| Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. These Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments, accruals and deferrals among periods required to match costs properly with the related revenue or activity, considered necessary by The TJX Companies, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “TJX”) for a fair statement of its Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods reported, all in conformity with GAAP consistently applied. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments for which the Company exercises significant influence but does not have control are accounted for under the equity method. The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, including the related notes, contained in TJX’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 (“fiscal 2026”). These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. TJX’s business, in common with the businesses of retailers generally, is subject to seasonal influences, with higher levels of sales and income generally realized in the second half of the year. The January 31, 2026 balance sheet data was derived from audited Consolidated Financial Statements and does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Fiscal Year TJX’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to the last day of January of each year. The current fiscal year ends January 30, 2027 (“fiscal 2027”) and is a 52-week fiscal year. Fiscal 2026 was a 52-week fiscal year. “Fiscal 2028” will be a 52-week fiscal year and “fiscal 2029” will be a 53-week fiscal year and will end January 29, 2028 and February 3, 2029, respectively. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. TJX considers its accounting policies relating to inventory valuation, reserves for uncertain tax positions and loss contingencies to be the most significant accounting policies that involve management estimates and judgments. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material. Deferred Gift Card Revenue The following table presents deferred gift card revenue activity:
TJX recognized $472 million in gift card revenue for the three months ended May 2, 2026 and $444 million for the three months ended May 3, 2025. Gift cards are combined in one homogeneous pool and are not separately identifiable. As such, the revenue recognized consists of gift cards that were part of the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period as well as gift cards that were issued during the period. Leases Supplemental cash flow information related to leases is as follows:
Equity Investments The Company has investments in Multibrand Outlet Stores S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“MOS”) and Brands for Less (“BFL”). Both investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are recorded in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. TJX reports the results of its share of the investments in MOS and BFL on a one-quarter lag, as their results are not expected to be available in time to be recorded in the concurrent period. Earnings from the investments in MOS and BFL are recorded in Selling, general & administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income and did not have a material impact on the Company’s results for the three months ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025. Additionally, both equity investments are evaluated for indicators of impairment on a periodic basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may be other-than-temporarily impaired. As of May 2, 2026, the Company determined that no impairments of its equity method investments existed. Multibrand Outlet Stores The Company has a 49% ownership stake in MOS, through a joint venture with Grupo Axo, S.A.P.I de C.V. (“Axo”). MOS is Axo’s off-price, physical store business in Mexico and includes a total of over 200 stores for its Promoda, Reduced, and Urban Store banners. TJX has the option to increase its ownership interest in the joint venture over the long term. For the three months ended May 2, 2026, the carrying value of the Company’s equity investment in MOS was $226 million, which exceeds its share of MOS’ net assets by approximately $185 million. For the three months ended May 3, 2025, the carrying value of the Company’s equity investment in MOS was $177 million, which exceeds its share of MOS’ net assets by approximately $140 million. The difference primarily consists of goodwill and tradenames. Tradenames are definite-lived intangible assets and are amortized straight-line over their useful lives of 10 years. The carrying value of this equity investment is adjusted for the Company’s share of MOS’s results, tradename amortization, cumulative translation adjustments and additional capital contributions. The cumulative translation adjustment is recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. Brands for Less The Company has a 35% ownership stake in privately held BFL, representing a non-controlling, minority position. BFL currently operates over 100 stores, primarily in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, as well as an e-commerce business, and is the region’s only major off-price branded apparel, toys and home fashions retailer. For the three months ended May 2, 2026, the carrying value of the Company’s equity investment in BFL was $340 million, which exceeds its share of BFL net assets by approximately $299 million. For the three months ended May 3, 2025, the carrying value of the Company’s equity investment in BFL was $335 million, which exceeds its share of BFL net assets by approximately $291 million. The difference primarily consists of goodwill and a tradename. The tradename is a definite-lived intangible asset and will be amortized straight-line over the useful life of 15 years. The carrying value of this equity investment is adjusted for the Company’s share of BFL’s results and tradename amortization. Litigation Settlement Related to Credit Card Interchange Fees During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company entered into a settlement agreement to resolve litigation related to credit card interchange fees in which the Company was a plaintiff. The settlement resulted in a non-recurring gain of $419 million, net of legal expenses, which was recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. Amounts related to the settlement were received during the quarter ended May 2, 2026 and reflected in operating activities of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). Unless otherwise discussed, the Company has reviewed the new guidance and has determined that it will either not apply to TJX or is not expected to be material to its Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption, and, therefore, the guidance is not disclosed. Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses In November 2024, the FASB issued new guidance to enhance the disclosure of expenses by requiring further disaggregation of relevant expenses in a separate note to the financial statements. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statement disclosures and plans to adopt this standard for the fiscal 2028 Form 10-K. Improvements to Accounting for Internal-Use Software In September 2025, the FASB issued new guidance to modernize the accounting for internal-use software costs by increasing the operability of the recognition guidance considering different methods of software development. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statement disclosures and plans to adopt this standard for annual reporting as well as interim period reporting beginning in fiscal year 2029.
