      FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 22, 2018--The TJX Companies,

      retailer in the U.S. and worldwide, today announced sales and earnings
      results for the first quarter ended May 5, 2018. Net sales for the first
      quarter of Fiscal 2019 increased 12% to $8.7 billion. Consolidated
      comparable store sales increased 3% over the comparable period last year
      ending May 6, 2017. Net income for the first quarter was $716 million
      and diluted earnings per share were $1.13. Adjusted diluted earnings per
      share were $.96, a 17% increase over the prior year&#8217;s $.82.
    </p>
    <p>
      Ernie Herrman, Chief Executive Officer and President of The TJX
      Companies, Inc., stated, &#8220;We are very pleased with our first quarter
      results as both our consolidated comp store sales growth of 3% and
      earnings per share exceeded our expectations. Marmaxx, our largest
      division, delivered a strong 4% comparable store sales increase as
      consumers were drawn to our great fashions and brands at outstanding
      values! Customer traffic was once again the primary driver of our
      comparable store sales increases at each of our four large divisions.
      Based on our strong first quarter performance, we are updating our
      outlook for full-year earnings per share. We believe that the
      consistency of our customer traffic increases demonstrates the strength
      and resiliency of our business and our ability to succeed through many
      types of economic and retail environments. Looking ahead, the second
      quarter is off to a strong start and we see plentiful opportunities to
      capitalize on the exciting fashions and brands available to us in the
      marketplace. We are convinced that we will continue to gain market share
      and grow successfully around the world.&#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 positive impact on consolidated net sales growth in the first
      quarter of Fiscal 2019 versus the prior year. The overall net impact of
      foreign currency exchange rates had a $.04 positive impact on first
      quarter Fiscal 2019 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 Investors section of 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 the Company refers to as &#8220;transactional foreign exchange.&#8221;

      <u><b>Margins</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      For the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, the Company&#8217;s consolidated pretax
      profit margin was 11.0%, a 0.3 percentage point increase compared with
      the prior year&#8217;s 10.7%.
    </p>
    <p>
      Gross profit margin for the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 was 28.9%, down
      0.1 percentage point versus the prior year. Selling, general and
      administrative (SG&amp;A) costs as a percent of sales for the first quarter
      were 17.8%, down 0.3 percentage points versus the prior year&#8217;s ratio,
      primarily due to expense savings and a one-time gain related to a lease
      buyout.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Inventory</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      Total inventories as of May 5, 2018, were $4.4 billion, compared with
      $3.7 billion at the end of the first quarter last year. Consolidated
      inventories on a per-store basis as of May 5, 2018, including the
      distribution centers, but excluding inventory in transit and the
      Company&#8217;s e-commerce businesses, were up 7% on a reported basis (up 6%
      on a constant currency basis, compared to a decrease of 7% on a constant
      currency basis in the prior year). The Company is in an excellent
      inventory position entering the second quarter and has plenty of
      liquidity to take advantage of the terrific 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 returned a total of $597 million
      to shareholders. The Company repurchased a total of $400 million of TJX
      stock, retiring 4.9 million shares, and paid $197 million in shareholder
      dividends. The Company continues to expect to repurchase approximately
      $2.5 to $3.0 billion of TJX stock in Fiscal 2019. The Company may adjust
      this amount up or down depending on various factors. Additionally, the
      Company increased its dividend by 25% in the first quarter, marking the
      22<sup>nd</sup> consecutive year of dividend increases. The Company
      remains committed to returning cash to its shareholders while continuing
      to reinvest in the business to support the near- and long-term growth of
      TJX.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Second Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2019 Outlook</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      For the second quarter of Fiscal 2019, the Company expects diluted
      earnings per share to be in the range of $1.02 to $1.04. Excluding an
      expected benefit of approximately $.15 per share due to items related to
      the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (primarily the lower U.S. corporate
      income tax rate), the Company expects adjusted earnings per share to be
      in the range of $.87 to $.89, compared to $.85 last year. This guidance
      assumes that restructuring costs within the Company&#8217;s IT department will
      negatively impact EPS growth by 3% to 4%. These costs were contemplated
      in TJX&#8217;s original full-year guidance provided in February 2018. The
      Company expects that wage increases will negatively impact EPS growth by
      another 2%. The Company also anticipates that foreign currency will
      benefit EPS growth by approximately 4%. This EPS outlook is based upon
      estimated consolidated comparable store sales growth of 1% to 2%.
    </p>
    <p>
      For the 52-week fiscal year ending February 2, 2019, the Company now
      expects diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $4.75 to $4.83,
      which represents an 18% to 20% increase over the prior year&#8217;s $4.04. The
      Company&#8217;s full-year guidance includes an expected benefit of
      approximately $.72 to $.73 per share due to items related to the 2017
      Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (primarily the lower U.S. corporate income tax
      rate), which is approximately $.02 lower than previous guidance of $.73
      to $.75 per share.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company is increasing the high-end of its Fiscal 2019 adjusted EPS
      guidance by $.02 to reflect its strong first quarter results. The
      Company now expects adjusted diluted earnings per share, which excludes
      the benefit from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act mentioned above, to be
      in the range of $4.04 to $4.10. This guidance represents a 5% to 6%
      increase over the prior year&#8217;s adjusted $3.85, which excludes a $.17 net
      benefit due to items related to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a
      benefit of approximately $.11 from the extra week in the Company&#8217;s
      Fiscal 2018 calendar, and a $.10 impairment charge related to Sierra
      Trading Post from GAAP EPS of $4.04. This guidance reflects an
      assumption that wage increases will negatively impact EPS growth by 2%.
      This EPS outlook continues to be based upon estimated consolidated
      comparable store sales growth of 1% to 2%.

    </div>
    <p>
      It is important to note that Fiscal 2019 full-year adjusted guidance
      assumes that $.07 of the $.09 EPS benefit from the above-plan first
      quarter will be offset by a combination of factors. The Company now
      expects a $.03 negative impact to EPS due to significantly higher
      planned freight costs than the Company originally expected, partially
      offset by assumptions for stronger operational performance. In addition,
      the Company now anticipates a reversal of the $.02 above-plan first
      quarter gain on inventory hedges, and an assumption that the benefit
      from translational foreign exchange will be $.02 lower than originally
      planned for the full year.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company&#8217;s earnings guidance for the second quarter and full year
      Fiscal 2019 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 May 5, 2018, the Company increased its
      store count by 71 stores to a total of 4,141 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
      Investors 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
      Investors section at tjx.com. The Company encourages investors to
      consult that section of its website regularly.

      1. During the first quarter ended May 5, 2018, TJX repurchased 4.9
      million shares of its common stock at a cost of $400 million. In
      February 2018, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had
      approved a new stock repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase
      of up to an additional $3.0 billion of TJX common stock from time to
      time. 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>

      2. During the fourth quarter ended February 3, 2018, the Company
      recorded a $99.3 million impairment charge, primarily goodwill, related
