EXHIBIT 99.2 THE TJX COMPANIES, INC. PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) On October 18, 1996, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement with Brylane, L.P. to sell its Chadwick's of Boston catalog operation (Chadwick's). The purchase price includes $222.8 million in cash and a $20 million convertible subordinated note. The cash purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the actual closing balance sheet of Chadwick's. In addition, the Company will retain Chadwick's consumer credit card receivables. The Company anticipates consummating the sale in late November or early December, 1996. The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 26, 1996 is based on the unaudited historical balance sheet of the Company as of October 26, 1996, which reflects the Chadwick's division as a discontinued operation. The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 26, 1996 assumes the sale of the division took place on that date and includes the following pro forma adjustments: a) receipt of cash proceeds and note receivable from Brylane, L.P., elimination of the net assets of Chadwick's sold and recognition of the estimated net gain on the sale of the division; b) the conversion of the Company's Series D preferred stock into common stock following a required call for redemption as a result of the sale; and c) the impact of the prepayment of a portion of the $375 million term loan incurred to acquire Marshalls from the cash proceeds from the sale of Chadwick's. The remaining net assets from discontinued operations represents the consumer credit receivables retained by TJX that will be collected subsequent to the balance sheet date. The Company anticipates using available cash balances and/or proceeds from the Chadwick's sale to fully retire the term loan in the Company's fourth quarter period ending January 25, 1997, which is only partially reflected in these pro formas. The pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the twelve months ended January 27, 1996 is based on the audited historical statement of income of the Company as reported on Form 10-K for the year ended January 27, 1996 which includes Marshalls operating results since its acquisition by the Company on November 17, 1995. (See the Company's filing on Form 8-K dated as of November 17, 1995 and subsequent amendment.) These historical results will be restated to present Chadwick's as a discontinued operation in future filings that include this period. The elimination of Chadwick's from continuing operations is presented here as a pro forma adjustment. The pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended October 26, 1996 is based on the unaudited historical statement of income F-1 of the Company filed with the Company's Form 10-Q, which already reflects the operating results of Chadwick's as a discontinued operation. The historical results of the Company for the twelve months ended January 27, 1996 have first been adjusted to reflect the acquisition of Marshalls as if it had occurred on the first day of the fiscal year. The pro forma adjustments include the historical results of Marshalls from January 29, 1995 through the acquisition date as well as adjustments for the impact of the purchase accounting method and the impact of the preferred stock issued and debt incurred as a result of the acquisition. The pro forma results reflecting the acquisition of Marshalls for the twelve months ended January 27, 1996 and the historical results for the nine months ended October 26, 1996 are adjusted to reflect the sale of the Chadwick's division as if it also occurred on the first day of the fiscal year ended January 27, 1996. In addition to the pro forma adjustment to eliminate Chadwick's from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended January 27, 1996, the pro forma adjustments to both periods to reflect the sale of Chadwick's include a reduction in interest expense due to the prepayment of debt from the cash proceeds received, and the recognition of interest income on the convertible subordinated note receivable. The pro forma statements of income exclude the non-recurring gain of approximately $125 million the Company will recognize upon the sale of the division and exclude a non-recurring charge of approximately $1.6 million for the partial prepayment of debt. These pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared for information purposes only and do not necessarily indicate what would have occurred had the acquisition of Marshalls and the sale of Chadwick's taken place on the dates indicated. Specifically, the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the twelve months ended January 27, 1996 includes the historical results of Marshalls which is not necessarily indicative of current results. Thus, the pro forma statement of income for the twelve months ended January 27, 1996 does not fully reflect the impact that Marshalls has had on the Company's results, nor is it necessarily indicative of the impact that Marshalls may have on future results of the Company. In addition, the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the final allocation of the purchase price for Marshalls and do not reflect benefit of the full prepayment of the $375 million term loan anticipated to take place in the Company's fourth quarter period ending January 25, 1997. The accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company, the Company's Form 8-K dated November 17, 1995 (and subsequent amendment) relating to the Marshalls acquisition and the Company's Form 8-K dated October 18, 1996 relating to the agreement to sell the Chadwick's division.
