Capital Stock and Earnings Per Share

Note E.    Capital Stock and Earnings Per Share

Capital Stock: In February 2012, TJX effected a two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split (See Note A).

TJX repurchased and retired 27.0 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $1.5 billion during fiscal 2014, on a “trade date basis.” TJX reflects stock repurchases in its financial statements on a “settlement date” or cash basis. TJX had cash expenditures under repurchase programs of $1.5 billion in fiscal 2014, $1.3 billion in fiscal 2013 and $1.3 billion in fiscal 2012 and repurchased 27.3 million shares in fiscal 2014, 32.0 million shares in fiscal 2013 and 48.4 million shares in fiscal 2012. These expenditures were funded primarily by cash generated from operations. In April 2012, TJX completed the $1 billion stock repurchase program authorized in February 2011 and in October 2013 TJX completed the $2 billion stock repurchase program authorized in January 2012. In February 2013, TJX’s Board of Directors approved another stock repurchase program that authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $1.5 billion of TJX common stock from time to time.

Under the repurchase program authorized in February 2013, on a “trade date” basis, TJX repurchased 8.6 million shares of common stock at a cost of $530.2 million during fiscal 2014 and $969.8 million remained available at February 1, 2014 under this program.

All shares repurchased under the stock repurchase programs have been retired.

On January 31, 2014, TJX’s Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to an additional $2.0 billion of TJX common stock from time to time.

 

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

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 related fiscal period’s average price of TJX’s common stock. Such options are excluded because they would have an antidilutive effect. There were 4.7 million and 4.9 million such options excluded at the end of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively. There were no such options excluded at the end of fiscal 2012.
