      FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 19, 2014--The TJX Companies,
      Inc. (NYSE: TJX), the leading off-price retailer of apparel and home

      consolidated comparable store sales increased 3% over last year&#8217;s
      reported 4% increase. Net income for the second quarter was $518 million
      and diluted earnings per share were $.73. Excluding a debt
      extinguishment charge of $.02 per share, adjusted diluted earnings per

    </p>
    <p>
      Carol Meyrowitz, Chief Executive Officer of The TJX Companies, Inc.,
      stated, &#8220;I am very pleased with our second quarter performance.
      Consolidated comp store sales were up 3% over 4% growth last year, at
      the high end of our plan, and adjusted earnings per share of $.75 were
      up 14% over last year&#8217;s 18% increase, exceeding our expectations. Our
      customer traffic gained momentum throughout the quarter, and was
      positive in July. Further, we are pleased with our solid merchandise
      margins as well as the improved performance of our apparel businesses.
      We are now raising our full year adjusted earnings per share guidance to
      reflect our above-plan second quarter results. The third quarter is off
      to a solid start and we are excited about our opportunities for the
      second half of the year. We entered the third quarter in an excellent
      inventory position and see plentiful opportunities for great brands in
      the marketplace. We are raising the bar on our marketing campaigns and
      gift-giving initiatives, which I believe are going to be even better
      than last year, and above all, we will be bringing consumers amazing
      values! We are very confident in our ability to deliver another strong
      year, on top of many, as we continue on the path to being a $40
      billion-plus company.&#8221;

      <u><b>Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      Changes in foreign currency exchange rates affect the translation of
      sales and earnings of the Company&#8217;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 affect the magnitude of
      these translations and adjustments, and can have a material impact when
      there is significant volatility in currency exchange rates.
    </p>
    <p>
      The movement in foreign currency exchange rates had a neutral impact on
      consolidated net sales growth in the second quarter of Fiscal 2015
      versus the prior year. The overall net impact of foreign currency
      exchange rates had a neutral impact on second quarter Fiscal 2015
      earnings per share, compared with a neutral impact last year.
    </p>
    <p>
      A table detailing the impact of foreign currency on TJX pretax earnings
      and margins, as well as those of its international businesses, can be
      found in the Investor Information section of the Company&#8217;s website,
      tjx.com.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Margins</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      For the second quarter of Fiscal 2015, the Company&#8217;s consolidated pretax
      profit margin was 12.0%. On an adjusted basis, excluding the
      approximately 0.3 percentage point debt extinguishment charge (referred
      to above), consolidated pretax profit margin was 12.3%, a 0.3 percentage
      point increase over the prior year.
    </p>
    <p>
      The gross profit margin for the second quarter of Fiscal 2015 was 28.6%,
      down 0.2 percentage points versus a very strong increase in the prior
      year. The decrease was primarily due to the negative impact of
      mark-to-market adjustments on our hedging instruments as well as the
      impact of e-commerce on merchandise margins. Merchandise margins were
      flat for the second quarter.
    </p>
    <p>
      Selling, general and administrative costs as a percent of sales were
      16.2%, down 0.5 percentage points from the prior year largely due to a
      favorable adjustment to our insurance reserves based on improved claims
      experience, as well as other cost savings.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Inventory</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      Total inventories as of August 2, 2014 were $3.4 billion, compared with
      $3.2 billion at the end of the second quarter last year. Consolidated
      inventories on a per-store basis as of August 2, 2014, including the
      distribution centers, but excluding inventory in transit and the
      Company&#8217;s e-commerce businesses, were up 1% on a reported basis (flat on
      a constant currency basis). The Company enters the third quarter in an
      excellent inventory position to take advantage of the plentiful buying
      opportunities it is seeing in the marketplace.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Shareholder Distributions</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      During the second quarter, the Company repurchased a total of $440
      million of TJX stock, retiring 8.0 million shares. For the first half of
      Fiscal 2015, the Company spent a total of $800 million in repurchases of
      TJX stock, retiring 14.0 million shares, and it continues to expect to
      repurchase approximately $1.6 to $1.7 billion of TJX stock in Fiscal
      2015. The Company may adjust the amount of this spending up or down
      depending on various factors.

      <u><b>Third Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2015 Outlook</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      For the third quarter of Fiscal 2015, the Company expects diluted
      earnings per share to be in the range of $.81 to $.85 compared to $.86
      per share last year. Excluding the $.11 per share tax benefit in the
      third quarter of Fiscal 2014, this would represent an 8% to 13% increase
      over last year&#8217;s adjusted $.75 per share. This outlook is based upon
      estimated consolidated comparable store sales growth of 1% to 2%.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company is raising its guidance for adjusted diluted earnings per
      share for Fiscal 2015. On a reported basis, for the fiscal year ending
      January 31, 2015, the Company expects diluted earnings per share to be
      in the range of $3.08 to $3.16 versus $2.94 in Fiscal 2014. On an
      adjusted basis, excluding the second quarter debt extinguishment charge
      (referred to above) of an estimated $.02 per share, this guidance would
      be $3.10 to $3.18. This adjusted EPS guidance would represent a 10% to
      12% increase over the prior year&#8217;s adjusted EPS of $2.83, which excludes
      the $.11 per share tax benefit. Further, this outlook is based upon
      estimated consolidated comparable store sales growth of 1% to 2%.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company&#8217;s earnings guidance for the third quarter and full year
      Fiscal 2015 assumes that currency exchange rates will remain unchanged
      from the levels at the end of the quarter.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Stores by Concept</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      During the second quarter ended August 2, 2014, the Company increased
      its store count by a net of 23 stores. The Company increased square
      footage by 4% over the same period last year.

    </p>
    <p>
      The Company has used non-GAAP financial measures in this press release.
      Adjusted financial measures refer to financial information adjusted to
      exclude from financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting
      principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) items
      identified in this press release. The Company believes that the
      presentation of adjusted financial results provides additional
      information on comparisons between periods including underlying trends
      of its business by excluding certain items that affect overall
      comparability. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in
      addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company&#8217;s reported
      results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

        During the second quarter ended August 2, 2014, TJX repurchased 8.0
        million shares of its common stock at a cost of $440 million. During
        the six months ended August 2, 2014, TJX repurchased 14.0 million
        shares of its common stock at a cost of $800 million. On January 31,
        2014 the Company&#8217;s Board of Directors approved an additional $2
        billion stock repurchase program. TJX records the repurchase of its
        stock on a cash basis, and the amounts reflected in the financial
        statements may vary from the above amounts due to the timing of
        settlement of repurchases.
      </li>
      <li style="margin-bottom: 10.0px">
        On June 5, 2014 TJX issued $750 million of 2.75% seven year notes. The
        Company used the proceeds to redeem its $400 million 4.20% notes prior
        to their scheduled maturity of August 15, 2015 and intends to use the
        balance of the proceeds from the notes offering for working capital
        and other general corporate purposes. On July 8, 2014 the Company
        completed the redemption of the 4.2% notes pursuant to the terms of
        the indenture and recorded pre-tax loss on the early extinguishment of
        debt of $16.8 million. The charge for the early extinguishment of this
        debt reduced net income for the fiscal 2015 second quarter by $.02 per
        share.
