    </p>
    <p>
      Carol Meyrowitz, Chief Executive Officer of The TJX Companies, Inc.,
      stated, &#8220;We are very pleased to end 2014 with excellent results in the
      fourth quarter! Our EPS growth of 15% and comp increase of 4%
      significantly exceeded our expectations. We are particularly pleased our
      comps were almost entirely driven by customer traffic, as consumers
      responded to our exciting merchandise assortments, amazing values and
      effective marketing. Merchandise margins were also very strong. We are
      also very pleased with our full year 2014 performance. Our adjusted
      earnings per share growth of 12% over last year&#8217;s 15% increase marks our
      sixth consecutive year of double-digit EPS increases.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      Meyrowitz continued, &#8220;As always, we&#8217;re pursuing many initiatives to
      drive sales and customer traffic, and we have numerous growth vehicles
      that are working well. In 2015, we are taking a prudent approach to
      planning our earnings per share growth. We are continuing to plan comp
      sales increases conservatively while we simultaneously strive to surpass
      our goals. Further, we will continue to reinvest in our growth
      initiatives for today and the future, and we are making additional
      investments in our store Associates to maintain our focus on offering
      our customers an excellent shopping experience. Like other major
      international retailers, our 2015 plans also reflect an expected
      negative impact from foreign currency exchange rates. Our underlying
      business remains very strong and we are reiterating our 10% to 13%
      long-term annual EPS growth model. We see tremendous U.S. and
      international potential for our Company. We are excited to be entering
      our seventh country, Austria, this spring, and to announce our plans to
      expand into our eighth country, The Netherlands, later this year. We are
      growing TJX as a global, value retailer and are well on our way to
      becoming a $40 billion company and beyond!&#8221;

      <u><b>Increase in Shareholder Distributions</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company intends to increase the regular quarterly dividend on its
      common stock to be declared in March 2015 and payable in June 2015 to
      $.21 per share, subject to the approval of the Company&#8217;s Board of
      Directors. This increase would represent a 20% increase in the current
      per share dividend and mark the 19<sup>th</sup> consecutive year that
      the Company has raised the dividend. Over this period of time, the
      Company&#8217;s dividend has grown at a compound annual rate of 23%.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company also announced today its plan to repurchase approximately
      $1.8 to $1.9 billion of TJX stock during the fiscal year ending January
      30, 2016, which would be $100 to $200 million more than last year. With
      $1.3 billion remaining at Fiscal 2015 year end under the Company&#8217;s
      existing stock repurchase program, the Company&#8217;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. The new authorization represents approximately 4% of the Company&#8217;s
      outstanding shares at current prices. The new stock repurchase program
      marks the 16<sup>th</sup> program approved by the Board since 1997. Over
      this period, the Company has spent approximately $14.4 billion on the
      repurchase of TJX stock. During the fourth quarter, the Company spent a
      total of $407 million to repurchase TJX stock, retiring 6.2 million
      shares. In Fiscal 2015, the Company spent a total of $1.7 billion to
      repurchase TJX stock, retiring 27.7 million shares. Under the Company&#8217;s
      repurchase plans, share repurchases may be made from time to time in
      market or private transactions and may include derivative transactions.
      The repurchase program announced today has no time limit and may be
      suspended or discontinued at any time.
    </p>
    <p>
      Carol Meyrowitz commented, &#8220;Our business continues to generate enormous
      amounts of cash and deliver strong financial returns. In Fiscal 2016, we
      plan to continue investing to support our growth while distributing cash
      to our shareholders. Our capital spending plans include investing in new
      stores, store remodels, and our supply chain and infrastructure.
      Simultaneously, we plan to significantly increase both our regular
      quarterly dividend and our large share buyback program, with $1.8 to
      $1.9 billion of repurchases planned for Fiscal 2016. All of these
      actions underscore our confidence in our ability to continue delivering
      substantial increases in sales, earnings, and cash flow, and generate
      superior financial returns.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Increased Investments in TJX Associates</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company announced today an important initiative on wages for its
      U.S. store Associates, including its T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods and
      Sierra Trading Post Associates. This initiative will benefit current and
      future Associates, as the Company&#8217;s full- and part-time hourly U.S.
      store Associates will earn at least $9.00 per hour beginning in June.
      Sometime during 2016, all hourly U.S. store Associates who have been
      employed for six months or more will earn at least $10 per hour.
    </p>
    <p>
      Carol Meyrowitz commented, &#8220;At TJX, we attribute our success over the
      last 38 years primarily to the people we have hired who have remained
      focused on our mission of delivering consumers amazing values. This pay
      initiative is an important part of our strategies to continue attracting
      and retaining the best talent in order to deliver a great shopping
      experience for our customers, remain competitive on wages in our U.S.
      markets, and stay focused on our value mission.&#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 can have a material
      effect on the magnitude of these translations and adjustments when there
      is significant volatility in currency exchange rates.
    </p>
    <p>
      The movement in foreign currency exchange rates had a two percentage
      point negative impact on consolidated net sales growth in the fourth
      quarter of Fiscal 2015 versus the prior year&#8217;s fourth quarter. The
      overall net impact of foreign currency exchange rates had a neutral
      impact on fourth quarter Fiscal 2015 earnings per share, compared with a
      $.01 positive impact last year.
    </p>
    <p>
      The movement in foreign currency exchange rates had a one percentage
      point negative impact on consolidated net sales growth for the full
      Fiscal 2015 year versus the prior year. The overall net impact of
      foreign currency exchange rates had a $.01 negative impact on full year
      Fiscal 2015 earnings per share, compared with a $.01 positive 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,

      <u><b>Margins</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      For the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2015, the Company&#8217;s consolidated pretax
      profit margin was 12.4%, a 0.4 percentage point increase over the prior
      year&#8217;s 12.0% margin.
    </p>
    <p>
      The gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2015 was 28.2%,
      up 0.6 percentage points over the prior year. The increase was primarily
      due to merchandise margin improvement as well as buying and occupancy
      leverage on the strong comp store sales increase. Selling, general and
      administrative costs as a percent of sales were 15.7%, up 0.1 percentage
      points versus the prior year&#8217;s ratio.
    </p>
    <p>
      For the full year Fiscal 2015, the Company&#8217;s consolidated pretax profit
      margin was 12.2%. Excluding the approximately 0.1 percentage point debt
      extinguishment charge (referred to above), adjusted consolidated pretax
      profit margin was 12.3%, a 0.2 percentage point increase over the prior
      year&#8217;s 12.1% margin.
    </p>
    <p>
      The gross profit margin for Fiscal 2015 was 28.5%, flat versus the prior
      year. Selling, general and administrative costs as a percent of sales
      were 16.1%, a 0.2 percentage point improvement over the prior year&#8217;s
      ratio.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Inventory</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      Total inventories as of January 31, 2015 were $3.2 billion, compared
      with $3.0 billion at the end of the prior fiscal year. Consolidated
      inventories on a per-store basis as of January 31, 2015, including the
      distribution centers, but excluding inventory in transit and the
      Company&#8217;s e-commerce businesses, were up 3% on a reported basis (up 5%
      on a constant currency basis) versus an 8% decline last year. TJX enters
      the new fiscal year in an excellent inventory position and is set up
      well to take advantage of the plentiful opportunities it sees in the
      marketplace and to continue shipping fresh spring merchandise to its
      stores.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Full Year and First Quarter Fiscal 2016 Outlook</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      For the fiscal year ending January 30, 2016, the Company expects diluted
      earnings per share to be in the range of $3.17 to $3.25 versus $3.15 in
      Fiscal 2015. Excluding the $.01 debt extinguishment charge in Fiscal
      2015 referred to above, this guidance would represent a 0% to 3%
      increase over the adjusted $3.16 in Fiscal 2015. This guidance reflects
      an assumption that currency could have a 5% negative impact on EPS
      growth, including 3% due to the impact of the dramatic change in foreign
      currency exchange rates on translation and mark-to-market adjustments
      (described above) and 2% from the effect of currency on merchandise
      margins at the Company&#8217;s international divisions. The Company is also
      assuming that the combination of its investments in Associates,
      incremental investments to support its growth, and pension costs will
      negatively impact EPS growth by an additional 4%. This EPS outlook is
      based upon estimated consolidated comparable store sales growth of 1% to
      2%, consistent with the Company&#8217;s plans in prior years. Again, the
      Company is reiterating its 10% to 13% long-term annual EPS growth model.
    </p>
    <p>
      For the first quarter of Fiscal 2016, the Company expects diluted
      earnings per share to be in the range of $.64 to $.66, which would
      represent a 0% to 3% increase over last year&#8217;s $.64 per share. This
      guidance reflects an assumption that currency could have a 4% negative
      impact on EPS growth, including 3% due to the impact of the dramatic
      change in foreign currency exchange rates on translation and
      mark-to-market adjustments (described above) and 1% from the effect of
      currency on merchandise margins at the Company&#8217;s international
      divisions. The Company also expects the combination of incremental
      investments to support its growth, employee payroll and pension costs to
      negatively impact EPS growth by an additional 5%. This outlook is based
      upon estimated consolidated comparable store sales growth of 2% to 3%.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company&#8217;s earnings guidance for the first quarter and full year
      Fiscal 2016 assumes that currency exchange rates will remain unchanged
      from the levels at the beginning of the first quarter.

      During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015, the Company increased its
      net store count by 176 stores to end the year with 3,395 stores. The
      Company increased square footage by 5% 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.

      Notes to Consolidated Condensed Statements
    </p>
    <p>
      1. During the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2015, TJX repurchased 6.2
      million shares of its common stock at a cost of $407 million. During the
      year ended January 31, 2015, TJX repurchased 27.7 million shares of its
      common stock at a cost of $1.7 billion. On January 30, 2015 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.
    </p>
    <p>
      2. 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 year ended January 31, 2015 by $0.01
      per share.
