Capital Stock
TJX repurchased and retired 7.2 million shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $653 million, including applicable excise tax, during the quarter ended October 28, 2023, on a “trade date” basis. During the nine months ended October 28, 2023, TJX repurchased and retired 20.4 million shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $1.7 billion, 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 $1.7 billion for the nine months ended October 28, 2023 and $1.8 billion for the nine months ended October 29, 2022. These expenditures were funded by cash on hand and cash generated from current and prior period operations.
In February 2023, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a new stock repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to an additional $2 billion of TJX common stock from time to time. Under this program, TJX had approximately $1.8 billion available for repurchase as of October 28, 2023.
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 periods. Such options are excluded because they would have an antidilutive effect. There were 4.8 million options excluded for the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2023. There were 11.2 million such options excluded for the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2022.
