TJX Companies announced their financial results from the first quarter of 2020, which featured net sales of $4.4 billion. Their net loss was $887 million, with a loss per share of $.74.
Beginning May 2, TJX Companies reopened stores in select states, while adhering to local government guidelines. Initial sales have already been above last year’s numbers across all states and for stores that have been reopened for at least a week.
“Although it’s still early and the retail environment remains uncertain, we have been encouraged with the very strong sales we have seen with our initial reopenings. We believe this very strong start speaks to our compelling value proposition and the appeal of our treasure-hunt shopping experience, as well as pent-up demand,” stated Ernie Herrman, Chief Executive Officer and President of TJX Companies.
