Capital Stock
TJX repurchased and retired 9.5 million shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $0.6 billion during the quarter ended April 30, 2022, on a “trade date” basis. TJX reflects stock repurchases in its consolidated financial statements on a “settlement date” or cash basis. TJX had cash expenditures under repurchase programs of $0.6 billion for the three months ended April 30, 2022. These expenditures were funded by cash generated from operations.
In February 2022, the Company announced that its 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. Under this program and previously announced programs, TJX had approximately $3.2 billion available for repurchase as of April 30, 2022.
All shares repurchased under the stock repurchase programs have been retired.

The weighted average common shares for the diluted earnings per share calculation excludes the impact of outstanding stock options if the assumed proceeds per share of the option is in excess of the average price of TJX’s common stock for the related fiscal period. Such options are excluded because they would have an antidilutive effect. There were 5.1 million such options excluded for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2022 and there were no such options excluded for the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2021.
