principal amount commitment to $750 million. All other material terms and conditions of the 2029 Revolving Credit Facility were unchanged.
21
Additionally, on May 9, 2025, the Company amended and restated its 2026 Revolving Credit Facility (as amended, “the 2030 Revolving Credit Facility”) to (i) extend the maturity to May 9, 2030, (ii) decrease the aggregate principal amount of commitments to $750 million and (iii) reduce the interest rate margin applicable to borrowings bearing interest at a term secured overnight financing rate to a margin of 45.0 - 87.5 basis points consistent with the 2029 Revolving Credit Facility. All other material terms and conditions of the 2030 Revolving Credit Facility were unchanged.
Under these credit facilities, the Company has maintained a borrowing capacity of $1.5 billion. As of May 3, 2025, February 1, 2025 and May 4, 2024, and during the quarters and year then ended, there were no
Note J. Income Taxes
A number of countries have enacted legislation to implement the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s 15% global minimum tax regime (Pillar Two) with effect from January 1, 2024. These changes did not have a material impact on our effective tax rate, results of operations or financial position for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and are not expected to have a significant impact to the full fiscal year. We continue to evaluate the impacts of proposed and enacted legislation for the jurisdictions in which TJX operates.
The effective income tax rate was 23.0 % for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and 23.0 % for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. There were no significant changes to TJX’s effective income tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
TJX had net unrecognized tax benefits of $205 million as of May 3, 2025, $217 million as of February 1, 2025 and $200 million as of May 4, 2024.
TJX is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state, local and foreign jurisdictions. In the U.S. and India, fiscal years through 2010 are no longer subject to examination. In all other jurisdictions, fiscal years through 2011 are no longer subject to examination.
TJX’s accounting policy is to classify interest and penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expense. The accrued amounts for interest and penalties on the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $23 million as of May 3, 2025, $28 million as of February 1, 2025 and $24 million as of May 4, 2024.
Based on the final resolution of tax examinations, judicial or administrative proceedings, changes in facts or law, expirations of statutes of limitations in specific jurisdictions or other resolutions of, or changes in, tax positions, it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits for certain tax positions taken on previously filed tax returns may change materially from those represented on the Consolidated Financial Statements as of May 3, 2025. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that tax audit resolutions may reduce unrecognized tax benefits by up to $21 million, which would reduce the provision for taxes on earnings.
Note K. Contingent Obligations, Contingencies, and Commitments
Contingent Contractual Obligations
TJX is a party to various agreements under which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain losses related to matters including title to assets sold, specified environmental matters or certain income taxes. These obligations are sometimes limited in time or amount. There are no amounts reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets with respect to these contingent obligations.
Legal Contingencies
TJX is subject to certain legal proceedings, lawsuits, disputes and claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. TJX has accrued immaterial amounts in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for certain of its legal proceedings.

The Thirteen Weeks (first quarter) Ended May 3, 2025
Compared to
The Thirteen Weeks (first quarter) Ended May 4, 2024
OVERVIEW
We are the leading off-price apparel and home fashions retailer in the U.S. and worldwide. Our mission is to deliver great value to our customers every day. We do this by selling a rapidly changing assortment of apparel, home fashions and other merchandise at prices generally 20% to 60% below full-price retailers’ (including department, specialty and major online retailers) regular prices on comparable merchandise, every day through our stores and six e-commerce sites. We operate over 5,100 stores through our four segments: in the U.S., Marmaxx (which operates TJ Maxx, Marshalls, tjmaxx.com and marshalls.com) and HomeGoods (which operates HomeGoods and Homesense); TJX Canada (which operates Winners, HomeSense and Marshalls in Canada); and TJX International (which operates TK Maxx, Homesense, tkmaxx.com, tkmaxx.de, and tkmaxx.at in Europe, and TK Maxx in Australia). In addition to our four segments, Sierra operates retail stores and sierra.com in the U.S. The results of Sierra are included in the Marmaxx segment.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As an overview of our financial performance, results for the quarter ended May 3, 2025 include the following:
–Net sales increased 5% to $13.1 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 versus last year’s first quarter sales of $12.5 billion. As of May 3, 2025, both the number of stores in operation and the selling square footage increased 3% compared to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
–Consolidated comp sales increased 3% for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. See Net Sales below for our definition of comp sales.
–Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 were $0.92 versus $0.93 in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
–Pre-tax profit margin (the ratio of pre-tax income to net sales) for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was 10.3%, a 0.8 percentage point decrease compared with 11.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
–Our cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs, ratio for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was 70.5%, a 0.5 percentage point increase compared with 70.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
–Our selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense ratio for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was 19.4%, a 0.2 percentage point increase compared with 19.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
–Our consolidated average per store inventories, including inventory on hand at our distribution centers (which excludes inventory in transit) and excluding our e-commerce sites, were up 7% at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Sierra stores are included in the consolidated average per store inventories.
–During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we returned $1 billion to our shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.
Recent Events and Trends
Global Economic Conditions and Tariffs
We continue to closely monitor changes in international trade relations, economic and monetary policies, or legislation and regulations including those related to tariffs on imports from China and other countries. The tariffs have led to significant volatility in the global economy, and the extent and duration of the tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and on our business are uncertain. Our buying organization’s ability to execute our merchandise sourcing model to offset the effects of the tariffs is a key factor. We are implementing and considering additional measures that seek to mitigate the impact of tariffs. However, the overall impact depends on a range of factors, including trade negotiations between the U.S. and other countries, responses of other countries, exceptions that could be granted, and cost of alternative sources of merchandise. It is possible that some of the actions we might take to adapt could increase risk, drive a modification of our operations that might be time-consuming or expensive, or possibly impact pricing on certain items, which could impact our business. Uncertainty remains regarding the continued impact on our direct imports, indirect imports, vendor and competitor pricing, consumer demand, tariff pass-throughs, and reciprocal or retaliatory tariffs.

Net Sales
Net sales for the quarter ended May 3, 2025 totaled $13.1 billion, a 5% increase versus first quarter fiscal 2025 net sales of $12.5 billion. This increase reflects a 3% increase in comp sales, a 2% increase from non-comp sales and a neutral impact from foreign currency. Net sales from our e-commerce sites combined amounted to approximately 2% of total sales for each of the first quarters of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025.
Comp sales increased 3% for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and increased 3% for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Both home comp sales growth (as defined below) and apparel comp sales growth (as defined below) generally performed in line with the overall comp sales increase for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Comp sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 were driven by an increase in customer transactions.
As of May 3, 2025, both our store count and selling square footage increased 3% compared to the end of the first quarter last year.
Definition of Comparable Sales
We define comparable sales, or comp sales, to be sales of stores and e-commerce sites that have been in operation for all or a portion of two consecutive fiscal years, or, in other words, stores or e-commerce sites that are starting their third fiscal year of operation. In any given fiscal year, we calculate comp sales on a 52-week basis by comparing the current and prior year weekly periods that are most closely aligned. Relocated stores and stores that have changed in size are generally classified in the same way as the original store, and we believe that the impact of these stores on the consolidated comp sales percentage is immaterial. Starting in fiscal 2026, sales from e-commerce sites are included in comp sales, and the impact of such sales on the consolidated comp sales percentage is immaterial.
Sales excluded from comp sales (“non-comp sales”) consist of sales from:
–New stores or e-commerce sites - stores or sites that have not yet met the comp sales criteria, which represents a substantial majority of non-comp sales
–Stores or e-commerce sites that are closed permanently or for an extended period of time
We determine which stores and e-commerce sites are included in the comp sales calculation at the beginning of a fiscal year, and the classification remains constant throughout that year unless a store or e-commerce site is closed permanently or for an extended period during that fiscal year.
Comp sales of our foreign segments are calculated on a constant currency basis. We define constant currency basis as translating the current year’s results using the prior year’s exchange rates. This removes the effect of changes in currency exchange rates, which we believe is a more appropriate measure of performance.
Comp sales may be referred to as “same store” sales by other retail companies. The method for calculating comp sales varies across the retail industry; therefore, our measure of comp sales may not be comparable to that of other retail companies. Comparable sales for a category such as home or apparel include sales from merchandise within such category combined across all divisions that fall within the Company’s definition of comparable sales for such period.
We define customer transactions to be the number of transactions in stores or online included in the comp sales calculation. We define average ticket to be the average retail price of the units sold. We define average basket to be the average dollar value of transactions.
24
Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Our operating results are affected by foreign currency exchange rates as a result of changes in the value of the U.S. dollar or a division’s local currency in relation to other currencies. We specifically refer to “foreign currency” as the impact of translational foreign currency exchange and mark-to-market of inventory derivatives, as described in detail below. This does not include the impact foreign currency exchange rates can have on various transactions that are denominated in a currency other than an operating division's local currency, which is referred to as “transactional foreign exchange,” and also described below.
Translation Foreign Exchange
In our Consolidated Financial Statements, we translate the operations of TJX Canada and TJX International from local currencies into U.S. dollars using currency rates in effect at different points in time. Significant changes in foreign exchange rates between comparable prior periods can result in meaningful variations in assets, liabilities, net sales, net income and earnings per share as well as the net sales and operating results of these segments. Currency translation generally does not affect operating margins, or affects them only slightly, as sales and expenses of the foreign operations are translated at approximately the same rates within a given period.
Mark-to-Market Inventory Derivatives
We routinely enter into inventory-related hedging instruments to mitigate the impact on earnings of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on merchandise purchases denominated in currencies other than the local currencies of our divisions, principally TJX Canada and TJX International. As we have not elected hedge accounting for these instruments, as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we record a mark-to-market gain or loss on the derivative instruments in our results of operations at the end of each reporting period. In subsequent periods, the income statement impact of the mark-to-market adjustment is effectively offset when the inventory being hedged is paid for. While these effects occur every reporting period, they are of much greater magnitude when there are sudden and significant changes in currency exchange rates during a short period of time. The mark-to-market adjustment on these derivatives does not affect net sales, but it does affect the cost of sales, operating margins and earnings we report.
Transactional Foreign Exchange
When discussing the impact on our results of the effect of foreign currency exchange rates on certain transactions, we refer to it as “transactional foreign exchange”. This primarily includes the impact that foreign currency exchange rates may have on the year-over-year comparison of merchandise margin as well as “foreign currency gains and losses” on transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the operating division's local currency. These two items can impact segment margin comparison of our foreign divisions and we have highlighted them when they are meaningful to understanding operating trends.
Cost of Sales, Including Buying and Occupancy Costs
Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs, as a percentage of net sales was 70.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, an increase of 0.5 percentage points compared to 70.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
The increase in the cost of sales ratio, including buying and occupancy costs, for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was attributable to the unfavorable year-over-year impact related to the mark-to-market adjustments on inventory hedges.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses, as a percentage of net sales, was 19.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, an increase of 0.2 percentage points compared to 19.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
The increase in the SG&A ratio for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was due to the year-over-year impact from an employee retention credit reserve release benefit last year and incremental store wage and payroll costs.

Interest (Income) Expense, net
The components of interest (income) expense, net are summarized below:

Interest (income) expense, net decreased for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the same period in fiscal 2025, primarily due to a decrease in interest income driven by a decrease in prevailing rates and a lower average cash balance.
Provision for Income Taxes
A number of countries have enacted legislation to implement the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s 15% global minimum tax regime (Pillar Two) with effect from January 1, 2024. These changes did not have a material impact on our effective tax rate, results of operations or financial position for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and are not expected to have a significant impact to the full fiscal year. We continue to evaluate the impacts of proposed and enacted legislation for the jurisdictions in which TJX operates.
The effective income tax rate was 23.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and 23.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. There were no significant changes to our effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Net income was $1.0 billion, or $0.92 per diluted share, and $1.1 billion, or $0.93 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025, respectively. Foreign currency had a $0.02 negative impact on diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and a $0.01 positive impact on diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
Segment Information
We operate four segments. In the United States, our Marmaxx segment operates TJ Maxx, Marshalls, tjmaxx.com and marshalls.com and our HomeGoods segment operates HomeGoods and Homesense. Our TJX Canada segment operates Winners, HomeSense and Marshalls in Canada, and our TJX International segment operates TK Maxx, Homesense, tkmaxx.com, tkmaxx.de, and tkmaxx.at in Europe and TK Maxx in Australia. In addition to our four segments, Sierra operates retail stores and sierra.com in the U.S. The results of Sierra are included in the Marmaxx segment.
We evaluate the performance of our segments based on “segment profit or loss,” which we define as pre-tax income or loss before general corporate expense and interest (income) expense, net, and certain separately disclosed unusual or infrequent items. “Segment profit or loss,” as we define the term, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The terms “segment margin” or “segment profit margin” are used to describe segment profit or loss as a percentage of net sales. These measures of performance should not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flows from operating activities, as an indicator of our performance or as a measure of liquidity.
Presented below is selected financial information related to our segments.

Net Sales
Net sales for Marmaxx were $8.1 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, an increase of 4% compared to $7.8 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. This increase in the first quarter reflects a 2% increase from comp sales and a 2% increase from non-comp sales.
For the first quarter, the increase in comp sales was driven by an increase in customer transactions and an increase in average basket. Both Marmaxx home and apparel comp sales growth generally performed in line with the overall comp sales increase for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Geographically, comp sales growth was strongest in the West and South regions for the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
Segment Profit Margin
Segment profit margin decreased to 13.7% for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 14.2% for the same period last year. The decrease in segment profit margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was primarily driven by expense deleverage on occupancy and administrative costs and the year-over-year impact from an employee retention credit reserve release benefit last year.
Our Marmaxx e-commerce sites, tjmaxx.com and marshalls.com, together with sierra.com, represented approximately 3% of Marmaxx’s net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025, and did not have a significant impact on year-over-year segment margin comparisons.

Segment Profit Margin
Segment profit margin increased to 10.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 9.5% for the same period last year. This increase in segment profit margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was primarily driven by lower supply chain costs, partially offset by the year-over-year impact from an employee retention credit reserve release benefit last year.

Segment Profit Margin
Segment profit margin decreased to 10.7% for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 12.3% for the same period last year.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity requirements have traditionally been funded through cash generated from operations, supplemented, as needed, by short-term bank borrowings and the issuance of commercial paper. As of May 3, 2025, there were no short-term bank borrowings or commercial paper outstanding. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, internally generated funds and our credit facilities, under which facilities we have $1.5 billion available as of the period ended May 3, 2025, as described in Note I—Long-Term Debt and Credit Lines of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, are adequate to meet our operating needs for the foreseeable future.
As of May 3, 2025, we held $4.3 billion in cash. Approximately $1.2 billion of our cash was held by our foreign subsidiaries with $748 million held in countries where we intend to indefinitely reinvest any undistributed earnings. We have provided for all applicable state and foreign withholding taxes on all undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries in Canada, Puerto Rico, Italy, India, Hong Kong and Vietnam through May 3, 2025. If we repatriate cash from such subsidiaries, we should not incur additional tax expense and our cash would be reduced by the amount of withholding taxes paid.
We monitor debt financing markets on an ongoing basis and from time to time may incur additional long-term indebtedness depending on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, existing economic conditions and other factors. Periodically, we have used, and in the future we may again use, operating cash flow and cash on hand to repay portions of our indebtedness, depending on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, existing economic conditions, contractual restrictions and other factors. As such, we may, from time to time, seek to retire, redeem, prepay or purchase our outstanding debt through redemptions, cash purchases, prepayments, refinancings and/or exchanges, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. If we use our operating cash flow and/or cash on hand to repay our debt, it will reduce the amount of cash available for additional capital expenditures.
Operating Activities
Operating activities resulted in net cash inflows of $394 million for the three months ended May 3, 2025 and $737 million for the three months ended May 4, 2024.
Operating cash flows decreased $343 million compared to fiscal 2025 primarily due to the change in merchandise inventories net of accounts payable.
Investing Activities
Investing activities resulted in net cash outflows of $503 million for the three months ended May 3, 2025 and $427 million for the three months ended May 4, 2024. The cash outflows for both periods were driven by capital expenditures.
Capital expenditures in the first three months of fiscal 2026 primarily reflected store improvements and renovations, investments in our new stores, as well as investments in our distribution centers and offices, including information technology. We anticipate that capital spending for the full fiscal year 2026 will be approximately $2.1 billion to $2.2 billion.
We plan to fund these expenditures with our existing cash balances and through internally generated funds.
Financing Activities
Financing activities resulted in net cash outflows of $1 billion for the first three months of fiscal 2026 and $840 million for the first three months of fiscal 2025. The cash outflows for both periods were primarily driven by equity repurchases and dividend payments.
Equity
Under our stock repurchase programs, we paid $613 million to repurchase and retire 5.1 million shares of our stock in the first three months of fiscal 2026. As of May 3, 2025, approximately $3 billion remained available under our existing stock repurchase programs. We paid $509 million to repurchase and retire 5.3 million shares of our stock in the first three months of fiscal 2025. We currently plan to repurchase approximately $2 billion to $2.5 billion of stock under our stock repurchase programs in fiscal 2026. For further information regarding equity repurchases, see Note D – Capital Stock and Earnings Per Share of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Dividends
We declared quarterly dividends on our common stock of $0.425 per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and $0.375 per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Cash payments for dividends on our common stock totaled $424 million for the first three months of fiscal 2026 and $380 million for the first three months of fiscal 2025.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 3, 2025 pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of implementing controls and procedures.
32
Effective April 2, 2025, we implemented a new human resources (HR) system to simplify and standardize our global HR processes while also enhancing the control environment surrounding the Company’s HR related activities. Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Act) during the fiscal quarter ended May 3, 2025 identified in connection with the evaluation by our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
