The TJX Companies, Inc.

Financial Reconciliations

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods and between results in prior periods and expectations for future periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain items that affect overall comparability. Non-GAAP financial measures used in these tables include adjusted net sales, adjusted pretax profit margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS), adjusted gross margin, adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, and consolidated inventory on a per store basis, on a constant currency basis. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance, including relative to others in the market. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to consider underlying trends of the Company's business, and believes presenting these measures also provides information to investors and others for understanding and evaluating trends in the Company's operating results or measuring performance in the same manner as the Company's management. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The use of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures reported by other companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures.

  1. Consolidated inventories on a per store basis, including distribution centers, but excluding inventory in transit, the Company's e-commerce sites, and Sierra stores.
  2. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates affect the translation of sales and earnings of the Company's international businesses into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. 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. Given the global operations of the Company, to facilitate comparability, the Company has provided inventory on a constant currency basis, which assumes a constant exchange rate between periods for translation based on the rate in effect for the prior period.
