Forward guidance
For Q1 2023, the company expects U.S. comparable store sales to increase by 1% to 3%.
Tailwinds
- Company is planning U.S. comparable store sales to be up 1% to 3% over an outsized 17% U.S. open-only comp store sales increase in the first quarter of Fiscal 2022.
- Company is very pleased with its strong U.S. comparable store sales growth to start the first quarter of Fiscal 2023.
- Company’s first quarter Fiscal 2023 U.S. comparable store sales outlook takes into account the cadence of U.S. open-only comp stores sales growth in the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, which was up low to mid-single digits to start the quarter and then accelerated to a 20%-plus increase in March and April combined.
- Company expects diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $.58 to $.61 versus earnings per share of $.44 in the prior year.
- Company plans to repurchase approximately $2.25 to $2.50 billion of TJX stock during the fiscal year ending January 28, 2023.
Headwinds
- Not providing full year Fiscal 2023 diluted earnings per share guidance given the current uncertainty around how long elevated expense pressures may persist.
- TJX Canada and TJX International’s fourth quarter Fiscal 2022 net sales and open-only comp store sales were negatively impacted by government-mandated shopping restrictions throughout the quarter.
- Company’s consolidated pretax profit margin was 9.0%, a 1.9 percentage point decrease versus the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020.
- Merchandise margin was down primarily due to 2.8 percentage points of incremental freight expense, which was more than the Company expected.
- Combination of incremental investments to expand distribution capacity and wage increases reduced pretax profit margin by an additional 1.6 percentage points.
