Inventory

Total inventories as of May 2, 2026 were $7.7 billion, compared to $7.1 billion at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2026.

The Company’s inventory position reflects the excellent buying opportunities it saw in the marketplace during the first quarter. The Company is well-positioned to take advantage of the outstanding availability of quality merchandise and flow fresh assortments to its stores and online this spring and summer. Inventory on a constant currency basis reflects inventory adjusted for the impact of foreign currency, if any, as described below.

Cash and Shareholder Distributions

For the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, the Company generated $1.1 billion of operating cash flow and ended the quarter with $5.6 billion of cash.

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2027, the Company returned a total of $1.1 billion to shareholders. The Company repurchased 3.8 million shares of TJX stock for a total of $604 million and paid $471 million in shareholder dividends.

The Company is increasing its range for share repurchases to $2.75 to $3.0 billion of TJX stock during Fiscal 2027. The Company may adjust the amount purchased under this plan 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.

Second Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2027 Outlook

For the second quarter of Fiscal 2027, the Company is planning consolidated comparable sales to be up 2% to 3%, pretax profit margin to be in the range of 11.4% to 11.5%, and diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.15 to $1.17.

For the full year Fiscal 2027, the Company is raising its consolidated comparable sales outlook to be up 3% to 4%. The Company is increasing its pretax profit margin outlook to be in the range of 11.9% to 12.0% and raising its diluted earnings per share outlook to be in the range of $5.08 to $5.15.

The Company is not flowing through the entirety of its first quarter Fiscal 2027 above-plan pretax profit margin and diluted earnings per share performance to its full year Fiscal 2027 outlook. The Company’s full year Fiscal 2027 outlook now assumes that a higher cost of fuel will be in place for the remainder of the year and that it will be unfavorable to pretax profit margin and diluted earnings per share versus its previous outlook.

Stores by Concept

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 positive impact on the Company’s net sales growth in the first quarter of Fiscal 2027 versus the prior year. The overall net impact of foreign currency exchange rates had a $.01 positive impact on first quarter Fiscal 2027 diluted earnings per share.

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.

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 and inventory on a constant currency basis. 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.
