Carol Meyrowitz, Chief Executive Officer of The TJX Companies, Inc., stated, "The year 2013 was another successful year for TJX, on top of many great years. We achieved EPS growth of 15% over last year's adjusted 24% increase, and consolidated comp sales increased 3% over last year's 7% increase. In the U.S., Marmaxx and HomeGoods continued their excellent, consistent performance.

“We also successfully launched tjmaxx.com, which, along with the smooth transition of Sierra Trading Post into TJX, gives more consumers the ability and convenience to shop our great values 24 hours a day, seven days a week. TJX Canada was in line with our plan for the year and continued to expand Marshalls across that country.

“TJX Europe delivered another outstanding year, and we could not be more excited about our international growth opportunities! We delivered these results in a competitive retail environment and despite generally unfavorable weather in many of our regions during the first and fourth quarters. We believe this speaks to the resiliency and flexibility of our off-price model, as we exceeded our long-term plan of 10% to 13% compound annual EPS growth for the fifth consecutive year."
