The Thirteen Weeks (second quarter) and Twenty-Six Weeks (six months) Ended August 2, 2025

OVERVIEW

We are the leading off-price apparel and home fashions retailer in the U.S. and worldwide. Our mission is to deliver great value to our customers every day. We do this by selling a rapidly changing assortment of apparel, home fashions and other merchandise at prices generally 20% to 60% below full-price retailers’ (including department, specialty and major online retailers) regular prices on comparable merchandise, every day through our stores and six e-commerce sites. We operate over 5,200 stores through our four segments: in the U.S., Marmaxx (which operates TJ Maxx, Marshalls, tjmaxx.com and marshalls.com) and HomeGoods (which operates HomeGoods and Homesense); TJX Canada (which operates Winners, HomeSense and Marshalls in Canada); and TJX International (which operates TK Maxx, Homesense, tkmaxx.com, tkmaxx.de, and tkmaxx.at in Europe, and TK Maxx in Australia). In addition to our four segments, Sierra operates retail stores and sierra.com in the U.S. The results of Sierra are included in the Marmaxx segment.

*–*Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 were $1.36 versus $1.10 in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

*–*Pre-tax profit margin (the ratio of pre-tax income to net sales) for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 was 13.3%, a 1.9 percentage point increase compared with 11.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

–Our cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs, ratio for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 was 66.6%, a 2.7 percentage point decrease compared with 69.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

–Our selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense ratio for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 was 20.3%, a 0.8 percentage point increase compared with 19.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

–As of August 1, 2026, both the number of stores in operation and the selling square footage increased approximately 3% compared to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026. We have increased our long-term global store target to 7,500 stores.

–Our consolidated average per store inventories, including inventory on hand at our distribution centers (which excludes inventory in transit) and excluding our e-commerce sites, were up 2% at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

–During the second quarter of fiscal 2027, we returned $1.3 billion to our shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

Recent Events and Trends

Global Economic Conditions and Tariffs

We continue to closely monitor changes in international trade relations, economic and monetary policies, and legislation and regulations including those related to tariffs on imports from China and other countries. While we have been, and believe we can continue to be, successful in mitigating tariff pressures, tariffs have led to significant volatility in the global economy. We are continuing to implement and consider additional measures that seek to mitigate the impact of tariffs.

The extent and duration of the tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and on our business, including potential additional International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) tariff refunds, continues to be uncertain. Our buying organization’s ability to execute our merchandise sourcing model to offset the effects of the tariffs is a key factor. However, the overall impact depends on a range of factors, including trade negotiations between the U.S. and other countries, responses of other countries, judicial review, exceptions that could be granted and cost of alternative sources of merchandise.

Uncertainty remains regarding the continued impact on our direct imports, indirect imports, vendor and competitor pricing, consumer demand, tariff pass-throughs and retaliatory tariffs. We will continue to closely monitor developments related to tariffs and evaluate their potential impact on our business and financial condition.

IEEPA Tariffs

In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating tariffs imposed under IEEPA. We estimate we have paid an aggregate of approximately $490 million in IEEPA related tariffs. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (“CBP”) has established a phased administrative process for submitting refund claims for certain IEEPA tariffs.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2027, we have received $331 million of IEEPA related tariff refunds eligible under phases 1 and 2 of the CBP process, which includes an immaterial amount of interest, and recognized the benefit within Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs. As a result of these tariff refunds, we have accrued incremental expenses of $112 million for year-end incentive compensation and discretionary bonuses for eligible Associates globally which impact both Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs and SG&A costs. The net benefit of tariff refunds was $219 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2027.

As of August 1, 2026, we have not recorded a receivable for any additional potential refunds. We will recognize a receivable and associated income if the right to receive such amounts becomes realized or realizable in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. The amount of any additional refunds, if received, may not equal the full amount of IEEPA related tariffs paid, and any refunds remain subject to further legal, regulatory or administrative developments. TJX continues to monitor ongoing legal, administrative and regulatory processes.

Net Sales

Net sales for the quarter ended August 1, 2026 totaled $15.2 billion, a 5% increase versus second quarter fiscal 2026 net sales of $14.4 billion. This increase reflects a 4% increase in comp sales and a 2% increase from non-comp sales, partially offset by a 1% negative impact from foreign currency. Net sales from our e-commerce sites combined amounted to approximately 2% of total sales for each of the second quarters of fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2026.

Net sales for the six months ended August 1, 2026 totaled $29.5 billion, a 7% increase versus the first six months of fiscal 2026 net sales of $27.5 billion. This increase reflects a 5% increase in comp sales, a 2% increase from non-comp sales and a neutral impact from foreign currency. Net sales from our e-commerce sites combined amounted to approximately 2% of total sales for each of the first six months of fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2026.

Comp sales increased 4% for both the second quarter of fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2026. Comp sales increased 5% and 4% for the first six months of fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2026, respectively. Home comp sales growth (as defined below) outperformed apparel comp sales growth (as defined below) for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2027. Comp sales for both periods were driven by a higher average basket and an increase in customer transactions.

As of August 1, 2026, our store count increased approximately 3% and selling square footage increased approximately 3% compared to the end of the second quarter last year. We have increased our long-term global store target to 7,500 total stores, reflecting an increase to Marmaxx and HomeGoods store targets by 300 and 200 stores, respectively.

Definition of Comparable Sales

We define comparable sales (“comp sales”) to be sales of stores and e-commerce sites that have been in operation for all or a portion of two consecutive fiscal years, or, in other words, stores or e-commerce sites that are starting their third fiscal year of operation. In any given fiscal year, we calculate comp sales on a 52-week basis by comparing the current and prior year weekly periods that are most closely aligned. Relocated stores and stores that have changed in size are generally classified in the same way as the original store, and we believe that the impact of these stores on the consolidated comp sales percentage is immaterial.

Sales excluded from comp sales (“non-comp sales”) consist of sales from:

–New stores or e-commerce sites - stores or sites that have not yet met the comp sales criteria, which represents a substantial majority of non-comp sales

–Stores or e-commerce sites that are closed permanently or for an extended period of time

We determine which stores and e-commerce sites are included in the comp sales calculation at the beginning of a fiscal year, and the classification remains constant throughout that year unless a store or e-commerce site is closed permanently or for an extended period during that fiscal year.

Comp sales of our foreign segments are calculated on a constant currency basis. We define constant currency basis as translating the current year’s results using the prior year’s exchange rates. This removes the effect of changes in currency exchange rates, which we believe is a more appropriate measure of performance.

Comp sales may be referred to as “same store” sales by other retail companies. The method for calculating comp sales varies across the retail industry; therefore, our measure of comp sales may not be comparable to that of other retail companies. Comparable sales for a category such as home or apparel include sales from merchandise within such category combined across all divisions that fall within the Company’s definition of comparable sales for such period.

We define customer transactions to be the number of transactions in stores or online included in the comp sales calculation. We define average ticket to be the average retail price of the units sold. We define average basket to be the average dollar value of transactions.

Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Our operating results are affected by foreign currency exchange rates as a result of changes in the value of the U.S. dollar or a division’s local currency in relation to other currencies. We specifically refer to “foreign currency” as the impact of translational foreign currency exchange and mark-to-market of inventory derivatives, as described in detail below. This does not include the impact foreign currency exchange rates can have on various transactions that are denominated in a currency other than an operating division's local currency, which is referred to as “transactional foreign exchange,” and also described below.

Translation Foreign Exchange

In our Consolidated Financial Statements, we translate the operations of TJX Canada and TJX International from local currencies into U.S. dollars using currency rates in effect at different points in time. Significant changes in foreign exchange rates between comparable prior periods can result in meaningful variations in assets, liabilities, net sales, net income and earnings per share as well as the net sales and operating results of these segments. Currency translation generally does not affect operating margins, or affects them only slightly, as sales and expenses of the foreign operations are translated at approximately the same rates within a given period.

Mark-to-Market Inventory Derivatives

We routinely enter into inventory-related hedging instruments to mitigate the impact on earnings of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on merchandise purchases denominated in currencies other than the local currencies of our divisions, principally TJX Canada and TJX International. As we have not elected hedge accounting for these instruments, as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we record a mark-to-market gain or loss on the derivative instruments in our results of operations at the end of each reporting period. In subsequent periods, the income statement impact of the mark-to-market adjustment is effectively offset when the inventory being hedged is paid for. While these effects occur every reporting period, they are of much greater magnitude when there are sudden and significant changes in currency exchange rates during a short period of time. The mark-to-market adjustment on these derivatives does not affect net sales, but it does affect the cost of sales, operating margins and earnings we report.

Transactional Foreign Exchange

When discussing the impact on our results of the effect of foreign currency exchange rates on certain transactions, we refer to it as “transactional foreign exchange”. This primarily includes the impact that foreign currency exchange rates may have on the year-over-year comparison of merchandise margin as well as “foreign currency gains and losses” on transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the operating division's local currency. These two items can impact segment margin comparison of our foreign divisions and we have highlighted them when they are meaningful to understanding operating trends.

Cost of Sales, Including Buying and Occupancy Costs

Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs, as a percentage of net sales was 66.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2027, a decrease of 2.7 percentage points compared to 69.3% for the second quarter of fiscal 2026. The decrease in the cost of sales ratio, including buying and occupancy costs, for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 was driven by a net benefit from tariff refunds, and favorable merchandise margin due to higher markon.

Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs, as a percentage of net sales was 67.6% for the first six months of fiscal 2027, a decrease of 2.3 percentage points compared to 69.9% for the first six months of fiscal 2026. The decrease in the cost of sales ratio, including buying and occupancy costs, for the first six months of fiscal 2027 was driven by a net benefit from tariff refunds, favorable merchandise margin due to higher markon, the favorable year-over-year impact related to the mark-to-market adjustments on inventory and fuel hedges and expense leverage on higher comp sales.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses, as a percentage of net sales, was 20.3% for the second quarter of fiscal 2027, an increase of 0.8 percentage points compared to 19.5% for the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

SG&A expenses, as a percentage of net sales, was 19.9% for the first six months of fiscal 2027, an increase of 0.4 percentage points compared to 19.5% for the first six months of fiscal 2026.

The increase in the SG&A ratio for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2027 was driven by incremental compensation expense accruals related to tariff refunds received in the second quarter and incremental store wage and payroll costs.

Interest (Income) Expense, net

The components of interest (income) expense, net are summarized below:

Interest (income) expense, net increased for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2027 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2026, primarily due to an increase in interest income driven by a higher average cash balance, partially offset by a decrease in prevailing rates.

Provision for Income Taxes

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law, making permanent certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% accelerated depreciation deductions on qualified property and immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs, as well as modifying some of the international tax rules. These changes have not had a material impact on our income tax provision for either the second quarter or the first six months of fiscal 2027, and we do not expect them to have a material impact on our income tax provision for the fiscal year.

A number of countries have enacted legislation to implement the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s 15% global minimum tax regime (Pillar Two) with effect from January 1, 2024. A comprehensive Side-by-Side Package was released in January 2026, introducing additional safe harbors and options for companies headquartered in jurisdictions with a qualified Side-by-Side regime. Member countries must enact local legislation or update existing regulations to adopt and incorporate the Pillar Two Side-by-Side Package. We continue to evaluate the impacts of proposed and enacted legislation and regulations for the jurisdictions in which we operate.

The effective income tax rate was 24.7% for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 and 24.5% for the second quarter of fiscal 2026. The increase in the effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 was primarily due to an increase in nondeductible items and foreign withholding taxes, partially offset by an increase in the excess tax benefit from share-based compensation. The effective income tax rate was 23.7% for the first six months of fiscal 2027 and 23.9% for the first six months of fiscal 2026. The decrease in the effective income tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2027 was primarily due to an increase in benefits from the acquisition of federal tax credits and an increase in the excess tax benefit from share-based compensation, partially offset by a reduction in benefits from audit settlements.

Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Net income was $1.5 billion, or $1.36 per diluted share, and $1.2 billion, or $1.10 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2026, respectively. The net benefit from tariff refunds resulted in a benefit of $0.14 on diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2027. Foreign currency had a $0.01 positive impact on diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 and a $0.02 positive impact on diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

Net income was $2.9 billion, or $2.55 per diluted share, and $2.3 billion, or $2.02 per diluted share, for the first six months of fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2026, respectively. The net benefit from tariff refunds resulted in a benefit of $0.14 on diluted earnings per share for the first six months of fiscal 2027. Foreign currency had a $0.02 positive impact on diluted earnings per share for the first six months of fiscal 2027 and a neutral impact on diluted earnings per share for the first six months of fiscal 2026.

Segment Information

We operate four segments. In the United States, our Marmaxx segment operates TJ Maxx, Marshalls, tjmaxx.com and marshalls.com and our HomeGoods segment operates HomeGoods and Homesense. Our TJX Canada segment operates Winners, HomeSense and Marshalls in Canada, and our TJX International segment operates TK Maxx, Homesense, tkmaxx.com, tkmaxx.de, and tkmaxx.at in Europe and TK Maxx in Australia. In addition to our four segments, Sierra operates retail stores and sierra.com in the U.S. The results of Sierra are included in the Marmaxx segment.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based on “segment profit or loss,” which we define as pre-tax income or loss before general corporate expense and interest (income) expense, net, and certain separately disclosed unusual or infrequent items. “Segment profit or loss,” as we define the term, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The terms “segment margin” or “segment profit margin” are used to describe segment profit or loss as a percentage of net sales. These measures of performance should not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flows from operating activities, as an indicator of our performance or as a measure of liquidity.

Presented below is selected financial information related to our segments.

U.S. SEGMENTS

Marmaxx

Net Sales

Net sales for Marmaxx were $9.1 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2027, an increase of 3% compared to $8.8 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2026. This increase in the second quarter reflects a 2% increase from non-comp sales and a 1% increase in comp sales.

Net sales for Marmaxx were $17.8 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2027, an increase of 5% compared to $16.9 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2026. This increase in the first six months reflects a 3% increase in comp sales and a 2% increase from non-comp sales.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2027, the increase in comp sales was driven by a higher average basket, partially offset by a decrease in customer transactions. For the first six months of fiscal 2027, the increase in comp sales was driven by a higher average basket and an increase in customer transactions. Both apparel comp sales growth and home sales growth performed in line with the overall comp sales increase for the second quarter of fiscal 2027. Apparel sales growth outperformed home comp sales growth for the first six months of fiscal 2027. Geographically, each region generally performed in line with comp sales growth for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2027.

Segment Profit Margin

Segment profit margin increased to 15.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to 14.2% for the same period last year. The increase in segment profit margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 was driven by a net benefit from tariff refunds and favorable merchandise margin due to higher markon, partially offset by expense deleverage on lower comp sales and incremental store wage and payroll costs.

Segment profit margin increased to 15.2% for the first six months of fiscal 2027 compared to 14.0% for the same period last year. The increase in segment profit margin for the first six months of fiscal 2027 was driven by a net benefit from tariff refunds and favorable merchandise margin due to higher markon, partially offset by investments in supply chain and incremental store wage and payroll costs.

Our Marmaxx e-commerce sites, tjmaxx.com and marshalls.com, together with sierra.com, represented approximately 2% of Marmaxx’s net sales for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2026, and did not have a significant impact on year-over-year segment margin comparisons.

HomeGoods

Net Sales

Net sales for HomeGoods were $2.5 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2027, an increase of 10%, compared to $2.3 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2026. This increase in the second quarter reflects a 7% increase in comp sales and a 3% increase from non-comp sales.

The increase in comp sales was primarily driven by a higher average basket for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2027. Both periods also had growth in customer transactions. Geographically, all regions saw strong comp sales growth for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2027.

Segment Profit Margin

Segment profit margin increased to 17.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to 10.0% for the same period last year. This increase in segment profit margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 was primarily driven by a net benefit from tariff refunds, favorable merchandise margin, lower supply chain and store costs and expense leverage on higher comp sales, partially offset by incremental store wage and payroll costs. Merchandise margin reflects favorable markon and lower freight costs, partially offset by higher markdowns.

Segment profit margin increased to 15.2% for the first six months of fiscal 2027 compared to 10.1% for the same period last year. This increase in segment profit margin for the first six months of fiscal 2027 was driven by a net benefit from tariff refunds, favorable merchandise margin, expense leverage on higher comp sales and lower supply chain and store costs, partially offset by incremental store wage and payroll costs. Merchandise margin reflects favorable markon and lower freight costs, partially offset by higher markdowns.

FOREIGN SEGMENTS

TJX Canada

Net Sales

Net sales for TJX Canada were $1.5 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2027, an increase of 6%, compared to $1.4 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2026. This increase in the second quarter reflects a 6% increase in comp sales, a 2% increase from non-comp sales, partially offset by a negative foreign currency impact of 2%.

Net sales for TJX Canada were $2.8 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2027, an increase of 9%, compared to $2.5 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2026. This increase in the first six months reflects a 7% increase in comp sales, a 1% increase from non-comp sales and a positive foreign currency impact of 1%.

The increase in comp sales for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2027 was driven by an increase in customer transactions and a higher average basket.

Segment Profit Margin

Segment profit margin decreased to 15.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to 16.0% for the same period last year. This decrease for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 was primarily driven by incremental compensation expense accruals related to tariff refunds and additional payroll costs, partially offset by expense leverage on higher comp sales and favorable merchandise margin. Within merchandise margin, higher markon was driven by the positive impact of transactional foreign exchange on the cost of merchandise, partially offset by higher freight costs.

Segment profit margin increased to 13.8% for the first six months of fiscal 2027 compared to 13.6% for the same period last year. This increase for the first six months of fiscal 2027 was driven by expense leverage on higher comp sales, partially offset by incremental compensation expense accruals related to tariff refunds.

TJX International

Net Sales

Net sales for TJX International were $2.1 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2027, an increase of 11%, compared to $1.9 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

Net sales for TJX International were $4.0 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2027, an increase of 12%, compared to $3.6 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2026. This increase in the first six months reflects a 6% increase in comp sales, positive foreign currency impact of 4% and a 2% increase from non-comp sales.

The increase in comp sales for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2027 was driven by an increase in customer transactions and a higher average basket.

E-commerce sales represented approximately 3% of TJX International’s net sales for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2027 and 2026.

Segment Profit Margin

Segment profit margin increased to 6.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to 5.2% for the same period last year. This increase for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 was primarily driven by favorable merchandise margin and expense leverage on higher comp sales, partially offset by incremental compensation expense accruals related to tariff refunds. Within merchandise margin, higher markon was driven by the positive impact of transactional foreign exchange on the cost of merchandise.

Segment profit margin increased to 5.6% for the first six months of fiscal 2027 compared to 4.8% for the same period last year. This increase for the first six months of fiscal 2027 was driven by favorable merchandise margin and expense leverage on higher comp sales, partially offset incremental compensation expense accruals related to tariff refunds and incremental store wage and payroll costs. Within merchandise margin, higher markon was driven by the positive impact of transactional foreign exchange on the cost of merchandise.

GENERAL CORPORATE EXPENSE

General corporate expense for segment reporting purposes represents those costs not specifically related to the operations of our segments. General corporate expenses are primarily included in SG&A expenses. The mark-to-market adjustment of our fuel and inventory hedges is included in Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs.

The increase in general corporate expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 was primarily driven by the unfavorable year-over-year impact related to the mark-to-market adjustments on inventory and fuel hedge, incremental compensation expense accruals related to tariff refunds and higher other administrative costs.

The decrease in general corporate expense for the first six months of fiscal 2027 was primarily driven by the favorable year-over-year impact related to the mark-to-market adjustments on inventory and fuel hedge, partially offset by higher other administrative costs, incremental compensation expense accruals related to tariff refunds and higher incentive compensation costs.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity requirements have traditionally been funded through cash generated from operations, supplemented, as needed, by short-term bank borrowings and the issuance of commercial paper. As of August 1, 2026, there were no short-term bank borrowings or commercial paper outstanding. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, internally generated funds and our credit facilities, under which facilities we have $1.5 billion available as of the period ended August 1, 2026, are adequate to meet our operating needs for the foreseeable future. Our 2.250% ten-year Notes due September 2026 will mature during our third quarter of fiscal 2027 and are included within our current maturities of long-term debt. For more information, see Note I—Long-Term Debt and Credit Lines of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of August 1, 2026, we held $6.0 billion in cash. Our foreign subsidiaries held $1.6 billion in cash, including approximately $730 million, which represents working capital and is considered indefinitely reinvested. Cash generated from earnings in certain foreign subsidiaries in fiscal 2027 is not considered indefinitely reinvested. We have provided for and recorded a deferred tax liability for all applicable taxes on undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries that are not indefinitely reinvested through August 1, 2026. If we repatriate cash from such subsidiaries, we do not expect to incur additional tax expense and our cash would be reduced by the amount of any taxes paid.

We monitor debt financing markets on an ongoing basis and from time to time may incur additional long-term indebtedness depending on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, existing economic conditions and other factors. Periodically, we have used, and in the future we may again use, operating cash flow and cash on hand to repay portions of our indebtedness, depending on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, existing economic conditions, contractual restrictions and other factors. As such, we may, from time to time, seek to retire, redeem, prepay or purchase our outstanding debt through redemptions, cash purchases, prepayments, refinancings and/or exchanges, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, by tender offer or otherwise.

Operating Activities

Operating activities resulted in net cash inflows of $3.3 billion for the six months ended August 1, 2026 and $2.2 billion for the six months ended August 2, 2025.

Operating cash flows increased $1.1 billion compared to fiscal 2026 primarily due to an increase in net income, which includes the receipt of tariff refunds, and a decrease of prepaid expenses and other current assets related to the receipt of the credit card interchange fees settlement.

Investing Activities

Investing activities resulted in net cash outflows of $1.2 billion for the six months ended August 1, 2026 and $969 million for the six months ended August 2, 2025. The cash outflows for both periods were driven by capital expenditures.

Capital expenditures in the first six months of fiscal 2027 primarily reflected store improvements and renovations, investments in our new stores, as well as investments in our distribution centers and offices, including information technology. We anticipate that capital spending for the full fiscal year 2027 will be approximately $2.2 billion to $2.3 billion. We plan to fund these expenditures with our existing cash balances and through internally generated funds.

Financing Activities

Financing activities resulted in net cash outflows of $2.4 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2027 and $2 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2026. The cash outflows for both periods were primarily driven by equity repurchases and dividend payments.

Debt

We intend to repay the $1 billion 2.250% ten-year Notes due September 2026 during the third quarter of fiscal 2027 upon maturity using operating cash flows. For more information, see Note I – Long-Term debt and Credit Lines of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Equity

Under our stock repurchase program, we paid $1.4 billion to repurchase and retire 8.9 million shares of our stock in the first six months of fiscal 2027. We paid $1.1 billion to repurchase and retire 9.2 million shares of our stock in the first six months of fiscal 2026.

We currently plan to repurchase approximately $2.75 billion to $3.0 billion of common stock under our stock repurchase program for fiscal 2027. As of August 1, 2026, approximately $2.7 billion remained available under our existing stock repurchase program. For further information regarding equity repurchases, see Note D – Capital Stock and Earnings Per Share of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Dividends

We declared quarterly dividends on our common stock of $0.48 per share for each of the quarters in the first six months of fiscal 2027 and $0.425 per share for each of the quarters in the first six months of fiscal 2026. Cash payments for dividends on our common stock totaled $1 billion for the first six months of fiscal 2027 and $898 million for the first six months of fiscal 2026.
