CEO and President Comments

Ernie Herrman, Chief Executive Officer and President of The TJX Companies, Inc., stated, “I am so proud of the outstanding performance and execution of our teams again in 2022. By staying focused on our off-price fundamentals, which have served us well through many kinds of retail and macro environments, we continued to bring customers around the world exciting values and a treasure-hunt shopping experience, every day. Our eclectic, rapidly changing mix of gift giving assortments clearly resonated with consumers this holiday season. We saw fourth quarter U.S. comp store sales growth of 4%, well above our plan, and U.S. customer traffic increase. Marmaxx delivered a very strong 7% comp increase, its highest quarterly comp of the year, driven by excellent sales in its apparel and accessories categories.”

Herrman continued, “For the full year, total sales neared $50 billion, U.S. comp store sales were flat, and overall profitability improved. During the year, our apparel businesses, including accessories, across the Company were strong. Sales at our home businesses overall were softer as we saw extraordinary growth during the two prior years when consumers focused on purchases for their homes. At our international divisions, we saw total sales increases and improved profitability for the year. Fiscal 2024 is off to a strong start and we remain confident in improving our profitability this year and reaching our pretax profit margin target of 10.6% by Fiscal 2025. We are energized for the year ahead and our plans to keep bringing customers around the globe ever-changing selections of great fashions and brands at excellent values. Longer term, I am confident that we are on track to becoming an increasingly profitable $60 billion-plus company.”

Margins

For the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company’s pretax profit margin was 9.2%, a 0.2 percentage point increase versus last year’s fourth quarter pretax profit margin of 9.0%. Merchandise margin decreased slightly and includes an unplanned 0.6 percentage point shrink charge versus last year. The Company’s fourth quarter guidance had contemplated that shrink would be a 0.5 percentage point benefit to pretax profit margin versus the prior year.

Gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023 was 26.1%, a 1.0 percentage point decrease versus the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs as a percent of sales for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023 were 17.0%, a 1.0 percentage point decrease versus the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022.

For the full year Fiscal 2023, the Company’s pretax profit margin was 9.3%, a 0.2 percentage point increase versus last year’s pretax profit margin of 9.1%. For the full year Fiscal 2023, the Company’s adjusted pretax profit margin was 9.7%, which excludes a 0.4 percentage point charge related to a write-down of the Company’s minority investment in Familia. This is a 0.1 percentage point increase versus the Company’s full year Fiscal 2022 adjusted pretax profit margin of 9.6%, which excluded a 0.5 percentage point debt extinguishment charge. Full year Fiscal 2023 pretax profit margin included an unplanned 0.3 percentage point shrink charge. The Company’s most recent full year Fiscal 2023 guidance had contemplated that shrink would be neutral to pretax profit margin versus the prior year.

Gross profit margin for full year Fiscal 2023 was 27.6%, a 0.9 percentage point decrease versus the prior year. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs as a percent of sales for the full year Fiscal 2023 were 17.9%, a 0.8 percentage point decrease 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 two percentage point negative impact on the Company’s net sales growth in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023 versus the prior year. The overall net impact of foreign currency exchange rates had a $.03 negative impact on fourth quarter Fiscal 2023 diluted earnings per share.

The movement in foreign currency exchange rates had a two percentage point negative impact on the Company’s net sales growth in the full year Fiscal 2023 versus the prior year. The overall net impact of foreign currency exchange rates had a $.06 negative impact on the full year Fiscal 2023 diluted earnings per share.

A table detailing the impact of foreign currency on TJX’s pretax earnings and 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 earnings per share does not include the impact currency exchange rates have on various transactions, which the Company refers to as “transactional foreign exchange.”

Inventory

Total inventories as of January 28, 2023 were $5.8 billion, compared with $6.0 billion at the end of Fiscal 2022. Consolidated inventories on a per-store basis as of January 28, 2023, including distribution centers, but excluding inventory in transit, the Company’s e-commerce sites, and Sierra stores, were up 1% on a reported basis (with inventory on a constant currency basis up 2%, which reflects inventory adjusted for the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, as described above). The Company is well-positioned to take advantage of the outstanding availability of quality, branded merchandise in the marketplace and flow fresh merchandise to its stores and online this spring.

Cash and Shareholder Distributions

For the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company generated $3.0 billion of operating cash flow. For the full year Fiscal 2023, the Company generated $4.1 billion of operating cash flow and ended the year with $5.5 billion of cash.

During the fourth quarter, the Company returned $791 million to shareholders. The Company repurchased a total of $450 million of TJX stock, retiring 5.7 million shares, and paid $341 million in shareholder dividends during the quarter. In Fiscal 2023, the Company returned a total of $3.6 billion to shareholders, which includes repurchasing a total of $2.25 billion of TJX stock, retiring 34.8 million shares, and paying $1.34 billion in shareholder dividends.

With the Company’s continued strong cash flow, TJX announced today that it intends to increase the regular quarterly dividend on its common stock expected to be declared in March 2023 and payable in June 2023 to $.3325 per share, subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. This would represent a 13% increase over the current 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 February 3, 2024. With $1.5 billion remaining at Fiscal 2023 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 $2.0 billion of TJX common stock from time to time. The new authorization represents approximately 2.2% of the Company’s outstanding shares at current prices. The new stock repurchase program marks the 23rd 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.

Divestiture of Familia

During Fiscal 2023, the Company announced and completed the divestiture of its minority investment in Familia. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $217.6 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, which negatively impacted first quarter Fiscal 2023 diluted earnings per share by $.19. Additionally, the Company realized a $54 million tax benefit in the third quarter of Fiscal 2023, which increased third quarter Fiscal 2023 diluted earnings per share by $.05. The combination of the first quarter impairment charge and the related third quarter tax benefit negatively impacted full year Fiscal 2023 diluted earnings per share by $.14.

First Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2024 Outlook

For the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company is planning overall comparable store sales to be up 2% to 3%. For the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company expects pretax profit margin to be in the range of 9.2% to 9.5% and diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $.68 to $.71.

For the fiscal year ending February 3, 2024, the Company is planning overall comparable store sales to be up 2% to 3%. For the 53-week fiscal year ending February 3, 2024, the Company expects pretax profit margin to be in the range of 10.1% to 10.3% and diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $3.39 to $3.51. The Company’s full year guidance includes an expected pretax margin benefit of approximately 0.1 percentage points and a diluted earnings per share benefit of approximately $.10 due to the 53rd week in the Company’s Fiscal 2024 calendar. Excluding these expected benefits, the Company expects full year Fiscal 2024 adjusted pretax profit margin to be in the range of 10.0% to 10.2% and adjusted diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $3.29 to $3.41.

Stores by Concept

During the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023, the Company increased its store count by 146 stores to a total of 4,835 stores and increased square footage by 3% over the prior year.

Fiscal 2023 U.S. Comparable Store Sales

For Fiscal 2023, the Company returned to its historical definition of comparable store sales. While stores in the U.S. were open for all of Fiscal 2022, a significant number of stores in TJX Canada and TJX International (Europe and Australia) experienced COVID-19 related temporary store closures and government-mandated shopping restrictions during Fiscal 2022. Therefore, the Company cannot measure year-over-year comparable store sales with Fiscal 2022 in these geographies in a meaningful way. As a result, the comparable stores included in the Fiscal 2023 measure consist of U.S. stores only, which, for clarity, the Company refers to as U.S. comparable store sales and are calculated against sales for the comparable periods in Fiscal 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company has used non-GAAP financial measures in this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures refer to financial information adjusted to exclude or include, as applicable from financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), items identified in this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release include adjusted diluted earnings per share, total U.S. net sales, sales growth on a constant currency basis, inventory on a constant currency basis, and adjusted pretax profit margin. The Company believes that the presentation of adjusted financial results is useful to investors as it provides additional information on comparisons between periods by excluding certain items that affect overall comparability. 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.

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.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Statements

  1. During the fourth quarter ended January 28, 2023, the Company returned a total of $0.8 billion to shareholders. The Company repurchased and retired 5.7 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $0.5 billion on a "trade date" basis and paid $0.3 billion in shareholder dividends. During the twelve months ended January 28, 2023, the Company returned a total of $3.6 billion to shareholders. The Company repurchased and retired 34.8 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $2.3 billion on a "trade date" basis and paid $1.3 billion in shareholder dividends. In February 2023, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had approved a new stock repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to an additional $2.0 billion of TJX common stock from time to time, with $1.5 billion still remaining as of January 28, 2023 under the existing stock repurchase program. TJX records the repurchase of its stock on a cash basis, and the amounts reflected in the financial statements may vary from the above amounts due to the timing of settlement of repurchases.
  2. During fiscal 2023, the Company announced and completed the divestiture of its minority investment in Familia. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $218 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, which negatively impacted first quarter fiscal 2023 earnings per share by $0.19. Additionally, the Company realized a $54 million tax benefit in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 in connection with the completion of this divestiture, which increased third quarter fiscal 2023 diluted earnings per share by $0.05. The combination of the first quarter impairment charge and the related third quarter tax benefit negatively impacted full year fiscal 2023 diluted earnings per share by $0.14.
