The discussion that follows relates to our 52-week fiscal year ended February 1, 2025 (fiscal 2025) and our 53-week fiscal year ended February 3, 2024 (fiscal 2024) and our 52-week fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 (fiscal 2026).

The following is a discussion of our consolidated operating results, followed by a discussion of our segment operating results. Discussions of fiscal 2023 items and year-to-year comparisons between fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 that are not included in this Form 10-K can be found in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 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 5,000 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

Highlights of our financial performance for fiscal 2025 include the following:

–Net sales increased 4% to $56.4 billion for fiscal 2025 versus $54.2 billion for fiscal 2024. As of February 1, 2025, the number of stores in operation increased approximately 3% and selling square footage increased approximately 2% compared to the end of fiscal 2024.

–Consolidated comp store sales increased 4% in fiscal 2025. See Net Sales below for the definition of comp store sales.

–Diluted earnings per share were $4.26 for fiscal 2025, compared to $3.86 for fiscal 2024, which included an estimated benefit of $0.10 from the 53rd week in fiscal 2024.

–Pre-tax profit margin (the ratio of pre-tax income to net sales) for fiscal 2025 was 11.5%. This was a 0.5 percentage point increase compared to 11.0% for fiscal 2024, which included an estimated 0.1 percentage point benefit from the 53rd week in fiscal 2024.

–Our cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs, ratio for fiscal 2025 was 69.4%, a 0.6 percentage point decrease compared to 70.0% for fiscal 2024.

–Our selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense ratio for fiscal 2025 was 19.4%, a 0.1 percentage point increase compared to 19.3% for fiscal 2024.

–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 and Sierra stores, were up 1% at the end of fiscal 2025 as compared to the prior year.

–During fiscal 2025, we returned $4.1 billion to our shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. A dividend of $0.375 per share was declared in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and paid in March 2025.

–We announced that we plan to enter Spain with our TK Maxx banner in fiscal 2027.

Equity Investments

During fiscal 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement for a joint venture with Grupo Axo, S.A.P.I de C.V. (“Axo”) to hold a 49% ownership stake in Multibrand Outlet Stores S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“MOS”) which operates off-price, physical store businesses in Mexico and includes a total of over 200 stores for its Promoda, Reduced, and Urban Store banners. We have the option to increase our ownership interest in the joint venture over the long term.During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we completed this investment for $193 million, which includes a purchase price of $179 million and acquisition costs of $14 million. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

During fiscal 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 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. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we completed this investment for $358 million, which includes a purchase price of $344 million and acquisition costs of $14 million. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

The results of our share of both of these investments are recorded on a one-quarter lag as their results are not expected to be available in time to be recorded in the concurrent period. These investments did not have a material impact on our fiscal 2025 results and we do not expect them to have a material impact on our fiscal 2026 results.

Recent Events and Trends

Global Economic Conditions and Industry Trends

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, which could adversely impact the global economy and our operating results. In particular, uncertainty remains regarding the potential impact on our direct imports, (with typically less than 10% of the merchandise that we purchase for our U.S. businesses directly imported from China), vendor and competitor pricing, consumer demand, tariff pass-throughs, and reciprocal or retaliatory tariffs.

Operating Results as a Percentage of Net Sales

The following table sets forth our consolidated operating results as a percentage of net sales.

Percentage of Net Sales

Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs 69.4 70.0

Selling, general and administrative expenses 19.4 19.3

Interest (income) expense, net (0.3) (0.3)

Income before income taxes* 11.5 % 11.0 %

*Figures may not foot due to rounding.

Net Sales

Net sales for fiscal 2025 totaled $56.4 billion, a 4% increase versus net sales of $54.2 billion for fiscal 2024. The increase includes a 4% increase in comp store sales, a 2% increase from non-comp store sales, a neutral impact from foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by a negative 2% estimated year-over-year impact from the 53rd week in fiscal 2024. Net sales from our e-commerce sites combined amounted to less than 2% of total sales for both fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024.

Comp store sales increased 4% for fiscal 2025 and increased 5% for fiscal 2024. Comp store sales for fiscal 2025 was driven by an increase in customer transactions. Both home comp store sales growth (as defined below) and apparel comp store sales growth (as defined below) generally performed in line with the overall comp store sales increase for fiscal 2025.

As of February 1, 2025, our store count increased approximately 3% and selling square footage increased approximately 2% compared to the same period last year.

Definition of Comparable Store Sales

We define comparable store sales, or comp store sales, to be sales of stores that have been in operation for all or a portion of two consecutive fiscal years, or, in other words, stores that are starting their third fiscal year of operation. In any given fiscal year, we calculate comp store 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 store sales percentage is immaterial.

Sales excluded from comp store sales (“non-comp store sales”) consist of sales from:

–New stores - stores that have not yet met the comp store sales criteria, which represents a substantial majority of non-comp store sales

–Stores that are closed permanently or for an extended period of time

–Sales from our e-commerce sites (starting with the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we will no longer exclude sales from our e-commerce sites from comp store sales, which we do not expect to have a material impact on such figures).

We determine which stores are included in the comp store sales calculation at the beginning of a fiscal year, and the classification remains constant throughout that year unless a store is closed permanently or for an extended period during that fiscal year.

Comp store 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 store sales may be referred to as “same store” sales by other retail companies. The method for calculating comp store sales varies across the retail industry; therefore, our measure of comp store sales may not be comparable to that of other retail companies. 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.

We define customer transactions to be the number of transactions in stores included in the comp store 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.

Revenues by Geography

The percentages of our consolidated revenues by geography for the last two fiscal years are as follows:

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 69.4% for fiscal 2025, a decrease of 0.6 percentage points compared to 70.0% of net sales for fiscal 2024.

The decrease in the cost of sales ratio, including buying and occupancy costs, was attributable to higher merchandise margin due to higher markon, lower freight costs and lower inventory shrink expense, partially offset by higher supply chain costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses, as a percentage of net sales, was 19.4% for fiscal 2025, an increase of 0.1 percentage points compared to 19.3% for fiscal 2024.

The increase in SG&A ratio for fiscal 2025 was due to incremental store wage and payroll costs, partially offset by a favorable year-over-year impact from a prior year reserve related to a German COVID program receivable and the year-over-year benefit from closing HomeGoods’ e-commerce business last year.

Interest (Income) Expense, net

The components of interest (income) expense, net for the last two fiscal years are summarized below:

Fiscal Year Ended

Interest expense $ 78 $ 82

Capitalized interest (2) (3)

Interest (income) expense, net $ (181) $ (170)

Interest (income) expense, net increased for fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024 due to an increase in interest income driven by a higher average cash balance.

Provision for Income Taxes

In 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development announced an Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting including Pillar Two Model Rules defining the global minimum tax, which calls for the taxation of large multinational corporations at a minimum rate of 15%. Subsequently multiple sets of administrative guidance have been issued. Many non-US tax jurisdictions have either recently enacted legislation to adopt certain components of the Pillar Two Model Rules beginning in 2024 with the adoption of additional components in later years or announced their plans to enact legislation in future years. These rules did not have a material impact on our financial statements for fiscal 2025 and did not materially increase our global tax costs on our fiscal 2025 financial statements. There remains uncertainty as to the final Pillar Two model rules. We are continuing to evaluate the impacts of enacted legislation and pending legislation to enact Pillar Two Model Rules in the non-US tax jurisdictions in which we operate.

The effective income tax rate was 25.0% for fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024. There were no significant changes to our effective income tax rate for fiscal 2025, compared to fiscal 2024.

Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Net income was $4.9 billion in fiscal 2025 compared to $4.5 billion in fiscal 2024. Diluted earnings per share in fiscal 2025 were $4.26 compared to $3.86 in fiscal 2024, which included an estimated benefit of $0.10 per share from the 53rd week in fiscal 2024. Foreign currency had a $0.01 positive impact on diluted earnings per share in fiscal 2025 compared to a neutral impact on diluted earnings per share in fiscal 2024.

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.

U.S. SEGMENTS

Marmaxx

Fiscal Year Ended

U.S. dollars in millions February 1,2025 February 3,2024

Segment profit margin 14.1 % 13.8 %

Comp store sales 4 % 6 %

Stores in operation at end of period:

Selling square footage at end of period (in millions):

Net Sales

Net sales for Marmaxx were $34.6 billion for fiscal 2025, an increase of 4% compared to $33.4 billion for fiscal 2024. The increase in net sales reflects a 4% increase from comp store sales and a 2% increase from non-comp store sales, partially offset by a negative 2% estimated year-over-year impact of the 53rd week in fiscal 2024.

The increase in comp store sales for fiscal 2025 was driven by an increase in customer transactions. While both Marmaxx home and apparel comp store sales growth were positive, home comp store sales growth outperformed apparel comp store sales growth for fiscal 2025. Geographically, comp store sales growth was positive across all regions.

Segment Profit Margin

Segment profit margin increased to 14.1% for fiscal 2025 compared to a segment profit margin of 13.8% for fiscal 2024. The increase in segment profit margin was primarily driven by higher merchandise margin, partially offset by incremental store wage and payroll costs and higher occupancy and administrative costs. Merchandise margin reflects higher markon and lower inventory shrink expense.

Our Marmaxx e-commerce sites, tjmaxx.com and marshalls.com, together with sierra.com, represented less than 3% of Marmaxx’s net sales for fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, and did not have a significant impact on year-over-year segment margin comparisons.

In fiscal 2026, we expect to open 40 Marmaxx net new stores and approximately 20 new Sierra stores, which would increase selling square footage by approximately 2%.

HomeGoods

Fiscal Year Ended

U.S. dollars in millions February 1,2025 February 3,2024

Segment profit margin 10.9 % 9.6 %

Comp store sales 4 % 3 %

Stores in operation at end of period:

Selling square footage at end of period (in millions):

Homesense 2 1

Net Sales

Net sales for HomeGoods were $9.4 billion for fiscal 2025, an increase of 4%, compared to $9.0 billion for fiscal 2024. The increase in net sales reflects a 4% increase from comp store sales and a 2% increase from non-comp store sales, partially offset by a negative 2% estimated year-over-year impact of the 53rd week in fiscal 2024.

The increase in comp store sales for fiscal 2025 reflected an increase in customer transactions, partially offset by a decrease in average basket. Geographically, comp store sales growth was strongest in the West and Midwest regions.

Segment Profit Margin

Segment profit margin increased to 10.9% for fiscal 2025 compared to a segment profit margin of 9.6% for fiscal 2024. The increase in segment profit margin for fiscal 2025 was primarily driven by higher merchandise margin and the year-over-year benefit from closing HomeGoods’ e-commerce business last year, partially offset by incremental store wage and payroll costs. Merchandise margin reflects lower freight costs and higher markon.

In fiscal 2026, we expect to open 30 new HomeGoods stores, of which 9 are expected to be Homesense stores. This would increase selling square footage by approximately 3%.

FOREIGN SEGMENTS

TJX Canada

Fiscal Year Ended

U.S. dollars in millions February 1,2025 February 3,2024

Segment profit margin 13.5 % 14.2 %

Winners 7 7

HomeSense 3 3

Marshalls 2 2

Net Sales

Net sales for TJX Canada were $5.2 billion for fiscal 2025, an increase of 3% compared to $5.0 billion for fiscal 2024. The increase in net sales reflects a 5% increase in comp store sales and a 2% increase in non-comp store sales, partially offset by a negative foreign currency exchange rate impact of 2% and a negative 2% estimated year-over-year impact of the 53rd week in fiscal 2024. The increase in comp store sales was driven by an increase in customer transactions.

Segment Profit Margin

Segment profit margin decreased to 13.5% for fiscal 2025 compared to a segment profit margin of 14.2% for fiscal 2024. The decrease for fiscal 2025 was primarily driven by incremental store wage and payroll costs, third-party supply chain exit costs this year, and the unfavorable year-over-year impact related to an insurance claim recovery last year.

In fiscal 2026, we expect to open 12 new stores in Canada, which would increase selling square footage by approximately 2%.

TJX International

Fiscal Year Ended

U.S. dollars in millions February 1,2025 February 3,2024

Segment profit margin 5.9 % 4.9 %

Comp store sales 4 % 3 %

Stores in operation at end of period:

TK Maxx Australia 84 80

Selling square footage at end of period (in millions):

Homesense 1 1

TK Maxx Australia 1 1

Net Sales

Net sales for TJX International were $7.2 billion for fiscal 2025, an increase of 6% compared to $6.8 billion for fiscal 2024. The increase in net sales reflects a 4% increase in comp store sales, a 3% increase from non-comp store sales and a positive foreign currency exchange rate impact of 1%, partially offset by a negative 2% estimated year-over-year impact of the 53rd week in fiscal 2024. The increase in comp store sales was driven by an increase in customer transactions.

E-commerce sales represented less than 4% of TJX International’s net sales for both fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024.

Segment Profit Margin

Segment profit margin increased to 5.9% for fiscal 2025 compared to a segment profit margin of 4.9% for fiscal 2024. This increase was due to higher merchandise margin, a favorable year-over-year impact from a prior year reserve related to a German COVID program receivable, partially offset by incremental store wage costs. Merchandise margin reflects higher markon and lower markdowns.

In fiscal 2026, we expect to open 22 net new stores in Europe and 6 new stores in Australia, which would increase selling square footage by approximately 3%.

GENERAL CORPORATE EXPENSE

Fiscal Year Ended

General corporate expense $ 739 $ 708

General corporate expense for segment reporting purposes represents those costs not specifically related to the operations of our segments. General corporate expenses are primarily included in SG&A expenses. The mark-to-market adjustment of our fuel and inventory hedges is included in cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs.

The increase in general corporate expense for fiscal 2025 was primarily driven by other administrative costs and share-based compensation costs, partially offset by the favorable year-over-year impacts related to the mark-to-market adjustments on inventory hedges.

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 February 1, 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 February 1, 2025, as described in Note J—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 February 1, 2025, we held $5.3 billion in cash. Approximately $1.4 billion of our cash was held by our foreign subsidiaries with $875 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 February 1, 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

Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.1 billion in both fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024. Our operating cash flows increased by $59 million compared to fiscal 2024 primarily due to a $390 million increase in net income, partially offset by a $215 million decrease in accrued expenses reflecting lower incentive compensation costs.

Investing Activities

Investing activities resulted in net cash outflows of $2.5 billion in fiscal 2025 and $1.7 billion in fiscal 2024. The cash outflows for both periods were primarily driven by capital expenditures. In addition, fiscal 2025 cash outflows include the purchase of our equity method investments related to our joint venture with Grupo Axo and a minority ownership position in BFL.

Net cash used in investing activities include capital expenditures for the last two fiscal years as set forth in the table below:

Fiscal Year Ended

Store renovations and improvements 788 725

Office and distribution centers 954 844

Total capital expenditures $ 1,918 $ 1,722

We expect our capital expenditures in fiscal 2026 will be in the range of approximately $2.1 billion to $2.2 billion, including approximately $1.0 billion to $1.1 billion for our offices and distribution centers (including information technology systems) to support growth, approximately $0.9 billion for store renovations and approximately $0.2 billion for new stores. We plan to fund these expenditures with our existing cash balances and through internally generated funds.

During fiscal 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement for a joint venture with Axo to hold a 49% ownership stake in MOS, Axo’s off-price, physical store business in Mexico. We have the option to increase our ownership interest in the joint venture over the long term. During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we completed this investment for $193 million, which includes a purchase price of $179 million and acquisition costs of $14 million. We and Axo both expect to make additional future investments in the joint venture to support the expected growth of the business.

During fiscal 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to make an investment for a 35% ownership stake in privately held BFL, representing a non-controlling, minority position. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we completed this investment for $358 million, which includes a purchase price of $344 million and acquisition costs of $14 million.

We funded these expenditures and investments with our existing cash balances and through internally generated funds.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities resulted in net cash outflows of $3.8 billion in fiscal 2025 compared to net cash outflows of $4.2 billion in fiscal 2024. The cash outflows for both periods were primarily driven by equity repurchases and dividend payments.

Debt

The cash outflows in fiscal 2024 were due to the repayment of our $500 million 2.500% ten-year Notes due May 2023 during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. For further information regarding long-term debt, see Note J—Long-Term Debt and Credit Lines of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Equity

Under our stock repurchase program, we paid $2.5 billion to repurchase and retire 22.3 million shares of our stock in fiscal 2025. We paid $2.5 billion to repurchase and retire 29 million shares of our stock in fiscal 2024.

In February 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a new stock repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to an additional $2.5 billion of our common stock from time to time. We currently plan to repurchase approximately $2 billion to $2.5 billion of stock under our stock repurchase programs in fiscal 2026. We determine the timing and amount of repurchases based on our assessment of various factors including excess cash flow, liquidity, economic and market conditions, our assessment of prospects for our business, legal requirements, and other factors. The timing and amount of these purchases may change. As of February 1, 2025, approximately $3.6 billion remained available under our existing stock repurchase programs. 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 which totaled $1.50 per share in fiscal 2025 and $1.33 per share in fiscal 2024. Cash payments for dividends on our common stock totaled $1.6 billion for fiscal 2025 and $1.5 billion for fiscal 2024. We expect to pay quarterly dividends for fiscal 2026 of $0.425 per share, or an annual dividend of $1.70 per share, subject to the declaration and approval by our Board of Directors. This would represent a 13% increase over the per share dividends declared and paid in fiscal 2025.

Contractual Obligations

See the descriptions of our financing arrangements, commitments and contingencies, and contractual obligations outlined below and within the following Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

–See Note J—Long-Term Debt and Credit Lines of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for future payments under long-term debt arrangements (including current installments).

–See Note L—Leases of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Operating lease liabilities exclude legally binding minimum lease payments for approximately 150 leases signed but not yet commenced and include options to extend lease terms that are now deemed reasonably certain of being exercised according to our Lease Accounting Policy. The balances do not include variable costs for insurance, real estate taxes, other operating expenses and, in some cases, rent payments based on a percentage of sales; these items totaled approximately one-third of the total minimum rent for fiscal 2025.

–See Note M—Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities, Current and Long Term of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for long-term liabilities for which it is not reasonably possible for us to predict when they may be paid, which includes $0.7 billion for employee compensation and benefits and $0.2 billion for uncertain tax positions.

–We also have non-cancellable purchase obligations under purchase orders for merchandise and under agreements for capital items, products and services used in our business, including executive employment and other agreements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

We prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP which requires us to make certain estimates and judgments that impact our reported results. These judgments and estimates are based on historical experience and other factors which we continually review and believe are reasonable. We consider our most critical accounting estimates, involving uncertainty requiring management estimates and judgments, to be those relating to the areas described below.

Inventory Valuation

We use the retail method for valuing inventory for all our businesses except TK Maxx in Australia. The businesses that utilize the retail method have some inventory that is initially valued at cost before the retail method is applied as it has not been fully processed for sale (i.e. inventory in transit and unprocessed inventory in our distribution centers). Under the retail method, the cost value of inventory and gross margins are determined by calculating a cost-to-retail ratio and applying it to the retail value of inventory. It involves management estimates with regard to markdowns and inventory shrinkage. Under the retail method, permanent markdowns are reflected in inventory valuation when the price of an item is reduced. We have a specific policy as to when and how markdowns are to be taken, greatly reducing management’s discretion and the need for management estimates as to markdowns. Inventory shrinkage requires estimating a shrinkage rate for interim periods; however, we take a full physical inventory near the fiscal year-end to determine shrinkage at year-end. We do not generally enter into arrangements with vendors that provide for rebates and allowances that could ultimately affect the value of inventory.

Reserves for Uncertain Tax Positions

Similar to many large corporations, our income and other tax returns and reports are regularly audited by federal, state and local tax authorities in the United States and in foreign jurisdictions where we operate, and such authorities may challenge positions we take. We are engaged in various administrative and judicial proceedings in multiple jurisdictions with respect to assessments, claims, deficiencies and refunds and other tax matters, which proceedings are in various stages of negotiation, assessment, examination, litigation and settlement. The outcomes of these proceedings are uncertain. In accordance with GAAP, we evaluate our uncertain tax positions based on our understanding of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date, and we accrue for exposure when we believe that it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the positions we have taken will not be sustained. However, in the next twelve months and in future periods, the amounts we accrue for uncertain tax positions from time to time or ultimately pay, as the result of the final resolutions of examinations, judicial or administrative proceedings, changes in facts, law, or legal interpretations, expiration of applicable statute of limitations or other resolutions of, or changes in, tax positions may differ either positively or negatively from the amounts we have accrued, and may result in reductions to or additions to accruals, refund claims or payments for periods not currently under examination or for which no claims have been made. Final resolutions of our tax positions or changes in accruals for uncertain tax positions could result in additional tax expense or benefit and could have a material impact on our results of operations of the period in which an examination or proceeding is resolved or in the period in which a changed outcome becomes probable and reasonably estimable.

Loss Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the Consolidated Financial Statements are issued that may result in a loss to us but will not be resolved until one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Our management, with the assistance of our legal counsel, assesses such contingent liabilities. Such assessments inherently involve the exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us or claims that may result in such proceedings, our legal counsel assists us in evaluating the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or claims as well as the perceived merits of the relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, we will accrue for the estimated liability in the Consolidated Financial Statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be reasonably estimated, we will disclose the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of the possible loss or a statement that such loss is not reasonably estimable.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

For a discussion of any new accounting pronouncements, see Note A—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K, including the dates of adoption and estimated effects on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We do not expect any other recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of business. Some potential market risks are discussed below:

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk on the translation of our foreign operations into the U.S. dollar and on purchases of goods in currencies that are not the local currencies where the goods are sold and on intercompany debt and interest payable between and among our domestic and international operations. Our currency risk primarily relates to our activity in the Canadian dollar, British pound and Euro. As more fully described in Note E—Financial Instruments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we use derivative financial instruments to hedge a portion of certain merchandise purchase commitments, primarily at our international operations, and a portion of our intercompany transactions with and within our international operations. We enter into derivative contracts only for the purpose of hedging the underlying economic exposure. We utilize currency forward and swap contracts, designed to offset the gains or losses on the underlying exposures. The contracts are executed with banks we believe are creditworthy and are denominated in currencies of major industrial countries. Our foreign exchange risk management policy prohibits us from using derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes and we do not use any leveraged derivative financial instruments. We have performed a sensitivity analysis assuming a hypothetical 10% movement in the translation of our foreign operations into our reporting currency. The analysis indicated a potential impact of approximately $112 million on our pre-tax income in fiscal 2025 and approximately $105 million in fiscal 2024.

EQUITY PRICE AND OTHER MARKET RISK

The assets of our funded qualified pension plan, a portion of which are equity securities, are subject to the risks and uncertainties of the financial markets. We invest the pension assets (described further in Note I—Pension Plans and Other Retirement Benefits of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) in a manner that attempts to manage our exposure to market uncertainties. Investments, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility risks. A significant decline in the financial markets could adversely affect the value of our pension plan assets and the funded status of our pension plan, resulting in increased required contributions to the plan or other plan-related liabilities. Our pension plan investment policy prohibits the use of derivatives for speculative purposes.

ITEM 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

The information required by this Item may be found on pages F-1 through F-36 of this annual report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Not applicable.

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure 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 defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’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.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 identified in connection with our Chief Executive Officer’s and Chief Financial Officer’s evaluation that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:

–Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of TJX;

–Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of TJX are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of TJX; and

–Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of TJX’s assets that could have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 1, 2025 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on that evaluation, management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of February 1, 2025.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited and reported on the Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein, has audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 1, 2025, and has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting included herein.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The TJX Companies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of shareholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 1, 2025, including the related notes and schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for each of the three years in the period ended February 1, 2025 appearing under Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of February 1, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 1, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 1, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

F-2

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Income Tax Provision

As described in Note K to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.6 billion for the year ended February 1, 2025 and has a deferred tax liability net of deferred tax assets of $8 million, including a valuation allowance of $51 million, as of February 1, 2025. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, as well as multiple state, local and foreign jurisdictions. The use of estimates and judgments, as well as the interpretation and application of complex tax laws is required by management to determine its provision for income taxes.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the provision for income taxes is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when determining the provision for income taxes, which led to (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures relating to the provision for income taxes.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the provision for income taxes. These procedures also included, among others, testing the provision for income taxes, including the rate reconciliation, current and deferred tax provision, and the application of tax laws and regulations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note A. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of The TJX Companies, Inc. (referred to as “TJX” or “the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the Consolidated Financial Statements of all of TJX’s subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All of the Company's activities are conducted by TJX or its subsidiaries and are consolidated in these Consolidated Financial Statements. 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.

Fiscal Year

TJX’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to the last day of January of each year. The fiscal year ended February 1, 2025 (“fiscal 2025”) is a 52-week fiscal year. The fiscal year ended February 3, 2024 (“fiscal 2024”) was a 53-week fiscal year, and the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023 (“fiscal 2023”) was a 52-week fiscal year. Fiscal 2026 will be a 52-week fiscal year and will end January 31, 2026.

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.

Summary of Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Net Sales

Net sales consist primarily of merchandise sales, which are recorded net of a reserve for estimated returns, any discounts and sales taxes, for the sales of merchandise both within TJX’s stores and online. Net sales also include an immaterial amount of other revenues that represent less than 1% of total revenues, including revenue generated by the TJX-branded credit card program. In addition, certain customers, primarily Associates, may receive discounts that are accounted for as consideration reducing the transaction price. Merchandise sales from TJX’s stores are recognized at the point of sale when TJX provides the merchandise to the customer. The performance obligation is fulfilled at this point when the customer has obtained control by paying for and leaving with the merchandise. Merchandise sales made online are recognized when the product has been shipped, which is when legal title has passed and when TJX is entitled to payment, and the customer has obtained the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the goods. Shipping and handling activities related to online sales occur after the customer obtains control of the goods. TJX’s policy is to treat shipping costs as part of its fulfillment center costs within operating expenditures. As a result, shipping fee revenues received are recognized when control of the goods transfer to the customer and are recorded as net sales. Shipping and handling costs incurred by TJX are included in cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs. TJX disaggregates revenue by segment, see Note G—Segment Information.

Deferred Gift Card Revenue

Proceeds from the sale of gift cards as well as the value of store cards issued to customers as a result of a return or exchange are deferred until the customers use the cards to acquire merchandise, as TJX does not fulfill its performance obligation until the gift card has been redeemed. While gift cards have an indefinite life, substantially all are redeemed in the first year of issuance.

F-9

The following table presents deferred gift card revenue activity:

Balance, beginning of year $ 773 $ 721

Effect of exchange rate changes on deferred revenue (8) (1)

Balance, end of year $ 824 $ 773

In addition to the deferred gift card activity presented in the table above, TJX recognized approximately $1.9 billion in fiscal 2023. 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. Based on historical experience, the Company estimates the amount of gift cards and store cards that will not be redeemed (referred to as breakage) and, to the extent allowed by local law, these amounts are amortized into income over the estimated redemption period. Revenue recognized from breakage was $38 million in fiscal 2025, $36 million in fiscal 2024 and $44 million in fiscal 2023.

Sales Return Reserve

The Company's products are generally sold with a right of return and the Company may provide other credits or incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. The Company has elected to apply the portfolio practical expedient. The Company estimates the variable consideration using the expected value method when calculating the returns reserve because the difference in applying it to the individual contract would not differ materially. Returns are estimated based on historical experience and are required to be established and presented at the gross sales value with an asset established for the estimated value of the merchandise returned separately from the refund liability. Liabilities for return allowances are included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and the estimated value of the merchandise to be returned is included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Consolidated Statements of Income Classifications

Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs, includes the cost of merchandise sold including foreign currency gains and losses on merchandise purchases denominated in other currencies; gains and losses on inventory and fuel-related derivative contracts; asset retirement obligation costs; divisional occupancy costs (including real estate taxes, utility and maintenance costs and fixed asset depreciation); the costs of operating distribution centers; payroll, benefits and travel costs directly associated with buying inventory; and systems costs related to the buying and tracking of inventory.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include store payroll, benefits and supplies costs; communication costs; credit and check expenses; advertising; administrative and field management payroll, benefits and travel costs; corporate administrative costs and depreciation; gains and losses on non-inventory related foreign currency exchange contracts; and other miscellaneous income and expense items.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

TJX generally considers highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. If applicable, investments with maturities greater than 90 days but less than one year at the date of purchase are included in short-term investments. These investments are classified as trading securities and are stated at fair value. Investments are classified as either short-term or long-term based on their original maturities. TJX’s investments are primarily institutional money market funds, bank investment products with major banks (such as time deposits), and high-grade commercial paper.

As of February 1, 2025, TJX’s cash and cash equivalents held outside the U.S. were $1.4 billion, of which $875 million was held in countries where TJX has the intention to reinvest any undistributed earnings indefinitely.

F-10

Merchandise Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. TJX uses the retail method for valuing inventories at all of its businesses, except TK Maxx in Australia which is immaterial to TJX’s total inventory. The businesses that utilize the retail method have some inventory that is initially valued at cost before the retail method is applied as that inventory has not been fully processed for sale (i.e. inventory in transit and unprocessed inventory in the Company’s distribution centers). Under the retail method, TJX utilizes a permanent markdown strategy and lowers the cost value of the inventory that is subject to markdown at the time the retail prices are lowered in the stores. TJX records inventory at the time title transfers, which is typically at the time when inventory is shipped. As a result, Merchandise inventories on TJX’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include in-transit inventory of $1.6 billion at February 1, 2025 and $1.3 billion at February 3, 2024. Comparable amounts were reflected in Accounts payable at those dates.

Common Stock and Equity

Equity transactions consist primarily of the repurchase by TJX of its common stock under its stock repurchase programs and the recognition of compensation expense and issuance of common stock under TJX’s Stock Incentive Plan. Under TJX’s stock repurchase programs, the Company repurchases its common stock on the open market. The par value of the shares repurchased is charged to Common stock with the excess of the purchase price over par first charged against any available Additional paid-in capital (“APIC”) and the balance charged to Retained earnings. Due to the volume of share repurchases under previous programs, TJX has historically had no remaining balance in APIC. All shares repurchased have been retired.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) introduced a 1% excise tax after December 31, 2022 on the fair market value of certain stock that is repurchased during the taxable year. The taxable amount is reduced by the fair market value of certain issuances of stock throughout the year. Any excise tax incurred on repurchases is recognized as part of the cost of the repurchase.

Shares issued under TJX’s Stock Incentive Plan are issued from authorized but unissued shares, and proceeds received are recorded by increasing common stock for the par value of the shares with the excess over par added to APIC. A deferred tax asset is recorded upon expensing of stock compensation in the financial statements. This deferred tax asset is recognized upon the exercise of the related stock grants. Any excess tax benefits or deficiencies are included in the provision for income taxes. The par value of performance share units and restricted stock units is added to common stock when shares are delivered following performance measurement date or service period to the extent vesting requirements have been achieved. The fair value of stock awards and units are added to APIC as the awards are amortized into earnings over the related requisite service periods.

Share-Based Compensation

TJX accounts for share-based compensation by estimating the fair value of each award on the date of grant. TJX uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options awarded and the market price on the grant date for stock awards. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period for each award with forfeitures recognized as they occur. Performance-based awards are evaluated quarterly for probability of vesting and performance achievement levels. See Note H—Stock Incentive Plan for a detailed discussion of share-based compensation.

Interest (Income) Expense, net

TJX’s interest (income) expense, net is presented net of capitalized interest and interest income. The following is a summary of interest (income) expense, net:

Fiscal Year Ended

Interest expense $ 78 $ 82 $ 91

Capitalized interest (2) (3) (7)

Interest (income) expense, net $ (181) $ (170) $ 6

TJX capitalizes interest during the active construction period of major capital projects and adds the interest to the related assets.

F-11

Property and Equipment

For financial reporting purposes, TJX provides for depreciation and amortization of property using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Buildings are depreciated over 33 years. Leasehold costs and improvements are generally amortized over their useful life or the committed lease term (typically 10 years to 15 years), whichever is shorter. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated over 3 to 10 years. Depreciation and amortization expense for property was $1.1 billion in fiscal 2025, $958 million in fiscal 2024, and $879 million in fiscal 2023. TJX had no property held under finance leases during fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 or fiscal 2023. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant costs incurred for internally developed software are capitalized and amortized, generally over 5 years. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of disposed assets and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated, and any gain or loss is included in income. Pre-opening costs, including rent, are expensed as incurred.

Lease Accounting

Operating leases are included in “Operating lease right of use assets,” “Current portion of operating lease liabilities,” and “Long-term operating lease liabilities” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right of use (“ROU”) assets represent TJX’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent TJX’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. At the inception of the arrangement, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease based on assessment of the terms and conditions of the contract. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at possession date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The majority of the Company’s leases are retail store locations, and the possession date is typically 30 to 60 days prior to the opening of the store and generally occurs before the commencement of the lease term, as specified in the lease. TJX’s lessors do not provide an implicit rate, nor is one readily available, therefore the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at possession date in determining the present value of future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is calculated based on the US Consumer Discretionary yield curve and adjusted for collateralization and foreign currency impact for TJX International and Canada leases. The operating lease ROU assets also include any acquisition costs offset by lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms include options to extend the lease, which will be included in the operating lease ROU asset and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term within “Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs”. See Note L—Leases for a detailed discussion of lease accounting.

Goodwill and Tradenames

Goodwill includes the excess of the purchase price paid over the carrying value of the minority interest acquired in fiscal 1990 in TJX’s former 83%-owned subsidiary and represents goodwill associated with the TJ Maxx chain, which is included in the Marmaxx segment. The Company’s goodwill also includes the excess of cost over the estimated fair market value of the net assets acquired by TJX in the purchase of Winners in fiscal 1991, included in TJX Canada, as well as the purchase of Trade Secret in fiscal 2016, which was re-branded under the TK Maxx name during fiscal 2018 and is included in TJX International.

The following is a roll forward of goodwill by segment:

In millions Marmaxx TJX Canada TJX International Total

Effect of exchange rate changes on goodwill — 0 (2) (2)

Effect of exchange rate changes on goodwill — (0) (1) (1)

Goodwill is considered to have an indefinite life and accordingly is not amortized.

Tradenames, which are included in other assets, are the value assigned to the name “Marshalls,” acquired by TJX in fiscal 1996 as part of the acquisition of the Marshalls chain, the value assigned to the name “Sierra Trading Post,” acquired by TJX in fiscal 2013 and the value assigned to the name “Trade Secret,” acquired by TJX in fiscal 2016. The tradenames were valued utilizing the relief from royalty method, which calculates the discounted present value of assumed after-tax royalty payments. The Marshalls tradename is considered to have an indefinite life and accordingly is not amortized.

F-12

The following is a roll forward of tradenames:

Fiscal Year Ended

Definite-lived intangible assets:

Sierra Trading Post $ 39 $ (39) $ — $ 39 $ (39) $ —

Indefinite-lived intangible asset:

TJX occasionally acquires or licenses other trademarks to be used in connection with private label merchandise. Such trademarks are included in other assets and are amortized to cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs, over their useful life, generally from 7 to 10 years.

Goodwill, tradenames and trademarks, and the related accumulated amortization or impairment if any, are included in the respective segment to which they relate.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Goodwill and Tradenames

TJX evaluates long-lived assets, including tradenames that are amortized and operating lease right of use assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. This evaluation is performed at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows which are largely independent of other groups of assets, generally at the individual store level for fixed assets and operating lease right of use assets, and at the reporting unit for tradenames that are amortized. If indicators of impairment are identified, an undiscounted cash flow analysis is performed to determine if the carrying value of the asset or asset group is recoverable. If the cash flow is less than the carrying value then an impairment charge will be recorded to the extent the fair value of an asset or asset group is less than the carrying value of that asset or asset group. This resulted in immaterial impairment charges on operating lease ROU assets and store fixed assets in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023. There were no impairments related to tradenames in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, or fiscal 2023.

Goodwill and indefinite life tradenames are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred and at least annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Goodwill is tested for impairment by using a quantitative assessment by comparing the carrying value of the related reporting unit to its fair value. An impairment exists when this analysis, using typical valuation models such as the discounted cash flow method, shows that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company may assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, including goodwill. The assessment of qualitative factors is optional and at the Company’s discretion. Indefinite life tradenames are tested for impairment by comparing their carrying value to their fair value, which is determined by calculating the discounted present value of assumed after-tax royalty payments. In fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, the Company bypassed the qualitative assessment and performed the quantitative impairment test. There were no impairments related to the Company’s goodwill or indefinite life tradenames in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024, or fiscal 2023.

Advertising Costs

TJX expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $617 million for fiscal 2025, $573 million for fiscal 2024 and $507 million for fiscal 2023.

Foreign Currency Translation

TJX’s foreign assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at fiscal year-end exchange rates with resulting translation gains and losses included in shareholders’ equity as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. Activity of the foreign operations that affect the Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows is translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal year.

Loss Contingencies

TJX records a reserve for loss contingencies when it is both probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. TJX evaluates pending litigation and other contingencies at least quarterly and adjusts the reserve for such contingencies for changes in probable and reasonably estimable losses. TJX includes an estimate for related legal costs at the time such costs are both probable and reasonably estimable.

F-13

Equity Investments

Multibrand Outlet Stores

During fiscal 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for a joint venture with Grupo Axo, S.A.P.I de C.V. (“Axo”) to hold a 49% ownership stake in Multibrand Outlet Stores S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“MOS”), which operates off-price, physical store businesses 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. During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, TJX completed this investment for $193 million, which includes a purchase price of $179 million and acquisition costs of $14 million. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and recorded in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, the carrying value of the Company’s equity investment in MOS was $168 million, which exceed its share of MOS’ net assets by approximately $133 million. All of this difference is comprised of goodwill and tradenames. Tradenames are definite-lived intangible assets and are amortized straight-line over their useful lives of 10 years. As of February 1, 2025, the revaluation of the investment from Mexican Pesos to the U.S. dollar resulted in a cumulative translation loss and reduced the carrying value of the investment by $11 million. The cumulative translation loss has been recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.

TJX reports the results of its share of the investments in MOS 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 Company’s investment are recorded in Selling, general & administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Income. The investment did not have a material impact on its fiscal 2025 results.

Brands for Less

During fiscal 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 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. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, TJX completed this investment for $358 million, which includes a purchase price of $344 million and acquisition costs of $14 million. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and is recorded in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, the carrying value of the Company’s equity investment in BFL was $336 million, which exceed its share of BFL net assets by approximately $292 million. All of this difference is comprised 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.

TJX will report the results of its share of the investment with 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 investment in BFL will be recorded in Selling, general & administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Income. The investment did not have a material impact on its fiscal 2025 results.

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 the end of fiscal 2025, the Company determined that no impairments of its equity method investments existed.

Familia

In fiscal 2020, the Company acquired a minority ownership stake in privately held Familia, an off-price retailer of apparel and home fashions domiciled in Luxembourg that operates stores throughout Russia. During fiscal 2023, the Company announced that it had committed to divesting its minority investment, resulting in an impairment charge of $218 million representing the entire carrying value of the Company’s investment. Additionally, the Company realized a $54 million tax benefit when the Company completed the divestiture of this investment during the third quarter ended October 29, 2022. See Note F—Fair Value Measurements for additional information.

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.

F-14

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. The Company is currently monitoring the status of these rules and any potential impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements and financial statement disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance related to improvements to reportable segment disclosures. The new standard improves financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. The Company adopted this standard as of February 1, 2025, on a retrospective basis. Refer to Note G—Segment Information for the impact upon adoption of the new required disclosures.

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 $3.6 billion available for repurchase as of February 1, 2025.

The following table provides share repurchases, excluding applicable excise tax:

Fiscal Year Ended

Total number of shares repurchased and retired 22.3 29.0 34.9

All shares repurchased under the stock repurchase programs have been retired. These expenditures were funded by cash generated from operations.

TJX has 5 million shares of authorized but unissued preferred stock, $1 par value.

F-16

Earnings Per Share

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Fiscal Year Ended

Basic earnings per share:

Diluted earnings per share:

Assumed exercise/vesting of stock options and awards 14 13 12

Diluted earnings per share $ 4.26 $ 3.86 $ 2.97

Cash dividends declared per share $ 1.50 $ 1.33 $ 1.18

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, 5 million, and 6 million such options excluded at the end of fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, 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.

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. The hedge agreements outstanding at February 1, 2025 relate to approximately 50% of TJX’s estimated notional diesel fuel requirements for fiscal 2026. These diesel fuel hedge agreements will settle throughout fiscal 2026 and the first month 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.

F-17

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 February 1, 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 buying function being centralized in the U.K. 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.

The following is a summary of TJX’s derivative financial instruments, related fair value and balance sheet classification at February 1, 2025:

Fair value hedges:

Intercompany balances, primarily debt:

Economic hedges for which hedge accounting was not elected:

Intercompany billings in TJX International, primarily merchandise:

Merchandise purchase commitments:

Total fair value of derivative financial instruments $ 53.1 $ (18.1) $ 35.0

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 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:
