Message from the President

The President thanks our customers for support during a challenging environment, announcing our Global Vision efforts and our 
aim to be “A Company Selected By Customers.” Human life is our top priority, so relief and regional recovery came first in the 
aftermath of the earthquake. Next, we set about restarting production, deploying the awesome power of superior “on-the-spot” 
efforts for rapid production normalization. We are holding our course toward sustained growth amidst challenging circumstances.

Toyota Global Vision

Our  new  vision  clarifies  the  kind  of  company  Toyota  seeks  to  be  and  our  course  for  realizing  a  “regional  initiative”  structure  for 
sustained growth. We aim for coexistence and co-prosperity with customers and society by building better cars and creating good 
communities and a good society, providing earnings for a stable business/earnings foundation (consolidated operating margin 5% 
on unit sales of 7.5 million, ¥85/US$1 (operating income approx. ¥1 trillion) and nonconsolidated operating income profitability).

Special Feature: Toyota’s Safety Technology

Toyota  seeks  to  offer  products  that  exceed  customer  expectations  for  safety  and  quality,  and  is  working  to  contribute 
to  achieving  zero  traffic  injuries  and  fatalities,  which  is  the  ultimate  goal  of  the  mobility  society.  We  introduce  the  three 
perspectives  we  take  in  striving  to  provide  the  world’s  highest  level  of  safety:  Our  basic  safe  philosophy,  the  leading-edge 
technologies we employ to achieve safer vehicles, and future direction of safety technologies.

New Business: Toyota’s Smart Grid Efforts

Realizing  the  “future  mobility  society”  conceived  in  our  new  vision  requires  the  broad  acceptance  of  next-generation 
environmentally-friendly vehicles. We introduce the smart grids that will provide the infrastructure to make this possible, giving 
an outline of the overall concept and discussing the trials that will lead to their realization and ties with other companies, such 
as Microsoft, that will speed up the process.

New Management Structure

We  revamped  our  management  structure  on  April  1,  2011,  so  as  to  achieve  our  new  vision.  We  introduce  structures  for 
making  prompt  management  decisions  based  on  onsite  information  and  customer  opinions  and  creating  a  structure  for 
management that is closely attuned to what is happening at actual sites.

Outline of Results and Future Prospects: Message from the Executive Vice President Responsible for Accounting
During  the  fiscal  2011  we  bounced  back  from  challenging  circumstances  to  produce  results  showing  improved  earnings 
and  profits.  We  will  continue  toward  the  goal  set  forth  in  our  Global  Vision  of  building  consistent,  solid  profitability  in 
nonconsolidated  operating income, with a consolidated operating  margin of  5% and operating income  of around ¥1  trillion, 
even under such severe conditions as an exchange rate of ¥85/US$1 and consolidated unit sales of 7.5 million.

I  would  like  to  start  by  offering  sincere  condolences  on  behalf  of 
everyone at Toyota to those who have faced great hardship due to 
the Great East Japan Earthquake.

There are currently a number of measures being undertaken for 
post-disaster  revival,  and  we  believe  that  we  must  give  our  all  in 
contributing to the revival of the automobile industry and the manufac-
turing sector as a whole. For Toyota, this means that now, more than 
ever,  we  must  remain  strongly  aware  of  our  founding  principle  of 
contributing  to  society  through  the  production  of  automobiles  and 
that we must put to use the experience that has enabled us to meet 
the challenges of enormous changes in the past.

The recent disaster has highlighted not only for Japan but also for 
the whole world the important role of northeastern Japan and northern 
Kanto in Japan’s component manufacturing industry. I believe that all 
of us must work together to find the path to recovery and revival, so 
that the stricken regions can continue to be a base of manufacturing 
and that the Japanese manufacturing sector can continue to develop.
  One of Toyota’s strengths lies in our focus on the power of the 
workplace,  which  is  now  underpinned  by  our  sense  of  crisis  and 
sense of mission. Toyota’s top management is continually observing 
the workplace, aiming to create a shared understanding with those 
onsite that there is no limit to human capacity and ingenuity as we 
seek solutions that bring us closer, one step at a time, to recovery 
and revival.

For Toyota, 2010 was a year in which a series of quality issues 
spurred  us  to  return  to  our  roots  and  to  work  on  restoring  trust  by 
rebuilding relationships with our customers, dealers and suppliers. In 
returning to the spirit of manufacturing and car building that Toyota 
has embraced since its founding and aiming to realize an even higher 
level of safety and security from the standpoint of our customers, we 
have placed increasing emphasis on being on the spot and are now 
even  more  focused  on  building  ever-better  automobiles.  We  are 
continuing  to  enhance  our  thorough  quality  assurance  and  quality 
control systems on a global level.
  We  will  continue  to  strengthen  these  efforts,  aiming  to  realize 
continuous growth through the thorough application of our principles 
of “customer-first,” “genchi genbutsu (onsite, hands-on experience)” 
and “good quality, affordable price.” We will also employ innovation 
based  on  knowledge  and  continuous  improvement  to  earn  the 
satisfaction of our customers and to contribute to the kind of future 
mobility that the world needs.

In  closing,  I  would  like  to  thank  all  of  our  stakeholders  for  their 

ongoing understanding and support.

I would like to begin by offering thanks for the continued support and 
understanding  of  all  of  our  stakeholders.  In  addition,  on  behalf  of 
everyone at Toyota I would like to express my wishes for the restful 
peace of all those we lost to the Great East Japan Earthquake, and to 
offer our sincerest sympathies to all who have suffered through this 
great tragedy.
  When  I  reflect  on  the  past  year,  I  am  touched  by  the  support 
offered by so many of our customers and stakeholders as we dealt 
with  the  ongoing  effects  of  the  global  financial  crisis,  as  well  as 
product quality and safety issues. I offer my sincerest gratitude.

Learning  from  these  experiences,  I  continued  to  ask  myself, 
“What  kind  of  company  do  we  want  Toyota  to  be?  What  kind  of 
company should Toyota be?” I realized that Toyota should strive to be 
a company that people choose, and that people are happy to have 
chosen. The Global Vision we announced in March is strongly imbued 
with these ideas.

The  Great  East  Japan  Earthquake  struck  two  days  after  we 
announced  our  Global  Vision.  Our  employees  entered  the  stricken 
areas  in  the  immediate  aftermath  of  the  earthquake  and  began 
providing support, working together with local residents to reconstruct 
and restore communities. Upon viewing the situation after the disaster, 
our support teams assessed the situation, quickly worked out what 
was best for the communities and immediately set about their tasks 
accordingly. This represents the very spirit of Toyota’s “power of the 
workplace”—an asset built up and handed down through 70 years of 
Toyota history. Priority was given to rescuing and preserving life, then 
to the restoration of the communities, with restarting production only 
considered after the situation stabilized. 

Thanks  to  these  tremendous  frontline  efforts,  the  work  to  get 
production  back  to  normal  proceeded  at  a  feverish  pitch.  After  a 
short delay, we were able to announce our financial, production, and 
sales forecasts in June.
  When  we  announced  our  Global  Vision,  we  noted  the  need  to 
quickly establish a revenue base that provides operating income of 
around ¥1 trillion, even with an exchange rate of ¥85 to the U.S. dollar 
and sales of 7.5 million units.  With our breakeven point now more 
than 1 million vehicles lower compared to what it was at the time of 
our worst reported loss, we are now on pace to reach that income 
target  despite  the  effects  of  the  disaster.  Compared  with  our  past 
earnings  of  more  than  ¥2  trillion,  this  goal  may  seem  insufficient. 
However,  I  believe  that  being  able  to  make  a  steady  profit  while 
meeting  all  tax  obligations—no  matter  the  economic  situation—is 
more meaningful than making a lot of money during the good times. 
I believe that the shareholders who keep their shares even during 
a  difficult  business  environment  are  the  ones  who  understand  and 
truly  support  Toyota.  I want  to  meet  the  expectations  of  those 
shareholders, so the course I am charting is one that I strongly believe 
will lead to continuous growth.

Toyota will continue to work to be a company that exceeds the 
expectations of all our stakeholders and brings smiles to the faces of 
our customers. We ask for your continued support of our efforts.

Exceeding Expectations to Achieve Growth
Toyota Global Vision

Goals of Our Vision

Regional entities to drive further evolution of “Customer First” and “genchi genbutsu”

Toyota has engaged in a variety of management reforms in response to the industry environment.
Our new Global Vision clarifies the corporate image and values for which we aim. Our goal is to 
achieve future growth based on the lessons we have learned and our reflection on our experiences 
associated with the deterioration of the management environment caused by the Lehman shock 
and a series of quality issues. Henceforth, we will establish posts in each region of the world 
based on this vision and achieve continuous growth through a structure composed of regional 
entities that conduct our actual business.

Toyota Global Vision

Toyota will lead the way to the future of mobility,

enriching lives around the world with the safest

and most responsible ways of moving people.

Through our commitment to quality,

constant innovation and respect for the planet,

we aim to exceed expectations

and be rewarded with a smile.

We will meet challenging goals by engaging 

the talent and passion of people,

who believe there is always a better way.

The  Toyota  Global  Vision  offers  automobile 
manufacturing that exceeds customer expectations 
and a new mobility society based on the Toyota 
Precepts, the Toyota Guiding Principles and the 
Toyota  Way,  which  have  been  the  guiding  aim 
of  our  spirit  of  manufacturing  (monozukuri ) 
throughout  our  74-year  history.  By  building  a 
stable  management  foundation  from  revenues 
gained  through  coexistence  and  co-prosperity 
with  society  and  our  customers,  as  well  as  by 
contributing 
local 
communities, we can create a virtuous cycle for 
continuous growth.

to 

This  Global  Vision  calls  for  management  at 
the head office to determine our overall direction 
and  conduct  regional  support,  whereas  the 
regional  entities  around  the  world,  which  are 
closest  to  their  customers,  make  independent 
decisions. What this means is realizing “Customer 
First”  and  “genchi  genbutsu.”  This  concept 
represents a change in the management structure 
aimed  at  rapid  feedback  from  actual  locations 
and using that feedback in decision making, while 
always being able to ensure that such decisions 
are acceptable to society.

we will conduct our business so as to achieve continuous growth through a virtuous cycle comprising these three elements.

Building a strong revenue base and altering the management structure

Strategies and important efforts by region

For  the  steady  execution  of  a  business  strategy 
based on our regional entities, we will strengthen 
the three core functions of quality maximization, 
cost  minimization  and  human 
resources 
development, while establishing a solid business 
foundation  that  balances  quality  and  cost.  The 
management structure has been altered so as to 
achieve  early  realization  of  these  goals.  Our 
efforts to transfer authority from the head office to 
regional  entities  and  achieve  efficient  business 
management  at  the  local  level  include  reducing 
the number of directors, cutting away some layers 
of  decision  making,  stationing  Regional  Chief 
Officers for localized decision making by overseas 

affiliates, using external experts to gain feedback 
from  outside  the  company  and  establishing  the 
Executive  General  Manager  position  to  promote 
local management.

As  a  result,  even  in  a  tough  business 
environment in which we are contending with an 
exchange  rate  in  the  range  of  US$1/¥85  and 
vehicle sales of 7.5 million units, we are building a 
firm management structure through which we can 
soon achieve a consolidated operating margin of 
5%, operating income of around ¥1 trillion and a 
return to profitability in non-consolidated operating 
income.

To achieve a 50/50 sales ratio between Japan/Europe/United States and the emerging markets
by leveraging the Toyota product appeal, thereby exceeding expectations
Making Cars that Customers in Each Region Demand

Until now, Toyota has pursued the production of what we considered “good cars,” based on our principles 
of “Customer First,” “genchi genbutsu” and “Good quality at an affordable price.” Our new vision calls for 
us to build “better cars” that impress our customers by exceeding their expectations. This means fusing 
the needs of customers around the world, the values of society and Toyota’s advanced technologies.

Delivering such cars with the right timing means expanding production capacity in emerging markets 
in accordance with the expansion of these markets and revising model production in developed markets 
to correspond to changes in their market structures. We also must make efforts to optimize and rebuild 
our production structure to make it flexible, efficient and resistant to foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

manufacturing  in  Japan  continues  to  employ 
leading-edge  technologies  in  making  high-value-
added products, so as to uphold its core role in our

emerging markets, we are looking into the timing 
and scale of investment for capacity expansion.

In terms of our sales strategy, we are develop-
ing sales for an environment-friendly vehicles society 

that  is  being  increasingly  demanded  not  only  in 
Japan, the United States and Europe but also in the 
emerging markets. We are also working to strengthen

We will introduce about 10 new hybrid models by 
2015.  These  will  include  compact  hybrids  that 
with  fuel  economy  rated  at  40  km/l  or  higher, 
which will create true product appeal that exceeds

Realizing the Future Mobility Society

Our new Global Vision promises our customers that we will contribute to enriching the lives of communities 
along with better vehicles. Our goal is to be accepted as a good corporate citizen by membership in 
such “better communities” through our contributions to creating comfortable, livable towns. These include 
offering comfortable, low-carbon automobiles and new lifestyles through the early practical application 
of personal robots for mobility support and healthcare, as well as the popularization of hybrids and other 
next-generation  environment-friendly  cars,  and  safe  motoring  through  the  integration  of  vehicles  with 
infrastructure.

Toyota’s approach to environmental technology development

Toyota’s  three  major  environmental  technology 
development themes are energy source diversity, 
CO2 emission (global warming prevention) reduc-
tion  and  air  pollution  prevention.  Based  on  this 
approach,  we  are  working  to  improve  the  fuel 
economy  of  cars  using  conventional  engines, 
which make up the majority of our sales. We have 
also made hybrid (HV) technology our core tech-
nology  in  next-generation  environment-friendly 
cars development because it includes the com-
ponent technologies used in the development of 
all types of environment-friendly cars.

The  popularization  of  environment-friendly 
cars  is  our  primary  environmental  contribution. 
Customers  make  different  decisions  about  what 
kind of environment-friendly cars they want, so we 
are  developing  all  types  of  next-generation 
environment-friendly  cars,  including  PHVs,  EVs 
and FCVs, so that the 
customer can decide 
which  is  most  suit-
able in terms of use, 
performance,  price 
and other factors.

New business strategy

Contributing to building next-generation environment-friendly 
“smart communities” using smart grids

Toyota sees the next major step in realizing a low-
carbon  society  as  the  use  of  new  smart  power 
grids, for which IT is used to control power sup-
plies  to  make  them  stable  and  achieve  energy 
conservation.  The  Toyota  smart  grid  ties  in  the 
recharging  of  next-generation  environment-
friendly cars (PHV and EV) batteries with “smart 
houses” under development by Toyota Housing 
(houses  equipped  with  solar  power  generators 
and  storage  batteries,  as  well  as  control  func-
tions  for  efficient  electricity  consumption).  We 
aim  to  create  a  grand  next-generation  environ-
mental city of “smart communities” by gradually 
popularizing this concept.

Last  year,  we  developed  the  Toyota  Smart 
Center, a system that links vehicles, homes and 
information,  and  enables  integrated  control  of 
energy  data  and  information,  with  trials  of  the 
system  conducted  beginning  this  September 
over smart grids in Toyota City. Toyota will con-
tinue  to  conduct  trials  and  tie-ins  with  other 
industries, with the goal of marketing the system. 
Our  goal  is  to  offer 
new  products  and 
services correspond-
ing  to  the  economic 
and social conditions 
of each region.

Safe and Secure Mobility
Toyota’s Approach to Safety

Our three-pronged integrated approach to technology development combining safe vehicles, traffic safety education activities and 

the creation of a safe traffic environment is a natural consequence of our guiding principle of always providing safe products. 

This approach pleases our customers with safety and quality and contributes to achieving zero casualties from traffic accidents, 

which is the ultimate goal of the future mobility society. 

The real question is how do we relate to people and communities. What are our goals?

The following section provides a comprehensive overview of Toyota’s approach to safety, focusing on our safety technologies.

Our Basic Safe Vehicle Philosophy

Contributing to the ultimate goal of the future mobility society: 
Zero casualties from traffic accidents

Toyota’s Global Vision reveals that safety is Toyota’s highest priority and it is important to provide highly 
reliable quality that will enable people to feel good about driving and riding in its vehicles. Toyota takes 
a three-pronged approach to safety that integrates people, cars and the traffic environment. By doing so, 
we  seek  to  contribute  to  the  ultimate  goal  of  the  future  mobility  society,  which  is  zero  casualties  from 
traffic  accidents.  Another  of  our  core  philosophies  is  to  pursue  real  safety  by  learning  from  actual 
accidents and continuing to evolve for substantially enhanced safety.

Safety through our three-pronged integrated approach and 
the real safety lessons learned by studying accidents

In  regions  that  are  rapidly  becoming  motorized, 
driver awareness programs, such as traffic safety 
education, are indispensible, as are improvements 
to  the  traffic  environment  that  make  accidents 
less  likely.  We  believe  that  our  three-pronged 
integrated  approach,  which  combines  vehicle 
safety with traffic safety education activities and 
traffic  environment  improvements,  is  vital  to 
realizing a safe mobility society. At the same time, 
we pursue real safety through the study of actual 
accidents.  Accident  investigations  and  analysis 
to reveal the causes of accidents and injuries can 
help to pursue safety technologies. We continue 
to investigate and analyze accidents after vehicles 
we have developed reach the market, so we can 
confirm their effectiveness.

These two approaches formed the foundation 
of  the  Integrated  Safety  Management  Concept 
we announced in 2006, and we proceeded with 
the  development  of  “vehicles  that  support  the 
driver in avoiding dangerous situations” by linking 
individual  safety  technologies  and  systems.  In 
January  2011,  we  established  the  Collaborative 
Safety Research Center in North America as our 

new  base  for  accident  analysis  and  problem 
resolution. Toyota’s research goal is to contribute 
to the realization of a safe mobility society through 
improved  driver  and  pedestrian  safety  and 
security.

Three-pronged approach integrating people, cars and the traffic environment

The  number  of  traffic  fatalities  in  Japan  in  2009 
was just under 5,000, which is roughly one-third 
lower than the historical high. It is likely that this 
reduction 
is  not  only  because  of  vehicle 
development  but  also  as  a  result  of  people-
oriented  measures,  such  as  improved  rates  of 
seat-belt  usage  and  stricter  penalties  for  traffic 
violations,  as  well  as  efforts  to  create  a  better 
traffic  safety  environment,  such  as  making 
improvements  at 
the 
incidence of accidents is high.

Traffic safety education activities for people
Toyota  has  conducted  traffic  safety  education 
activities for drivers since 1960, and in 2005 we 
established the TOYOTA Safety Education Center 
“mobilitas”  at  Fuji  Speedway  with  the  goal  of 
increasing 
traffic  safety  awareness  among 
everyone  involved  in  the  traffic  infrastructure.  At 
“mobilitas,”  we  conduct  high-quality  safe  driver 
training,  ranging  from  classroom  lectures  to 
training  on  specialized  courses,  for  the  general 
public,  as  well  as  for  companies  and  other 
organizations.

Vehicle technology for helping to 
prevent accidents  and crash safety

Toyota’s  pursuit  of  vehicle  safety  led  to  the 
development and adoption of technologies such 
as  VSC  (Vehicle  Stability  Control)  and  GOA 
(Global  Outstanding  Assessment)  in  1995  and 
PCS (Pre-Crash Safety System) in 2003, each of 
which was the first of its kind in the world. Toyota 
will continue to lead the world in developing active 
safety  technology  that  supports  the  driver  in 

avoiding dangerous situations as well as passive 
safety  technology  that  contributes  to  injury 
reduction  of  driver  and  passengers  on  vehicle 
collision. We plan to adopt these technologies in 
most models and encourage their use.

Working with government agencies for 
enhanced traffic environment safety

Toyota is going further in our efforts to enhance 
traffic environments by participating in “smartway” 
projects (next-generation roadways that use IT to 
link  people,  cars  and  roadways)  in  cooperation 
with  government  agencies.  We  will  continue  our 
R&D  and  testing  of  the  next-generation  vehicle 
infrastructure integration system.

Developing effective safety technology through 
accident reconstruction and analysis

Toyota’s safety technology development pursues real safety. Our first step is to analyze a broad spectrum 
of accident investigation data to determine why an accident occurred and what kinds of injuries were 
incurred.  Next,  the  accident  is  reconstructed  through  a  simulation  and  applicable  technologies  are 
developed. In the final stage we conduct vehicle tests to confirm that the targeted performance has been 
achieved.
  We  continue  to  investigate  and  analyze  accidents  after  the  vehicle  have  reached  the  market.  By 
repeating these steps, we pursue to develop safety technologies. This indicates the substantial importance 
of fundamental technologies for accident reconstruction in the development of safety technologies.

Driving Simulator

In  2008,  Toyota  developed  one  of  the  world’s  largest  driving  simulator, 
equipped  with  a  high-resolution  imaging  system  and  providing  a  full 
360-degree driving perspective. This allows research on the driver behavior 
that precedes crashes, which is difficult to be conducted in a real environment. 
By repeating the same conditions multiple times, it is possible to examine 
the benefits of safety assist equipment.

For example, when measuring the effects of the PCS (Pre-Crash Safety 
System),  it  is  possible  to  sample  and  analyze  the  behavior  of  a  variety  of 
drivers  by  assessing  different  drivers  under  repeated,  identical  conditions. 
Also, the simulator makes it possible to reconstruct driving condition in a state 
of reduced consciousness and thereby we are developing technologies for a 
safety guidance system to early detect states of mind unsuitable for driving.

Toyota will continue to utilize our driving simulators for tasks such as the 
analysis of human behavior and measuring the effectiveness of safety systems.

Ascertaining injury mechanisms
THUMS—the virtual human model

Although crash test dummies used to test the effects of crashes on the hu-
man body allow for comparisons of load magnitude on the body, they do not 
provide the means for analyzing injury mechanisms. This is particularly true 
in the case of pedestrian accidents, in which body positions change moment 
by moment, making it difficult to examine what happened where. To meet 
that challenge, in 2000 Toyota and Toyota Central R&D Labs developed hu-
man models known as THUMS (Total Human Model for Safety), starting off 
with a skeletal model on which the human body is precisely reproduced. The 
current THUMS Version 4 is made up of 2 million elements. The digital repre-
sentation of parts of the body such as the brain, internal organs and muscles 
enables a detailed analysis of the crash impact on organs.

THUMS: THUMS allows highly detailed analysis of bone fractures, severed ligaments, etc., by simu-
lating many characteristics of the human body, ranging from the shape of the body to its skeletal 
structure  and  skin.  Toyota  began  developing  THUMS  in  1997  in  cooperation  with  Toyota  Central 
R&D Labs, Inc. Version 1 was completed and commercially launched in 2000, followed by Version 2 
in 2004, which added a face and bones to the model. Version 3 was launched in 2008 through the 
completion of a model to which a brain was added in 2006. Version 4, with detailed modeling of the 
shape of internal organs made using high-resolution CT scans, was completed and released in 2010.

Integrating Leading-Edge Safety Technologies Aiming to Make Vehicles Less Likely to Be Involved in an Accident

Toyota technology aiming to minimize risk at every driving stage

Pre-crash safety technologies

Rescue-related technologies

Toyota’s  Integrated  Safety  Management  Concept,  which  is  rooted  in  our  technological  development, 
should not be thought of as a collection of independent safety systems installed in a vehicle. Rather, the 
goal is to link each of these systems to enhance overall effectiveness. Not only the conventional safety 
technology area which is focused on the sequence just before and after the accident, we are focusing to 
provide optimal support at every driving stage, from being parked through normal driving, pre-crash, post-
crash to the arrival of rescue. We are developing active safety, pre-crash safety, passive safety and rescue 
technologies with the goal of producing vehicles  that support the driver in avoiding dangerous situations.

Active safety technology

VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
When  this  driver  support  system  senses  a  loss  of 
traction  or  a  slip  during  cornering  or  on  a  slippery 
road,  braking  is  automatically  applied  to  all  four 
individual wheels and engine power is reduced.

VDIM (Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management)
The  goal  of  the  VDIM  is  to  provide  stability  of  the 
vehicle  based  on  vehicle  performance  control 
technology. Great passive safety and ideal maneu-
verability  plus  driving  stability  are  fundamental 
elements  of  success.  The  VDIM  effectively  aims  to 
reduce the possibility of an accident by integrating 
ABS, TRC, VSC and power steering together as one.

Variable light distribution headlamps (ADB)
We are developing an ADB system that aims to retain 
night  time  visibility  nearly  equivalent  to  high-beam 
illumination  while  high-beam  light  from  ADB-fitted 
vehicle is partially shielded by ECV automatically to 
prevent  glare  that  can  interfere  with  the  visibility  of 
drivers of vehicles ahead.

Wrong way driving alert for navigation systems
Drivers unaware that they are on the wrong side of 
the road can cause serious highway accidents. Our 
navigation  system  sense  when  the  car  is  traveling 
against traffic and alert the driver.

Infrastructure-linked 
driving support safety system
These systems offer transmission between the road 
and the vehicle, or between vehicles, to help drivers 
prevent accidents. (ITS Spot Service (DSRC) vehicle

Development of the pre-crash safety system
When  the  pre-crash  safety  system  detects  an 
obstruction and determines the possibility of collision, 
it notifies the driver with a warning buzzer. Then the 
pre-crash brake assist is activated and increases the 
braking  force  when  the  driver  hits  the  brake.  By 
accident 
through 
avoidance  maneuverability 
extended nighttime sensor range and the integration 
control of breaking and steering, we are seeking to 
develop  pre-crash  safety  system  which  helps  to 
avoid  collision  as  well  as  reduce  collision  damage 
via a “collision avoidance support system.”

Passive safety technologies

Emergency-response technology
We are developing technologies that predict danger 
prior  to  emergencies  caused  by  the  driver  losing 
consciousness, such steering wheels equipped with 
cardiovascular monitors that check for abnormalities 
while the steering wheel is gripped. In the future, we 
aim  to  commercialize  systems  that  can  assist  daily

Vehicle bodies which help to mitigate pedestrian injury
Toyota  began  manufacturing  vehicle  bodies  that  help  mitigate  pedestrian  injury  in  2001  and  has  been 
expanding their use. Also, we are developing a pop-up hood that even  applies to vehicles with low hoods 
that  cannot  maintain  sufficient  space  underneath  by  which  bumper  sensors  will  detect  a  collision  with  a 
pedestrian,  automatically  lifting  the  back  section  of  the  hood  to  expand  the  space  under  the  hood.  This 
contributes to a reduction of head injuries to the pedestrians.

Customers can feel good about driving and riding in Toyota’s vehicles

Toyota is engaged in developing both active and passive safety technologies, based on the Integrated 
Safety Management Concept, so as to achieve the future mobility society’s ultimate goal of zero casualties 
from traffic accidents. Under the Integrated Safety Management Concept, Toyota is pursuing safety by 
linking the various safety systems installed in vehicles.
  We  also  intend  to  secure  product  safety  by  thoroughly  incorporating  data  from  simulation  and 
accident analyses, as well as feedback from customers, in our technology development.

In addition to the reliability design that Toyota has focused on until now for reliable products that are 
durable, we are pursuing safety design which aims to avoid occurrance of safety issues when malfunctions 
occur in the vehicles or when our customers drive the vehicles and such design that takes into consideration 
customers feelings.

Market Environment and Performance Summary

During  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2011, 
Automotive  Operations  continued  to  expand  in 
China  and  other  emerging  markets.  The  market 
was  characterized  by  a  transition  to  small  and 
low-priced vehicles, in addition to which growing 
environmental  awareness  across 
the  globe 
spurred 
the  active  development  of  new 
technologies and the introduction of new products.
  Within this market environment, consolidated 
vehicle sales both in Japan and overseas (including 
Daihatsu and Hino) reached 7.31 million units, an 
increase  of  71  thousand  units,  or  1%,  over  the 
previous  fiscal  year.  Consolidated  vehicle 
production also increased, rising by 360 thousand 
units,  or  5.3%  year-on-year,  to  7.17  million  units. 
Due  to  the  rise  in  both  vehicle  production  and 
vehicle sales, net revenues also increased 0.8% 

year-on-year to ¥17.34 trillion. Despite the impact 
increased 
of  currency  exchange  fluctuations, 
revenues  and  cost-reduction  efforts  resulted  in 
operating income of ¥86.0 billion, a gain of ¥172.3 
billion compared with the previous fiscal year.

Performance  by  geographic  segments  was 

as follows.

Japan

In  FY2011,  consolidated  vehicle  sales  in  Japan 
to  weak  market  conditions 
decreased  due 
compared with the prior fiscal year, down by 250  
thousand  units,  or  11.5%,  to  1.91  million  units. 
Market  share  for  Toyota  and  Lexus  brands, 
excluding minivehicles, was 47.3%, while the share 
including  minivehicles  was  43.7%,  indicating  a 
strong  market  share  continuing  from  the  previous 

Consolidated  vehicle  sales  in  North  America  in 
FY2011 decreased by 67 thousand units, or 3.2% 
year-on-year, to 2.03 million units, due to the impact 
of a fiercely competitive environment caused by 
the  introduction  of  new  models  by  competitors 
and  other  factors.  Market  share  (2010)  in  the 
United  States  was  15.2%.  Sales  of  the  Lexus 
brand  in  North  America  were  at  approximately 
thousand  units.  Consolidated  vehicle 
235 
production  reached  1.34  million  units,  a  28.4% 
increase year-on-year.

As a result, net revenues were ¥5.43 trillion, a 
decrease of ¥241.4 billion or 4.3% year-on-year. 
Due  to  the  decrease  in  the  provision  for  credit 
losses of sales finance subsidiaries in the United 
States, as well as production increases and cost 
reduction  efforts,  operating  income  quadrupled 
year-on-year, reaching ¥339.5 billion.

Europe

Consolidated vehicle sales in Europe during the 
period  under  review  declined  7.2%,  or  62 
thousand  units  year-on-year,  to  796  thousand 
units,  due  to  a  reduction  of  demand  stimulus 
measures  by  European  governments.  Toyota’s 
European market share (2010; about 40 countries) 
was 4.4%. Lexus sales totaled approximately 36

Consolidated  vehicle  production  declined 

14.1% year-on-year, to 372 thousand units.

As  a  result,  net  revenues  decreased  ¥165.6 
billion,  or  7.7%  year-on-year,  to  ¥1.98  trillion. 
Nonetheless,  operating  income  increased  ¥46.1 
billion year-on-year due to expense reductions.

Asia

Consolidated vehicle sales in Asia in FY2011 rose 
276  thousand  units,  or  28.2%  year-on-year,  to 
1.26 million units, due to an overall recovery of the 
Asian market led by economic growth in Thailand 
and  Indonesia.  Consolidated  vehicle  production 
also rose 31.6% year-on-year, to 1.34 million units. 
As a result, net revenues were ¥3.37 trillion, a 
rise  of  ¥719.2  billion  or  27.1%  year-on-year. 
Operating  income  also  rose  due  to  increased 
product  and  sales  units,  to  ¥313.0  billion,  an 
increase of ¥109.4 billion or 53.8% year-on-year.

Sales in China, which continues to experience 
strong economic growth, reached 846 thousand 
units in 2010, a year-on-year increase of 19.3%.

* Unit sales figures for China include domestically produced 

units as well as units imported from Japan.

Central and South America, Oceania, Africa, 
the Middle East, etc.

Among  these  regions,  sales  in  FY2011  grew  in 
Central and South America, Africa, and the Middle 
East,  with  combined  sales  reaching  1.31  million 
units, an increase of 174 thousand units or 15.3% 
year-on-year.  Consolidated  vehicle  production 
(Central and South America, Oceania, Africa) was 
394 thousand units, an increase of 37 thousand or 
10.4% compared with the previous year. 

As a result, net revenue reached ¥1.81 trillion, a 
year-on-year  increase  of  8.1%  or  ¥135.3  billion, 
while operating income also increased ¥44.6 billion 
or 38.6% year-on-year, reaching ¥160.1 billion.

Support for Recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake 

Promoting restoration and renewal by enlisting the strength of 
on-the-spot human resources
The Toyota Group has established a trilateral structure to 
unite us in our effort to build better cars

The Toyota Group’s production bases were affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, which 
struck on March 11, 2011. Nonetheless, by July we had restored our production levels to more 
or  less  normal  in  terms  of  volume.  We  are  moving  forward  with  efforts  to  reconstruct  our 
production  structure  so  as  to  restore  and  renew  it  to  enable  further  future  growth.  We  will 
maximize the strengths and resources of each company in our Group, and use our combined 
power to enhance the international competitiveness of Japanese manufacturing.

Impact of the Earthquake and Forecast

Efforts toward Further Growth

Reconstructing our production structure
Our philosophy is “to produce where there is demand” globally, so our basic strategy is to strengthen our supply 

capacity  in  emerging  economies  and  resource-rich  countries  while  maximizing  the  potential  of  Japan  and  the 

developed countries.

The manufacturing environment in Japan is challenging, but Toyota’s policy is to maintain production in Japan 
of three million vehicles. We believe that we can accelerate Toyota’s medium- to long-term growth, as well as that of 

Japanese  industry,  and  contribute  to  global  economic  development  by  developing  new  technologies  and 

manufacturing  methods  that  are  “possible  in  Japan,”  and  subsequently  establishing  mass  production  of  these 

technologies at Japanese manufacturing sites and spreading them throughout the world. 

Restructuring the Group to strengthen manufacturing
Toyota  has  established  a  new  plan  for  restructuring  our  domestic  production  structure  so  as  to  strengthen 

manufacturing. Toyota has reached agreement with Toyota Auto Body and Kanto Auto Works to convert those 

Impact of the earthquake and status of recovery
Many of our parts suppliers are located in the affected areas of Tohoku and northern Kanto, so Toyota did suffer 

companies  to  wholly  owned  subsidiaries  of  Toyota  in  January  2012.  In  addition,  Kanto  Auto  Works,  Central 

Motor  Co.  and  Toyota  Motor  Tohoku  Corporation  have  reached  an  agreement  to  begin  discussions  for  the 

some effects in the immediate aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake, such as a temporary production halt 

at  our  domestic  auto  manufacturing  facilities.  Toyota  immediately  initiated  relief  efforts  in  the  aftermath  of  the 

proposed  merger  and  integration  of  the  three  companies  (targeted  July  2012).  The  goal  is  to  enhance 

manufacturing specialization and provide a more accurate response to customer demands, while reducing the 

earthquake, such as dispatching personnel to the affected areas, and we, together with our Group companies

and affiliates, began working to recover from the disaster. In terms of impact on our 2011 Production Plan, we 

experienced  a  loss  of  production  of  approximately  800  thousand  units  through  June,  and  despite  a  forecast 

recovery of approximately 350 thousand units from October onward we expect to come in at roughly 450 thousand 

units under our production goal for FY2012 (as of June 10, 2011).

Until now, each auto manufacturer in the Toyota Group has had a defined role to play from development 
through production in supporting the manufacturing of Toyota vehicles. The new structure will call for each auto 

manufacturer to act on its own initiative in fulfilling a role in its area of expertise. This means each will become 

a company that can execute the Toyota business strategy. We will strengthen ties in the area of supply strategy 

Our plants, dealers and suppliers have been working in unison to restore production to normal levels, and from 

as well, including marketing and product planning strategy and overseas business.

April 18 all of our plants, including the Central Motors Plant in Miyagi Prefecture and the Kanto Motors Plant in Iwate 

Prefecture,  were  again  producing  cars.  By  June,  we  had  returned  to  around  70%  of  our  normal  production  levels 

overall for our domestic and overseas plants, and by July we had recovered to the levels on which our annual plan was 

based. Production of all lines and models are forecast to be at normal production levels for the second half of FY2012.

Creation of new markets through a trilateral domestic production structure
By  restructuring  the  production  structure  in  Tohoku,  Toyota  is  moving  forward  with  plans  to  create  a  Tohoku 

area manufacturing hub, which would be Toyota’s third national manufacturing hub following Chubu and Kyushu. 

The  Tohoku  hub  will  specialize  in  the  development  and  production  of  compact  cars  as  a  comprehensive, 

Production forecast for the second half of FY2012
Toyota began steps to normalize both domestic and overseas production in June. Unit production will recover in 

independent base for production and the procurement of engines and other units, as well as parts. Toyota has 
also decided to produce our new small hybrids, one of the main focuses of our effort to build environmentally 

the second half of the year, with unit production of Toyota and Lexus vehicles for the fiscal year ending March 31, 
2012, expected to be approximately 7.39 million units, an increase of 48 thousand units over the same period in 

the previous year (April 2010–March 2011) (as of June 10, 2011).

Adjustments  were  made  to  North  American  production  after  the  earthquake,  and  we  aimed  to  normalize 
production ahead of schedule, that is, in May, of eight of the 12 vehicles made there. In China, the status of parts 

supply and inventory varies from plant to plant, and we have been working since June with our partners to confirm 

and negotiate parts supply so as to proceed toward the normalization of production. We have set supply targets 

for the 17 plants in Asia and Oceania where production adjustments were made and are working to restore normal 

operations or increase rates of operation to achieve normalization.

friendly vehicles, in Tohoku. Toyota expects Kyushu to become the hub for mid-sized and Lexus brand vehicle 
production and Chubu to become the hub for technological and manufacturing innovation. The role of each 

region has been clarified so as to lead to the building of better cars and to create new markets that will allow 
our suppliers and manufacturers worldwide to work as one and please our customers.

total support for our customers’ lifestyles.

Note: Fiscal years ended March 31

Market Environment and Performance Summary

In fiscal 2011, our financial services operations generated operating income of ¥358.2 billion. This was 
mainly due to an increase in the volume of financings and a broad decrease in expenses related to loan 
losses and residual value losses.
  Our  financial  services  operations  are  primarily  handled  by  Toyota  Financial  Services  Corporation, 
which  has  overall  control  of  our  financial  services  subsidiaries  worldwide.  Toyota  Financial  Services 
provides  financial  services  primarily  for  vehicle  purchases  and  leases  to  approximately  8.5  million 
customers in 33 countries and regions worldwide.
  Operating  activities  during  the  period  under  review  included  enhancing  our  relationships  with 
distributors by providing financial products and services that met various national and regional customer 
characteristics among regional strategies.

In  Japan,  in  addition  to  automotive  financing,  Toyota  Financial  Services  broadens  customer 
relationships  through  the  provision  of  credit  cards,  home  loans  and  other  sound  financial  services 
designed to closely match the needs of our customers.
  Overseas, Toyota Financial Services has engaged in active efforts to develop business in emerging 
markets. During the fiscal year under review, it expanded operations in China to include 157 cities, with 
sales bases in the major coastal cities as well as in the interior.

In such major markets as Europe and the United States, Toyota Financial Services aims to ensure 
stable revenues by continuing to balance vehicle sales support with a variety of business risks, as well 
as by securing margins and achieving thorough low-cost operations.

In  response  to  dramatic  changes  in  the  business  environment,  Toyota  Financial  Services  will  further 
strengthen its group-wide compliance and risk management structures, as well as focus on enhancing 
its  business  foundation  through  IT  platform  development,  management  personnel  training  and  other 
efforts.

Market Environment and Performance Summary

During the fiscal year under review, Toyota Motor Corporation transferred all housing business operations, 
which  constitute  the  core  business  in  this  segment,  to  Toyota  Housing  Corporation  effective  October

as to consolidate development, production and sales under a management structure that is flexible and 
capable of quick decision making. As a result, net revenues for other business operations rose ¥24.6 
billion, or 2.6% year on year, to ¥972.2 billion, whereas operating income improved to ¥35.2 billion, an 
increase of ¥44.1 billion compared with the previous fiscal year.

Biotechnology and Afforestation Business

Toyota is making every effort to contribute to the creation of a resource 
recycling  society  through  our  afforestation  activities,  as  well  as  our 
horticultural,  environmental  greening  and  agricultural  biomass 
operations.

Following  previous  afforestation  and 

forestry  development 
projects in Australia, the Philippines and China, we are engaged in a 
forest  restoration  model  project  in  the  town  of  Odaicho,  located  in 
Japan’s  Mie  Prefecture.  In  May  2010,  this  forest  project  acquired 
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification. In our environmental 
greening  business,  we  began  selling  Toyota/Midorie  Hybrid  Green 
rooftop greenery products, which we jointly developed with Suntory 
Midorie, while in our agricultural biomass operations we launched a 
swine  manure  composting  facility  deodorizer  that  is  the  second 
product in the ResQ Series.

Motorsports

Our main areas of motorsports participation in 2010 were SUPER 
GT and Formula Nippon series racing in Japan and NASCAR in the 
United States, all of which we promote as “spectator motorsports.” 
Also, from last year we sought to strengthen and further promote 
our “grassroots motorsports” programs, so as to create opportunities 
for more people to enjoy the thrill of automobiles easily.
  Our  “grassroots  motorsports”  programs  include  GAZOO 
Racing, which conveys the dreams and excitement of automobile 
racing, as well as other events such as the Waku Doki Circuit, an 

enjoyable  participation-type  event  for  our  customers.  Also,  by 
participating  in  the  24-Hour  Nürburgring  racing  competition  our 
personnel  get  hands-on  training  in  building  good,  fine-tuned 
automobiles.
  We will continue to provide opportunities for our customers to 
enjoy  motorsports  by  making  the  “spectator  motorsports”  and 
“grassroots  motorsports”  categories  the  focus  of  our  motorsports 
projects in 2011.

Realization of a our new vision of the “future mobility society” requires the widespread use of next-
generation environment-friendly cars as well as an infrastructure that can properly manage electricity 
demand. Toyota is strengthening our smart grid effort, and that effort includes moving forward with 
trials and testing in various regions and our active cooperation with other industries.

Efforts to make smart grids a reality

Participation in trials worldwide

Toyota is conducting trials in Japan and a number of countries, such as the United States, China, and France, 
in cooperation with national and local governments, so as popularize smart grids and environment-friendly cars. 

The Toyota smart grid concept

China

America

The Toyota Smart Center optimizes environment-friendly car battery charging 
and home energy management
The daily  power use of environment-friendly cars such as plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHVs) and electric 
vehicles (EVs) is thought to be equal to 30% of the power consumption of the average home. Achievement 
of  a  low-carbon  society  will  require  the  widespread  use  of  environment-friendly  cars,  so  optimal 
management of battery charging and home energy is essential. To meet this aim we have developed our 
Toyota Smart Center, a system that uses smart-grid technology to link homes, vehicles, and users.

The smart grid envisioned by Toyota is centered on the Smart Center, and manages the power supply 
to  “smart  houses”  developed  by  Toyota  Housing  while  monitoring  the  power  use  status  of  each  home 
through a data center. This enables it to reduce the CO2 emissions of the entire region while minimizing 
costs. It does so by monitoring both the remaining battery power data transmitted by the car and the power 
consumption data from the home, and then proceeds to make a comprehensive determination about how 
to optimize power use by also taking into account factors such as weather conditions and power company 
fee schedules. Car batteries can then be charged during times of day when the grid power load is low, and 
the home’s own power supply from solar panels and storage batteries can be used efficiently. The goal is 
to create “smart communities” that optimize the power usage of the entire residential area.

Use of the latest IT technology and the expanding data infrastructure

Toyota actively seeks cooperation with other industries.

In  April  of  this  year,  Toyota  teamed  up  with  Microsoft  to  establish 
Windows Azure cloud service as the IT platform for operating Toyota’s own 
data  center,  with  the  goal  of  reducing  costs  and  achieving  systems 
expandability. The two companies will work together to build a global cloud 
platform by 2015 to develop the Toyota Smart Center worldwide, with the 
goal of early achievement of a low-carbon, energy efficient society.

Also in April, Toyota teamed up with WiTricity to develop wireless, “non-
contact charging” that charges up batteries simply by bringing them into 
proximity with chargers embedded in homes or parking spaces. In May, Toyota 
and Salesforce.com formed a strategic alliance to build “Toyota Friend,” a 
private social network for connecting people, cars, dealers and manufacturers.

TOPICS

Support for Recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake 

Since the Great East Japan Earthquake struck on March 11, Toyota has been engaged in a variety of recovery efforts. 
The Toyota Group, including our affiliates and dealers, will continue to do all we can to assist in the recovery. 

Provision of funds

Provision of dorm rooms and Toyota company housing

Toyota  has  pledged  ¥300  million  to  charities,  including  the  Central  Community 
Chest of Japan and Japan Platform. In addition, a donation from our executives and 
employees of approximately ¥55 million was made to the Japanese Red Cross.

Through  Aichi  Prefecture  authorities,  Toyota  is  providing  160  apartments  in 
Toyota company housing and 320 dorm rooms in Aichi Prefecture to evacuees 
needing shelter.

Children are the “strength for the future” that will drive the recovery of the 
Tohoku  region,  so  Toyota  will  donate  ¥100  million  each  to  the  educational-
assistance funds for children orphaned by the disaster established by the Iwate 
and Miyagi prefectural governments, as well to that planned for establishment 
by  Fukushima  Prefecture  (for  a  total  of  ¥300  million).  In  addition,  Toyota  will 
donate to funds that develop activities for support to the stricken areas through 
the arts and culture, and we will also sponsor events such as charity concerts 
in support of recovery efforts.

Provision of supplies

So far, Toyota has sent 87 11-ton trucks to the region containing such items as 
foodstuffs, drinking water, daily necessities, medical supplies and equipment 
for  recovery  work.  (Some  of  these  trucks  contained  items  for  the  recovery 
efforts  collected  from  Toyota  dealers  across  the  country.)  Also,  in  addition 
to  supplying  fuel  such  as  kerosene,  seven  tanker  trucks  have  been  sent  to 
provide water to the stricken areas.

Provision of vehicles

Toyota  is  providing  approximately  260  vehicles  for  use  in  the  four  stricken 
prefectures of Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima and Ibaraki.

Provision of support for agriculture

In close cooperation with Nippon Keidanren’s relief efforts, Toyota is engaged 
in the following activities to help support those involved in agriculture and food 
production in the Tohoku and Kanto regions directly affected by the disaster or 
by rumors concerning fallout from the Fukushima nuclear reactor.

At Toyota’s headquarters, Nagoya and Tokyo offices: Serving meals in the 
employee  dining  halls  made  with  produce  from  Tohoku  and  Kanto,  and 
selling produce and goods from the regions at shops for employees.
At  Toyota’s  Tokyo  office  lobby:  Hosting  markets  selling  produce  and 
processed items from Tohoku and Kanto.
At  Toyota’s  headquarters,  Nagoya  and  Tokyo  offices:  Selling  processed 
food items from Tohoku and Kanto in our company stores.

Provision of personnel

Toyota dispatched about 60 employees to the affected areas in the immediate 
aftermath  of  the  earthquake,  where  they  mainly  focused  on  distributing 
emergency provisions and also worked to support the recovery of companies 
affiliated with the Toyota Group. We have continued to send volunteers from 
15  Toyota  Group  and  affiliated  companies,  and  currently  have  about  140 
employees engaged in relief efforts.

Intellectual Property Activities

Toyota’s  competitiveness  springs  from  the  forward-looking  R&D  stance  that  is  instrumental  to  core 
strengths associated with products and technologies. Underlying each new product that emerges from 
R&D, there are always intellectual properties such as inventions and expertise that we value as important 
management resources.

Intellectual Property Systems

R&D  and  intellectual  property  activities  are  organizationally  linked  to  enable  us  to  focus  on  selected 
development themes and build a strong patent portfolio. We have established an Intellectual Property 
Committee  made  up  of  individuals  involved  with  management,  R&D,  and  intellectual  property.  This 
committee acquires and utilizes important intellectual property that contributes to business operations 
and helps determine policies for management risks associated with intellectual property.

Intellectual Property Strategies

Toyota carefully analyzes patents and the need for patents in each area of research to formulate more 
effective  R&D  strategies.  We  identify  R&D  projects  in  which  Toyota  should  acquire  patents,  and  file 
relevant applications as necessary to help build a strong global patent portfolio. In addition, we want to 
contribute to sustainable mobility by promoting the spread of technologies with environmental and safety 
benefits. This is why we take an open stance to patent licensing, and grant licenses when appropriate 
terms are met. A good example of this policy is the licensing to other companies of patents in the area of 
hybrid technology, which is one of our core technologies involving environmental energy.

Changes to Management Structures

1. Streamlining of the Board of Directors
  Effective  following  the  formal  decision  made  at  the  Board  of  Directors  meeting  held  after  the  107th 
General Shareholders Meeting (June 17, 2011), the number of directors was reduced from 27 to 11. The 
Board of Directors is henceforth to comprise the chairman, the president, five executive vice presidents 
and the four officers responsible for the Corporate Planning, the Accounting Group and the External 
Affairs Group.

4. Building a structure that ensures that outside opinions are listened to in earnest and 

reflected in management practices

  For  the  management  of  regional  entities,  Toyota  has  established  regional  advisory  committees 
composed of well-informed persons in North America, Europe and Asia. This is meant to ensure that 
outside opinions are reflected in management practices for decision making that is in touch with work 
sites and effective management decisions based on regional understanding.

2. Scaling down of the executive decision-making system
  Although previously the executive system was made up of three tiers—executive vice presidents, chief 
officers and officers responsible for group affairs—it has been streamlined to two, with the officers 
responsible for group affairs removed. The senior managing director position has been eliminated and 
the total number of executives broadly reduced, from 77 to 60. Also, chief officers will be appointed in 
a flexible manner from the ranks of senior managing officers (a newly established rank) or managing 
officers.

3. Changes to structures to allow local decision making by overseas affiliates
  Regional chief officers, in principle, will be stationed in their respective regions, and the number of 

executives stationed outside Japan will be increased from 13 to 15.

Their divisions’ functions, which are presently performed in Japan, will be transferred overseas 

in stages.

5. Promoting management in close contact with work sites
  “Executive general manager” has been created as a non-executive position to promote management 
that  is  in  close  contact  with  work  sites.  Executive  general  managers  are  to  be  employees  such  as 
grand  chief  engineers  responsible  for  vehicle  development,  general  managers  responsible  for 
technology and plant general managers.

Toyota’s Basic Policy on Corporate Governance

Toyota has positioned the stable long-term growth of corporate value as a top-priority management issue. 
We believe that in carrying this out, it is essential that we achieve long-term and stable growth by building 
positive  relationships  with  all  stakeholders,  including  shareholders  and  customers  as  well  as  business 
partners, local communities and employees, and by supplying products that will satisfy our customers. This 
position  is  reflected  in  the  “Guiding  Principles  at  Toyota,”  which  is  a  statement  of  Toyota’s  fundamental 
business  policies.  Also,  Toyota  adopted  and  presented  the  CSR  Policy  “Contribution  toward  Sustainable 
Development,” an interpretation of the “Guiding Principles at Toyota” that organizes the relationships with its 
stakeholders. We are working to enhance corporate governance through a variety of measures designed to 
further increase our competitiveness as a global company.

Toyota’s Corporate Governance System

Toyota formulated and announced the Toyota Global Vision in March 2011, based on what it has learned from 
the deterioration of the business environment following the Lehman Shock and a series of quality problems.

The Toyota Global Vision, based on Toyota’s values that have guided Toyota since its founding, such as 
“Guiding Principles of Toyota” and “Toyota Way,” aims to exceed customer expectations by the development 
of ever-better cars and enriching lives of societies, and to be rewarded with a smile which ultimately leads 
to the stable base of business. Toyota is to keep this virtuous cycle by focusing on making ever-better cars.
To  fulfill  the  Toyota  Global  Vision,  Toyota  made  some  changes  to  its  management  structure  such  as 
reducing  the  Board  of  Directors  and  decision  making  layers.  Toyota  will  continue  to  offer  products  and 
services that will satisfy evolving needs in every region. Toyota headquarters will provide overall direction 
and furnish support for the initiatives undertaken by the regional operations.

Specifically, with the aim of faster decision making, Toyota drastically reduced the number of Directors 
and abolished the position of Senior Managing Director. Furthermore, Toyota will replace the current three-
layer arrangement – Executive Vice President, Chief Officer, and Executive responsible for the operations 
involved – with two layers, eliminating the executive immediately below the Chief Officer. Moving forward 
with this new structure will support a swifter flow of information from the divisional general managers, who 
are intimately familiar with their operations, to senior management.

Toyota is to enhance clarity in organizational responsibilities: the Board of Directors decides what Toyota 
will do as global Toyota, and Chief Officers decide how to implement that decision as chief executives for 
day-to-day operations, etc. The post of Chief Officer will be filled either by a “Senior Managing Officer” or 
“Managing Officer” in a flexible manner. Chief Officers responsible for the region or function conduct local 
operations basically at respective sites under the Executive Vice President responsible for each operational 
sector to vigorously reflect the voices of local customers in functions of R&D, production, and sales.

Systems for Ensuring Appropriate Management

Toyota  has  an  “International  Advisory  Board”  consisting  of  advisers  from  each  region  overseas,  and,  as 
appropriate, receives advice on a wide range of management issues from a global perspective. In addition, 
Toyota has a wide variety of conferences and committees for deliberations and the monitoring of management 

and  corporate  activities  that  reflect  the  views  of  various  stakeholders,  including  the  “Labor-Management 
Council,” the “Joint Labor-Management Round Table Conference” and the “Toyota Environment Committee.”

Accountability

Toyota has engaged in timely and fair disclosure of corporate and financial information as stated in the CSR 
Policy  “Contribution  towards  Sustainable  Development.”  In  order  to  ensure  the  accurate,  fair,  and  timely 
disclosure  of  information,  Toyota  has  established  the  Disclosure  Committee  chaired  by  an  officer  of  the 
Accounting Division. The Committee holds regular meetings for the purpose of preparation, reporting and 
assessment of its annual securities report, quarterly report under the Financial Instruments and Exchange 
Law of Japan and Form 20-F under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act, and also holds extraordinary committee 
meetings from time to time whenever necessary.

Compliance

In  order  to  manage  and  implement  important  activities  for  fulfilling  social  responsibilities,  Toyota  has 
established the CSR Committee consisting of directors at the executive vice president level and above as 
well as representatives of corporate auditors, to review important issues relating to corporate ethics, legal 
compliance, risk management and social contribution, and also to develop action plans concerning these 
issues. Toyota has also created a number of facilities for employees to make inquiries concerning compliance 
matters,  including  the  Compliance  Hotline,  which  enables  them  to  consult  with  an  outside  attorney,  and 
takes measures to ensure that Toyota is aware of significant information concerning legal compliance as 
quickly as possible. Toyota will continue to promote the “Toyota Code of Conduct” which is a guideline for 
employees’  behavior  and  conduct  for  employees  of  Toyota  and  its  consolidated  subsidiaries  (together 
“Toyota”) all around the world. Toyota will work to advance corporate ethics through training and education 
at all levels and in all departments.

Toyota  has  adopted  an  auditor  system.  Seven  Corporate  Auditors  including  four  Outside  Corporate 
Auditors play a role in Toyota’s corporate governance efforts by undertaking audits in accordance with the 
audit policies and plans determined by the Board of Corporate Auditors. In addition, Toyota has secured the 
personnel  and  framework  supporting  the  audit  by  Corporate  Auditors.  The  Outside  Corporate  Auditors 
advise  Toyota  from  a  fair  and  neutral  perspective,  based  on  their  broad  experiences  and  insight  in  their 
respective fields of expertise. The state of internal controls and internal audits are reported to Corporate 
Auditors  (including  Outside  Corporate  Auditors)  through  the  Board  of  Corporate  Auditors  and  the  “CSR 
Committee,”  and  the  status  of  accounting  audits  is  reported  by  independent  External  Auditors  to  the 
Corporate  Auditors  (including  Outside  Corporate  Auditors)  through  the  Board  of  Corporate  Auditors.  To 
enhance the system for internal audits, a specialized organization made independent of direct control by the 
management  evaluates  the  effectiveness  of  the  system  to  secure  the  appropriateness  of  documents 
regarding financial calculation and other information in accordance with Section 404 of the U.S. Sarbanes- 
Oxley  Act  and  Article  24-4-4  (1)  of  the  Financial  Instruments  and  Exchange  Law  of  Japan.  In  order  to 
enhance the reliability of the financial reporting of Toyota, the three auditing functions — audit by Corporate 
Auditors,  internal  audit,  and  accounting  audit  by  Independent  External  Auditors  —  aid  in  conducting  an

Basic Approach to Internal Control System and Its Development

Toyota, together with its subsidiaries, has created and maintained a sound corporate climate based on the 
“Guiding Principles at Toyota” and the “Toyota Code of Conduct.” Toyota integrates the principles of problem 
identification and continuous improvement into its business operation process and makes continuous efforts 
to train employees who will put these principles into practice.

Accordingly, Toyota has developed its basic policy regarding the following items as stipulated in the 

Corporation Act:

(1) System to ensure that the Directors execute their responsibilities in compliance with 

relevant laws and regulations and the Articles of Incorporation

1) Toyota will ensure that Directors act in compliance with relevant laws and regulations and the Articles 
of Incorporation, based on the Code of Ethics and other explanatory documents that include necessary 
legal information, presented on occasions such as trainings for new Directors.

2) Toyota  will  make  decisions  regarding  business  operations  after  comprehensive  discussions  at  the 
Board of Directors’ meeting and other meetings of various cross-sectional decision-making bodies. 
Matters  to  be  decided  are  properly  submitted  and  discussed  at  the  meetings  of  those  decision-
making bodies in accordance with the relevant rules.

3) Toyota will appropriately discuss significant matters and measures relating to issues such as corporate 
ethics, compliance, and risk management at the CSR Committee and other meetings. Toyota will also 
discuss and decide, at the meetings of various cross-sectional decision-making bodies, policies and 
systems to monitor and respond to risks relating to organizational function.

(2) System to retain and manage information relating to performance of duties by Directors

Information relating to exercising duties by Directors shall be appropriately retained and managed by 
each division in charge pursuant to the relevant internal rules and laws and regulations.

(3) Rules and systems related to the management of risk of loss

1) Toyota will properly manage the capital fund through its budgeting system and other forms of control, 
conduct business operations, and manage the budget, based on the authorities and responsibilities 
in accordance with the “Ringi” system (effective consensus-building and approval system) and other 
systems.  Significant  matters  will  be  properly  submitted  and  discussed  at  the  Board  of  Directors’ 
meeting  and  other  meetings  of  various  bodies  in  accordance  with  the  standards  stipulated  in  the 
relevant rules.

2) Toyota will ensure accurate financial reporting by issuing documentation on the financial flow and the 
control  system,  etc.,  and  by  properly  and  promptly  disclosing  information  through  the  Disclosure 
Committee.

3) Toyota will manage various risks relating to safety, quality, the environment, etc. and compliance by 
establishing  coordinated  systems  with  all  regions,  establishing  rules  or  preparing  and  delivering 
manuals and by other means, as necessary through each relevant division.

4)  As  a  precaution  against  events  such  as  natural  disasters,  Toyota  will  prepare  manuals,  conduct 

emergency drills, arrange risk diversification and insurance, etc., as needed.

(4) System to ensure that Directors exercise their duties efficiently

1) Toyota will manage consistent policies by specifying the policies at each level of the organization based 
on the medium- to long-term management policies and the Company’s policies for each fiscal term.
2) The  Directors  will  promptly  determine  the  management  policies  based  on  precise  on-the-spot 
information  and,  in  accordance  with  Toyota’s  advantageous  “field-oriented”  approach,  delegate  a 
high level of authority to Chief Officers (Senior Managing Officers and Managing Officers) who take 
responsibility for business operations in each region and function. The Chief Officers will proactively 
compose business plans for the regions and functions under their leadership and execute them in a 
swift and timely manner in order to carry out Toyota’s management policies. The Directors will supervise 
the execution of duties by the Chief Officers.

3)  Toyota,  from  time  to  time,  will  make  opportunities  to  listen  to  the  opinions  of  various  stakeholders, 
including  external  experts  in  each  region,  and  reflect  those  opinions  in  Toyota’s  management  and 
corporate activities.

(5) System to ensure that employees conduct business in compliance with relevant laws and

regulations and the Articles of Incorporation

1) Toyota will clarify the responsibilities of each organization unit and maintain a basis to ensure continuous 

improvements in the system.

TOYOTA ANNUAL REPORT 2011

33

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Corporate Governance

2) Toyota  will  continuously  review  the  legal  compliance  and  risk  management  framework  to  ensure 
effectiveness. For this purpose, each organization unit shall confirm the effectiveness by conducting 
self-checks among others, and report the result to the CSR Committee and other committees.

3) Toyota will promptly obtain information regarding legal compliance and corporate ethics and respond 
to problems and questions related to compliance through its corporate ethics inquiry office and other 
channels.

(6) System to ensure the appropriateness of business operations of the corporation and 

the business group consisting of the parent company and subsidiaries

1)  Toyota  will  expand  the  “Guiding  Principles  at  Toyota”  and  the  “Toyota  Code  of  Conduct”  to  its 
subsidiaries as Toyota’s common charter of conduct, and develop and maintain a sound environment 
of  internal  controls  for  Toyota.  Toyota  will  also  promote  the  “Guiding  Principles  at  Toyota”  and  the 
“Toyota Code of Conduct” through personnel exchanges.

2)  Toyota  will  manage  its  subsidiaries  in  a  comprehensive  manner  appropriate  to  their  positioning  by 
clarifying the roles of the division responsible for the subsidiaries’ financing and management and the 
roles of the division responsible for the subsidiaries’ business activities. Those divisions will confirm 
the appropriateness and legality of the operations of the subsidiaries by exchanging information with 
those subsidiaries, periodically and as needed.

(7) System concerning employees who assist the Corporate Auditors when required

Toyota will establish a Corporate Auditors Department and assign a number of full-time staff to support 
this function.

(8) Independence of the employees described in the preceding item (7) from Directors
  Any changes in personnel in the Corporate Auditors Department will require prior consent of the Board 

of Corporate Auditors or a full-time Corporate Auditor selected by the Board of Corporate Auditors.

(9) System for Directors and employees to report to Corporate Auditors, and other related systems

1) Directors, from time to time, will properly report to the Corporate Auditors any major business operations 
through  the  divisions  in  charge.  If  any  fact  that  may  cause  significant  damage  to  the  Company  is 
discovered, they will report the matter to the Corporate Auditors immediately.

2)  Directors,  Senior  Managing  Officers,  Managing  Officers,  and  employees  will  report  to  Corporate 

Auditors on the business upon requests by the Corporate Auditors, periodically and as needed.

(10) Other systems to ensure that the Corporate Auditors conducted audits effectively

Toyota will ensure that the Corporate Auditors attend major Board of Directors’ meetings, inspect important 
Company documents, and make opportunities to exchange information between the Corporate Auditors 
and Accounting Auditor periodically and as needed, as well as appoint external experts.

Basic Policy and Preparation towards the Elimination of Antisocial Forces

(1) Establishment of divisions overseeing measures against antisocial forces and posts in charge of 

preventing undue claims 
Toyota  established  divisions  that  oversee  measures  against  antisocial  forces  (“Divisions  Overseeing 
Measures  Against  Antisocial  Forces”)  in  its  major  offices  as  well  as  assigned  persons  in  charge  of 
preventing undue claims. Toyota also established a system whereby undue claims, organized violence 
and criminal activities conducted by antisocial forces are immediately reported to and consulted with 
Divisions Overseeing Measures Against Antisocial Forces.

(2) Liaising with specialist organizations

Toyota  has  been  strengthening  its  liaison  with  specialist  organizations  by  joining  liaison  committees 
organized  by  specialists  such  as  the  police.  It  has  also  been  receiving  guidance  on  measures  to  be 
taken against antisocial forces from such committees.

(3) Collecting and managing information concerning antisocial forces 
  By liaising with experts and the police, Divisions Overseeing Measures Against Antisocial Forces share 
up-to-date  information  on  antisocial  forces  and  utilize  such  information  to  call  Toyota’s  employees’ 
attention to antisocial forces.

(4) Preparation of manuals

Toyota  compiles  cases  concerning  measures  against  antisocial  forces  and  distributes  them  to  each 
department within Toyota.

(5) Training activities

Toyota promotes training activities to prevent damages caused by antisocial forces by sharing information 
on antisocial forces within the company as well as holding lectures at Toyota and its group companies.

Risk Factors

Operational and other risks faced by Toyota that could significantly influence the decisions of 
investors are set out below. However, the following does not encompass all risks related to the 
operations of Toyota. There are risk factors other than those given below. Any such risk factors 
could influence the decisions of investors. The forward-looking statements included below are 
based on information available as of June 24, 2011, the filing date of Form 20-F.

Risks relating to the Great East Japan Earthquake 

Toyota may be adversely affected by the continuing effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake and 
ensuing events. 

The  Japanese  economy  as  a  whole  suffered  significant  damage  as  a  result  of  the  Great  East  Japan 
Earthquake  that  occurred  on  March  11,  2011  and  the  ensuing  tsunami  and  accidents  at  nuclear  power 
plants in Fukushima Prefecture (collectively, the “Great East Japan Earthquake”).  

After the earthquake’s occurrence on March 11, 2011, Toyota temporarily suspended operations at all of 
its domestic factories due to damage to social infrastructure including energy supply, transportation systems, 
gas, water and communication systems caused by the earthquake, shortages of parts from suppliers, and 
damage sustained by some subsidiaries of Toyota in regions adjacent to the disaster zone. On March 18, 
2011, Toyota began resuming production in stages. As of April 18, 2011, Toyota had resumed operations at 
all domestic factories. As of the date of this annual report, production levels at both domestic and overseas 
factories vary by region and vehicle type and, primarily due to shortages of supplies from external suppliers, 
production  is  not  yet  normalized  at  some  factories.  Toyota  anticipates  that  its  factories  will  reach  normal 
operational capacity between November and December 2011, but there is no assurance that production will 
normalize by that time. Also, in May 2011, operations at the nuclear power plant in Shizuoka Prefecture that 
supplied  a  portion  of  the  electricity  to  the  area  where  Toyota’s  global  headquarters  and  main  plants  are 
located were suspended in light of the damage sustained by the Fukushima nuclear power plant. There is 
concern  regarding  potential  shortages  of  electricity  during  the  demanding  summer  months,  and  such  a 
shortage  could  negatively  impact  Toyota’s  production.  The  Great  East  Japan  Earthquake  has  negatively 
impacted Toyota’s operations and the duration and magnitude of the impact ensuing from it remain unclear. 
Depending on developments, the impact on Toyota’s results of operations and financial condition may be 
significant. 

The Japanese economy has been negatively impacted by damage caused by the Great East Japan 
Earthquake, costs associated to rebuild the affected areas and interrupted infrastructure, including energy 
shortages. The duration and magnitude of the total impact on the Japanese economy are unclear. In addition, 
the nuclear power plants in Fukushima Prefecture are not yet fully under control and the resolution of the 
situation  at  these  plants,  including  timing,  remains  unclear.  Continuing  radiation  leakage  and  further 
aggravation of the nuclear power plants are possible. These various issues in connection with the Great East 
Japan Earthquake may cause significant and unforeseeable adverse effects on the Japanese economy, 
Toyota’s operations, and demand for Toyota’s products.

Industry and Business Risks 

The worldwide automotive market is highly competitive. 
The worldwide automotive market is highly competitive. Toyota faces intense competition from automotive 
manufacturers in the markets in which it operates. Although the global economy is gradually recovering, 
competition in the automotive industry has further intensified amidst difficult overall market conditions. In 
addition, competition is likely to further intensify in light of further continuing globalization in the worldwide 
automotive  industry,  possibly  resulting  in  further  industry  reorganization.  Factors  affecting  competition 
include  product  quality  and  features,  safety,  reliability,  fuel  economy,  the  amount  of  time  required  for 
innovation  and  development,  pricing,  customer  service  and  financing  terms.  Increased  competition  may 
lead to lower vehicle unit sales, which may result in a further downward price pressure and adversely affect 
Toyota’s financial condition and results of operations. Toyota’s ability to adequately respond to the recent 
rapid changes in the automotive market and to maintain its competitiveness will be fundamental to its future 
success in existing and new markets and to maintain its market share. There can be no assurances that 
Toyota will be able to compete successfully in the future.

The worldwide automotive industry is highly volatile. 
Each  of  the  markets  in  which  Toyota  competes  has  been  subject  to  considerable  volatility  in  demand. 
Demand  for  vehicles  depends  to  a  large  extent  on  social,  political  and  economic  conditions  in  a  given 
market and the introduction of new vehicles and technologies. As Toyota’s revenues are derived from sales 
in  markets  worldwide,  economic  conditions  in  such  markets  are  particularly  important  to  Toyota.  During 
fiscal 2010, although government efforts to stimulate demand in Japan, North America and Europe, which 
are Toyota’s main markets, resulted in a trend towards economic recovery, market conditions in those areas 
remained difficult, and Toyota was adversely affected by changes in the market structure with further shifts 
in consumer demand to compact and low-priced vehicles. Such weakness in demand for automobiles and 
changes  in  market  structure  is  continuing,  and  it  is  unclear  how  this  situation  will  transition  in  the  future. 
Toyota’s financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected if the weakness in demand 
for automobiles and changes in market structure continue or progress further. Demand may also be affected 
by factors directly impacting vehicle price or the cost of purchasing and operating vehicles such as sales 
and financing incentives, prices of raw materials and parts and components, cost of fuel and governmental 
regulations  (including  tariffs,  import  regulation  and  other  taxes).  Volatility  in  demand  may  lead  to  lower 
vehicle  unit  sales,  which  may  result  in  a  further  downward  price  pressure  and  adversely  affect  Toyota’s 
financial condition and results of operations. 

Toyota’s future success depends on its ability to offer new innovative competitively priced products 
that meet customer demand on a timely basis. 

Meeting customer demand by introducing attractive new vehicles and reducing the amount of time required 
for product development are critical to automotive manufacturers. In particular, it is critical to meet customer 
demand  with  respect  to  quality,  safety  and  reliability.  The  timely  introduction  of  new  vehicle  models,  at 
competitive prices, meeting rapidly changing customer preferences and demand is more fundamental to 
Toyota’s success than ever, as the automotive market is rapidly transforming in light of the changing global 
economy. There is no assurance, however, that Toyota will adequately and appropriately respond to changing 
customer preferences and demand with respect to quality, safety, reliability, styling and other features in a 
timely  manner.  Even  if  Toyota  succeeds  in  perceiving  customer  preferences  and  demand,  there  is  no 

TOYOTA ANNUAL REPORT 2011

Risk Factors

assurance that Toyota will be capable of developing and manufacturing new, price competitive products in 
a timely manner with its available technology, intellectual property, sources of raw materials and parts and 
components, and production capacity, including cost reduction capacity. Further, there is no assurance that 
Toyota  will  be  able  to  implement  capital  expenditures  at  the  level  and  times  planned  by  management. 
Toyota’s inability to develop and offer products that meet customers’ preferences and demand with respect 
to quality, safety, reliability, styling and other features in a timely manner could result in a lower market share 
and reduced sales volumes and margins, and may adversely affect Toyota’s financial condition and results 
of operations. 

Toyota’s ability to market and distribute effectively is an integral part of Toyota’s successful sales. 
Toyota’s success in the sale of vehicles depends on its ability to market and distribute effectively based on 
distribution networks and sales techniques tailored to the needs of its customers. There is no assurance that 
Toyota will be able to develop sales techniques and distribution networks that effectively adapt to changing 
customer preferences or changes in the regulatory environment in the major markets in which it operates. 
Toyota’s  inability  to  maintain  well-developed  sales  techniques  and  distribution  networks  may  result  in 
decreased sales and market share and may adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.

Toyota’s success is significantly impacted by its ability to maintain and develop its brand image. 
In the highly competitive automotive industry, it is critical to maintain and develop a brand image. In order to 
maintain and develop a brand image, it is necessary to further increase customers’ confidence by providing 
safe, high-quality products that meet customer preferences and demand. If Toyota is unable to effectively 
maintain and develop its brand image as a result of its inability to provide safe, high-quality products or as 
result of the failure to promptly implement safety measures such as recalls when necessary, vehicle unit 
sales and/or sale prices may decrease, and as a result revenues and profits may not increase as expected 
or may decrease, adversely affecting its financial condition and results of operations. 

Toyota relies on suppliers for the provision of certain supplies including parts, 
components and raw materials. 

Toyota  purchases  supplies  including  parts,  components  and  raw  materials  from  a  number  of  external 
suppliers located around the world. For some supplies, Toyota relies on a single supplier or a limited number 
of suppliers, whose replacement with another supplier may be difficult. Inability to obtain supplies from a 
single or limited source supplier may result in difficulty obtaining supplies and may restrict Toyota’s ability to 
produce vehicles. Furthermore, even if Toyota were to rely on a large number of suppliers, first-tier suppliers 
with whom Toyota directly transacts may in turn rely on a single second-tier supplier or limited second-tier 
suppliers.  Toyota’s  ability  to  continue  to  obtain  supplies  from  its  suppliers  in  a  timely  and  cost-effective 
manner  is  subject  to  a  number  of  factors,  some  of  which  are  not  within  Toyota’s  control.  These  factors 
include  the  ability  of  Toyota’s  suppliers  to  provide  a  continued  source  of  supply,  and  Toyota’s  ability  to 
effectively  compete  and  obtain  competitive  prices  from  suppliers.  A  loss  of  any  single  or  limited  source 
supplier or inability to obtain supplies from suppliers in a timely and cost-effective manner could lead to 
increased costs or delays or suspensions in Toyota’s production and deliveries, which could have an adverse 
effect on Toyota’s financial conditions and results of operations.

The worldwide financial services industry is highly competitive. 
The  worldwide  financial  services  industry  is  highly  competitive.  Increased  competition  in  automobile 
financing may lead to decreased margins. A decline in Toyota’s vehicle unit sales, an increase in residual 
value risk due to lower used vehicle price, an increase in the ratio of credit losses and increased funding 
costs are factors which may impact Toyota’s financial services operations. If Toyota is unable to adequately 
respond to the changes and competition in automobile financing, Toyota’s financial services operations may 
adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations. 

Financial Market and Economic Risks 

Toyota’s operations are subject to currency and interest rate fluctuations. 
Toyota is sensitive to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and is principally exposed to fluctuations 
in the value of the Japanese yen, the U.S. dollar and the euro and, to a lesser extent, the Australian dollar, 
the Canadian dollar and the British pound. Toyota’s consolidated financial statements, which are presented 
in Japanese yen, are affected by foreign currency exchange fluctuations through both translation risk and 
transaction risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may affect Toyota’s pricing of products sold 
and materials purchased in foreign currencies. In particular, strengthening of the Japanese yen against the 
U.S. dollar can have an adverse effect on Toyota’s operating results. The Japanese yen has been appreciating 
against major currencies including the U.S. dollar in the past year. If the Japanese yen continues to appreciate 
against major currencies, including the U.S. dollar, Toyota’s financial condition and results of operations may 
be adversely affected. 

Toyota believes that its use of certain derivative financial instruments including interest rate swaps and 
increased localized production of its products have reduced, but not eliminated, the effects of interest rate 
and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Nonetheless, a negative impact resulting from fluctuations 
in  foreign  currency  exchange  rates  and  changes  in  interest  rates  may  adversely  affect  Toyota’s  financial 
condition and results of operations.  

High prices of raw materials and strong pressure on Toyota’s suppliers could negatively impact 
Toyota’s profitability. 

Increases in prices for raw materials that Toyota and Toyota’s suppliers use in manufacturing their products 
or parts and components such as steel, precious metals, non-ferrous alloys including aluminum, and plastic 
parts, may lead to higher production costs for parts and components. This could, in turn, negatively impact 
Toyota’s future profitability because Toyota may not be able to pass all those costs on to its customers or 
require its suppliers to absorb such costs.  

The downturn in the financial markets could adversely affect Toyota’s ability to raise capital. 
Should the world economy suddenly deteriorate, a number of financial institutions and investors will face 
difficulties in providing capital to the financial markets at levels corresponding to their own financial capacity, 
and, as a result, there is a risk that companies may not be able to raise capital under terms that they would 
expect  to  receive  with  their  creditworthiness.  If  Toyota  is  unable  to  raise  the  necessary  capital  under 
appropriate  conditions  on  a  timely  basis,  Toyota’s  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations  may  be 
adversely affected.

Risk Factors

Political, Regulatory, Legal and Other Risks 

The automotive industry is subject to various governmental regulations.
The worldwide automotive industry is subject to various laws and governmental regulations including those 
related  to  vehicle  safety  and  environmental  matters  such  as  emission  levels,  fuel  economy,  noise  and 
pollution. In particular, automotive manufacturers such as Toyota are required to implement safety measures 
such as recalls for vehicles that do not or may not comply with the safety standards of laws and governmental 
regulations. In addition, Toyota may, in order to reassure its customers of the safety of Toyota’s vehicles, 
decide to voluntarily implement recalls or other safety measures even if the vehicle complies with the safety 
standards of relevant laws and governmental regulations. Many governments also impose tariffs and other 
trade barriers, taxes and levies, or enact price or exchange controls. Toyota has incurred, and expects to 
incur in the future, significant costs in complying with these regulations. If Toyota launches products that 
result in safety measures such as recalls, Toyota may incur various costs including significant costs for free 
repairs. Furthermore, new legislation or changes in existing legislation may also subject Toyota to additional 
expenses in the future. If Toyota incurs significant costs related to implementing safety measures or meeting 
laws and governmental regulations, Toyota’s financial condition and results of operations may be adversely 
affected. 

Toyota may become subject to various legal proceedings. 
As  an  automotive  manufacturer,  Toyota  may  become  subject  to  legal  proceedings  in  respect  of  various 
issues, including product liability and infringement of intellectual property. Toyota may also be subject to 
legal proceedings brought by its shareholders and governmental proceedings and investigations. Toyota is 
in fact currently subject to a number of pending legal proceedings and government investigations. A negative 
outcome  in  one  or  more  of  these  pending  legal  proceedings  could  adversely  affect  Toyota’s  financial 
condition and results of operations.  

Toyota may be adversely affected by natural calamities, political and economic instability, 
fuel shortages or interruptions in social infrastructure, wars, terrorism and labor strikes. 

Toyota is subject to various risks associated with conducting business worldwide. These risks include natural 
calamities;  political  and  economic  instability;  fuel  shortages;  interruption  in  social  infrastructure  including 
energy supply, transportation systems, gas, water, or communication systems resulting from natural hazards 
or technological hazards; wars; terrorism; labor strikes and work stoppages. Should the major markets in 
which  Toyota  purchases  materials,  parts  and  components  and  supplies  for  the  manufacture  of  Toyota 
products or in which Toyota’s products are produced, distributed or sold be affected by any of these events, 
it may result in disruptions and delays in the operations of Toyota’s business. Should significant or prolonged 
disruptions or delays related to Toyota’s business operations occur, it may adversely affect Toyota’s financial 
condition and results of operations.

Fiscal 2011 Business Results

On  a  consolidated  basis  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2011, 
year-on-year vehicle sales improved 71 thousand units to 7,308 thousand 
units, and net revenues increased 0.2% to ¥18,993.6 billion. Operating 
income  rose  ¥320.7  billion  to  ¥468.2  billion,  whereas  net  income 
advanced ¥198.7 billion to ¥408.1 billion. As a result, Toyota succeeded 
in increasing both revenue and income.

Factors  contributing  to  the  increase  in  operating  income  included 
¥490.0  billion  from  marketing  efforts  (including  ¥130.0  billion  from  our 
financial  services  operations)  and  ¥180.0  billion  from  our  continuous 
cost-reduction  efforts,  including  companywide  VA  (Value  Analysis) 
activities.  Major  factors  reducing  income  were  exchange  rate  fluctua-
tions, amounting to ¥290.0 billion, increases in expenses, etc., of ¥30.0 
billion, and other factors reducing income that amounted to ¥29.3 billion. 
In Japan, subsidies for eco-car purchases ended, which had a negative 
effect  on  income,  and  vehicle  sales  were  drastically  down  due  to  the 
earthquake  of  March  11.  Nonetheless,  sales  of  IMVs  were  strong, 
especially in Asian countries such as Thailand and Indonesia, reaching 
their highest levels ever for the full year and contributing to an increase 
in income. The negative impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake on 
income amounted to ¥110.0 billion: ¥100.0 billion was due to operating 
factors such as reduced vehicle sales as a result of reduced production 
and the recording of allowances for our financial services business; other 
factors contributing to a ¥10.0 billion reduction in income were decreased 
cost reduction associated with lower unit sales and an increase in costs. 
Taking the above into consideration, we view the increase in income for 
the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2011,  as  offsetting  two  major  impacts 
that reduced income, namely, the rapid and steep increase in the value 
of the yen and the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Although I have noted previously that in the fiscal year ended March 
31,  2010,  we  succeeded  in  broadly  lowering  our  break-even  point,  we 
continued to make structural improvements during the fiscal year ended 
March 31, 2011, so if we leave out temporary factors such as the impact 
of the earthquake, I believe we have succeeded in creating “a structure 
that  generates  profits  even  with  the  exchange  rate  at  ¥85  to  the  U.S. 
dollar, and consolidated unit sales of 6.6 million.” We will continue to put 

strong efforts into marketing, as well as work to achieve cost reductions 
by holding down fixed costs and conducting companywide VA efforts so 
as to improve our profitability.

Consolidated Financial Forecasts for Fiscal 2012

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, we forecast vehicle sales of 
7.24 million units, net revenues of ¥18,600.0 billion, operating income of 
¥300.0 billion and net income of ¥280.0 billion on a consolidated basis. 
The  exchange  rates  assumed  for  this  forecast  are  ¥82  per  US$1  and 
¥115 per €1.

Factors that are expected to increase income include cost-reduction 
efforts amounting to ¥100.0 billion. Factors that are expected to cause a 
decrease  in  income  include  the  effect  of  exchange  rate  fluctuations 
amounting  to  ¥100.0  billion,  sales  volume/mix  effects  totaling  ¥120.0 
billion and an increase in expenses, etc., reaching ¥48.2 billion. In terms 
of the impact in the next fiscal year of the Great East Japan Earthquake, 
we expect a decrease in unit sales, including a surplus after recovery to 
regular production levels amounting to ¥320.0 billion and decreased cost 
reduction amounting to ¥40.0 billion, for a total impact of ¥360.0 billion. 
Despite temporary factors such as the effect of the disaster, I believe we 
are making steady progress toward achieving the goal set forth in our 
Global Vision of building solid profitability by which we can consistently 
achieve  a  return  to  profitability  in  nonconsolidated  operating  income, 
with  a  consolidated  operating  margin  of  5%  and  operating  income  of 
around  ¥1  trillion  even  under  such  severe  conditions  as  an  exchange 
rate of ¥85 to the U.S. dollar, and consolidated unit sales of 7.5 million.

I believe that the profitability called for in the Global Vision represents 
a “bottom line for sustainable growth,” which means creating a structure 
that  will  generate  earnings  even  in  the  event  of  another  economic 
downturn that, for example, results in a 20% decline in unit sales. Doing 
so means creating a stable business base by creating “better cars” that 
are accepted by our customers and society, and contributing to “enriching 
lives of communities,” which will result in winning the hearts of a growing 
number  of  customers.  By  fostering  that  kind  of  virtuous  cycle  we  can 
realize sustainable growth and increase our corporate value.

The three key components of Toyota’s financial strategy are growth, efficiency and stability.
  We believe that the balanced pursuit of these three priorities over the medium to long term will allow 
us to achieve steady and sustainable growth, as well as increase corporate value.

Growth: Sustainable growth through continuous forward-looking investments
We believe that automotive markets worldwide will grow over the medium to long term. As they expand, the 
center of market growth will shift toward fuel-efficient vehicles, such as hybrid vehicles and compact vehicles, 
and toward resource-rich and emerging markets. We plan to invest actively and efficiently in these areas to 
respond to structural shifts in demand and ensure long-term sustainable growth. We will expand our lineup 
of hybrids and other eco-cars and develop it globally, while making efforts to increase sales in emerging 
markets  by  working  to  strengthen  locally  produced  core  models,  such  as  IMVs  and  newly  developed 
subcompact models. I believe we should work to realize a geographically balanced business structure that 
favors neither developed nor emerging economies.

Efficiency: Improving profitability and capital efficiency
To meet ongoing demand for hybrid and compact vehicles, we aim to provide high quality vehicles at 
affordable  prices  and  to  improve  profitability  through  further  cost  reductions.  We  will  continue  to  slim 
down  our  plant  and  equipment  investment  through  the  effective  use  of  existing  facilities  and  reducing 
changeover costs that arise as a result of model changes. Our goal is to achieve the same effect from 
minimized capital expenditures as we did when they were at their peak. Through such efforts, we will seek 
effective  investment  that  emphasizes  eco-cars  and  emerging  markets  while  improving  our  income 
structure.

Stability: Maintaining a solid financial base
We preserve a solid financial base by ensuring sufficient liquidity and stable shareholders’ equity. Such a 
sound financial position enables us to maintain a level of capital expenditures and investment in research 
and  development  geared  towards  future  growth  as  well  as  to  maintain  the  necessary  level  of  working 
capital, even during difficult business environments such as steep price increases in raw materials or a 
drastic  foreign  exchange  rate  fluctuation,  not  to  mention  such  unexpected  crises  as  the  recent  natural 
disaster. In view of anticipated medium to long-term growth in automotive markets worldwide, we believe 
that  maintaining  adequate  liquidity  is  essential  for  the  implementation  of  forward-looking  investment  to 
improve products and develop next-generation technologies, as well as to establish a structure for produc-
tion  and  sales  in  both  the  Japanese  and  overseas  markets  in  addition  to  the  crisis  measures.  We  will 
continue to pursue further capital efficiency and improved cash flows.

We consider benefiting shareholders one of our top management priorities and make an effort to realize 
sustainable growth through ongoing structural improvements to enhance our corporate value. We strive for 
the  continuous  and  stable  payment  of  dividends  while  giving  due  consideration  to  factors  such  as  the 
business results in each term, investment plans and cash reserves.

To survive amid tough competition, we will utilize our internal funds for the early commercialization of 
next-generation  environmental  and  safety  technologies  that  prioritize  customer  safety  and  confidence. 
Accordingly, we declared an annual dividend payment of ¥50 per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 
2011, an increase of ¥5 per share over the previous year’s annual dividend.
  Given  the  uncertain  outlook  for  the  present  business  environment,  we  will  prioritize  securing  cash 
reserves. Accordingly, we did not repurchase our own shares in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, and 
we plan to forgo such repurchases for the foreseeable future.
  We will continue striving to further improve profits and meet the expectations of our shareholders.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

All financial information discussed in this section is derived from Toyota’s consolidated financial 
statements that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The financial statements have been prepared 
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Consolidated Vehicle Sales

Overview

the  effects  of 

The business segments of Toyota include automo-
tive operations, financial services operations and 
all  other  operations.  Automotive  operations  are 
Toyota’s  most  significant  business  segment, 
accounting  for  89%  of  Toyota’s  total  revenues 
before  the  elimination  of  intersegment  revenues 
for  fiscal  2011.  Toyota’s  primary  markets  based 
on vehicle unit sales for fiscal 2011 were: Japan 
(26%),  North  America  (28%),  Europe  (11%)  and 
Asia  (17%).  Japan’s  economy  suffered  greatly 
from 
the  Great  East  Japan 
Earthquake that occurred on March 11, 2011, and 
its  aftermath  (collectively,  the  “Great  East  Japan 
Earthquake”). Toyota experienced impacts on its 
production  in  the  latter  half  of  March  2011.  This 
also had an effect on Toyota’s results of operations 
in fiscal 2011, particularly in terms of damages on 
several  types  of  assets  such  as  inventories  and 
an  increase  in  provision  for  credit  losses.  The 
following  analysis  describes  these  impacts.  See

Automotive Market Environment

The  worldwide  automotive  market 
is  highly 
competitive and volatile. The demand for automo-
biles is affected by a number of factors including 
social, political and general economic conditions; 
introduction  of  new  vehicles  and  technologies; 
and costs incurred by customers to purchase or 
operate  vehicles.  These 
factors  can  cause 
consumer demand to vary substantially in different 
geographic  markets  and  for  different  types  of 
automobiles.

During  fiscal  2011,  the  automotive  market 
expanded especially in emerging countries such 
as  China,  and  technological  development  and 
new product launches have accelerated, primarily 
due  to  increased  consumer  demand  for  the 
compact and low-price vehicles and heightened 
worldwide environmental awareness.

dated  vehicle  unit  sales  by  geographic  market

Toyota’s  ability  to  satisfy  changing  customer 
preferences can affect its revenues and earnings 
significantly.

The  profitability  of  Toyota’s  automotive 
operations  is  affected  by  many  factors.  These 
factors include:

• vehicle unit sales volumes,
• the mix of vehicle models and options sold,
• the level of parts and service sales,
• the levels of price discounts and other sales

incentives and marketing costs,

based on location of customers for the past three 
fiscal years.

During  fiscal  2010,  Toyota’s  consolidated 
vehicle unit sales in Japan increased as compared 
with  the  prior  fiscal  year  reflecting  frequent 
introduction of new products and sales efforts of 
domestic  dealers.  During  fiscal  2011,  market 
conditions  in  Japan  deteriorated  as  compared 
with the prior fiscal year. Despite this, Toyota and 
Lexus  brands’  market  share  in  Japan  excluding 
mini-vehicles  was  47.3%,  and  Toyota’s  market 
share  (including  Daihatsu  and  Hino  brands)  in 
Japan  including  mini-vehicles  was  43.7%,  both 
maintaining  the  high  level  of  market  share  in 
Japan from the prior fiscal year. Overseas consoli-
dated vehicle unit sales decreased during fiscal 
2010, whereas they increased during fiscal 2011. 
During  fiscal  2010,  total  overseas  vehicle  unit 
sales  decreased,  particularly  in  Europe,  despite 
an  increase  in  Asia.  During  fiscal  2011,  vehicle 
unit sales increased in Asia and Other.

Toyota’s  share  of  total  vehicle  unit  sales  in 
each  market  is  influenced  by  the  quality,  safety, 
reliability,  price,  design,  performance,  economy 
and  utility  of  Toyota’s  vehicles  compared  with 
those offered by other manufacturers. The timely 
introduction of new or redesigned vehicles is also 
an important factor in satisfying customer needs. 

• the  cost  of  customer  warranty  claims  and 

other customer satisfaction actions,

• the cost of research and development and 

other fixed costs,

• the prices of raw materials,
• the ability to control costs,
• the efficient use of production capacity,
• the adverse effect on production due to the 
the 

reliance  on  various  suppliers 
provision of supplies,

for 

• the  adverse  effect  on  market,  sales  and 
productions  of  natural  calamities  and 
interruptions  of  social  infrastructure,  and
• changes in the value of the Japanese yen 
in  which  Toyota 

and  other  currencies 
conducts business.

Changes  in  laws,  regulations,  policies  and 
other  governmental  actions  can  also  materially 
impact  the  profitability  of  Toyota’s  automotive 
operations. These laws, regulations and policies 
include those attributed to environmental matters, 
vehicle safety, fuel economy and emissions that 
can add significantly to the cost of vehicles. The 
European  Union  has  enforced  a  directive  that 
requires  manufacturers  to  be  financially  respon-
sible  for  taking  back  end-of-life  vehicles  and  to 
take  measures  to  ensure  that  adequate  used 
vehicle  disposal  facilities  are  established  and

regulate 

those  hazardous  materials  and  recyclable  parts 
are  removed  from  vehicles  prior  to  scrapping. 
See “Legislation Regarding End-of-Life Vehicles”, 
“Information  on 
the  Company  —  Business 
Overview  —  Governmental  Regulation,  Environ-
mental and Safety Standards” and note 23 to the 
consolidated  financial  statements  for  a  more 
detailed discussion of these laws, regulations and 
policies. 
  Many  governments  also 
local 
content,  impose  tariffs  and  other  trade  barriers, 
and  enact  price  or  exchange  controls  that  can 
limit an automaker’s operations and can make the 
repatriation  of  profits  unpredictable.  Changes  in 
these 
laws,  regulations,  policies  and  other 
governmental actions may affect the production, 
licensing, distribution or sale of Toyota’s products, 
cost of products or applicable tax rates. Toyota is 
currently  one  of  the  defendants  in  purported 
national  class  actions  alleging  violations  of  the 
U.S.  Sherman  Antitrust  Act.  Toyota  believes  that 
its actions have been lawful. In order to avoid a 
protracted dispute, however, Toyota entered into 
a  settlement  agreement  with  the  plaintiffs  at  the 
end of February 2006. The settlement agreement 
is  pending  the  approval  of  the  federal  district 
court,  and 
the 
plaintiffs  will  be  required  under  the  terms  of  the 
settlement  agreement  to  withdraw  all  pending 
actions against Toyota in the federal district court 
as well as all state courts and all related actions 
will be closed. From time-to-time when potential 
safety  problems  arise,  Toyota  issues  vehicle 
recalls and takes other safety measures including 
safety campaigns with respect to its vehicles. In 
November  2009,  Toyota  announced  a  safety 
campaign in North America for certain models of 
Toyota and Lexus brands’ vehicles related to floor 
mat  entrapment  of  accelerator  pedals,  and  later 
expanded  it  to  include  additional  models.  In 

immediately  upon  approval 

January 2010, Toyota announced a recall in North 
America  for  certain  models  of  Toyota  vehicles 
related to sticking and slow-to-return accelerator 
pedals. Also in January 2010, Toyota recalled in 
Europe  and  China  certain  models  of  Toyota 
vehicles related to sticking accelerator pedals. In 
February  2010,  Toyota  announced  a  recall  in 
markets  including  Japan,  North  America  and 
Europe  related  to  the  braking  control  system  in 
certain  vehicle  models  including  the  Prius.  The 
recalls  and  other  safety  measures  described 
above  have  led  to  a  number  of  claims,  lawsuits 
and government investigations against Toyota in 
the United States. For a more detailed description 
of these claims, lawsuits and government investi-
gations, see note 23 to the consolidated financial 
statements.

The  worldwide  automotive  industry  is  in  a 
period of global competition which may continue 
for  the  foreseeable  future,  and  in  general  the 
competitive environment in which Toyota operates 
is  likely  to  intensify.  Toyota  believes  it  has  the 
resources,  strategies  and  technologies  in  place 
to  compete  effectively  in  the  industry  as  an 
independent company for the foreseeable future.

Financial Services Operations

The competition of worldwide automobile financial 
services  industry  is  intensifying  despite  the 
recovery  trend  in  the  automotive  markets.  As 
competition  increases,  margins  on  financing 
transactions  may  decrease  and  market  share 
may  also  decline  as  customers  obtain  financing 
for Toyota vehicles from alternative sources.

Toyota’s financial services operations mainly 
include loans and leasing programs for customers 
and  dealers.  Toyota  believes  that  its  ability  to 
provide financing to its customers is an important 
value  added  service.  Therefore,  Toyota  has 
expanded  its  network  of  finance  subsidiaries  in 

order to offer financial services in many countries.
Toyota’s  competitors  for  retail  financing  and 
retail  leasing  include  commercial  banks,  credit 
unions and other finance companies. Meanwhile, 
commercial banks and other captive automobile 
finance companies also compete against Toyota’s 
wholesale financing activities.

Toyota’s  financial  assets  decreased  during 
fiscal  2011  due  to  the  unfavorable  impact  of 
fluctuations in foreign currency translation rates.

Toyota’s  finance  receivables  are  subject  to 
collectability risks. These risks include consumer 
and dealer insolvencies and insufficient collateral 
values (less costs to sell) to realize the full carrying 
values  of  these  receivables.  See  discussion  in 
“Critical  Accounting  Estimates  —  Allowance  for 
Doubtful Accounts and Credit Losses” and note 
11 to the consolidated financial statements.

Toyota continues to originate leases to finance 
new Toyota vehicles. These leasing activities are 
subject  to  residual  value  risk.  Residual  value 
losses  could  be  incurred  when  the  lessee  of  a 
vehicle does not exercise the option to purchase 
the  vehicle  at  the  end  of  the  lease  term.  See 
discussion  in  “Critical  Accounting  Estimates  — 
Investment  in  Operating  Leases”  and  note  2  to 
the consolidated financial statements.

The  fluctuations  in  funding  costs  can  affect 
the  profitability  of  Toyota’s  financial  services 
operations.  Funding  costs  are  affected  by  a 
number  of  factors,  some  of  which  are  not  in 
Toyota’s  control.  These  factors  include  general 
economic conditions, prevailing interest rates and 
Toyota’s  financial  strength.  Funding  costs 

decreased during fiscal 2010 and 2011, mainly as 
a result of lower interest rates.

Toyota  launched  its  credit  card  business  in 
Japan in April 2001. As of March 31, 2010, Toyota 
had  7.7  million  cardholders,  an  increase  of  0.6 
million  cardholders  compared  with  March  31, 
2009. As of March 31, 2011, Toyota had 8.9 million 
cardholders, an increase of 1.2 million cardholders 
compared with March 31, 2010. The credit card 
receivables at March 31, 2010 increased by ¥30.8 
billion from March 31, 2009 to ¥255.4 billion. The 
credit  card  receivables  at  March  31,  2011 
increased by ¥8.1 billion from March 31, 2010 to 
¥263.5 billion.

technology  and  telecommunications,  intelligent 
transport systems, GAZOO and other. 

information 
including 

Toyota  does  not  expect  its  other  business 
operations  to  materially  contribute  to  Toyota’s 
consolidated results of operations. 

Currency Fluctuations

Toyota  is  affected  by  fluctuations  in  foreign 
currency  exchange  rates.  In  addition  to  the 
Japanese yen, Toyota is exposed to fluctuations 
in the value of the U.S. dollar and the euro and, to 
a lesser extent, the Australian dollar, the Canadian 
dollar,  the  British  pound,  and  others.  Toyota’s 
consolidated  financial  statements,  which  are 
presented  in  Japanese  yen,  are  affected  by 
foreign  currency  exchange  fluctuations  through 
both translation risk and transaction risk.

Translation  risk  is  the  risk  that  Toyota’s 
consolidated financial statements for a particular 
period or for a particular date will be affected by 

changes  in  the  prevailing  exchange  rates  of  the 
currencies  in  those  countries  in  which  Toyota 
does business compared with the Japanese yen. 
Even though the fluctuations of currency exchange 
rates  to  the  Japanese  yen  can  be  substantial, 
and,  therefore,  significantly  impact  comparisons 
the  various 
with  prior  periods  and  among 
geographic  markets,  the  translation  risk  is  a 
reporting  consideration  and  does  not  reflect 
Toyota’s underlying results of operations. Toyota 
does not hedge against translation risk.

Transaction risk is the risk that the currency 
structure  of  Toyota’s  costs  and  liabilities  will 
deviate  from  the  currency  structure  of  sales 
proceeds  and  assets.  Transaction  risk  relates 
from  Toyota’s 
primarily 
non-domestic operations from vehicles produced 
in Japan.

to  sales  proceeds 

to 

Toyota  believes  that  the  location  of  its 
production facilities in different parts of the world 
has significantly reduced the level of transaction 
risk.  As  part  of  its  globalization  strategy,  Toyota 
has  continued 
localize  production  by 
constructing  production  facilities  in  the  major 
markets in which it sells its vehicles. In calendar 
2009  and  2010,  Toyota  produced  64.5%  and 
73.4%  of  Toyota’s  non-domestic  sales  outside 
Japan, respectively. In North America, 60.0% and 
72.6% of vehicles sold in calendar 2009 and 2010 
respectively  were  produced  locally.  In  Europe, 
57.0%  and  59.0%  of  vehicles  sold  in  calendar 
2009  and  2010  respectively  were  produced 
locally.  Localizing  production  enables  Toyota  to 
locally  purchase  many  of  the  supplies  and 
resources used in the production process, which 
allows  for  a  better  match  of  local  currency 
revenues with local currency expenses.

Toyota  also  enters  into  foreign  currency 
transactions  and  other  hedging  instruments  to 
address a portion of its transaction risk. This has 

reduced, but not eliminated, the effects of foreign 
currency  exchange  rate  fluctuations,  which  in 
some years can be significant. See notes 20 and 
21 to the consolidated financial statements for 
additional information.
  Generally, a weakening of the Japanese yen 
against other currencies has a positive effect on 
Toyota’s  revenues,  operating  income  and  net 
income attributable to Toyota Motor Corporation. 
A  strengthening  of  the  Japanese  yen  against 
other currencies has the opposite effect. In fiscal 
2010 and 2011, the Japanese yen was on average 
and at the end of the fiscal year stronger against 
the U.S. dollar and the euro in comparison to the 
prior  fiscal  year.  See 
in 
“Quantitative  and  Qualitative  Disclosures  about 
Market Risk — Market Risk Disclosures — Foreign 
Currency Exchange Rate Risk”. 

further  discussion 

During  fiscal  2010  and  2011,  the  average 
exchange rate of the Japanese yen strengthened 
against the major currencies including the U.S. 
dollar and the euro compared with the average 
exchange  rate  of  the  prior  fiscal  year.  The 
operating results excluding the impact of currency 
fluctuations  described  in  “Results  of  Operations 
— Fiscal 2011 Compared with Fiscal 2010” and 
“Results of Operations — Fiscal 2010 Compared 
with  Fiscal  2009”  show  results  of  net  revenues 
obtained by applying the Japanese yen’s average 
exchange  rate  in  the  previous  fiscal  year  to  the 
local  currency-denominated  net  revenues  for 
fiscal 2010 and 2011, respectively, as if the value 
of  the  Japanese  yen  had  remained  constant  for 
the  comparable  periods.  Results  excluding  the 
impact  of  currency  fluctuations  year-on-year  are 
not  on  the  same  basis  as  Toyota’s  consolidated 
financial statements and do not conform with U.S. 
GAAP. Furthermore, Toyota does not believe that 
these  measures  are  a  substitute  for  U.S.  GAAP 
measures. However, Toyota believes that such

Net Revenues

Toyota had net revenues for fiscal 2011 of ¥18,993.6 
billion,  an  increase  of  ¥42.7  billion,  or  0.2%, 
compared with the prior fiscal year. This increase 
reflects the impact of increased vehicle unit sales 
and  changes  in  sales  mix  of  approximately 
¥740.0 billion, as well as increased parts sales of 
¥69.8 billion, partially offset by unfavorable impact 
of fluctuations in foreign currency translation rates 
of  ¥801.3  billion.  Excluding  the  difference  in  the 
Japanese yen value used for translation purposes 
of  ¥801.3  billion,  net  revenues  would  have  been 
approximately ¥19,794.9 billion during fiscal 2011, 
a  4.5%  increase  compared  with  the  prior  fiscal 
year.  The  automotive  market 
in  fiscal  2011 
contracted  by  6.6%  in  Japan  compared  with  the 
prior  fiscal  year  due  to  the  decline  in  demand

Toyota’s  net  revenues  include  net  revenues 
from sales of products, consisting of net revenues 
from  automotive  operations  and  all  other 
operations, that increased by 0.5% during fiscal 
2011  compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year  to 
¥17,820.5 billion, and net revenues from financial 
services  operations  that  decreased  by  4.3% 
during fiscal 2011 compared with the prior fiscal 
year to ¥1,173.1 billion. Excluding the difference in 
the  Japanese  yen  value  used  for  translation 
purposes  of  ¥724.1  billion,  net  revenues  from 
sales  of  products  would  have  been  ¥18,544.6 
billion,  a  4.6%  increase  during  fiscal  2011 

compared with the prior fiscal year. The increase 
in net revenues from sales of products is due to 
an  increase  in  Toyota  vehicle  unit  sales  by  71 
thousand  vehicles.  Excluding  the  difference  in 
the  Japanese  yen  value  used  for  translation 
purposes  of  ¥77.2  billion,  net  revenues  from 
financial  services  operations  would  have  been 
approximately  ¥1,250.3  billion,  a  2.0%  increase 
during fiscal 2011 compared with the prior fiscal 
year. This increase was mainly due to the increase 
of  ¥13.1  billion  rental  revenue  generated  by 
vehicles and equipment on operating lease.

Due  to  the  decline  in  demand  following  the 
conclusion of subsidies for eco-car offered by the 
government as a part of its stimulus packages, as 
well  as  the  impact  of  the  Great  East  Japan 
Earthquake, Toyota’s domestic vehicle unit sales 
decreased by 250 thousand vehicles compared 
with the prior fiscal year. The decrease in vehicle 
unit sales  resulted primarily from a  30 thousand 

vehicles, or 31.1%, decrease in Passo sales and a 
29  thousand  vehicles,  or  38.4%,  decrease  in 
WISH sales. On the other hand, the decrease in 
net  revenues  from  domestic  vehicle  unit  sales 
was partially offset by the increase in the number 
of exported vehicles for the overseas markets of 
190 thousand vehicles, or 8.6%.

Toyota’s  vehicle  unit  sales  in  Asia  increased  by 
276  thousand  vehicles  compared  with  the  prior 
fiscal  year  and  represented  a  record  high  unit 
sales.  This  increase  in  net  revenues  was  due  to 
the overall recovery of Asian automotive markets 
which was supported by the recovery trend of the 

Asian  economy,  particularly  in  Thailand  and 
Indonesia.  Excluding  the  difference  of  ¥70.7 
billion  in  the  Japanese  yen  value  used  for 
translation  purposes,  net  revenues  would  have 
increased by ¥789.9 billion.

Operating  costs  and  expenses  decreased  by 
¥278.0 billion, or 1.5%, to ¥18,525.4 billion during 
fiscal  2011  compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year. 
This  decrease  resulted  from  the  ¥765.1  billion 
favorable impact of fluctuations in foreign currency 
translation rates, and the ¥180.0 billion impact of 
cost  reduction  efforts,  partially  offset  by  the 
¥580.0  billion  impact  of  increase  in  vehicle  unit 
sales  and  change  in  sales  mix  and  the  ¥71.7 
billion  increase  in  the  miscellaneous  costs  and 
others  including  ¥20.0  billion  increase  in  costs 
related to the Great East Japan Earthquake, and 
the ¥15.4 billion impact of increase in parts sales.
The  ¥71.7  billion  increase  in  miscellaneous 
costs  and  others  includes  ¥30.0  billion  increase 
in  product  quality  related  expenses.  This  cost 
increased compared with the prior fiscal year due 
to  the  approximately  ¥100.0  billion  increase  in 
costs related to recalls and other safety measures 
conducted  to  heighten  the  level  of  reassurance 
for customers, partially offset by the approximately 

¥70.0 billion decrease in product warranty costs 
due to decrease in payments to repair or replace 
defects of vehicles based on warranty contracts.

statements for further information.

In fiscal 2011, Toyota announced recalls and 

other safety measures including the following:

In July 2010, Toyota announced in Japan and 
other regions the voluntary safety recall of certain 
models  of  Toyota  and  Lexus  brands’  vehicles 
related to abnormal engine noise or idling due to 
engine valve springs that contained some foreign 
materials.  The  affected  vehicle  models  included 
Crown, GS350/450h/460, IS350, and LS460/600h/ 
600hL, and 275 thousand vehicles were included 
in this recall.

In  August  2010,  Toyota  announced  in  North 
America  the  voluntary  safety  recall  of  certain 
models of Toyota vehicles to address the check 
engine  illuminations  and  harsh  shifting  that  may 
result  from  improper  manufacturing  of  some

Electronic Control Modules (ECMs). The affected 
vehicle models included Corolla and Matrix, and 
1,360  thousand  vehicles  were  included  in  this 
recall.

In October 2010, Toyota announced in Japan 
and  other  regions  the  voluntary  safety  recall  of 
certain  models  of  Toyota  and  Lexus  brands’ 
vehicles related to the connector terminal that may 
fail due to the inflexibility of the material of the fuel 
pump  wiring  harness  and  braking  performance 
that may gradually decline by brake fluid leakage 
from  the  brake  master  cylinder.  The  affected 
vehicle  models  included  Crown,  Crown  Majesta, 
Mark  X,  KlugerL,  KlugerV,  Harrier,  AlphardG, 
AlphardV,  Avalon,  Highlander,  RX330,  GS300, 
GS350,  IS250,  IS350,  and  IS220D,  and  1,470 
thousand vehicles were included in this recall.

In January 2011, Toyota announced in Japan 
and  other  regions  the  voluntary  safety  recall  of 
certain  models  of  Toyota  and  Lexus  brands’ 
vehicles to address fuel leakage that may result 
from improper manufacturing of engine fuel pipe 
and  fuel  pump.  The  affected  vehicle  models 
included  Noah,  Voxy,  RAV4L,  RAV4J,  Caldina, 
Isis, Vista, Vista Ardeo, Opa, Premio, Allion, Gaia, 
Nadia,  WISH,  Avensis,  and  Avensis  Wagon  and 
1,343  thousand  vehicles  were  included  in  this 
recall.

The  net  changes  in  fiscal  2010  and  2011  in 
the  accrual  for  the  four  recalls  and  other  safety 
measures that occurred in fiscal 2010 are shown

Toyota  expanded  the  coverage  of  a  safety 
campaign in North America for certain models of 
Toyota and Lexus brands’ vehicles related to floor 
mat entrapment of accelerator pedals to include 
additional models, which was initially announced 
in  November  2009.  In  March  2011,  Toyota  also 
expanded  the  safety  campaign  coverage  to 
include  more  models  to  heighten  the  level  of 
reassurance  for  customers.  The  vehicle  models 
involved were LX570, RAV4, and 4Runner.

Cost Reduction Efforts

During fiscal 2011, continued cost reduction efforts 
reduced  operating  costs  and  expenses  by  ¥180.0 
billion.  The  effect  of  cost  reduction  efforts  include 
the impact of fluctuation in the price of steel, precious 
metals,  non-ferrous  alloys 
including  aluminum, 
plastic  parts  and  other  production  materials  and 
parts. In fiscal 2011, raw materials prices were on an 
increasing trend; however, continued cost reduction 
efforts, by working closely with suppliers, contributed 
to  the  improvement  in  earnings  by  offsetting  the 
effects  from  price  increase.  These  cost  reduction 
efforts  related  to  ongoing  value  engineering  and 
value  analysis  activities,  the  use  of  common  parts 
resulting  in  a  reduction  of  part  types  and  other 
manufacturing  initiatives  designed  to  reduce  the 
costs of vehicle production.

Cost of Products Sold

Cost of products sold increased by ¥14.3 billion, or 
0.1%, 
to  ¥15,985.8  billion  during  fiscal  2011 
compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year.  The  increase 
resulted from the ¥520.0 billion impact of increase 
in  vehicle  unit  sales  and  changes  in  sales  mix, 
¥90.0 billion increase in miscellaneous costs, and 
the ¥13.9 billion impact of increases in parts sales, 
partially offset by the ¥584.9 billion favorable impact 
of fluctuations in foreign currency translation rates, 
and  the  ¥180.0  billion  impact  of  cost  reduction 

efforts.  The  increase  in  miscellaneous  costs  was 
due  mainly  to  the  ¥30.0  billion  increase  in  costs 
related to quality initiatives, the ¥25.0 billion increase 
in  research  and  development  expenses  and  the 
¥5.2 billion increase in labor costs. The increase in 
vehicle unit sales and the changes in sales mix was 
due to the automotive market recovery associated 
with global economic turnaround.

Cost of financing operations decreased by ¥82.8 
billion, or 11.6%, to ¥629.5 billion during fiscal 2011 
compared with the prior fiscal year. The decrease 
resulted from the ¥64.7 billion favorable impact of 
fluctuations  in  foreign  currency  translation  rates, 

the ¥30.0 billion decrease in provision for residual 
value  losses  and  the  ¥6.4  billion  recognition  of 
valuation gains on interest rate swaps stated at fair 
value. The decrease in provision for residual value 
losses is attributable to prices in the used vehicles 
markets remaining at an unprecedented high level 
particularly in the United States.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses 
decreased by ¥209.5 billion, or 9.9%, to ¥1,910.1 
billion during fiscal 2011 compared with the prior 
fiscal  year.  This  decrease  reflects  the  ¥115.5 
billion  favorable  impact  of  fluctuations  in  foreign 
currency  translation  rates  and  the  ¥83.9  billion 
decrease  for  the  financial  services  operations. 
This decrease for the financial services operations 
includes the ¥100.0 billion decrease in provision 
for  credit  losses  and  net  charge-offs,  which  is 
attributable 
the  prices  of  used  vehicles 
remaining at an unprecedented high level mainly 
in the United States and the prices of used Toyota 
and  Lexus  brands’  vehicles  also  remaining  at  a 
high  level,  partially  offset  by  the  ¥15.0  billion 
increase  in  provision  for  credit  losses  and 
charge-offs  in  relation  to  the  Great  East  Japan 
Earthquake.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest and dividend income increased by ¥12.6 
billion, or 16.0%, to ¥90.8 billion during fiscal 2011 
compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year  due  to  the 
¥10.5 billion increase of dividend income.

Interest expense decreased by ¥4.1 billion, or

¥53.9  billion,  or  79.0%,  to  ¥14.3  billion  during 
fiscal  2011  compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year. 
Foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  include  the 
differences between the value of foreign currency 
denominated  sales 
translated  at  prevailing 
exchange rates and the value of the sales amounts
settled  during  the  year,  including  those  settled 
using 
foreign  currency  exchange 
contracts.
  Other income, net decreased by ¥11.7 billion, 
or  37.7%,  to  ¥19.2  billion  during  fiscal  2011

Income Taxes

The  provision  for  income  taxes  increased  by 
¥220.2 billion, or 237.6%, to ¥312.8 billion during 
fiscal  2011  compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year 
due  to  the  increase  in  income  before  income 
taxes.  The  effective  tax  rate  for  fiscal  2011  was 
55.5%,  which  was  higher  than  the  statutory  tax 
rate  in  Japan.  This  was  due  to  the  increase  in 
deferred  tax  liabilities  relating  to  undistributed 
earnings in affiliated companies accounted for by 
the equity method.

Net Income and Loss attributable to the 
Noncontrolling Interest and Equity in 
Earnings of Affiliated Companies

Net  income  attributable  to  the  noncontrolling 
interest  increased  by  ¥22.5  billion,  or  64.9%,  to 
¥57.3 billion during fiscal 2011 compared with the 
prior  fiscal  year.  This  increase  was  due  to  an 
increase  during  fiscal  2011 
income 
attributable  to  the  shareholders  of  consolidated 
subsidiaries.

Equity  in  earnings  of  affiliated  companies 
during fiscal 2011 increased by ¥169.6 billion, or

for by the equity method.

Net Income attributable to Toyota Motor 
Corporation

Net  income  attributable  to  the  shareholders  of

billion compared with gains of ¥176.4 billion in the 
prior  fiscal  year.  The  decrease  in  unrealized 
holding gains on securities was due to changes 
in stock prices.

Automotive Operations Segment

The  automotive  operations  segment  is  Toyota’s 
largest  operating  segment  by  net  revenues.  Net 
revenues  for  the  automotive  segment  increased 
during  fiscal  2011  by  ¥139.9  billion,  or  0.8%, 
compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year  to  ¥17,337.3 
billion. The increase was due to the ¥740.0 billion 
impact  of  increased  vehicle  unit  sales  and  the 
changes in sales mix and the ¥69.8 billion increase 
in parts sales, partially offset by the ¥722.5 billion 
unfavorable 
foreign 
impact  of  fluctuations

income 

  Operating 
the  automotive 
operations increased by ¥172.3 billion during fiscal 
2011 compared with the prior fiscal year to ¥86.0 
billion. This increase in operating income was due 
to  the  ¥300.0  billion  impact  of  increased  vehicle 
unit sales and the changes in sales mix, the ¥180.0 
billion effect of cost reduction efforts and the ¥54.4 
billion  impact  of  increase  in  parts  sales,  partially 
offset by the ¥30.0 billion increase in miscellaneous 
costs and the ¥290.0 billion unfavorable impact of 
fluctuations in foreign currency rates.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The increase in vehicle unit sales and changes 
in  sales  mix  was  due  primarily  to  an  increase  in 
Toyota’s vehicle unit sales by 71 thousand vehicles 
compared with the prior fiscal year, favored by the 
automotive  market  recovery  during  fiscal  2011. 
The increase in miscellaneous costs includes the 
¥30.0  billion  increase  in  costs  related  to  quality 
initiatives and the ¥5.0 billion impact of damages in 
inventories  and  other  assets  resulting  from  the 
Great East Japan Earthquake.

Financial Services Operations Segment

Net revenues for the financial services operations 
decreased  during  fiscal  2011  by  ¥53.2  billion,  or 
4.3%,  compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year  to 
¥1,192.2 billion. This decrease was primarily due to 
the  unfavorable  impact  of  fluctuations  in  foreign 
currency translation rates of ¥77.5 billion, partially 
offset by the ¥13.1 billion increase in rental income 

from vehicles and equipment on operating leases.
  Operating  income  from  financial  services 
operations increased by ¥111.3 billion, or 45.1%, to 
¥358.2  billion  during  fiscal  2011  compared  with 
the prior fiscal year. This increase was due to the 
¥100.0  billion  decrease  in  provision  for  credit 
losses and net charge-offs, and the ¥30.0 billion 
decrease  in  provision  for  residual  value  losses, 
while  the  provision  for  credit  losses  and  net 
charge-offs  include  the  ¥15.0  billion  increase  in 
provision  for  credit  losses  and  net  charge-offs 
related to the Great East Japan Earthquake.

The decrease in provisions for credit losses, 
net of charge-offs and residual value losses are 
primarily attributable to used car prices rising to 
an unprecedented high level in the United States 
and the prices of used Toyota and Lexus brands’ 
vehicles also remaining at a high level.

Net Revenues

Toyota  had  net  revenues  for  fiscal  2010  of 
¥18,950.9  billion,  a  decrease  of  ¥1,578.6  billion, 
or 7.7%, compared with the prior fiscal year. This 
decrease  principally  reflects  the  unfavorable 
impact  of  fluctuations 
foreign  currency 
translation  rates  of  ¥986.9  billion,  the  impact  of 
decreased  vehicle  unit  sales  and  changes  in 

in 

sales mix of approximately ¥570.0 billion, partially 
offset by the increased parts sales of ¥34.9 billion 
during fiscal 2010. Excluding the difference in the 
Japanese yen value used for translation purposes 
of ¥986.9 billion, net revenues would have been 
approximately ¥19,937.8 billion during fiscal 2010, 
a 2.9% decrease compared with the prior fiscal 
year. The automotive market expanded by 10.0%

contracted  significantly  such  as  by  22.0%  in 
North America and 13.7% in Europe compared to 

the  prior  calendar  year  due  to  the  continuous

friendly and new vehicle markets, consisting of a 

210  thousand  vehicles,  or  297.6%,  increase  in 
Prius sales and a 19 thousand vehicles increase 
in  SAI  sales.  However,  net  revenues  in  Japan 
decreased  reflecting 
the  decrease  by  497

In  North  America,  the  market  is  recovering 
gradually  from  the  downturn  stemming  from  the 
financial crisis since the fall of 2008 and Toyota’s 
vehicle unit sales in the second half of fiscal 2010 
increased  by  339  thousand  vehicles,  or  39.6%, 
year-on-year  primarily  consisting  of  an  increase 
by  57  thousand  vehicles,  or  35.3%,  increase  in 
Corolla sales, 50 thousand vehicles, or 33.9%, in 
Camry sales, 48 thousand vehicles, or 86.1%, in 
RAV4 sales, and 11 thousand vehicles, or 30.2%, 
in sales of the new Sienna. This increase was in 
spite  of  having  influence  by  recalls  and  other 
safety measures, such as the temporary decrease 
in  retail  sales  of  Toyota  brand’s  vehicle  by  18

thousand  vehicles,  or  15.8%,  in  January,  2010 
and  9  thousand  vehicles,  or  8.5%,  decrease  in 
February, 2010 in each case compared with the 
same  month  in  the  prior  year.  However,  net 
revenues  decreased  primarily  as  a  result  of  a 
decrease  in  vehicle  unit  sales  by  114  thousand 
vehicles  during  fiscal  2010  compared  with  the 
prior fiscal year due to a significant decrease in 
vehicle  unit  sales  by  453  thousand  vehicles,  or 
33.4%,  caused  by  the  downturn  in  the  market 
during the first half of fiscal 2010 and the impact 
of fluctuation in foreign currency translation rates 
of ¥474.6 billion.

vehicles, or 14.5%, in Spain compared with the 
prior  fiscal  year  benefiting 
from  various 
government  stimulus  packages,  net  revenues 

in  Europe  overall  decreased  primarily  due  to

vehicle  unit  sales  which  resulted  from  the

fluctuations in foreign currency translation rates 
of ¥260.6 billion.

Operating  costs  and  expenses  decreased  by 
¥2,187.1  billion,  or  10.4%,  to  ¥18,803.4  billion 
during fiscal 2010 compared with the prior fiscal 
year.  This  decrease  resulted  primarily  from  the 
¥963.3  billion  impact  of  fluctuations  in  foreign 
currency  translation  rates,  the  ¥520.0  billion 
impact of cost reduction efforts, the ¥470.0 billion 
decrease 
the  ¥178.7  billion 
decrease in research and development expenses, 
and the approximately ¥110.0 billion impact of the 
decrease in vehicle unit sales and the changes in 
sales  mix,  partially  offset  by  the  ¥11.2  billion 
impact on increase in parts sales. The decrease 
in fixed costs and other efforts are partially offset 
by  the  ¥105.7  billion  increase  in  costs  resulting 
from a change in the estimation model of expenses 
related to future recalls and other safety measures.

The  ¥946.3  billion  in  cost  reduction  efforts, 
decrease  in  fixed  costs  and  other  efforts  was 
partially  offset  by  ¥97.0  billion  net  increase  in 
costs related to recalls and other safety measures 
from fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2010. This net increase 
includes a ¥105.7 billion increase in costs resulting 
from  a  change  in  the  estimation  model  used  to 
record Toyota’s liability for recalls and other safety 
measures in fiscal 2010, an ¥89.0 billion increase 
resulting from the total estimated costs of the four 
recalls and other safety measures in fiscal 2010 
as described below, and a ¥32.3 billion increase 
in  costs  related  to  other  recalls  and  safety 
measures in fiscal 2010, offset by a decrease of
approximately  ¥130.0  billion  related  to  customer 
satisfaction  measures  with  respect  to  certain 
Tacoma pick-up trucks in North America recorded 
in fiscal 2009 also described below.

  Of the ¥32.3 billion increase in costs related 
to other recalls and safety measures taken during 
is 
fiscal  2010,  approximately  ¥21.0  billion 
attributable  to  an  accrual  of  additional  costs  in 
fiscal  2010  related 
to  customer  satisfaction 
measures with respect to Tacoma pick-up trucks 
reflecting an update to the repair ratio, based on
fiscal 2010 repair experience, and the remainder 
is the result of an increased number of small-scale 
recalls and other safety measures.

The  following  is  a  description  of  the  four 
recalls  and  other  safety  measures  referenced 
above.

In fiscal 2010, Toyota experienced a significant 
increase  in  the  number  of  vehicles  subject  to 
recalls  and  other  safety  measures.  There  were 
over 14,000 thousand vehicles worldwide subject 
to  recalls  and  other  safety  measures  in  fiscal 
2010, the majority of which occurred in the third 
and fourth quarters of fiscal 2010 relating to the 
following four recalls and other safety measures.

In  November  2009,  Toyota  announced  a 
safety  campaign  in  North  America  for  certain 
models  of  Toyota  and  Lexus  brands’  vehicles 
related  to  floor  mat  entrapment  of  accelerator 
pedals, and later expanded it to include additional 
models. The vehicle models involved were Camry, 
Avalon, Prius, Tacoma, Tundra, ES350, IS250/350, 
Highlander, Corolla, Venza and Matrix. In addition, 
in  March  2011,  Toyota  expanded  the  safety 
campaign coverage to include additional models 
to heighten the level of reassurance for customers. 
The vehicle models involved were LX570, RAV4, 
and  4Runner.  As  of  the  end  of  March  2011, 
approximately  58%  of  the  approximately  7,600 
thousand vehicles included in the campaign were 
remedied to address the potential issues.

In January 2010, Toyota announced a recall 
in  North  America  for  certain  models  of  Toyota 
vehicles  related  to  sticking  and  slow-to-return 

accelerator pedals. The vehicle models involved 
were  Tundra,  Sequoia,  Avalon,  Camry,  Corolla, 
Matrix,  RAV4  and  Highlander.  As  of  the  end  of 
March  2011,  approximately  89%  of 
the 
approximately 2,500 thousand vehicles subject to 
this recall were remedied to address sticking and 
slow-to-return accelerator pedals.

to 

Also  in  January  2010,  Toyota  announced  a 
recall in Europe and China for certain models of 
sticking  and 
related 
Toyota  vehicles 
slow-to-return  accelerator  pedals.  The  vehicle 
models  involved  in  Europe  were  Yaris,  Verso, 
Corolla,  Auris,  Aygo,  RAV4,  iQ  and  Avensis.  In 
China,  the  recall  was  limited  to  RAV4.  As  of  the 
end  of  March  2011,  approximately  89%  of  the 
approximately 1,700 thousand vehicles subject to 
this  recall  in  Europe,  and  approximately  99%  of 
the approximately 7,500 thousand vehicles subject 
to this recall in China, were remedied to address 
sticking and slow-to-return accelerator pedals.

In  February  2010,  Toyota  announced  a 
worldwide recall related to the software program 
that controls the anti-lock braking system (ABS) in 
Prius, HS250h, Prius PHV and SAI. As of the end 
the 
of  March  2011,  approximately  96%  of 
approximately 430 thousand units subject to this 
recall received program updates.

As  of  the  end  of  March  2011,  a  total  of 
approximately  12.3  million 
remedies  were 
announced on vehicles subject to the above four 
recalls and other safety measures. Total estimated 
costs associated with the above four recalls and 
other  safety  measures  amounted  to  ¥89.0  billion 
for  fiscal  2010.  Of  this  amount,  actual  payments 
incurred for fiscal 2010 amounted to ¥32.4 billion 
yen. Specific types of costs involved include costs 
for parts, labor and costs related to loaner vehicles.
The  net  changes  in  the  accrual  for  the  four 
recalls  and  other  safety  measures  described 
above consist of the following:

The following is a description of the customer 
satisfaction  measures  related  to  certain  Tacoma 
pick-up trucks in North America referred to above.
In fiscal 2009, Toyota accrued the cost of the 
customer satisfaction measures related to Tacoma 
pick-up  trucks  in  North  America  in  order  to 
address the possibility of rust developing on the 
frame of a portion of older model Tacoma pick-up 
trucks  manufactured  in  North  America  between 
1995 and 2004, by rendering repair services for a 
portion  of  the  vehicles  and  providing  warranty 
extensions  of  up  to  15  years  to  owners  of 
approximately  820  thousand  vehicles,  a  portion 
of  which  may 
include  vehicle  buyback. 
Accordingly,  the  cost  of  approximately  ¥130.0 
billion  was  recorded  in  operating  costs  and 
expenses in fiscal 2009. The repair ratio for these 
customer satisfaction measures to date has been 
relatively  low  due  primarily  to  the  low  rate  of 
incidence of rust on the frames of these vehicles 
which  may  occur  when  exposed  to  severe 
environmental conditions including accumulation 
of road salts. This low repair ratio was assumed in 
the calculation of the accrual.

The  net  changes  in  the  accrual  for  the 
customer satisfaction measures related to Tacoma 
pick-up trucks in North America described above 
consist of the following:

Cost Reduction Efforts

During  fiscal  2010,  continued  cost  reduction 
efforts reduced operating costs and expenses by 
approximately  ¥520.0  billion.  The  cost  reduction 
efforts  include  decreases  in  the  prices  of  steel, 
precious  metals,  non-ferrous  alloys  including 
aluminum,  plastic  parts  and  other  production 
materials and parts. In fiscal 2010, the decline in
raw materials prices and, continued cost reduction 
efforts,  by  working  closely  with  suppliers, 
contributed  to  the  improvement  in  earnings. 
These  cost  reduction  efforts  related  to  ongoing 
value  engineering  and  value  analysis  activities, 
the use of common parts that result in a reduction 
of  part  types  and  other  manufacturing  initiatives 
designed 
the  costs  of  vehicle 
production.

Cost of Products Sold

Cost  of  products  sold  decreased  by  ¥1,496.9 
billion, or 8.6%, to ¥15,971.5 billion during fiscal 
2010  compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year.  The 
decrease  resulted  primarily  from  the  ¥738.5 
billion impact of fluctuations in foreign currency 
translation rates, the ¥520.0 billion impact of cost 
reduction efforts, the ¥159.4 billion of decrease 
in  fixed  costs  and  other  efforts  including  the 
¥178.7  billion  decrease 
research  and 
development  expenses,  and  the  ¥88.0  billion 
impact of the decrease in vehicle unit sales and 

in 

in 

changes in sales mix, partially offset by the ¥9.0 
billion  impact  of  increases  in  parts  sales.  The 
decrease  in  fixed  costs  was  due  mainly  to  the 
¥178.7  billion  decline 
research  and 
development  expenses  and  the  ¥39.1  billion 
decline  in  labor  costs  as  a  result  of  profit 
improvement initiatives. The decrease in vehicle 
unit sales and the changes in sales mix were due 
to factors such as the substantial contraction of 
the  automotive  market  caused  by  the  financial 
crisis  since  the  fall  of  2008.  The  decrease  in 
research  and  development  expenses 
is 
to  reduced  development  costs 
attributable 
realized  as  a  result  of  Toyota’s  more  focused 
investment  decisions  for  the  future  such  as  in 
technologies,  and  effective 
environmental 
management  over  research  and  development 
expenses spending.

Cost  of  financing  operations  decreased  by 
¥275.1 billion, or 27.9%, to ¥712.3 billion during 
fiscal  2010  compared  with  the  prior  year.  The 
decrease resulted primarily from the ¥83.5 billion 
foreign  currency 
impact  of  fluctuations 

in 

translation  rates,  the  ¥70.0  billion  favorable 
impact  of  changes  in  funding  costs,  the  ¥64.5 
billion  recognition  of  valuation  gains  on  interest 
rate  swaps  stated  at  fair  value,  and  the  ¥50.0 
billion  decrease  in  provision  for  residual  value 
losses.  The  favorable  impact  of  changes  in 
funding costs is attributable to a decline in market 
interest  rates.  The  decrease  in  provision  for 
residual  value  losses  is  primarily  attributable  to 
the  recovery  of  the  used  vehicles  markets 
particularly in the United States and other effects, 
partially offset by the impact from the recalls and 
other safety measures. Toyota judges this impact 
does  not  have  a  material  impact  on  Toyota’s 
consolidated  financial  statements  though  it  is 
difficult  to  quantify  the  impact  from  the  recalls 
and  other  safety  measures  in  residual  value 
losses accurately.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses 
decreased by ¥415.1 billion, or 16.4%, to ¥2,119.6 
billion during fiscal 2010 compared with the prior 
fiscal  year.  This  decrease  mainly  reflects  the 
¥173.8 billion decrease for the financial services 
operations  and  the  ¥84.9  billion  decrease  of 
marketing expense. The decrease in the financial 
services operations is primarily due to the ¥140.0 
billion decrease in provision for credit losses and 
net charge-offs, which is attributable to the 0.46% 
rise in the ratio of credit losses as a result of the 
economic downturn mainly in the United States in 
the  prior  fiscal  year,  partially  offset  by  the  ¥37.3 
billion  impact  from  the  recalls  and  other  safety 
measures. The decrease in marketing expense is 
attributable  to  reduced  marketing  costs  realized 
as a result of the profit improvement initiatives.

Toyota’s  operating  income  increased  by  ¥608.5 
billion  to  an  operating  income  of  ¥147.5  billion 
during fiscal 2010 compared with the prior year. 
This operating income was favorably impacted by 
the effects of a ¥799.7 billion cost reduction efforts, 
decrease in fixed costs and other efforts, the ¥178.7 
billion  decrease  in  research  and  development 
expenses, and the ¥23.7 billion increase in parts 
sales, partially offset by the ¥380.0 billion decrease 
in vehicle unit sales and the changes in sales mix. 
The  effect  of  cost  reduction  efforts,  decrease  in 
fixed costs and other efforts was favorably impacted 
by the ¥520.0 billion effect of cost reduction efforts, 
the ¥291.3 billion decrease in fixed costs and other 
efforts  excluding  decrease  in  research  and 
development  expenses  and  the  ¥270.0  billion 
increase  in  operating  income  in  the  financial 
services  business,  partially  offset  by  the  ¥320.0 
billion effects of changes in exchange rates. The 
cost  reduction  efforts,  decrease  in  fixed  costs 
and other efforts were also partially offset by the 
¥105.7  billion  increase  in  costs  resulting  from  a 
change in the estimation model of expenses related 
to future recalls and other safety measures.

During fiscal 2010, operating income (before 
the elimination of intersegment profits), increased 
by ¥475.6 billion in North America, increased by 
¥27.5 billion, or 15.6%, in Asia, and increased by 
¥27.9  billion,  or  31.9%,  in  Other  compared  with 
the prior fiscal year. During fiscal 2010, operating

The  increase  in  operating  income  in  North 
America  was  due  mainly  to  the  ¥270.0  billion 
increase  in  operating  income  in  the  financial 
services  operations  including  the  ¥150.0  billion 
decrease in the provision for credit losses and net 
charge-offs and the ¥50.0 billion decrease in the 
provision for residual value losses of sales finance 
subsidiaries in the United States, the ¥130.0 billion 
decrease in fixed costs, the ¥50.0 billion impact 
of cost reduction efforts, and other efforts, partially 
offset by the ¥40.0 billion impact of decreases in 
both  production  volume  and  vehicle  unit  sales 
and  the  ¥4.1  billion  impact  of  the  fluctuations  in 
foreign currency translation rates. The decreases 
in both production volume and vehicle unit sales 
in North America are attributable to the substantial 
decline  in  vehicle  unit  sales  by  453  thousand 
vehicles  of  commercial  vehicles  and  passenger 
vehicles due to the downturn in the market in the 
first half of fiscal 2010.

The  decrease  in  operating  loss  in  Europe  was 
mainly due to the ¥110.0 billion decrease in fixed 
costs and the ¥10.0 billion impact of cost reduction 
efforts  in  the  automotive  operations,  the  ¥10.0 
billion increase in operating income in the financial 
services  business,  the  ¥4.9  billion  impact  of 
fluctuations  in  foreign  currency  translation  rates, 
and  other  efforts,  partially  offset  by  the  ¥60.0 
billion  decrease  of  both  production  volume  and 
vehicle  unit  sales.  The  decreases 
in  both 
production  volume  and  vehicle  unit  sales  in 
Europe was attributable to the decline in vehicle 
unit sales by 204 thousand vehicles in the overall 
European  market  compared  to  the  prior  fiscal 
year despite sales growth in some of the countries 
that  benefited 
from  government  stimulus 
packages.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest and dividend income decreased by ¥60.2 
billion, or 43.5%, to ¥78.2 billion during fiscal 2010 
compared with the prior fiscal year mainly due to 
the  ¥45.2  billion  decrease  in  interest  income 
reflecting decreases in market interest rates.

Interest expense decreased by ¥13.5 billion, 
or  28.7%,  to  ¥33.4  billion  during  fiscal  2010 
compared with the prior fiscal year.

Foreign  exchange  gains,  net  increased  by 
¥70.0  billion  to  ¥68.2  billion  during  fiscal  2010 

compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year.  Foreign 
exchange gains and losses include the differences 
between the value of foreign currency denominated 
sales translated at prevailing exchange rates and 
the value of the sales amounts settled during the 
year, including those settled using forward foreign 
currency exchange contracts. During fiscal 2010, 
the  currencies  of  various  countries  strengthened 
against the U.S. dollar rapidly. In such a situation, 
Toyota  records  foreign  exchange  transaction 
gains from accounts payable and long term U.S. 
dollar  denominated  debt  of  subsidiaries.  A  main 
factor contributing to the significantly greater level 
of  impact  of  foreign  exchange  on  fiscal  2010 
results  is  that  Toyota’s  Canadian  subsidiaries 
recorded  a  ¥50.0  billion  foreign  exchange  gain 
from  long  term  debt  payables  in  U.S.  dollar  to 
Toyota compared with the prior fiscal year, as the 
Canadian  dollar  strengthened  against  the  U.S. 
dollar rapidly during fiscal 2010.
  Other income, net increased by ¥220.0 billion 
to ¥30.9 billion during fiscal 2010 compared with 
the prior fiscal year. This increase was mainly due 
to  the  recognition  of  ¥139.6  billion  impairment 
losses  on  certain  available-for-sale  securities  in 
the prior fiscal year.

Income Taxes

The  provision  for  income  taxes  increased  by 
¥149.1  billion  to  ¥92.6  billion  during  fiscal  2010 
compared with the prior year primarily due to the 
increase  in  income  before  income  taxes.  The 
effective  tax  rate  was  31.8%,  which  was  lower 
than  the  statutory  tax  rate  in  Japan.  This  was 
primarily  due  to  the  ¥741.4  billion  increase  in 
income  before 
taxes  of  overseas 
subsidiaries whose statutory tax rates were lower 
than the statutory tax rate in Japan.

Other Comprehensive Income and Loss

income 

Other  comprehensive 
increased  by 
¥1,127.4  billion  to  ¥260.9  billion  for  fiscal  2010

resulted  primarily  from  unrealized  holding  gains 
on  securities  in  fiscal  2010  of  ¥176.4  billion 
compared with losses of ¥293.1 billion in the prior 
fiscal  year,  and  from  favorable  foreign  currency 
translation  adjustments  of  ¥9.8  billion  in  fiscal 
2010 compared with losses of ¥381.3 billion in the 
prior  fiscal  year.  The  increase  in  unrealized 
holding gains on securities was mainly due to the 
recognition of ¥139.6 billion impairment losses on 
certain  available-for-sale  securities  in  the  prior 
fiscal year.

Net Income and Loss attributable to the 
Noncontrolling Interest and Equity in 
Earnings of Affiliated Companies

Net  income  attributable  to  the  noncontrolling 
interest increased by ¥59.0 billion to ¥34.8 billion 
during fiscal 2010 compared with the prior year. 
This  increase  was  mainly  due  to  an  increase  in 
net  income  attributable  to  the  shareholders  of 
consolidated subsidiaries.

Equity  in  earnings  of  affiliated  companies 
during  fiscal  2010  increased  by  ¥2.7  billion,  or 
6.3%,  to  ¥45.4  billion  compared  with  the  prior

in net income attributable to the shareholders of 
affiliated companies.

Automotive Operations Segment

The  automotive  operations  segment  is  Toyota’s 
largest  operating  segment  by  net  revenues.  Net 
revenues  for  the  automotive  segment  decreased 
during  fiscal  2010  by  ¥1,367.3  billion,  or  7.4%, 
compared  with  the  prior  year  to  ¥17,197.4  billion. 
The decrease was primarily due to fluctuations in 
foreign currency translation rates of ¥886.5 billion 
and decreased vehicle unit sales and the changes 
in sales mix of approximately ¥570.0 billion, partially 
offset by increased parts sales of ¥34.9 billion.
  Operating loss from the automotive operations 
decreased  by  ¥308.5  billion  during  fiscal  2010 
compared with the prior year to an operating loss 
of  ¥86.3  billion.  This  decrease  in  operating  loss 
was primarily due to the ¥520.0 billion impact of 
cost reduction efforts, the ¥470.0 billion decrease 
in fixed costs, the ¥23.7 billion impact of increase 
in parts sales, and other efforts, partially offset by 
a ¥380.0 billion decrease in vehicle unit sales and
changes in sales mix and the ¥320.0 billion effects 
of changes in exchange rates.

The  decrease  in  vehicle  unit  sales  and 
changes  in  sales  mix  was  due  primarily  to  a 
decrease  in  vehicle  unit  sales  by  330  thousand 
vehicles which resulted from the generally difficult 
market  conditions  in  the  automotive  industry 
during fiscal 2010 compared with the prior fiscal 
year. The decrease in fixed costs was due mainly 
to  the  ¥178.7  billion  decline  in  research  and 
development  expenses  and  the  ¥62.7  billion 
decline  in  labor  costs,  as  a  result  of  profit 
improvement initiatives, partially offset by ¥105.7 
billion increase in costs resulting from a change in 
the estimation model of expenses related to future 
recalls and other safety measures.

Financial Services Operations Segment

Net revenues for the financial services operations 
decreased during fiscal 2010 by ¥132.1 billion, or 

9.6%,  compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year  to 
¥1,245.4 billion. This decrease was primarily due 
to the unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign 
currency translation rates of ¥93.3 billion. Excluding 
the difference in the Japanese yen value used for 
translation purposes, net revenues for its financial 
services operations would have been approximately 
¥1,338.7 billion during fiscal 2010, a 2.8% decrease 
compared with the prior fiscal year. The decrease 
in  net  revenues  excluding  the  difference  in  the 
Japanese yen value used for translation purposes 
of  ¥93.3  billion  resulted  primarily 
the 
¥63.5  billion  decrease  in  rental  income  from 
vehicles and equipment on operating leases.
  Operating  income  from  financial  services 
operations increased by ¥318.9 billion to ¥246.9 
billion during fiscal 2010 compared with the prior 
year. This increase was primarily due to the ¥140.0 
billion decrease in provision for credit losses, net 
charge-offs, the ¥64.5 billion of the recognition of 
valuation  gains  on  interest  rate  swaps  stated  at 
fair  value,  and  the  ¥50.0  billion  decrease  in 
provision for residual value losses.

from 

The  decrease  in  provision  for  credit  losses, 
net  charge-offs  is  primarily  attributable  to  the 
¥150.0  billion  increase  in  provision  for  credit 
losses  and  net  charge-offs  in  the  United  States 
primarily due to the 0.46% rise in the ratio of credit 
losses  as  a  result  of  the  economic  downturn  in 
the  prior  fiscal  year,  partially  offset  by  the  ¥37.3 
billion  impact  from  the  recalls  and  other  safety 
measures. The decrease in provision for residual 
value  losses  is  primarily  attributable  to  the 
recovery  in  the  used  vehicle  market,  partially 
offset  by  the  impact  from  the  recalls  and  other 
safety measures. Toyota judges this impact does 
not have a material impact on Toyota’s consolidated 
financial statements though it is difficult to quantify 
the  impact  from  the  recalls  and  other  safety 
measures in residual value losses accurately.

The  decrease  in  residual  value  losses  is 
primarily attributable to the recovery in the used 
vehicle market, as prices of used vehicles moved 
from  a  historical  low  in  fiscal  2009  to  an 

unprecedented high in fiscal 2010, partially offset 
by the impact of increased sales incentives and 
other factors.

billion during fiscal 2010 compared with the prior year.
  Operating income from Toyota’s other operations segment decreased by ¥18.8 billion, to operating 
loss of ¥8.9 billion during fiscal 2010 compared with the prior year.

Outlook

While  Toyota  expects  that  emerging  countries, 
such as China and India, will continue to experi-
ence  economic  growth,  and  that  developed 
countries, including those in North America and 
Europe,  will  continue  to  see  gradual  economic 
recovery in fiscal 2012, Toyota believes the impact 
and  risks  arising  from  increases  in  the  price  of 
crude  oil,  continuing  high  unemployment  rate  in 
North  America  and  Europe,  and  other  factors 
must  be  closely  observed.  Although  Toyota 
expects  the  automotive  market  to  expand  over 
the medium- to long-term particularly in emerging 
countries, the global competition in the automo-
tive market has intensified, as shown in the small 
and  low-price  vehicles  markets  and  in  the 
environmentally-friendly  vehicles  market.  For 

purposes  of  this  outlook  discussion,  Toyota  is 
assuming an average exchange rate of ¥82 to the 
U.S. dollar and ¥115 to the euro. With the foregoing 
external factors in mind, Toyota expects that net 
revenues for fiscal 2012 will decrease compared 
with fiscal 2011 as a result of a decrease in vehicle 
unit  sales  and  the  assumed  exchange  rate  of  a 
stronger Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar in 
fiscal  2012  compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year.

vehicle  unit  sales,  which  exceed  the  factors 
increasing operating income. As a result, Toyota 
expects  that  operating  income  will  decrease  in 
fiscal  2012  compared  with  fiscal  2011.  Also, 
Toyota expects income before income taxes and 
equity in earnings of affiliated companies and net 
income  attributable  to  Toyota  Motor  Corporation 
will  decrease  in  fiscal  2012.  Exchange  rate 
fluctuations  can  materially  affect  Toyota’s 
operating results. In particular, a strengthening of 
the  Japanese  yen  against  the  U.S.  dollar  can 
have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  Toyota’s 
operating  results.  See  “Operating  and  Financial 
Review  and  Prospects  —  Operating  Results  — 
Overview  —  Currency  Fluctuations”  for  further 

discussion. See “Information on the Company — 
Business  Overview” 
for  a  more  detailed 
information of the Great East Japan Earthquake.

The foregoing statements are forward-looking 
statements  based  upon  Toyota’s  management’s 
assumptions  and  beliefs  regarding  exchange 
rates,  market  demand  for  Toyota’s  products, 
economic conditions and others. See “Cautionary 
Statement 
Forward-Looking 
Statements”. Toyota’s actual results of operations 
could  vary  significantly  from  those  described 
above as a result of unanticipated changes in the 
factors described above or other factors, including 
those described in “Risk Factors”.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, Toyota has funded its capital expendi-
tures  and  research  and  development  activities 
through cash generated by operations.

In  fiscal  2012,  Toyota  expects  to  sufficiently 
fund  its  capital  expenditures  and  research  and 
development  activities  through  cash  and  cash 
equivalents  on  hand,  and  cash  generated  by 
operations.  Toyota  will  use  its  funds  for  the 
development  of  environment 
technologies, 
maintenance  and  replacement  of  manufacturing 
facilities,  and  the  introduction  of  new  products. 
See  “Information  on  the  Company  —  Business 
Overview  —  Capital  Expenditures  and  Divesti-
tures” for information regarding Toyota’s material 
capital  expenditures  and  divestitures  for  fiscal 
2009, 2010 and 2011, and information concerning 
Toyota’s  principal  capital  expenditures  and 
divestitures currently in progress.

Toyota  funds  its  financing  programs  for 
customers  and  dealers,  including  loans  and 

leasing programs, from both cash generated by 
operations  and  borrowings  by  its  sales  finance 
subsidiaries. Toyota seeks to expand its ability to 
raise funds locally in markets throughout the world 
by expanding its network of finance subsidiaries.
Repurchasing  of  its  own  shares  occurred  at 
an approximate total cost of ¥73 billion for fiscal 
2009.  Toyota  refrained  from  repurchasing  of  its 
own shares for fiscal 2010 and 2011. Toyota has 
decided,  for  the  time  being,  to  refrain  from 
repurchasing its own shares, in order to prioritize 
retention  of  cash  reserves  given  the  continued 
uncertainties surrounding future global economy.
Net cash provided by operating activities was 
¥2,024.0  billion  for  fiscal  2011,  compared  with 
¥2,558.5  billion  for  the  prior  fiscal  year.  The 
decrease  in  net  cash  provided  by  operating 
activities  resulted  from  an  increase  in  cash 
payment to suppliers attributable to the increase 
in  cost  of  products  sold  in  the  automotive 

operations, and cash payments for income taxes, 
partially  offset  by  an  increase  in  cash  collection 
received from sale of products due to an increase 
in net revenue for the automotive operations.

Net  cash  used  in  investing  activities  was 
¥2,116.3  billion  for  fiscal  2011,  compared  with 
¥2,850.1  billion  for  the  prior  fiscal  year.  The 
decrease in net cash used in investing activities 
resulted from an increase in sales and maturity of 
marketable  securities  and  security  investments, 
partially  offset  by  an  increase  in  purchases  of 
marketable securities and security investments.

Net  cash  provided  by  or  used  in  financing 
activities  was  a  ¥434.3  billion  increase  for  fiscal 
2011, compared with ¥277.9 billion decrease for 
the  prior  fiscal  year.  The  increase  in  net  cash 
provided by financing activities resulted from an 
increase in short-term borrowings and decrease 
in repayment of long-term debt.

Total capital expenditures for property, plant 
and equipment, excluding vehicles and equipment 
on  operating  leases,  were  ¥629.3  billion  during 

fiscal 2011, an increase of 4.1% over the ¥604.5 
billion in total capital expenditures during the prior 
fiscal  year.  The  increase  in  capital  expenditures 
resulted from an increase of investments in North 
America and Asia.

Total  capital  expenditures  for  vehicles  and 
equipment  on  operating  leases  were  ¥1,061.8 
billion  during  fiscal  2011,  an  increase  of  27.5% 
over  the  ¥833.0  billion  in  expenditures  from  the 
prior fiscal year. The increase in expenditures for 
vehicles  and  equipment  on  operating  leases 
resulted  from  an  increase  in  investments  in  the 
financial services operations.

Toyota expects investments in property, plant 
and equipment, excluding vehicles and equipment 
on operating leases, to be approximately ¥720.0 
billion during fiscal 2012.

Based on current available information, Toyota 
does not expect environmental matters to have a 
material impact on its financial position, results of 
operations,  liquidity  or  cash  flows  during  fiscal 
2012.  However,  there  exists  uncertainty  with

mental and Safety Standards”.

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  were  ¥2,080.7 
billion as of March 31, 2011. Most of Toyota’s cash 
and  cash  equivalents  are  held  in  Japanese  yen 
and  in  U.S.  dollars.  In  addition,  time  deposits 
were  ¥203.9  billion  and  marketable  securities 
were ¥1,225.4 billion as of March 31, 2011.

Liquid assets, which Toyota defines as cash 
and cash equivalents, time deposits, marketable 
debt  securities  and  its  investment  in  monetary 
trust  funds,  increased  during  fiscal  2011  by 
¥665.0 billion, or 12.6%, to ¥5,963.2 billion.

Trade  accounts  and  notes  receivable,  less 
allowance 
for  doubtful  accounts  decreased 
during fiscal 2011 by ¥437.0 billion, or 23.2%, to 
¥1,449.2  billion.  This  decrease  was  due  to  the 
decrease  in  the  volume  of  sales  in  the  second 
half of fiscal 2011.

  Marketable  securities  and  other  securities 
investments,  including  those  included  in  current 
assets,  increased  during  fiscal  2011  by  ¥747.1 
billion, or 18.5%, reflecting purchase of marketable 
securities  and  security  investments,  and  an 
increase in the fair values of common stocks.

Property,  plant  and  equipment  decreased 
during  fiscal  2011  by  ¥401.8  billion,  or  6.0%, 
primarily  reflecting  the  impacts  of  depreciation 
charges during the year and fluctuations in foreign 
currency  translation  rates,  partially  offset  by  the 
capital expenditures.

Accounts  and  notes  payable  decreased 
during fiscal 2011 by ¥453.4 billion, or 23.2%. This 
decrease was due to the decrease in production 
volume in the second half of fiscal 2011.

Accrued  expenses  increased  during  fiscal 
2011  by  ¥37.4  billion,  or  2.1%,  reflecting  the 
increase  in  expenses  related  to  the  recalls  and 
other safety measures.

Income  taxes  payable  decreased  during 
fiscal 2011 by ¥40.6 billion, or 26.5%, as a result 
of a decrease of income taxes payable at overseas 
subsidiaries.

Toyota’s  total  borrowings  decreased  during 
fiscal  2011  by  ¥112.4  billion,  or  0.9%.  Toyota’s 
short-term  borrowings  consist  of  loans  with  a 
weighted-average  interest  rate  of  1.57%  and 
commercial  paper  with  a  weighted-average 
interest  rate  of  0.67%.  Short-term  borrowings 
decreased during fiscal 2011 by ¥100.6 billion, or 
3.1%,  to  ¥3,179.0  billion.  Toyota’s  long-term  debt 
consists  of  unsecured  and  secured 
loans, 
medium-term  notes,  unsecured  notes  and 
long-term  capital  lease  obligations  with  interest 
rates ranging from 0.00% to 29.00%, and maturity 
dates  ranging  from  2011  to  2050.  The  current 
portion of long-term debt increased during fiscal 
2011 by ¥554.5 billion, or 25.0%, to ¥2,772.8 billion 
and the non-current portion decreased by ¥566.2 
billion, or 8.1%, to ¥6,449.2 billion. The decrease 
in total borrowings resulted from the decrease in 
medium-term  notes  and  short-term  borrowings, 
partially offset by increase in long-term borrowings. 
As  of  March  31,  2011,  approximately  31%  of 
long-term  debt  was  denominated  in  Japanese 
yen,  24%  in  U.S.  dollars,  12%  in  the  euros  and 
33%  in  other  currencies.  Toyota  hedges  interest 
rate  risk  exposure  of  fixed-rate  borrowings  by 
entering  into  interest  rate  swaps.  There  are  no 
material seasonal variations in Toyota’s borrowings 
requirements.

As  of  March  31,  2011,  Toyota’s  total  interest 
bearing  debt  was  120.0%  of  Toyota  Motor 
Corporation shareholders’ equity, compared with 
120.8% as of March 31, 2010.

to  adhere 

Toyota’s treasury policy is to maintain controls 
on  all  exposures, 
to  stringent 
counterparty  credit  standards,  and  to  actively 
monitor  marketplace  exposures.  Toyota  remains 
centralized, and is pursuing global efficiency of its 
financial  services  operations 
through  Toyota 
Financial Services Corporation.

The key element of Toyota’s financial strategy 
is maintaining a strong financial position that will 
allow Toyota to fund its research and development 
initiatives,  capital  expenditures  and  financial 
services  operations  efficiently  even  if  earnings 
experience  short-term  fluctuations.  Toyota 
believes that it maintains sufficient liquidity for its 
present requirements and that by maintaining its

access  funds  from  external  sources  in  large 
amounts  and  at  relatively  low  costs.  Toyota’s 
ability to maintain its high credit ratings is subject 
to  a  number  of  factors,  some  of  which  are  not 
within  Toyota’s  control.  These  factors  include 

general  economic  conditions  in  Japan  and  the 
other  major  markets  in  which  Toyota  does 
business,  as  well  as  Toyota’s  successful 
implementation of its business strategy.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

Toyota uses its securitization program as part of 
its funding through special purpose entities for its 
financial  services  operations.  Toyota  is  consid-
ered  the  primary  beneficiary  of  these  special 

purpose entities and therefore consolidates them. 
Toyota has not entered into any off-balance sheet 
securitization transactions during fiscal 2011.

Lending Commitments

Credit Facilities with Credit Card Holders

Toyota’s financial services operations issue credit 
cards to customers. As customary for credit card
businesses, Toyota maintains credit facilities with 
holders  of  credit  cards  issued  by  Toyota.  These 
facilities are used upon each holder’s requests up 
to the limits established on an individual holder’s 
basis. Although loans made to customers through 
these facilities are not secured, for the purposes 
of  minimizing  credit  risks  and  of  appropriately 
establishing credit limits for each individual credit 
card holder, Toyota employs its own risk manage-
includes  an  analysis  of 
ment  policy  which 
information  provided  by  financial  institutions  in 
alliance  with  Toyota.  Toyota  periodically  reviews 
and  revises,  as  appropriate,  these  credit  limits. 
Outstanding  credit  facilities  with  credit  card 
holders were ¥261.7 billion as of March 31, 2011.

Credit Facilities with Dealers

Toyota’s  financial  services  operations  maintain 
credit  facilities  with  dealers.  These  credit  facilities 

may  be  used  for  business  acquisitions,  facilities 
refurbishment, real estate purchases, and working 
capital  requirements.  These  loans  are  typically 
collateralized  with  liens  on  real  estate,  vehicle 
inventory,  and/or  other  dealership  assets,  as 
appropriate.  Toyota  obtains  a  personal  guarantee 
from  the  dealer  or  corporate  guarantee  from  the 
dealership  when  deemed  prudent.  Although  the 
loans are typically collateralized or guaranteed, the 
value  of  the  underlying  collateral  or  guarantees 
may  not  be  sufficient  to  cover  Toyota’s  exposure 
under  such  agreements.  Toyota  prices  the  credit 
facilities according to the risks assumed in entering 
into  the  credit  facility.  Toyota’s  financial  services 
operations  also  provide  financing 
to  various 
multi-franchise dealer organizations, referred to as 
dealer groups, often as part of a lending consortium, 
for  wholesale 
inventory  financing,  business 
acquisitions,  facilities  refurbishment,  real  estate 
purchases,  and  working  capital  requirements. 
Toyota’s  outstanding  credit  facilities  with  dealers 
totaled ¥1,590.6 billion as of March 31, 2011.

Guarantees

Toyota  enters  into  certain  guarantee  contracts 
with its dealers to guarantee customers’ payments 
of  their  installment  payables  that  arise  from 
installment  contracts  between  customers  and 
Toyota dealers, as and when requested by Toyota 
dealers. Guarantee periods are set to match the 
maturity of installment payments, and as of March 
31,  2011,  ranged  from  one  month  to  35  years. 
However,  they  are  generally  shorter  than  the 

useful lives of products sold. Toyota is required to 
execute  its  guarantee  primarily  when  customers 
are unable to make required payments.

The  maximum  potential  amount  of  future 
payments as of March 31, 2011 is ¥1,662.2 billion. 
Liabilities  for  these  guarantees  of  ¥20.4  billion 
have been provided as of March 31, 2011. Under 
these  guarantee  contracts,  Toyota  is  entitled  to 
recover any amounts paid by it from the customers 
whose obligations it guaranteed.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

For information regarding debt obligations, capital 
lease obligations, operating lease obligations and 
other obligations, including amounts maturing in 
each of the next five years, see notes 13, 22 and 23 
to the consolidated financial statements. In addition, 
as  part  of  Toyota’s  normal  business  practices, 
Toyota  enters  into  long-term  arrangements  with 

suppliers for purchases of certain raw materials, 
components  and  services.  These  arrangements 
may  contain  fixed/minimum  quantity  purchase 
requirements.  Toyota  enters  into  such  arrange-
ments  to  facilitate  an  adequate  supply  of  these 
materials and services.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements in the United States

the  Financial  Accounting 
In  October  2009, 
Standards  Board 
issued  updated 
(“FASB”) 
guidance  of  accounting  for  and  disclosure  of 
Revenue  Recognition  with  Multiple  Deliverables. 
This guidance allows the use of estimated selling 
price for determining the selling price of deliver-
ables, eliminates the residual method of allocation 
and expands the disclosures related to a vendor’s 
multiple-deliverable  revenue  arrangements.  This 
guidance  is  effective  prospectively  for  revenue 
arrangements entered into or materially modified 
in fiscal year beginning on or after June 15, 2010. 
Management  does  not  expect  this  guidance  to 
have a material impact on Toyota’s consolidated 
financial statements.

In April 2011, FASB issued updated guidance 
to clarify the accounting for and disclosures about 
troubled  debt  restructurings  by  creditors.  This 
guidance  provides  the  criteria  as  to  whether  a 
loan  modification  constitutes  a  troubled  debt 
restructuring and requires additional disclosures 
about troubled debt restructurings. This guidance 
is effective for the interim period or the fiscal year 
beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and shall be 
applied  retrospectively  to  the  beginning  of  the 
fiscal  year  of  adoption.  Management  does  not 
expect this guidance to have a material impact on 
Toyota’s consolidated financial statements.

Toyota  does  not  have  any  significant  related  party  transactions  other  than  transactions  with  affiliated 
companies in the ordinary course of business. See note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for 
further discussion.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Legislation Regarding End-of-Life Vehicles

In October 2000, the European Union enforced a 
directive that requires member states to promul-
gate regulations implementing the following:

• manufacturers shall bear all or a significant 
part of the costs for taking back end-of-life 
vehicles put on the market after July 1, 2002 
and dismantling and recycling those vehicles. 
Beginning January 1, 2007, this requirement 
will also be applicable to vehicles put on the 
market before July 1, 2002;

• manufacturers  may  not  use  certain 
hazardous  materials  in  vehicles  sold  after 
July 2003;

• vehicles  type-approved  and  put  on  the 

market  after  December  15,  2008  shall  be 
re-usable and/or recyclable to a minimum 
of 85% by weight per vehicle and shall be 
re-usable and/or recoverable to a minimum 
of 95% by weight per vehicle; and

• end-of-life vehicles must meet actual re-use 
of 80% and re-use as material or energy of 
85%,  respectively,  of  vehicle  weight  by 
2006, rising to 85% and 95%, respectively, 
by 2015.

Product Warranties and Recalls and 
Other Safety Measures

Toyota  generally  warrants  its  products  against 
certain manufacturing and other defects. Provisions 

for  product  warranties  are  provided  for  specific 
periods of time and/or usage of the product and 
vary depending upon the nature of the product, 
the  geographic  location  of  the  sale  and  other 
factors. All product warranties are consistent with 
commercial practices. Toyota includes a provision 
for  estimated  product  warranty  costs  as  a 
component of cost of sales at the time the related 
sale  is  recognized.  The  accrued  warranty  costs 
represent  management’s  best  estimate  at  the 
time of sale of the total costs that Toyota will incur 
to  repair  or  replace  product  parts  that  fail  while 
still  under  warranty.  The  amount  of  accrued 
estimated  warranty  costs  is  primarily  based  on 
historical experience of product failures as well as 
current information on repair costs. The amount of 
warranty costs accrued also contains an estimate 
of warranty claim recoveries to be received from

suppliers. The foregoing evaluations are inherently 
uncertain, as they require material estimates and 
some  products’  warranties  extend  for  several 
years.  Consequently,  actual  warranty  costs  may 
differ  from  the  estimated  amounts  and  could 
require  additional  warranty  provisions.  If  these 
factors  require  a  significant  increase  in  Toyota’s 
accrued  estimated  warranty  costs,  it  would 
negatively  affect  future  operating  results  of  the 
automotive operations.

An  estimate  of  warranty  claim  accrued  for 
each  fiscal  year  is  calculated  based  on  the 
estimate of warranty claim per unit. The estimate 
of warranty claim per unit is calculated by dividing 
the actual amounts of warranty claim, net of claim 
recovery  cost  received  from  suppliers,  by  the 
number of sales units for the fiscal year.

As  the  historical  recovery  amounts  received 
from  suppliers  is  used  as  a  factor  in  Toyota’s 
calculation  of  estimated  accrued  warranty  cost, 
the estimated accrued warranty cost may change 
depending  on  the  average  recovery  amounts 
received  from  suppliers  in  the  past.  However, 
Toyota  believes  that  there  is  not  a  significant 
uncertainty  of  estimated  amounts  based  on 
historical  experience 
recoveries 
regarding 
received 
from  suppliers.  Toyota  may  seek 
recovery to suppliers over the life of the warranty, 
and  there  are  no  other  significant  special  terms 
and  conditions  including  cap  on  amounts  that 
can be recovered.

Toyota accrues for costs of recalls and other 
safety measures, as well as product warranty cost 
described  above,  included  as  a  component  of 
cost of sales, at the time of vehicle sale based on 
the amount estimated from historical experience 
with  consideration  of  individual  occurrences  of 
recalls and other safety measures.

Below  are  the  important  factors,  judgments 
and assumptions taken into accounts for estimating 

costs of recalls and other safety measures.

Toyota  accrues  for  cost  of  recalls  and  other 
safety  measures  based  on  the  average  repair 
cost per unit and pattern of payment occurrence 
in the past at the time of product sale. The average 
repair cost per unit is calculated based on histor-
ical  expenses  incurred  in  relation  of  recalls  and 
other safety measures.

Factors that may bring material uncertainties 
to  the  estimated  or  actual  amount  include  the 
important changes in the average repair cost for 
products.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and 
Credit Losses

Natures of estimates and assumptions

Retail receivables and finance lease receivables 
consist  of  retail 
installment  sales  contracts 
secured  by  passenger  cars  and  commercial 
vehicles.  Collectability  risks  include  consumer 
and dealer insolvencies and insufficient collateral 
values (less costs to sell) to realize the full carrying 
values of these receivables. As a matter of policy, 
Toyota  maintains  an  allowance 
for  doubtful 
accounts and credit losses representing manage-
ment’s estimate of the amount of asset impairment 
in the portfolios of finance, trade and other receiv-
for 
ables.  Toyota  determines 
doubtful accounts and credit losses based on a 
systematic,  ongoing 
review  and  evaluation 
performed  as  part  of  the  credit-risk  evaluation 
process, historical loss experience, the size and 
composition  of  the  portfolios,  current  economic 
events  and  conditions,  the  estimated  fair  value 
and  adequacy  of  collateral,  and  other  pertinent 
factors.  This  evaluation  is  inherently  judgmental 
and  requires  material  estimates,  including  the 
amounts and timing of future cash flows expected 
to  be  received,  which  may  be  susceptible  to 
significant  change.  Although  management 

the  allowance 

currently 

available, 

considers  the  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts 
and  credit  losses  to  be  adequate  based  on 
additional 
information 
provisions may be necessary due to (i) changes 
in management estimates and assumptions about 
asset  impairments,  (ii)  information  that  indicates 
changes  in  expected  future  cash  flows,  or  (iii) 
changes  in  economic  and  other  events  and 
conditions.  To  the  extent  that  sales  incentives 
remain an integral part of sales promotion with the 
effect  of  reducing  new  vehicle  prices,  resale 
prices of used vehicles and, correspondingly, the 
collateral value of Toyota’s retail receivables and 
finance 
lease  receivables  could  experience 
further  downward  pressure.  If  these  factors 
require a significant increase in Toyota’s allowance 
for doubtful accounts and credit losses, it could 
negatively  affect  future  operating  results  of  the 
financial  services  operations.  The  level  of  credit 
losses,  which  has  a  greater  impact  on  Toyota’s 
results of operations, is influenced by two factors: 
frequency  of  occurrence  and  expected  severity 
of  loss.  For  evaluation  purposes,  exposures  to 
credit losses are segmented into the two primary 
categories  of  “consumer”  and  “dealer”.  Toyota’s 
“consumer” category consists of smaller balances 
that  are  homogenous  retail  receivables  and 
finance lease receivables. The “dealer” category 
consists  of  wholesale  and  other  dealer  loan 
receivables.  The  overall  allowance  for  credit 
losses is evaluated at least quarterly, considering 
a variety of assumptions and factors to determine 
whether  reserves  are  considered  adequate  to 
cover probable losses.

Sensitivity analysis

The level of credit losses, which could significantly 
impact Toyota’s results of operations, is influenced 
by  two  factors:  frequency  of  occurrence  and 
expected  severity  of  loss.  The  overall  allowance 

for  credit  losses  is  evaluated  at  least  quarterly, 
considering a variety of assumptions and factors 
to  determine  whether  reserves  are  considered 
adequate to cover probable losses. The following 
table illustrates the effect of an assumed change 
in frequency of occurrence or expected severity 
of loss mainly in the United States, assuming all 
other  assumptions  are  held  consistent  respec-
tively. The table below represents the impact on 
the allowance for credit losses in Toyota’s financial 
services operations of the change in frequency of

change impacts most significantly on the financial 
services operations.

Investment in Operating Leases
Natures of estimates and assumptions

Vehicles on operating leases, where Toyota is the 
lessor,  are  valued  at  cost  and  depreciated  over 
their estimated useful lives using the straight-line 
method to their estimated residual values. Toyota 
utilizes industry published information and its own 
historical  experience  to  determine  estimated 
these  vehicles.  Toyota 
residual  values 
evaluates the recoverability of the carrying values 
of its leased vehicles for impairment when there 
are indications of declines in residual values, and 
if  impaired,  Toyota  recognizes  an  allowance  for 
losses on its residual values.

for 

Throughout the life of the lease, management 
performs periodic evaluations of estimated end-of-
term  fair  values  to  determine  whether  estimates 
used  in  the  determination  of  the  contractual

residual  value  are  still  considered  reasonable. 
Factors affecting the estimated residual value at 
lease maturity include, but are not limited to, new 
vehicle incentive programs, new vehicle pricing, 
used  vehicle  supply,  projected  vehicle  return 
rates,  and  projected  loss  severity.  The  vehicle 
return  rate  represents  the  number  of  leased 
vehicles returned at contract maturity and sold by 
Toyota during the period as a percentage of the 
number of lease contracts that, as of their origina-
tion dates, were scheduled to mature in the same 
period.  A  higher  rate  of  vehicle  returns  exposes 
Toyota to higher potential losses incurred at lease 
termination. Severity of loss is the extent to which 
the end-of-term fair value of a lease is less than its 
carrying value at lease end.

To the extent that sales incentives remain an 
integral  part  of  sales  promotion,  resale  prices  of 
used vehicles and, correspondingly, the fair value 
of  Toyota’s  leased  vehicles  could  be  subject  to 
downward pressure. The extent of the impact this 
will have on the end of term residual value depends 
on the significance of the incentive programs and 
whether  they  are  sustained  over  a  number  of 
periods. This in turn can impact the projection of 
future  used  vehicle  values,  adversely  impacting 
the  expected  residual  value  of  the  current 
operating  lease  portfolio  and  increasing  the 
provision  for  residual  value  losses.  However, 
various other factors impact used vehicle values 
and  the  projection  of  future  residual  values, 
including  the  supply  of  and  demand  for  used 
vehicles,  interest  rates,  inflation,  the  actual  or 
perceived quality, safety and reliability of vehicles, 
the general economic outlook, new vehicle pricing, 
projected vehicle return rates and projected loss 
severity, which may offset this effect. Such factors 
are  highly  likely  to  adversely  affect  the  results  of 
operations for financial services due to significant 
charges reducing the estimated residual value.

Sensitivity analysis

The  following  table  illustrates  the  effect  of  an 
assumed  change  in  the  vehicle  return  rate  and 
end-of-term market values, which Toyota believes 
are  the  critical  estimates,  in  determining  the 
residual  value  losses,  holding  all  other  assump-
tions constant. The following table represents the 
impact  on  the  residual  value  losses  in  Toyota’s 
financial  services  operations  of  the  change  in 
vehicle return rate and end-of-term market values 
as  those  changes  have  a  significant  impact  on 
financial services operations.

Pension Costs and Obligations

These  assumptions 
rates, 
benefits earned, interest costs, expected rate of 
return  on  plan  assets,  mortality  rates  and  other 
factors. Actual results that differ from the assump-
tions are accumulated and amortized over future 
periods and, therefore, generally affect recognized 
expense  in  future  periods.  While  management 
believes 
the  assumptions  used  are 
appropriate,  differences  in  actual  experience  or 
changes  in  assumptions  may  affect  Toyota’s 
pension costs and obligations.

that 

The two most critical assumptions impacting 
the  calculation  of  pension  costs  and  obligations 
are the discount rates and the expected rates of 
returns  on  plan  assets.  Toyota  determines  the 
discount rates mainly based on the rates of high 

quality  fixed  income  bonds  or  fixed  income 
governmental  bonds  currently  available  and 
expected  to  be  available  during  the  period  to 
maturity  of  the  defined  benefit  pension  plans. 
Toyota determines the expected rates of return for 
pension  assets  after  considering 
several 
applicable  factors  including,  the  composition  of 
plan assets held, assumed risks of asset manage-
ment,  historical  results  of  the  returns  on  plan 
assets,  Toyota’s  principal  policy  for  plan  asset 
management, and forecasted market conditions. 
A weighted-average discount rate of 2.8% and a 
weighted-average expected rate of return on plan 
assets  of  3.8%  are  the  results  of  assumptions 
used for the various pension plans in calculating 
Toyota’s  consolidated  pension  costs  for  fiscal 
2011.  Also,  a  weighted-average  discount  rate  of 
2.8%  is  the  result  of  assumption  used  for  the 
various  pension  plans  in  calculating  Toyota’s 
consolidated pension obligations for fiscal 2011.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Sensitivity analysis

Toyota periodically reviews the carrying value of 
its long-lived assets held and used and assets to 
be disposed of, including intangible assets, when 
events and circumstances warrant such a review. 
This review is performed using estimates of future 
cash  flows.  If  the  carrying  value  of  a  long-lived 
asset  is  considered  impaired,  an  impairment 
charge is recorded for the amount by which the 
carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its 
fair value. Management believes that the estimates 
of  future  cash  flows  and  fair  values  are  reason-
able.  However,  changes  in  estimates  of  such 
cash flows and fair values would affect the evalua-
tions and negatively affect future operating results 
of the automotive operations.

The following table illustrates the effects of assumed changes in weighted-average discount rates and 
the weighted-average expected rate of return on plan assets, which Toyota believes are critical estimates 
in determining pension costs and obligations, assuming all other assumptions are consistent.

Derivatives and Other Contracts at Fair Value
Toyota  uses  derivatives  in  the  normal  course  of 
business to manage its exposure to foreign currency 
exchange rates and interest rates. The accounting 

for derivatives is complex and continues to evolve. 
In  addition,  there  are  significant  judgments  and

estimates 

involved,  using

counterparties or market, in estimating fair value in 
the  absence  of  quoted  market  values.  These 
estimates are based upon valuation methodologies 
deemed  appropriate  under  the  circumstances. 
However, the use of different assumptions may have 
a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Marketable Securities and Investments in 
Affiliated Companies

Toyota’s  accounting  policy  is  to  record  a  write-
down of such investments to net realizable value 
when  a  decline  in  fair  value  below  the  carrying 
value is other-than-temporary. In determining if a 
decline  in  value  is  other-than-temporary,  Toyota 
considers  the  length  of  time  and  the  extent  to 
which the fair value has been less than the carrying 
value, the financial condition and prospects of the 

company and Toyota’s ability and intent to retain 
its investment in the company for a period of time 
sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in 
fair value. 

Deferred Tax Assets

Toyota estimates whether future taxable income is 
sufficient  at  a  particular  tax-paying  component 
and  records  valuation  allowances 
to  reduce 
deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not 
that a tax benefit will not be realized in the future 
periods. Actual taxable income may differ from the 
estimated  amounts  due  to  various  assumptions 
used to estimate future taxable income. If additional 
valuation allowance is recorded due to lower actual 
taxable  income  than  estimated  amounts  it  would 
negatively affect future operating results.

Market Risk Disclosures

Toyota is exposed to market risk from changes in 
foreign  currency  exchange  rates,  interest  rates, 
certain commodity and equity security prices. In 
order to manage the risk arising from changes in 
foreign  currency  exchange  rates  and  interest 
rates,  Toyota  enters  into  a  variety  of  derivative 
financial instruments.

A description of Toyota’s accounting policies 
for derivative instruments is included in note 2 to 
the consolidated financial statements and further 
disclosure is provided in notes 20 and 21 to the 
consolidated financial statements.

Toyota monitors and manages these financial 
exposures  as  an  integral  part  of  its  overall  risk 
management  program,  which  recognizes  the 
unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to 
reduce the potentially adverse effects on Toyota’s 
operating results.

The  financial  instruments  included  in  the 

receivables,  securities 

market risk analysis consist of all of Toyota’s cash 
and  cash  equivalents,  marketable  securities, 
finance 
investments, 
long-term and short-term debt and all derivative 
financial instruments. Toyota’s portfolio of deriva-
tive  financial  instruments  consists  of  forward 
foreign  currency  exchange  contracts,  foreign 
currency options, interest rate swaps, interest rate 
currency  swap  agreements  and  interest  rate 
options. Anticipated transactions denominated in 
foreign  currencies  that  are  covered  by  Toyota’s 
derivative hedging are not included in the market 
risk  analysis.  Although  operating  leases  are  not 
required  to  be  included,  Toyota  has  included 
these instruments in determining interest rate risk.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Toyota has foreign currency exposures related to 
buying, selling and financing in currencies other 

than  the  local  currencies  in  which  it  operates. 
Toyota is exposed to foreign currency risk related 
to future earnings or assets and liabilities that are 
exposed due to operating cash flows and various 
financial  instruments  that  are  denominated  in 
foreign  currencies.  Toyota’s  most  significant 
foreign  currency  exposures  relate  to  the  U.S. 
dollar and the euro.

Toyota  uses  a  value-at-risk  analysis  (“VAR”) 
to  evaluate  its  exposure  to  changes  in  foreign 
currency  exchange  rates.  The  VAR  of 
the 
combined  foreign  exchange  position  represents 
a  potential  loss  in  pre-tax  earnings  that  was 
estimated to be ¥148.9 billion and ¥107.6 billion at 
March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Based on 
Toyota’s  overall  currency  exposure  (including 
derivative positions), the risk during fiscal 2011 to
pre-tax cash flow from currency movements was 
on  average  ¥96.5  billion,  with  a  high  of  ¥107.6 
billion and a low of ¥88.2 billion.

The  VAR  was  estimated  by  using  a  Monte 
Carlo  Simulation  Method  and  assumed  a  95% 
confidence  level  on  the  realization  date  and  a 
10-day holding period.

Interest Rate Risk

Toyota is subject to market risk from exposures to 
changes in interest rates based on its financing, 
investing and cash management activities. Toyota 
enters into various financial instrument transactions 
to  maintain  the  desired  level  of  exposure  to  the 
risk  of  interest  rate  fluctuations  and  to  minimize 
interest  expense.  The  potential  decrease  in  fair 
value resulting from a hypothetical 100 basis point 
upward  shift 
rates  would  be 
interest 
approximately ¥67.8 billion as of March 31, 2010 
and ¥139.6 billion as of March 31, 2011.

in 

There  are  certain  shortcomings  inherent  to 
the  sensitivity  analyses  presented.  The  model 
rate  changes  are 
assumes 

interest 

that 

in 

reality,  changes  are 

instantaneous  parallel  shifts  in  the  yield  curve. 
However, 
rarely 
instantaneous.  Although  certain  assets  and 
liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to 
repricing, they may not react correspondingly to 
changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest 
rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may 
fluctuate  with  changes  in  market  interest  rates, 
while interest rates on other types of assets may 
lag  behind  changes  in  market  rates.  Finance 
receivables are less susceptible to prepayments 
when  interest  rates  change  and,  as  a  result, 
Toyota’s  model  does  not  address  prepayment 
risk  for  automotive  related  finance  receivables. 
However, in the event of a change in interest rates, 
actual loan prepayments may deviate significantly 
from the assumptions used in the model.

Commodity Price Risk

Commodity  price  risk  is  the  possibility  of  higher 
or  lower  costs  due  to  changes  in  the  prices  of 
commodities,  such  as  non-ferrous  alloys  (e.g., 
aluminum),  precious  metals  (e.g.,  palladium, 
platinum and rhodium) and ferrous alloys, which 
Toyota uses in the production of motor vehicles. 
Toyota  does  not  use  derivative  instruments  to 
hedge the price risk associated with the purchase 
of those commodities and controls its commodity 
price risk by holding minimum stock levels.

Equity Price Risk

Toyota holds investments in various available-for-
sale equity securities that are subject to price risk. 
The fair value of available-for-sale equity securities 
was  ¥852.7  billion  as  of  March  31,  2010  and 
¥960.2 billion as of March 31, 2011. The potential 
change  in  the  fair  value  of  these  investments, 
assuming  a  10%  change  in  prices,  would  be 
approximately ¥85.3 billion as of March 31, 2010 
and ¥96.0 billion as of March 31, 2011.

Nature of operations:

Toyota  is  primarily  engaged  in  the  design, 
manufacture,  and  sale  of  sedans,  minivans, 
compact  cars,  sport-utility  vehicles,  trucks  and 
related  parts  and  accessories  throughout  the 
world.  In  addition,  Toyota  provides  financing, 

vehicle and equipment leasing and certain other 
financial services primarily to its dealers and their
customers  to  support  the  sales  of  vehicles  and 
other products manufactured by Toyota.

Summary of significant accounting policies:

their  financial  statements 

The parent company and its subsidiaries in Japan 
and its foreign subsidiaries maintain their records 
and  prepare 
in 
accordance with accounting principles generally 
accepted in Japan and those of their countries of 
domicile.  Certain  adjustments  and  reclassifica-
tions have been incorporated in the accompanying 
consolidated  financial  statements  to  conform  to 
U.S.GAAP.

Significant accounting policies after reflecting 

adjustments for the above are as follows:

Basis of consolidation and accounting for 
investments in affiliated companies

The consolidated financial statements include the 
accounts of the parent company and those of its 
majority-owned subsidiary companies. All signifi-
cant  intercompany  transactions  and  accounts 
have  been  eliminated.  Investments  in  affiliated 
companies in which Toyota exercises significant 
influence, but which it does not control, are stated 
at  cost  plus  equity  in  undistributed  earnings. 
Consolidated net income includes Toyota’s equity
in  current  earnings  of  such  companies,  after 
elimination  of  unrealized  intercompany  profits. 
Investments  in  such  companies  are  reduced  to 
net realizable value if a decline in market value is 
determined other-than-temporary. Investments in 

non-public companies in which Toyota does not 
exercise significant influence (generally less than
a 20% ownership interest) are stated at cost. The 
accounts  of  variable  interest  entities  as  defined 
by  U.S.GAAP  are  included  in  the  consolidated 
financial statements, if applicable.

Estimates

The preparation of Toyota’s consolidated financial 
statements in conformity with U.S.GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions 
that  affect  the  amounts  reported  in  the  consoli-
dated  financial  statements  and  accompanying 
notes.  Actual  results  could  differ  from  those 
estimates. The more significant estimates include: 
product  warranties,  liabilities  accrued  for  recalls 
and other safety measures, allowance for doubtful 
accounts  and  credit  losses,  residual  values  for 
leased  assets,  impairment  of  long-lived  assets, 
pension costs and obligations, fair value of deriva-
tive  financial  instruments,  other-than-temporary 
losses  on  marketable  securities,  litigation  liabili-
ties  and  valuation  allowance  for  deferred  tax 
assets.

Translation of foreign currencies

All  asset  and 
foreign 
subsidiaries  and  affiliates  are  translated  into 

liability  accounts  of 

Japanese  yen  at  appropriate  year-end  current 
exchange  rates  and  all  income  and  expense 
accounts  of  those  subsidiaries  are  translated  at 
the average exchange rates for each period. The 
foreign  currency 
translation  adjustments  are 
included  as  a  component  of  accumulated  other 
comprehensive income.

Foreign  currency  receivables  and  payables 
are  translated  at  appropriate  year-end  current 
exchange  rates  and  the  resulting  transaction 
gains  or  losses  are  recorded  in  operations 
currently.

Revenue recognition

Revenues  from  sales  of  vehicles  and  parts  are 
generally  recognized  upon  delivery  which  is 
considered to have occurred when the dealer has 
taken title to the product and the risk and reward 
of ownership have been substantively transferred, 
except as described below.

Toyota’s sales incentive programs principally 
consist  of  cash  payments  to  dealers  calculated 
based  on  vehicle  volume  or  a  model  sold  by  a 
dealer  during  a  certain  period  of  time.  Toyota 
accrues  these  incentives  as  revenue  reductions 
upon  the  sale  of  a  vehicle  corresponding  to  the 
program by the amount determined in the related 
incentive program.

Revenues  from  the  sales  of  vehicles  under 
which  Toyota  conditionally  guarantees 
the 
minimum  resale  value  are  recognized  on  a  pro 
rata basis from the date of sale to the first exercise 
date  of  the  guarantee  in  a  manner  similar  to 
lease  accounting.  The  underlying 
operating 
vehicles  of  these  transactions  are  recorded  as 
assets  and  are  depreciated  in  accordance  with 
Toyota’s depreciation policy.

Revenues from retail financing contracts and 
finance leases are recognized using the effective 
yield  method.  Revenues  from  operating  leases 

are  recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the 
lease term.

The  sale  of  certain  vehicles  includes  a 
determinable  amount  for  the  contract,  which 
entitles  customers  to  free  vehicle  maintenance. 
Such  revenues  from  free  maintenance  contracts 
are deferred and recognized as revenue over the 
period  of  the  contract,  which  approximates  the 
pattern of the related costs. 

Other costs

Advertising  and  sales  promotion  costs  are 
expensed  as  incurred.  Advertising  costs  were 
¥389,242 million, ¥304,375 million and ¥308,903 
million ($3,715 million) for the years ended March 
31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Toyota generally warrants its products against 
certain  manufacturing  and  other  defects. 
Provisions for product warranties are provided for 
specific  periods  of  time  and/or  usage  of  the 
product and vary depending upon the nature of 
the product, the geographic location of the sale 
and other factors. Toyota records a provision for 
estimated product warranty costs at the time the 
related  sale  is  recognized  based  on  estimates 
that Toyota will incur to repair or replace product 
parts that fail while under warranty. The amount of 
accrued  estimated  warranty  costs  is  primarily 
based  on  historical  experience  as  to  product 
failures  as  well  as  current  information  on  repair 
costs. The amount of warranty costs accrued also 
contains an estimate of warranty claim recoveries 
to be received from suppliers.

In  addition  to  product  warranties  above, 
Toyota  accrues  for  costs  of  recalls  and  other 
safety  measures  based  on  management’s 
estimates when it is probable a liability has been 
incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably 
estimated.  Prior  to  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal 
2010, amounts were accrued based on individual

occurrences of recalls and other safety measures. 
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, as a result 
of significant changes in facts and circumstances, 
Toyota  has  employed  an  estimation  model,  to 
accrue at the time of vehicle sale, an amount that 
represents  management’s  best  estimate  of 
expenses related to future recalls and other safety 
measures.  The  estimation  model  for  recalls  and 
other safety measures takes into account Toyota’s
historical experience and individual occurrences 
of recalls and other safety measures. This change 
resulted from Toyota’s fiscal 2010 experience with 
recalls and other safety measures changes in the 
operating  processes  such  as  the  establishment 
of  the  Special  Committee  for  Global  Quality  to 
address  quality-related  matters,  as  well  as  the 
broadening of the number of vehicles subject to 
recalls and other safety measures.

Litigation  liabilities  are  established  to  cover 
probable losses on various lawsuits based on the 
information currently available. Attorneys’ fees are 
expensed as incurred.

Research  and  development  costs  are 
expensed as incurred. Research and development 
costs were ¥904,075 million, ¥725,345 million and 
¥730,340  million  ($8,783  million)  for  the  years 
ended March 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  include  all  highly 
liquid investments with original maturities of three 
months  or  less,  that  are  readily  convertible  to 
known amounts of cash and are so near maturity 
that they present insignificant risk of changes in 
value because of changes in interest rates.

Marketable securities

Marketable securities consist of debt and equity 
securities. Debt and equity securities designated 
as available-for-sale are carried at fair value with 

losses 

unrealized  gains  or 
included  as  a 
component of accumulated other comprehensive 
income in shareholders’ equity, net of applicable 
taxes. Individual securities classified as available-
for-sale  are  reduced  to  net  realizable  value  for 
other-than-temporary declines in market value. In 
determining  if  a  decline  in  value  is  other-than-
temporary,  Toyota  considers  the  length  of  time 
and  the  extent  to  which  the  fair  value  has  been 
less than the carrying value, the financial condition 
and  prospects  of  the  company  and  Toyota’s 
ability  and  intent  to  retain  its  investment  in  the 
company for a period of time sufficient to allow for 
any anticipated recovery in market value. Realized 
gains  and  losses,  which  are  determined  on  the 
the 
average-cost  method,  are 
statement of income when realized.

Security  investments  in  non-public  companies 
are  carried  at  cost  as  fair  value  is  not  readily

such decline is judged to be other-than-temporary, 
the 
the 
Toyota 
investment and the carrying value is reduced to 
its  fair  value.  Determination  of  impairment  is 
based  on  the  consideration  of  such  factors  as 
operating  results,  business  plans  and  estimated 
future  cash  flows.  Fair  value  is  determined 
principally through the use of the latest financial 
information.

impairment  of 

Finance receivables

Finance receivables are recorded at the present 
value  of  the  related  future  cash  flows  including 
residual  values  for  finance  leases.  Incremental 
direct  costs  incurred  in  connection  with  the 
acquisition of finance receivables are capitalized 
and amortized so as to approximate a level rate of 

return over the term of the related contracts.

The  determination  of  portfolio  segments  is 
based primarily on the qualitative consideration of 
the  nature  of  Toyota’s  business  operations  and 
finance receivables. The three portfolio segments 
within finance receivables are as follows:

Retail receivables portfolio segment

The retail receivables portfolio segment consists 
of  retail  installment  sales  contracts  acquired 
mainly from dealers (“auto loans”) including credit 
card  loans.  These  contracts  acquired  must  first 
meet  specified  credit  standards.  Thereafter, 
Toyota retains responsibility for contract collection 
and administration.

Contract period of auto loans primarily range 
from 2 to 7 years. Toyota acquires security interests 
in  the  vehicles  financed  and  has  the  right  to 
repossess vehicles if customers fail to meet their 
contractual obligations. Almost all auto loans are 
non-recourse,  which  relieves  the  dealers  from 
financial responsibility in the event of repossession.
Toyota  classifies  retail  receivables  portfolio 
segment  into  one  class  based  on  common  risk 
characteristics  associated  with  the  underlying 
finance  receivables,  the  similarity  of  the  credit 
risks, and the quantitative materiality.

Finance lease receivables portfolio segment

Toyota  acquires  new  vehicle  lease  contracts 
originated  primarily  through  dealers.  Contract 
period of these primarily range from 2 to 5 years. 
Lease contracts acquired must first meet specified 
credit  standards  after  which  Toyota  assumes 
ownership  of  the  leased  vehicle.  Toyota  is 
responsible 
and 
contract 
administration during the lease period.

collection 

for 

Toyota is generally permitted to take possession 
of  the  vehicle  upon  a  default  by  the  lessee.  The 
residual value is estimated at the time the vehicle is 

first leased. Vehicles returned to Toyota at the end 
of their leases are sold by auction.

Toyota  classifies  finance  lease  receivables 
portfolio  segment  into  one  class  based  on 
common risk characteristics associated with the 
underlying finance receivables and the similarity 
of the credit risks.

Toyota provides wholesale financing to qualified 
dealers  to  finance  inventories.  Toyota  acquires

security

interests  would  be 
takes 
dealership assets or personal assets, or both, as 
additional  security.  If  a  dealer  defaults,  Toyota 
has the right to liquidate any assets acquired and 
seek legal remedies.

required,  Toyota 

Toyota  also  makes  term  loans  to  dealers  for 
business  acquisitions,  facilities  refurbishment, 
real  estate  purchases  and  working  capital 
requirements. These loans are typically secured 
with liens on real estate, other dealership assets 
and/or personal assets of the dealers.

Toyota  classifies  wholesale  and  other  dealer 
loan  receivables  portfolio  segment  into  three 
classes  of  wholesale,  real  estate  and  working 
capital, based on the risk characteristics associated 
with the underlying finance receivables.

Impaired finance receivables primarily consist 

of wholesale and other dealer loan receivables.

For  all  classes  of  finance  receivables  within 
the  wholesale  and  other  dealer  loan  receivables 
portfolio segment, a receivable account balance 
is  considered  impaired  when  it  is  probable  that 
Toyota  will  be  unable  to  collect  all  amounts  due 
(including principal and interest) based on current 
information and events according to the terms of 
the  contract.  Factors  such  as  payment  history,

compliance  with  terms  and  conditions  of  the 
underlying  loan  agreement  and  other  subjective 
factors  related  to  the  financial  stability  of  the 
borrower  are  considered  when  determining 
whether  a  loan  is  impaired.  Impaired  finance 
receivables include certain nonaccrual receivables 
for which a specific reserve has been assessed. 
Impaired receivables are excluded from the loan 
risk pool used to determine general reserves.

All classes of wholesale and other dealer loan 
receivables  portfolio  segment  are  placed  on 
nonaccrual status when full payment of principal 
or  interest  is  in  doubt,  principal  or  interest  is  90 
days  or  more  contractually  past  due,  whichever 
occurs  first.  Collateral  dependent  loans  are 
placed  on  nonaccrual  status  if  collateral  is 
insufficient to cover principal and interest. Interest 
accrued but not collected at the date a receivable 
is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against 
interest  income.  In  addition,  the  amortization  of 
net deferred fees is suspended.

Interest income on nonaccrual receivables is 
recognized only to the extent it is received in cash. 
Accounts are restored to accrual status only when 
interest  and  principal  payments  are  brought 
current  and  future  payments  are  reasonably 
assured.  Receivable  balances  are  written-off 
against the allowance for credit losses when it is 
probable  that  a  loss  has  been  realized.  Retail 
receivables  class  and  finance  lease  receivables 
class are not placed mainly on nonaccrual status 
when principal or interest is 90 days or more past 
due.  However,  these  receivables  are  written-off 
against  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  when 
payments  due  are  no  longer  expected  to  be 
received or the account is 120 days contractually 
past due, whichever occurs first.

As of March 31, 2010, finance receivables on 

nonaccrual status were ¥26,599 million.

Allowance for credit losses

Allowance for credit losses is established to cover 
probable  losses  on  finance  receivables  and 
vehicles  and  equipment  on  operating  leases, 
resulting from the inability of customers to make 
required payments.

Provision for credit losses is included in selling, 
general  and  administrative  expenses.  The 
allowance  for  credit  losses  is  based  on  a 
review  and  evaluation 
systematic,  ongoing 
performed  as  part  of  the  credit-risk  evaluation 
process,  historical  loss  experience,  the  size  and 
composition  of  the  portfolios,  current  economic 

events  and  conditions,  the  estimated  fair  value 
and  adequacy  of  collateral  and  other  pertinent 
factors.  Vehicles  and  equipment  on  operating 
leases  are  not  within  the  scope  of  accounting 
guidance  governing  the  disclosure  of  portfolio 
segments.

Retail receivables portfolio segment

Toyota  calculates  allowance  for  credit  losses  to 
cover  probable  losses  on  retail  receivables  by 
applying  reserve  rates 
to  such  receivables. 
Reserve rates are calculated mainly by historical 
loss  experience,  current  economic  events  and 
conditions and other pertinent factors.

Finance lease receivables portfolio segment

Toyota  calculates  allowance  for  credit  losses  to 
cover probable losses on finance lease receivables 
by  applying  reserve  rates  to  such  receivables. 
Reserve rates are calculated mainly by historical 
loss  experience,  current  economic  events  and 
conditions  and  other  pertinent  factors  such  as 
used car markets.

Wholesale  and  other  dealer  loan  receivables 
portfolio segment

Toyota  calculates  allowance  for  credit  losses  to 
cover  probable  losses  on  wholesale  and  other 
dealer loan receivables by applying reserve rates 
to such receivables. Reserve rates are calculated 
mainly by financial conditions of the dealers, terms 
of collateral setting, current economic events and 
conditions and other pertinent factors.

Toyota establishes specific reserves to cover 
the  estimated  losses  on  individually  impaired 
receivables within the wholesale and other dealer 
loan  receivables  portfolio  segment.  Specific 
reserves on impaired receivables are determined 
by the present value of expected future cash flows 
or  the  fair  value  of  collateral  when  it  is  probable 

that  such  receivables  will  be  unable  to  be  fully 
collected. The fair value of the underlying collateral
is  used  if  the  receivable  is  collateral-dependent. 
The receivable is determined collateral-dependent 
if  the  repayment  of  the  loan  is  expected  to  be 
provided  by  the  underlying  collateral.  For  the 
receivables in which the fair value of the underlying 
collateral  was  in  excess  of  the  outstanding 
balance, no allowance was provided.

Specific  reserves  on  impaired  receivables 
within  the  wholesale  and  other  dealer  loan 
receivables portfolio segment are recorded by an 
increase to the allowance for credit losses based 
on 
impairment. 
Related  collateral,  if  recoverable,  is  repossessed 
and sold and the account balance is written-off.

the  related  measurement  of 

Any shortfall between proceeds received and 
the  carrying  cost  of  repossessed  collateral  is 
charged to the allowance. Recoveries are reversed 
from the allowance for credit losses.

Allowance for residual value losses

Toyota is exposed to risk of loss on the disposition 
of  off-lease  vehicles  to  the  extent  that  sales 
proceeds are not sufficient to cover the carrying 
value  of  the  leased  asset  at  lease  termination. 
Toyota maintains an allowance to cover probable 
estimated losses related to unguaranteed residual 
values  on  its  owned  portfolio.  The  allowance  is 
evaluated  considering  projected  vehicle  return 
loss  severity.  Factors 
rates  and  projected 
considered in the determination of projected return 
rates  and  loss  severity  include  historical  and 
market information on used vehicle sales, trends 
in lease returns and new car markets, and general 
economic conditions. Management evaluates the 
foregoing factors, develops several potential loss 
scenarios,  and  reviews  allowance 
to 
determine  whether  reserves  are  considered 
adequate to cover the probable range of losses.

The  allowance  for  residual  value  losses  is 
maintained  in  amounts  considered  by  Toyota  to 
be appropriate in relation to the estimated losses 
on  its  owned  portfolio.  Upon  disposal  of  the 
assets,  the  allowance  for  residual  losses  is 
adjusted for the difference between the net book 
value and the proceeds from sale.

Inventories

Inventories  are  valued  at  cost,  not  in  excess  of 
market,  cost  being  determined  on  the  “average-
cost” basis, except for the cost of finished products 
carried by certain subsidiary companies which is 
determined  on  the  “specific  identification”  basis 
or  “last-in,  first-out”  (“LIFO”)  basis.  Inventories 
valued on the LIFO basis totaled ¥199,275 million 
and ¥151,183 million ($1,818 million) at March 31, 
2010  and  2011,  respectively.  Had  the  “first-in, 
first-out”  basis  been  used  for  those  companies 
using the LIFO basis, inventories would have been 
¥64,099 million and ¥57,943 million ($697 million) 
higher than reported at March 31, 2010 and 2011, 
respectively.

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. 
Major renewals and improvements are capitalized; 
minor  replacements,  maintenance  and  repairs 
are  charged  to  current  operations.  Depreciation 
of  property,  plant  and  equipment  is  mainly 
computed  on  the  declining-balance  method  for 
the  parent  company  and  Japanese  subsidiaries 
and  on  the  straight-line  method  for  foreign 
subsidiary companies at rates based on estimated 
useful lives of the respective assets according to 
general class, type of construction and use. The 
estimated useful lives range from 2 to 65 years for 
buildings  and  from  2  to  20  years  for  machinery 
and equipment.

Vehicles and equipment on operating leases 
to  third  parties  are  originated  by  dealers  and 
acquired  by  certain  consolidated  subsidiaries. 
Such subsidiaries are also the lessors of certain 
property that they acquire directly. Vehicles and 
equipment  on  operating  leases  are  depreciated 
primarily on a straight-line method over the lease
term, generally from 2 to 5 years, to the estimated 
residual value. Incremental direct costs incurred 
in  connection  with  the  acquisition  of  operating 
lease contracts are capitalized and amortized on 
a straight-line method over the lease term.

Long-lived assets

Toyota reviews its long-lived assets for impairment 
whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances 
indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset 
group  may  not  be  recoverable.  An  impairment 
loss  would  be  recognized  when  the  carrying 
amount of an asset group exceeds the estimated 
undiscounted cash flows expected to result from 
the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. 
The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded 
is calculated by the excess of the carrying value 
of the asset group over its fair value. Fair value is 
determined mainly using a discounted cash flow 
valuation method.

Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill is not material to Toyota’s consolidated 
balance sheets.

Intangible assets consist mainly of software. 
Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized 
on a straight-line basis with estimated useful lives 
mainly  of  5  years.  Intangible  assets  with  an 
indefinite life are tested for impairment whenever 
events or circumstances indicate that a carrying 
amount  of  an  asset  (asset  group)  may  not  be 
recoverable.

An  impairment  loss  would  be  recognized 
when  the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset  exceeds 
the  estimated  undiscounted  cash  flows  used  in 
determining the fair value of the asset. The amount 
of the impairment loss to be recorded is generally 
determined  by  the  difference  between  the  fair 
value of the asset using a discounted cash flow 
valuation method and the current book value.

Employee benefit obligations

Toyota  has  both  defined  benefit  and  defined 
contribution  plans 
for  employees’  retirement 
benefits.  Retirement  benefit  obligations  are 
measured by actuarial calculations in accordance 
with U.S.GAAP. The funded status of the defined 
benefit postretirement plans is recognized on the 
consolidated balance sheets as prepaid pension 
and  severance  costs  or  accrued  pension  and 
severance costs, and the funded status change 
is recognized in the year in which it occurs through 
other comprehensive income.

Environmental matters

Environmental  expenditures  relating  to  current 
operations  are  expensed  or  capitalized  as 
appropriate.  Expenditures  relating  to  existing 
conditions caused by past operations, which do 
not  contribute  to  current  or  future  revenues,  are 
expensed.  Liabilities  for  remediation  costs  are 
recorded when they are probable and reasonably 
estimable, generally no later than the completion 
of feasibility studies or Toyota’s commitment to a 
plan  of  action.  The  cost  of  each  environmental 
liability is estimated by using current technology 
available  and  various  engineering,  financial  and 
legal  specialists  within  Toyota  based  on  current 
law.  Such  liabilities  do  not  reflect  any  offset  for 
possible  recoveries  from  insurance  companies 
and  are  not  discounted.  There  were  no  material 
changes in these liabilities for all periods presented.

Income taxes

liabilities 

The provision for income taxes is computed based 
on the pretax income included in the consolidated 
statement  of  income.  The  asset  and  liability 
approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets 
and 
tax 
consequences of temporary differences between 
the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets 
and liabilities. Valuation allowances are recorded 
to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely 
than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

Derivative financial instruments

Toyota  employs  derivative  financial  instruments, 
including  forward  foreign  currency  exchange 
contracts,  foreign  currency  options,  interest  rate 
swaps,  interest  rate  currency  swap  agreements 
and interest rate options to manage its exposure 
to  fluctuations  in  interest  rates  and  foreign 
currency  exchange  rates.  Toyota  does  not  use 
derivatives  for  speculation  or  trading  purposes. 
Changes  in  the  fair  value  of  derivatives  are 
recorded  each  period  in  current  earnings  or 
through other comprehensive income, depending 
on whether a derivative is designated as part of a 
hedge 
type  of  hedge 
transaction. The ineffective portion of all hedges 
is recognized currently in operations.

Net income attributable to Toyota Motor 
Corporation per share

Basic  net  income  attributable  to  Toyota  Motor 
Corporation per common share is calculated by 
dividing  net  income  attributable  to  Toyota  Motor 
Corporation by the weighted-average number of 
shares  outstanding  during  the  reported  period. 
The calculation of diluted net income attributable 
to Toyota Motor Corporation per common share is 
similar  to  the  calculation  of  basic  net  income 
attributable  to  Toyota  Motor  Corporation  per

share, except that the weighted-average number 
of  shares  outstanding  includes  the  additional 
dilution  from  the  assumed  exercise  of  dilutive 
stock options.

Stock-based compensation

Toyota  measures  compensation  expense  for  its 
stock-based  compensation  plan  based  on  the 
grant-date fair value of the award, and accounts 
for the award.

Other comprehensive income

Other comprehensive income refers to revenues, 
expenses, gains and losses that, under U.S.GAAP 
are  included  in  comprehensive  income,  but  are 
excluded from net income as these amounts are 
recorded directly as an adjustment to shareholders’ 
equity.  Toyota’s  other  comprehensive  income  is 
primarily comprised of unrealized gains/losses on 
marketable  securities  designated  as  available-
for-sale, foreign currency translation adjustments 
and adjustments attributed to pension liabilities or 
minimum  pension 
liabilities  associated  with 
Toyota’s defined benefit pension plans.

Accounting changes

In June 2009, FASB issued updated guidance of 
accounting  for  and  disclosure  of  transfers  and 
servicing.  This  guidance  eliminates  the  concept 
of  a  qualifying  special-purpose  entity,  changes 
the  requirements  for  derecognizing  financial 
assets, and requires additional disclosures about 
transfers of financial assets. Toyota adopted this 
guidance  from  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31, 
2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have 
a  material 
impact  on  Toyota’s  consolidated 
financial statements.

In June 2009, FASB issued updated guidance 
of accounting for and disclosure of consolidation. 
This guidance changes how a company determines 

when  a  variable 
interest  entity  should  be 
consolidated. Toyota adopted this guidance from 
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. The adoption 
of this guidance did not have a material impact on 
Toyota’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, FASB issued updated disclosure 
guidance on receivables. This guidance requires 
additional  disclosures  about  the  credit  quality  of 
financing receivables and the allowance for credit 
losses.  Toyota  adopted  this  guidance  from  the 
fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. The adoption of 
this  guidance  did  not  have  a  material  impact  on 
Toyota’s consolidated financial statements. For a 
further  discussion  of  additional  disclosures  by 
adoption of this guidance, please see notes 7 and 
11 to Toyota’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent pronouncements to be adopted in 
future periods

In October 2009, FASB issued updated guidance 
of  accounting  for  and  disclosure  of  Revenue 
Recognition  with  Multiple  Deliverables.  This 
guidance allows the use of estimated selling price 
for  determining  the  selling  price  of  deliverables, 
eliminates  the  residual  method  of  allocation  and 
expands  the  disclosures  related  to  a  vendor’s 
multiple-deliverable  revenue  arrangements.  This 
guidance  is  effective  prospectively  for  revenue 
arrangements entered into or materially modified 
in fiscal year beginning on or after June 15, 2010. 
Management  does  not  expect  this  guidance  to 
have  a  material  impact  on  Toyota’s  consolidated 
financial statements.

In April 2011, FASB issued updated guidance 
to clarify the accounting for and disclosures about 
troubled  debt  restructurings  by  creditors.  This 
guidance  provides  the  criteria  as  to  whether  a 
loan  modification  constitutes  a  troubled  debt 
restructuring  and  requires  additional  disclosures 
about troubled debt restructurings. This guidance

is effective for the interim period or the fiscal year 
beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and shall be 
applied  retrospectively  to  the  beginning  of  the 
fiscal  year  of  adoption.  Management  does  not 
expect this guidance to have a material impact on 
Toyota’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified 
to conform to the presentations as of and for the 
year ended March 31, 2011.

amounts  actually  represent,  or  have  been  or 

could  be  converted  into,  U.S.  dollars.  For  this 
purpose, the rate of ¥83.15 = U.S. $1, the approxi-
mate  current  exchange  rate  at  March  31,  2011, 
was used for the translation of the accompanying 
consolidated  financial  amounts  of  Toyota  as  of 
and for the year ended March 31, 2011.

operate  to  determine  if  Toyota’s  investment  in 
each individual company is impaired and whether

periodically  performs  this  impairment  test  for 
significant  investments  recorded  at  cost.  If  the

written-down  by  the  impaired  amount  and  the

Toyota  is  exposed  to  credit  risk  on  Toyota’s

arising from the failure of customers or dealers to 
meet  the  terms  of  their  contracts  with  Toyota  or 

otherwise  fail  to  perform  as  agreed.  Toyota 
estimates allowance for credit losses by variety of

Certain  affiliated  companies  accounted  for

were quoted on various established markets at an 
aggregate  value  of  ¥1,711,957  million  and 
¥1,475,352  million  ($17,743  million),  respectively. 
For  the  year  ended  March  31,  2010,  Toyota 
recognized  an  impairment  loss  on  a  certain 
investment  in  affiliated  company  accounted  for 
by the equity method of ¥63,575 million, which is
included  in  “Equity  in  earnings  of  affiliated 

companies”  in  the  accompanying  consolidated 
statements of income. Toyota evaluated its invest-
ments  in  affiliated  companies,  considering  the 
length of time and the extent to which the quoted 
market  prices  have  been  less  than  the  carrying 
amounts,  the  financial  condition  and  near-term 
prospects of the affiliated companies and Toyota’s 
ability and intent to retain those investments in the 
companies  for  a  period  of  time.  Toyota  did  not 
recognize any impairment loss for the year ended 
March 31, 2011.

Toyota does not have any significant related 
party  transactions  other  than  transactions  with 
affiliated  companies  in  the  ordinary  course  of 
business.

Variable Interest Entities

into  securitization 

Toyota  enters 
transactions 
using  special-purpose  entities,  that  are  consid-
ered  variable  interest  entities  (“VIEs”).  Although 
the  finance  receivables  related  to  securitization 
transactions  have  been  legally  sold  to  the  VIEs, 
Toyota has both the power to direct the activities 
of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs’ 
economic  performance  and  the  obligation  to

absorb losses of the VIEs or the right to receive 
benefits  from  the  VIEs  that  could  potentially  be 
significant  to  the  VIEs.  As  a  result,  Toyota  is 
considered  the  primary  beneficiary  of  the  VIEs 
and therefore consolidates the VIEs.

The  consolidated  securitization  VIEs  have 
¥1,111,212 million ($13,364 million) in retail finance
receivables,  ¥64,502  million  ($776  million)  in 
restricted  cash  and  ¥941,613  million  ($11,324 
million) in secured debt. Risks to which Toyota is 
exposed  including  credit,  interest  rate,  and/or 
prepayment risks are not incremental compared 
with the situation before Toyota enters into securi-
tization transactions.

As for VIEs other than those specified above, 
neither  the  aggregate  size  of  these  VIEs  nor 
Toyota’s  involvements  in  these  VIEs  are  material 
to Toyota’s consolidated financial statements.

Product warranties and recalls and other safety measures:

Toyota  provides  product  warranties  for  certain 
defects  mainly  resulting 
from  manufacturing 
based on warranty contracts with its customers at 
the  time  of  sale  of  products.  Toyota  accrues 
estimated  warranty  costs  to  be  incurred  in  the 
future in accordance with the warranty contracts. 
In addition to product warranties, Toyota initiates 
recalls and other safety measures to repair or to 
replace  parts  which  might  be  expected  to  fail 
from  products  safety  perspectives  or  customer 
satisfaction standpoints. Toyota accrues for costs 
of recalls and other safety measures at the time of 

vehicle sale based on the amount estimated from 
historical experience.

* Toyota has employed an estimation model to accrue of expenses for future recalls and other safety measures at the time of vehicle sale 
based on the amount estimated from historical experience from the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. This change has 
resulted in an increase in provision for recalls and other safety measures in this table by ¥105,698 million.

Toyota  is  subject  to  a  number  of  different 
income taxes which, in the aggregate, indicate a 
statutory rate in Japan of approximately 40.2% for 
the years ended March 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011. 

Such  rate  was  also  used  to  calculate  the  tax 
effects  of  temporary  differences,  which  are 
expected to be realized in the future years.

Other payables are mainly related to purchases of property, plant and equipment and non-manufacturing

The  valuation  allowance  mainly  relates  to

The  other  amount  includes  the  impact  of 
consolidation  and  deconsolidation  of  certain 
entities due to changes in ownership interest and 
currency translation adjustments during the years 
ended  March  31,  2009,  2010  and  2011.  The 
factors used to assess the likelihood of realization 
of the deferred tax assets are the future reversal 
of  existing  taxable  temporary  differences,  the 
future taxable income and available tax planning 

strategies  that  are  prudent  and  feasible.  All 
available evidence, both positive and negative, is 
considered  to  determine  whether,  based  on  the 
weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is 
needed. Toyota believes that it is more likely than 
not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized 
through future taxable income. Failure to achieve 
the  forecasted  taxable  income,  however,  could 
affect the realization of deferred tax assets.

The deferred tax assets and liabilities that comprise the net deferred tax liability are included in the

consolidated balance sheets as follows:

provision for income taxes on those undistributed

The  amount  of  unrecognized  tax  benefits 
that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax 
rate was not material at March 31, 2009, 2010 and 
2011,  respectively.  Toyota  does  not  believe  it  is 
reasonably  possible  that  the  total  amounts  of 
unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase 
or decrease within the next twelve months.

Interest  and  penalties  related  to  income  tax 
liabilities  are  included  in  “Other  income  (loss),

The Corporation Act provides that an amount 
equal to 10% of distributions from surplus paid by 
the  parent  company  and  its  Japanese  subsid-
iaries  be  appropriated  as  a  capital  reserve  or  a 
retained earnings reserve. No further appropria-
tions  are  required  when  the  total  amount  of  the 
capital reserve and the retained earnings reserve 
reaches 25% of stated capital.

The  retained  earnings  reserve  included  in 
retained earnings as of March 31, 2010 and 2011 
was ¥168,680 million and ¥171,062 million ($2,057 
million), 
respectively.  The  Corporation  Act 
provides that the retained earnings reserve of the 
parent company and its Japanese subsidiaries is 
restricted  and  unable  to  be  used  for  dividend 
payments, and is excluded from the calculation of 
the profit available for dividend.

Shareholders’  Meeting,  the  shareholders  of  the 
parent company approved to purchase up to 30 
million shares of its common stock at a cost up to 
¥250,000  million  during  the  purchase  period  of 
one year from the following day. As a result, the 
parent  company  repurchased  30  million  shares 
during the approved period of time.
  On February 5, 2008, the Board of Directors 
resolved to purchase up to 12 million shares of its 
common stock at a cost up to ¥60,000 million in 
accordance with the Corporation Act. As a result, 
the parent company repurchased approximately 
10 million shares.
  On the same date, the Board of Directors also 
resolved to retire 162 million shares of its common 
stock,  and  then  the  parent  company  retired  its 
common  stock  on  March  31,  2008.  This  retire-

from  additional  paid-in  capital  and  retained 
earnings.  As  a  result,  treasury  stock,  additional 
paid-in capital and retained earnings decreased 
by ¥646,681 million, ¥3,499 million and ¥643,182

Stock-based compensation:

In June 1997, the parent company’s shareholders 
approved a stock option plan for board members. 
In  June  2001,  the  shareholders  approved  an 
amendment  of  the  plan  to  include  both  board 
members  and  key  employees.  Each  year  until 
June  2010,  since  the  plans’  inception,  the 
shareholders have approved the authorization for 
the grant of options for the purchase of Toyota’s 
common stock. Authorized shares for each year 
that remain ungranted are unavailable for grant in 
future  years.  Stock  options  granted  in  and  after 
August 2002 have terms ranging from 6 years to 
8  years  and  an  exercise  price  equal  to  1.025 
times the closing price of Toyota’s common stock 
on the date of grant. These options generally vest 
2 years from the date of grant.

For  the  years  ended  March  31,  2009,  2010 
and  2011,  Toyota 
recognized  stock-based 
compensation  expenses  for  stock  options  of 
¥3,015  million,  ¥2,446  million  and  ¥2,522  million 
($30 million) as selling, general and administrative 
expenses.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of 
options granted during the years ended March 31, 
2009, 2010 and 2011 was ¥635, ¥803 and ¥724 
($9),  respectively  per  share.  The  fair  value  of 
options  granted  is  amortized  over  the  option 
vesting period in determining net income attribut-
able

institutions 

in  accordance  with 

The parent company and most subsidiaries in 
Japan  have  contributory  funded  defined  benefit 
pension plans, which are pursuant to the Corporate 
Defined Benefit Pension Plan Law (CDBPPL). The 
contributions to the plans are funded with several 
financial 
the 
applicable  laws  and  regulations.  These  pension 
plan assets consist principally of common stocks, 
government bonds and insurance contracts.
  Most foreign subsidiaries have pension plans 
or  severance  indemnity  plans  covering  substan-
tially all of their employees under which the cost of 
benefits  are  currently  invested  or  accrued.  The 
benefits  for  these  plans  are  based  primarily  on 
lengths of service and current rates of pay.

Toyota  uses  a  March  31  measurement  date 

for its benefit plans.

19

Employee benefit plans:

Pension and severance plans

Upon terminations of employment, employees of 
the parent company and subsidiaries in Japan are 
entitled,  under  the  retirement  plans  of  each 
company,  to  lump-sum  indemnities  or  pension 
payments,  based  on  current  rates  of  pay  and 
lengths of service or the number of “points” mainly 
determined  by  those.  Under  normal  circum-
stances, the minimum payment prior to retirement 
age is an amount based on voluntary retirement. 
Employees receive additional benefits on involun-
tary  retirement,  including  retirement  at  the  age 
limit.

Effective October 1, 2004, the parent company 
amended its retirement plan to introduce a “point” 
based  retirement  benefit  plan.  Under  the  new 
plan,  employees  are  entitled  to  lump-sum  or 
pension payments determined based on accumu-
lated “points” vested in each year of service.

There are three types of “points” that vest in 
each year of service consisting of “service period 
points” which are attributed to the length of service, 
“job title points” which are attributed to the job title 
of  each  employee,  and  “performance  points” 
which  are  attributed  to  the  annual  performance 
evaluation  of  each  employee.  Under  normal 
circumstances,  the  minimum  payment  prior  to 
retirement age is an amount reflecting an adjust-
ment rate applied to represent voluntary retirement. 
Employees  receive  additional  benefits  upon 
involuntary retirement, including retirement at the 
age limit.

Effective October 1, 2005, the parent company 
partly amended its retirement plan and introduced 
the quasi cash-balance plan under which benefits 
are  determined  based  on  the  variable-interest 
crediting rate rather than the fixed-interest crediting 
rate as was in the pre-amended plan.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The expected rate of return on plan assets is 
determined  after  considering  several  applicable 
factors including, the composition of plan assets 
held,  assumed  risks  of  asset  management, 
historical  results  of  the  returns  on  plan  assets, 
Toyota’s  principal  policy  for  plan  asset  manage-
ment, and forecasted market conditions.

Toyota’s  policy  and  objective  for  plan  asset 
management is to maximize returns on plan assets 
to  meet  future  benefit  payment  requirements 
under  risks  which  Toyota  considers  permissible. 
Asset  allocations  under  the  plan  asset  manage-
ment  are  determined  based  on  plan  asset 
management  policies  of  each  plan  which  are 
established 
the  optimized  asset 
compositions in terms of the long-term overall plan 
asset  management.  Excepting  equity  securities 
contributed by Toyota, approximately 50% of the 
plan  assets  is  invested  in  equity  securities, 

to  achieve 

factors 

approximately 30% is invested in debt securities, 
and  the  rest  of  them  is  invested  in  insurance 
contracts and other products. When actual alloca-
tions are not in line with target allocations, Toyota 
rebalances its investments in accordance with the 
policies.  Prior  to  making  individual  investments, 
in-depth  assessments  of 
Toyota  performs 
corresponding 
including  category  of 
products, industry type, currencies and liquidity of 
each potential investment under consideration to 
mitigate  concentrations  of  risks  such  as  market 
risk  and  foreign  currency  exchange  rate  risk.  To 
assess  performance  of  the  investments,  Toyota 
establishes  bench  mark  return  rates  for  each 
individual  investment,  combines  these  individual 
bench mark rates based on the asset composition 
ratios within each asset category, and compares 
the combined rates with the corresponding actual 
return rates on each asset category.

The following table summarizes the fair value of classes of plan assets as of March 31, 2010 and 
2011. See note 26 to the consolidated financial statements for three levels of input which are used to 
measure fair value.

The  following  is  description  of  the  assets, 
information  about  the  valuation  techniques  used 
to  measure  fair  value,  key  inputs  and  significant 
assumptions: 
  Quoted  market  prices  for  identical  securities 
are used to measure fair value of common stocks. 
Common stocks include 64% of Japanese stocks 
and 36% of foreign stocks as of March 31, 2010, 
and 51% of Japanese stocks and 49% of foreign 
stocks as of March 31, 2011.
  Quoted  market  prices  for  identical  securities 
are  used  to  measure  fair  value  of  government 
bonds.  Government  bonds 
include  25%  of 
Japanese government bonds and 75% of foreign 
government  bonds  as  of  March  31,  2010,  and 
25% of Japanese government bonds and 75% of 
foreign government bonds as of March 31, 2011.

Commingled funds are beneficial interests of 
collective trust, which are mainly invested by the 
parent company and Japanese subsidiaries. The 
fair  values  of  commingled  funds  are  measured 
using the net asset value (“NAV”) provided by the

Postretirement benefits other than pensions 
and postemployment benefits

Toyota’s  U.S.  subsidiaries  provide  certain  health 
care and life insurance benefits to eligible retired
employees. In addition, Toyota provides benefits 
to  certain  former  or  inactive  employees  after 
employment, but before retirement. These benefits 

are  currently  unfunded  and  provided  through 
various  insurance  companies  and  health  care 
these  benefits  are 
providers.  The  costs  of 
recognized over the period the employee provides 
credited  service  to  Toyota.  Toyota’s  obligations 
under these arrangements are not material.

For  the  years  ended  March  31,  2009,  2010 
and  2011,  the  ineffective  portion  of  Toyota’s  fair 
value  hedge  relationships  was  not  material.  For 
fair value hedging relationships, the components 
of each derivative’s gain or loss are included in the 
assessment of hedge effectiveness.

Undesignated derivative financial instruments

Toyota uses foreign exchange forward contracts, 
foreign  currency  options,  interest  rate  swaps, 
interest  rate  currency  swap  agreements,  and 
interest  rate  options,  to  manage  its  exposure  to 
foreign  currency  exchange  rate  fluctuations  and 
interest  rate  fluctuations 
from  an  economic 
perspective, and for which Toyota is unable or has
elected not to apply hedge accounting.

20

Derivative financial instruments:

Toyota  employs  derivative  financial  instruments, 
including  foreign  exchange  forward  contracts, 
foreign  currency  options,  interest  rate  swaps, 
interest  rate  currency  swap  agreements  and 
interest  rate  options  to  manage  its  exposure  to 
fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency 
exchange rates. Toyota does not use derivatives 
for speculation or trading.

Fair value hedges

Toyota enters into interest rate swaps and interest 
rate currency swap agreements mainly to convert 
its  fixed-rate  debt  to  variable-rate  debt.  Toyota 
uses interest rate swap agreements in managing 
interest  rate  risk  exposure.  Interest  rate  swap 
agreements  are  executed  as  either  an  integral 
part of specific debt transactions or on a portfolio 
basis.  Toyota  uses  interest  rate  currency  swap 
agreements  to  hedge  exposure  to  currency 
exchange  rate  fluctuations  on  principal  and 
interest payments for borrowings denominated in 
foreign  currencies.  Notes  and  loans  payable 
issued  in  foreign  currencies  are  hedged  by 
concurrently executing interest rate currency swap
agreements, which involve the exchange of foreign 
currency  principal  and  interest  obligations  for 
each  functional  currency  obligations  at  agreed-
upon currency exchange and interest rates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Undesignated derivative financial instruments 
are used to manage risks of fluctuations in interest 
rates  to  certain  borrowing  transactions  and  in 
foreign  currency  exchange  rates  of  certain 
currency 
receivables  and  payables.  Toyota 
accounts for these derivative financial instruments 
as  economic  hedges  with  changes  in  the  fair 
value 
into  current  period 
earnings.

recorded  directly 

Unrealized gains or (losses) on undesignated 
derivative  financial  instruments  reported  in  the 
cost of financing operations for the years ended 
March  31,  2009,  2010  and  2011  were  ¥(80,298) 
million, ¥71,538 million and ¥93,370 million ($1,123 
million)  those  reported  in  foreign  exchange  gain 
(loss), net were ¥(33,578) million, ¥(26,476) million 
and ¥(240) million ($(3) million), respectively.

Credit risk related contingent features

Toyota enters into International Swaps and Deriva-
tives  Association  Master  Agreements  with 
counterparties. These Master Agreements contain 
a provision requiring either Toyota or the counter-
party to settle the contract or to post assets to the 
other  party  in  the  event  of  a  ratings  downgrade 
below a specified threshold.

The aggregate fair value amount of derivative 
financial instruments that contain credit risk related
contingent features that are in a net liability position 
as  of  March  31,  2011  is  ¥27,432  million  ($330 
million). The aggregate fair value amount of assets 
that  are  already  posted  as  of  March  31,  2011  is 
¥5,773 million ($69 million). If the ratings of Toyota 
decline below specified thresholds, the maximum 
amount of assets to be posted or for which Toyota 
could be required to settle the contracts is ¥27,432 
million ($330 million) as of March 31, 2011.

21

Other financial instruments:

Toyota has certain financial instruments, including 
financial  assets  and  liabilities  and  off-balance 
sheet  financial  instruments  which  arose  in  the 
normal course of business. These financial instru-
ments  are  executed  with  creditworthy  financial 
institutions,  and  virtually  all  foreign  currency 
contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars, euros 
and  other  currencies  of  major  industrialized 
countries. Financial instruments involve, to varying 
degrees, market risk as instruments are subject to 
price  fluctuations,  and  elements  of  credit  risk  in 
the  event  a  counterparty  should  default.  In  the 
unlikely event the counterparties fail to meet the 
contractual  terms  of  a  foreign  currency  or  an 

interest rate instrument, Toyota’s risk is limited to 
the fair value of the instrument. Although Toyota 
may  be  exposed  to  losses  in  the  event  of 
non-performance  by  counterparties  on  financial 
instruments,  it  does  not  anticipate  significant 
losses  due  to  the  nature  of  its  counterparties. 
Counterparties  to  Toyota’s  financial  instruments 
represent, 
international  financial 
institutions. Additionally, Toyota does not have a 
significant  exposure  to  any  individual  counter-
party.  Toyota  believes  that  the  overall  credit  risk 
related 
is  not 
to 
significant.

In the normal course of business, substantially all 
cash  and  cash  equivalents,  time  deposits  and 
other receivables are highly liquid and are carried 
at amounts which approximate fair value.

Finance receivables, net

The carrying value of variable rate finance receiv-
ables was assumed to approximate fair value as 
they were repriced at prevailing market rates. The 
fair  value  of  fixed  rate  finance  receivables  was 

estimated by discounting expected cash flows to 
present value using the rates at which new loans 
of  similar  credit  quality  and  maturity  would  be 
made.

Short-term borrowings and long-term debt

The fair values of short-term borrowings and total 
long-term debt including the current portion were 
estimated  based  on  the  discounted  amounts  of 
future  cash  flows  using  Toyota’s  current 
incremental borrowing rates for similar liabilities.

Guarantee  periods  are  set  to  match  maturity  of 
installment  payments,  and  at  March  31,  2011, 
range  from  1  month  to  35  years;  however,  they 
are  generally  shorter  than  the  useful  lives  of 
products  sold.  Toyota  is  required  to  execute  its 
guarantee  primarily  when  customers  are  unable 
to make required payments.

The  maximum  potential  amount  of  future 
payments  as  of  March  31,  2011  is  ¥1,662,225 
million ($19,991 million). Liabilities for guarantees 
totaling ¥20,450 million ($246 million) have been 

provided  as  of  March  31,  2011.  Under  these 
guarantee contracts, Toyota is entitled to recover 
any  amount  paid  by  Toyota  from  the  customers 
whose original obligations Toyota has guaranteed.

Legal Proceedings
Product Recalls

From  time-to-time,  Toyota  issues  vehicle  recalls 
and takes other safety measures including safety 
campaigns  relating  to  its  vehicles.  In  November 
2009,  Toyota  announced  a  safety  campaign  in 
North America for certain models of Toyota and 
Lexus vehicles related to floor mat entrapment of 
accelerator  pedals,  and  later  expanded  it  to 
include  additional  models.  In  January  2010, 
Toyota  announced  a  recall  in  North  America  for 
certain  models  of  Toyota  vehicles  related  to 
sticking  and  slow-to-return  accelerator  pedals. 
Also in January 2010, Toyota recalled in Europe 
and  China  certain  models  of  Toyota  vehicles 
related to sticking accelerator pedals. In February 
2010,  Toyota  announced  a  worldwide  recall 
related to the software program that controls the

antilock braking system (ABS) in certain vehicles 
models  including  the  Prius.  Set  forth  below  is  a 
lawsuits  and 
description  of  various  claims, 
government investigations involving Toyota in the 
United  States  relating  to  these  recalls  and  other 
safety measures.

Class Action and Consolidated Litigation

There  are  approximately  200  putative  class 
actions  that  have  been  filed  since  November 
2009  alleging  that  certain  Toyota,  Lexus  and 
Scion  vehicles  contain  defects  that  lead  to 
unintended  acceleration.  Many  of  the  putative 
class  actions  allege  that  malfunctions  involving 
the  floor  mats  and  accelerator  pedals  do  not 
cover the full scope of possible defects related to 
unintended acceleration. Rather, they allege that 
Electronic  Throttle  Control  System-intelligent 
(ETCS-i)  is  the  true  cause  and  that  Toyota  has 
failed to inform consumers despite its awareness 
of  the  problem.  In  general,  these  cases  seek 
recovery for the alleged diminution in value of the 
vehicles, injunctive and other relief. In April 2010, 
the approximately 190 federal cases were consol-
idated  for  pretrial  proceedings  into  a  single 
multi-district litigation in the United States District 
Court  for  the  Central  District  of  California.  In 
addition,  of  the  approximately  325  individual 
product  liability  personal  injury  cases  relating  to 
unintended acceleration pending against Toyota, 
the  federal  cases  have  been  or  are  likely  to  be 
consolidated into the multi-district litigation. The 
remaining  individual  product  liability  personal 
injury  cases  relating  to  unintended  acceleration 
remain  pending  in  various  state  courts  in  the 
United  States.  This  consolidated  federal  action 
suit  is  in  its  early  stages  and  has  included 
document  production,  depositions  and  various 
motions.

Additionally, 

there  are  approximately 

ten 
putative  class  actions  in  various  state  courts, 
including California. The claims are similar to the 
class actions in federal court. One of the putative 
California class actions was filed by the Orange 
County District Attorney and, among other things, 
seeks statutory penalties alleging that Toyota sold 
and  marketed  defective  vehicles  and 
that 
consumers  have  been  harmed  as  a  result  of 
diminution in value of their vehicles.

Beginning in February 2010, Toyota has also 
been  sued  in  approximately  20  putative  class 
actions  alleging  defects  in  the  antilock  braking 
systems in various hybrid vehicles that cause the 
vehicles  to  fail  to  stop  in  a  timely  manner  when 
driving  in  certain  road  conditions.  The  plaintiffs 
seek  an  order  requiring  Toyota  to  repair  the 
vehicles and claim that all owners and lessees of 
vehicles,  including  those  for  which  recalls  have 
been  implemented,  should  be  compensated  for 
the defects related to the antilock braking systems. 
These  cases  have  been  consolidated  into  two 
actions, one in federal court in the United States 
District Court for the Central District of California 
and one in state court in the Los Angeles County 
Superior Court. 

From  February  through  April  2010,  Toyota 
was  also  sued  in  six  putative  shareholder  class 
actions on behalf of investors in Toyota American 
Depository Shares and common stock. The cases 
have been consolidated into a single action in the 
United States District Court for the Central District 
of  California,  and  a  lead  plaintiff  has  been 
appointed.  The  consolidated  complaint,  filed 
October 4, 2010, alleges violations of the Securi-
ties Exchange Act of 1934 and Japan’s Financial 
Instruments and Exchange Act on the basis that 
defendants  made  statements  that  were  false  or 
misleading in that they failed to disclose problems 
with, or the causes of, unintended acceleration in 

a  number  of  vehicle  models.  Plaintiffs  seek 
monetary damages in an amount to be proven at 
trial, interest and attorneys’ fees and costs.
  On  May  21,  2010,  a  shareholder  derivative 
action  was  filed  against  certain  officers  and 
directors  of  Toyota  in  the  Superior  Court  of  the 
State  of  California,  County  of  Los  Angeles.  The 
complaint alleged that the defendants breached 
their  fiduciary  duties  of  care  and  loyalty  in  their 
handling  of  design  defects  in  Toyota  vehicles, 
alleging  facts  similar  to  those  alleged  in  the 
securities  class  action.  On  April  20,  2011,  the 
Court  issued  an  order  dismissing  the  case  and 
entered judgment in favor of defendants.
  On  July  22,  2010,  Toyota  was  sued  in  the 
Superior Court of the State of California, County 
of  Los  Angeles  in  a  putative  bondholder  class 
action filed on behalf of purchasers of Toyota and 
Toyota Motor Credit Corporation bonds traded on 
foreign  securities  exchanges.  The  complaint 
alleges  violations  of  California  securities  law, 
fraud,  breach  of  fiduciary  duty,  and  other  state 
law  claims.  On  September  15,  2010,  Toyota 
removed the putative bondholder class action to 
the  United  States  District  Court  for  the  Central 
District  of  California.  On  January  10,  2011,  the 
District Court issued an order dismissing the case 
with prejudice, and entered judgment in favor of 
defendants. Plaintiff has filed a notice of appeal to 
the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the 
Ninth Circuit.

Toyota  believes 

it  has  meritorious 
that 
defenses  to  all  of  the  cases  and  will  vigorously 
defend against them.

Government Investigations

In  February  2010,  Toyota  received  a  subpoena 
from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of 
New York and a voluntary request and subpoena 
the  U.S.  Securities  and  Exchange 
from 

Commission  (“SEC”).  The  subpoenas  and  the 
voluntary  request  primarily  seek  documents 
related  to  unintended  acceleration  and  certain 
financial records. This is a coordinated investiga-
tion  and  has  included  interviews  of  Toyota  and 
non-Toyota  witnesses,  as  well  as  production  of 
documents.  In  June  2010,  Toyota  received  a 
second voluntary request and subpoena from the 
SEC and a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney for 
the Southern District of New York. The subpoenas 
and the voluntary request primarily seek produc-
tion  of  documents  related  to  the  recalls  of  the 
steering relay rod.

During the first two quarters of calendar year 
2010,  Toyota  received  four  inquires  from  the 
National  Highway  Traffic  Safety  Administration 
(“NHTSA”). The first two, TQ10-001 and TQ10-002, 
address  the  timing  of  the  announcement  of  the 
recalls  related  to  floor  mat  entrapment  and 
sticking  accelerator  pedals,  respectively.  The 
third,  RQ10-003,  addresses  the  scope  of  the 
recalls  and  unintended  acceleration  generally. 
On April 19, 2010, Toyota and NHTSA announced 
a  settlement  resolving  TQ10-002  pursuant  to 
which  Toyota  paid  $16.4  million  to  the  U.S. 
Treasury.  Toyota  denied  the  allegations  that  it 
violated  the  Motor  Vehicle  Safety  Act  or  its 
implementing regulations but agreed to the settle-
ment  to  avoid  a  protracted  dispute  and  to 
concentrate on regaining customer confidence.
  On May 10, 2010, Toyota received an inquiry 
from NHTSA on the timing of its announcement of 
the 2005 recall of certain pickup trucks and sport 
utility vehicles for a possible issue with the steering 
relay  rod  (TQ10-004).  On  December  20,  2010, 
Toyota  and  NHTSA  announced  that  they  had 
reached  a  settlement  with  respect  to  TQ10-001 
and  TQ10-004  pursuant  to  which  Toyota  paid 
approximately  $32.4  million  in  the  aggregate  to 
the U.S. Treasury. As in the April 2010 settlement

resolving TQ10-002, Toyota denied that it violated 
the Motor Vehicle Safety Act or its implementing 
regulations but agreed to the settlement to avoid 
a  protracted  dispute  and  to  concentrate  on 
regaining  customer  confidence.  In  addition,  on 
March 1, 2011, RQ10-003 was officially resolved.
Toyota  has  also  received  subpoenas  and 
formal and informal requests from various states’ 
attorneys  general, 
the  Executive 
Committee  for  a  group  of  28  states’  attorney 
general, and certain local governmental agencies 
regarding various recalls, the facts underlying its 
recent  recalls  and  customer  handling  related  to 
those recalls.

including 

Toyota  is  cooperating  with  the  government 
agencies in their investigations, which, except as 
noted above, are on-going.

The  recalls  and  other  safety  measures 
described above have led to a number of claims, 
lawsuits  and  government  investigations  against 
Toyota  in  the  United  States  as  set  forth  in  the 
preceding  paragraphs.  Amounts  accrued  as  of 
March  31,  2011  related  to  these  legal  proceed-
ings  and  governmental  investigations  are  not 
material  to  Toyota’s  financial  position,  results  of 
operations, or cash flow. Toyota cannot currently 
estimate  its  potential  liability,  damages  or  range 
of  potential  loss,  if  any,  beyond  the  amounts 
accrued; however, the resolution of these matters 
could have an adverse effect on Toyota’s financial 
position, results of operations or cash flows.

on behalf of all purchasers of new motor vehicles 
who purchased their vehicles in the United States 
on or after January 1, 2001. As of April 1, 2005, 
the federal lawsuits were consolidated in the State 
of  Maine,  and  lawsuits  in  the  State  of  California 
and  the  State  of  New  Jersey  were  also  consoli-
dated within the respective states. Lawsuits in the 
state  courts  have  been  stayed  until  the  federal 
lawsuits proceed.

The  complaints  allege  that  the  defendants 
violated  the  Sherman  Antitrust  Act  or  state 
anti-trust  law  by  conspiring  among  themselves 
and with their dealers to prevent the sale to United 
States  citizens  of  vehicles  produced  for  the 
Canadian  market,  resulting  in  higher  prices  to 
United States consumers. Toyota believes that its
actions  have  been  lawful.  In  the  interest  of 
resolving  these  legal  actions,  however,  Toyota 
entered  into  a  settlement  agreement  with  the 
plaintiffs 
in  February  2006.  The  settlement 
agreement remains subject to court approval. In 
the meantime, the federal court granted summary 
judgment  in  favor  of  the  remaining  defendants 
and the time to appeal has lapsed. Current activity 
is centered in the California state courts, although 
that  action  is  stayed  against  Toyota  pending  a 
ruling  on  the  pending  Toyota  settlement.  In 
February  2011,  the  federal  court  held  a  hearing 
with  respect  to  approval  of  Toyota’s  settlement 
agreement.  If  final  approval  is  granted,  that 
approval should resolve this matter for Toyota.

United States Antitrust Proceedings

Other Proceedings

In February 2003, Toyota, GM, Ford, DaimlerChrysler, 
Honda, Nissan, BMW and their sales subsidiaries 
in the United States and Canada, as well as the 
National Automobile Dealers Association and the 
Canadian  Automobile  Dealers  Association  were 
named  as  defendants  in  approximately  85 
purported federal and state class action lawsuits 

Toyota  has  various  other  legal  actions,  other 
governmental  proceedings  and  other  claims 
pending against it, including other product liability 
claims in the United States. Although the claimants 
in some of these actions seek potentially substan-
tial damages, Toyota cannot currently estimate its 
potential  liability,  damages  or  range  of  potential 

loss,  if  any,  beyond  the  amounts  accrued,  with 
respect  to  these  claims.  However,  based  upon 
information  currently  available  to  Toyota,  Toyota 
believes that its losses from these matters, if any, 
would  not  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on 
Toyota’s financial position, results of operations or 
cash flows.

Environmental Matters and Others

implementing 

In  October  2000,  the  European  Union  brought 
into effect a directive that requires member states 
to  promulgate  regulations 
the 
following:  (i)  manufacturers  shall  bear  all  or  a 
significant  part  of  the  costs  for  taking  back 
end-of-life vehicles put on the market after July 1, 
those 
2002  and  dismantling  and  recycling 
vehicles. Beginning January 1, 2007, this require-
ment  became  applicable  to  vehicles  put  on  the 
market  before  July  1,  2002;  (ii)  manufacturers 
may  not  use  certain  hazardous  materials  in 
vehicles  to  be  sold  after  July  2003;  (iii)  vehicles 
type-approved  and  put  on  the  market  after 
December  15,  2008,  shall  be  re-usable  and/or 
recyclable  to  a  minimum  of  85%  by  weight  per 
vehicle and shall be re-usable and/or recoverable 
to a minimum of 95% by weight per vehicle; and 
(iv) end-of-life vehicles must meet actual re-use of 
80%  and  re-use  as  material  or  energy  of  85%, 
respectively,  of  vehicle  weight  by  2006,  rising 
respectively to 85% and 95% by 2015. A law to 
implement  the  directive  came  into  effect  in  all 
member states including Bulgaria, Romania that 
joined  the  European  Union  in  January  2007. 
Currently, there are uncertainties surrounding the 
implementation  of  the  applicable  regulations  in 
different European Union member states, particu-
larly  regarding  manufacturer  responsibilities  and 
resultant expenses that may be incurred.

In  addition,  under  this  directive  member 
states  must  take  measures  to  ensure  that  car 

manufacturers, distributors and other auto-related 
economic  operators  establish  adequate  used 
vehicle  collection  and  treatment  facilities  and  to 
ensure  that  hazardous  materials  and  recyclable 
parts  are  removed 
to 
shredding.  This  directive 
impacts  Toyota’s 
vehicles sold in the European Union and Toyota is 
introducing  vehicles  that  are  in  compliance  with 
such  measures  taken  by  the  member  states 
pursuant to the directive.

from  vehicles  prior 

Based  on  the  legislation  that  has  been 
enacted  to  date,  Toyota  has  provided  for  its 
estimated  liability  related  to  covered  vehicles  in 
existence  as  of  March  31,  2011.  Depending  on 
the legislation that will be enacted subject to other 
circumstances, Toyota may be required to revise 
the  accruals  for  the  expected  costs.  Although 
Toyota  does  not  expect  its  compliance  with  the 
directive to result in significant cash expenditures, 
Toyota is continuing to assess the impact of this 
future legislation on its results of operations, cash 
flows and financial position.

Toyota  purchases  materials  that  are  equiva-
lent to approximately 10% of material costs from a 
supplier which is an affiliated company.

The parent company has a concentration of 
labor supply in employees working under collec-
tive  bargaining  agreements  and  a  substantial 
portion of these employees are working under the 
agreement that will expire on December 31, 2011.

Assumed  exercise  of  certain  stock  options 
was  not  included  in  the  computation  of  diluted 
net loss attributable to Toyota Motor Corporation 
per  share  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  2009 
because  it  had  an  antidilutive  effect  due  to  the 
net loss attributable to Toyota Motor Corporation 
for the period.

Certain stock options were not included in the 
computation of diluted net income attributable to 

Toyota Motor Corporation per share for the years 
ended  March  31,  2010  and  2011  because  the 
options’  exercise  prices  were  greater  than  the 
average market price per common share during

Marketable securities and other securities invest-

include  76%  of  Japanese  government  bonds, 
and  24%  of  U.S.  and  European  government 
bonds as of March 31, 2010, and 77% of Japanese 
government  bonds,  and  23%  of  U.S.  and 
European  government  bonds  as  of  March  31, 
2011.  Listed  stocks  on  the  Japanese  stock 
markets  represent  88%  and  86%  of  common 
stocks  as  of  March  31,  2010  and  2011,  respec-
tively.  Toyota  uses  quoted  market  prices  for 
identical  assets  to  measure  fair  value  of  these 
securities. “Other” includes primarily commercial 
paper.  Generally,  Toyota  uses  quoted  market 
prices  for  similar  assets  or  quoted  non-active 
market prices for identical assets to measure fair 
value  of  these  securities.  As  of  March  31,  2010, 
marketable securities and other securities invest-
ments  classified  as  Level  3  primarily  included 
retained  interests  in  securitized  financial  receiv-
ables,  which  are  measured  at  fair  value  using

See  note  20 
the  consolidated  financial 
statements about derivative financial instruments. 
Toyota  estimates  the  fair  value  of  derivative 
financial 
industry-standard 
valuation  models  that  require  observable  inputs 
including  interest  rates  and  foreign  exchange 
rates,  and  the  contractual  terms.  The  usage  of 
these  models  does  not 
require  significant 
judgment  to  be  applied.  In  other  certain  cases 
when  market  data  is  not  available,  key  inputs  to 
the  fair  value  measurement  include  quotes  from 
counterparties,  and  other  market  data.  Toyota 
assesses the reasonableness of changes of the 
quotes  using  observable  market  data.  Toyota’s 
fair  value  measurements  consider 
derivative 
assumptions  about  counterparty  and  our  own 
non-performance  risk,  using  such  as  credit

million) based on the collateral value, resulting in 
loss of ¥2,485 million and gain of ¥2,083 million 
($25  million).  This  fair  value  measurement  on  a 
nonrecurring basis was classified as level 3.

During the year ended March 31, 2010, Toyota 
measured certain investment in affiliated company 
at  fair  value  of  ¥119,821  million  based  on  the

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Message/Vision

Performance Review

Management and

Financial Section and 
Investor Information

0708

Toyota’s  management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  effective  internal  control  over 
financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable 
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for 
external  purposes  in  accordance  with  U.S.  GAAP.  Toyota’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting 
includes those policies and procedures that:

1)  pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the 

transactions and dispositions of Toyota’s assets;

2)  provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation 
of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that Toyota’s receipts and expenditures 
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of Toyota’s management and directors; and
3)  provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisi-
tion,  use,  or  disposition  of  Toyota’s  assets  that  could  have  a  material  effect  on  the  financial 
statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect 
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk 
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compli-
ance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

Toyota’s management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial 
reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee 
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that Toyota’s internal control over financial reporting 

was effective as of March 31, 2011.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Aarata, an independent registered public accounting firm that audited the 
consolidated financial statements included in this report, has also audited the effectiveness of Toyota’s 
internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011, as stated in its report included herein.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements 
of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position 
of Toyota Motor Corporation and its subsidiaries at March 31, 2010 and 2011, and the results of their 
operations  and  their  cash  flows  for  each  of  the  three  years  in  the  period  ended  March  31,  2011  in 
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our 
opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting 
as of March 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued 
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s 
management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over 
financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, 
included in  the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. 
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal 
control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance 
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards 
require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial 
statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting 
was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a 
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the 
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining 
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness 
exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the 
assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary 
in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable 
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for 
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal 
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance 
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the 
assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to 
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, 
and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authoriza-
tions of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding 
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets 
that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect 
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk 
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compli-
ance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
