      FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 15, 2016--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 29, 2016. Net sales
      for the third quarter of Fiscal 2017 increased a strong 7% to $8.3
      billion, and over a 5% increase last year. Consolidated comparable store
      sales increased a strong 5% over last year&#8217;s 5% increase. Net income for
      the third quarter was $550 million and diluted earnings per share were
      $.83. Excluding the impact of a debt extinguishment charge and pension
      settlement charge (described below), which combined reduced earnings per
      share by $.08, adjusted diluted earnings per share were $.91. This
      compares to diluted earnings per share of $.86 in the prior year.
    </p>
    <p>
      For the first nine months of Fiscal 2017, net sales were $23.7 billion,
      a strong 8% increase over last year&#8217;s 6% increase. Consolidated
      comparable store sales increased a strong 5% over last year&#8217;s 5%
      increase. Net income for the first nine months of Fiscal 2017 was $1.6
      billion and diluted earnings per share were $2.43. Excluding the impact
      of the third quarter debt extinguishment charge and pension settlement
      charge (described below), which combined reduced earnings per share by
      $.08, adjusted diluted earnings per share were $2.51. This compares to
      diluted earnings per share of $2.35 in the prior year.
    </p>
    <p>
      Ernie Herrman, Chief Executive Officer and President of The TJX
      Companies, Inc., stated, &#8220;We are extremely pleased that our strong
      momentum in customer traffic and sales continued in the third quarter.
      Our consolidated comparable store sales increase of 5%, over 5% growth
      last year, our net sales increase of 7%, over last year&#8217;s 5% increase,
      and our earnings per share all significantly exceeded our expectations.
      Again this quarter, our comp store sales growth was primarily driven by
      customer traffic. We are convinced that we are gaining consumer market
      share across all of our divisions! Further, our merchandise margin was
      up strongly. We have numerous initiatives underway to drive customers to
      our stores this holiday selling season and keep them coming back. We
      will be offering consumers eclectic gift selections from around the
      world, all at exciting values, and shipping fresh assortments to our
      stores right through December and beyond. We remain laser focused on
      achieving our goals for 2016 and are passionate about surpassing them.
      We are on our way to becoming 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 two percentage
      point negative impact on consolidated net sales growth in the third
      quarter of Fiscal 2017. The overall net impact of foreign currency
      exchange rates had a $.01 negative impact on third quarter Fiscal 2017
      earnings per share, compared with a $.01 negative impact last year.
    </p>
    <p>
      For the first nine months of Fiscal 2017, the movement in foreign
      currency exchange rates had a one percentage point negative impact on
      consolidated net sales growth. The overall net impact of foreign
      currency exchange rates had a $.03 negative impact on earnings per share
      in the first nine months of Fiscal 2017, compared with a $.02 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;

      <u><b>Debt Extinguishment Charge</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      On September 7, 2016, TJX issued $1.0 billion of 2.25% 10-year notes.
      The Company used a portion of the proceeds to redeem its $375 million
      6.95% notes on October 12, 2016, prior to their scheduled maturity of
      April 15, 2019. The charge for the early extinguishment of this debt
      reduced third quarter Fiscal 2017 pretax income by $52 million.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Pension Settlement Charge</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company recently offered eligible, former TJX Associates who had not
      yet commenced their pension benefit, an opportunity to receive a
      voluntary lump sum payout of their vested pension benefit. The payment
      and settlement of pension benefits, paid from pension plan assets, to
      participants who accepted this offer resulted in a non-cash settlement
      charge to the Company that reduced third quarter Fiscal 2017 pretax
      income by $31 million.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Margins</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      For the third quarter of Fiscal 2017, the Company&#8217;s consolidated pretax
      profit margin was 10.7%. The debt extinguishment charge and pension
      settlement charge (described above), reduced consolidated pretax profit
      margin by 1.0 percentage points. Excluding these charges, adjusted
      pretax profit margin was 11.7%, a 0.4 percentage point decrease compared
      with the prior year.
    </p>
    <p>
      Gross profit margin for the third quarter of Fiscal 2017 was 29.5%, up
      0.5 percentage points versus the prior year, primarily due to a strong
      increase in merchandise margin and gains related to the Company&#8217;s
      inventory hedges.
    </p>
    <p>
      Selling, general and administrative costs as a percent of sales were
      17.6%, up 0.9 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 October 29, 2016, were $4.4 billion, compared
      with $4.4 billion at the end of the third quarter last year.
      Consolidated inventories on a per-store basis as of October 29, 2016,
      including the distribution centers, but excluding inventory in transit
      and the Company&#8217;s e-commerce businesses, were down 5% on a reported
      basis (down 2% on a constant currency basis). The Company enters the
      fourth quarter in an excellent inventory position to take advantage of
      the plentiful buying opportunities it sees in the marketplace and ship
      ever-changing gift assortments to its stores throughout the holiday
      season.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Shareholder Distributions</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      During the third quarter, the Company paid out $170 million in
      shareholder dividends and repurchased a total of $400 million of TJX
      stock, retiring 5.2 million shares. For the first nine months of Fiscal
      2017, the Company paid out $482 million in shareholder dividends and
      spent a total of $1.2 billion in repurchases of TJX stock, retiring 15.4
      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.

      <u><b>Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2017 Outlook</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      For the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2017, the Company expects diluted
      earnings per share to be in the range of $.96 to $.98 compared to $.99
      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 6% negative impact on EPS growth. This EPS outlook is
      based upon estimated consolidated comparable store sales growth of 1% to
      2% over last year&#8217;s strong 6% increase.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company now estimates Fiscal 2017 GAAP diluted earnings per share of
      $3.39 to $3.41 and adjusted earnings per share of $3.46 to $3.48, versus
      prior guidance of $3.39 to $3.43, reflecting the Company&#8217;s strong third
      quarter results. The adjusted EPS range excludes the impact of the third
      quarter debt extinguishment and pension settlement charges (described
      above). The EPS outlook is based upon estimated consolidated comparable
      store sales growth of 4%.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company&#8217;s earnings guidance for the fourth quarter and full year
      Fiscal 2017 assumes that currency exchange rates will remain unchanged
      from the levels at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Stores by Concept</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      During the third quarter ended October 29, 2016, the Company increased
      its store count by 110 stores to a total of 3,785 stores. The Company
      increased square footage by 4% over the same period last year.

      The TJX Companies, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries<br>Notes to
      Consolidated Condensed Statements
    </p>
    <p>
      1. During the third quarter ended October 29, 2016, TJX repurchased 5.2
      million shares of its common stock at a cost of $400.0 million. For the
      nine months ended October 29, 2016, TJX repurchased 15.4 million shares
      of its common stock at a cost of $1.2 billion. 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 September 7, 2016 TJX issued $1.0 billion of 2.250% ten year
      notes. The Company used a portion of the proceeds to redeem its $375
      million 6.950% notes prior to their scheduled maturity of April 15,
      2019. On October 12, 2016 the Company completed the redemption of the
      6.950% notes pursuant to the terms of the indenture and recorded pre-tax
      loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $51.8 million.
    </p>
    <p>
      In addition, during the third quarter TJX offered eligible, former TJX
      Associates, who had not yet commenced receiving their pension benefit,
      an opportunity to receive a lump sum payout of their vested pension
      benefit. On October 21, 2016 the Company&#8217;s pension plan paid $103.7
      million from pension plan assets to those who accepted this offer,
      thereby reducing its pension benefit obligations. The transaction had no
      cash impact on TJX but did result in a non-cash pre-tax pension
      settlement charge of $31.2 million.
    </p>
    <p>
      The company has presented non-GAAP measures in this earnings release
      excluding the impact of these two third quarter charges.
    </p>
    <p>
      3. 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 together with the Company&#8217;s
      operations in Europe in the TJX International segment (formerly the TJX
      Europe segement).
