The TJX Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TJX), the leading off-price apparel and home fashions retailer in the U.S. and worldwide, today announced sales and operating results for the third quarter ended October 28, 2023. Net sales for the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 were $13.3 billion, an increase of 9% versus the third quarter of Fiscal 2023. Overall comp store sales increased 6%. Net income for the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 was $1.2 billion and diluted earnings per share were $1.03, up 13% versus $.91 in the third quarter of Fiscal 2023. Third quarter Fiscal 2024 diluted earnings per share were up 20% versus last year’s third quarter adjusted diluted earnings per share of $.86, which excluded a $.05 tax benefit related to the divestiture of the Company’s minority investment in Familia. In the third quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company closed its HomeGoods e-commerce business, which was not contemplated in the Company’s guidance and negatively impacted diluted earnings per share by approximately $.03. Third quarter Fiscal 2024 diluted earnings per share also included an unplanned benefit of approximately $.03 from the timing of certain expenses which the Company expects will reverse out in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024.

For the first nine months of Fiscal 2024, net sales were $37.8 billion, an increase of 7% versus the first nine months of Fiscal 2023. Overall comp store sales for the first nine months of Fiscal 2024 increased 5%. Net income for the first nine months of Fiscal 2024 was $3.1 billion.

For the first nine months of Fiscal 2024, diluted earnings per share were up 19% versus adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.22 in the first nine months of Fiscal 2023, which excluded a $.14 net-of-tax charge related to a write-down and the divestiture of the Company’s minority investment in Familia.

CEO and President Comments

Ernie Herrman, Chief Executive Officer and President of The TJX Companies, Inc., stated, “I am extremely pleased with our third quarter performance and strong execution of our teams as our comp store sales, pretax profit margin, and earnings per share all exceeded our expectations. I am particularly pleased with the results at our Marmaxx and HomeGoods divisions, which delivered terrific comp sales increases entirely driven by customer traffic. Customer traffic was up across all divisions, our overall apparel sales remained very strong, and home sales were outstanding and accelerated sequentially versus the second quarter. Across our geographies and wide customer demographic, our values and exciting, treasure-hunt shopping experience continued to resonate with consumers. With our above-plan results in the third quarter, we are raising our full year guidance for comp store sales and earnings per share. The fourth quarter is off to a strong start, and we are pursuing the plentiful deals we are seeing for great brands and great fashions in the marketplace. We are strongly positioned as a shopping destination for gifts this holiday selling season and are convinced that our values and fresh shipments to our stores and online throughout the season will be a major draw again this year. Going forward, we continue to see excellent opportunities to grow sales and customer traffic, capture market share, and drive the profitability of our Company.”

Margins

For the third quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company’s pretax profit margin was 12.0%, above the Company’s plan and 0.8 percentage points above last year’s third quarter pretax profit margin of 11.2%. The Company’s pretax profit margin was above its plan primarily due to expense leverage on the Company’s above-plan sales and an approximately 0.4 percentage point benefit from the timing of certain expenses. The Company expects this unplanned benefit from the timing of expenses will reverse out in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024. The closing of HomeGoods’ e-commerce business was not contemplated in the Company’s guidance and had an approximately 0.3 percentage point negative impact to third quarter Fiscal 2024 pretax profit margin.

Gross profit margin for the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 was 31.1%, a 2.0 percentage point increase versus the third quarter of Fiscal 2023. This increase was driven by a higher merchandise margin due to a significant benefit from lower freight costs as well as expense leverage on the Company’s above-plan sales.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs as a percent of sales for the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 were 19.4%, a 1.4 percentage point increase versus the third quarter of Fiscal 2023. This increase was primarily due to incremental store wage and payroll costs, higher incentive compensation accruals, and approximately 0.3 percentage points of costs from closing HomeGoods’ e-commerce business.

Net interest income benefitted third quarter Fiscal 2024 pretax profit margin by 0.3 percentage points 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 one percentage point positive impact on the Company’s net sales growth in the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 versus the prior year. The overall net impact of foreign currency exchange rates had a $.02 positive impact on third quarter Fiscal 2024 diluted earnings per share.

The movement in foreign currency exchange rates had a one percentage point positive impact on the Company’s net sales growth in the first nine months of Fiscal 2024 versus the prior year. The overall net impact of foreign currency exchange rates had a $.01 positive impact on the first nine months of Fiscal 2024 diluted earnings per share.

A table detailing the impact of foreign currency on TJX’s net sales, 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 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.”

Inventory

Total inventories as of October 28, 2023 were $8.3 billion, compared to $8.3 billion at the end of third quarter Fiscal 2023. Consolidated inventories on a per-store basis as of October 28, 2023, including distribution centers, but excluding inventory in transit, the Company’s e-commerce sites, and Sierra stores, were flat on both a reported and constant currency basis. Constant currency basis reflects inventory adjusted for the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, if any, as described above. The Company is in a great position to take advantage of an outstanding marketplace that is loaded with quality, branded goods and deliver an ever-changing assortment of exciting gifts to its stores and online throughout this holiday season.

Cash and Shareholder Distributions

For the third quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company generated $1.2 billion of operating cash flow and ended the quarter with $4.3 billion of cash.

During the third quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company returned $1.0 billion to shareholders. The Company repurchased a total of $650 million of TJX stock, retiring 7.2 million shares, and paid $380 million in shareholder dividends during the quarter. During the first nine months of Fiscal 2024, the Company returned a total of $2.8 billion to shareholders, which includes repurchasing a total of $1.7 billion of TJX stock, retiring 20.4 million shares, and paying $1.1 billion in shareholder dividends.

The Company now expects to repurchase approximately $2.25 to $2.5 billion of TJX stock during the fiscal year ending February 3, 2024. The Company may adjust this amount 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.

Pension Payout Offer

In the second quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company offered eligible, former TJX Associates who had not yet commenced their pension benefit an opportunity to receive a voluntary lump sum payment of their vested pension plan benefit. At the end of the offer period, the payout amount, based on participation rate, did not meet the threshold to record a non-cash settlement charge. Therefore, the Company does not have measures excluding that charge to provide in the third quarter of Fiscal 2024, as it had previously expected.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2024 Outlook

For the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company continues to expect overall comparable store sales to be up 3% to 4%. The Company now expects pretax profit margin to be in the range of 10.4% to 10.6% and diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.07 to $1.10. The Company’s fourth quarter Fiscal 2024 outlook includes an expected pretax profit margin benefit of approximately 0.4 percentage points and a diluted earnings per share benefit of approximately $.10 due to the extra week in the Company’s fourth quarter Fiscal 2024 calendar. Excluding these expected benefits, the Company is now expecting fourth quarter 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 $.97 to $1.00. The Company’s fourth quarter Fiscal 2024 outlook now includes a negative 0.4 percentage point impact to adjusted pretax profit margin and a negative $.03 impact to diluted earnings per share from the expected reversal of the third quarter Fiscal 2024 benefit from the timing of expenses.

For the fiscal year ending February 3, 2024, the Company is now expecting overall comparable store sales to be up 4% to 5%. For the 53-week fiscal year ending February 3, 2024, the Company expects pretax profit margin to be approximately 10.8% and is increasing its outlook for diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $3.71 to $3.74. The Company’s full-year guidance includes an expected pretax profit margin benefit of approximately 0.1 percentage point 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 approximately 10.7% and now expects adjusted diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $3.61 to $3.64.

Stores by Concept

During the third quarter ended October 28, 2023, the Company increased its store count by 50 stores to a total of 4,934 stores and increased square footage by 1% versus the prior quarter.

Comparable Store Sales

For Fiscal 2023 and 2024, the Company returned to its historical definition of comparable store sales. However, 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, in Fiscal 2023, the Company could not 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 consisted of U.S. stores only, which, for clarity, the Company referred to as U.S. comparable store sales and were calculated against sales for the comparable periods in Fiscal 2022. For Fiscal 2022, due to the temporary closing of stores as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the Company reported open-only comparable store sales. This measure reported the sales increase or decrease of stores initially classified as comp stores at the beginning of Fiscal 2021 for the days they were open in Fiscal 2022 against sales of those stores for the same days in Fiscal 2020. Comparable store sales for a category such as home or apparel include sales from merchandise within such category combined across all divisions at the stores that fall within the Company’s definition of comparable stores for such period.

Global Corporate Responsibility Report

The Company issued its 2023 Global Corporate Responsibility Report during the third quarter of Fiscal 2024. The report, covering the Company’s programs and progress within the Company’s four reporting areas of workplace, communities, environmental sustainability, and responsible business, is available on TJX.com.

As part of the Company’s voluntary corporate responsibility disclosure, the report also includes greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other corporate responsibility-related data tables, as well as an index for select metrics from the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

TJX has been reporting on its corporate responsibility efforts since 2011 and through this work, strives to make a meaningful impact on the world, reflecting its core values of honesty, integrity, and treating each other with dignity and respect.

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 sales growth on a constant currency basis, inventory on a constant currency basis, adjusted pretax profit margin, and adjusted diluted earnings per share. The Company believes that the presentation of adjusted financial measures 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

The TJX Companies, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Statements

  1. During the third quarter ended October 28, 2023, the Company returned $1.0 billion to shareholders, repurchasing and retiring 7.2 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $650 million on a "trade date" basis and paying $380 million in shareholder dividends. During the nine months ended October 28, 2023, the Company returned $2.8 billion to shareholders, repurchasing and retiring 20.4 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $1.7 billion on a "trade date" basis and paying $1.1 billion in shareholder dividends. In February 2023, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had approved a new stock repurchase program that authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $2.0 billion of TJX common stock from time to time. Under this program, TJX had approximately $1.8 billion available for repurchase as of October 28, 2023. 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 representing the entire carrying value of the investment. Subsequently, in the third quarter when the Company completed the divestiture of this investment, the Company realized a $54 million tax benefit, or $0.05 positive impact to diluted earnings per share. For the first nine months of Fiscal 2023, the combination of these resulted in a $0.14 negative impact to diluted earnings per share.
