Toyota Global Vision

The“Toyota  Global  Vision ”announced  in  March  2011,  is  an  articulation  of  what  kind  of 
company we want to be — what kind of company we ought to be. It clarifies our value, “we 
want Toyota to be a company that customers choose and brings a smile to every customer 
who chooses it.” The‘ Toyota Global Vision’is a distillation of our resolve at Toyota for 
the future.

Rewarded with a smile
by exceeding your expectations

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.

Backdrop and Progress

In the backdrop of this vision, there is our fall into the red after the Lehman Brothers collapse, as 
well as our reflection over a series of quality problems. 

To unite all Toyota together to advance our efforts for the recovery of business performance, we 
came to realize the necessity of having a dream or a path that we should take that all people who 
work for Toyota could have in common, one that would define what kind of company we want to 
be ̶ what kind of company we should be.

We also keenly felt the importance of making what kind of company we are and what kind of values 
we  hold  known  to  all  our  customers.  Based  on  our  ideal  for  Toyota,  the  members  of  our  team 
gathered to discuss and finalize the vision. This is a distillation of our resolve at Toyota.

Toyota Visionary Management

The image of a tree has been chosen to symbolize the Toyota Global vision ̶ its“roots to fruits”.

The roots of the tree are the shared values that have steered Toyota from the beginning and that 
have underlain our monozukuri. They are values expressed in the Toyoda Precepts, in the Guiding 
Principles at Toyota, and in the Toyota Way, which are the basis of our business.

The“fruit”that Toyota provides for customers is creating“always better cars”and enriching lives in 
communities.

Through the efforts, we aim to become an admired and trusted company in the various regions 
where we conduct businesses.

The“trunk”of the tree, the underlying support for Toyota’s creating of products that earn smiles 
from our customers, is the stable base of business.

Toyota’s business activities are based on the concept, ensure sustainable growth by fostering the 
virtuous circle, Always better cars → Enriching lives of communities → Stable base of business.

The Etios was born in 2010 in India of the concept of

of a team mostly composed of Indian engineers. 
Toyota launched the Etios in the South Africa market 
in April 2012 and total Etios sales in India reached 
100,000 units as of the end of May.
Toyota is pursuing initiatives so that consumers in 
emerging markets worldwide can embrace the Etios. 
The Etios will be made in two countries beginning in 
the second half of this year, with production planned 
to commence in Brazil.
Toyota will continue to listen closely to consumer 
feedback and input in emerging markets as well as 
other countries in our drive to build ever-better cars.

Toyota’s Unchanging Corporate Stance

Continuing to 
offer consumers 
products 
that exceed 
expectations

Since our founding, Toyota has continuously strived to contribute to sustainable 
development at both the community and global level by providing innovative, 
high-quality products and services.
The Toyota Global Vision represents the commitment to continuous growth through a cycle, 
founded upon the spirit of monozukuri (conscientious manufacturing) maintained 
throughout our history, that consists of making better cars, building better communities 
and a better society, and establishing a stable business base. 
We believe that our theme—“Taking on Change”—represents an evolutionary process for 
Toyota that is anchored in our unceasing commitment to our core business policies and 
practices such as “the customer is No. 1” and genchi genbutsu (onsite, hands-on experience).

Changes for Making Ever-Better Cars

President's Message

We  continued,  during  a  difficult 
management  environment,  to  work 
to  make  cars  that  would  bring 
smiles to people who choose Toyota. 
Management centered on the “better 
cars” as described in our Global Vision 
brings the profitability and production 
output  that  starts  a  cycle  leading  to 
investment  in  “ever-better  cars.”  We 
shall continue to forge ahead, without 
ever turning back. 

Toyota's Medium- to Long-Term Growth Initiatives

We  will  strengthen  our  management 
based on the Global Vision as well as 
strengthen our efforts to make better 
cars. We aim to quickly build a strong 
revenue  base  in  the  short  term  by 
enhancing our ability to counteract the 
strong  yen.  At  the  same  time,  as  our 
medium- to long-term efforts we will 
push forward with the reforming of our 
corporate culture and the progress of 
our development, design, procurement 
and  production 
technologies,  as 
well  as  with  the  development  of  our 
emerging market business.

We  are  strengthening  our  global 
supply  system  in  emerging  markets 
so  as  to  achieve  an  overall  emerging 
market  sales  ratio  for  TMC  of  50% 
by 2015, to achieve a system that will 
enable  the  output  of  three-million 
vehicles  (the  same  level  as  that  in 
Japan)  by  2013.  We  will  proceed  with 
carmaking  responsive  to  local  needs 
and expand sales by actively releasing 
IMVs,  global  vehicles  and  compact 
for 
vehicles  specifically  designed 
emerging markets.

President's Message

Making Ever-Better Cars that Exceed 
Expectations

I first would like to express my sincere gratitude for your ongoing support and understanding of 

our company. 

No  matter  how  harsh  the  business  environment  becomes,  Toyota  has  always  strived  to 

make ever-better cars that exceed expectations and bring smiles to those who choose them.

Despite the impact of the very strong yen in FY2012, thanks to concerted efforts throughout the 

whole Toyota group of companies, we have made much progress in our efforts to improve our profit 

structure and establish a robust profit foundation through activities such as cost improvement. 

We  are  also  fulfilling  our  social  responsibilities  by  making  cars  in  ways  that  meet  strict 

environmental and safety standards and also meet societyʼs expectations.

As  stated  in  the  Toyota  Global  Vision  announced  last  year,  making  ever-better  cars  and 

contributing to the betterment of towns and communities leads to a stable business base.  This 

is the Toyota approach to business:  Achieving sustainable growth through a virtuous cycle. I 

believe the new cars we launched this year show the direction we are headed in.

It is likely that the very difficult business environment the world is facing now will continue. 

All 320,000 of us at Toyota around the world will work as one, to be a company that can realize 

sustainable  growth.  Toyota  will  move  forward,  never  turning  back.  I,  and  everyone  at  Toyota, 

request your continued and ongoing support.

We are reforming our development structure so as to make better cars. We thoroughly research 

the factors that go into making a better car, and have divided our carmaking into four zones: cars 

specialized to meet tastes and car sense (especially sports cars); fleet and personal transportation 

vehicles; trucks, buses, and other vehicles with a social purpose; and finally, next-generation 

vehicles, such as green vehicles and concepts. We try to come up with better cars for each zone

Toyota’s Medium- to Long-Term Growth Initiatives Ⅱ: Innovation in production technology 

More competitive and flexible
Reforming the Monozukuri Structure 
for Making Better Cars

Toyota’s DNA: 
Toyota Production System

Toyota is undertaking monozukuri (conscientious manufacturing) structure reforms in the field 

of production technology. We work to make better cars and to deliver good quality, affordably 

priced vehicles that are both exciting and environment-friendly. By providing safety and security 

we bring smiles to faces. Our efforts are based on the twin perspectives of good carmaking and 

competitive manufacturing. 

Our primary effort, “making ever-better cars”, means 

overcoming the technical hurdles faced by products conceived 

by technology departments in areas such as attractive design, 

performance, and environmental technology. 

Next, competitive manufacturing depends on making 

from these approaches.

better cars that provide good quality at an affordable price, 

and ensuring cost-competitiveness that can withstand 

the rising value of the yen. 

The  foundation  of  our  reforms  of  the  monozukuri 

structure  is  the  Toyota  Production  System,  which  is 

in  our  corporate  DNA.  This  can  be  summed  up  by 

automation  and  Just-in-Time.  Automation  originally 

meant  being  able  to  stop  equipment  the  instant  a

* IMV stands for “Innovative International Multipurpose Vehicle”. The name is based on our intention to create multipurpose vehicles 

that will meet the needs of consumers worldwide. 

Strengths of the IMV Project 

The aims of the IMV Project are product appeal, low cost and efficiency, followed 
by  exchange-rate-fluctuation  response  capability.  Toyota  aims  to  enhance 
product  value  by  developing  specialized  models  optimized  to  the  tastes  and 
environments of consumers in emerging markets. We have also sought to reduce 
costs and gain efficiency by consolidating production, transitioning from small-
scale production at 11 companies to large-scale production at four global supply 
bases. We are coping with the ever-strengthening yen  by creating a structure 
that maximizes local procurement.

The IMV Project is currently accelerating the process of globalizing production 
and  supply.  Among  the  four  global  supply  bases,  Thailand  serves  as  the  base 
for Asia, with the other global sites handling exports throughout the rest of the 
world, such as to Oceania, Europe, the Middle East, and Central/South America, 
developing into centralized bases. Localized procurement is also evolving, so that 
parts procurement is not handled within individual countries, but rather through 
a globally optimized procurement structure for parts.
  Asia makes up half of the sales of the IMV series, but sales in the Middle East, 
Africa, and Central/South America are also solid, with sales structures based on 
locally made core models. Production capacity recovered comparatively quickly 
amidst the supply shortages caused by the Japan Earthquake and Thailand floods 
in  2011,  with  the  number  of  vehicles  sold  increasing  greatly.  As  a  result,  sales 
improved from 460,000 in 2005 in the immediate aftermath of the IMV Project 
launch to 770,000 in 2011, and with markets predicted to grow from 2012 on, 
sales are also expected to increase.

this  means  in  practical  terms  is  that  we  will 

follow  on  from  the  IMV  Project  by  strengthening 

our  production  and  supply  bases  for  compact 

compact  vehicle  strategy  that  emphasizes  the 

compact  vehicle  lineup  and  seeks  to  meet  the 

needs of consumers in emerging markets.

Efforts  we  are  making  include  the  launch 

of  eight  compact  vehicle  models  specifically 

designed for emerging markets, starting with the 

Etios in India in December 2012. There are plans 

to produce compact vehicles in emerging markets 

and deliver a total of more than 1 million vehicles a 

Localization Initiatives

Toyota believes that ensuring cost competitiveness 

by  achieving  thorough  localization  is  necessary 

to  making  further  progress  in  intra-  and  extra-

regional  exports.  We  therefore  are  maximizing 

local  R&D  functions,  and  seek  to  achieve  local/

regional procurement rates of 100% at the earliest

competitiveness. 

Direction of Future Efforts

Asia as Toyota’s Second Mother Base and 
as a Production Base

- Production and supply base for compact vehicles, 
  following on the success of the IMV Project
- Localization, including R&D 

New Compact Vehicle Strategy

The  automobile  market  in  emerging  markets  is 

growing each year in tandem with the economic 

growth  of  each  country.  Within  those  markets, 

there  has  been  marked  growth  in  the  sales  of 

compact vehicles, so Toyota is promoting a new 

the compact Etios sedan and Etios Liva hatchback 

models to South Africa via Toyota Kirloskar Motors

Future Efforts in Emerging Markets
2) Future Efforts in Each Market

Russia

Russia  is  among  the  markets  with  the  greatest  potential,  not  only  in 

Europe,  but  in  the  world.  Toyota  has  gained  experience  and  acclaim 

from  Russian  customers  for  our  core  models,  such  as  the  Camry  and 

Land Cruiser Prado, and we are making steady progress in localization. 

We  plan  to  contribute  to  the  growth  of  the  Russian  auto  industry  by 

increasing  production  of  the  Camry  by  Toyota  Motors  Manufacturing 

Russia (TMMR), and also by starting local assembly of the Land Cruiser 

Prado in the Russian far east city of Vladivostok at the end of this year.  

India

Toyota’s  definition  of“Asia”(for  business  purposes)  does

In 2012, this market is expected to recover from the impact

of  the  region’s  growing  consumer

Africa

Africa, where economies and populations 

are  steadily  growing,  is  seen  as  a  market

Brazil

We  have  established  a  new  plant  in 

Sorocaba,  in  the  state  of  São  Paulo, 

Brazil,  and  beginning  in  the  second 
half  of  2012,  we  will  produce  and  sell 

the  Etios,  a  new  compact  model.  In 

the  future  we  will  offer  products  that 

meet  the  needs  of  a  broad  array  of 

consumers.  Our  goal  is  to  steadily 

expand  and  cultivate  the  Brazilian 

market  through  corporate  activities 

deeply  rooted  in  the  region,  such  as 

localized production.

Consolidated Financial Results

Consolidated  vehicle  sales  in  Japan  and 
overseas  increased  by  44  thousand  units, 
or  0.6%,  to  7,352  thousand  units  compared 
to  the  previous  fiscal  year.  Vehicle  sales  in 
Japan  increased  by  158  thousand  units, 
or  8.2%  year-on-year,  due  to  aggressive 
new  product  launches  and  the  efforts  of 
dealers nationwide. Market share, including 
mini-vehicles, retained a high level at 43.2%. 
Meanwhile,  despite  an  expansion  of  sales 
in  Asia,  lower  sales  in  North  America  and 

other  regions  resulted  in  a  decrease  in 
overseas vehicle sales of 114 thousand units, 
or  2.1%  year-on-year.  As  for  the  results 
of  operations,  net  revenues  decreased 
by  2.2%,  to  ¥18,583.6  billion  for  the  fiscal 
year  compared  to  the  previous  year,  and 
operating  income  decreased  by  24.1%,  to 
¥355.6  billion.  Net  income  attributable  to 
Toyota  Motor  Corporation  decreased  by 
30.5%, to ¥283.5 billion.

Toyota was heavily impacted by the Great

floods, but through combined efforts with 
our  group  companies,  we  were  able  to 
return to normal operations quicker than 
originally expected. Toyota remained able to 
build better cars that exceed expectations, 
even under such harsh conditions.

Market Environment and 
Performance Summary

year-on-year, to ¥21.6 billion.

Performance  by  geographic  segment  was 

Despite bullish automotive markets in the U.S. 
and  emerging  markets  in  Asia  and  elsewhere 
during the fiscal year under review, the majority 
of  Japanese  automakers, 
including  Toyota, 
suffered the twin impact of the Great East Japan 
Earthquake  and  the  Thailand  floods.  These 
events  caused  supply  limitations  and  made 
production  adjustments  and  temporary  halts 
unavoidable.  Despite  the  difficult  conditions, 
Toyota launched new products that clearly speak 
to the needs of consumers in Japan and around 
the world. One such new model was a compact-
class  dedicated  hybrid  vehicle  that  achieves 
world-class fuel economy. We also launched a 
next-generation  sports  car  that  pursues  pure 
driving  enjoyment.  In  addition,  Toyota  worked 
with  dealers  throughout  the  world  to  actively 
develop sales initiatives.

As a result, consolidated vehicle sales both 
in Japan and overseas (including Daihatsu and 
Hino) reached 7,352 thousand units, an increase 
of 44 thousand units, or 0.6%, over the previous 
fiscal year. Consolidated vehicle production also 
increased, rising by 266 thousand units, or 3.7% 
year-on-year, to 7,435 thousand units. 
  Net  revenues  decreased  ¥342.7  billion,  or 
2.0% year-on-year, to ¥16,994.5 billion. Despite 
cost-reduction  efforts,  due  to  the  impact  of 
currency  exchange  fluctuations  operating 
income  was  down  ¥64.3  billion  or  74.8% 

as follows.

Japan

In  fiscal  2012,  due  to  active  new  product 
campaigns and the efforts of dealers nationwide, 
consolidated vehicle sales in Japan increased by 
158 thousand units, or 8.2%, to 2,071 thousand 
units. Market share for Toyota and Lexus brands, 
excluding  mini-vehicles,  was  45.5%,  while  the 
share including mini-vehicles (including Daihatsu 
and Hino) was 43.2%, indicating a strong market 
share  continuing  from  the  previous  fiscal  year. 
Sales of the Lexus brand were approximately 45 
thousand units. Consolidated vehicle production 
was up 219 thousand units, or 5.9% year-on-year, 
to 3,940 thousand units.

As  a  result,  net  revenues  were  ¥11,167.3 
billion,  an  increase  of  ¥181.0  billion  or  1.6% 
year-on-year. The operating loss of ¥207.0 billion 
represents  a  ¥155.3  billion  improvement  over 
the  previous  fiscal  year.  Despite  the  impact  of 
currency  exchange  fluctuations,  cost-reduction 
efforts  and  increases  in  production  and  units 
sold resulted in the decrease in operating losses. 

North America

Consolidated vehicle sales in North America in 
fiscal  2012  decreased  by  159  thousand  units, 
or  7.8%  year-on-year,  to  1,872  thousand  units, 

with supply shortages caused by the Great East 
Japan Earthquake in the first half having a major 
impact. 2011 market share in the United States 
was 12.9%. Sales of the Lexus brand in North 
America  were  at  approximately  214  thousand 
units.  Consolidated  vehicle  production  was 
1,275  thousand  units,  a  63  thousand-unit  or 
4.8% decrease year-on-year.

As  a  result,  net  revenues  were  ¥4,751.8 
billion,  a  decrease  of  ¥677.2  billion  or  12.5% 
year-on-year.  Due  to  decreases  in  production 
and  units  sold,  as  well  as  the  impact  of  gains 
or  losses  on  doubtful  accounts  of  our  dealer 
finance  subsidiary 
the  United  States, 
in 
operating  income  was  down  ¥153.0  billion,  or 
45.1% year-on-year.

Europe

Consolidated  vehicle  sales  in  Europe  in  fiscal 
2012  rose  2  thousand  units,  or  0.3%  year-on-
year, to 798 thousand units. Toyotaʼs European 
market  share  (2011;  about  40  countries)  was 
4.2%.  Lexus  sales  totaled  approximately  47 
thousand units. Consolidated vehicle production 
increased 11 thousand units, or 3.2% year-on-
year, to 383 thousand units.

As  a  result,  net  revenues  increased  ¥12.4 
billion, or 0.6% year-on-year, to ¥1,993.9 billion. 
Operating income was ¥17.7 billion, an increase 
of ¥4.6 billion, or 35.4% year-on-year.

Asia

Despite  a  decrease  in  sales  (mainly  of  IMVs) 
caused  by  supply  shortages  resulting  from 
the Thailand floods, consolidated vehicle sales 
in  Asia  in  fiscal  2012  rose  72  thousand  units, 
or 5.7% year-on-year, to 1,327 thousand units, 
setting  a  new  record.  This  was  due  in  part  to 
strong sales of the Etios in India. Consolidated 
vehicle production was up 97 thousand units, or 
7.2% year-on-year, to 1,441 thousand units. 

As  a  result,  net  revenues  were  ¥3,334.2 
billion, a decline of ¥40.3 billion or 1.2% year-on-
year.  Operating  income  was  also  down  ¥56.2 
billion, or 18.0% year-on-year, due to increased 
expenses.  Sales  in  China,  which  continues  to 
experience  strong  economic  growth,  reached 
883  thousand  units  in  2011,  a  year-on-year 
increase of 4.4%.

Note:	Unit	sales	figures	for	China	include	domestically	produced	

units	as	well	as	units	imported	from	Japan.

Other Regions 
(such as Central and South America, 
Oceania, Africa, the Middle East)

Consolidated  sales  for  these  regions  in  fiscal 
2012 totaled 1,284 thousand units, a decrease of 
29 thousand or 2.2% year-on-year. Consolidated 
vehicle production was 396 thousand units, an 
increase of 2 thousand or 0.4% compared with 
the previous year. 

As a result, net revenue was ¥1,760.1 billion, 
a year-on-year decrease of 2.7% or ¥48.9 billion, 
while operating income was also lower by ¥51.3 
billion or 32.0% year-on-year, to ¥108.8 billion.

Note: Fiscal years ended March 31

In fiscal 2012, our financial services operations 
generated  operating  income  of  ¥306.4  billion. 
This was primarily due to an increase in financing 
volume  and  broad  improvement  in  expenses 
related  to  loan  losses  and  residual  value. 
Toyota's  financial  services  operations  are 
primarily handled by Toyota Financial Services 
Corporation (TFS), which has overall control of 
financial  services  subsidiaries  worldwide.  TFS 
provides financial services primarily for vehicle 
purchases  and  leases  to  approximately  8.6 
million customers in 34 countries and regions 
worldwide.

During the period under review, we continued 
with  last  year's  efforts  to  strengthen  regional 
strategies  by  enhancing  our  relationships  with 
distributors  through  the  provision  of  financial 
products and services meeting various national 
and  regional  customer  characteristics.  We 
continued  to  broaden  our  connections  with 
customers in Japan, responding to their needs by 
offering ready access to sound financial services 
such as credit cards and housing loans in addition 
to automotive financing.

TFS's  overseas  efforts 

include  active 
development of emerging markets.  In India, TFS 
established  a  local  subsidiary  in  India  in  May 
2011. TFS increased its number of sales bases in 
China  to  196  cities,  progressing  inland  from 
coastal cities to the interior of the country.  

In such major markets as Europe and the 
United  States,  TFS  aims  to  ensure  stable 
earnings  by  working  to  secure  margins  and 
achieve  thorough  low-cost  operations  with 
consideration for vehicle sales support and the 
balancing of business risks.

To  respond  to  dramatic  changes  in  the 
business  environment,  TFS  will  strengthen 
group-wide compliance and risk management 
structures while focusing on enhancements to 
its  business  platform,  such  as  IT  platform 
development  and  human  resource  cultivation 
in management.

Market Environment and 
Performance Summary

Net  revenues  for  non-automotive  business 
operations  rose  ¥76.6  billion,  or  7.9%  year  on 
year, to ¥1,489 billion, whereas operating income 
improved to ¥42 billion, an increase of ¥6.8 billion, 
or 19.4%, compared with the previous fiscal year.
  Non-automotive  business 
operations 
include  Intelligent  Transport  Systems  (ITS), 
information technology and telecommunications, 
e-TOYOTA,  housing,  marine,  and  biotechnology 
and  afforestation  businesses.  In  each  of  these 
operations we are fostering a workplace culture 
that encourages creativity and entrepreneurship. 
Also,  we  are  seeking  ideas  for  new  businesses 
outside  the  Toyota  group  of  companies  as 
another key aspect in the creation of future core 
businesses.

In  2009,  we  helped  create  a  practical 
vehicle-infrastructure  cooperative  system  for 
safe driving that prevents traffic accidents more 
effectively  than  current  safety  technologies. 
In  conjunction  with  this,  Toyota  developed  an 
onboard  communications  device,  mainly  for 
expressway  use,  compatible  with  the  ITS  Spot 
Service.  Also,  in  2011  Toyota  commercialized 
the  Driving  Safety  Support  System (DSSS),  an 
onboard navigation system for public highways. 
We  will  continue  to  increase  the  number  of 
models equipped with this device.

Toyota is also engaging in R&D for vehicle-
infrastructure  cooperative  systems,  such  as 
actively participating in public and private sector 
field trials, so as to bring them into use as soon 
as possible.

is 

involved 

Toyota 
in  the  planning  and 
development  of  products  and  services  for 
Intelligent  Transport  Systems  (ITS).  We  view 
this technology as a valuable way to link motor 
vehicles  and  transportation  infrastructures, 
thereby  contributing  to  sustainable  economic 
development. 

Toyota  dealers  also  serve  as  sales  points 
for  mobile  phones  and  point-to-point 
telecommunications  services  provided  by  KDDI 
Corporation  at  more  than  7,000  sales  outlets 
(vehicle  dealers,  parts  dealers,  rental  offices, 

and L&F offices) throughout Japan. 

Toyota  is  has  also  been  engaged  in  the 
promotion  of  functions  and  services  that  link 
cars  and  mobile  phones,  such  as  hands-free 
telephones  and  G-BOOK  services,  and  in  2012 
we launched the eCONNECT for the new Prius 
PHV and the Toyota Friend service.

Toyotaʼs 

information 

technology  and 
telecommunications business will come to play 
an  even  more  important  role  as  we  develop 
smart grids that link people, cars and homes.

e-TOYOTA

Toyota 
is  developing  e-TOYOTA  business 
operations  to  facilitate  the  integration  of  IT 
services  and  automobiles.  We  designed  and 
developed the GAZOO members-only automobile 
portal site, a three-dimensional virtual city called 
METAPOLIS  and  other  services.  In  the  field  of 
telematics, we are developing G-BOOK/G-Link, 
an  information  service  for  onboard  terminals, 
with other telematics services planned for China 
and other countries.

eConnect

Toyota Friend

Toyota  is  developing  a  proprietary  telematics 
service  for  linking  people,  vehicles  and  the 
information/telecommunications infrastructure, 
and  we  are  also  launching  a  “linking  service” 
that  works  through  social  networks  and  the 
latest  in  portable  handsets.  In  January  2012, 
we  began  offering  two  new  smartphone 
connection  services  to  owners  of  the  new 
Prius PHV. Toyota Friend is a social networking 
service  that  provides  charging  and  service 
reminders  via  "tweet"-like  alerts,  and  also 
enables  sharing  of  environment-friendly 
driving  data  among  Prius  PHV  users.  The 
other service, eConnect, allows users to check 
vehicle  status  (battery  power  and  EV  range) 
and  locations  of  nearby  charging  stations. 
Toyota  will  continue  to  offer  communications 
services  that  link  people  and  cars,  so  as  to 
bring about a new “mobility society.”

Since  Toyota  entered  the  housing  business  in 
1975, Toyota Housing Corporation has expanded 
to  provide  homes  under  the  name  Toyota 
Home, offering high durability and earthquake 
resistance, as well as excellent security, health 
and  environmental  features.  Toyota  Housing 
Corporation offers environment-friendly homes 
that  conserve  and  create  energy  while  having 
the  durability  to  last  for  many  years,  and  in 
November  2011,  we  began  selling  “smart 
houses,”  comfortable  and  economical  homes 
that combine Toyota technologies to link homes 
and cars. At the same time, Toyota is engaging in 
leading-edge development in a variety of fields, 
such as the operational testing of smart grids.

Note: Effective  October  1,  2010,  all  housing  operation  production 
and technical development functions were transferred from 
Toyota Motor Corporation to Toyota Housing Corporation.

The  Japanese  automobile  industry  faced 
two  major  natural  disasters  in  2011:  the 
Great  East  Japan  Earthquake  and  the 
Thailand  floods.  Toyota  overcame  these 
crises through unified efforts with its group 
companies,  suppliers,  and  dealers,  all 
engaging  in  a  variety  of  efforts  to  restore 
operations  so  as  to  achieve  even  more 
prompt delivery of vehicles to customers.

Impact of the Disasters and 
Subsequent Efforts

The Great East Japan Earthquake

The  Great  East  Japan  Earthquake  of  March 
2011  caused  massive  damage  in  Tohoku 
and  other  regions,  and  had  an  impact  on 
many Japanese companies. Many of Toyotaʼs 
suppliers are located in Tohoku and eastern 
Kanto, and this resulted in a temporary halt of 
production at its domestic vehicle-production 
plants  in  the  immediate  aftermath  of  the 
disaster.

The disaster delayed output through June 
2011 by approximately 760 thousand vehicles 
globally,  but  enlisting  the  entire  company  in 
efforts to restore the supply network enabled 
us  to  recover  output  of  about  600  thousand 
units from July on. Therefore, the total impact 
of the disaster in fiscal 2012 was a decrease 
in output of about 150 thousand vehicles.

Floods in Thailand

The  Thailand  floods  that  began  in  July  2011 
caused  damage  to  Toyotaʼs  suppliers  there 
and  had  an  impact  on  global  production. 
By  adjusting  the  operational  levels  of  each 
production line according to the parts situation, 
we were able to return to normal operations in 
North America by the first half of December 
2011,  and  in  Thailand  by  the  beginning  of 

the 

from 

these 

impact 

2012. As a result, the Thailand floods caused 
a  decrease  in  output  of  about  240  thousand 
vehicles in fiscal 2012.
two 
  While 
disasters was initially estimated to decrease 
output  globally  by  approximately  1  million 
vehicles, output of 600 thousand vehicles was 
recovered  through  a  unified,  companywide 
effort  that  held  the  drop  in  output  to  only 
about  390  thousand  vehicles  (actual  vehicle 
output: 7.52 million).

Disaster Response

Toyota is revising its Business Continuity Plan 
(BCP)  as  needed  to  strengthen  measures 
to  protect  lives  and  maintain  production 
in  the  event  of  a  natural  disaster.  Drawing 
upon lessons learned from the supply chain 
disruptions we experienced due to the Great 
East Japan Earthquake and Thailand floods, 
we conducted a “visualization” analysis of the 
supply  chain,  including  tertiary  and  4th-tier 
launched  measures 
suppliers.  We  then 
such  as  decentralizing  sources  for  at-risk 
parts and converting to generalized designs. 
Our work to further strengthen our disaster 
countermeasures is proceeding from the twin 
perspectives  of  strengthening  our  everyday 
competitiveness  and  building  a  business 
structure able to withstand disasters.

The Great East Japan Earthquake: 
Production Recovery Efforts 

At Toyota, we believe that recovering production is 
impossible  without  revitalizing  communities. 
Therefore,  our  production  recovery-effort  priorities 
were in the following order of priority: 1) Human life; 
2)  Quickly  restoring  stricken  communities;  3) 
Restoring production. Our core measures for post-
quake production restoration were as follows:

(1)  Status assessment (mainly conducted by 

the Purchasing Group)

- We conducted an investigation of all primary 
suppliers, including the impact of issues at 
secondary and tertiary suppliers.

- Dispatched onsite investigation teams to 
confirm production items and inventory.

- Examined the impact on overseas production. 

 The purchasing units within the operations 

confirmed the availability of supplies via the 
primary suppliers.

(2) Support for suppliers

- Provided support for the 200 supply bases 
visited by the onsite investigation teams.
 Support for prompt restoration was 
provided under our policy of immediately 
doing what is truly necessary onsite.

(3) Look into finding substitutes

- Look into finding substitute products, but 
only when restoring onsite production is 
problematic.

- Evaluate substitutes.

All Toyota companies, from suppliers through dealers 
and  overseas  operations,  came  together  to  provide 
support  and  to  restore,  applying  genchi  genbutsu 
(on-site verification) and the power of the workplace 
for  swift  decision-making,  immediate  action  plus 
teamwork.  This  brought  about  a  normalization  of 
operations  far  in  advance  of  predictions,  with 
domestic production at almost normal levels by July 
2011 and fully restored by September.

Toyotaʼs Efforts to Drive the Recovery of 
the Tohoku Region

Toyota is committed to helping the people of Tohoku build a bright future by 
focusing  on  revitalizing  the  auto  industry,  creating  new  businesses  and 
making social contributions.

Revitalizing the auto industry

We  established  Toyota  Motor  East  Japan,  Inc.  in  July  2012  as  our  third 
major  production  base  in  Japan.  It  will  contribute  to  global  growth  by 
building compact vehicles, and join with the Tohoku region in revitalizing the 
economy  through  manufacturing.  In  January  2013,  we  will  establish  the 
Tohoku  Local  Procurement  Promotion  Center  to  join  with  the  region  in 
promoting manufacturing and increase procurement from within the region 
by  finding  and  cultivating  parts  makers.  In  April  2013,  we  will  open  the 
Toyota  East  Japan  Technical  Skills  Academy  for  medium-  to  long-term 
human resource development for manufacturing.

Creating new businesses

Toyota is looking into new businesses to promote revitalization. One example 
of  this  is  the  F-Grid  Concept  for  comprehensive  energy  management. 
Rather  than  managing  the  energy  use  of  individual  factories,  the  F-Grid 
covers energy usage among regional plants as well as coordinating the use 
of  energy  among  plants  and  communities.  The  goal  of  the  F-Grid  is  to 
contribute  to  post-disaster  regional  restoration  by  creating  actual  “smart 
communities” focused on industrial areas, so as to promote higher levels of 
energy conservation and use of renewables. This will revitalize local industry 
by  enhancing  the  value,  competitiveness,  and  appeal  of  industrial  areas 
and surrounding communities.

R&D and Intellectual Property

Toyota R&D is dedicated to the development of 
attractive,  affordable,  high-quality  products 
for  customers  worldwide.  The  intellectual 
property  that  R&D  generates 
is  a  vital 
management  resource  that  Toyota  utilizes 
and protects to maximize its corporate value.

R&D Guiding Principles

●	 Providing clean and safe products 

and enhancing the quality of life of 
people everywhere through all our 
activities. 

●	 Pursuing advanced technological 

development in a wide range of fields, 
we pledge to provide attractive 
products and services that respond to 
the needs of customers worldwide.

R&D Activities

The  overriding  goal  of  Toyotaʼs  technology  and 
product  development  activities  is  to  minimize 
the  negative  aspects  of  driving,  such  as  traffic 
accidents and the burden that automobiles have 
on  the  environment,  and  maximize  the  positive 
aspects,  such  as  driving  pleasure,  comfort,  and 
convenience.  By  achieving  these  sometimes 
conflicting goals to a high degree, we want to open 
the door to the automobile society of the future.

To ensure efficient progress in R&D activities, 
we  coordinate  and  integrate  all  phases,  from 
basic  research  to  forward-looking  technology 

and product development. With respect to such 
basic research issues as energy, the environment, 
telecommunications, 
information 
and  materials,  projects  are  regularly  reviewed 
in  consultation  with  outside 
and  evaluated 
experts to achieve efficient R&D cost control.

technology, 

And with respect to forward-looking, leading-
edge  technology  and  product  development,  we 
establish  cost-performance  benchmarks  on 
a  project-by-project  basis  to  ensure  efficient 
development investment.

R&D Expenditures

In fiscal 2012, R&D expenses totaled ¥779.8 billion, 
up 6.8% from the previous fiscal year, representing 
4.2%  of  consolidated  net  revenues.  We  worked 
closely with suppliers to develop components and 
products more efficiently and took steps to reduce 
our  own  R&D  expenses.  At  the  same  time,  we 

plan to continue making substantial investments 
in  R&D  involving  forward-looking,  leading-edge 
technologies  and  the  development  of  products 
associated  with  the  environment,  energy,  and 
investments  are  essential  to 
safety.  These

technologies and products.

Intellectual Property Guiding Principle

●	 Securing greater corporate flexibility 

and maximizing corporate value 
through the appropriate acquisition 
and utilization of intellectual 
property.

Intellectual Property Activities

Toyotaʼs  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.

Corporate Philosophy

Seeking Harmony between People, Society and the Global Environment, and 
Sustainable Development of Society through Manufacturing

Since its foundation, Toyota has continuously strived 
to  contribute  to  the  sustainable  development  of 
society through the manufacturing and provision of 
innovative,  high-quality  products  and  services  that 
lead the times. The automobile is a wonderful machine 
that  provides  freedom  of  movement.  Nevertheless, 
automobiles have an impact on the environment and 
society. This is something we at Toyota always keep 
in mind, and we try to create harmony among people, 
societies and the environment by listening to what our 
customers  and  local  communities  have  to  say.  Our 
operations are aimed at creating a sustainable society 
through monozukuri (conscientious manufacturing). 
Toyota  develops  and  produces  environment-
friendly vehicles such as hybrid vehicles, and we also 
offer superior accident prevention and collision safety 
features. In addition, Toyota is involved in new businesses, 
such as biotech, afforestation and renewable energy. The 

pillars of our social contribution are “environment,” 
“traffic safety”, and “human resources development.” 
Toyota  seeks  to  be  of  value  to  communities  and  to 
society  through  our  main  lines  of  business,  and  to 
bring smiles to peopleʼs faces.

The Spirit of the Toyoda Precepts, Passed down since Toyota's Founding: 
Contribute to the Sustainable Development of Society

the  essential 
The  Toyoda  Precepts  represent 
philosophy  of  the  founder  of  the  Toyota  group  of 
companies,  Sakichi  Toyoda,  and  are  a  source  of 
spiritual support for Toyota employees. The spirit of 
the Toyoda Precepts is carried on in the Toyota Guiding 
Principles (adopted in 1992 and revised in 1997). 

Toyotaʼs  basic  Corporate  Social  Responsibility 
(CSR)  policy,  which  guides  us  in  our  relations  with 
stakeholders,  is  to  contribute  to  the  sustainable 
development  of  society.  This  phrase  embodies  the 

spirit of the Toyota Guiding Principles, and clarifies 
our  CSR  stance  for  our  stakeholders,  both  within 
and  outside  the  company.  Toyota  subsidiaries  and 
suppliers share this CSR policy, and we expect them 
to adhere to the spirit of the policy in their operations.
Toyota also participated in the formulation of 
the Charter of Corporate Behavior of the Nippon 
Keidanren (Japan Business Federation), which is 
an alliance of Japanese leading corporations, and 
observes the standards outlined therein.

that 

issue.  We  believe 

Toyota  has  positioned  the  stable  long-term 
growth  of  corporate  value  as  a  top-priority 
management 
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  Toyotaʼs  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.

Toyotaʼs 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 Toyotaʼs 

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 
its  management 
made  some  changes  to 
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

fair,  and 

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, 
timely  disclosure 
information,  Toyota  has  established  the 
of 
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  employeesʼ  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  Toyotaʼs 
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

External  Auditors  to  the  Corporate  Auditors

Auditors,  internal  audit,  and  accounting  audit 
by  Independent  External  Auditors  —  aid  in

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 
its  business 
operation process and makes continuous efforts 
to train employees who will put these principles 
into practice.

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 25, 2012, 
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 
in  Fukushima 
at  nuclear  power  plants 
Prefecture (collectively, the “Great East Japan 
Earthquake”). 

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  as 
a  result  of  suspended  operations  at  nuclear 
power plants throughout Japan. The duration 

and  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 
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,  Toyotaʼs 
operations, and demand for Toyotaʼs 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 

terms. 

service  and  financing 
Increased 
competition  may  lead  to  lower  vehicle  unit 
sales, which may result in a further downward 
price  pressure  and  adversely  affect  Toyotaʼs 
financial  condition  and  results  of  operations. 
Toyotaʼs  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  Toyotaʼs  revenues  are  derived  from  sales 
in  markets  worldwide,  economic  conditions 
in  such  markets  are  particularly  important  to 
Toyota.  During  fiscal  2012,  in  Japan,  despite 
continuing  harsh  business  conditions  due  to 
the impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake, 
the  economic  environment 
is  gradually 
recovering  as  a  result  of  various  government 
policies aimed at economic revival following the 
disaster.  In  the  United  States,  there  has  been 
a  gradual  recovery  in  economic  conditions, 
but  in  Europe,  the  economic  environment  is 

at  a  standstill,  due  to  the  ongoing  sovereign 
debt  crisis,  which  has  also  slowed  economic 
development in numerous emerging economies 
throughout  the  world.  Toyota  was  adversely 
affected  by  changes  in  the  market  structures 
of each region 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.  Toyotaʼs  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 
Toyotaʼs  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.

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  Toyotaʼs  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  assurance  that  Toyota  will  be  capable  of 
developing  and  manufacturing  new,  price 
competitive  products  in  a  timely  manner 
with 
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.  Toyotaʼs 
inability  to  develop  and  offer  products  that 
meet  customersʼ  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 

its  available 

technology, 

adversely  affect  Toyotaʼs  financial  condition 
and results of operations. 

Toyota's ability to market and distribute 
effectively is an integral part of Toyotaʼs 
successful sales.

Toyotaʼs  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. Toyotaʼs 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 
customersʼ  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 a 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  Toyotaʼs  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. Toyotaʼs 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  Toyotaʼs  control.  These  factors  include 
the  ability  of  Toyotaʼs  suppliers  to  provide  a 
continued source of supply, and Toyotaʼs ability 
to  effectively  compete  and  obtain  competitive 

prices from suppliers. A loss of any single or 
limited  source  supplier  or  inability  to  obtain 
in  a  timely  and 
supplies  from  suppliers 
cost-effective manner could lead to increased 
costs  or  delays  or  suspensions  in  Toyotaʼs 
production and deliveries, which could have an 
adverse  effect  on  Toyotaʼs  financial  condition 
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  Toyotaʼs  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  Toyotaʼs 
financial services operations. If Toyota is unable 
to  adequately  respond  to  the  changes  and 
competition  in  automobile  financing,  Toyotaʼs 
financial  services  operations  may  adversely 
affect  its  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations. 

Toyotaʼs operations and vehicles rely 
on various digital and information 
technologies.

activities,  including  manufacturing,  research 
and  development,  supply  chain  management, 
sales  and  accounting.  In  addition,  Toyotaʼs 
vehicles  may  rely  on  various  digital  and 
information technologies, including information 
functions. 
service  and  driving  assistance 
Despite security measures, Toyotaʼs digital and 
information  technology  networks  and  systems 
may  be  vulnerable  to  damage,  disruptions  or 
shutdowns due to attacks by hackers, computer 
viruses,  breaches  due  to  unauthorized  use, 
errors or malfeasance by employees and others 
who  have  or  gain  access  to  the  networks  and 
systems Toyota depends on, service failures or 
bankruptcy  of  third  parties  such  as  software 
development  or  cloud  computing  vendors, 
power  shortages  and  outages,  and  utility 
failures or other catastrophic events like natural 
disasters.  Such 
incidents  could  materially 
disrupt  critical  operations,  disclose  sensitive 
data,  interfere  with  information  services  and 
driving assistance functions in Toyotaʼs vehicles, 
and/or give rise to legal claims or proceedings, 
liability or regulatory penalties under applicable 
laws,  which  could  have  an  adverse  effect  on 
Toyotaʼs brand image and 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. Toyotaʼs 
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 Toyotaʼs 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  Toyotaʼs  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, Toyotaʼs financial condition and 
results of operations may be adversely affected. 
Toyota  believes  that  its  use  of  certain 
derivative  financial 
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 

instruments 

fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates 
and  changes  in  interest  rates  may  adversely 
affect Toyotaʼs financial condition and results of 
operations. 

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

Increases in prices for raw materials that Toyota 
and  Toyotaʼs  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  Toyotaʼs  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 Toyotaʼs 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, 

Toyotaʼs  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations may be adversely affected. 

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 Toyotaʼs 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 
including 
significant costs for free repairs. Furthermore, 
new legislation or changes in existing legislation 

incur  various  costs

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, 
Toyotaʼs  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  Toyotaʼs  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 
include  natural  calamities;  political 
risks 
fuel  shortages; 
instability; 
and  economic 
interruption  in  social  infrastructure  including

Fiscal 2012 Business Results

Consolidated Financial Forecasts for Fiscal 2013

On a consolidated basis for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, year-on-year vehicle 
sales  improved  44  thousand  units  to  7.352  million  units.  However,  net  revenues 
decreased  2.2%  to  ¥18,583.6  billion,  operating  income  decreased  ¥112.6  billion  to 
¥355.6 billion, and net income decreased ¥124.6 billion to ¥283.5 billion. 

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, we forecast vehicle sales of 8.7 million 
units, net revenues of ¥22 trillion, operating income of ¥1 trillion and net income 
of ¥760.0 billion on a consolidated basis. The exchange rates assumed for this 
forecast are ¥80 per US$1 and ¥105 per €1.

Factors contributing to the decrease in operating income included ¥250.0 billion due 
to exchange rate fluctuations, ¥100.0 billion due to an increase in expenses including labor 
cost, etc. and ¥62.6 billion due to other factors. Factors contributing to the increase in 
operating income included ¥150.0 billion from marketing efforts and ¥150.0 billion from our 
continuous cost-reduction efforts, including companywide VA (Value Analysis) activities.

The  further  appreciation  of  the  Japanese  yen  against  the  U.S.  dollar,  the  euro 
and other currencies reduced the profitability of exports. And for marketing efforts, 
although  vehicle  sales  in  North  America  decreased  due  mainly  to  a  lack  of  vehicle 
supply caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011, vehicle sales in Japan 
increased as in the second half, we experienced a strong recovery of lost opportunities 
due  to  the  Japan  earthquake.  And  in  Asia,  although  IMVs  sales  were  particularly 
affected by the supply disruption due to the Thailand floods, Etios sales in India were 
strong, and as a result, sales marked a new record, and contributed to higher income.

The business environment in fiscal 2012 was extremely challenging due to losses 
in  production  following  the  Japan  earthquake  and  the  Thailand  floods,  in  addition 
to  yen  appreciation.  Nevertheless,  we  achieved  operating  income  of  ¥355.6  billion 
thanks  to  the  concerted  efforts  of  our  employees,  suppliers  and  dealers  to  recover 
production  and  sales.  Through  the  concerted  efforts  of  the  whole  Toyota  group  to 
implement cost reductions and fixed cost reductions, we made improvements to our 
structure  for  developing  a  strong  earnings  base.  Also,  from  fiscal  2013  onward,  we 
will  make  further  improvements  to  our  structure  by  continuing  profit  improvement 
activities.

Factors that are expected to increase income include marketing efforts 
amounting  to  ¥550.0  billion  and  cost-reduction  efforts  amounting  to  ¥240.0 
billion. Factors that are expected to decrease income include an increase in 
expenses, etc., reaching ¥145.6 billion. With regard to marketing efforts, we 
expect a significant increase, particularly in North America and Asia, as we 
recover from the supply shortage in the last fiscal year.

In  fiscal  2013,  we  are  aiming  to  achieve  operating  income  of  ¥1  trillion 
by actively promoting vehicle sales utilizing our new products as well as our 
competitive lineup of hybrid vehicles and IMVs etc., and strongly pursuing cost 
reduction together with our suppliers. 
  We have been aiming to establish a cycle of developing “better cars” that 
are  accepted  by  our  customers  and  society,  and  should  increase  sales  and 
consequently profits to reinvest in developing even “better cars.” This cycle is 
supported by the strong earnings base described in Toyota Global Vision. We 
believe that the results of our efforts to develop “better cars” will be evident 
in  our  numbers  in  fiscal  2013,  and  our  business  foundation  is  now  steadily 
improving towards the earnings structure described in Toyota Global Vision.
  We will continue to establish a cycle of developing “better cars” and aim to 
build a strong earnings base that can handle environmental changes such as 
fluctuations in exchange rates and the number of vehicles sold, with further 
marketing  efforts  and  holding  down  fixed  costs,  thorough  cost  reductions, 
localization of production and procurement, and similar efforts.

Message from the Executive Vice President Responsible for Accounting

Financial Strategy

The three key components of our 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.
1. 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 efficiently and actively 
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, i.e., the “50:50 sales ratio between 
Japan/U.S./Europe and emerging markets” defined in Toyota Global Vision. 
2. 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. The introduction of our new framework for developing 
“better cars,” called the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA), will enable us 
to achieve sweeping advances in product appeal with cost reductions, in addition 
to strengthening design and development. We can invest efficiently and achieve 
the same equipment investment benefit with lower capital expenditure. Through 
such efforts, we will strive for efficient investment that emphasizes the areas 
where we want to advance, such as eco-cars, including hybrids, and emerging 
markets, which are expected to grow, while improving our income structure.
3. Stability: Maintaining a solid financial base

We  preserve  a  solid  financial  base  by  ensuring  sufficient  liquidity  and  stable 
shareholdersʼ  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 drastic foreign exchange rate fluctuations, not 
to mention such unexpected crises as last yearʼs earthquake and the Thailand 
floods. Although the business environments surrounding us remain unclear due 
to factors such as the European sovereign debt crisis, we anticipate medium- 
to  long-term  growth  in  automotive  markets  worldwide.  We  believe  that 
maintaining adequate liquidity is essential to the implementation of forward-
looking  investment  to  improve  product  appeal  and  develop  next-generation 
technologies, as well as to establish a structure for production 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.

Dividends and Share Acquisitions

We  deem  the  benefit  of  its  shareholders  as  one  of  its  priority  management 
policies, and it is working to improve corporate structure towards the realization 
of sustainable growth in order to enhance its corporate value. We will strive to 
continue to pay stable dividends while giving due consideration to factors such 
as business results for each term, investment plans and its cash reserves. In 
order to succeed in this highly competitive industry, we plan to utilize its internal 
funds  for  the  early  commercialization  of  technologies  for  next-generation 
environment and safety, giving priority to customer safety and sense of security. 
Considering these factors, we declared an annual dividend payment of ¥50 per 
share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

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, 2012, 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 Toyotaʼs 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. 

Overview

financial 

include 
The  business  segments  of  Toyota 
automotive 
services 
operations, 
operations and all other operations. Automotive 
operations are Toyotaʼs most significant business 
segment,  accounting  for  89%  of  Toyotaʼs  total 
revenues before the elimination of intersegment 
revenues for fiscal 2012. Toyotaʼs primary markets 
based on vehicle unit sales for fiscal 2012 were: 
Japan (28%), North America (25%), Europe (11%) 
and Asia  (18%). Japanʼs economy suffered from 
the effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake and 
its aftermath (collectively, the “Great East Japan 
Earthquake”).  As  a  result,  in  Japan  and  other 
regions, Toyota experienced negative impacts on 
its production in the first half of fiscal year 2012. 
See  “Information  on  the  Company  —  Business 
Overview —” for more detailed information of the 
Great  East  Japan  Earthquake  in  Toyotaʼs  annual 
report on Form 20-F. 

■ Automotive Market Environment

The  worldwide  automotive  market  is  highly 
competitive  and  volatile.  The  demand 
for 
automobiles  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  2012,  automotive  markets 
developed  steadily  in  the  U.S.  and  emerging 
countries such as Asia. However, many Japanese 
manufacturers,  including  Toyota,  were  forced 
to  adjust  or  stop  productions  due  to  shortages 
of  parts  supplies  caused  by  the  Great  East 
Japan  Earthquake  and  by  the  flood  in  Thailand 
that  occurred  in  October  2011.  Toyota  and  its 
group  companies  together  exerted  every  effort 
to  normalize  production,  and  Toyota  was  able 
to  achieve  full  normalization  of  production  and 
begin its recovery from the disaster sooner than 
initially anticipated. 

The following table sets forth Toyotaʼs consolidated vehicle unit sales by geographic market based 

on location of customers for the past three fiscal years.

During  fiscal  2011,  Toyotaʼs  consolidated 
vehicle  unit  sales 
in  Japan  decreased  as 
compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year  because 
market  conditions  in  Japan  deteriorated  as 
compared with the prior fiscal year. During fiscal 
2012,  Toyotaʼs  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. 

Toyota and Lexus brandsʼ market share in Japan 
excluding mini-vehicles was 45.5%, and Toyotaʼs 
market  share  (including  Daihatsu  and  Hino 
brands)  in  Japan  including  mini-vehicles  was 
43.2%, both maintaining the high level of market 
share in Japan from the prior fiscal year. Overseas 
consolidated vehicle unit sales increased during 
fiscal 2011, whereas they decreased during fiscal 
2012.  During  fiscal  2011,  total  overseas  vehicle 
unit  sales  increased  in  Asia  and  Other.  During 
fiscal  2012,  total  overseas  vehicle  unit  sales 
decreased, particularly in North America due to 
impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake and 
the  flood  in  Thailand,  although  an  increase  in 
Asia resulted from steady demand in spite of the 
flood in Thailand. 

Toyotaʼs  share  of  total  vehicle  unit  sales  in 
each market is influenced by the quality, safety, 
reliability,  price,  design,  performance,  economy 
and  utility  of  Toyotaʼs  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. 
Toyotaʼs  ability  to  satisfy  changing  customer 
preferences can affect its revenues and earnings 
significantly. 

The  profitability  of  Toyotaʼs  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, 

• 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  reliance  on  various  suppliers  for  the 
provision of supplies,  

• 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  Toyotaʼs  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 
responsible  for  taking  back  end-of-life  vehicles 
and  to  take  measures  to  ensure  that  adequate 
used vehicle disposal facilities are established and 
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,  Environmental  and 
Safety  Standards”  in  Toyotaʼs  annual  report  on 
Form 20-F and note 23 to the consolidated financial 
statements for a more detailed discussion of these 
laws, regulations and policies. 
  Many governments also regulate local content, 
impose tariffs and other trade barriers, and enact 
price  or  exchange  controls  that  can  limit  an 
automakerʼs  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  Toyotaʼs 
products,  cost  of  products  or  applicable  tax 
rates.  In  February  2003,  Toyota  was  named  as 
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  federal  court 
approved  the  settlement  agreement,  and  all 
related  actions  were  dismissed.  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 
brandsʼ 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  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 investigations, see note 
23 to the consolidated financial statements. 

The  worldwide  automotive  industry  is  in  a 
period of global competition which may continue 
in  general 
for  the  foreseeable  future,  and 

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. 

Toyotaʼs  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. 
Toyotaʼs 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 Toyotaʼs 
wholesale financing activities. 

Although  Toyotaʼs  total  finance  receivables, 
net  was  affected  by  the  unfavorable  impact 
of  fluctuations  in  foreign  currency  translation 
rates, the total finance receivables, net increased 
during fiscal 2012 mainly due to an decrease in 
allowance for credit losses.

Toyotaʼs  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. 

into 

Toyota  enters 

interest  rate  swap 
agreements  and  cross  currency  interest  rate 
swap agreements to convert its fixed-rate debt to 
variable-rate functional currency debt. A portion 
of  the  derivative  instruments  are  entered  into 
to  hedge  interest  rate  risk  from  an  economic 
perspective  and  are  not  designated  as  a  hedge 
of  specific  assets  or  liabilities  on  Toyotaʼs 
consolidated  balance  sheet  and  accordingly, 
unrealized gains or losses related to derivatives 
that are not designated as a hedge are recognized 
currently in operations. See discussion in “Critical 
Accounting  Estimates  —  Derivatives  and  Other 
Contracts  at  Fair  Value”  and  “Quantitative  and 
Qualitative  Disclosures  about  Market  Risk”  and 
note 20 to the consolidated financial statements. 

The  fluctuations  in  funding  costs  can  affect 
the  profitability  of  Toyotaʼs  financial  services 
operations.  Funding  costs  are  affected  by  a 
number  of  factors,  some  of  which  are  not  in 
Toyotaʼs  control.  These  factors  include  general 
economic  conditions,  prevailing  interest  rates 
and  Toyotaʼs  financial  strength.  Funding  costs 
decreased during fiscal 2011 and 2012, mainly as 
a result of lower interest rates. 

Toyota  launched  its  credit  card  business 
in  Japan  in  April  2001.  As  of  March  31,  2011, 
Toyota  had  8.9  million  cardholders,  an  increase 
of 1.2 million cardholders compared with March 
31,  2010.  As  of  March  31,  2012,  Toyota  had  10.9 
million  cardholders,  an  increase  of  2.0  million 
cardholders  compared  with  March  31,  2011. 
The  credit  card  receivables  at  March  31,  2011 
increased  by  ¥8.1  billion  from  March  31,  2010 
to  ¥263.5  billion.  The  credit  card  receivables  at 
March  31,  2012  increased  by  ¥44.0  billion  from 
March 31, 2011 to ¥307.5 billion. 

■ Other Business Operations
Toyotaʼs  other  business  operations  consist  of 
housing  including  the  manufacture  and  sale  of 
information  technology 
prefabricated  homes, 
information 
including 
businesses 
related 
technology  and  telecommunications,  intelligent 
transport  systems  and  GAZOO,  and  other 
businesses. 

Toyota  does  not  expect  its  other  business 
operations  to  materially  contribute  to  Toyotaʼs 
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. 
Toyotaʼs 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  Toyotaʼs 
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  with  prior  periods  and  among  the 
various geographic markets, the translation risk 
is a reporting consideration and does not reflect 
Toyotaʼs underlying results of operations. Toyota 
does not hedge against translation risk. 

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

Toyota  believes  that  the  location  of 

its 

production facilities in different parts of the world 
has significantly reduced the level of transaction 
its  globalization  strategy, 
risk.  As  part  of 
Toyota  has  continued  to  localize  production  by 
constructing  production  facilities  in  the  major 
markets in which it sells its vehicles. In calendar 
2010  and  2011,  Toyota  produced  73.4%  and 
71.3%  of  its  non-domestic  sales  outside  Japan, 
In  North  America,  72.6%  and 
respectively. 
66.8% of vehicles sold in calendar 2010 and 2011 
respectively  were  produced  locally.  In  Europe, 
59.0% and 57.7% of vehicles sold in calendar 2010 
and  2011  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 Toyotaʼs 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 2011 
and 2012, the Japanese yen was on average and 

at the end of each fiscal year stronger against the 
U.S. dollar and the euro in comparison to the prior 
fiscal year. See further discussion in “Quantitative 
and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk — 
Market  Risk  Disclosures  —  Foreign  Currency 
Exchange Rate Risk”. 

During  fiscal  2011  and  2012,  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 2012 Compared with Fiscal 
2011”  and  “Results  of  Operations  —  Fiscal  2011 
Compared with Fiscal 2010” show results of net 
revenues obtained by applying the Japanese yenʼs 
average exchange rate in the previous fiscal year 
to the local currency-denominated net revenues 
for  fiscal  2011  and  2012,  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  Toyotaʼs  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  results  excluding  the  impact  of  currency 
fluctuations  year-on-year  provide  additional 
useful  information  to  investors  regarding  the 
operating performance on a local currency basis. 

■ Segmentation
Toyotaʼs  most  significant  business  segment  is 
its automotive operations. Toyota carries out its 
automotive operations as a global competitor in 
the worldwide automotive market. Management 
allocates  resources 
the 
performance  of,  its  automotive  operations  as 
a  single  business  segment  on  a  worldwide 
basis.  Toyota  does  not  manage  any  subset  of 
its  automotive  operations,  such  as  domestic 
or  overseas  operations  or  parts,  as  separate 
management units. 

to,  and  assesses

The  management  of  the  automotive  operations 
is  aligned  on  a  functional  basis  with  managers 
having  oversight  responsibility  for  the  major 
the  segment.

■ Net Revenues 

Toyota  had  net  revenues  for  fiscal  2012  of 
¥18,583.6  billion,  a  decrease  of  ¥410.0  billion, 
or  2.2%,  compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year. 
This  decrease  reflects  unfavorable  impact  of 
fluctuations in foreign currency translation rates 
and  others  of  ¥717.7  billion,  partially  offset  by 
changes  in  numbers  of  the  vehicle  unit  sales 
and  sales  mix  of  approximately  ¥320.0  billion 
and other factors. Excluding the difference in the 
Japanese yen value used for translation purposes 
of  ¥717.7  billion,  net  revenues  would  have  been 
approximately  ¥19,301.3  billion  during  fiscal 
2012,  a  1.6%  increase  compared  with  the  prior 
fiscal year. The automotive market in fiscal 2012 
increased by 9.7% in North America and 3.9% in 
Asia compared with the prior fiscal year due to 
that market in the U.S. and emerging countries

such as Asia have developed in a steady manner. 
Under  these  automotive  market  conditions, 
despite the Great East Japan Earthquake and the

Toyotaʼs  net  revenues  include  net  revenues 
from  sales  of  products,  consisting  of  net 
revenues  from  automotive  operations  and  all 
other operations, which decreased by 1.7% during 
fiscal 2012 compared with the prior fiscal year to 
¥17,511.9 billion, and net revenues from financial 
services  operations  which  decreased  by  8.6% 
during fiscal 2012 compared with the prior fiscal 
year  to  ¥1,071.7  billion.  Excluding  the  difference 
in  the  Japanese  yen  value  used  for  translation 
purposes of ¥650.8 billion, net revenues from sales 
of  products  would  have  been  ¥18,162.7  billion,  a 
1.9% increase during fiscal 2012 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 44 thousand vehicles. 
Excluding the difference in the Japanese yen value 
used  for  translation  purposes  of  ¥66.9  billion, 
net revenues from financial services operations 
would  have  been  approximately  ¥1,138.6  billion, 
a  2.9%  decrease  during  fiscal  2012  compared 
with  the  prior  fiscal  year.  This  decrease  was 
mainly due to the decrease of ¥18.3 billion rental 
revenue generated by vehicles and equipment on 
operating lease.

Although Toyotaʼs domestic and exported vehicle 
unit  sales  decreased  due  to  the  impact  of  the 
Great  East  Japan  Earthquake  in  the  first  half 
of  fiscal  2012,  Toyotaʼs  domestic  and  exported 
vehicle unit sales over the fiscal year increased 

North America

by  130  thousand  vehicles  compared  with  the 
prior  fiscal  year.  The  increase  in  vehicle  unit 
sales resulted primarily from introduction of new 
products such as Prius α and Aqua.

In North America, the vehicle unit sales decreased 
by 159 thousand vehicles compared with the prior 
fiscal  year  due  to  decreased  production  as  a 
result of shortages of parts supplies caused by 
the  Great  East  Japan  Earthquake  and  the  flood 
in Thailand, consisting of a 67 thousand vehicles, 
or 30.7%, decrease in RAV4 sales, a 26 thousand 

vehicles,  or  22.4%,  decrease  in  Tundra  sales, 
and  a  21  thousand  vehicles,  or  7.3%,  decrease 
in Corolla sales. Net revenues in North America 
decreased  compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year 
due  to  the  decrease  in  vehicle  unit  sales  and 
the unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign 
currency translation rates of ¥398.9 billion.

Net  revenues  in  Europe  as  a  whole  increased 
due primarily to the 2 thousand vehicles increase 
in  vehicle  unit  sales  compared  with  the  prior 
fiscal  year,  such  as  a  49  thousand  vehicles 
increase  in  Russia,  where  the  economy  has 
been  strong,  although  sales  of  Toyota  brandsʼ 

vehicles decreased in some European countries 
compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year,  such  as  a 
18  thousand  vehicles  decrease  in  Italy  and  a  7 
thousand vehicles decrease in Portugal, both of 
which mainly due to the European credit crisis.

Despite the flood in Thailand, Toyotaʼs vehicle unit 
sales in Asia increased by 72 thousand vehicles 
compared with the prior fiscal year due to steady 
growth in automotive markets. Although Toyotaʼs 
vehicle unit sales in Asia increased, net revenues 

in Asia decreased compared with the prior fiscal 
year  mainly  due  to  the  unfavorable  impact  of 
fluctuations in foreign currency translation rates 
of ¥168.8 billion and others.

Operating  costs  and  expenses  decreased  by 
¥297.3 billion, or 1.6%, to ¥18,228.0 billion during 
fiscal  2012  compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year. 
This  decrease  resulted  from  the  ¥432.3  billion 
favorable 
in  foreign 
impact  of  fluctuations 
currency  translation  rates  and  others,  and  the 
¥150.0  billion  impact  of  cost  reduction  efforts, 
partially  offset  by  the  ¥150.0  billion  impact  of 
changes in vehicle unit sales and sales mix and 
other  operational  factors  and  the  ¥134.9  billion 
increase in miscellaneous costs and others. 

The  increase  in  miscellaneous  costs  and 
others was due mainly to a ¥100.0 billion increase 
in labor costs, a ¥50.0 billion increase in research 
and development expenses and the ¥104.9 billion 
increase in other various costs, partially offset by 
the ¥120.0 billion impact of decrease in product 

quality  related  expenses  and  others.  This  cost 
decreased because costs related to recalls and 
other  safety  measures  occurred  at  a  high  level 
during  the  prior  fiscal  year.  See  note  14  to  the 
consolidated financial statements. 

During fiscal 2012, Toyota announced recalls 
and other safety measures including the following: 
In June 2011, Toyota announced in Japan and 
other regions a voluntary safety recall of certain 
models  of  Toyota  and  Lexus  brandsʼ  vehicles  in 
relation to damage to elements of the substrate 
and potential shutdown of the hybrid system that 
may have resulted from improper manufacturing 
of  electronic  converter  control  substrate.  The 
affected vehicle models included Harrier Hybrid, 
Kluger  Hybrid,  RX400h,  and  Highlander  Hybrid, 
111 thousand vehicles were included in this recall.

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

In September 2011, Toyota announced in Japan 
the service campaign of certain models of Toyota 
in relation to abnormal noise and oil leakage that 
may have resulted from slack of bolts in the sub 
transmission  and  the  rear  wheel  differential. 
The  affected  vehicle  models  included  EstimaL, 
EstimaT  and  Wish,  181  thousand  vehicles  were 
included in this service campaign. 

In November 2011, Toyota announced in Japan 
and  other  regions  the  voluntary  safety  recall  of 
certain  models  of  Toyota  and  Lexus  brandsʼ 
vehicles  in  relation  to  abnormal  noise,  charge 
warning light indicators, and increasing of handle 
operation force resulted from peeling of a bonded 
part of the engine crankshaft pulley. The affected 
included  AlphardG,  AlphardV, 
vehicle  models 
EstimaL,  EstimaT,  KlugerV,  KlugerL,  Kluger 
Hybrid,  Harrier,  Harrier  Hybrid,  Windom,  RX300, 
RX330,  RX400h,  ES300,  ES330,  Solara,  Camry, 
Avalon, Sienna, Highlander, and Highlander Hybrid, 
549 thousand vehicles were included in this recall. 

Cost Reduction Efforts
During  fiscal  2012,  Toyotaʼs  continued  cost 
reduction  efforts  reduced  operating  costs  and 
expenses  by  ¥150.0  billion.  The  amount  of  effect 
of  cost  reduction  efforts  includes  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  2012,  raw  materials  prices  were  on  an 
increasing trend; however, continued cost reduction 
efforts together with suppliers contributed to the 

improvement in earnings by more than offsetting 
the  effects  from  raw  materials  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 decreased by ¥189.8 billion, 
or  1.2%,  to  ¥15,795.9  billion  during  fiscal  2012 
compared with the prior fiscal year. The decrease 
resulted from the ¥343.6 billion favorable impact 
of  fluctuations  in  foreign  currency  translation 
rates  and  others,  and  the  ¥150.0  billion  impact 
of  cost  reduction  efforts,  partially  offset  by  the 
¥135.0  billion  impact  of  changes  in  vehicle  unit 
sales and sales mix and other operational factors, 
and  ¥110.0  billion  increase  in  miscellaneous 
costs and others. The increase in miscellaneous 
costs was due mainly to the ¥50.0 billion increase 
in research and development expenses and the 
¥80.0 billion increase in labor costs.

Cost of Financing Operations 

■ Operating Income

Cost of financing operations decreased by ¥36.8 
billion, or 5.9%, to ¥592.6 billion during fiscal 2012 
compared with the prior fiscal year. The decrease 
resulted from the ¥35.7 billion favorable impact

decreased  by  ¥70.6  billion,  or  3.7%,  to  ¥1,839.4

■ Other Income and Expenses 

Interest  and  dividend  income  increased  by  ¥9.0 
billion, or 10.0%, to ¥99.8 billion during fiscal 2012 
compared with the prior fiscal year. 

Interest  expense  decreased  by  ¥6.3  billion, 
or  21.8%,  to  ¥22.9  billion  during  fiscal  2012 
compared with the prior fiscal year. 

Foreign exchange gain, net increased by ¥22.8 
billion,  or  159.4%,  to  ¥37.1  billion  during  fiscal 
2012 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 
fiscal year, including those settled using forward 
foreign currency exchange contracts. 

Other  loss,  net  decreased  by  ¥56.0  billion  to 
¥36.8 billion during fiscal 2012 compared with the 
prior fiscal year. This was due to the recognition of 
impairment losses on available-for-sale securities. 

■ Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes decreased by ¥50.5 
billion,  or  16.2%,  to  ¥262.2  billion  during  fiscal 
2012  compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year  due  to 
the  decrease  in  income  before  income  taxes. 
The  effective  tax  rate  for  fiscal  2012  was  60.6%, 
which  was  higher  than  the  statutory  tax  rate  in 
Japan.  This  was  due  to  recurring  items  such  as 
the valuation allowance and deferred tax liabilities 
relating  to  undistributed  earnings  in  affiliated 
companies accounted for by the equity method. 

■ Net Income and Loss attributable to 
  Noncontrolling Interests and Equity in 
  Earnings of Affiliated Companies 

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests 
increased  by  ¥27.4  billion,  or  47.9%,  to  ¥84.7 
billion during fiscal 2012 compared with the prior 
fiscal year. This increase was due to an increase 
during fiscal 2012 in net income attributable to the 
shareholders of consolidated subsidiaries. 

Equity  in  earnings  of  affiliated  companies 
during fiscal 2012 decreased by ¥17.3 billion, or 
8.1%,  to  ¥197.7  billion  compared  with  the  prior 
fiscal year. This decrease was due to a decrease 
during fiscal 2012 in net income attributable to the 
shareholders  of  affiliated  companies  accounted 
for by the equity method. 

■ Net Income attributable to Toyota Motor 
  Corporation  

Net  income  attributable  to  the  shareholders  of 
Toyota  Motor  Corporation  decreased  by  ¥124.6 
billion,  or  30.5%,  to  ¥283.5  billion  during  fiscal 
2012 compared with the prior fiscal year. 

■ Other Comprehensive Income and Loss 

Other  comprehensive  loss  decreased  by  ¥263.8 
billion  to  ¥34.1  billion  for  fiscal  2012  compared 
with the prior fiscal year. This decrease resulted 
from  unfavorable  foreign  currency  translation 
adjustments  losses  of  ¥87.7  billion  in  fiscal  2012 
compared with losses of ¥287.6 billion in the prior 
fiscal year, and from unrealized holding gains on 
securities in fiscal 2012 of ¥129.3 billion compared 

with  losses  of  ¥26.1  billion  in  the  prior  fiscal 
year. The increase in unrealized holding gains on 
securities was due to changes in stock prices.

unfavorable  impact  of  fluctuations  in  foreign 
currency  translation  rates  and  others,  partially 
offset by the ¥320.0 billion of favorable impact by 
changes in vehicle unit sales and sales mix, and

fiscal 2012 compared with the prior fiscal year to 
¥21.6 billion. This decrease in operating income 
was due to the ¥250.0 billion unfavorable impact 
of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and the 
¥100.0  billion  increase  in  miscellaneous  costs 
and  others,  partially  offset  by  the  ¥170.0  billion 
effect  of  cost  reduction  efforts,  and  the  ¥150.0 
billion of favorable impact by changes in vehicle 
unit sales and sales mix. 

The changes in vehicle unit sales and changes 
in sales mix was due primarily to an increase in 
Toyotaʼs vehicle unit sales by 44 thousand vehicles 
compared with the prior fiscal year resulting from 
the  introduction  of  new  products  in  spite  of  the 
impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake and the 
flood in Thailand. The increase in miscellaneous 
costs and others was due primarily to the ¥100.0 
billion increase in labor costs and the ¥50.0 billion 
increase in research and development expenses. 

Financial Services Operations Segment 

Net revenues for the financial services operations 
decreased  during  fiscal  2012  by  ¥91.8  billion, 
or  7.7%,  compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year  to 
¥1,100.3  billion.  This  decrease  was  primarily 
due to the unfavorable impact of fluctuations in 
foreign  currency  translation  rates  and  others 
of ¥66.9 billion and the ¥18.3 billion decrease in 
rental  income  from  vehicles  and  equipment  on 
operating leases. 

Operating  income  from  financial  services 
operations decreased by ¥51.8 billion, or 14.5%, 
to  ¥306.4  billion  during  fiscal  2012  compared 
with  the  prior  fiscal  year.  This  decrease  was 
due primarily to the recording of ¥20.8 billion of 
valuation losses on interest rate swaps stated at 
fair value.

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

■ 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  following  the  conclusion  of  subsidies 
for environmentally-friendly vehicles  (“eco-car”) 
offered by the government as a part of its stimulus 
packages, as well as the impact of the Great East 
Japan Earthquake. However, the Asian automotive 
market  marked  a  significant  increase  of  27.6% 
compared with the prior calendar year, reflecting 
the recovery trend of the Asian economy. Under 
these  automotive  market  conditions,  Toyotaʼs 
consolidated vehicle unit sales increased to 7,308 
thousand  vehicles,  a  1.0%  increase  compared 
with the prior fiscal year.

Toyotaʼs  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, Toyotaʼs 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%.

In  North  America,  the  vehicle  unit  sales  of 
specified  vehicle  models  increased  due  to  the 
recovering  trends  of  the  automobile  market 
and  improvements  to  the  overall  economy.  The 
increase in vehicle unit sales and this impact on 
sales  trends  were  mainly  represented  by  a  48 
thousand vehicles, or 54.5%, increase in Sienna 
sales, a 30 thousand vehicles, or 39.2%, increase 
in  Highlander  sales,  a  29  thousand  vehicles,  or 
123.7%,  increase  in  4Runner  sales,  and  a  27 
thousand  vehicles,  or  14.1%,  increase  in  RAV4 
sales.  Despite  the  improvements  including  a 
favorable  effect  of  changes  in  sales  mix,  net 

revenues  decreased  compared  with  the  prior 
fiscal  year  due  to  the  decrease  in  vehicle  unit 
sales by an intense competitive environment that 
introduced new vehicle models to the market and 
the unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign 
currency translation rates of ¥448.0 billion. The 
decrease in vehicle unit sales resulted primarily 
from an 84 thousand vehicles, or 23.0%, decrease 
in  Corolla  sales  and  a  28  thousand  vehicles,  or 
7.9%,  decrease  in  Camry  sales,  partially  offset 
by  the  increase  in  vehicle  unit  sales  of  the 
aforementioned specified vehicle models.

Although retail sales of Toyota and Lexus brandsʼ

thousand vehicles, or 52.5%, increase in Russia 
and  20  thousand  vehicles,  or  82.6%,  increase 
in  Turkey,  net  revenues  in  Europe  generally 
decreased  due  primarily  to  the  62  thousand 

vehicles  decrease  in  Toyotaʼs  vehicle  unit  sales 
compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year  resulting 
from  a  decrease 
in  demand  following  the 
conclusion of government stimulus packages in 
Western  Europe,  and  the  unfavorable  impact  of 
fluctuations in foreign currency translation rates 
of ¥253.2 billion.

Toyotaʼs 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 
in  foreign 
impact  of  fluctuations 
favorable 
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 
for  customers,  partially  offset 
reassurance 
by  the  approximately  ¥70.0  billion  decrease  in 
product  warranty  costs  due  to  the  decrease  in 
payments to repair or replace defects of vehicles 
based on warranty contracts. See note 14 to the 
consolidated  financial  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  brandsʼ

vehicles in relation 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,  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, 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  brandsʼ 
vehicles  in  relation  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,  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  brandsʼ 
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, 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 
below. 

Toyota  expanded  the  coverage  of  a  safety 
campaign  in  North  America  for  certain  models 
of Toyota and Lexus brandsʼ vehicles in relation 
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 

increased  by  ¥14.3 
Cost  of  products  sold 
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 the 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  the 
provision for residual value losses is attributable 
to prices in the used vehicles markets remaining 
at an unprecedented high level particularly in the

Toyotaʼs  operating  income  increased  by  ¥320.7 
billion,  or  217.4%,  to  ¥468.2  billion  during  fiscal 

2011  compared  with  the  prior  fiscal  year.  This 
increase  was  favorably  impacted  by  the  ¥300.0 
billion increase in vehicle unit sales and changes 
in  sales  mix  and  other  operational  factors,  the 
¥54.4  billion  increase  in  parts  sales,  the  ¥32.6

¥30.0 billion increase in miscellaneous costs and 
others including ¥20.0 billion impact of increase 
in  expenses  related  to  the  Great  East  Japan 
Earthquake.  The  ¥32.6  billion  increase  of  cost 
reduction  efforts,  financial  services  operations, 
and others were due to the ¥180.0 billion impact 
of  cost  reduction  efforts  and  the  ¥130.0  billion 
impact of financial services operations, partially 
offset by the ¥290.0 billion unfavorable impact of

The  increase  in  operating  losses  in  Japan  was 
due to the ¥252.2 billion increase in cost reduction 
efforts,  increase  in  miscellaneous  costs  and 
others, partially offset by the ¥115.0 billion impact 
of  increase  in  the  number  of  exported  vehicles 
for  the  overseas  market.  The  cost  reduction 
efforts,  increase  in  miscellaneous  costs  and 
others  were  mainly  due  to  the  ¥330.0  billion 
unfavorable  impact  of  fluctuations  in  foreign 
currency  translation  rates  and  the  ¥50.0  billion 
increase  in  miscellaneous  costs  and  others, 
partially offset by the ¥140.0 billion impact of cost 
reduction  efforts  in  automotive  operations.  The 
¥50.0 billion increase in miscellaneous costs and 
others includes the ¥20.0 billion increase in costs 
related to the Great East Japan Earthquake. 

The  increase  in  operating  income  in  North 
America  was  due  to  the  ¥130.0  billion  increase 
in  operating  income  in  the  financial  services 
operations including impacts of the ¥100.0 billion 
decrease  in  the  provision  for  credit  losses  and 
net charge-offs and the ¥30.0 billion decrease in 
the provision for residual value losses primarily 
for  sales  finance  subsidiaries  in  the  United

production  volume,  the  ¥30.0  billion  impact  of 
cost reduction efforts, and the ¥15.0 decrease in 
miscellaneous costs and others, partially offset 
by  the  ¥23.8  billion  unfavorable  impact  of  the 
fluctuations in foreign currency translation rates. 
The  increase  in  production  volume  in  North 
America  is  attributable  to  the  increase  in  local 
vehicle  production  by  296  thousands  of  RAV4, 
Highlander and other models.

billion in the prior fiscal year, and from unrealized 
holding losses on securities in fiscal 2011 of ¥26.1 
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. 

¥5.9 billion unfavorable impact of fluctuations in 
foreign currency translation rates. The increases 
in both production volume and vehicle unit sales 
in Asia were primarily attributable to the increase 
in  Toyotaʼs  vehicle  unit  sales  by  276  thousand 
vehicles  supported  by  the  recovery  of  Asian 
automotive markets, particularly in Thailand and 
Indonesia, as the Asian economy is generally in 
the recovery trend. 

■ 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 
12.2%, to ¥29.3 billion during fiscal 2011 compared 
with the prior fiscal year. 

Foreign  exchange  gain,  net  decreased  by 
¥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 forward foreign currency exchange 
contracts. 
  Other income, net decreased by ¥11.7 billion, 
or  37.7%,  to  ¥19.2  billion  during  fiscal  2011 
compared with the prior fiscal year. 

■ 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 
  Noncontrolling Interests and Equity in 
  Earnings of Affiliated Companies 

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests 
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 in net income attributable to the 
shareholders of consolidated subsidiaries. 

Equity  in  earnings  of  affiliated  companies 
during fiscal 2011 increased by ¥169.6 billion, or 
373.5%, to ¥215.0 billion compared with the prior 
fiscal year. This increase was due to an increase 
during fiscal 2011 in net income attributable to the 
shareholders  of  affiliated  companies  accounted 
for by the equity method.

Automotive Operations Segment 
The  automotive  operations  segment  is  Toyotaʼs 
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 impact of fluctuations 
in foreign currency translation rates. 
income 

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

sales, partially offset by the ¥30.0 billion increase 
in miscellaneous costs and others and the ¥290.0 
billion  unfavorable  impact  of  fluctuations  in 
foreign currency rates. 

The increase in vehicle unit sales and changes 
in sales mix was due primarily to an increase in 
Toyotaʼs 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  and  others 
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. 

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 brandsʼ 
vehicles also remaining at a high level.

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

intensified  all  over  the  world,  as  shown  in  the 
small  and  low-price  vehicles  market,  Toyota 
expects  the  automotive  market  to  expand 
mainly  in  emerging  countries  in  the  future.  In 
addition,  heightened  global  awareness  of  the 
environment  is  leading  to  growing  demand  and 
diversification  for  the  environmentally-friendly 
vehicles.  With  the  foregoing  external  factors  in 
mind, Toyota expects that net revenues for fiscal 
2013 will increase compared with fiscal 2012 as 
a result of an increase in vehicle unit sales. With 
respect  to  operating  income,  factors  expected 
to contribute to an increase in operating income 
include  increased  vehicle  unit  sales  through 
marketing efforts, and cost reduction efforts. On 
the  other  hand,  factors  expected  to  contribute 
to  a  decrease  in  operating  income  include 
increase in miscellaneous costs and others. As 
a  result,  Toyota  expects  that  operating  income 
will increase in fiscal 2013 compared with fiscal 
2012.  Also,  Toyota  expects  that  income  before 
income taxes and equity in earnings of affiliated 

companies and net income attributable to Toyota 
Motor Corporation will increase in fiscal 2013. 

For  the  purposes  of  this  outlook  discussion, 
Toyota is assuming an average exchange rate of ¥80 
to the U.S. dollar and ¥105 to the euro. Exchange 
rate  fluctuations  can  materially  affect  Toyotaʼs 
operating results. In particular, a strengthening of 
the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar can have 
a  material  adverse  effect  on  Toyotaʼs  operating 
results. See “Operating and Financial Review and 
Prospects  —  Operating  Results  —  Overview  — 
Currency Fluctuations” for further discussion. 

The foregoing statements are forward-looking 
statements  based  upon  Toyotaʼs  managementʼs 
assumptions and beliefs regarding exchange rates, 
market  demand  for  Toyotaʼs  products,  economic 
conditions and others. See “Cautionary Statement 
Concerning  Forward-Looking  Statements”.  Toyotaʼs 
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

its  capital 
Historically,  Toyota  has 
expenditures  and  research  and  development 
activities through cash generated by operations. 
However,  in  the  interest  of  preserving  a  stable 
and healthy business environment and a strong 
financial  position  going  forward,  Toyota  raised 
certain funds from debt during fiscal 2012. 

In  fiscal  2013,  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 
technologies, 
development  of  environment 
maintenance and replacement of manufacturing

capital  expenditures  and  divestitures  for  fiscal 
2010, 2011 and 2012, and information concerning 
Toyotaʼs  principal  capital  expenditures  and

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. 

Toyota  refrained  from  repurchasing  of  its 
own shares for fiscal 2010, 2011 and 2012. 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  ¥1,452.4  billion  for  fiscal  2012,  compared 
with  ¥2,024.0  billion  for  the  prior  fiscal  year. 
The  decrease  was  due  to  a  reduction  in  cash 
collection  received  from  sale  of  products  due 
to a decrease in net revenue for the automotive 
operations, partially offset by operating activities 
resulted  from  a  decrease  in  cash  payment  to 
suppliers  attributable  to  a  decrease  in  cost  of 
products sold in the automotive operations.

activities was a ¥355.3 billion decrease for fiscal 
2012,  compared  with  a  ¥434.3  billion  increase 
for  the  prior  fiscal  year.  The  decrease  in  net 
cash  provided  by  or  used  in  financing  activities 
resulted from decreased proceeds from issuance 
of  long-term  debt  and  increased  payments  of 
long-term debt. 

Total capital expenditures for property, plant 
and equipment, excluding vehicles and equipment 
on  operating  leases,  were  ¥723.5  billion  during 
fiscal 2012, an increase of 15.0% over the ¥629.3 

billion  in  total  capital  expenditures  during  the 
prior  fiscal  year.  This  increase  was  due  to  an 
increase of investments in Asia. 

Total  capital  expenditures  for  vehicles  and 
equipment  on  operating  leases  were  ¥808.5 
billion  during  fiscal  2012,  a  decrease  of  23.9% 
over  the  ¥1,061.8  billion  in  expenditures  from 
the prior fiscal year. This decrease was due to a 
decrease 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 ¥820.0 
billion during fiscal 2013. 

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  2013.  However,  uncertainty 
exists with respect to Toyotaʼs obligations under

current  and  future  environment  regulations  as 
described  in  “Information  on  the  Company  — 
Business Overview — Governmental Regulation, 
Environmental and Safety Standards” in Toyotaʼs 
annual report on Form 20-F. 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  were  ¥1,679.2 
billion as of March 31, 2012. Most of Toyotaʼs cash 
and  cash  equivalents  are  held  in  Japanese  yen 
and  in  U.S.  dollars.  In  addition,  time  deposits 
were  ¥80.3  billion  and  marketable  securities 
were ¥1,181.0 billion as of March 31, 2012. 

Liquid assets, which Toyota defines as cash 
and cash equivalents, time deposits, marketable 
debt  securities  and  its  investment  in  monetary 
trust  funds,  decreased  during  fiscal  2012  by 
¥201.7 billion, or 3.4%, to ¥5,761.4 billion. 

Trade  accounts  and  notes  receivable,  less 
allowance for doubtful accounts increased during 
fiscal 2012 by ¥550.6 billion, or 38.0%, to ¥1,999.8 
billion.  This  increase  was  due  to  an  increase  in 
the volume of sales in fiscal 2012. 

Inventories 

increased  during  fiscal  2012 
by  ¥318.0  billion,  or  24.4%,  to  ¥1,622.2  billion. 
This increase was due to an increase in trading 
volume. 

Total  finance  receivables,  net 

increased 
during  fiscal  2012  by  ¥23.8  billion,  or  0.2%,  to 
¥9,717.3  billion.  This  increase  was  due  to  an 
increase  in  the  number  of  financing  contracts, 
partially offset by fluctuations in foreign currency 
translation  rates.  As  of  March  31,  2012,  finance 
receivables  were  geographically  distributed  as 
follows: in North America 58.1%, in Japan 12.0%, 

in Europe 10.3%, in Asia 7.1% and in Other 12.5%. 
  Marketable  securities  and  other  securities 
investments, including those included in current 
assets,  increased  during  fiscal  2012  by  ¥438.0 
billion, or 9.1%, 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  2012  by  ¥73.7  billion,  or  1.2%, 
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 

increased 
during fiscal 2012 by ¥739.5 billion, or 49.2%. This 
increase  was  due  to  an  increase  in  production 
volume in fiscal 2012. 

Accrued  expenses  increased  during  fiscal 

2012 by ¥55.2 billion, or 3.1%. 

Income taxes payable increased during fiscal 
2012 by ¥20.9 billion, or 18.6%, as a result of an 
increase of income taxes payable at automotive 
operations. 

Toyotaʼs  total  borrowings  decreased  during 
fiscal  2012  by  ¥395.5  billion,  or  3.2%.  Toyotaʼs 
short-term  borrowings  consist  of  loans  with 
a  weighted-average  interest  rate  of  1.93%  and 
commercial  paper  with  a  weighted-average 
interest  rate  of  0.72%.  Short-term  borrowings 
increased  during  fiscal  2012  by  ¥271.6  billion, 
or  8.5%,  to  ¥3,450.6  billion.  Toyotaʼs  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 32.00%, and maturity 
dates  ranging  from  2012  to  2050.  The  current 
portion of long-term debt decreased during fiscal 
2012 by ¥260.2 billion, or 9.4%, to ¥2,512.6 billion 
and the non-current portion decreased by ¥406.9 
billion, or 6.3%, to ¥6,042.2 billion. The decrease 
in total borrowings resulted from a decrease in 
bonds and medium-term notes, partially offset by 
an increase in commercial paper. As of March 31, 
2012, approximately 34% of long-term debt was 
denominated  in  U.S.  dollars,  26%  in  Japanese 
yen,  11%  in  Australia  dollars,  and  29%  in  other 
currencies.  Toyota  hedges  interest  rate  risk 
exposure  of  fixed-rate  borrowings  by  entering 
into  interest  rate  swaps.  There  are  no  material 
in  Toyotaʼs  borrowings 
seasonal  variations 
requirements. 

As  of  March  31,  2012,  Toyotaʼs  total  interest 
bearing  debt  was  113.8%  of  Toyota  Motor 
Corporation shareholdersʼ equity, compared with 
120.0% as of March 31, 2011. 

The  following  table  provides  information  for 
credit rating of Toyotaʼs short-term borrowing and 
long-term  debt  from  rating  agencies,  Standard 
& Poorʼs Ratings Group(S&P), Moodyʼs Investors 
Services(Moodyʼs),  and  Rating  and  Investment 
Information, Inc.(R&I), as of May 31, 2012. A credit 
rating  is  not  a  recommendation  to  buy,  sell  or 
hold securities. A credit rating may be subject to 
withdrawal  or  revision  at  any  time.  Each  rating 
should be evaluated separately of any other rating.

pension 

Toyotaʼs 

unfunded 

liabilities 
increased during fiscal 2012 by ¥130.8 billion, or 
24.0%,  to  ¥676.6  billion.  The  unfunded  pension 
liabilities  relate  to  the  parent  company  and  its 
Japanese  subsidiaries.  The  unfunded  amounts 
will be funded through future cash contributions 
by Toyota or in some cases will be settled on the 
retirement  date  of  each  covered  employee.  The 
unfunded  pension  liabilities  increased  in  fiscal 
2012 compared with the prior fiscal year due to an 
increase  in  pension  benefit  obligations  resulted 
from a decrease in discount rate. See note 19 to 
the consolidated financial statements for further 
discussion. 

Toyotaʼs  treasury  policy 

is  to  maintain 
controls on all exposures, to adhere 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 Toyotaʼs 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 
are  subject  to  short-term  fluctuations.  Toyota 
believes  that  it  maintains  sufficient  liquidity  for 
its present requirements and that by maintaining 

its high credit ratings, it will continue to be able 
to  access  funds  from  external  sources  in  large 
amounts and at relatively low costs. Toyotaʼs ability 
to maintain its high credit ratings is subject to a 
number of factors, some of which are not within 

Toyotaʼs  control.  These  factors  include  general 
economic  conditions  in  Japan  and  the  other 
major markets in which Toyota does business, as 
well as Toyotaʼs 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 considered 
the primary beneficiary of these special purpose 

Lending Commitments 

entities and therefore consolidates them. Toyota 
has  not  entered  into  any  off-balance  sheet 
securitization transactions during fiscal 2012. 

■ Credit Facilities with Credit Card Holders 
Toyotaʼs 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 holderʼs requests up 
to the limits established on an individual holderʼs 
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 
management  policy  which  includes  an  analysis 
of 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 ¥256.2 billion as of March 31, 2012. 

■ Credit Facilities with Dealers 
Toyotaʼs  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 Toyotaʼs exposure under such agreements. 
Toyota  prices  the  credit  facilities  according  to 
the  risks  assumed  in  entering  into  the  credit 
facility.  Toyotaʼs  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. 
Toyotaʼs outstanding credit facilities with dealers 
totaled ¥1,615.7 billion as of March 31, 2012. 

■ Guarantees 

Toyota  enters  into  certain  guarantee  contracts 
to  guarantee  customersʼ 
with 
payments of their installment payables that arise 

its  dealers 

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, 2012, 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, 2012 is ¥1,695.1 billion. 
Liabilities  for  these  guarantees  of  ¥13.9  billion 
have been provided as of March 31, 2012. 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

Related Party Transactions 

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. 

Legislation Regarding End-of-Life Vehicles 

In  October  2000,  the  European  Union  enforced 
a  directive  that  requires  member  states  to 
promulgate  regulations 
the 
following: 

implementing 

• 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. 

See  note  23  to  the  consolidated  financial 

statements for further discussion. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements in the United States 

In  June  2011,  FASB  issued  updated  guidance  of 
presentation of comprehensive income. This guidance 
requires  to  present  the  total  of  comprehensive 
income,  the  components  of  net  income,  and  the 
components of other comprehensive income either 

in a single continuous statement of comprehensive 
in  two  separate  but  consecutive 
income  or 
statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal year, 
and interim period within the fiscal year, beginning 
after  December  15,  2011.  Management  does  not 

expect this guidance to have a material impact on 
Toyotaʼs consolidated financial statements. 

In  December  2011,  FASB  issued  updated 
guidance  of  disclosures  about  offsetting  assets 
and liabilities. This guidance requires additional 
disclosures  about  gross  and  net  information 
for  assets  and  liabilities 
including  financial 
instruments  eligible  for  offset  in  the  balance 

Critical Accounting Estimates 

The consolidated financial statements of Toyota are 
prepared in conformity with accounting principles 
generally accepted in the United States of America. 
The  preparation  of  these  financial  statements 
requires  the  use  of  estimates,  judgments  and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 
assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of  the  financial 
statements and the reported amounts of revenues 
and  expenses  during  the  periods  presented. 
Toyota  believes  that  of  its  significant  accounting 
policies, the following may involve a higher degree 
of judgments, estimates and assumptions: 

■ 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 

sheets. This guidance is effective for fiscal year 
beginning  on  or  after  January  1,  2013,  and  for 
interim period within the fiscal year. Management 
does not expect this guidance to have a material 
impact  on  Toyotaʼs  consolidated  financial 
statements. 

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  managementʼs  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 productsʼ 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

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

Toyotaʼs  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  Toyotaʼs 
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 
regarding  recoveries  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 account 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  historical  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 
managementʼs  estimate  of  the  amount  of  asset 
impairment  in  the  portfolios  of  finance,  trade 
and  other  receivables.  Toyota  determines  the 
allowance for 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 considers the allowance for doubtful 
accounts and credit losses to be adequate based 
on  information  currently  available,  additional 
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 Toyotaʼs retail receivables 
and  finance  lease  receivables  could  experience 
further  downward  pressure.  If  these  factors 
require a significant increase in Toyotaʼs 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  Toyotaʼs 
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”. 
Toyotaʼs “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 Toyotaʼs 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 
respectively.  The  table  below  represents  the 
impact  on  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  in 
Toyotaʼs  financial  services  operations  of  the 
change  in  frequency  of  occurrence  or  expected 
severity  of  loss  as  any  change  impacts  most 
significantly on the financial services operations.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 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  residual  values  for  these  vehicles. 
Toyota 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. 

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 origination 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  Toyotaʼs  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 mainly in the United 
States,  which  Toyota  believes  are  the  critical 

estimates,  in  determining  the  residual  value 
losses,  holding  all  other  assumptions  constant. 
The following table represents the impact on the 
residual value losses in Toyotaʼs 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.

■ Impairment of Long-Lived Assets 

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 reasonable. However, changes in estimates of 
such cash flows and fair values would affect the 
evaluations and negatively affect future operating 
results of the automotive operations. 

■ Pension Costs and Obligations 
Natures of estimates and assumptions 

Pension  costs  and  obligations  are  dependent  on 
assumptions  used  in  calculating  such  amounts. 
include  discount  rates, 
These  assumptions 
benefits  earned,  interest  costs,  expected  rate 
of  return  on  plan  assets,  mortality  rates  and 
other  factors.  Actual  results  that  differ  from  the 
assumptions  are  accumulated  and  amortized 
over  future  periods  and,  therefore,  generally 
affect recognized expense in future periods. While 
management believes that the assumptions used 
are appropriate, differences in actual experience 
or  changes  in  assumptions  may  affect  Toyotaʼs 
pension costs and obligations. 

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 
including,  the  composition 
applicable  factors 
of  plan  assets  held,  assumed  risks  of  asset 
management, historical results of the returns on 
plan assets, Toyotaʼs 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  3.9%  are  the  results  of  assumptions 
used for the various pension plans in calculating 
Toyotaʼs consolidated pension costs for fiscal 2012. 
Also,  a  weighted-average  discount  rate  of  2.6% 

is  the  result  of  assumption  used  for  the  various 
pension plans in calculating Toyotaʼs consolidated 
pension obligations for fiscal 2012.

carrying  value 
determining  if  a  decline  in  value  is  other-than-

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 
Toyotaʼs 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 

The  factors  used  to  assess  the  likelihood  of 
realization  of  the  deferred  tax  assets  are  the 
future  reversal  of  existing  taxable  temporary 
income  and 
differences,  the  future  taxable 
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 for deferred tax assets which 
are not more-likely-than-not to be realized. 

As  of  March  31,  2012,  the  parent  company 
and its national tax filing group in Japan are in a 
cumulative pre-tax loss position in recent years. 
Meanwhile,  Toyota  has  concluded  that  there 
is  sufficient  positive  evidence  to  overcome  the 
negative evidence of this cumulative pre-tax loss 
as  operating  results  from  the  parent  company 
and its national tax filing group in Japan recovered 
in the second half of this fiscal year as a results 
of  increased  production  volume,  vehicle  unit 
sales and cost reduction from the first half of the 

fiscal  year.  Other  positive  evidence  considered 
includes  future  forecasted  taxable  income  in 
the  fiscal  year  2013  and  beyond  and  effective 
tax  planning  strategies,  inclusive  of  sales  of 
appreciated  assets.  This  forecasted  taxable 
income is expected to be generated mainly from 
an  increase  in  worldwide  automotive  industry 
demand  and  continuous  cost  reduction  efforts 
and is anticipated to be sufficient, over a number 
of years, to realize the deferred tax assets prior 
to expiration of operating loss carryforwards in 
2021. 

If the sufficient taxable income for the fiscal 
year 2013 or future years is not achieved due to 
the  factors  which  cannot  be  anticipated  such 
as  high  competition  and  volatility  of  worldwide 
automotive  market,  steep  strengthening  of 
Japanese  yen  and  increase  in  prices  for  raw 
materials,  or  if  tax  planning  strategies  are  no 
longer  viable,  it  could  affect  the  realization  of 
deferred tax assets of the parent company and 
its national tax filing group in Japan. 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk 

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 Toyotaʼs 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

The  financial  instruments  included  in  the 
market risk analysis consist of all of Toyotaʼs cash

■ 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.  Toyotaʼs  most  significant 
foreign  currency  exposures  relate  to  the  U.S. 
dollar and the euro. 

for-sale  equity  securities  that  are  subject  to 
price  risk.  The  fair  value  of  available-for-sale 
equity securities was ¥960.2 billion as of March 
31, 2011 and ¥1,034.3 billion as of March 31, 2012. 
The  potential  change  in  the  fair  value  of  these 
investments, assuming a 10% change in prices, 
would be approximately ¥96.0 billion as of March 
31, 2011 and ¥103.4 billion as of March 31, 2012. 

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  ¥107.6  billion  and  ¥87.9  billion 
at March 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Based 
on Toyotaʼs overall currency exposure (including 
derivative  positions),  the  risk  during  fiscal  2012 
to pre-tax cash flow from currency movements 
was on average ¥87.9 billion, with a high of ¥95.6 
billion and a low of ¥82.5 billion. 

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

■ Interest Rate Risk 

in 

Toyota is subject to market risk from exposures 
to  changes 
its 
interest  rates  based  on 
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 
in  interest  rates  would  be  approximately  ¥139.6 
billion as of March 31, 2011 and ¥144.2 billion as 
of March 31, 2012. 

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

are  instantaneous  parallel  shifts  in  the  yield 
curve.  However,  in  reality,  changes  are  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,  Toyotaʼs  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-

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1

Nature of operations:

is  primarily  engaged 

in  the  design, 
Toyota 
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. 

2

Summary of significant accounting policies:

The  parent  company  and  its  subsidiaries  in 
Japan and its foreign subsidiaries maintain their 
records  and  prepare  their  financial  statements 
in  accordance  with  accounting  principles 
generally  accepted  in  Japan  and  those  of  their 
countries  of  domicile.  Certain  adjustments  and 
reclassifications  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  significant  intercompany  transactions  and 
accounts  have  been  eliminated.  Investments  in 
affiliated  companies  in  which  Toyota  exercises 
significant  influence,  but  which  it  does  not 
in 
control,  are  stated  at  cost  plus  equity 

Investments 

undistributed earnings. Consolidated net income 
includes  Toyotaʼs  equity  in  current  earnings  of 
such  companies,  after  elimination  of  unrealized 
intercompany  profits. 
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 
the  consolidated  financial 
statements, if applicable. 

included 

in 

■ Estimates
The preparation of Toyotaʼs consolidated financial 
statements 
in  conformity  with  U.S.GAAP 
requires  management  to  make  estimates  and 
assumptions  that  affect  the  amounts  reported 
in  the  consolidated  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 
leased  assets, 
impairment  of  long-lived  assets,  pension  costs 
and obligations, fair value of derivative financial 
instruments,  other-than-temporary  losses  on 
marketable  securities,  litigation  liabilities  and 
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. 

for 

■ Translation of foreign currencies

All  asset  and 
liability  accounts  of  foreign 
subsidiaries  and  affiliates  are  translated  into 
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. 

Toyotaʼs 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  operating  lease  accounting.  The  underlying 
vehicles  of  these  transactions  are  recorded  as 
assets  and  are  depreciated  in  accordance  with 
Toyotaʼs 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

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

¥304,375 million, ¥308,903 million and ¥304,713 
million ($3,707 million) for the years ended March 
31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, 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  managementʼs  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  managementʼs  best  estimate  of 

expenses related to future recalls and other safety 
measures. The estimation model for recalls and 
other safety measures takes into account Toyotaʼs 
historical experience and individual occurrences 
of recalls and other safety measures. This change 
resulted from Toyotaʼs 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.  Attorneysʼ  fees 
are expensed as incurred. 

Research  and  development  costs  are 
expensed as incurred. Research and development 
costs  were  ¥725,345  million,  ¥730,340  million 
and  ¥779,806  million  ($9,488  million)  for  the 
years  ended  March  31,  2010,  2011  and  2012, 
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  unrealized  gains  or  losses  included  as  a 
component of accumulated other comprehensive 
income in shareholdersʼ 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 
Toyotaʼs 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 average-cost method, are reflected in the 
statement of income when realized. 

■ Security investments in non-public companies

Security  investments  in  non-public  companies 
are  carried  at  cost  as  fair  value  is  not  readily 
determinable.  If  the  value  of  a  non-public 
security investment is estimated to have declined 
and  such  decline  is  judged  to  be  other-than-
temporary, Toyota recognizes the impairment of 
the 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. 

■ Finance receivables
Finance receivables recorded on Toyotaʼs balance 
sheet  are  comprised  of  the  unpaid  principal 
balance,  plus  accrued  interest,  less  charge-
offs,  net  of  any  unearned  income  and  deferred 
origination  costs  and  the  allowance  for  credit 
losses. Deferred origination costs are 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 Toyotaʼs 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, 
for  contract 
responsibility 
Toyota 
collection and administration. 

retains 

The contract periods 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.  The 
contract  periods  of  these  primarily  range  from 
2  to  5  years.  Lease  contracts  acquired  must

Toyota assumes ownership of the leased vehicle. 
Toyota is responsible for contract collection and 
administration during the lease period. 
take 
is  generally  permitted 
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 

to 

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. 

Wholesale and other dealer loan receivables
portfolio segment

Toyota provides wholesale financing to qualified 
dealers  to  finance  inventories.  Toyota  acquires 
in  vehicles  financed  at 
security 
wholesale.  In  cases  where  additional  security 

interests 

interests  would  be  required,  Toyota  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. 

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. 
A  receivable  account  balance  is  considered 
impaired  when,  based  on  current  information 
and  events,  it  is  probable  that  Toyota  will  be 
unable  to  collect  all  amounts  due  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.  An  account  modified  as  a  troubled 
debt restructuring is considered to be impaired. 
A  troubled  debt  restructuring  occurs  when  an 
account  is  modified  through  a  concession  to  a 
borrower experiencing financial difficulty. 

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, or when 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  generally  on  nonaccrual 
status  when  principal  or  interest  is  90  days  or 
more  past  due.  However,  these  receivables  are 
generally  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, 2011 and 2012, finance receivables on nonaccrual status were as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

■ 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  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.  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. 
Troubled  debt  restructurings  in  the  retail 
lease  receivables 
receivables  and  finance 
portfolio  segments  are  specifically  identified  as 

impaired  and  aggregated  with  their  respective 
portfolio  segments  when  determining 
the 
allowance for credit losses. Impaired loans in the 
retail  receivables  and  finance  lease  receivables 
portfolio segments are insignificant for individual 
evaluation  and  Toyota  has  determined  that 
allowance  for  credit  losses  for  each  of  the 
retail  receivables  and  finance  lease  receivables 
portfolio  segments  would  not  be  materially 
different  if  they  had  been  individually  evaluated 
for impairment. 

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  the  related  measurement  of  impairment. 
Related collateral, if recoverable, is repossessed 
and sold and the account balance is written-off. 
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 
to  unguaranteed 
estimated 
residual  values  on  its  owned  portfolio.  The 
allowance  is  evaluated  considering  projected 
vehicle return rates and projected loss severity. 

losses  related 

Factors  considered 
in  the  determination  of 
projected return rates and loss severity include 
information  on  used 
historical  and  market 
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  levels  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 ¥151,183 million 
and  ¥220,582  million  ($2,684  million)  at  March 
31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Had the “first-in, 
first-out”  basis  been  used  for  those  companies 
using the LIFO basis, inventories would have been 
¥57,943 million and ¥56,799 million ($691 million) 
higher than reported at March 31, 2011 and 2012, 
respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

■ Property, plant and equipment

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 

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 Toyotaʼs 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. 

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  Toyotaʼs  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.

■ Employee benefit obligations

■ Income taxes

Toyota  has  both  defined  benefit  and  defined 
contribution  plans  for  employeesʼ  retirement 

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 liabilities for the expected future 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 
transaction  and  the  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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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 shareholdersʼ 
equity.  Toyotaʼs  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 
Toyotaʼs defined benefit pension plans. 

■ Accounting changes

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  vendorʼs  multiple-deliverable  revenue 
arrangements. Toyota adopted this guidance for 
revenue arrangements entered into or materially 
modified in the fiscal year begun on or after June 
15,  2010.  The  adoption  of  this  guidance  did  not 
have a material impact on Toyotaʼs 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.  Toyota 
adopted this guidance from the fiscal year ended 
March  31,  2012.  The  adoption  of  this  guidance 
did  not  have  a  material  impact  on  Toyotaʼs 
consolidated financial statements. For a further 
discussion of additional disclosures by adoption 
of  this  guidance,  please  see  note  7  to  Toyotaʼs 
consolidated financial statements. 

In May 2011, FASB issued updated guidance 
on  fair  value  measurement  and  disclosure 
requirements.  This  guidance  is  the  amendment 
to  achieve  common  fair  value  measurement 
and  disclosure  requirements  in  U.S.  GAAP  and 
International  Financial  Reporting  Standards. 
Consequently,  this  guidance  changes  some  fair 
value  measurement  principles  and  enhances 

the disclosure requirements. Toyota adopted this 
guidance  from  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31, 
2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a 
material impact on Toyotaʼs consolidated financial 
statements. For a further discussion of additional 
disclosures by adoption of this guidance, please 
see  notes  21  and  26  to  Toyotaʼs  consolidated 
financial statements. 

■ Recent pronouncements to be adopted in 

future periods 

In  June  2011,  FASB  issued  updated  guidance 
income. 
of  presentation  of  comprehensive 
This  guidance  requires  to  present  the  total 
of  comprehensive 
income,  the  components 
of  net  income,  and  the  components  of  other 
comprehensive 
in  a  single 
income  either 
continuous statement of comprehensive income 
or  in  two  separate  but  consecutive  statements. 
This  guidance  is  effective  for  fiscal  year,  and 
interim  period  within  the  fiscal  year,  beginning 

after December 15, 2011. Management does not 
expect this guidance to have a material impact on 
Toyotaʼs consolidated financial statements. 

In  December  2011,  FASB  issued  updated 
guidance  of  disclosures  about  offsetting  assets 
and liabilities. This guidance requires additional 
disclosures  about  gross  and  net  information 
including  financial 
for  assets  and  liabilities 
instruments  eligible  for  offset  in  the  balance 
sheets. This guidance is effective for fiscal year 
beginning  on  or  after  January  1,  2013,  and  for 
interim period within the fiscal year. Management 
does not expect this guidance to have a material 
impact  on  Toyotaʼs  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, 2012.

U.S. dollar amounts: 

U.S. dollar amounts presented in the consolidated 
financial  statements  and  related  notes  are 
included solely for the convenience of the reader 
and  are  unaudited.  These  translations  should 
not be construed as representations that the yen 
amounts actually represent, or have been or could 

be converted into, U.S. dollars. For this purpose, 
the  rate  of  ¥82.19  =  U.S.  $1,  the  approximate 
current  exchange  rate  at  March  31,  2012,  was 
used  for  the  translation  of  the  accompanying 
consolidated  financial  amounts  of  Toyota  as  of 
and for the year ended March 31, 2012.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Unrealized losses continuing over a 12 month 
period or more in the aggregate were not material 
at March 31, 2011 and 2012. 

Proceeds 

As  of  March  31,  2011  and  2012,  maturities 
of  government  bonds  and  other  included  in 
available-for-sale are mainly from 1 to 10 years. 
from  sales  of  available-for-
sale  securities  were  ¥77,025  million,  ¥189,037 
million  and  ¥162,160  million  ($1,973  million)  for 
the years ended March 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, 
respectively. On those sales, gross realized gains 
were  ¥3,186  million,  ¥8,974  million  and  ¥4,822 
million  ($59  million)  and  gross  realized  losses 
were ¥7 million, ¥87 million and ¥15 million  ($0 
million), respectively. 

During the years ended March 31, 2010, 2011 
and  2012,  Toyota  recognized  impairment  losses 
on available-for-sale securities of ¥2,486 million, 
¥7,915 million and ¥53,831 million ($655 million), 
respectively, which are included in “Other income 
(loss),  net”  in  the  accompanying  consolidated 
statements of income. 

long-term 

In  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  Toyota 
maintains 
investment  securities, 
included  in  “Marketable  securities  and  other 
securities investments” and issued by a number 
of  non-public  companies  which  are  recorded 
at  cost,  as  their  fair  values  were  not  readily 
determinable. Management employs a systematic 
methodology to assess the recoverability of such 
investments  by  reviewing  the  financial  viability 
of  the  underlying  companies  and  the  prevailing 
market  conditions  in  which  these  companies 
operate  to  determine  if  Toyotaʼs  investment  in 
each individual company is impaired and whether 
the impairment is other-than-temporary. Toyota 
periodically  performs  this  impairment  test  for 
significant  investments  recorded  at  cost.  If  the 
impairment  is  determined  to  be  other-than-
temporary, the carrying value of the investment 
is written-down by the impaired amount and the 
losses are recognized currently in operations.

Toyota  is  exposed  to  credit  risk  on  Toyotaʼs 
finance receivables. Credit risk is the risk of loss 
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 
credit-risk evaluation process to cover probable 
and estimable losses above.

are  also  monitored  based  on  internal  risk  assessments  by  dealers  on  a  consistent  basis  as  in  the 
United States. These accounts classified as “Credit Watch” or “At Risk” were not significant in other 
regions, and consequently the tables below summarize information for two categories, “Performing” 
and “Default”.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Certain  affiliated  companies  accounted  for 
by  the  equity  method  with  carrying  amounts  of 
¥1,384,159 million and ¥1,467,575 million ($17,856 
million) at March 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively, 
were  quoted  on  various  established  markets 
at  an  aggregate  value  of  ¥1,475,352  million  and 
¥1,477,413  million  ($17,976  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 

income.  Toyota  evaluated 

companies”  in  the  accompanying  consolidated 
statements  of 
its 
investments 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  Toyotaʼs  ability  and  intent  to  retain  those 
investments  in  the  companies  for  a  period  of 
time.  Toyota  did  not  recognize  any  impairment 
loss for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2012. 

Account balances and transactions with affiliated companies are presented below: 

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 VIEsʼ 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 and ¥1,208,136 million ($14,699 
million)  in  retail  finance  receivables,  ¥64,502 

million  and  ¥65,541  million 
($797  million) 
in  restricted  cash  and  ¥941,613  million  and 
¥1,040,816  million  ($12,664  million)  in  secured 
debt as of March 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. 
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 securitization transactions. 

As for VIEs other than those specified above, 
neither  the  aggregate  size  of  these  VIEs  nor 
Toyotaʼs involvements in these VIEs are material 
to Toyotaʼs 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. 

Liabilities 

for  product  warranties  and 
liabilities for recalls and other safety measures 
have been combined into a single table showing 
an  aggregate  liability  for  quality  assurances 
due to the fact that both are liabilities for costs 
to  repair  or  replace  defects  of  vehicles  and  the 
amounts  incurred  for  recalls  and  other  safety 
measures  may  affect  the  amounts  incurred  for 
product warranties and vice versa. 

Liabilities for quality assurances are included 
in “Accrued expenses” in the consolidated balance 
sheets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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,  2010,  2011  and 
2012. The statutory tax rates in effect for the year 

in which the temporary differences are expected 
to  reverse  are  used  to  calculate  the  tax  effects 
of temporary differences which are expected to 
reverse in the future years. 

Reconciliation of the differences between the statutory tax rate and the effective income tax rate is 

as follows: 

Statutory tax rate
Increase (reduction) in taxes resulting from:

Non-deductible expenses
Deferred tax liabilities on undistributed earnings of foreign 

subsidiaries

Deferred tax liabilities on undistributed earnings of affiliates 

accounted for by the equity method

Valuation allowance
Tax credits

that of foreign subsidiaries

Unrecognized tax benefits adjustments

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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 for deferred tax assets which 
are not more-likely-than-not to be realized. 

As  of  March  31,  2012,  the  parent  company 
and its national tax filing group in Japan are in a 
cumulative pre-tax loss position in recent years. 
Meanwhile,  Toyota  has  concluded  that  there 
is  sufficient  positive  evidence  to  overcome  the 
negative evidence of this cumulative pre-tax loss 
as operating results from the parent company and 
its national tax filing group in Japan recovered in 
the second half of this fiscal year as a results of 
increased production volume, vehicle unit sales 
and  cost  reduction  from  the  first  half  of  the 
fiscal  year.  Other  positive  evidence  considered 
includes  future  forecasted  taxable  income  in 
the  fiscal  year  2013  and  beyond  and  effective 
tax  planning  strategies,  inclusive  of  sales  of 
appreciated  assets.  This  forecasted  taxable 
income is expected to be generated mainly from 
an  increase  in  worldwide  automotive  industry 
demand  and  continuous  cost  reduction  efforts 
and is anticipated to be sufficient, over a number 

of years, to realize the deferred tax assets prior 
to expiration of operating loss carryforwards in 
2021. 

If the sufficient taxable income for the fiscal 
year 2013 or future years is not achieved due to the 
factors which cannot be anticipated such as high 
competition and volatility of worldwide automotive 
market,  steep  strengthening  of  Japanese  yen 
and increase in prices for raw materials, or if tax 
planning strategies are no longer viable, it could 
affect the realization of deferred tax assets of the 
parent company and its national tax filing group 
in Japan. 

Operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes 
as of March 31, 2012 in Japan and foreign countries 
($6,036  million)  and 
were  ¥496,104  million 
¥643,190 million ($7,826 million), respectively, and 
are available as an offset against future taxable 
income.  The  majority  of  these  carryforwards  in 
Japan and foreign countries expire in years 2013 to 
2021 and expire in years 2013 to 2031, respectively. 
Tax  credit  carryforwards  as  of  March  31,  2012 
in  Japan  and  foreign  countries  were  ¥99,423 
million  ($1,210  million)  and  ¥9,003  million  ($110 
million),  respectively,  and  the  majority  of  these 
carryforwards  in  Japan  and  foreign  countries 
expire in years 2013 to 2015 and expire in years 
2014 to 2023, respectively. 

The  valuation  allowance  mainly  relates  to  deferred  tax  assets  of  operating  loss  and  foreign  tax 
credit carryforwards for tax purposes that are not expected to be realized. The net changes in the total 
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 consist 
of the following: 

Valuation allowance at beginning of year

Deductions

entities  due  to  changes  in  ownership  interest 
and currency translation adjustments during the 
years ended March 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012. 

Because  management  intends  to  reinvest 
undistributed  earnings  of  foreign  subsidiaries 
to the extent not expected to be remitted in the 

foreseeable  future,  management  has  made  no 
provision for income taxes on those undistributed 
earnings aggregating ¥2,690,416 million ($32,734 
million) as of March 31, 2012. Toyota estimates an 
additional tax provision of ¥96,320 million ($1,172 
million)  would  be  required  if  the  full  amount  of 
those undistributed earnings were remitted.

The  amount  of  unrecognized  tax  benefits 
that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax 
rate  was  not  material  at  March  31,  2010,  2011 
and  2012,  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), 

net”.  The  amounts  of  interest  and  penalties 
accrued as of and recognized for the years ended

The Companies Act provides that an amount 
equal to 10% of distributions from surplus paid by 
the parent company and its Japanese subsidiaries 
be appropriated as a capital reserve or a retained 
earnings reserve. No further appropriations 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,  2011  and 
2012  was  ¥171,062  million  and  ¥173,711  million 
($2,114 million), respectively. The Companies 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.

On  January  1,  2012,  the  parent  company 
implemented  share  exchanges  as  a  result  of 
which  the  parent  company  became  a  wholly-
owned parent company and each of Toyota Auto 
Body Co., Ltd. and Kanto Auto Works, Ltd. became 
a  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  and  the  parent 
company  acquired  additional  shares  of  each 
subsidiary. As a result of these share exchanges, 
the  parent  company  issued  31,151,148  shares  of 
treasury  stock,  and  treasury  stock  decreased 
by  ¥125,819  million  ($1,531  million)  and  losses 

on  disposal  of  treasury  stock  occurred  in  the 
amount  of  ¥45,916  million  ($559  million).  As  a 
result,  additional  paid-in  capital  decreased  by 
¥551  million  ($7  million)  and  retained  earnings 
decreased  by  ¥45,365  million  ($552  million), 
respectively.  As  a  result  of  acquiring  additional 
shares  of  each  subsidiary,  noncontrolling 
interests  decreased  by  ¥117,881  million  ($1,434 
million),  accumulated  other  comprehensive 
income  (loss)  decreased  by  ¥6,503  million  ($79

Stock-based compensation: 

In June 1997, the parent companyʼs 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 
inception,  the 
June  2010,  since  the  plansʼ 
shareholders have approved the authorization for 
the grant of options for the purchase of Toyotaʼs 
common stock. Authorized shares for each year 
that remain ungranted are unavailable for grant 
in  future  years.  Stock  options  granted  in  and 
after August 2006 have terms of 8 years and an 
exercise  price  equal  to  1.025  times  the  closing 
price  of  Toyotaʼs  common  stock  on  the  date  of 
grant. These options generally vest 2 years from 
the date of grant.

For the years ended March 31, 2010, 2011 and 
2012, Toyota recognized stock-based compensation 
expenses for stock options of ¥2,446 million, ¥2,522 
million and ¥1,539 million ($19 million) as selling, 
general and administrative expenses. 

The  weighted-average  grant-date  fair  value 
of options granted during the years ended March 
31, 2010 and 2011 was ¥803 and ¥724, respectively 
per  share.  The  fair  value  of  options  granted 
is  amortized  over  the  option  vesting  period  in 
determining  net  income  attributable  to  Toyota 
Motor Corporation in the consolidated statements 
of  income.  The  grant-date  fair  value  of  options 
granted  is  estimated  using  the  Black-Scholes 
option pricing model with the following weighted-

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 
circumstances,  the  minimum  payment  prior  to 
retirement age is an amount based on voluntary 
retirement. Employees receive additional benefits 
on  involuntary  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 
accumulated  “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 
adjustment  rate  applied  to  represent  voluntary 

additional 
retirement.  Employees 
benefits  upon  involuntary  retirement,  including 
retirement at the age limit. 

receive 

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. 

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  institutions 
in  accordance  with  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 
substantially  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. 

Information regarding Toyotaʼs defined benefit plans is as follows:

Expected return on plan assets
Rate of compensation increase

During  the  years  ended  March  31,  2010, 
2011 and 2012, the parent company and certain 
in  Japan  employ  “point”  based 
subsidiaries 
retirement  benefit  plans  and  do  not  use  the 
rates of compensation increase to determine net 
periodic pension cost. 

Toyotaʼs  policy  and  objective 

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, 
the  returns  on  plan 
historical  results  of 
assets,  Toyotaʼs  principal  policy  for  plan  asset 
management, and forecasted market conditions. 
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  management  are  determined  based  on 
plan  asset  management  policies  of  each  plan 
which  are  established  to  achieve  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, approximately 30% is invested in debt 
securities,  and  the  rest  of  them  is  invested  in 
insurance  contracts  and  other  products.  When 
actual  allocations  are  not  in  line  with  target 
allocations,  Toyota  rebalances  its  investments 
in accordance with the policies. Prior to making 
individual investments, Toyota performs in-depth 
assessments of corresponding factors 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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 51% of Japanese stocks 
and 49% of foreign stocks as of March 31, 2011, 
and 52% of Japanese stocks and 48% of foreign 
stocks as of March 31, 2012. 

Quoted market prices for identical securities 
are  used  to  measure  fair  value  of  government 
include  25%  of 
bonds.  Government  bonds 
Japanese government bonds and 75% of foreign 
government  bonds  as  of  March  31,  2011,  and 
25% of Japanese government bonds and 75% of 
foreign government bonds as of March 31, 2012. 
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 
administrator  of  the  fund,  and  are  categorized 
by  the  ability  to  redeem  investments  at  the 
measurement day. 

The  fair  values  of  insurance  contracts  are 
measured using contracted amount with accrued 
interest. 

Other  consists  of  cash  equivalents,  other 
private  placement  investment  funds  and  other 
assets. The fair values of other private placement 
investment  funds  are  measured  using  the  NAV 
provided by the administrator of the fund, and are 
categorized by the ability to redeem investments 
at the measurement day. 

The following tables summarize the changes in Level 3 plan assets measured at fair value for the

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

■ Postretirement benefits other than  

pensions and postemployment benefits 

Toyotaʼs 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  providers.  The  costs  of  these  benefits  are 
recognized over the period the employee provides 
credited  service  to  Toyota.  Toyotaʼs  obligations 
under these arrangements are not material. 

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. 

For the years ended March 31, 2010, 2011 and 
2012, the ineffective portion of Toyotaʼs fair value 
hedge  relationships  was  not  material.  For  fair 
value  hedging  relationships,  the  components  of 
each derivativeʼs 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.

2012 is ¥16,109 million ($196 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  ¥9,987  million  ($122  million)  as  of 
March 31, 2012.

arose 
These  financial  instruments  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,  Toyotaʼs  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 
its  counterparties.  Counterparties

instruments  represent, 
in  general,  international  financial  institutions. 
Additionally,  Toyota  does  not  have  a  significant 
exposure  to  any  individual  counterparty.  Toyota 
believes that the overall credit risk related to its 
financial instruments is not significant. 

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of Toyotaʼs financial instruments, excluding

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

■ Cash and cash equivalents and 

■ Other receivables 

time deposits

In the normal course of business, substantially all 
cash and cash equivalents and time deposits are 
highly  liquid  and  are  carried  at  amounts  which 
approximate fair value due to its short duration. 
Cash  equivalents  and  time  deposits  include 
negotiable certificate of deposit measured at fair 
value on a recurring basis. Where money market 
funds produce a daily net asset value in an active 
market,  this  value  is  used  to  determine  the  fair 
value of the fund investment, and the investment 
is classified in Level 1. All other types of cash and 
cash equivalents and time deposits are classified 
in Level 2. 

■ Finance receivables, net

The fair values of finance receivables are estimated 
by discounting expected cash flows to present value 
using  internal  assumptions,  including  prepayment 
speeds,  expected  credit  losses  and  collateral 
value.  Certain  impaired  finance  receivables  are 
measured  at  fair  value  on  a  nonrecurring  basis 
based on collateral values. 

As unobservable inputs are utilized, finance 

receivables are classified in Level 3. 

Other  receivables  are  short-term  receivables. 
Other  receivables  are  carried  at  amounts  which 
approximate fair value, and the difference between 
the carrying amount and the fair value is not material. 
Other receivables are classified in Level 3.

■ Short-term borrowings and long-term debt 

long-term  debt 

The  fair  values  of  short-term  borrowings  and 
total 
including  the  current 
portion,  except  for  secured  loans  provided 
by  securitization  transactions  using  special-
purpose  entities,  are  estimated  based  on  the 
discounted  amounts  of  future  cash  flows  using 
Toyotaʼs  current  borrowing  rates  for  similar 
liabilities. As these inputs are observable, these 
loans are classified in Level 2. 

The fair values of the secured loans provided 
by  securitization  transactions  are  estimated 
based  on  current  market  rates  and  credit 
spreads for debt with similar maturities. Internal 
assumptions  including  prepayment  speeds  and 
expected credit losses are used to estimate the 
timing of cash flows to be paid on the underlying 
securitized  assets.  As  these  valuations  utilize 
unobservable 
loans 
are  classified  in  Level  3.  See  note  12  to  the 
consolidated financial statements for information 
regarding the secured loans.

Other commitments and contingencies, concentrations and factors that may affect future operations: 

■ Commitments 

to make required payments. 

Commitments outstanding at March 31, 2012 for 
the  purchase  of  property,  plant  and  equipment 
and  other  assets  totaled  ¥73,004  million  ($888 
million). 

■ Guarantees 

Toyota enters into contracts with Toyota dealers 
to  guarantee  customersʼ  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 maturity of 
installment  payments,  and  at  March  31,  2012, 
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 

($20,625  million).  Liabilities 

The  maximum  potential  amount  of  future 
payments  as  of  March  31,  2012  is  ¥1,695,140 
for 
million 
guarantees totaling ¥13,981 million ($170 million) 
have been provided as of March 31, 2012. 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 vehicle 
models  including  the  Prius.  Set  forth  below  is 
a  description  of  various  claims,  lawsuits  and 
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  consolidated  for  pretrial  proceedings  into 
a  single  multi-district  litigation  in  the  United 
States  District  Court  for  the  Central  District  of 
California. In addition, of more than 300 individual 
product liability personal injury cases relating to 
unintended acceleration pending against Toyota, 
the federal cases have been consolidated into the 
multi-district litigation. This consolidated federal 
included  document  production, 
action  has 
depositions and various motions. The remaining 
individual product liability personal injury cases 
relating 
to  unintended  acceleration  remain 
pending  in  various  state  courts  in  the  United 
States.  Additionally,  there  were  approximately 
10 putative class actions in various state courts, 
including  California.  All  cases  except 
the 
California  case  have  been  consolidated  into  the 
multi-district  litigation.  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 2 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  March  2010,  Toyota 
was sued in 6 putative shareholder class actions 
on behalf of investors in Toyota ADRs 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  Securities  Exchange 
Act  of  1934  and  Japanʼs  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.  The  plaintiffs  seek 
monetary damages in an amount to be proven at 
trial, interest and attorneysʼ fees and costs. The 
judge dismissed with prejudice the claims based 
on Japanʼs Financial Instruments and Exchange 
Act. The lead plaintiff has moved for certification 
of  a  class  of  purchasers  of  Toyotaʼs  ADRs  from 
April 7, 2008 through February 2, 2010. A hearing 
on the motion is set for July 23, 2012. 

Toyota  believes  that 

it  has  meritorious 
defenses  to  all  of  these  cases  and  claims,  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 
from the SEC. The subpoenas and the voluntary 
request  primarily  seek  documents  related  to 
unintended  acceleration  and  certain  financial 
records.  This  is  a  coordinated  investigation  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  production  of 
documents related to the recalls of the steering 
relay rod. 

In  February  2012,  the  NHTSA  initiated  a 
preliminary  investigation  of  a  potentially  faulty 
power  window  master  switch  in  the  driver-side 
doors  in  model  year  2007  Camry  and  RAV4 
vehicles.  In  June  2012,  the  NHTSA  upgraded 
the  preliminary  investigation  to  an  engineering 
analysis  and  expanded  the  scope  to  include 
model  year  2007  through  2009  Camry,  Camry 
hybrid,  RAV4  and  Yaris  as  well  as  model  year 
2008 Highlander hybrid. 

Toyota  has  also  received  subpoenas  and 
formal  and  informal  requests  from  various 

statesʼ attorneys general, including the Executive 
Committee  for  a  group  of  30  statesʼ  plus  one 
territoryʼs  attorney  general,  and  certain  local 
governmental  agencies 
various 
recalls,  the  facts  underlying  its  recent  recalls 
and customer handling related to those recalls. 
Toyota  is  cooperating  with  the  government 
investigations,  which  are 

regarding 

in  their 

agencies 
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,  2012  related  to  these  legal 
proceedings  and  governmental  investigations 
are  not  material  to  Toyotaʼs  financial  position, 
results  of  operations  or  cash  flow.  Beyond  the 
amounts  accrued,  Toyota  is  unable  to  estimate 
a range of reasonably possible loss, if any, for 
the  cases  described  above  because  (i)  many  of 
the proceedings are in evidence gathering stages, 
(ii) the likelihood of classes being certified or the 
ultimate  size  of  the  classes,  if  any,  is  uncertain, 
(iii) the outcome of pending or future appeals or 
motions is unknown, (iv) significant factual issues 
need to be resolved, (v) in some cases, novel legal 
issues are presented, and/or (vi) the differences 
between the matters as well as their interrelations 
further  complicate  the  prediction  of  outcomes. 
In  reaching  this  conclusion,  Toyota  considers 
the  stages  of  these  matters,  the  discovery  in 
and  information  available  about  these  matters, 

Toyotaʼs  experience  with  similar  matters  and 
Toyotaʼs  assessment  of  the  matters.  Although 
an  estimation  is  not  possible  based  on  current 
information,  the  resolution  of  these  matters 
could have an adverse effect on Toyotaʼs financial 
position, results of operations or cash flows. 

United States Antitrust Proceedings
In  February  2003,  Toyota,  GM,  Ford,  Daimler 
Chrysler,  Honda,  Nissan,  BMW  and  their  sales 
subsidiaries  in  the  United  States  and  Canada, 
as  well  as  the  National  Automobile  Dealers 
the  Canadian  Automobile 
Association  and 
Dealers Association were named as defendants 
in approximately 85 purported federal and state 
class action lawsuits 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 consolidated within the 
respective  states.  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

it, 

Toyota  has  various  other  legal  actions,  other 
governmental  proceedings  and  other  claims 
pending  against 
including  other  product 
liability claims in the United States. For the same 
reasons  discussed  above  relating  to  the  recall-
related  legal  proceedings,  Toyota  is  unable  to 
estimate a range of reasonably possible 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  Toyotaʼs 
financial  position,  results  of  operations  or  cash 
flows. 

Environmental Matters and Others

In October 2000, the European Union brought into 
effect  a  directive  that  requires  member  states 
to  promulgate  regulations  implementing  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, 2002 
and  dismantling  and  recycling  those  vehicles. 
Beginning  January  1,  2007,  this  requirement 
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,  particularly  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 from vehicles 
prior to shredding. This directive impacts Toyotaʼs 
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. 

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,  2012.  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 

equivalent 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 
collective  bargaining  agreements  and  a 
substantial  portion  of  these  employees  are 
working under the agreement that will expire on 
December 31, 2014.

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, 2011 and 2012 because the 
optionsʼ  exercise  prices  were  greater  than  the 
average market price per common share during 

the period. 

In  addition  to  the  disclosure  requirements 
under U.S.GAAP, Toyota discloses the information 
below  in  order  to  provide  financial  statement 
users with valuable information. 

The  following  table  shows  Toyota  Motor  Corporation  shareholdersʼ  equity  per  share  as  of  March 
31, 2011 and 2012. Toyota Motor Corporation shareholdersʼ equity per share amounts are calculated by 
dividing Toyota Motor Corporation shareholdersʼ equitiesʼ amount at the end of each period by the number 
of shares issued and outstanding, excluding treasury stock at the end of the corresponding period.

or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices 
that are observable for the assets or liabilities

The following is description of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value, information about 

the valuation techniques used to measure fair value, key inputs and significant assumption: 

■ Cash equivalents and time deposits

Cash  equivalents  include  money  market  funds 
and other investments with original maturities of 
three months or less. Cash equivalents classified 
in Level 2 include primarily negotiable certificate 
of deposit with original maturities of three months 
or less. These are measured at fair value using 
observable  interest  rates  in  the  market.  Time 
deposits include negotiable certificate of deposit 
with original maturities over three months. These 
are  measured  at  fair  value  using  observable 
interest rates in the market. 

■ Marketable securities and other securities

investments 

Marketable  securities  and  other  securities 

investments include government bonds, common 
stocks and other investments. Government bonds 
include 77% of Japanese government bonds, and 
23% of U.S. and European government bonds as of 
March 31, 2011, and 60% of Japanese government 
bonds,  and  40%  of  U.S.,  European  and  other 
government  bonds  as  of  March  31,  2012.  Listed 
stocks on the Japanese stock markets represent 
86% and 83% of common stocks as of March 31, 
2011 and 2012, respectively. 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

These assets are classified in Level 2. During the 
year ended March 31, 2012, certain government 
bonds were transferred from in Level 1 to Level 
2  due  to  the  lack  of  quoted  prices  for  identical 
assets traded in an active market. 

■ Derivative financial instruments 

See  note  20  to  the  consolidated  financial 
statements about derivative financial instruments. 
Toyota  estimates  the  fair  value  of  derivative 
financial  instruments  using  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. These derivative financial 
instruments  are  classified  in  Level  2.  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.  These  derivative  financial  instruments  are 
classified in Level 3. Toyotaʼs derivative fair value 
measurements  consider  assumptions  about 
counterparty and our own non-performance risk, 
using such as credit default probabilities. 

The following table summarizes the changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value 

on a recurring basis for the periods ended March 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012:

“Included 

in  earnings” 

in  marketable 
securities and other securities investments and 
derivative  financial  instruments  are  included  in 
“Other income (loss), net” and “Cost of financing 
operations”  in  the  accompanying  consolidated 
statements of income, respectively. 

In  the  reconciliation  table  above,  derivative 
financial instruments are presented net of assets 
and liabilities. The other amount primarily includes 
the  impact  of  currency  translation  adjustments 
for the year ended March 31, 2010 and includes 
consolidated  retained  interests  in  securitized 
financial receivables of ¥(13,165) million, certain 
derivative financial instruments transferred into 
Level 2 due to be measured at observable inputs 
of  ¥(21,413)  million  and  the  impact  of  currency 
translation  adjustments  for  the  year  ended 
March 31, 2011, and includes the impacts of level 

transfers  and  currency  translation  adjustments 
for the year ended March 31, 2012. 

As of March 31, 2012, the Level 3 assets and 
liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring 
basis are not significant. 

Certain  assets  and  liabilities  are  measured 
at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. During the 
years  ended  March  31,  2011  and  2012,  Toyota 
measured  certain  finance  receivables  at  fair 
value of ¥32,338 million and ¥32,056 million ($390 
million)  based  on  the  collateral  value,  resulting 
in  gains  of  ¥2,083  million  and  ¥1,736  million 
($21 million). This fair value measurement on a 
nonrecurring  basis  is  classified  in  Level  3.  See 
note 21 to the consolidated financial statements 
for  the  fair  value  measurement.  These  Level  3 
financial assets are not significant.

is  responsible 

Toyotaʼs  management 
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. Toyotaʼs 
internal control over financial reporting includes 
those policies and procedures that:

1)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records 
in  reasonable  detail,  accurately 
that 
and  fairly  reflect  the  transactions  and 
dispositions of Toyotaʼs assets;

2)  provide 

reasonable  assurance 

that 
transactions are recorded as necessary 
to  permit  preparation  of  financial 
in  accordance  with  U.S. 
statements 
GAAP,  and  that  Toyotaʼs  receipts  and 
expenditures  are  being  made  only 
in  accordance  with  authorizations  of 
Toyotaʼs management and directors; and
3)  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding 
prevention  or 
timely  detection  of 
unauthorized  acquisition,  use,  or 
disposition  of  Toyotaʼs  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 compliance with the policies 
or procedures may deteriorate.

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha
(“Toyota Motor Corporation”)

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated 
balance  sheets  and  the  related  consolidated 
statements  of  income,  shareholdersʼ  equity 
and  cash  flows  present  fairly,  in  all  material 
respects, the financial position of Toyota Motor 
Corporation  and  its  subsidiaries  at  March 
31,  2011  and  2012,  and  the  results  of  their 
operations and their cash flows for each of the 
three years in the period ended March 31, 2012 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, 2012, 
Internal 
based  on  criteria  established 
Control—Integrated Framework issued by the 
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 
Treadway Commission (COSO). The Companyʼs 
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 Managementʼs Annual Report on 
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our 
responsibility  is  to  express  opinions  on  these 

in 

financial  statements  and  on  the  Companyʼs 
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 
(United  States).  Those  standards 
Board 
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 companyʼs 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  companyʼs  internal 
control over financial reporting includes those 
policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the 
maintenance  of  records  that,  in  reasonable 
detail,  accurately  and 
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 authorizations 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 companyʼs assets that 

fairly  reflect 

could  have  a  material  effect  on  the  financial 
statements.

its 

inherent 

Because  of 

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 
compliance  with  the  policies  or  procedures 
may deteriorate.
