CEO and President Comments

Ernie Herrman, Chief Executive Officer and President of The TJX Companies, Inc., stated, “I want to start by recognizing the dedication and commitment of our talented Associates who bring outstanding values on branded, quality merchandise to our customers every day. As to our results, I am very pleased that our second quarter pretax profit margin exceeded our plan and earnings per share were at the high end of our guidance. We believe our strong profitability speaks to the strength and flexibility of our off-price business model, sharp execution of our teams, and expense discipline. As to the top-line, U.S. comp sales for the second quarter came in lighter than we expected as we believe historically high inflation impacted consumer discretionary spending. While we saw more softness in our home categories, we were very pleased that comp sales in our overall apparel business at Marmaxx were slightly positive every month of the quarter. In addition, it was good to see the improved profitability of our international divisions. Looking ahead, while we are not immune to macro factors, we are convinced that the flexibility of our off-price business model and the value proposition we offer to a wide range of consumers will continue to serve us well, as we have seen throughout our 46-year history. We see a marketplace flush with off-price buying opportunities for branded, high quality product. We are excited about our many initiatives to drive customer traffic and sales for the fall and holiday selling season, and will be emphasizing our value leadership in our marketing. We remain focused on our long-term vision to become an increasingly profitable, $60-billion-plus revenue company.”

Margins

For the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company’s pretax profit margin was 9.2% which was above the Company’s plan and versus last year’s second quarter pretax profit margin of 8.7%. Second quarter Fiscal 2023 pretax profit margin was down 1.5 percentage points versus last year’s second quarter adjusted pretax profit margin of 10.7%, which excluded a 2.0 percentage point negative impact due to a debt extinguishment charge. Merchandise margin benefitted from a combination of strong markon and the Company’s pricing initiative, but was down due to 2.4 percentage points of incremental freight pressure. Incremental wage costs negatively impacted pretax profit margin by 0.8 percentage points.

Gross profit margin for the second quarter of Fiscal 2023 was 27.6%, a 1.8 percentage point decrease versus the second quarter of Fiscal 2022. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs as a percent of sales for the second quarter of Fiscal 2023 were 18.4%, flat versus the second quarter of Fiscal 2022.

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.

The movement in foreign currency exchange rates had a two percentage point negative impact on the Company’s net sales growth in the second quarter of Fiscal 2023 versus the prior year. The overall net impact of foreign currency exchange rates had a $.03 negative impact on second quarter Fiscal 2023 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 first half of Fiscal 2023 versus the prior year. The overall net impact of foreign currency exchange rates had a $.02 negative impact on the first half of Fiscal 2023 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 July 30, 2022 were $7.1 billion, compared with $5.1 billion at the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2022. Consolidated inventories on a per-store basis as of July 30, 2022, including the distribution centers, but excluding inventory in transit, the Company’s e-commerce sites, and Sierra stores, were up 33% on a reported basis (up 35% on a constant currency basis). The Company is comfortable with its inventory levels and well positioned to take advantage of the off-price buying opportunities it is seeing in the marketplace. Overall availability of quality, branded merchandise is outstanding and the Company is set up well to flow exciting selections and values to its stores and e-commerce sites throughout the fall and holiday selling season.

Cash and Shareholder Distributions

For the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company generated $641 million of operating cash flow and ended the quarter with $3.5 billion of cash.

During the second quarter, the Company returned over $1.0 billion to shareholders. The Company repurchased a total of $700 million of TJX stock, retiring 11.8 million shares, and paid $346 million in shareholder dividends during the quarter. For the first half of Fiscal 2023, the Company returned a total of $2.0 billion to shareholders, which includes repurchasing a total of $1.3 billion of TJX stock, retiring 21.4 million shares, and paying $653 million in shareholder dividends. The Company continues to expect to repurchase approximately $2.25 to $2.50 billion of TJX stock in Fiscal 2023. The Company may adjust this amount up or down depending on various factors.

Third Quarter, Fourth Quarter, and Full Year Fiscal 2023 Outlook

For the third quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company expects pretax profit margin to be 10.1% to 10.4% and diluted earnings per share to be $.77 to $.81. For the third quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company is planning U.S. comparable store sales to decrease 3% to 5% versus a 16% U.S. open-only comp store sales increase in the third quarter of Fiscal 2022.

For the full year Fiscal 2023, the Company is increasing its outlook for pretax profit margin. The Company now expects pretax profit margin to be 9.3% to 9.5% and adjusted pretax profit margin to be 9.7% to 9.9%, versus its previous guidance for pretax profit margin of 9.2% to 9.4% and adjusted pretax profit margin of 9.6% to 9.8%.

For the full year Fiscal 2023, the Company is updating its expectation for diluted earnings per share to $2.87 to $2.95 and adjusted diluted earnings per share to $3.05 to $3.13, versus its previous guidance for diluted earnings per share of $2.94 to $3.01 and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $3.13 to $3.20. For the full year Fiscal 2023, the Company is updating its expectation for U.S. comparable store sales to a decrease of 2% to 3%, versus its previous guidance of an increase of 1% to 2%. Full year Fiscal 2023 adjusted pretax profit margin and adjusted earnings per share plans exclude the negative impact from the first quarter Fiscal 2023 charge related to a write-down of the Company’s minority investment in Familia.

The Company’s third quarter and full year Fiscal 2023 outlook implies fourth quarter Fiscal 2023 pretax profit margin to be 10.1% to 10.4% and earnings per share of $.92 to $.96. The Company’s full year Fiscal 2023 outlook also implies U.S. comparable store sales in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023 to be flat to down 1%, versus a 13% U.S. open-only comp store sales increase in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022.

Stores by Concept

During the second quarter ended July 30, 2022, the Company increased its store count by 21 stores to a total of 4,736 stores and increased square footage by 0.5% over the previous quarter.

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-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.

Fiscal 2022 Open-Only Comp Store Sales

Due to the temporary closing of stores as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the Company’s historical definition of comp store sales was not applicable in Fiscal 2022. In order to provide a performance indicator for its stores, the Company temporarily reported open-only comp store sales. The Company’s open-only comp store sales calculation includes stores initially classified as comp stores at the beginning of Fiscal 2021. This measure reports the sales increase or decrease of these stores for the days the stores were open in Fiscal 2022 against sales for the same days in Fiscal 2020, prior to the emergence of the global pandemic.

The TJX Companies, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Statements

  1. During the second quarter ended July 30, 2022, the Company returned over $1.0 billion to shareholders, repurchasing and retiring 11.8 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $0.7 billion on a "trade date" basis and paying $0.3 billion in shareholder dividends. During the six months ended July 30, 2022, the Company returned a total of $2.0 billion to shareholders, repurchasing and retiring 21.4 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $1.3 billion on a "trade date" basis and paying $0.7 billion in shareholder dividends. In February 2022, 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, with $2.5 billion still remaining on all previously authorized programs at July 30, 2022. 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 the first quarter ended April 30, 2022, the Company announced that it has committed to divesting its minority investment in Familia, an off-price retailer that operates in Russia, and as a result, the Company completed an impairment analysis of this investment. Based on this analysis, the Company concluded that there was an other-than-temporary impairment of this investment and recorded an impairment charge of $218 million, representing the entirety of the Company's investment. This charge had a $0.19 negative impact on diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
