Margins
For the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company’s consolidated pretax profit margin was 7.5%. Excluding a 1.9 percentage point negative impact from a charge related to a write-down of the Company’s minority investment in Familia (see below), adjusted consolidated pretax margin was 9.4%, compared to 7.2% in the first quarter of Fiscal 2022. This increase was driven by a benefit from a reduction in COVID-related expenses and the annualization of temporary store closures internationally last year, the Company’s pricing initiative, and strong markon. These benefits were partially offset by approximately 2.2 percentage points of incremental freight pressure and approximately 0.7 percentage points of incremental wage pressure.
Gross profit margin for the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 was 27.9%, a 0.2 percentage point decrease versus the first quarter of Fiscal 2022. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs as a percent of sales for the first quarter of Fiscal 2023 were 18.4%, a 2.1 percentage point decrease versus the first quarter of Fiscal 2022.

Fiscal 2023 U.S. Comparable Store Sales
For Fiscal 2023, the Company returned to its historical definition of comparable store sales. While stores in the
Fiscal 2022 Open-Only Comp Store Sales
Due to the temporary closing of stores as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the Company’s historical definition of comp store sales was not applicable in Fiscal 2022. In order to provide a performance indicator for its stores, the Company temporarily reported open-only comp store sales. The Company’s open-only comp store sales calculation includes stores initially classified as comp stores at the beginning of Fiscal 2021. This measure reports the sales increase or decrease of these stores for the days the stores were open in Fiscal 2022 against sales for the same days in Fiscal 2020, prior to the emergence of the global pandemic.
Global Corporate Responsibility
In the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company announced four new environmental sustainability goals that expanded and accelerated the Company’s previous environmental commitments. These new goals further demonstrate the Company’s continued commitment to pursuing initiatives that are environmentally responsible and smart for business.
As part of the Company’s global environmental sustainability efforts, the Company is aiming to:
- Achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in its operations by 2040
- Source 100% renewable energy in its operations by 2030
- Divert 85% of its operational waste from landfill by 2027
- Shift 100% of the packaging for products developed in-house by its product design team to be reusable, recyclable, or contain sustainable materials by 2030
More information about the Company’s environmental sustainability efforts, including progress toward its previously set global science-based GHG emissions reduction target, is available at www.tjx.com/responsibility/environment/.
