(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2026 identified in connection with our Chief Executive Officer’s and Chief Financial Officer’s evaluation that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

A table detailing the impact of foreign currency on TJX's net sales and pretax profit margin, as well as those of its international businesses, is available in the Investors section of TJX.com.

All amounts in the AOCI table are "In millions and net of immaterial taxes."

Amounts related to the settlement were received during the quarter ended May 2, 2026 and are reflected in operating activities of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended August 1, 2026.

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.

Beginning in Fiscal 2028, the Company is planning to accelerate its store opening growth to 4%. The Company is also increasing its long-term global store target by an additional 500 stores to a total of 7,500 stores for its existing retail banners in its current countries.
