      Sales Growth and Earnings Per Share of $.86</b></font></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 17, 2015--The TJX
      Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TJX), the leading off-price retailer of apparel
      and home fashions in the U.S. and worldwide, today announced sales and
      earnings results for the third quarter ended October 31, 2015. Net sales
      for the third quarter of Fiscal 2016 increased 5% to $7.8 billion and
      consolidated comparable store sales increased 5% over last year&#8217;s 2%
      increase. Net income for the third quarter was $587 million and diluted
      earnings per share were $.86 versus last year&#8217;s $.85.
    </p>
    <p>
      For the first nine months of Fiscal 2016, net sales were $22.0 billion,
      a 6% increase over last year, and consolidated comparable store sales
      increased 5%. Net income for the first nine months of Fiscal 2016 was
      $1.6 billion. Diluted earnings per share were $2.35, a 5% increase over
      the prior year&#8217;s adjusted $2.23, which excluded a $.01 per share debt
      extinguishment charge from reported earnings per share of $2.22.
    </p>
    <p>
      Carol Meyrowitz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The TJX
      Companies, Inc., stated, &#8220;I am extremely pleased with our third quarter
      performance as our momentum continued. Our 5% consolidated comparable
      store sales growth, over a 2% increase last year, continued our
      excellent trend from the first two quarters and significantly exceeded
      our plans. Our $.86 in earnings per share was also well above our
      expectations. We are delighted that strong customer traffic drove our
      entire consolidated comp and was the primary driver of our comp
      increases at every division. Our excellent traffic gains and strong
      performance across our apparel, accessories and home categories,
      demonstrate that our brands globally are offering the right values and
      merchandise mix. Again this quarter, we saw strong sales at every
      division. I am particularly pleased with our ability to simultaneously
      deliver exceptional value to consumers while maintaining strong
      merchandise margins, which speaks to the flexibility of our off-price
      business model. Our goal is to keep serving consumers and growing our
      market share around the world. To that end, we continue to balance
      growth with investments in our future to establish a strong foundation
      in the U.S. and internationally. Further, we were happy to add Trade
      Secret, an Australian off-price retailer, to our family of companies in
      October. As to the fourth quarter, we are pleased to see that traffic
      continues to be up and we could not be more excited about the holiday
      selling season. I am convinced that our gift-giving selections are
      better than ever this year and that our holiday marketing campaigns will
      resonate with consumers and attract more shoppers to our stores. With
      our clear vision for global growth, a differentiated apparel and home
      fashions business, and world-class organization, I am very confident we
      will grow TJX to 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 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 three percentage
      point negative impact on consolidated net sales growth in the third
      quarter of Fiscal 2016 versus the prior year. The overall net impact of
      foreign currency exchange rates had a $.04 negative impact on third
      quarter Fiscal 2016 earnings per share, compared with a $.01 positive
      impact last year.
    </p>
    <p>
      For the first nine months of Fiscal 2016, the movement in foreign
      currency exchange rates had a three percentage point negative impact on
      consolidated net sales growth. The overall net impact of foreign
      currency exchange rates had an $.08 negative impact on earnings per
      share in the first nine months of Fiscal 2016, 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>
      The foreign currency exchange rate impact to earnings per share does not
      include the impact currency exchange rates have on various transactions,
      which we refer to as &#8220;transactional foreign exchange.&#8221;

      <u><b>Margins</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      For the third quarter of Fiscal 2016, the Company&#8217;s consolidated pretax
      profit margin was 12.1%, a 0.9 percentage point decrease compared with
      the prior year.
    </p>
    <p>
      Gross profit margin for the third quarter of Fiscal 2016 was 29.0%, down
      0.4 percentage points versus the prior year. The decrease was primarily
      due to transactional foreign exchange at the Company&#8217;s international
      divisions and increased supply chain costs related to a substantial
      increase in units sold during the quarter. Merchandise margins remained
      strong.
    </p>
    <p>
      Selling, general and administrative costs as a percent of sales were
      16.7%, up 0.5 percentage points versus the prior year&#8217;s ratio, primarily
      due to the Company&#8217;s wage initiative and increased supply chain costs,
      as the Company had anticipated.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Inventory</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      Total inventories as of October 31, 2015, were $4.4 billion, compared
      with $4.0 billion at the end of the third quarter last year.
      Consolidated inventories on a per-store basis as of October 31, 2015,
      including the distribution centers, but excluding inventory in transit
      and the Company&#8217;s e-commerce businesses, were up 4% on a reported basis
      (up 6% on a constant currency basis). The Company is very comfortable
      with its inventory position, which it strategically increased ahead of
      the fourth quarter to provide more flexibility to flow fresh merchandise
      to its stores with greater precision throughout the holiday season. The
      Company enters the fourth quarter in an excellent position to take
      advantage of the plentiful buying opportunities for branded, quality
      merchandise it is seeing in the marketplace.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Shareholder Distributions</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      During the third quarter, the Company repurchased a total of $459
      million of TJX stock, retiring 6.4 million shares. For the first nine
      months of Fiscal 2016, the Company spent a total of $1.3 billion in
      repurchases of TJX stock, retiring 19.1 million shares. The Company
      continues to expect to repurchase approximately $1.8 to $1.9 billion of
      TJX stock in Fiscal 2016. The Company may adjust this amount up or down
      depending on various factors.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2016 Outlook</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      For the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2016, the Company expects diluted
      earnings per share to be in the range of $.91 to $.93 compared to $.93
      last year. This guidance reflects an assumption that the combination of
      foreign currency, transactional foreign exchange, the Company&#8217;s wage
      initiative, incremental investments to support growth, and pension costs
      would have a 9% negative impact on EPS growth. This guidance also
      reflects a negative impact to EPS from the acquisition of Trade Secret
      that was not contemplated in the Company&#8217;s prior guidance. This EPS
      outlook is based upon estimated consolidated comparable store sales
      growth of 2% to 3%.
    </p>
    <p>
      For the fiscal year ending January 30, 2016, the Company continues to
      expect diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $3.26 to $3.28
      versus $3.15 in Fiscal 2015. Excluding a $.01 debt extinguishment charge
      in Fiscal 2015, this guidance would represent a 3% to 4% increase over
      the adjusted $3.16 in Fiscal 2015. This guidance for EPS growth reflects
      a 9% negative impact from the same factors affecting estimated EPS
      growth in the fourth quarter, detailed above. This guidance also now
      reflects a $.02 to $.03 negative impact to EPS from the acquisition of
      Trade Secret, which was not contemplated in the Company&#8217;s prior
      guidance. This EPS outlook is now based upon a raised estimate of
      consolidated comparable store sales growth of 4% to 5%.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company&#8217;s earnings guidance for the fourth quarter and full year
      Fiscal 2016 assumes that currency exchange rates will remain unchanged
      from the levels at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

    </p>
    <p>
      During the third quarter ended October 31, 2015, the Company increased
      its store count by a net of 133 stores to a total of 3,594 stores. The
      Company increased square footage by 5% over the same period last year.

      <u><b>Non-GAAP Financial Information</b></u>
    </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.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Important Information at Website</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      Archived versions of the Company&#8217;s conference calls are available in the
      Investor Information section of tjx.com after they are no longer
      available by telephone as are reconciliations of non-GAAP financial
      measures to GAAP financial measures and other financial information. The
      Company routinely posts information that may be important to investors
      in the Investor Information section at tjx.com. The Company encourages
      investors to consult that section of its website regularly.

      The TJX Companies, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries<br>Notes to
      Consolidated Condensed Statements
    </p>
    <p>
      1. During the third quarter ended October 31, 2015, TJX repurchased 6.4
      million shares of its common stock at a cost of $459 million. For the
      nine months ended October 31, 2015, TJX repurchased 19.1 million shares
      of its common stock at a cost of $1.3 billion. In February 2015 the
      Company announced 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 October 25, 2015, TJX purchased Trade Secret, an off-price
      retailer that operates 35 stores in Australia, for approximately AUD$80
      million, which is subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The
      cost of the acquisition, which will be allocated to the fair value of
      the net assets acquired during the fourth quarter, is included in other
      assets on the balance sheet as of October 31, 2015. In addition, due to
      immateriality, we have not reflected any operating results in our third
      quarter report. The operating results of Trade Secret following the
      acquisition date will be reflected in our fourth quarter results and for
      segment reporting will be combined with our operations in Europe.
    </p>
    <p>
      3. During last year&#8217;s second quarter the Company issued $750 million of
      2.75% seven year notes and used a portion of the proceeds to redeem its
      $400 million 4.20% notes prior to their scheduled maturity. The
      redemption of the 4.2% notes resulted in a pre-tax loss on the early
      extinguishment of debt of $16.8 million during last year&#8217;s second
      quarter. The charge for the early extinguishment of this debt reduced
      net income for the thirty-nine week period ended November 1, 2014 by
      $.01 per share.
