The TJX Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TJX) today reported October 2012
sales results. Sales for the four-week period ended October 27,
2012, were $2.1 billion, up 11% over the $1.9 billion achieved
during the four-week period ended October 29, 2011. For the 39-week
period ended October 27, 2012, sales reached $18.2 billion, a 10%
increase over the $16.5 billion achieved in the same period last
year. Consolidated comparable store sales for the four-week period
ended October 27, 2012, increased 7% over last year. For the
13-week third quarter, consolidated comparable store sales also
increased 7% over last year. For the 39-week, year-to-date period,
consolidated comparable store sales increased 8% over the same
period last year.
Carol Meyrowitz, Chief Executive Officer of The TJX Companies,
Inc., stated, “We are extremely pleased with our well-above-plan
consolidated comp increase of 7%, which demonstrates once again our
ability to deliver strong comp sales increases over strong
increases in the prior year. Our momentum continued at all
divisions and customer traffic drove comp increases across the
board, which we believe speaks to the staying power and appeal of
our great brands and fashions at compelling values. We were
particularly pleased with TJX Europe’s 11% comp sales increase,
achieved over a 5% increase last year, as we continue to see
increasingly strong trends in this important growth vehicle. With
above-plan sales in October, we are raising our outlook for the
third quarter and full year. We believe the momentum we are seeing
in all of our businesses, along with the exciting gift initiatives
and marketing campaigns that we have planned, bode well for the
holiday selling season. We are looking forward to a strong fourth
quarter as well as to the longer term future growth of our
Company.”
