      quarter! Our momentum continued with a consolidated comparable store
      sales increase of 7% over 5% growth last year, and earnings per share
      increased 10%. We are particularly pleased with our very strong customer
      traffic, which drove the comp increases at every division. This tells us
      that our strategies to bring consumers exciting values on an eclectic
      and ever-changing mix of the right fashions and brands, sourced from
      across the globe, are working. We are confident that we are growing our
      customer base and gaining market share. With our excellent first quarter
      results, we are raising our full year earnings per share and comp sales
      guidance, and the second quarter is off to a solid start. We see many
      opportunities in the U.S. and internationally for continued successful
      growth. We are extremely focused on achieving our goals for 2016 and
      motivated to surpass them. TJX has an exciting future ahead, and we have
      a strategic long-term vision to grow to be a $40 billion company and
      beyond!&#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 one percentage
      point negative impact on consolidated net sales growth in the first
      quarter of Fiscal 2017 versus the prior year. The overall net impact of
      foreign currency exchange rates had a $.05 negative impact on first
      quarter Fiscal 2017 earnings per share, compared with a $.03 negative
      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;
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Margins</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      For the first quarter of Fiscal 2017, the Company&#8217;s consolidated pretax
      profit margin was 10.9%, a 0.2 percentage point decrease compared with
      the prior year.
    </p>
    <p>
      Gross profit margin for the first quarter of Fiscal 2017 was 28.8%, up
      0.5 percentage points versus the prior year, primarily due to strong
      buying and occupancy leverage on the 7% comp growth. This was partially
      offset by the mark-to-market adjustment on the Company&#8217;s
      inventory-related hedges. Merchandise margins remained strong despite
      the negative impact of transactional foreign exchange at TJX Canada and
      TJX International.
    </p>
    <p>
      Selling, general and administrative costs as a percent of sales were
      17.7%, up 0.7 percentage points versus the prior year&#8217;s ratio, primarily
      due to wage increases and investments to support growth, as the Company
      had anticipated.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Inventory</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      Total inventories as of April 30, 2016, were $3.9 billion, compared with
      $3.5 billion at the end of the first quarter last year. Consolidated
      inventories on a per-store basis as of April 30, 2016, including the
      distribution centers, but excluding inventory in transit and the
      Company&#8217;s e-commerce businesses, were up 7% on both a reported and
      constant currency basis. The Company is very comfortable with its
      inventory position entering the second quarter and the plentiful buying
      opportunities it sees in the marketplace for quality, branded
      merchandise.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Shareholder Distributions</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      During the first quarter, the Company repurchased a total of $375
      million of TJX stock, retiring 5.0 million shares. The Company continues
      to expect to repurchase approximately $1.5 to $2.0 billion of TJX stock
      in Fiscal 2017. The Company may adjust this amount up or down depending
      on various factors. Additionally, the Company increased its dividend by
      24% in the first quarter, marking the 20<sup>th</sup> consecutive year
      of dividend increases. The Company remains committed to returning cash
      to its shareholders while reinvesting in the business to support the
      near- and long-term growth of TJX.

      <u><b>Second Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2017 Outlook</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      For the second quarter of Fiscal 2017, the Company expects diluted
      earnings per share to be in the range of $.77 to $.79 compared to $.80
      last year. This guidance reflects an assumption that wage increases will
      negatively impact EPS growth by 3%. The Company also expects the
      combination of foreign currency and transactional foreign exchange will
      have an additional 2% negative impact on EPS growth. This EPS outlook is
      based upon estimated consolidated comparable store sales growth of 2% to
      3%.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company is raising its full year guidance to reflect its strong
      first quarter results. For the fiscal year ending January 28, 2017, the
      Company now expects diluted earnings per share to be in the range of
      $3.35 to $3.42, which would represent a 1% to 3% increase over $3.33 in
      Fiscal 2016. This guidance reflects an assumption that the combination
      of foreign currency, transactional foreign exchange and wage increases
      will have a 6% negative impact on EPS growth. This EPS outlook is now
      based upon a raised estimate of consolidated comparable store sales
      growth of 2% to 3%.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company&#8217;s earnings guidance for the second quarter and full year
      Fiscal 2017 assumes that currency exchange rates will remain unchanged
      from the levels at the beginning of the second quarter.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Stores by Concept</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      During the first quarter ended April 30, 2016, the Company increased its
      store count by 47 stores to a total of 3,661 stores. The Company
      increased square footage by 5% over the same period last year.

      The TJX Companies, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries<br>Notes to
      Consolidated Condensed Statements
    </p>
    <p>
      1. During the first quarter ended April 30, 2016, TJX repurchased 5.0
      million shares of its common stock at a cost of $375.0 million. On
      January 29, 2016, 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 October 24, 2015, TJX purchased Trade Secret, an off-price
      retailer in Australia. The final purchase price was AUD$83 million (U.S.
      $59 million) which was allocated to the fair value of the assets
      acquired resulting in goodwill of $25.0 million. The operating results
      since the date of acquisition are reported with our operations in Europe
      and we have therefore renamed The TJX Europe segment to TJX
      International. The TJX International segment includes all of
      international retail operations outside of North America.
