PART I
Reviewing the world economy for fiscal 2023, energy prices soared due to geopolitical tensions, and the rise in consumer prices accelerated in
both advanced and emerging countries. From August onward, demand declined because of concerns regarding a slowdown in the global economy due to
the acceleration of monetary tightening by central banks around the world. Although the automotive market continued to be subjected to global
production constraints due to the tightening of global supply of, and increasing demand for, semiconductors as well as components shortages, the
production cuts eased toward the second half of the fiscal year.

Table of Contents
Changes in demand for automobiles are continuing, and it is unclear how this situation will transition in the future. Toyota’s financial condition
and results of operations may be adversely affected if the changes in demand for automobiles continues or progresses further beyond Toyota’s
expectations. 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 downward price pressure and adversely affect Toyota’s
financial condition and results of operations.
Toyota’s future success depends on its ability to offer new, innovative and competitively priced products that meet customer demand on a timely
basis.
Meeting customer demand by introducing attractive new vehicles and reducing the amount of time required for product development are critical to
automotive manufacturers. In particular, it is critical to meet customer demand with respect to quality, safety, reliability and sustainability. The timely
introduction of new vehicle models, at competitive prices, meeting rapidly changing customer preferences and demand is more fundamental to Toyota’s
success than ever, as the automotive market is rapidly transforming in light of the changing global economy and technological advances. 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, sustainability 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 its available
technology, intellectual property, sources of raw materials and parts and components, and production capacity, including cost reduction capacity. Further,
there is no assurance that Toyota will be able to offer new products or implement capital expenditures at the level and times planned by management,
including as described in targets or goals that we have disclosed publicly. Toyota’s inability to develop and offer products that meet customers’
preferences and demand with respect to quality, safety, reliability, styling, sustainability and other features in a timely manner could result in a lower
market share and reduced sales volumes and margins, and may adversely affect Toyota’s financial condition and results of operations.
Toyota’s ability to market and distribute effectively is an integral part of Toyota’s successful sales.
Toyota’s success in the sale of vehicles depends on its ability to market and distribute effectively based on distribution networks and sales
techniques tailored to the needs of its customers. There is no assurance that Toyota will be able to develop sales techniques and distribution networks
that effectively adapt to changing customer preferences or changes in the geopolitical and regulatory environment in the major markets in which it
operates. Toyota’s inability to maintain well-developed sales techniques and distribution networks may result in decreased sales and market share and
may adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.
Toyota’s success is significantly impacted by its ability to maintain and develop its brand image and reputation.
In the highly competitive automotive industry, it is critical to maintain and develop a brand image and reputation. In order to do so, it is necessary
to further increase stakeholders’ confidence by ensuring that the Toyota group and its suppliers thoroughly comply with laws and regulations, provide
safe, high-quality products that meet customer preferences and demand, as well as timely and appropriately disseminate information to stakeholders. It
is also becoming increasingly important for companies to contribute to sustainability.
However, the Toyota group may not be able to ensure that it or its suppliers do so in all cases. Concerns regarding product safety or our product
safety validation processes, whether raised internally, by regulators, or consumer advocates, can lead to product delays, recalls, lost sales, regulatory
investigations, legal claims that cause reputational damage. For example, on March 4, 2022, Hino Motors, Ltd. (“Hino”), a consolidated
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312523179181/d360541d20f.htm 7/224

subsidiary of Toyota, confirmed and announced misconduct in relation to its applications for certification concerning the emissions and the fuel
economy performance of certain of its engines for the Japanese market. Additionally, Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. (“Daihatsu”), a consolidated subsidiary
of Toyota, confirmed and announced misconduct in relation to its applications for certification concerning safety tests of certain of its vehicles for the
overseas market on April 28, 2023 for vehicles developed by Daihatsu. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — 4.B Business Overview —
Selected Initiatives” for further discussion of these and related matters. In addition, actual or perceived failures on the part of Toyota or its suppliers to
contribute to sustainability or to meet certain sustainability-related goals or objectives, including those relating to climate change or the protection of
human rights in Toyota’s supply chain, may also harm Toyota’s reputation. Any insufficient measures taken by the Toyota group or its suppliers to
maintain and develop Toyota’s brand image and reputation may have an adverse effect on Toyota’s financial condition and results of operations.
Toyota relies on suppliers for the provision of certain supplies including parts, components and raw materials.
Toyota purchases supplies including parts, components and raw materials from a number of external suppliers located around the world. For some
supplies, Toyota relies on a single supplier or a limited number of suppliers, whose replacement with another supplier may be difficult. Inability to
obtain supplies from a single or limited source supplier may result in difficulty obtaining supplies and may restrict Toyota’s ability to produce vehicles.
Furthermore, even if Toyota were to rely on a large number of suppliers, first-tier suppliers with whom Toyota directly transacts may in turn rely on a
single second-tier supplier or limited second-tier suppliers.
Irrespective of the number of suppliers, Toyota’s ability to continue to obtain supplies from its suppliers in a timely and cost-effective manner is
subject to a number of factors, some of which are not within Toyota’s control. These factors include the ability of Toyota’s suppliers to provide a
continued source of supply, and Toyota’s ability to effectively compete and obtain competitive prices from suppliers. Circumstances that may adversely
affect such abilities include geopolitical tensions as well as related governmental actions such as economic sanctions.
A loss of any single or limited source supplier, or inability to obtain supplies from suppliers in a timely and cost-effective manner, could lead to
increased costs or delays or suspensions in Toyota’s production and deliveries, which could have an adverse effect on Toyota’s financial condition and
results of operations.
Toyota’s operations and vehicles rely on various digital and information technologies, as well as information security, which are subject to frequent
attack.
Toyota depends on various information technology networks and systems, some of which are managed by third parties, to process, transmit and
store electronic information, including sensitive data, and to manage or support a variety of business processes and activities, including manufacturing,
research and development, supply chain management, sales and accounting. In addition, Toyota vehicles may rely on various digital and information
technologies, including information service and driving assistance functions.
Despite security measures, Toyota’s digital and information technology networks and systems may be vulnerable to damage, disruptions,
shutdowns due to unauthorized access or attacks by hackers, computer
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312523179181/d360541d20f.htm 8/224

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 or otherwise uses, 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. In particular, cyber-attacks or other intentional malfeasance are
increasing in terms of intensity, sophistication and frequency, and Toyota has been and expects to continue to be the subject of such attacks. Such attacks
have, in some cases, and could again disrupt critical operations, disclose sensitive data, interfere with information services and driving assistance
functions in Toyota’s vehicles, and/or give rise to legal claims or proceedings, liability or regulatory penalties under applicable laws, which could have
an adverse effect on Toyota’s brand image and its financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, similar attacks on Toyota’s suppliers and
business partners have had, and may in the future have, a similar negative impact on Toyota.
Toyota is exposed to risks associated with climate change, including the physical risks of climate change and risks from the transition to a lower-
carbon economy.
Risks associated with climate change are subject to increasing societal, regulatory and political focus in Japan and globally. These risks include the
physical risks of climate change and risks from the transition to a lower-carbon economy.
The physical risks of climate change include both acute, event-driven risks such as those relating to hurricanes, floods and tornadoes, as well as
longer-term weather patterns and related effects, such as sustained higher temperatures, sea level rise, drought and increased wildfires. Despite Toyota’s
contingency planning, large-scale disasters due to extreme weather conditions have in the past harmed, and may in the future again harm, Toyota’s
employees or its facilities and other assets, as well as those of Toyota’s suppliers and other business partners, thereby adversely affecting Toyota’s
production, sales or other operational capacities. Large-scale disasters may also adversely affect the financial condition of Toyota’s customers, and
thereby demand for its products and services.
Transition risks are those attributable to regulatory, technological and market changes to address the mitigation of, or adaptation to, climate-related
risks. For example, Toyota is subject to the risk of changes in customer demand for vehicles due to such factors as changes in laws, regulations and
government policies relating to climate change, technological innovation to address climate change, and new entrants into the automobile industry that
seek to capitalize on changing market dynamics. Changes in customer demand may pose ancillary risks and challenges, such as Toyota’s having to
establish new, or enhance existing, supply networks in order to source the raw materials, parts and components necessary for it to manufacture the
products then in demand at desired volumes and at competitive costs. Toyota may incur significant costs and expenses as a result of the materialization
of such risks, or in its efforts to mitigate or adapt to such risks. Toyota’s inability to develop and offer products that meet customers’ preferences and
demand in a timely manner could result in a lower market share and reduced sales revenues and margins, and may adversely affect Toyota’s financial
condition and results of operations. For a further discussion of risks associated with climate change, see “Item 4. Information on the Company — 4B.
Business Overview — Climate Change-related Disclosures.”
Furthermore, Toyota has published disclosures on climate-change related matters relating to its business and its partners. Such disclosures include
forward-looking statements based on Toyota’s expectations and assumptions, involving substantial discretion and forecasts about costs and future
circumstances, which may prove to be incorrect. In addition, Toyota’s initiatives relating to climate change may not have the intended results, and
estimates concerning the timing and cost of implementing, and ability to meet, stated goals are subject to risks and uncertainties. As a result, Toyota may
not be able to meet its goals, including those set forth in this annual report, on expected timing or at all, or within expected costs.
In particular, progress toward achieving Toyota’s climate-related targets requires significant investment of resources and management time, as
well as implementation of new compliance and risk management systems,
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312523179181/d360541d20f.htm 9/224

Table of Contents
internal controls and other internal procedures. Toyota’s ability to achieve its climate-related goals, which are to be pursued over the long-term and are
inherently aspirational, is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of Toyota’s control, such as changes in environmental
and energy regulation and policy, the pace of technological change and innovation, and the actions of Toyota’s customers and competitors. Any failure,
or perceived failure, by Toyota to achieve its climate-change related goals, including those set forth in this annual report, could adversely impact its
reputation, financial condition and results of operations.
Toyota’s operations are dependent on securing, retaining and developing talented, diverse employees.
Given in particular the rapid changes in its business environment and its efforts to transform into a mobility company, Toyota’s success depends
on its ability to continue to recruit, retain and develop talented and diverse employees. However, competition for such employees is intense and if
Toyota cannot recruit and retain diverse employees with a high level of expertise and extensive experience as planned, or it is unable to provide its
employees with the opportunities, training and resources they need to develop themselves further, it may reduce Toyota’s competitiveness, and its
financial condition, results of operations and cashflow could be adversely affected.
Toyota believes that its use of certain derivative financial instruments including foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps and
increased localized production of its products have reduced, but not eliminated, the effects of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations. Nonetheless, a negative impact resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates may adversely
affect Toyota’s financial condition and results of operations. For a further discussion of currency and interest rate fluctuations and the use of derivative
financial instruments, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Operating Results — 5.A Operating Results — Overview —
Currency Fluctuations,” “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” and notes 19 and 20 to Toyota’s consolidated financial
statements.
High prices of raw materials and strong pressure on Toyota’s suppliers has and could continue to negatively impact Toyota’s profitability.
Increases in raw materials prices that Toyota and Toyota’s suppliers use in manufacturing their products or parts and components such as steel,
precious metals, non-ferrous alloys including aluminum, and plastic parts, may lead to higher production costs for parts and components. This could, in
turn, negatively impact Toyota’s profitability because Toyota may not be able to pass all those costs on to its customers or require its suppliers to absorb
such costs. For example, Toyota believes that the surge in materials costs has had a significant negative impact on its business performance in fiscal
2023, and expects the impact to continue in fiscal 2024.
A downturn in the financial markets could adversely affect Toyota’s ability to raise capital.
Should the world economy suddenly deteriorate, a number of financial institutions and investors will face difficulties in providing capital to the
financial markets at levels corresponding to their own financial capacity,
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312523179181/d360541d20f.htm 10/224

and, as a result, there is a risk that companies may not be able to raise capital under terms that they would expect to receive with their creditworthiness.
If Toyota is unable to raise the necessary capital under appropriate conditions on a timely basis, Toyota’s financial condition and results of operations
may be adversely affected.
Toyota may be adversely affected by natural calamities, epidemics, political and economic instability, fuel shortages or interruptions in social
infrastructure, wars, terrorism and labor strikes.
Toyota is subject to various risks associated with conducting business worldwide. These risks include natural calamities; epidemics; political and
economic instability; fuel shortages; interruption in social infrastructure including energy supply, transportation systems, gas, water, or communication
systems resulting from natural hazards or technological hazards; wars; terrorism; labor strikes and work stoppages. Disruptions, delays and other
adverse changes in the operations of Toyota’s business have ensued from such risks materializing in the past. Should the major markets in which Toyota
purchases materials, parts and components

through the purchase of installment and lease contracts originated by Toyota dealers. Related to Toyota’s automotive operations, Toyota is working
towards having all of its vehicles become connected vehicles, creating new value and reforming businesses by utilizing big data obtained from those
connected vehicles, and establishing new mobility services. Toyota’s all other operations business segment includes the information technology related
businesses including a web portal for automobile information called GAZOO.com.
Toyota sells its vehicles in approximately 200 countries and regions. Toyota’s primary markets for its automobiles are Japan, North America,
Europe and Asia. The following table sets forth Toyota’s sales to external customers in each of its geographical markets for each of the past three fiscal
years.

* “Other” consists of Central and South America, Oceania, Africa and the Middle East.
During fiscal 2023, 23.5% of Toyota’s automobile unit sales on a consolidated basis were in Japan, 27.3% were in North America, 11.7% were in
Europe and 19.8% were in Asia. The remaining 17.7% of consolidated unit sales were in other markets.
These factors can cause consumer demand to vary substantially from year to year in different geographic markets and in individual categories of
automobiles.
Looking at the global economy in fiscal 2023, the global economy turned toward recovery from the impact of COVID-19, but the pace of
recovery remained slow due to downward pressure on the economy resulting from high resource prices and rising interest rates stemming from the
Ukraine crisis and other factors.
In the automobile market, the global strains in supply and demand for semiconductors and the supply shortage of parts continued to force
production constraints on a worldwide scale. However, the impact of the production cuts eased toward the second half of the fiscal year.
Looking at the economies of major countries, in the United States, domestic demand continued to be firm due to a favorable employment and
income environment and economic stimulus measures, but decelerated due to a shift to monetary tightening in order to control overheating inflation.
Europe was most affected by the heightened geopolitical tensions since February 2022, and inflation and high interest rates continued against the

backdrop of high energy prices and labor shortages. As a consequence, the economy was sluggish. In Japan, the economy has been steady due to the
normalization from the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the effects of wage increases. In China, economic activity stagnated due
to the zero-coronavirus policy accompanying the resurgence of COVID-19; China’s economic growth slowed in 2022. In Emerging countries, the
economy has started to recover, following those in developed countries, but some emerging countries, such as Brazil, saw some slowdown in
consumption due to rising interest rates and increased inflation.
Amid this environment, the automobile market faced a global year-on-year decline in 2022, making it a difficult year.
In North America, new vehicle sales were approximately 16.60 million units, a decrease from the previous year. In Europe, new vehicle sales also
decreased from the previous year at approximately 14.90 million units. Sanctions from Western nations and their withdrawal from Russian-related
businesses progressed, causing the Russian market to fall sharply year-on-year. In Asia (including India but excluding Japan and China), new vehicle
unit sales increased from the previous year to approximately 10.80 million units. The share of each market across the globe, which Toyota estimates
based on the available automobile sales data in each country and region information, was 30% for China, 21% for North America (20% excluding
Mexico and Puerto Rico), 19% for Europe and 13% for Asia. In China, new vehicle sales decreased from the previous year to approximately
24.70 million units.
In the medium- to long-term, Toyota expects the automotive market to continue growing driven principally by growth in China and other
emerging countries. However, global competition is expected to be severe, as the pace of technological advancement and development of new products,
particularly related to electrification, quickens further, including in response to a heightened global awareness of the environment with a view to carbon
neutrality and the strengthening of various regulations in line with such awareness.
The worldwide automotive industry is affected significantly by government regulations aimed at reducing harmful effects on the environment,
enhancing vehicle safety and improving fuel economy. These regulations have added to the cost of manufacturing vehicles. Many governments also
mandate local procurement of parts and components and impose tariffs and other trade barriers, as well as price or exchange controls as a means of
creating jobs, protecting domestic producers or influencing their balance of payments. Changes in regulatory requirements and other government-
imposed restrictions can limit or otherwise burden an automaker’s operations. Government laws and regulations can also make it difficult to repatriate
profits to an automaker’s home country.
The development of the worldwide automotive market includes the continuing globalization of automotive operations. Manufacturers seek to
achieve globalization by localizing the design and manufacture of automobiles and their parts and components in the markets in which they are sold. By
expanding production capabilities beyond their home markets, automotive manufacturers are able to reduce their exposure to fluctuations in foreign
exchange rates, as well as to trade restrictions and tariffs.
Over the years, there have been many global business alliances and investments entered into between manufacturers in the global automotive
industry. There are various reasons behind these transactions including the need to address excessive global capacity in the production of automobiles,
and the need to reduce costs and improve efficiency by increasing the number of automobiles produced using common vehicle platforms and by sharing
research and development expenses for environmental and other technology, the desire to expand a company’s global presence through increased size;
and the desire to expand into particular segments or geographic markets.
Toyota believes that its research and development initiatives, particularly the development of environmentally friendly new vehicle technologies,
vehicle safety and information technology, provide it with a strategic advantage.

Toyota Philosophy
The automotive industry is experiencing a once-in-a-century transformation. We are now striving to transform ourselves into a mobility company.
In an era which it is hard to predict the future, Toyota has reflected on the path it has taken thus far and has formulated the “Toyota Philosophy” as a
roadmap for the future.
Toyota’s mission is “Producing Happiness for All” by expanding the possibilities of people, companies and communities through addressing the
challenges of mobility as a mobility company. In order to do so, Toyota will continue to create new and unique value with various partners by
relentlessly committing towards monozukuri (manufacturing), and by fostering imagination for people and society.
TPS was established based on two concepts: Jidoka, which can be loosely translated as “automation with a human touch,” — an idea of stopping
equipment immediately when a problem occurs, in order to prevent defective products from being produced — and “Just in Time” (“JIT”), a concept
based on the idea that “each process produces only what is needed for the next process in a continuous flow.” Based on the basic philosophies of jidoka
and JIT, through TPS, Toyota aims to efficiently and quickly produce vehicles of sound quality, one at a time, to fully satisfy customer requirements.
Toyota believes that improving upon TPS is essential to its future survival. Currently, TPS is being introduced into development departments and
administrative departments. Toyota intends to apply TPS to its development departments so that it can be used not only to shorten development times
and reduce costs, but also to develop our human resources, thus leading to the manufacturing of ever-better cars that customers will love.
Selected Initiatives
We made a New Management Policy & Direction Announcement on April 7, 2023. Our new management structure’s theme is “inheritance and
evolution.” The most important value we have cultivated is “Let’s make

ever-better cars!” While talking about cars on the front lines and striving hard to bring smiles to customers’ faces, we continue to pursue ever-better cars.
Together with the 370,000 employees of the Toyota group around the world, our suppliers, and our dealers, we all make cars together. Car-making is a
team effort. We will accelerate the taking on of challenges for the future, with a new management style of “simultaneously and organically working as a
team.”
Carbon Neutrality
We are fully committed to achieving carbon neutrality in 2050 over the entire life cycle of our vehicles. When it comes to car manufacturing, we
will continue to pursue a variety of options, based on a multi-pathway solutions, to stay close to the future of energy and the realities of each region.
First, we will thoroughly implement whatever electrification we can do immediately. We will strengthen sales of hybrid electric vehicles
(“HEVs”), including in emerging markets, and increase our number of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle options (“PHEVs”). We will expand our lineup of
battery electric vehicles (“BEVs”), which represent one important option, over the next several years. We will do our utmost to develop BEVs and create
new business models.
We will also accelerate projects for the realization of the hydrogen society that we believe lies just beyond the BEV era. With partners across
industries and countries, we will advance the expansion of the realm of hydrogen usage by such means as social implementation in Thailand and
Fukushima, the mass production of commercial fuel cell electric vehicles (“FCEVs”), and the development of hydrogen engine technologies in the arena
of motorsports. Furthermore, we will work with the energy industry to develop technologies for carbon-neutral fuels, including next-generation biofuels
and synthetic fuels.
We will work to promote electrified vehicles and reduce CO2 emissions while leaving no one behind, including in emerging markets. Through this
all-direction approach, we aim to reduce average CO2 emissions for vehicles we sell worldwide by 33% or greater by 2030 and by 50% or greater by
2035 compared to 2019. We will continue to promote decarbonization globally and steadily toward 2050.

The first is “Mobility 1.0.” What we aim for in this is to expand the value of the car by connecting various types of movement. For example,
BEVs offer new mobility possibilities for the transport of electricity. Collectively serving as an energy grid, BEVs can enhance the energy security of
society. That is the kind of role that BEVs can also fulfill. Also, intelligence can evolve cars even further by utilizing information gathered from cars and
customers. Our software platform Arene holds the key to this new kind of car-making. Connecting the latest hardware and software will enable cars and
various software applications to freely connect. Arene will fulfill an important role as a platform to support this kind of evolution. We will do our utmost
to develop a next-generation BEV for 2026 together with Woven by Toyota, Inc.
What we aim for in the second domain, “Mobility 2.0,” is to expand mobility into new realms. There are many people whose mobility we are
currently not able to support as we would like, such as the elderly, people living in depopulated areas, and people in emerging markets in which the car
market has yet to mature. New mobility possibilities, such as mobility in the sky, are also expanding. Toyota, in addition to having a full lineup of
vehicles, has new forms of mobility, such as the e-Palette, as well as a network of colleagues across industries, such as those in the Mobility as a Service
(“MaaS”) space. Leveraging these strengths, we would like to go beyond our current scope of business to provide greater mobility support to our
customers around the world.
“Mobility 3.0” is about integration with social systems. We aim to create mobility ecosystems integrated with cities and society that tie into energy
and transportation systems, logistics, as well as the way we live, and a future that realizes well-being. To do this, we will proceed with our
demonstration experiments in Woven City. For example, we will advance our development of new logistics systems and the development of city-
integrated autonomous mobility, as well as demonstrations that start from Woven City of a CO2-free hydrogen supply chain and of expanding the
potential of hydrogen use in our daily lives. In addition to these demonstrations to date, which have utilized digital technologies, from 2025 we will
accelerate comprehensive demonstrations in real cities, leading to social implementation together with our partners.
The most important message we want to convey through our mobility concept is that mobility lies beyond the evolution of the car. Cars lie at the
center of our transformation into a mobility company. In order to expand the possibilities of cars, it is necessary to evolve based on the concepts of
“Best-in-Town” and “ever-better cars,” which we have long cultivated. We will change the future of cars based on our products and regions.
Product-centered Management
Toyota Mobility Concept is centered on enhancing the value of the car, expanding new mobility and freedom of movement, and providing new
services and energy solutions as part of social systems. The three approaches that hold the key to realizing this vision are electrification, intelligence,
and diversification.
Electrification will be based on a multi-pathway approach. We will continue to tailor electrification to the needs of customers and individual
regions by drawing on the strengths and characteristics of each vehicle type. We will expand our current lineup of BEVs, aiming to release ten new
models by 2026 and set a pace to sell 1.5 million units annually by then. Further, we expect to launch a new generation of BEVs in 2026 that would
double the driving range compared to that of the current bZ4X by using batteries with far greater efficiency, while also offering designs and driving
performance to set hearts racing.
In addition, by drawing on the strengths of our Toyota Production System (“TPS”), we will change the way we work to reduce the number of
processes for the BEV production line by half. This will entail a shift to more efficient lines, including autonomous inspections and unmanned transport
powered by connected technology. We also aim to achieve carbon neutrality at all of our global plants by 2035. Also, we will overhaul existing supply
chains by working with suppliers to procure superior quality parts at lower prices.
To realize these transformations, we are creating a new specialized unit to develop BEVs. This specialized unit will work under a single leader
entrusted with full authority to handle every function, from development to

production and business operation. We will take part in a wide range of business opportunities through our polished competitiveness as demonstrated by
the Toyota New Global Architecture (“TNGA”) having the effect of halving our development intensity and in-house investment as compared to those
before the adoption of TNGA, and our 10-million unit vehicle sales value chain.
For PHEVs, by increasing battery efficiency to extend the EV-mode driving range beyond 200 km, we will reposition PHEVs as “the practical
BEV” and will work harder on developing this as another BEV option.
For FCEVs, we will pursue mass production centered on commercial vehicles. One feature of FCEVs is that the energy source, hydrogen, is
lightweight, so even when traveling longer distances the vehicle will not be as heavy as a comparable BEV, and less space for storage of the energy
source is required. Refueling is also much quicker. We plan to promote FCEVs by starting with commercial vehicles, which permit us to take advantage
of these strengths.
The second approach is intelligence. Intelligence will expand connectivity between cars, services, and society. The shift to intelligent cars will
involve expanding advanced safety technology, multimedia, and other constantly evolving feature updates to all of our vehicles. At the same time,
alongside advances in the onboard operating system, our next-generation BEVs will enable users to customize “ride feel” according to their preferences
for how the vehicle runs, turns, and stops. By also honing the vehicles’ essential attributes, we will create cars that are more fun to drive in terms of both
hardware and software.
Intelligent services will include new services that connect cars to cities and infrastructure. This year, we plan to commence social implementation
of logistics systems that use real-time traffic information to boost transport efficiency, and systems that provide optimal energy management. Partnering
with cities and public facilities, we will also expand our BEV charging network, while providing a variety of services that support the energy grid and
people’s lives. These efforts are already underway at Lexus.
With respect to intelligence in society, we will conduct demonstration experiments regarding various ways of connecting people, cars, and society
in Woven City, which we have positioned as our “mobility test course.” We will use Woven City to address issues that come to light through social
implementation of connected logistics services, before implementing these services in society. By repeating this process, we will accelerate the
realization of an intelligent society.
Finally, we come to diversification. Our approach to diversification goes beyond cars to mobility itself, and even the energy sector. The
diversification of cars will involve expanding our product lineup, services that utilize connected technology, as well as parts and accessories businesses
in collaboration with new partners.
With respect to diversification of mobility, we have developed an easy-lock system for securing wheelchairs with a single motion, utilizing the
know-how we have accumulated over many years of developing welfare vehicles, and we plan to start installing this system in vehicles.
As for energy diversification, we have started demonstration experiments using hydrogen made from water, food loss and other waste, as well as
carbon-neutral fuels made from biomass and other resources, in Japan and Thailand. Our energy use technology will also be strengthened in the field of
motorsports with an aim to promoting widespread adoption in society.
Region-centered Management
We have refined the performance and cost of hybrid vehicles with each successive generation. As a result, we have been able to enhance greatly
their earning power while investing in the future, growing with stakeholders, and reducing CO2 emissions. This is precisely an achievement of our
region-centered management, which is based on our efforts to make ever-better cars. We will continue to deepen our region-centered management and
further solidify our business foundation.

To do so, the first thing that we must address is how to achieve carbon neutrality. Carbon knows no borders, and CO2 emission is an issue that
cannot wait. We need to immediately start with what we can do. Therefore, to spread the use of electrified vehicles as quickly as possible and as much as
possible, we need to be very attentive to the needs of our customers by taking into account local conditions and the diverse ways of using cars. Thus,
along with enhancement of the BEV lineup, we will continue to enhance the attractiveness and competitiveness of all powertrains, including HEVs and
PHEVs.
In developed countries, in parallel with the preparation of BEVs, we will expand our product lineup, with a focus on the bZ series. In the U.S., we
will start the local production of a three-row SUV in 2025 that will be equipped with batteries to be produced in North Carolina, and we seek to increase
our battery production capacity.
In China, we will launch two models of locally developed BEVs in 2024, fit to the local needs, and we plan to continue to increase the number of
models in the following years. In Asia and other emerging markets, we will make sure to respond to the growing demand for BEVs, starting with local
production of BEV pickup trucks, and also by launching a compact BEV model by the end of the year.
In developed countries, the switch to BEVs is moving forward as the market matures, while in emerging markets, the market is expected to
expand due to demand for new and additional vehicles. Toyota, with its full lineup and profitable HEVs and PHEVs, along with its diverse options of
BEVs that it will be strengthening, will make sure to meet a wide range of global demand and is committed to further growth. For growth in emerging
markets, profitable HEVs will be used as a source of income, and with a value chain supporting the sale of approximately 10 million units per year, we
will also take part in a wide range of business opportunities. In addition, we will achieve cost reductions and Kaizen (continuous improvement) by
leveraging the strengths of the Toyota Production System (TPS), and thereby enhance our future investment capacity for the expansion of growth in
BEVs and mobility areas, as well as establish a strong business foundation whereby carbon neutrality and growth can both be achieved.
While the technological innovations of electrification, intelligence and diversification are progressing, we would like to take on the challenge of
contributing to regions in which we operate and to the overall good. For example, in the United States, the automotive industry is at a critical juncture,
with people moving away from manufacturing and with structural costs increasing. By combining worksite-honed craftsman skills with intelligence to
propose new ways of manufacturing and new “automation with human intelligence” processes, we want to do our part in preserving manufacturing in
the United States while solving the country’s labor shortage problem. We also plan to start collaborations with Charoen Pokphand and the Siam Cement
Group in Thailand. This is the start of an implementation that uses electrification and connected technologies to connect vehicles, people and
information, and utilize mobility as part of the social infrastructure. Through these initiatives, we will take on the challenge of solving regional problems
such as serious traffic congestion, air pollution and frequent road accidents.
In an uncharted era, we believe that it is action based on strong will and passion that will change the future. Together with our colleagues, we will
challenge ourselves to think outside the box. We believe that a future of mobility, one that is unique to carmakers and to Toyota, lies ahead. Let’s change
the future of cars! This is our theme as we aim to become a mobility company.
Based on our unshakable motives, we will take on challenges with strong will and passion.

Furthermore, on April 28, 2023, Daihatsu announced and disclosed that it had committed procedural irregularities in approval applications for side
collision tests for vehicles developed by Daihatsu destined for overseas markets. During the subsequent in-house inspection, it was newly discovered
and announced that Daihatsu identified irregularities in the certification procedures for the side impact collision tests of Daihatsu ROCKY HEVs and
Toyota RAIZE HEVs. The irregularities were promptly reported to, and consultations were undertaken, with the inspection and certification authorities
after they were discovered, and shipments and sales of the vehicles at issue were suspended in the countries in which approval had been granted. In
addition, Daihatsu has confirmed and reported that the vehicles at issue conform to laws and regulations in in-house re-tests using proper parts. Daihatsu
has established a third-party committee consisting of external experts in legal and technical matters to fully clarify the nature of the irregularities and
identify their root cause; it has also asked the committee to recommend measures to prevent the recurrence of similar irregularities by examining the
company’s organization and development processes.
In the wake of the large-scale recalls that occurred in 2009, Toyota promised its customers around the world that it would not “run away, hide, or
lie.” Given this, we take very seriously the fact that these problems nevertheless occurred in our group. For this matter, as the chief executive officer,
Toyota’s President will further strive to improve the car manufacturing operations of Toyota and the group companies, while the Chairman of the Board
of Toyota will lead initiatives to strengthen governance and compliance.
On May 12, 2023, the top management of each group company gathered to discuss Toyota’s commitment to facing manufacturing with sincerity
and renewed our recognition of this goal. We are currently working with all of our group companies to re-examine our past governance structure,
including our own, and have begun a thorough review. We view this case not as an individual or workplace issue, but rather a company-wide issue
where an individual or workplace was forced to commit a wrongdoing. Together with Daihatsu, we are committed to listening to the voices of those on
the front lines and carefully responding to the situation.
At Toyota worksites, everyone is committed to making better cars. Toyota is a company where, when a problem occurs, everyone always stops,
pursues the root cause by going and seeing the location or process where the problem exists, makes improvements, and works to prevent recurrence.
This is the Toyota philosophy that has been cherished since the company’s founding. We believe that there is no other way to regain the trust of our
customers than for all of Toyota and its group companies to return to this philosophy once again, for each group company’s top management to confront
the problems at their respective workplaces, uncover them, and make improvements one by one, and continue this steady effort. The entire Toyota group
will work together to regain trust of our customers as soon as possible.

transaction by the end of 2024.
Automotive Operations
Toyota’s sales revenues from its automotive operations were ¥33,820.0 billion in fiscal 2023, ¥28,605.7 billion in fiscal 2022, and
¥24,651.5 billion in fiscal 2021.
Toyota produces and sells passenger vehicles, minivans and commercial vehicles such as trucks. Toyota Motor Corporation’s subsidiary, Daihatsu,
produces and sells mini-vehicles and compact cars. Hino, also a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation, produces and sells commercial vehicles such
as trucks and buses. Toyota also manufactures automotive parts, components and accessories for its own use and for sale to others.
In fiscal 2021, despite the suspension of operations at factories and the suspension of business at dealers due to the impact of COVID-19, Toyota
launched various new models as planned. The new Harrier, an SUV for the new era, was designed to resonate with the heart of the driver, with a focus
on sensory quality from the first moment of seeing, riding and driving off in it, rather than relying on utility or numerical performance. The new Mirai
featured a design that appeals to the senses, a distinctive driving experience, industry-leading innovation, and cruising range that gives peace of mind as
its concept, while generating zero emissions, and will serve as a new departure point for creating a hydrogen-based society of the future. In the Lexus
brand, we launched the UX 300e, which offers the high-quality driving performance and excellent quietness unique to Lexus BEVs, the high reliability
and convenience of the electrification technology cultivated in the manufacture of hybrid models, and the distinctive design and high functionality of the
Lexus UX. GR Yaris is the first Toyota vehicle developed with the reversed concept of turning a motorsports car into a production car. The car was
evaluated by Master Driver Morizo (the racing driver name for Akio Toyoda) and non-Toyota professional drivers from the early stages of development,
and even after it was unveiled at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2020, it underwent repeated

cycles of evaluation and improvement at the circuit before it was finally launched. As a result of our efforts to further streamline costs following the
Lehman Brothers bankruptcy and the “ever better cars manufacturing” initiative, the compact car, Yaris, won the Car of the Year in Europe, a place
where people have continued to have strong passion for cars in its long automotive history. The award recognized Yaris’s fun-to-drive features and fuel
efficiency as a HEV.
In fiscal 2022, Toyota launched the first-ever SUV Corolla model, Corolla Cross. Since the launch of the first-generation in 1966, the Corolla
series has continued to evolve and embrace new challenges and has sold more than 50 million units worldwide. The Noah and Voxy, cars supported and
loved by many customers, including families among others, were completely redesigned as minivans with the further increased ease of use and
enhanced advanced fixtures. In pursuit of a suite of features designed to enable customers to drive their vehicles every day with joy, safety, peace of
mind, and comfort, while also realizing superior environmental performance, Toyota launched the HEV Aqua, which is the world’s first vehicle to use a
high-output bipolar nickel-hydrogen battery as an electric drive battery. With elevated levels of driving performance, design, and advanced technology,
the all-new NX, which is the first model to introduce the next generation of Lexus, is accelerating the proliferation of electrified models by being Lexus’
first-ever PHEV also offered as a HEV. In addition, the new Toyota bZ series of BEVs that are easy to use and highly appealing, and the introduction of
this series is a part of Toyota’s efforts to reduce CO2 emissions. Toyota launched the bZ4X, the first of the bZ series, which offers, in addition to a
comfortable cabin, a new lifestyle and the opportunity to spend precious time with family and friends as well as the BEV’s unique joy of driving. For
motorsports cars, Toyota developed the GRMN Yaris as “embodiments of making ever-better motorsports-bred cars.”
In fiscal 2023, Toyota launched the all-new Crown. While inheriting the Crown’s DNA of innovation and limit-pushing, it has been renewed as a
flagship for a new era with four variations to meet the diverse values and lifestyles of customers. In addition to the “Crossover type,” a new style that
combines a sedan and an SUV, the “Sport” offers a sporty driving experience with an enticing atmosphere and an easy-to-drive package. The “Sedan” is
a new formal design that meets the needs of chauffeurs, whereas the “Estate” is a functional SUV with a mature atmosphere and ample driving space.
The new series will be rolled out in about 40 countries and regions. Launched in 1997 as the world’s first mass-produced hybrid car, the Prius has driven
uptake of HEVs as a new-generation eco-car with outstanding fuel efficiency; under the “Hybrid Reborn” concept, the Prius was renewed as an
exhilarating package that adds a design inspiring love at first sight and captivating driving performance to its core strength as an environmentally
friendly car. For sportscars, the development of the GR Corolla, including a hydrogen engine-equipped GR Corolla designed to participate in the Super
Taikyu endurance race series, has carried forth the torch of making ever-better motorsports-bred cars. In addition, the Lexus brand announced its first
globally-available pure BEV model, the all-new RZ. The new RZ marks Lexus’ transition into a BEV-centered brand, and embodies the unique Lexus
vehicle design and driving experience brought on by advanced electrification technology.

Japan
Japan is one of the leading countries with respect to technological advancements and improvements in the automotive industry and will continue
to demonstrate such strength. Toyota strives to earn customer satisfaction by introducing products distinctive of Japan’s manufacturing ability such as
value-added products including Lexus models, FCEVs, PHEVs and HEVs, vehicles with three-seat rows and mini-vehicles. Toyota endeavors to secure
and maintain its significant share of and position atop, the Japanese market. Toyota held a domestic market share (excluding mini-vehicles) on a retail
basis of 51.9% in fiscal 2021, 51.1% in fiscal 2022 and 51.1% in fiscal 2023.
Although Toyota’s principle is to conduct production in regions where it enjoys true competitiveness, it considers Japan to be the source of its
good manufacturing practices. Having 16 production sites in Japan, Toyota supports its operations worldwide through measures such as the development
of new technologies and products, low-volume vehicles to complement local production, production of global vehicle models which straddle multiple
regions and supporting overseas factories.
North America
The North American region is one of Toyota’s most significant markets. The United States, in particular, is the largest market in the North
American region, accounting for 86% of Toyota’s retail sales in the region. In the region, Toyota has in recent years reorganized its production structure
and made improvements to its product lineup. In addition, Toyota has a wide product lineup in every segment (excluding large trucks and buses).
Toyota’s North American production capacities include the production of vehicle models such as the RAV4, Camry, Tacoma and Highlander
through 13 manufacturing entities.
In November 2021, Toyota created Toyota Battery Manufacturing, North Carolina (“TBMNC”) as the first plant to produce automotive batteries
for Toyota in North America. When it comes online in 2025, it is expected that TBMNC will have four production lines, each capable of delivering
enough lithium-ion batteries for 200,000 vehicles — with the intention to expand to at least six production lines for a combined total of up to 1.2 million
vehicles per year.
In June 2023, Toyota decided to assemble an all-new, three-row battery electric SUV at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky, Inc. (“TMMK”)
starting in 2025. The BEV will be powered by batteries from TBMNC.
Toyota has five research and development centers in North America. As for vehicle development, the Toyota Technical Center spearheads the
design, planning, and evaluation of vehicles and parts as to their ability to meet customer needs.
Europe
Toyota’s principal European markets are Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain. In the European markets, as a full-lineup car
manufacturer, Toyota aims to increase its global vehicle sales with a focus on electrified vehicles (HEVs, PHEVs, FCEVs and BEVs) that suit the needs
of customers and the circumstances of each region.
In terms of production, to strengthen its business setup so that it is less likely to be affected by exchange rates, Toyota produces models such as the
Corolla, Yaris and C-HR locally through six entities in Europe. In addition, Toyota is actively promoting production and sales measures that meet local
demand by strengthening its value chain including used car dealerships, after-sales services and finance and insurance services.

In light of the importance of the Asian market that is further expected to grow in the long term, Toyota aims to build an operational framework that
is efficient and self-reliant, as well as a predominant position in the automotive market in Asia. Toyota has responded to increasing competition in Asia
by making strategic investments in the market and developing relationships with local suppliers. Toyota believes that its existing local presence in the
market provides it with an advantage over new entrants to the market and expects to be able to promptly respond to demand for vehicles in the region.
In terms of production, Toyota manufactures models such as the Hilux, Hiace, Corolla, Camry and Vios through 15 entities. Toyota’s plants in
Thailand, not only to meet domestic demand but also to serve as a production base for locations inside and outside of the ASEAN region.
China
Toyota has been conducting operations in China in large part through joint ventures, and its success in producing products that meet local demands
and in establishing its sales and service network has significantly contributed to Toyota’s profits. Based on the firm business foundation that it has
established, Toyota is conducting its operations with the aim of promoting further growth and increasing profitability through further development of its
sales and service network and expansion of its product lineup.
In terms of production, Toyota has been conducting a significant portion of its China business, including in relation to the production and sales of
vehicles, through joint ventures. Toyota has two major joint venture partners in China, namely, China FAW Group Corporation and Guangzhou
Automobile Group Co., Ltd. The joint venture with China FAW Group manufactures models such as the Corolla, Vios, RAV4, bZ4X and bZ3 and the
joint venture with Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd. manufactures models such as the Camry, Yaris, Highlander and bZ4X.
Total vehicle sales in the Chinese market were 24.62 million vehicles in 2022, 97.8% of that of 2021, and 25.17 million vehicles in 2021,
approximately the same as the 25.21 million vehicles in 2020. In this market, Toyota’s sales were 1.94 million vehicles in 2022, 100.0% of that of 2021,
and 1.94 million vehicles in 2021, 107.8% of that of 2020. In the domestically produced passenger vehicle market in mainland China (21.89 million
vehicles), Toyota had a market share of 8.8%. Toyota has been expanding the distribution network for locally produced vehicles in cooperation with
China FAW Group and Guangzhou Automobile Group under the names Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. and Guanqi Toyota Motor Co., Ltd.,
respectively, and for imported vehicles, Toyota has also been expanding primarily the Lexus brand sales network. Toyota plans to further increase sales
by expanding the number of dealers and its product lineup. In addition, as the market in China develops and becomes more sophisticated, Toyota plans
to promote so-called “Value Chain” businesses, such as used car sales, services, financing and insurance, so as to contribute to the development of a
mobility society.
South and Central America, Oceania, Africa and the Middle East
Toyota’s consolidated vehicle sales in South and Central America, Oceania, Africa and the Middle East (collectively, the “Four Regions”) in fiscal
2022 were 1,352 thousand units, 131.7% of that of the prior fiscal year. Toyota’s principal markets in the Four Regions are Brazil and Argentina in South
and Central America, Australia in Oceania, South Africa in Africa and Saudi Arabia in the Middle East. The core models in the Four Regions are global
models such as the Corolla, IMV (the Hilux) and Camry.
Toyota has seven production bases in the Four Regions. In these regions, which are expected to become increasingly important to Toyota’s
business strategy, Toyota aims to continue developing new products which meet the specific demands of each region, increasing production and
promoting sales.

who visit customers in their homes or offices. In recent years, however, the traditional method of sales through home visits is being replaced by
showroom sales, and the percentage of automobile purchases through showrooms has been gradually increasing. Toyota expects this trend to continue
even after the COVID-19 related crisis, and accordingly is working to improve its sales activities such as customer reception and meticulous service at
showrooms, as well as online sales, to increase customer satisfaction.
Sales of Toyota vehicles in Japan had been conducted through four sales channels until April 2020, but from May 2020 shifted to a framework
where all of its Japanese-market vehicle models are made available through all sales outlets in Japan. In addition, Toyota introduced the Lexus brand to
the Japanese market in August 2005, and currently distributes the Lexus brand vehicles through a network of 183 new-vehicle sales outlets dedicated to
the Lexus brand in order to enhance its competitiveness in the domestic luxury automotive market. The following table provides information on the
dealer network as of March 31, 2023.
Dealers

BEV Strategies
On December 14, 2021, Toyota held a briefing on its BEV strategy where it announced that it would be boosting its plans for BEV sales in 2030
from 2 million to 3.5 million units, and that Lexus was aiming for BEVs to account for 100 percent of its sales in Europe, North America, and China by
the same year, followed by BEVs accounting for 100 percent of its sales globally starting in 2035.
Toyota believes that achieving carbon neutrality means realizing a world in which all people living on this planet continue to live happily. We
want to help realize such a world. This has been and will continue to be Toyota’s wish and our mission as a global company. For that challenge, we need
to reduce CO2 emissions as much as possible, as soon as possible.
Energy plays a critical role in achieving carbon neutrality. At present, the energy situation varies greatly from region to region. That is exactly why
Toyota is committed to providing a diversified range of carbon-neutral options to meet whatever the needs and situations might be in every country and
region. In this diversified and uncharted era, it is important to flexibly change the type and quantity of products produced while keeping an eye on
market trends. We believe that the reduction in lead times and high-mix, low-volume production methods that we have cultivated through the TPS, along
with the steady efforts of Japanese manufacturing, will enable us to be competitive going forward.

In terms of vehicle production, we believe that all electrified vehicles can be divided into two categories, depending on the energy that they use.
One category is that of “carbon-reducing vehicles.” If the energy that powers vehicles is not clean, the use of an electrified vehicle, no matter what type
it might be, would not result in zero CO2 emissions. The other category is that of “carbon-neutral vehicles.” Vehicles in this category run on clean energy
and achieve zero CO2 emissions in the whole process of their use. We at Toyota will strive to realize such vehicles.
The Toyota brand now offers more than 100 models of engine-only vehicles, HEVs, PHEVs, and FCEVs in more than 170 countries and regions.
The Lexus brand has introduced more than 30 models of engine-only vehicles, HEVs, and PHEVs in more than 90 countries and regions. Furthermore,
we plan to expand the options for carbon neutral vehicles by offering a full lineup of BEVs. Specifically, we plan to roll out 30 Toyota and Lexus brand
BEV models by 2030, offering a full lineup of BEVs globally in both the passenger and commercial vehicle segments.
In August 2022, Toyota announced that it will invest up to 730 billion yen in Japan and the United States toward supplying automotive batteries
for BEVs, aiming to begin battery production between 2024 and 2026. Through this investment, we aim to boost production capacity by up to 40 GWh.
In May 2023, Toyota also announced its plan to further invest $2.1 billion in its battery manufacturing plant in the United States for new infrastructure to
support future expansion. Toyota will continue working to build a supply system that can steadily meet the growing demand for BEVs around the world.
At the New Management Policy & Direction Announcement held on April 7, 2023, Toyota announced that it will expand its current BEV lineup,
aim to introduce ten new BEV models by 2026, and set a pace for annual sales of 1.5 million Toyota and Lexus brand BEV units by 2026. In addition,
Toyota has plans to release next-generation BEVs in 2026 that will double the driving range compared to that of the current bZ4X by using batteries
with greater efficiency.
Developed countries In parallel with the preparation of new models scheduled for launch in 2026, with a focus on the bZ series and with
further refined performance, Toyota plans to greatly expand its product lineup.
The United States In 2025, Toyota plans to start the local production of a 3-row SUV equipped with batteries to be produced in North
Carolina.
China In addition to the bZ4X and bZ3, Toyota plans to launch two models of locally developed BEVs in 2024 that will fit
the local needs, and to continue increase the number of models in the following years.
Asia and other emerging In order to respond to the growing demand for BEVs, Toyota plans to start local production of BEV pickup trucks
markets (Global South) by the end of 2023 and also launch a small BEV model.
In May 2023, we launched the BEV Factory, a business unit dedicated to BEVs. What we hope to achieve with BEV Factory is to change the
future with BEVs through transformation on multiple axes: cars, manufacturing and the way we work.
On the car axis, through technologies such as the integration of next-generation batteries and sonic technology, we aim to achieve a vehicle
cruising range of 1,000 km. To bring more stylish design, we will use AI to increase aerodynamic performance, while our designers will focus on
expressing natural sensibility. We believe Arene OS and full over-the-air updates will vastly expand the possibilities for enjoying cars. Like our manual
transmission EVs, we plan to deliver exciting surprises and fun to our customers with technologies achievable only by a carmaker.

On the manufacturing axis, the car body will be constructed from three main components in a new modular structure. Adopting giga casting will
allow significant component integration, which contributes to the reduction of vehicle development costs and factory investment. In addition, with our
self-propelling production technology, we aim to reduce our manufacturing procedures and plant investment by half.
Under the way we work axis, the BEV Factory is based on the concept of “ALL in ONE TEAM,” a team under one leader that unifies functions
and regions beyond the framework of a carmaker, such as Woven by Toyota and external partners. This ONE TEAM will revolutionize the way work is
done, with everyone on the same site and with the same awareness of the same issues, to achieve quick decision-making and initial response.
We plan to roll out next-generation BEVs globally and as a full lineup to be launched in 2026. By 2030, we expect 1.7 million units out of our
planned 3.5 million overall BEV unit target will be provided by BEV Factory. We expect that our next-generation BEVs will adopt our new batteries,
through which we are determined to become a world leader in battery EV energy consumption. With the resources we earn, we will improve our product
appeal to exceed customer expectations and secure earnings.
In the area of batteries, Toyota has continued to research, develop, and produce batteries in-house for many years. In 1996, we established what is
today Prime Earth EV Energy Co., Ltd. While refining our technologies related to nickel-metal hydride batteries, we started accelerating the
development of lithium-ion batteries in 2003. Furthermore, since establishing our Battery Research Division in 2008, we have been advancing research
on solid-state batteries and other next-generation batteries. In 2020, we established Prime Planet Energy & Solutions, Inc. to accelerate integrated efforts
in the battery business. Over the past 28 years, Toyota has made approximately 1 trillion yen in capital expenditures, research and development expenses
and other investments to produce more than 23 million batteries. We believe that our accumulated experience is an asset that gives us a competitive
edge. Going forward, we intend to make a total of 5 trillion yen in new capital expenditures, research and development expenses and other investments
relating to BEVs and batteries, with the aim of realizing even more-advanced, high-quality, and affordable batteries.
As for batteries for HEVs, we have been continuously upgrading nickel-metal hydride batteries and lithium-ion batteries, taking advantage of their
respective characteristics. In particular, we took on the challenge of developing a bipolar structure in the course of creating a nickel-metal hydride
battery to be installed in the Aqua, which underwent a full-scale redesign completed in July 2021, and have become the first in the world to
commercialize a battery of this kind as an onboard battery for driving. Compared to the batteries used in the previous generation of the Aqua, the output
density has been doubled, giving the car a powerful acceleration sensation. We are currently engaged in development aimed at creating more-advanced
lithium-ion batteries by the second half of the 2020s.
To develop batteries that our customers can use with peace of mind, we focus on producing batteries that balances five factors, which stand out for
their “safety,” have “long service life,” boast “high-level quality,” and are “good yet affordable” as well as capable of “outstanding performance.” For
example, a longer service life affects a vehicle’s residual value. In terms of cruising range, high energy density and high-level performance are also
necessary. On the other hand, over-emphasis on a fast charging speed may increase the danger of overheating or even fire and thus decrease battery
safety. This concept has remained unchanged since batteries were installed in the first-generation Prius, and it applied to all the batteries in all of our
electrified vehicles. Although Toyota is committed to balancing the five factors, too much emphasis on one could be detrimental to
24

the others. That is why we believe that the integrated development of batteries and vehicles is essential. How batteries are used depends on how the
vehicles in which they are installed are used. For example, the environments in which vehicles are operated differ according to each vehicle’s mode of
use — for example, if it is being used as a taxi or for commuting — as well as geographic location, and these factors will affect such conditions as
charging frequency and battery temperature. Accordingly, we carry out mock driving tests that assume a diverse range of vehicle usage in order to obtain
data on actual usage environments and provide feedback to inform the evaluation and design of batteries. To determine the balancing point of the five
factors discussed above, it is necessary to obtain driving data that includes driving conditions and usage environments, find out what the conditions
would be like if batteries were used instead, and repeatedly verify what is happening inside the batteries. Such steady and earnest efforts for both
batteries and vehicles are the secret behind Toyota’s advantages.
To popularize BEVs, we strive to reduce costs via the integrated development of vehicles and batteries to provide BEVs at a reasonable price. To
start with, we aim to reduce the costs of batteries themselves by 30% or more by developing materials and structures. Then, for the vehicle, we aim to
improve power consumption, which is an indicator of the amount of electricity used per unit of distance, by 30%, starting with the Toyota bZ4X.
Improved power efficiency leads to reduced requirements for battery capacity, which will result in a cost reduction. Through this integrated development
of vehicles and batteries, we aim to reduce the battery cost per vehicle by 50% compared to the Toyota bZ4X in the second half of the 2020s.
In the near future, the energy density of conventional lithium-ion batteries per unit of weight is expected to see its peak. Accordingly, vigorous
efforts are now under way to develop next-generation lithium-ion batteries, aiming to achieve longer service life, greater energy density, more compact
size, and lower costs. At Toyota, we push ahead with the development of such batteries by employing the following three approaches. For liquid
batteries, which use liquid electrolyte, we are taking on the challenge of realizing “material evolution” and “structural innovation.” At the same time, we
are aiming to commercialize all-solid-state batteries that employ solid electrolyte instead of liquid electrolyte. As such, our wide-ranging development
efforts are aimed at creating three types of batteries, and by the second half of the 2020s, we hope to improve the characteristics of each type so that we
can provide batteries that can be used with peace of mind. With regard to all-solid-state batteries, we promote development aimed at achieving higher
output, longer cruising range, and shorter charging times. In June 2020, we built a vehicle equipped with all-solid-state batteries and conducted test runs
on a test course to obtain driving data. Based on that data, we continued to make improvements, and in August 2020, we obtained license plate
registration for vehicles equipped with all-solid-state batteries and conducted test drives. In the course of the development process, we discovered that
the fast movement of ions within all-solid-state batteries could possibly enable them to achieve higher output. On the other hand, one of the challenges
has been the short service life of batteries. Toyota believes it has discovered a new technology that will improve battery service life. In the future, we
will work on developing a mass production system to address one of the other challenges, namely cost. Furthermore, although Toyota announced in
2021 that the introduction of all-solid-state batteries would start with HEVs, we will instead take on the challenge of practical application in batteries for
BEVs in between 2027 and 2028.
With the rapid expansion of EV usage, we are working to build a flexible system that can stably supply the required volume of batteries at the
required time while meeting the needs of various customers in each region around the world. To this end, we intend to establish needed technologies by
conducting a certain amount of in-house production in the pursuit of our battery development concept of achieving batteries that can be used with peace
of mind. We will then cooperate and collaborate with partners who understand and will put into practice our concept. We will also proceed with
discussions with new partners in some regions. Our approach to production can be described as “starting up using small basic units.” This approach
draws on lessons learned from the global financial crisis. It is difficult to notice latent risks when production is growing. Because of this, we have to take
a risk-controlled approach to growth based on Toyota’s philosophy of “making only what is needed, when it is needed, and only in the amount needed.”
Moreover, Toyota’s strategy of “starting up using small basic units” is also
25

meant to enable the company to swiftly respond to changes arising from the arrival of a new technology, which often occurs in the course of a product
cycle when the manufacturing costs for the old model come down and stabilize.
Hydrogen Business
The hydrogen markets in Europe, China, and North America are expected to be among the largest in the near future, and the fuel cell market is
also expected to expand rapidly toward that point. We are promoting external sales of fuel cells using the Mirai’s hydrogen units and have received
offers from third parties to purchase 100,000 units of fuel cells annually by 2030. Most of them are for commercial vehicles.
To respond to the rapid changes in the market, we will establish in July 2023 a new business unit called Hydrogen Factory, which will be able to
make rapid decisions under one leader, from sales to development and production, all at once. The Hydrogen Factory will promote business on three
axes. The first is localizing R&D and production in countries within the major markets. We will accelerate our efforts by establishing local bases, mainly
in Europe and China. The second is strengthening alliances with leading partners. We will do our best to deliver affordable fuel cells to our customers by
consolidating sufficient quantities through alliances. The third is competitiveness and technology. We will work on “innovative evolution of competitive
next-generation fuel cell technologies,” such as next-generation cell technologies and fuel cell systems.
We will work toward full-scale commercialization as we move forward with these initiatives. We expect that our next-generation system will
achieve significant FCEV production cost reduction through technological progress, volume efficiency, and localization. Furthermore, in collaboration
with partners, if we are able to significantly increase the volume of purchase offers for units, we believe we will be able to reduce our costs further and
generate solid profit while meeting the expectations of governments and our many customers. We will work together in development, production, and
sales to achieve this goal.
In addition, the price of hydrogen is still very high. In order to promote the widespread use of hydrogen, Toyota will continue to work with its
partners to contribute to the production, transportation, and usage of hydrogen. The relationships we have built with strong partners will be used as
opportunities to accelerate our efforts to commercialize hydrogen by establishing customer-oriented bases in major markets and by offering affordable
products in sufficient quantities.
As for current FCEVs, we released the completely redesigned Mirai in December 2020. Premised on the use of an FCEV system, the development
of the second generation Mirai was promoted to deliver a futuristic premium car that will be genuinely appreciated and sought after by our customers.
Specifically, we strove to deliver a vehicle that can win drivers’ hearts during and after driving, if not from the moment when they first catch sight of it.
Moreover, Toyota aims to become a fuel cell (“FC”) system supplier supporting the realization of a hydrogen-powered society. In line with this aim, we
provide a variety of business operators with a compact FC system module package that we have developed. This package consists of FC stacks for the
second-generation Mirai, which boast higher performance, as well as air supply, hydrogen supply, cooling, power control and other FC system-related
parts. In North America, we have unveiled a new prototype for an FC commercial heavy-duty truck that uses the second-generation FC system installed
on the new Mirai. This truck boasts considerably improved performance, including more powerful acceleration and flexible driving response.
Furthermore, having attained a maximum loaded weight of 80,000 pounds (approximately 36 tons) and cruising range of 300 miles (more than 480
kilometers), the truck is designed to accommodate a range of commercial truck needs. We intend to conduct the verification testing of this new FC truck
in actual cargo transport operations.

Hydrogen engines work like modified versions of conventional gasoline engines, powered by burning hydrogen directly as fuel. The fuel is 100%
pure hydrogen, unmixed with gasoline. As no fossil fuels are burned, except for the combustion of minute amounts of engine oil during driving,
hydrogen-engine vehicles emit nearly no CO2 when in operation. We believe that hydrogen engine technology is thus one option that offers great
potential to contribute to carbon neutrality while making use of technologies for internal combustion engines built up over the decades and also
protecting engine-related employment in the automotive industry.
In late 2020, after taking a test drive in a hydrogen engine prototype car, Master Driver Morizo (Akio Toyoda, then President) decided on the spot
to enter a hydrogen engine car in Super Taikyu Series races. The development of race vehicles is dramatically faster and more agile than that of mass-
production vehicles. We decided that racing would provide the ideal environment for honing our hydrogen engines being developed with the goal of
achieving carbon neutrality.
Looking at the overall route to the market release of a hydrogen engine car, we are currently a little less than halfway there. The finish line is still
far ahead, and there are still many issues to be figured out, but we are steadily moving forward. Over the course of a year of racing with hydrogen
engines, our hydrogen engine technologies and initiatives to use hydrogen have evolved. At the same time, the number of our partners who have joined
our efforts to produce, transport, and use hydrogen has expanded from eight at the starting line to 25 as of August 2022.
With regard to hydrogen production, the range of available energy sources for producing hydrogen has expanded to include solar power from
Yamanashi Prefecture and Namie Town, Fukushima Prefecture; geothermal energy from Obayashi Corporation; lignite from Kawasaki Heavy
Industries, Ltd., Iwatani Corporation, and Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. (“J-Power”); and sewage biogas from Fukuoka City.
To transport hydrogen, Commercial Japan Partnership Technologies Corporation has improved its FC light-duty trucks, changing from a metal
tank to a lightweight resin liner tank that can transport hydrogen at higher pressure, achieving an approximately four-fold increase, as of June 2022, in
the amount of hydrogen transported annually. In addition, as a first step in procuring hydrogen from overseas, hydrogen transported by air to Japan by
Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Iwatani Corporation, and J-Power on a trial basis was used as fuel in Toyota’s hydrogen-powered vehicles.
As for using hydrogen, we are working to improve cars and engines through agile development in the demanding environment of motorsports.
Over a year of racing, our hydrogen engines have evolved significantly, increasing power output by 20%, torque by 30%*, and cruising range by 20%*,
while hydrogen filling time has been reduced from approximately five minutes to 90 seconds* (*figures as of June 30, 2022). We have also raced with a
GR86 modified to use another, nonhydrogen carbon-neutral fuel. The partners who joined us through racing in the Super Taikyu Series are now
accelerating initiatives outside of racing to achieve carbon neutrality. Our efforts to develop hydrogen engine cars are extending beyond Japan. In
August 2022, Morizo put a hydrogen engine car (a GR Yaris) through its paces in a demonstration run during the ninth round of the World Rally
Championship in Belgium. This enabled us to highlight the potential of hydrogen as an option for achieving carbon neutrality in Europe. We also
entered a hydrogen engine car in an endurance race in Thailand in December 2022. Through our efforts to use hydrogen that began with hydrogen
engine vehicles in the Super Taikyu Series races in Japan, and gradual growth in understanding of our assertion that carbon is our enemy, not internal
combustion engines, hydrogen has come to be seen as an option for the future. Going beyond national, regional, and industry borders, we will continue
to push forward with our partners.

When it comes to the manufacturing of cars, Toyota has a basic stance that has been handed down internally over the years: we stick to our
principles and internalize important elements by attempting to first achieve them on our own. We also continue to introduce improvements on the front
lines to enhance our competitive advantage. Since its founding, Toyota has been producing various production equipment in-house as necessary. In the
1990s, we pursued the in-house design of ECUs and established an electronics plant, a chip plant, and a battery plant. These efforts eventually led to the
commercialization of the Prius, the world’s first mass-produced HEV. Toyota has always maintained a strong awareness of the real world regardless of
the era at hand, pursued our principles, and promoted internalization. That is why in the area of software and connected technologies, we established the
Toyota Research Institute (“TRI”), Woven by Toyota, Inc. (“Woven by Toyota”), and Toyota Connected, and it is why we are working on the
development of the e-Palette, the construction of Woven City as a town for pilot testing, and the development of the Arene platform and other
technologies.
To date, Toyota has sold 20 million Lexus and Toyota vehicles that are connected cars, mainly in Japan, the United States, Europe, and China.
Toyota’s vision of the connected car is not simply one of connecting the car to the internet. Rather, it is about providing customers with emotional
experiences through the movement of people, goods, and activities — a vision centered on people that we call “human connected.” To achieve this, we
are operating a call center as a point of contact with customers; the Toyota Smart Center, which provides a variety of services; and the Toyota Big Data
Center, which utilizes vehicle information gathered from cars. In addition, we have established the Mobility Service Platform (“MSPF”) to provide
mobility services and are promoting collaboration with service providers. Connected cars and connected technologies will be applied to a variety of
areas, and we anticipate that which is to be connected will expand to include people, cars, communities, and society (business-to-society, or BtoS).
Toyota will handle the information gathered from customers and vehicles with care, utilizing it for the happiness of customers and the development of
society while creating new value from experiences centered on mobility.
With the e-Palette BEV used in the Olympic Village for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020, our goal was to create mobility that
integrates cars and information and that coordinates with the community. During the Games, 49,000 athletes, staff, and volunteers used e-Palette. We
also developed a fleet management system for e-Palettes based on the principles of the TPS to ensure effective, efficient, and accurate operation. The
system monitors the vehicles remotely and operates them in a just-in-time fashion according to the conditions of the surrounding environment and the
number of passengers. All of this was realized via the MSPF that Toyota has been building and refining. In the future, we expect that these technologies
will be applied to the Sienna Autono-MaaS minivan being developed in the United States for use as a robotaxi, and that the MSPF will be used not only
for automated vehicles, but also for regular commercial vehicles and logistics.

In this way, software has the power to promptly turn ideas into products. The aim of Arene, the vehicle development platform that Toyota and
Woven by Toyota are focused on, is to continue fundamentally changing the development of software for vehicles. The most notable characteristics of
Arene are that it absorbs the differences in vehicle hardware specifications (abstraction) and employs hardware abstraction layers that enable hardware
to be controlled with universal methods. This, in turn, enables the independent development of hardware and software as well as the reuse of software.
Arene leverages the strengths of hardware cultivated by Toyota to achieve the development of safe, high-quality, and advanced software.
Because increasingly complicated software development is becoming a bottleneck for cars, too, there is a need for a revolutionary vehicle
operating system that can solve these issues. The vehicle operating system will achieve TPS in software development as well, and we must continue to
realize combinations of good hardware and software. For example, when developing automated driving software, the on-board software needed for
automated driving actually makes up only a small portion of it; the rest comprises various tools, such as data processing by the machine learning system,
mounting, code review, software updates, log analyses, and simulations. Basically, most of the software we develop is used “off-board” (that is, outside
vehicles) or through the cloud. Arene is used to develop frameworks for vehicle development and development environments based on those
frameworks as well as to build ecosystems for mobility development. Using industry-leading software technologies, we will strive to continue providing
privacy-conscious, secure, and safe cars.
Furthermore, application development on Arene is also easy. We believe partner companies will be able to program applications more efficiently
using Arene’s application programming interface (a mechanism that can share software functions) and software development kit, which includes
simulation environments. In this way, we believe development on Arene will swiftly realize commercialization and enables users to share the fun of
providing new ideas that appeal to customers while meeting the expectations of worldwide partners and developers as well as the Toyota brand’s high-
quality standards.
The portion of a car’s value attributable to software is growing. By internalizing the parts central to Toyota’s future, we will strategically ensure
the strengths of our hardware and software through internal production, compartmentalize development undertaken with partners, and accelerate the
speed of mass production. For these initiatives, we are building a software development structure on a 3,000-person scale for Woven by Toyota, and
Toyota Connected and on a 18,000-person scale when including associates accounted for by the equity method. We are also strengthening the teams
responsible for the internal production and development of software.
Through connected technologies, we can contribute to carbon neutrality by gaining a better understanding of the characteristics of each region in
the form of data and combining this knowledge with realized technologies. For example, according to market data, in Japan, the engine is turned off for
half of all driving time in hybrid electric vehicles, or HEVs, while for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, or PHEVs, the engine is turned off for as much as
80 percent. We believe HEVs and PHEVs can evolve into environment-friendly vehicles to an even higher degree by upgrading the switching control of
engines and electric motors. In other words, there is room to expand the possibilities of both HEVs and PHEVs.
One mechanism that we believe will enable this is geofencing technology. A portmanteau of geography and fence, geofencing refers to the
combination of navigation and cloud technologies to enable the automatic switching of engine and motor functions in real time to reflect driving
locations and driving times based on geographic data. For example, in zero-emission regulation regions that limit vehicle operation to only BEVs during
certain time periods, geofencing would automatically control the functions of HEVs and PHEVs to ensure compliance with regulations.
Furthermore, geofencing would enable anticipatory eco-driving that switches over to BEV driving as appropriate by predicting the driving burden
based on the driving environment up to the destination. We believe utilizing connected technologies to control HEVs and PHEVs more intelligently will
make it possible to further

promote energy saving in cars. The new NX features a mechanism that switches to HEV control. We expect that in the near future we will be able to
conduct an over-the-air (“OTA”) update of its software so that it will be able to use geofencing technology.
In October 2021, in advance of introducing geofencing technology that is under development with an eye toward practical application, we
introduced anticipatory eco-driving (anticipatory EV/HEV mode switching control) in the Japanese market. It realizes highly efficient driving by
automatically switching between EV and HEV modes depending on the charge left in the battery and the road conditions and characteristics.
OTA refers to using wireless connections to keep the software (control software and high-precision mapping software) updated to the latest
versions. This means that after a car’s purchase, new functions continue to be added and its performance continues to be enhanced, thereby continuing
the vehicle’s evolution into a safer and more secure car that has the latest driving assistance technology.
For the LS and Mirai launched in Japan in April 2021, we have included cars that feature the latest Advanced Drive function of the newest
sophisticated driving assistance technologies developed by Toyota Teammate/Lexus Teammate, and they are eligible for related software updates on an
ongoing basis. The GR Yaris “Morizo Selection” is a new initiative based on GR Yaris that combines the ROOKIE Racing privateer team run by Morizo
(the racing driver name for Akio Toyoda, our Chairman) and Toyota’s KINTO car subscription. We will continue to evolve each car to best match each
customer by reflecting updates (which are based on feedback and data gained in races participated in by Morizo and ROOKIE Racing) and
personalization (which is based on customer driving data) in the software in GR Garage shops through wired connections (not OTA). Furthermore, we
offer better driving methods and support the enhancement of driving skills. Through this, we strive to realize cars that evolve to suit people by updating
to the latest software in line with each customer.
Cars have a wide range of applications, from passenger cars to MaaS and commercial vehicles, and we will continue to expand the regions where
we operate going forward. Needs are increasingly diversifying, and cars can be used in a myriad of ways to meet them. Our efforts thus encompass
people’s problems and social issues, smiles and joy, and needed technological development.
The automobile industry must move people while also achieving coexistence with local communities. For the future and for children, the Toyota
family of companies is working on producing happiness for all through freedom of movement for all and the provision of exciting experiences. We will
continue to enhance the excitement that can be experienced by being able to move by combining real cars and the power of software. If we combine
innovation with technology, we expect that the value of cars will be enhanced further. We will also contribute to the further development of society by
going beyond the borders of cars and contributing to community building and the creation of society-wide platforms.
Toyota provides optimized driver support at every stage of driving, from parking to normal operation, the moment before a collision, during a
collision, and post-collision emergency response. We also aim to enhance safety by strengthening inter-system coordination, rather than considering
each system separately. These are the approaches behind our Integrated Safety Management Concept.

With regards to active safety, the Toyota Safety Sense system packages multiple active safety functions based around three major functions
considered effective in reducing serious traffic accidents causing death or injury. These are Pre-Collision Safety, which helps avoid and mitigate damage
from collisions with cars ahead or pedestrians; Lane Departure Alert, which contributes to preventing accidents caused by leaving the lane of travel; and
Automatic High Beam, which helps ensure clear sight in front of the vehicle at night. Since its market launch in 2015, Toyota Safety Sense has been
installed in more than 38 million vehicles globally as of March 2023. Toyota Safety Sense is now available on nearly all passenger car models (as
standard or an option) in the Japanese, United States, and European markets. It has also been introduced in a total of 120 countries and regions,
including such key markets as China, other select Asian countries, the Middle East and Australia.
Another important concept is passive safety. In the context of automobiles, passive safety combines a body structure that absorbs collision energy
with support to protect vehicle occupants to minimize collision damage. In 1995, in the pursuit of world-leading safety, Toyota created its own stringent
internal target related to passive safety performance called “Global Outstanding Assessment (“GOA”)” and developed a collision-safety body structure
and passenger protection devices. Since then, to maintain its leadership in this field, Toyota has continued to evolve GOA, striving to improve the real-
world safety performance of its vehicles in a wide variety of accidents.
In addition, to analyze vehicle-related injuries, Toyota collaborated with Toyota Central R&D Labs., Inc. to develop the Total Human Model for
Safety (“THUMS”), a virtual human body model. THUMS is being used in the research and development of a variety of safety technologies, including
seat belts, airbags, and other safety equipment, as well as vehicle structures that mitigate injuries in accidents involving pedestrians. Toyota made
THUMS freely available through its website in January 2021 in the hope that it will be used by more people across more applications.
Every minute counts in the response to an accident or medical emergency. In the event of an accident or medical emergency, Toyota’s HELPNET®
emergency reporting system service contacts a dedicated operator who will arrange for the rapid dispatch of emergency vehicles from police, fire
department, or emergency services. Specifically, HELPNET® automatically contacts an operator when the airbags deploy and supports D-Call Net®, a
service that makes quick deployment decisions for air ambulances. This service is provided by sending vehicle data to the HELPNET center from an
on-board data communication module.
Toyota has been engaged in the research and development of automated driving technologies since the 1990s. The Mobility Teammate Concept is
an automated driving concept unique to Toyota that seeks to enhance communication between drivers and their cars, enabling them to assist one another
in coordinated driving as companions. Rather than cars taking over driving from people and replacing them, we believe that drivers and cars can act as
partners to protect one another, so that drivers can enjoy the experience of driving while deferring to automated driving at times, and thereby achieving
truly safe, secure and unrestricted mobility.
The Lexus LS and Mirai models launched in April 2021 are equipped with “Toyota/Lexus Teammate state-of-the-art” driving assist technology,
with some grades including Advanced Drive, a system that assists driving on an expressways or other motor-vehicle-only roadways. The Advanced
Drive on-board system will appropriately detect the vehicle’s surroundings, make decisions, and assist driving under the driver’s supervision according
to actual traffic conditions. It can keep the vehicle in its lane, maintain the distance from other vehicles, navigate a lane split, change lanes, and overtake
other vehicles until leaving the roadway for the destination. The system achieves high levels of safety and peace of mind, reducing driver fatigue and
providing a pleasant journey to the driver’s destination.
Deep learning-focused AI technologies support driving by predicting and responding to a wide variety of situations that could occur when driving.
In addition, Advanced Drive is capable of Over-the-Air upgrades, and occasional software updates may be issued. The system continues to add features
and improve performance to enhance the driving experience and provide the latest safety technologies even after the vehicle has been delivered to the
customer.

Cars have many uses, and customer needs continue to diversify. Accordingly, Toyota is advancing R&D into automated driving technologies not
only for personally owned vehicles (“POVs”), but also in the field of MaaS. Toyota is one of the first companies to launch advanced automated driving
technology for vehicles sold to corporate customers. Data collected from these vehicles will then be collected, analyzed, and fed back into development
to further evolve automated driving technologies for POVs.
Toyota carries out awareness-raising initiatives for drivers and pedestrians to help prevent traffic accidents. One such initiative for drivers is the
Toyota Driver Communication safe driving technique seminar held periodically at Toyota Safety Education Center Mobilitas, on the grounds of Fuji
Speedway. For pedestrians, in cooperation with Toyota dealers across Japan, Toyota has been donating traffic safety teaching materials to kindergartens
and nursery schools nationwide since 1969.
CASE technologies can only contribute to society once they become widespread. Commercial vehicles can play important roles in CASE
technology dissemination, as they travel long distances for extended periods of time to support the economy and society and can be easily linked with
infrastructure development. By combining the commercial vehicle foundations of the companies participating in CJPT with Toyota’s CASE
technologies, the companies aim to accelerate the societal implementation and adoption of CASE technologies and services and thereby help address
social issues and contribute to the realization of carbon neutrality.
Distribution by truck accounts for the vast majority of overland logistics in Japan, and the transportation sector (including buses and taxis)
involves a significant number of people. Commercial vehicles account for a significant amount of the total distance traveled by automobiles and CO2
emissions from automobiles in Japan. Furthermore, the logistics companies operating in Japan currently face numerous management issues, such as
high-frequency distribution, harsh work environments, labor shortages, and rising burdens on workers. The power of CASE, centered on connected
technologies and services, is a promising approach to effecting improvements that will help resolve these issues.
Solving these kinds of social issues is not something that one company can accomplish alone. It is necessary to seek a wide range of like-minded
partners, apply their different strengths, and work together for the sake of those supporting transportation and for society.
As many of Japan’s roads are so narrow that only mini-vehicles can easily use them, mini-vehicles are collectively a kind of “people’s car,” made
to suit the roads of Japan. They are a practical and sustainable lifeline for people across the country and have continued to evolve alongside changing
lifestyles. Similarly, commercial mini-vehicles are able to effectively cover areas that their small size makes accessible, supporting logistics operations
mainly in the last mile.
We expect that expanding the CJP project to include mini-vehicles will enable efficient, integrated logistics, linking the main arteries of logistics
(handled by trucks) with the capillaries of logistics (the domain of commercial mini-vehicles) while leveraging connected technologies and abundant
data. This new collaboration is also aimed at promoting the broader use of affordable advanced safety technologies and electrification by leveraging
Suzuki and Daihatsu’s strengths in high-quality, low-cost manufacturing and Toyota’s CASE technologies.
Our efforts to achieve carbon neutrality center on two pillars: electrification and improving logistics efficiency.

Amid pressure to enhance cost competitiveness, maintaining a competitive edge in the area of commercial vehicle electrification is increasingly
challenging. Competitiveness increasingly hinges on connected technologies and uses of batteries and other technologies. Accordingly, manufacturers
must step up the unique added value that they offer.
We believe that improving transport efficiency will contribute greatly to realizing carbon neutrality. The companies that are participating in CJPT
will link their connected technology platforms to build a more comprehensive platform for commercial vehicles and leverage the TPS, one of Toyota’s
strengths, to realize JIT logistics and increase transport efficiency, thereby helping to reduce CO2 emissions. Using connected technologies to link
logistics from the major arteries to the fine capillaries, and from producers to consumers, using truck logistics and local mini-vehicle-based distribution,
JIT logistics have the potential to lower running costs for logistics vendors and sustainably improve logistics.
In collaboration with its partners, CJPT began the construction and social implementation of an energy management system (“EMS”) in
Fukushima Prefecture and Tokyo in January 2023 to promote the widespread use of electrified vehicles.
The introduction of commercial electric vehicles imposes an increasing burden on society as a whole, not only in terms of vehicle purchase, but
also in terms of downtime for cargo and vehicles due to recharging and hydrogen filling and an increase in peak electricity demand at business sites due
to the concentration of recharging at certain times.
A total of 580 commercial electrified vehicles will be used in this social implementation project, including heavy- and light-duty fuel cell electric
trucks, light-duty BEV trucks, and mini-commercial van BEVs, to comprehensively cover transportation from trunk lines to the last mile. In addition,
the use of an EMS that is integrated with commercial vehicle operation management will help reduce the overall burden on society and CO2 emissions.
At the project in Fukushima, we are working to create an implementation model focusing on hydrogen use in cities with populations of around 300,000,
a common city size for Japan, with the aim of applying the model to similar-sized cities nationwide.
In addition, CJPT is working with AEON KYUSHU Co., Ltd. and AEON GLOBAL SCM Co., Ltd. on a logistics improvement project for the
AEON Group in the Kyushu area that will solve problems faced by the logistics industry, such as soaring logistics costs and driver shortages.
By combining the logistics expertise built up by AEON KYUSHU and AEON GLOBAL SCM with the connected technologies of the companies
participating in CJPT, the project aims to (1) establish new operations to improve efficiency by linking each process in the supply chain, (2) improve
efficiency by minimizing logistics downtime through the use of big data and real-time processing on connected technology infrastructure and
(3) promote collaboration with a wide range of partners to achieve these initiatives.
Going forward, through the CJP project, the participating companies will deepen their collaboration while openly considering cooperation with
other like-minded partners, working to help fulfill the automotive industry’s mission of helping improve people’s lives and leave a better Japan and a
better planet for the next generation.
Woven City
The Woven City project, first announced in January 2020, officially broke ground on February 23, 2021. Woven City will demonstrate cutting
edge technologies in such areas as automated driving, MaaS, personal mobility, robotics, smart homes, and artificial intelligence in a real living
environment. By rapidly implementing development and demonstration cycles of technologies and services in this human-centered city, we aim to
continue to produce new value and business models by utilizing the mobility of “information,” “goods,” and “people” to support daily life.

Woven City will be constructed on the site of Toyota Motor East Japan’s former Higashi-Fuji Plant, which was a pillar of production for Toyota
for 53 years, starting in 1967. At its peak, the plant had 2,000 employees, and a total of 7,000 individuals worked there over its history, producing such
vehicles as the Toyota Century, Toyota’s flagship chauffeur car infused with Toyota craftsmanship, and the JPN Taxi, a car that requires many times the
durability of an ordinary passenger car.
The concept for Woven City can be traced back to the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. As our President, Akio Toyoda sought to create jobs
for the region’s people, who were hit hardest by the disaster, by creating a third base of operations in the Tohoku region. Guided by his strong
leadership, Toyota established Toyota Motor East Japan, Inc. in 2012. However, this also led to the difficult decision to close the Higashi-Fuji Plant.
Looking for a way to carry on the Higashi-Fuji Plant’s legacy of manufacturing to help create future mobility for the next 50 years, he arrived at the idea
of transforming the site into a connected city as a large-scale demonstration experiment.
At Woven City, we aim to make people happy by expanding what mobility can do for human beings and building systems that will create novel
value. In addition to the mobility of people, goods, and information, we emphasize that mobility also has an emotional component and represents
feelings, such as being moved. Through mobility that connects human hearts, Woven City will help us invent the technologies and services that will
become the future fabric of life, constantly evolving alongside the inventors who live there and our partners.
Woven City is a test course for mobility, enabling us to rapidly implement development and demonstration cycles for diverse forms of mobility in
both the virtual and the real world. For example, to achieve safe mobility, Woven City will comprise three types of roads, woven together like warp and
weft: paths for people, roads shared by people and personal mobility devices, and roads for autonomous vehicles. We will use these roads to advance the
integrated three-part development of automated driving at the levels of people, vehicles, and the traffic environment. Guided by the three concepts of
“human-centered,” “a living laboratory,” and the “ever-evolving city,” Woven City will demonstrate technologies from logistics to energy, food, and
agriculture as it grows into a test course conducive to the timely generation of new inventions that address social issues.
One such initiative is the hydrogen refueling station to be built by ENEOS adjacent to Woven City. The station will produce CO2-free hydrogen
for supply to both FCEVs and to Woven City. Using Woven City as a living laboratory, we will demonstrate a supply chain across the production,
transportation, and use of hydrogen, taking new steps toward achieving carbon neutrality. The name “Woven City” comes from Toyota’s origins in
automatic looms. Sakichi Toyoda, the founder of the Toyota family of companies, was driven to invent an automatic loom out of a desire to make his
mother’s work easier. We have guarded and nurtured this spirit of service to others ever since. Woven City will take up this commitment from the
Higashi-Fuji Plant, growing and evolving as the foundation for a new era at Toyota.
Financial Services
Toyota’s financial services include loan programs and leasing programs for customers and dealers. Toyota believes that its ability to provide
financing to its customers is an important value-added service. In July 2000, Toyota established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Toyota Financial Services
Corporation, to oversee the management of Toyota’s finance companies worldwide, through which Toyota aims to strengthen the overall
competitiveness of its financial business, improve risk management and streamline decision-making processes. Toyota has expanded its network of
financial services, in accordance with its strategy of developing auto-related financing businesses in significant markets. Accordingly, Toyota currently
operates financial services companies in 43 countries and regions, which support its automotive operations globally.
Toyota’s sales revenues from its financial services operations were ¥2,809.6 billion in fiscal 2023, ¥2,324.0 billion in fiscal 2022 and
¥2,162.2 billion in fiscal 2021. While there were negative factors in fiscal 2023, such as supply constraints on new cars due to the ongoing tight global
semiconductor supply relative to

demand, and increased competition with other financial institutions, Toyota’s business saw steady growth mainly due to the higher interest rates on
customer loans rate on the back of rising global interest rates and accumulated balance of earning assets resulting from enhanced used-vehicle financing.
Under such circumstances, as a result of Toyota’s continued collaboration with dealers in various countries and regions and efforts to expand products
and services that meet customer needs, Toyota’s share of financing provided for new car sales of Toyota and Lexus vehicles in regions where Toyota
Financial Services Corporation operates remained at a high level of approximately 30%, and the balance of earning assets continued to steadily increase.
In addition, Toyota is making efforts to provide both its customers and dealers with stable financial services by diversifying its funding methods through
direct financing from the market, such as ABCP (Asset Backed Commercial Paper) and ABS (Asset Backed Securities), in addition to using already
existing means as commercial paper, corporate bonds and bank borrowings. Furthermore, Toyota continued to perform detailed credit appraisals and
serve customers by monitoring bad debt and loan payment extensions, but the percentage of credit losses rose to 0.17% and 0.30% in fiscal 2022 and
2023, respectively, due to inflation and rising interest rates. Toyota continues to work towards improving its risk management measures in connection
with credit and residual value risks.
Toyota Motor Credit Corporation is Toyota’s principal financial services subsidiary in the United States. Toyota also provides financial services in
42 other countries and regions through various financial services subsidiaries, including:
• Toyota Finance Corporation in Japan;
• Toyota Credit Canada Inc. in Canada;
• Toyota Finance Australia Ltd. in Australia;
• Toyota Kreditbank GmbH in Germany;
• Toyota Financial Services (UK) PLC in the United Kingdom;
• Toyota Leasing (Thailand) Co., Ltd. in Thailand; and
• Toyota Motor Finance (China) Co., Ltd. in China.
Toyota Motor Credit Corporation provides a wide range of financial services, including retail financing, retail leasing, wholesale financing and
insurance. Toyota Finance Corporation also provides a range of financial services, including retail financing, retail leasing and credit cards. Toyota’s
other finance subsidiaries provide services including retail financing, retail leasing and wholesale financing.
The KINTO subscription service, which started in Japan in 2019 in response to the shift from “owning” cars to “using” cars, has been steadily
enhancing its service lineup and gaining brand awareness. In Europe, full service leasing is being made available in wider areas. Furthermore, Toyota
developed and provides customers with the payment application “TOYOTA Wallet” as a platform that contributes to improving the convenience of
customers’ daily payments and creating a foundation for a mobility society.
Finance receivables for all of Toyota’s dealer and customer financing operations were ¥24,770.8 billion as of March 31, 2023, representing an
increase of 13.8% as compared to the previous year. The majority of Toyota’s financial services are provided in North America. As of March 31, 2023,
56.9% of Toyota’s finance receivables were derived from financing operations in North America, 14.0% from Europe, 12.0% from Asia, 6.3% from
Japan and 10.8% from other areas.
Approximately 40% of Toyota’s unit sales in the United States during fiscal 2023 included a finance or lease arrangement with Toyota. Because
the majority of Toyota’s financial services operations are related to the sale of Toyota vehicles, a decrease in vehicle unit sales may lead to a contraction
of Toyota’s financial services operations.
The worldwide financial services market is highly competitive. Toyota’s competitors in retail financing and retail leasing include commercial
banks, credit unions and other finance companies. Commercial banks and other

automobile finance subsidiary companies serving their parent automobile companies are competitors of Toyota’s wholesale financing activities.
Competitors in Toyota’s insurance operations are primarily national and regional insurance companies.
For information on Toyota’s finance receivables and operating leases, please see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — 5.A
Operating Results — Financial Services Operations.”
Retail Financing
Toyota’s finance subsidiaries acquire new and used vehicle installment contracts primarily from Toyota dealers. Installment contracts acquired
must first meet specified credit standards. Thereafter, the finance company retains responsibility for installment payment collections and administration.
Toyota’s finance subsidiaries acquire security interests in the vehicles financed and can generally repossess vehicles if customers fail to meet their
contractual obligations. Almost all retail financings are non-recourse, which relieves the dealers from financial responsibility in the event of
repossession. In most cases, Toyota’s finance subsidiaries require their retail financing customers to carry automobile insurance on financed vehicles
covering the interests of both the finance company and the customer.
Toyota has historically sponsored, and continues to sponsor, special lease and retail programs by subsidizing below market lease and retail
contract rates.
Retail Leasing
In the area of retail leasing, Toyota’s finance subsidiaries acquire new vehicle lease contracts originated primarily through Toyota dealers. Lease
contracts acquired must first meet specified credit standards after which the finance company assumes ownership of the leased vehicle. The finance
company is generally permitted to take possession of the vehicle upon a default by the lessee. Toyota’s finance subsidiaries are responsible for contract
collection and administration during the lease period. The residual value is normally estimated at the time the vehicle is first leased. Vehicles returned to
the finance subsidiaries at the end of their leases are sold by auction. For example, in the United States, vehicles are sold through a network of auction
sites, as well as through the Internet. In most cases, Toyota’s finance subsidiaries require lessees to carry automobile insurance on leased vehicles
covering the interests of both the finance company and the lessee.
Wholesale Financing
Toyota’s finance subsidiaries also provide wholesale financing primarily to qualified Toyota dealers to finance inventories of new Toyota vehicles
and used vehicles of Toyota and others. The finance companies acquire security interests in vehicles financed at wholesale. In cases where additional
security interests would be required, the finance companies take dealership assets or personal assets, or both, as additional security. If a dealer defaults,
the finance companies have the right to liquidate any assets acquired and seek legal remedies.
Toyota’s finance subsidiaries also make 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.
Insurance
Toyota provides insurance services in the United States through Toyota Motor Credit Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary, Toyota Motor
Insurance Services, Inc. (“TMIS”) and its wholly owned insurance company subsidiaries. Their principal activities include marketing, underwriting and
claims administration. TMIS also provides coverage related to vehicle service agreements through Toyota dealers to customers. In addition, TMIS also
provides coverage and related administrative services to affiliated companies of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation. Toyota dealers in Japan and in other
countries and regions also engage in vehicle insurance sales.

Vehicle Emissions
Japanese Standards
The Air Pollution Control Act of Japan and the Road Transport Vehicle Act and the Act Concerning Special Measures for Total Emission
Reduction of Nitrogen Oxides and Particulate Matter from Automobiles in Specified Areas regulate vehicle emissions in Japan. In recent years, in
addition to the strengthened regulations on particulate matters emitted from gasoline-fueled vehicles, as can be seen from the adoption of the Worldwide
Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Cycle (“WLTC”) driving cycles and the introduction of the Real Driving Emission (“RDE”), more stringent regulations
have been decided to be introduced to match the European Standards. Moreover, both the Noise Regulation Act and the Road Transport Vehicle Act
provide for noise reduction standards on automobiles in Japan.

tailpipe emission standards for volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, as well as standards for
evaporative emissions and guaranteed useful life (which relates to a vehicle’s ability to meet emission limits over time), would become increasingly
stringent in phases from model years 2017 to 2025. The rule brought federal emission standards for these pollutants in line with California’s emission
standards. The new Tier 3 rule also required reductions in gasoline’s sulfur content beginning in model year 2017. In April 2023, new Tier 4 emission
standards were proposed for passenger vehicles, light-duty trucks, medium-duty passenger vehicles and some heavy-duty vehicles from model year
2027 onwards, including more stringent emissions standards than those for California.
California Standards
Under the federal Clean Air Act, the State of California has been permitted to establish its own vehicle emission control standards if it receives a
waiver from the EPA that allows the California standards to preempt less-stringent federal standards. The EPA granted such a preemption waiver to
California in January 2013. The waiver provides a legal basis for California’s Advanced Clean Cars (“ACC”) program.
In January 2012, the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) adopted the ACC program. The ACC program, developed in coordination with the
EPA and the federal National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”), includes Low-Emission Vehicle (“LEV”) regulations, known as the
LEV III regulations, that reduce emissions of smog-causing pollutants (volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate
matter) and greenhouse gases from passenger cars and light-duty trucks for model years 2015 to 2025. The regulations include standards for evaporative
emissions and guaranteed useful life as well.
The ACC program also includes a mandate for zero-emission vehicles. Pursuant to the mandate, CARB requires that a specified percentage of a
manufacturer’s passenger cars and light-duty trucks sold in California be “zero-emission vehicles” (vehicles producing no emissions of regulated
pollutants) (“ZEV”), as well as permits certain advanced technology vehicles such as PHEVs, and alternative fuel vehicles that meet “partial
zero-emission vehicles requirements,” to be granted partial qualification as BEVs or FCEVs. Toyota’s MIRAI qualifies as a zero-emission vehicle. The
current Prius Prime has been certified as a partial zero-emission vehicle. Toyota intends to continue to develop additional advanced technologies and
alternative fuel technologies that will allow other vehicles to qualify as zero-emission vehicles or partial-zero-emission vehicles.
The Advanced Clean Cars II (“ACC II”) regulations will go before the CARB on June 9, 2022. ACC II includes LEV IV regulations that would
further reduce emissions from light- and medium-duty vehicles, and an expanded mandate that would increase the percentage of ZEV vehicles that
manufacturers must sell in California. The new LEV IV regulations and expanded ZEV mandate would apply to model years 2026 – 2035.
California has adopted regulations that require that On-Board Diagnostics (“OBD”) systems be incorporated into the computers of vehicles sold in
California. OBD systems monitor components that can affect the emission performance of a vehicle and, if a problem with a component is detected,
illuminates a warning light on the vehicle’s instrument panel. The systems also store the malfunction information in the computer to facilitate repairs.
California’s OBD regulations are the most stringent in the world. In addition, in November 2022, the CARB adopted the ACC II program covering
model years 2026 to 2035. The ACC II program consists of two parts. The first is regulations on zero-emission vehicles. Under the California
Governor’s Order of 2020 (N-79-20), all new vehicles sold in California will be zero-emission vehicles by 2035. The second is the LEV (Low Emission
Vehicle) 4 regulation, which strengthens emission standards for volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and particulate matter
from passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks, except for ZEVs, and guaranteed service life, as well as evaporative emission standards.

Washington) have adopted regulations substantially similar to California’s low-emission vehicle requirement, and 15 of these have adopted California’s
zero-emission vehicle requirement. As of November 2022, according to CARB, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico and Virginia are planning to introduce
California low-emission vehicle emissions regulations.
Canadian Standards
Canada has finalized vehicle emission standards equivalent to the federal standards in the United States in October 2014, in response to the
strengthening of the federal vehicle emission standards in the United States applicable to model years 2017 to 2025. Furthermore, certain Canadian
provinces are currently considering enacting their own regulations. On January 11, 2018, the Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment and the
Fight against Climate Change of the Province of Quebec issued regulations on zero-emission vehicles including BEVs, FCVs and PHEVs, among
others. In November 2018, the premier of British Columbia announced that the government would introduce legislation concerning zero-emission
vehicles (indicating the phase-in introduction starting from model year 2020). Canada also adopted a more stringent fuel rule, which is based on the fuel
rule in the United States, that reduces refineries’ annual average sulfur concentration of gasoline to 10mg/kg from 2017 with a new addition of credit
system to secure compliance. In December 2022, Environment and Climate Change Canada submitted a proposal to regulate zero-emission vehicles
from model years 2026 to 2035. The proposal incorporates Transport Canada’s declaration in July 2021 that it will introduce 100% zero emissions for
light-duty passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks sold after 2035.
European Standards
In 2007, the European Parliament adopted more stringent emission standards for passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles. The effective
date for phasing in these stricter standards for passenger vehicles was September 2014 for Euro 6. For light commercial vehicles, the effective date was
September 2015 for Euro 6.
The primary focus of Euro 6 is to limit further emissions of diesel-powered vehicles and bring them down to a level equivalent to gasoline-
powered vehicles. The EU is now implementing the RDE regulations, which require manufacturers to conduct on-road emissions tests using portable
emissions testers to demonstrate compliance. Since September 2017, manufacturers have been required to reduce the divergence between the regulatory
limit tested in laboratory conditions and the values of RDE tests, and this divergence factor was made more stringent for all new vehicles effective
January 2021. The EU is now also implementing the Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure (“WLTP”), which was introduced on
September 1, 2017. The OBD regulations have also been tightened in terms of both subject parts and regulatory values. Effective January 1, 2019, the
EU implemented an improved WLTP that purports to eliminate test flexibilities and introduces on-board fuel and energy consumption monitoring
devices.
Discussions are currently underway for Euro 7, which will be more stringent than Euro 6. The European Commission expects to publish the Euro
7 proposed limits in the third quarter of 2022.
Chinese Standards
The next-generation emissions regulations for passenger vehicles, or Level 6 Emissions Regulations (China 6), were issued as GB18352.6-2016 at
the end of 2016, pursuant to which tighter requirements will be implemented in two steps, depending on the regulated subjects and the implementation
timing. Specifically, China 6a will apply to all models to be sold or registered in July 2020 and beyond, and China 6b will apply to all models to be sold
or registered in July 2023 and beyond. China 6b will also introduce the RDE Regulations adopted under Euro 6. The OBD regulations have also been
tightened in terms of both subject parts and regulatory values. With respect to fuels in the market, the quality standards and the implementation from
January 2019 for China 6 gasoline fuel and China 6 diesel fuel have been provided in GB17930-2016 and GB19147-2016 so as to keep up with the
implementation timing of China 6 emissions regulations. Moreover, for some areas

where the air quality improvement is an urgent necessity, China 6 was implemented ahead of the implementation throughout China. Discussions are
currently underway for Level 7 Emissions Regulations (“China 7”), which will be more stringent that the China 6 Emissions Regulations.
For heavy-duty diesel-powered commercial vehicles, pursuant to GB17691-2005, the China V Emissions Regulations are being implemented from
July 2017. With the establishment of GB17691-2018, which provides next-level China VI Emissions Regulations (“China VI”), it has been decided that
China Via will be implemented from July 2021 and China Vib from July 2023 (these regulations will apply to gas-fueled vehicles and public vehicles for
urban areas earlier than those dates). For heavy-duty gasoline-powered commercial vehicles, pursuant to GB14762-2008, Level IV Emissions
Regulations (“China IV”) apply to new models after July 2012. After the first day the regulation is implemented to a new model, all new models
released during the following one-year period also become subject to the regulation. Tightening of the next-generation emissions regulations (China V
and China VI) is currently considered for heavy-duty gasoline-powered commercial vehicles.
U.S. Standards
The Federal Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act requires automobile manufacturers to comply with CAFE standards. A manufacturer
is subject to substantial civil penalties if, in any model year, its vehicles do not meet the CAFE standards. Manufacturers that exceed the CAFE
standards earn credits determined by the difference between the average fuel economy performance of their vehicles and the CAFE standards. Credits
earned for the five model years preceding the current model year, and credits projected to be earned for the next three model years, can be used to meet
CAFE standards in a current model year.
In December 2011, the EPA and the NHTSA issued a joint proposed rule to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy
for passenger cars, light-duty trucks and medium-duty passenger vehicles for model years 2017 through 2025. Pursuant to the rule, which was finalized
in August 2012, these vehicles would be required to meet an estimated combined average emission level of 163 grams of carbon dioxide per mile in
model year 2025, equivalent to 54.5 miles per gallon if these requirements are met through improvements in fuel economy standards. At the same time,
the NHTSA issued CAFE standards for passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks that would require manufacturers to meet an industry average fuel
economy level of 49.6 miles per gallon in model year 2025.

Under the Trump Administration, the EPA and the NHTSA proposed less stringent greenhouse gas emission standards and CAFE standards, and
the withdrawal of California’s waiver to issue its own, more stringent greenhouse gas emission standards under the LEV III program. However, under
the Biden Administration, the EPA and the NHTSA withdrew these proposed greenhouse gas emission standards and CAFE standards, and in March
2022, the EPA reinstated California’s authority to enforce its own greenhouse gas emissions standards.
On December 30, 2021, the EPA issued a final rule revising passenger car and light-duty truck greenhouse gas emissions standards for model
years 2023 through 2026. The new rule is based on Presidential Executive Order 13990 and is more stringent compared to the Safer Affordable Fuel
Efficient (“SAFE) Vehicles Rule issued in April 2020 which temporarily relaxed the greenhouse gas emissions rate to 1.5% per year. The new rule
reduces greenhouse gas emissions, year-over-year, by 10% for model year 2023, 5% for 2024, 6.6% for 2025, and more than 10% for 2026. Based on
these reductions, the industry-wide average emission targets for passenger cars and light-duty trucks is projected by the EPA to be 161 grams of carbon
dioxide per mile in model year 2026.
On March 31, 2022, the NHTSA issued a final rule revising passenger car and light-duty truck fuel economy standards for model years 2024
through 2026. As with the EPA’s greenhouse gas emission rule, this new rule is based on Presidential Executive Order 13990. The new rule establishes
standards that would require an industry-wide fleet of approximately 49 mpg for passenger cars and light duty trucks in model year 2026. This is to be
achieved by increasing fuel efficiency, year-over-year, by 8% for model year 2024, 8% for 2025, and 10% for 2026 which is more stringent than the
SAFE Vehicles Rule that temporarily relaxed the rate to 1.5% per year.
In April 2023, the EPA announced new proposed greenhouse gas emissions standards for light-duty vehicles from model years 2027 to 2032. The
proposal incorporates Executive Order 14037 which requires 50% of new vehicles sold in 2030 be zero-emission vehicles and that model year 2032
vehicles meet the industry average CO2 emission level of 82 grams per mile.
European Standards
In the EU, the average carbon dioxide emissions limit for light commercial vehicles is currently 147 grams per kilometer and for passenger
vehicles 95 grams per kilometer. Manufacturers failing to meet their targets incur penalties of €95 from the first gram of exceedance onwards in 2019
and beyond. Starting in 2021, these emissions targets are tested using the WLTP.
In April 2019, the European Parliament and the Council adopted new carbon dioxide standards for vehicles and light commercial vehicles for the
period after 2020. Average emissions of the EU fleet of new vehicles and light commercial vehicles in 2025 must be 15% lower than in 2021, and by
2030, emissions must be reduced further to 37.5% and 31% of 2021 levels for vehicles and light commercial vehicles, respectively. From 2025, a
crediting system will be introduced to relax a manufacturer’s specific carbon dioxide emissions targets where the manufacturer produces numbers of
“zero and low-emission vehicles” above specified benchmarks.
In March 2023, the European Parliament and the European Council approved new carbon dioxide standards applicable to automobiles and light-
duty commercial vehicles in 2030 and 2035. By 2030, it will be required to reduce emissions by 55% per automobile and 50% per van compared to
2021 levels, and by 2035, it will be required to reduce emissions by 100% per automobile and van compared to 2021 levels.
To achieve a climate-neutral EU by 2050 and an intermediate target of at least 55% net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, the
European Commission proposed in July 2021 substantially more stringent carbon dioxide emissions targets for vehicles and light commercial vehicles,
as part of its “Fit for 55” package. The proposal strengthens the 2030 targets from 37.5% to a 55% reduction for new passenger cars and from 31% to a
50% reduction for new light commercial vehicles, both relative to the 2021 baseline discussed above. In addition, the proposal introduces a new 2035
carbon dioxide target set at a 100% reduction for new vehicles and

vans, again relative to the 2021 baseline. The 2025 target remains unchanged at a 15% reduction for both new vehicles and vans. The proposal has not
yet been finalized.
An EU directive on motor vehicle air conditioning units requires manufacturers to replace the refrigerants with that having a lower global
warming impact for all newly registered vehicles starting in January 2017.
Chinese Standards
Fuel consumption regulations are being implemented pursuant to the Chinese National Standards (“GB”), and the manufacture and sale of vehicle
models not meeting these regulations are prohibited. For light-duty passenger vehicles, GB27999-2011 was issued. In these Level 3 Fuel Consumption
Regulations for passenger vehicles, the regulation framework was substantially revised, such as the introduction of new regulations requiring automobile
manufacturers to meet standards of corporate average fuel consumption across models in addition to existing regulations requiring each model to meet
consumption standards. Furthermore, in order to achieve the national target for average fuel efficiency for 2020, the following more stringent fuel
consumption regulations have been enforced. First, GB19578-2014, which has been enacted to strengthen regulations for each model, is being applied to
new models after January 2016. Second, GB27999-2014, which has been enacted as Level 4 Fuel Consumption Regulations for passenger vehicles to
strengthen corporate average regulations, has been in effect since 2016. In 2021, the fuel economy test mode was changed from NEDC to WLTC, and
the Level 5 Fuel Consumption Regulations for passenger vehicles to achieve the average fuel efficiency target by 2025, GB19578-2021 and GB27999-
2019, has been in effect since 2021. Currently, Level 6 Fuel Consumption Regulations for passenger vehicles are being considered as more stringent fuel
consumption regulations. For light-duty commercial vehicles, GB20997-2015 was enacted, which further applied Level 3 Fuel Consumption
Regulations to all new vehicles from January 2018 and is currently being enforced. Moreover, the implementation of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA),
which comprehensively regulates the amount of carbon dioxide emitted during the vehicle manufacturing, use, and disposal processes, among others, is
being considered earlier than in the rest of the world.
With respect to large commercial vehicles, pursuant to GB30510-2018, Level 3 Fuel Consumption Regulations apply to new vehicles from July
2019 and are currently being enforced. In addition, in an effort to further strengthen fuel consumption regulations for the next generation, Level 4 Fuel
Consumption Regulations are currently being considered.
Vehicle Safety
Japanese Standards
Japan has been participating in the 1958 Agreement of the UN and has a number of technical standards that are harmonized with the UN
Regulations.
Furthermore, unique to Japan, the safety standards for automated driving systems were established in March 2020, requiring, in addition to a
certain level of performance of automated driving system, the installation of an event data recorder and cyber security measures against unauthorized
access. In addition, a certification program was introduced in April 2020 with respect to the system to control sudden acceleration by mixing up the gas
and brake pedals as well as the collision damage mitigation brake system.
In addition, the approvals required for fuel-cell vehicles using compressed hydrogen under the High Pressure Gas Safety Act and the Road
Vehicles Act were consolidated at the ordinary session of the Diet in 2022.

U.S. Standards
In November 2021, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill was signed into law by President Biden. It requires the NHTSA create regulations that cover
a wide range of matters, including the application of preventive safety technology, the strengthening of USNCAP, and the prevention of drunk driving,
in order to improve road safety. In response to this, NHTSA sought public comments in 2022 regarding the strengthening of USNCAP and expansion of
the recording requirements regarding Event Data Recorders (EDR). Notices for further public comments on the USNCAP, pedestrian protection and
autonomous emergency braking are also expected to be issued in the future. With respect to automated driving vehicles, on January 8, 2020 the Trump
Administration and the U.S. Department of Transportation released Ensuring American Leadership in Automated Vehicle Technologies: Automated
Vehicles 4.0 (“AV 4.0”). AV 4.0 unified efforts across 38 Federal departments, independent agencies, commissions, and Presidential Executive Offices in
providing high level guidance to state and local governments and other stakeholders. AV 4.0 also established Federal principles for the development and
integration of automated vehicles. California and many other states, despite AV 4.0, have adopted different approval systems so that automated vehicles
must be compliant with regulations and systems that vary from state to state. On December 23, 2020, California issued its first autonomous vehicle
deployment permit.
European Standards
In December 2019, the EU issued the revised General Safety Regulation to tighten the requirements concerning safety and the protection of
vehicle occupants and vulnerable road users. This revised General Safety Regulation will make certain vehicle safety equipment mandatory in stages
starting 2022, including: automated emergency braking, emergency lane keeping systems, driver drowsiness and attention warning, intelligent speed
assistance, reversing detection systems, tire pressure monitoring systems, and data recorders in case of an accident (“event data recorders”). In relation
to this, various UN Regulations were developed, and for the equipment for which UN Regulations have not been developed, the EU established its own
technical standards.
Furthermore, a proposal for a major overhaul of the EU-type approval framework for motor vehicles was issued in June 2018. The new regulation
purports to raise the quality and independency of vehicle type-approval and testing, to increase checks of vehicles that are already on the EU market, and
to strengthen European Commission oversight of the framework. It became mandatory for all new vehicle models as of September 1, 2020. In the case
of automated driving vehicles, it is also possible to obtain approval under this framework only for cars produced in small quantities.
Chinese Standards
Vehicle safety regulations in China were in general established having regard to the UN regulations. However, China’s own national technical
standards on functions such as batteries, motors, and the charging and remote surveillance of BEVs have been made mandatory. Fuel-cell vehicles are
subject to the supervising regulations on the safety of high pressure gas in addition to the vehicle type approval requirement. Moreover, in accordance
with the Made in China 2025 policy, more than 100 standards for intelligent connected vehicles (“ICV”) are being developed (including automation,
telecommunication and security).

Environmental Matters
Japanese Standards
Automotive operations in Japan are subject to substantial environmental regulation under laws such as the Air Pollution Control Act, the Water
Pollution Prevention Act, the Noise Regulation Act and the Vibration Control Act. Under these laws, if a business entity establishes or alters any facility
that is regulated by these laws, the business entity is required to give prior notice to regulators, and if a business entity discharges, uses or stores
substances that are environmental burdens or causes noise or vibration from such facility, the business entity is also required to comply with the
applicable standards. Toyota is subject to local regulations, which in some cases impose more stringent obligations than the Japanese central government
requirements. Under the Waste Management and Public Cleansing Act, producers of industrial waste must dispose of industrial waste in the manner
prescribed in the same act.
The Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act of Japan requires that landowners conduct contamination testing and submit a report at the time
they cease to use hazardous substances, such as in connection with the sale of a former factory, or if there is a possibility of health hazards due to land
contamination. If it is found that land contamination exceeds a certain level, the relevant prefectural authority designates the area as considered to be
contaminated, orders the landowner to submit a plan for decontamination (such plan must describe the measures to be taken in the area, the reasons
therefor, and the deadline for implementing such measures, etc.), and has the landowner take such measures in accordance with such plan. In addition,
under the Act on Recycling, etc. of End-of-Life Vehicles, vehicle manufacturers are required to take back and recycle specified materials (automotive
shredder residues, air bags and fluorocarbons) of end-of-life vehicles and the provisions concerning such obligations of vehicle manufacturers became
effective in January 2005. Toyota has coordinated with relevant parties to establish a vehicle take-back and recycle system throughout Japan. As a result,
in fiscal 2022, Toyota achieved a recycling/recovery rate of 96% for automobile shredder residue (the legal requirement being 70%) and 95% for air
bags (the legal requirement being 85%) and reached the targets set forth in this law.
U.S. Standards
The environmental regulations applicable in the United States include, among others, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 and the Toxic Substances Control Act. Toyota is subject to a variety of state
legislation that parallels, and in some cases imposes more stringent obligations than, federal requirements.
Pursuant to the Clean Air Act, the EPA has promulgated National Ambient Air Quality Standards (“NAAQS”) for six “criteria” pollutants
including for particulate matter. The Clean Air Act requires that the EPA review and possibly revise these NAAQS every five years. On January 6, 2023,
the EPA announced a proposed decision to revise primary (health-based) annual particulate matter (PM2.5) standard from its current level of 12.0
µg/m3 to within the range of 9.0 to 10.0 µg/m3. The EPA proposed to make no changes to the current secondary (welfare-based) annual PM2.5 standard,
primary and secondary 24-hour PM2.5 standards, and primary and secondary PM10 standards. If implemented this proposed standard, as well as any
future NAAQS revisions to other criteria pollutants, could lead to additional pollution control requirements on the industry, including on Toyota’s
manufacturing operations.
European Standards
In the EU, the Ambient Air Quality and Clearer Air for Europe Directive (Directive 2008/50/EC) sets the environmental standards for air quality.
In relation to this, environmental regulations, such as the National Emissions Ceilings Directive, or NEC Directive (2016/2284/EU), the Industrial
Emissions Directive, or IED Directive (2010/75/EU), and Directive 2007/46/EC, which is intended to control on-road emission sources, have been
established, and emissions are managed under these directives based on their source.

Toyota strives to ensure that its operations are in compliance with environmental regulatory requirements concerning its facilities and products in
each of the markets in which it operates. Toyota continuously monitors these requirements and takes necessary operational measures in an effort to
ensure that it remains in material compliance with all of these requirements. However, compliance with environmental regulations and standards has
increased costs and is expected to lead to higher costs in the future. Therefore, Toyota recognizes that effective environmental cost management will
become increasingly important. Moreover, innovation and leadership in the area of environmental protection are becoming increasingly important to
remain competitive in the market. As a result, Toyota has proceeded with the development and production of environmentally friendly technologies,
such as hybrid electric vehicles, PHEVs, FCEVs, BEVs and high fuel efficiency, low emission engines.
In addressing environmental issues, based on an assessment of the environmental impact of its products through their entire life cycles, from
production through sales, disposal and recycling, Toyota, as a manufacturer, strives to take all possible measures from development stage and continues
to work towards technological innovations to make efficient use of resources and to reduce the burden on the environment.
Governance
Toyota has inherited the spirit of “Toyoda Principles” since our foundation, and has aimed to create a prosperous society through our business
activities, based on “the Guiding Principles at Toyota.” In 2020, based on these Principles, we compiled the “Toyota Philosophy” and set the mission of
“Producing Happiness for All.” We aim to be the “best company in town” that is both loved and trusted by people. We aim to contribute to the
sustainable development of our society and planet through such “Toyota Philosophy.”
In order to grasp changes in the external environment and societal demands, and to prioritize issues of greater importance and urgency, we
continuously strive to promote and improve environmental, social, and governance sustainability activities while working closely with the relevant
groups under the promotion system illustrated below and under the supervision and decision-making of the Board of Directors.
Furthermore, we have appointed a Chief Sustainability Officer (“CSO”) to lead the engagement with external stakeholders and dissemination of

Risk Management
Toyota will strengthen risk management in response to uncertainties amid our constantly needing to rise to new challenges in the era of major
changes in the circumstances surrounding, and in the values of, the automobile industry, such as carbon neutrality, CASE and other factors.
In order for each region, function, and in-house company to cooperate and support each other and prevent, mitigate, and reduce risks arising in
business activities from a global perspective, Toyota has appointed a Chief Risk Officer (“CRO”) and Deputy CRO (“DCRO”) in charge of risk
management, as well as regional CROs to serve as the head of risk management in each region. Furthermore, Toyota has established the below
promotion system, and the CRO/DCRO takes up each important risk that requires a prompt response at meetings of the Board of Directors and other
management meetings, where they are discussed.

In addition, as a risk management system framework, we estimate, identify, and evaluate risks based on the Toyota Global Risk Management
Standard (“TGRS”), a company-wide risk management framework based on ISO (International Organization for Standardization and COSO (Committee
for Sponsoring organizations of the Treadway Commission).
In the midst of a once-in-a-century transformation taking place in the automobile industry, the Toyota group has set out the theme of inheritance
and evolution and is doing its utmost to realize its transformation into a mobility company for the future in addition to carrying on what makes us Toyota
— “let’s make ever-better cars,” “let’s aim to be best-in-town, rather than being the best in the world” and “let’s work for the sake of others.”
Amid the era in which it is hard to predict the future, each and every one of us at Toyota, our 370,000 colleagues around the world, must share the
same thoughts, working together organically as a team at the same time in order to uphold our founding spirit and what makes us Toyota, as symbolized
by the Toyoda Principles, and to carve out the future of automobiles using the Toyota Philosophy as a guideline, and to that end, we need to develop
human resources.
Looking at the global Toyota group as a whole, in addition to instilling the philosophy in all regions around the world, through various
opportunities such as training for global executive candidates, the head office and regional entities are working together to strengthen a common
foundation for human resource development based on Toyota’s “philosophy, skills, and behavior (such as Toyota Philosophy and TPS).” In addition, for
regional entities, we are promoting the establishment of a system that flexibly promotes the formulation and execution of human resource strategies
rooted in the region in response to the characteristics of the region and the diverse needs of customers.

We have also been engaged in ongoing dialogue between labor and management regarding investment in human resources, including human
resources development. In March 2023, under the shared value of “the company wishes for the happiness of its employees and employees wish for the
development of the Company,” we held discussions between labor and management on various measures for the future based on the common
recognition that “people” are our greatest asset. We have also confirmed specific initiatives to lead to speedy change.
In an era where our circumstances change rapidly is fast and the future is uncertain, various challenges need to be undertaken in order to realize
reforms for the future. On the other hand, in order to continue taking on challenges, there are many issues that need to be overcome and resolved. Toyota
has organized the tasks that should be addressed as follows.
In the aim to address these tasks and to become a company where “anyone can take on challenges at any time, as many times as you wish, without
fear of failure,” we are undertaking various measures centered around the three pillars of “Diversity,” “Growth,” and “Contribution.”
In addition, Toyota has endorsed and signed on to the recommendations of the Financial Stability Board’s Task Force on Climate-related Financial
Disclosures (“TCFD”) in April 2019. Toyota has prepared the discussion below, which relates to Toyota’s climate change-related risks and opportunities,
in light of such recommendations. Certain emissions reduction targets referenced below have been set by Toyota with reference to and in line with
criteria established by the Science Based Targets Initiative (“SBTi”); however, such targets are not set forth in this annual report based upon the
authority of or in reliance upon SBTi as experts with respect to such targets.
Governance
(a) The Board’s Oversight of Climate-related Risks and Opportunities
Toyota addresses climate-related issues at the Board of Directors’ meetings to ensure effective strategy formulation and implementation in line
with the latest societal developments. The Board deliberates and oversees related strategy, major action plans, and business plans, and important climate-
related matters are included in the Board’s agenda.
The Board of Directors monitors progress toward qualitative and quantitative targets for addressing climate issues. As part of such monitoring, the
Board considers climate-related issues, including risks and opportunities

related to products, such as fuel efficiency and emission regulations, as well as risks and opportunities related to low-carbon technology development. It
also considers the financial impact of such factors.
These governance mechanisms are used to formulate long-term strategy, including the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050, and in formulating
and revising medium- to long-term targets and action plans.
Examples of decisions made by the Board of Directors in 2022 include the following.
• Identifying carbon neutrality (“CN”) as an important issue in relation to climate change, we submitted to the Board of Directors, and the
Board approved, the development of a transition plan towards achieving CN by 2050.
• In addition, in order to meet the growing demand for BEVs, the Board of Directors approved Toyota investing in increasing its automotive
battery production capacity by up to 40 GWh in Japan and the United States.
(b) Management’s Role in Assessing and Managing Climate-related Risks and Opportunities
The Board of Directors is Toyota’s ultimate decision-making and oversight body for addressing climate-related issues. The below are the principal
bodies for assessing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities.
Strategy
(a) Climate-related Risks and Opportunities the Organization Has Identified over the Short, Medium, and Long Term
Toyota strives to identify the various risks and opportunities that will arise from environmental issues, takes action while continuously confirming
the validity of strategies, such as the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050, and works to enhance its competitiveness.

In particular, climate change requires measures in a variety of areas, including the adoption of new technology and responding to stricter
government regulations. Climate change is expected to result in higher temperatures, rising sea levels, and increases in the severity of natural disasters
such as storms and flooding. These impacts may pose risks to Toyota’s business. However, we believe that responding appropriately to the impacts of
climate change can lead to enhanced competitiveness and the acquisition of new business opportunities. In accordance with this understanding, we have
categorized the risks relating to climate change and identified particularly significant risks in line with risk management processes based on the degree
of impact and stakeholder interest.

for Toyota. Based on risk and opportunity analysis, using such scenarios*1 such as those of the International Energy Agency (“IEA” *2), we envisioned
two future storylines of society and the external environment in around 2030: the “stated policies future storyline” and the “1.5°C or less future
storyline.”
*1 Set using scenarios such as the IPCC’s*3 Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 4.5 equivalent, IEA’s Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS),
Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS), and Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE).
*2 International Energy Agency
*3 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
On the other hand, if adequate climate change measures are not implemented throughout society, as described in the “stated policies future
storyline,” we believe production suspensions due to the increased frequency and severity of natural disasters, such as flooding, as well as production
decreases and suspensions due to supply chain disruptions are likely to increase.
*1 ZEV: Zero emission vehicles. Vehicles that have the potential to emit no CO2 or NOx during driving, such as BEVs and FCEVs.
Toyota currently conducts sales in over approximately 200 countries and regions, among which economic conditions, energy and industrial
policies, and customer needs vary significantly. Therefore, it is important to have a strategy that offers a variety of electrified vehicle options to
optimally meet the diverse needs of each country and region.
Based on this electrified vehicle strategy, Toyota has sold a cumulative total of over 22.5 million Toyota and Lexus-branded electrified vehicles
worldwide (as of February 2023), and is one of the first companies to respond to climate change risks.
With regard to BEVs, we successively introduced models with dedicated platforms and will promote practical vehicle supply through battery
development and production strategies.
We will aim to newly introduce 10 models of BEVs by 2026, and set the pace of selling 1.5 million annual Toyota and Lexus-brand BEV units by
2026 as our base volume to reach a target of 3.5 million Toyota and Lexus-brand BEVs sold globally each year by 2030.

Table of Contents
In addition to BEVs, we are promoting electrification from all directions. We will flexibly and strategically adapt total vehicle sales and other
conditions in response to changes in the market while leveraging the strengths that we have gained through experience. We believe that this will
encourage customers in each region to choose us and accelerate the increased use of electrified vehicles.
Even if battery demand increases in accordance with shifts in customer needs, as in the “1.5°C or less future storyline,” we will flexibly work
toward carbon neutrality by such means as enhancing collaboration with existing and new partners and swiftly establishing production structures at
suppliers that have capital ties with Toyota.
In addition to increasing the number of electrified vehicles, Toyota is working on CO2-reducing off-cycle technology*4 (items not necessarily
reflected in driving mode fuel efficiency). There is a variety of technologies that contribute to reducing the CO2 emissions of vehicles, including carbon
neutral fuels that are fit for vehicles currently in use, and hydrogen fuel and HEVs will also contribute to reducing the CO2 emissions of vehicles. We are
therefore working to expand options for such technologies.
*4 Off-cycle technology: Technologies such as high efficiency lighting, waste heat recovery, active aerodynamic improvement, and solar
radiation/temperature management that improve actual fuel consumption. The United States has a system of offering credits in proportion to the amount
of improvement achieved.
In its global business activities, Toyota will coordinate with national governments to establish infrastructure for promoting electrification while
implementing electrified vehicle strategies that contribute to reducing CO2 emissions throughout the entire vehicle life cycle.
Working together with not only the automobile industry but all industries, Toyota will implement initiatives that are both practical and sustainable,
continuously striving to ensure compatibility with the society of the “1.5°C or less future storyline.”
To demonstrate progress and validate Toyota’s strategies, we plan to appropriately disclose information regarding various ESG assessment
indicators and enhance dialogue with stakeholders, including institutional investors. We believe that this will enable stable fund procurement and
sustained corporate value enhancement.

Risk Management
(a) The Organization’s Processes for Identifying and Assessing Climate-related Risks
Toyota has a company-wide risk management system that covers all risks related to its global business activities. This system is called the TGRS.
All risks, including climate change, are identified, assessed and managed based on the TGRS.
Risk assessment is carried out based on the two perspectives of magnitude of impact and vulnerabilities to clarify the substantive financial or
strategic impact on Toyota’s business.
The magnitude of impact is assessed on a five-point scale based on the respective elements of finance, reputation, violation of laws and
regulations, and business continuity (financial impact is indexed as a ratio to sales).
Vulnerabilities are assessed based on the two elements of current status of countermeasures and probability of occurrence.
Once risks by region, function (such as manufacturing and sales), and product are identified by each division and assessed from the perspectives
of magnitude of impact and vulnerability, each region and each group mutually cooperates and supports one another to implement a prompt response.
The group chief officers and in-house company presidents supervise the activities of the in-house companies and, at the subordinate level, the general
managers supervise the activities of divisions and implement and monitor countermeasures.
Furthermore, climate-related risks and opportunities are identified and assessed by the Environmental Product Design Assessment Committee,
Production Environment Committee and Sustainability Subcommittee and then deliberated by the relevant divisions and officers. The Environmental
Product Design Assessment Committee monitors the status of efforts to deal with such issues as fuel economy regulations and procurement, while the
Production Environment Committee does the same for such issues affecting direct operations, including CO2 emission regulations on plants and water
risk, and the Sustainability Subcommittee also does the same for the appropriateness of the initiatives in consideration of issues related to the promotion
of sustainability as well as external stakeholders.
These bodies convene when an important event arises with the participation of executive- or general manager-level members of relevant divisions,
such as technology, environment, finance, purchasing, and sales. These meetings assess risks multiple times a year. Important risks and opportunities
that require prompt response are reported as needed to the Board of Directors, where response measures are determined.
(c) How Processes for Identifying, Assessing, and Managing Climate-related Risks are Integrated into the Organization’s Overall Risk
Management
As described above, the processes using the TGRS constitute a company-wide risk management system that covers all risks and opportunities
related to global business activities, including climate change.
At the meetings of the Environmental Product Design Assessment Committee, Production Environment Committee and Sustainability
Subcommittee, which bring together members from relevant divisions, climate-related risks and opportunities are identified and assessed, and
countermeasures are examined.

3/9/25, 2:10 PM Annual Report
Table of Contents
Toyota recognizes that setting multiple metrics to manage climate-related risks and opportunities comprehensively is an important measure for
adapting to and mitigating climate change. As such, Toyota’s metrics include not only the amount of GHG emissions but also other elements related to
climate change, such as energy, water, resource recycling, and biodiversity.
Taking these metrics into consideration, Toyota has set the following targets and is systematically promoting them through initiatives in six areas
called the “six challenges.”
• Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050: A long-term target toward 2050
• 2030 Milestone: A medium-term target (set by Toyota consistent with criteria of SBTi)
• Seventh Toyota Environmental Action Plan: A short-term target toward 2025
Among the “six challenges,” in an aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, Toyota will attempt to achieve Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon neutrality by
2050 by promoting the following “challenges.”
*1 Per vehicle, gCO2e/km, Well to Wheel: Includes GHG emissions from the production of fuel and electricity, as well as GHG emissions during vehicle
operation.
*2 Production sites of Toyota Motor Corporation brands other than those of financially consolidated subsidiaries
Furthermore, Toyota announced in 2021 that it will aim to achieve carbon neutrality at plants by 2035. Internally, certain carbon prices are used as
indicators to examine capital investment and other activities.
(b) Targets Used by the Organization to Manage Climate-related Risks and Opportunities and Performance Against Targets
We formulated the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050 in 2015 and the 2030 Milestone in 2018 so that each one of us can understand better
these issues and continue to tackle challenges from a long-term perspective, looking toward the world 20 and 30 years in the future. In 2020, we set the
2025 Target as the most recent target of the Toyota Environmental Action Plan, a five-year plan for achieving the above targets.
In September 2022, we confirmed that our reduction targets for in Scope 1, 2 and Scope 3 Category 11 were in line with SBTi criteria, and
updated our medium-term targets accordingly.

In April 2023, we announced that we aim to reduce the average GHG emissions of vehicles sold worldwide by 33% or greater by 2030 and 50%
or greater by 2035 (compared to 2019 levels).
Through a process of back casting from Toyota’s medium- and long-term vision, we determine specific activities that we implement in
collaboration with our global consolidated subsidiaries and business partners with the aim of realizing a sustainable world.

realize timely and efficient distribution while minimizing costs, Toyota is promoting efforts to optimize each stage of the supply chain. To this end,
Toyota has developed a standardized system of global distribution and is supporting the operation of the system at each production base. The use of the
global distribution system aims at implementing parts procurement that meets changes in vehicle production in a timely manner. These varying efforts,
combined together, have led to maximized customer satisfaction, as well as to building a good working relationship with Toyota’s suppliers.
Toyota aims to share information and collaborate among the procurement divisions in each of the regions throughout the world in order to procure
parts and materials from the most competitive suppliers among Toyota factories located in various areas worldwide. At the same time, Toyota carries out
streamlining efforts together with suppliers in each country in order to achieve sustainable growth. Toyota has been working on cost reduction measures,
referred to as RR-CI (ryohin-renka, or cost innovation) and VA (value analysis) activities, which aims to eliminate waste in all processes from design to
production while ensuring the reliability and safety of each part. Through these activities, Toyota focuses on “developing a real cost-competitive
structure” by working together with suppliers.
In response to a significant upward trend in materials costs, including related logistics and other costs, since fiscal 2022, Toyota is accelerating
initiatives such as the replacement of raw materials with those that are less subject to price pressure and reduction of raw material usage.
Intellectual Property
Through its ongoing challenge to be one step ahead in conducting new research and development, Toyota has enhanced its product appeal and
technological prowess, which have been serving as the source of the company’s competitiveness. At the core of Toyota’s products created through this
research and development always lies intellectual property, including invention, know-how and brands. This intellectual property functions as Toyota’s
important management resources. By protecting and utilizing our intellectual property in an appropriate manner, we will continue to contribute to
society.
Toward the realization of a future mobility society, Toyota is carrying out intellectual property activities in line with management priorities.
For example, we are focusing resources on such areas as carbon neutrality, including the development of electrified vehicles and batteries, and on
software and connected initiatives, including connected and automated driving technologies. We are also reinforcing efforts to obtain and utilize
intellectual property licenses in such areas to strengthen our future competitiveness.
As for the intellectual property activities framework, having established intellectual property functions at the R&D centers in Japan, the United
States, Europe and China, Toyota supports technology development globally by securing organic, systematic coordination between R&D activities and
intellectual property activities. Working in concert with approximately 110 law firms around the world, we also collect intellectual property information
and take measures suitable for any intellectual property disputes that may arise in specific countries or regions. To enhance activities that incorporate
management, R&D and intellectual property in one, Toyota has an Intellectual Property Management Committee. The members of the Committee
discuss and make decisions concerning obtaining and utilizing important intellectual property conducive to management and for responding to
management risks related to intellectual property.
In 2022, Toyota filed approximately 14,000 patent applications domestically and internationally. In Japan, Toyota believes it was one of the
leading companies that year in terms of the number of both patent applications and patent registrations. In the United States, Toyota believes it was one
of the leading automobile manufacturers that year in terms of the number of patent registrations.

Toyota does not collect information on the amount of expenditures already paid for each plant under construction because Toyota believes that it is
difficult and it would require unreasonable effort or expense to identify and categorize each expenditure item with reasonable accuracy as past and future
expenditures. Toyota’s construction projects consist of numerous expenditures, each of which is continually being adjusted and incurred in variable and
constantly changing amounts as part of the overall work-in-progress.
Seasonality
Toyota does not consider its seasonality material in the sense of significantly higher sales during any certain period of the year as compared to
other periods of the year.
Legal Proceedings
Toyota and other automakers were named in certain class actions filed in Mexico, Australia, Israel and Brazil relating to Takata airbag issues. The
actions in Israel and Brazil are being litigated. The actions in Mexico and Australia have been resolved.
Toyota is named as a defendant in an economic loss class action lawsuit in Australia in which damages are claimed on the basis that diesel
particulate filters in certain vehicle models are defective. On April 7, 2022 and March 27, 2023, Toyota received unfavorable judgments in the court of
first instance and the Federal Court of Australia, respectively. The judgments included a finding that there was a perceived reduction in vehicle value of
certain vehicle models. Toyota disagrees with the appeal court judgment and has filed a final appeal. Other claims of economic loss in this class action
lawsuit continue to be litigated at the court of first instance. In calculating the provision we should record in the consolidated financial statements as a
result of the aforementioned judgments, Toyota has considered various factors including the legal and factual circumstances of the case, the contents of
the judgement of the court of first instance and the Federal Court of Australia, and the views of legal counsel. The currently estimated probable
economic outflow related to the class action is immaterial to Toyota’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. At this stage,
however, the final outcome and therefore ultimate financial liability for Toyota on account of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty.

In April 2020, Toyota reported possible anti-bribery violations related to a Thai subsidiary to the SEC and the DOJ, and is cooperating with their
investigations. Investigations by governmental authorities related to these matters could result in the imposition of civil or criminal penalties, fines or
other sanctions, or litigation. Toyota cannot predict the scope, duration or outcome of these matters at this time.
On March 4, 2022, Hino Motors, Ltd., a publicly traded Japanese company that produces and sells commercial trucks and buses, and of which
Toyota owns 50.19% of the voting interests as of March 31, 2023, disclosed that it had voluntarily commenced an investigation into potential issues
regarding emissions performance and certification in the North American and Japanese markets, and that it has reported such issues to and is
cooperating with the relevant authorities. Hino announced that, through such investigation, it identified past misconduct in relation to its applications for
certification concerning the emissions and the fuel economy performance of certain of its engines for the Japanese market. In Japan, Hino was subject to
an on-site inspection from MLIT, and received a corrective action order from it. On October 7, 2022, Hino submitted a recurrence prevention report to
MLIT. MLIT has also revoked certain of the “type approvals” (that is, approvals that exempt new vehicles or vehicles with certain equipment from
individual testing by government inspectors prior to sale) and the fuel consumption ratings relating to certain engine models. Hino has also further
agreed to compensate certain of its customers in Japan for certain additional motor vehicle taxes that have become payable on account of the
misconduct, as well as in connection with vehicles with engines with respect to which there were fuel efficiency problems. With respect to the United
States, the U.S. Department of Justice and other U.S. agencies are conducting an investigation with respect to potential violations of relevant laws and
regulations regarding the certification of Hino’s model year 2010 to model year 2019 engines for the U.S. market. In this regard, a lawsuit naming Hino
and its subsidiaries as defendants in a putative class action lawsuit has been filed at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida claiming
damages related to Hino’s vehicles sold in the U.S. from 2004 to 2021. Both the investigation and the legal proceedings are ongoing. In addition, a
lawsuit against Hino and its subsidiaries as defendants in a representative action lawsuit has also been filed in Australia as a class action lawsuit. In the
lawsuit, the plaintiffs claim that they have suffered loss and damage resulting from alleged misleading or deceptive conduct in relation to
non-compliance of the affected vehicles with emissions standards and fuel efficiency standards. It is possible that other similar lawsuits may be filed in
the future. Further, Hino is continuing to conduct a comprehensive review related to engine certification procedures under European and other
jurisdictions’ standards in addition to U.S. standards. Investigations by governmental authorities, as well as civil litigation, related to these matters could
result in the imposition of civil or criminal penalties, fines or other sanctions, damages awards, or other consequences. Toyota cannot predict the scope,
duration, or outcome of these matters at this time. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — 4.B Business Overview — Selected Initiatives” for
further discussion of these and related matters.
Toyota also has various other pending legal actions and claims, including without limitation personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits and
claims in the United States, as well as intellectual property litigation, and is subject to government investigations from time to time.
Beyond the amounts accrued with respect to all aforementioned matters, Toyota is unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss, if any,
for the pending legal matters because (i) many of the proceedings are in evidence gathering stages, (ii) significant factual issues need to be resolved,
(iii) the legal theory or nature of the claims is unclear, (iv) the outcome of future motions or appeals is unknown and/or (v) the outcomes of other matters
of these types vary widely and do not appear sufficiently similar to offer meaningful guidance. Therefore, for all of the aforementioned matters, which
Toyota is in discussions to resolve, any losses that are beyond the amounts accrued could have an adverse effect on Toyota’s financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

production measures such as revising takt time and adjusting days of operation. As a result, Toyota believes it would require unreasonable effort to track
the exact productive capacity and the extent of utilization of each of its manufacturing facilities with a reasonable degree of accuracy.
As of March 31, 2023, property, plant and equipment having a net book value of approximately ¥1,498.4 billion was pledged as collateral securing
indebtedness incurred by Toyota Motor Corporation’s consolidated subsidiaries. Toyota believes that there does not exist any material environmental
issues that may affect the company’s utilization of its assets.
Toyota considers all its principal manufacturing facilities and other significant properties to be in good condition and adequate to meet the needs
of its operations.
See “Item 4. Information on the Company — 4.B Business Overview — Capital Expenditures and Divestitures” for a description of Toyota’s
material plans to construct, expand or improve facilities.
Overview
The business segments of Toyota include automotive operations, financial services operations and all other operations. Automotive operations are
Toyota’s most significant business segment, accounting for 89% of Toyota’s total revenues before the elimination of intersegment revenues for fiscal
2023. Toyota’s primary markets based on vehicle unit sales for fiscal 2023 were: Japan (23.5%), North America (27.3%), Europe (11.7%) and Asia
(19.8%).
During fiscal 2023, the global economy experienced an accelerated rise in consumer prices in both developed and emerging countries as energy
and other prices soared against a backdrop of geopolitical tensions. From August onward, there were signs of a decline in demand due to concerns of a
slowdown in the global economy as central banks in various countries accelerated the pace of monetary tightening.

During fiscal 2022, Toyota’s consolidated vehicle unit sales in Japan decreased due to tightening of supply of, and increasing demand for,
semiconductors and the spread of COVID-19. During fiscal 2023, Toyota’s consolidated vehicle unit sales in Japan increased due to gradual lessening of
the impact of COVID-19. During both fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2023, overseas vehicle unit sales increased due to strong market conditions as compared to
the prior year.
Toyota’s share of total vehicle unit sales in each market is influenced by the quality, safety, reliability, price, design, performance, economy and
utility of Toyota’s vehicles compared with those offered by other manufacturers. The timely introduction of new or redesigned vehicles is also an
important factor in satisfying customer needs. Toyota’s ability to satisfy changing customer preferences can affect its revenues and earnings
significantly.
The profitability of Toyota’s automotive operations is affected by many factors. These factors include:
• vehicle unit sales volumes,
• the mix of vehicle models and options sold,
• the level of parts and service sales,
• the levels of price discounts and other sales incentives and marketing costs,
• 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 such factors as the reliance on various suppliers for the provision of supplies, or the general scarcity
of certain supplies,
• climate change risk, including both physical risks as well as transition risks,
• the adverse effect on market, sales and productions of natural calamities as well as the outbreak and spread of epidemics and interruptions of
social infrastructure, and
• changes in the value of the Japanese yen and other currencies in which Toyota conducts business.

Changes in laws, regulations, policies and other governmental actions can also materially impact the profitability of Toyota’s automotive
operations. These laws, regulations and policies include those attributed to environmental matters, vehicle safety, fuel economy and emissions that can
add significantly to the cost of vehicles.
Many governments also impose local content requirements, impose tariffs and other trade barriers, and enact price or exchange controls that can
limit an automaker’s operations and can make the repatriation of profits unpredictable. Changes in these laws, regulations, policies and other
governmental actions may affect the production, licensing, distribution or sale of Toyota’s products, cost of products or applicable tax rates. From
time-to-time when potential safety problems arise, Toyota issues vehicle recalls and takes other safety measures including safety campaigns relating to
its vehicles. The recalls and other safety measures described above have led to a number of claims and legal proceedings against Toyota. For a more
detailed description of these claims and legal proceedings, see “Item 4. Information on the Company — 4B. Business Overview — Legal Proceedings”
and notes 24 and 30 to the consolidated financial statements.
The worldwide automotive industry is in a period of global competition which may continue for the foreseeable future, and in general the
competitive environment in which Toyota operates is likely to intensify. Toyota believes it has the resources, strategies and technologies in place to
compete effectively in the industry as an independent company for the foreseeable future.
Toyota’s financial services operations mainly include loans and leasing programs for customers and dealers. Toyota believes that its ability to
provide financing to its customers is an important value added service. Therefore, Toyota has expanded its network of finance subsidiaries in order to
offer financial services in many countries.
Toyota’s competitors for retail financing and retail leasing include commercial banks, credit unions and other finance companies. Meanwhile,
commercial banks and other captive automobile finance companies also compete against Toyota’s wholesale financing activities.
Toyota’s total receivables related to financial services increased during fiscal 2023 mainly due to an increase in retail receivables. Also, vehicles
and equipment on operating leases decreased during fiscal 2023 mainly due to a decrease in the number of operating leases in financial services
subsidiaries in North America.
For details on receivables related to financial services and vehicles and equipment on operating leases, see notes 8 and 12 to the consolidated
financial statements.
Toyota’s receivables related to financial services 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 notes 4 and 19 to the consolidated financial
statements for additional information.
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 note 3 to the
consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Toyota enters into 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 Toyota’s consolidated statements of financial position and accordingly, unrealized gains or losses
related to derivatives that are not designated as a hedge are recognized currently in operations. See the discussion in “Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures about Market Risk” and notes 20 and 21 to the consolidated financial statements.
The fluctuations in funding costs can affect the profitability of Toyota’s financial services operations. Funding costs are affected by a number of
factors, some of which are not in Toyota’s control. These factors include general economic conditions, prevailing interest rates and Toyota’s financial
strength. Funding costs decreased during fiscal 2022 mainly as a result of lower interest rates. Funding costs increased during fiscal 2023 mainly as a
result of higher interest rates.
Toyota launched its credit card business in Japan in April 2001. As of March 31, 2022, Toyota had 15.7 million cardholders, a decrease of
0.7 million cardholders compared with March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2023, Toyota had 16.1 million cardholders, an increase of 0.4 million
cardholders compared with March 31, 2022. Credit card receivables as of March 31, 2022 increased by ¥17.3 billion from March 31, 2021 to
¥501.4 billion, and that as of March 31, 2023 increased by ¥53.4 billion from March 31, 2022 to ¥554.8 billion.
Toyota does not expect its other business operations to materially contribute to Toyota’s consolidated results of operations.
Currency Fluctuations
Toyota is affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Toyota is exposed to fluctuations in the value of the Japanese yen against the
U.S. dollar and the euro as well as the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, the British pound and others. Toyota’s consolidated financial statements,
which are presented in Japanese yen, are affected by foreign currency exchange fluctuations through both translation risk and transaction risk.
Translation risk is the risk that Toyota’s consolidated financial statements for a particular period or for a particular date will be affected by changes
in the prevailing exchange rates of the currencies in those countries in which Toyota does business compared with the Japanese yen. Even though the
fluctuations of currency exchange rates to the Japanese yen can be substantial, and therefore significantly impact comparisons with prior periods and
among the various geographic markets, the translation risk is a reporting consideration and does not reflect Toyota’s underlying results of operations.
Toyota does not hedge against translation risk.
Transaction risk is the risk that the currency structure of Toyota’s costs and liabilities will deviate from the currency structure of sales proceeds
and assets. Transaction risk relates primarily to sales proceeds from Toyota’s 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 risk. As
part of its globalization strategy, Toyota has continued to localize production by constructing production facilities in the major markets in which it sells
its vehicles. In fiscal 2022 and 2023, Toyota produced 71.6% and 77.3%, respectively, of its non-domestic sales outside Japan. In North America, 68.5%
and 76.8% of vehicles sold in fiscal 2022 and 2023, respectively, were produced locally. In Europe, 69.1% and 73.9% of vehicles sold in fiscal 2022 and
2023, respectively, were produced locally. In Asia, 90.6% and 98.3% of vehicles sold in fiscal 2022 and 2023, respectively, were produced locally.
Localizing production enables Toyota to locally purchase many of the supplies and resources used in the production process, which allows for a better
match of local currency revenues with local currency expenses.

Toyota also enters into foreign currency transactions and other hedging instruments to address a portion of its transaction risk. This has reduced,
but not eliminated, the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which in some years can be significant. See notes 20 and 21 to the
consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Generally, a weakening of the Japanese yen against other currencies has a positive effect on Toyota’s revenues, operating income and net income
attributable to Toyota Motor Corporation. A strengthening of the Japanese yen against other currencies has the opposite effect. In fiscal 2022 and 2023,
the Japanese yen was on average weaker against the U.S. dollar and the euro in comparison to fiscal 2021 and 2022, respectively. At the end of each of
fiscal 2022 and 2023, the Japanese yen was weaker against the U.S. dollar and the euro in comparison to the end of fiscal 2021 and 2022, respectively.
See note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Segmentation
Toyota’s 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 to, and assesses the performance of, its automotive operations as a single business
segment on a worldwide basis and assesses financial and non-financial data such as vehicle unit sales, production volume, market share information,
vehicle model plans and plant location costs to allocate resources within the automotive operations. Toyota does not manage any subset of its automotive
operations, such as domestic or overseas operations or parts, as separate management units.

Toyota’s sales revenues include sales revenues from sales of products, consisting of sales revenues from automotive operations and all other
operations, which increased by 18.2% during fiscal 2023 compared with the prior fiscal year to ¥34,367.6 billion, and sales revenues from financial
services operations, which increased by 20.8% during fiscal 2023 compared with the prior fiscal year to ¥2,786.6 billion. The increase in sales revenues
from sales of products is mainly due to an increase in Toyota vehicle unit sales of 591 thousand vehicles and the favorable impact of changes in
exchange rates compared with the prior fiscal year.
The following table shows the number of financing contracts by geographic region at the end of fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Geographically, sales revenues (before the elimination of intersegment revenues) for fiscal 2023 increased by 10.0% in Japan, 24.0% in North
America, 10.5% in Europe, 23.2% in Asia, and 18.6% in Other compared with the prior fiscal year. Excluding the impact of changes in exchange rates
of ¥3,580.0 billion, sales revenues in fiscal 2023 would have increased by 10.0% in Japan, 3.2% in North America, 2.8% in Europe, 7.9% in Asia, and
12.7% in Other compared with the prior fiscal year.

operating costs and expenses attributable to the impact of soaring materials prices. Through continued cost reduction efforts together with suppliers,
however, that increase was partially offset by a ¥205.0 billion reduction principally attributable to value engineering activities and other cost reduction
efforts concerning design-related costs, and a ¥50.0 billion reduction attributable to cost reduction efforts principally at plants and logistics departments.
The cost reduction efforts described above 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. The impact of soaring materials prices
includes the impact of fluctuation in the price of steel, precious metals, non-ferrous alloys including aluminum, plastic parts and other production

was due mainly to an increase during fiscal 2023 in interest income.
Other finance costs increased by ¥81.1 billion, or 184.4%, to ¥125.1 billion during fiscal 2023 compared with the prior fiscal year. This increase
was due mainly to an increase during fiscal 2023 in losses on securities revaluation.
Foreign exchange gain (loss), net decreased by ¥91.6 billion to ¥124.5 billion during fiscal 2023 compared with the prior fiscal year. Foreign
exchange gains and losses include the differences between the value of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities recognized through

those settled using forward foreign currency exchange contracts, or the value translated by appropriate year-end exchange rates. The ¥91.6 billion
decrease in foreign exchange gain (loss), net was due mainly to the losses recorded in fiscal 2023 resulting from the functional currency of overseas
subsidiaries being weaker against foreign currencies at the dates of settlement of the foreign currency trade accounts payable than at the dates of the
transactions.
Other income (loss), net decreased by ¥5.6 billion, to ¥78.1 billion in losses during fiscal 2023 compared with the prior fiscal year.

Operating income from the automotive operations decreased by ¥103.6 billion, or 4.5%, to ¥2,180.6 billion during fiscal 2023 compared with the
prior fiscal year. This decrease in operating income was due mainly to the ¥1,290.0 billion aggregate unfavorable impact of factors categorized as cost
reduction efforts (including fluctuations in raw materials prices) and the ¥525.0 billion aggregate unfavorable impact of changes in expenses and
expense reduction efforts, partially offset by the ¥1,220.0 billion favorable impact of changes in exchange rates and the ¥755.0 billion impact of
marketing efforts.
Operating income from financial services operations decreased by ¥219.4 billion, or 33.4%, to ¥437.5 billion during fiscal 2023 compared with

Toyota’s operating income increased by ¥797.9 billion, or 36.3%, to ¥2,995.6 billion during fiscal 2022 compared with the prior fiscal year. This
increase was due to the ¥860.0 billion impact of marketing efforts and the ¥610.0 billion favorable impact of changes in exchange rates, partially offset
by, among other factors, the ¥360.0 billion aggregate unfavorable impact of factors categorized as cost reduction efforts (including fluctuations in raw
materials prices) and the ¥220.0 billion aggregate unfavorable impact of changes in expenses and expense reduction efforts.
Marketing efforts includes changes in vehicle unit sales and sales mix, sales expenses and other. “Other” includes valuation gains or losses from
interest rate swaps and interest rate currency swaps.
The favorable impact of changes in exchange rates was due mainly to the ¥590.0 billion impact of overseas transactions such as imports and
exports denominated in foreign currencies.

Other finance income decreased by ¥100.4 billion, or 23.1%, to ¥334.7 billion during fiscal 2022 compared with the prior fiscal year. This
decrease was due mainly to a decrease during fiscal 2022 in profit on sales of securities.
Other finance costs decreased by ¥3.5 billion, or 7.4%, to ¥43.9 billion during fiscal 2022 compared with the prior fiscal year.
Foreign exchange gain (loss), net increased by ¥201.0 billion to ¥216.1 billion during fiscal 2022 compared with the prior fiscal year. Foreign
exchange gains and losses include the differences between the value of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities recognized through
transactions in foreign currencies translated at prevailing exchange rates and the value at the date the transaction settled during the fiscal year, including
those settled using forward foreign currency exchange contracts, or the value translated by appropriate year-end exchange rates. The ¥201.0 billion
increase in foreign exchange gain (loss), net was due mainly to the gains recorded in fiscal 2022 resulting from the Japanese yen being weaker against
foreign currencies at the maturity dates of the foreign currency deposit than at the dates of the deposit.
Other income (loss), net decreased by ¥53.2 billion, to ¥72.4 billion in losses during fiscal 2022 compared with the prior fiscal year.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes increased by ¥465.9 billion, or 71.7%, to ¥1,115.9 billion during fiscal 2022 compared with the prior fiscal year.
This increase was due mainly to the increase in income before income taxes and reversals of deferred tax assets on account of the reassessment of their
recoverability. The average effective tax rate for fiscal 2022 was 28.0%.

Table of Contents
Operating income from financial services operations increased by ¥161.4 billion, or 32.6%, to ¥657.0 billion during fiscal 2022 compared with the
prior fiscal year. This increase was due primarily to the increases in both financing margin and financing volume.
Operating income from Toyota’s other operations segments decreased by ¥43.0 billion, or 50.4%, to ¥42.3 billion during fiscal 2022 compared
with the prior fiscal year.
Outlook
Toyota, with its full lineup and profitable HEVs and PHEVs, along with its diverse options of BEVs that it will be strengthening, will make sure to
meet a wide range of global demand and is committed to further growth. For growth in emerging markets, profitable HEVs will be used as a source of
income, and with a value chain that can support approximately 10 million units sold annually, we will also take part in a wide range of business
opportunities. In addition, we will achieve cost reductions and Kaizen by leveraging the strengths of the TPS, and thereby enhance our future investment
capacity for the expansion of growth in BEVs and mobility areas, and establish a strong business foundation whereby carbon neutrality and growth can
both be achieved. Taking the foregoing external factors and other factors into account, Toyota expects that sales revenues for fiscal 2024 will increase
compared with fiscal 2023 due mainly to the increase in vehicle unit sales, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of changes in exchange rates.
Toyota expects that operating income will increase in fiscal 2024 compared with fiscal 2023 due mainly to marketing efforts, partially offset by the
unfavorable impact of changes in exchange rates. Toyota expects that income before income taxes and net income attributable to Toyota Motor
Corporation will also increase in fiscal 2024 compared with fiscal 2023.
For the purposes of this outlook discussion, Toyota is assuming an average exchange rate of ¥125 to the U.S. dollar and ¥135 to the euro.
Exchange rate fluctuations can materially affect Toyota’s operating results. In particular, a strengthening of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar can
have a material adverse effect on Toyota’s operating results. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — 5.A Operating Results —
Overview — Currency Fluctuations” for further discussion.
The foregoing statements are forward-looking statements based upon Toyota’s management’s assumptions and beliefs regarding exchange rates,

“Cautionary Statement With Respect To Forward-Looking Statements”. Toyota’s actual results of operations could vary significantly from those
described above as a result of unanticipated changes in the factors described above or other factors, including those described in “Risk Factors”.
In fiscal 2024, Toyota expects to sufficiently fund its cash requirements, including those relating to capital expenditures as well as its research and
development activities, through cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash generated by operations, the issuance of corporate bonds, and debt financing.
Toyota will use its funds to efficiently invest in maintenance and replacement of conventional manufacturing facilities and the introduction of new
products and will focus on investment in areas contributing to strengthening competitiveness and future growth for transformation into a mobility
company. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — 4.B Business Overview — Capital Expenditures and Divestitures” for information regarding
Toyota’s material capital expenditures and divestitures for fiscal 2021, 2022 and 2023, and information concerning Toyota’s principal capital
expenditures and divestitures currently in progress.
Toyota funds its financing programs for customers and dealers, including loans and leasing programs, from both cash generated by operations, the
issuance of corporate bonds, and debt financing 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.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by ¥767.5 billion to ¥2,955.0 billion for fiscal 2023, compared with ¥3,722.6 billion for fiscal
2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to the ¥381.6 billion decrease in net income.
Net cash used in investing activities increased by ¥1,021.3 billion to ¥1,598.8 billion for fiscal 2023, compared with ¥577.4 billion for fiscal 2022.
The increase was primarily attributable to the ¥1,762.7 billion decrease in withdrawals from time deposits compared to the previous fiscal year.
Net cash used in financing activities was ¥56.1 billion for fiscal 2023, compared with net cash used in financing activities of ¥2,466.5 billion for
fiscal 2022, a ¥2,410.3 billion change. The change was primarily attributable to the ¥1,154.2 billion increase in funding by long-term debt in fiscal 2023.
For a discussion of cash flows for fiscal 2022 as compared to those for fiscal 2021, see “Item 4.B. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects
— 5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources” of Toyota’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.
Total capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, including vehicles and equipment on operating leases, were ¥3,496.2 billion during
fiscal 2023, remaining largely unchanged from the ¥3,611.5 billion in total capital expenditures during the prior fiscal year.
Toyota expects investments in property, plant and equipment, excluding vehicles and equipment on operating leases, to be approximately
¥1,860.0 billion during fiscal 2024.
Cash and cash equivalents were ¥7,516.9 billion as of March 31, 2023. Most of Toyota’s cash and cash equivalents are held in Japanese yen or in
U.S. dollars.
Liquid assets, which Toyota defines as cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, public and corporate bonds and its investment in monetary trust
funds increased during fiscal 2023, by ¥1,263.9 billion, or 9.4%, to ¥14,715.0 billion as of March 31, 2023.

increase in the impact of changes in exchange rates. Finance receivables were geographically distributed as follows: in North America 56.9%, in Asia
12.0%, in Europe 14.0%, in Japan 6.3% and in Other 10.8%.
Other financial assets increased during fiscal 2023 by ¥247.5 billion, or 2.1%.
Property, plant and equipment increased during fiscal 2023 by ¥307.3 billion, or 2.5%. This increase was due mainly to capital expenditures.
Accounts and notes payable increased during fiscal 2023 by ¥694.2 billion, or 16.2%. This increase was due mainly to an increase in accounts
payable associated with parts procurement.
Income taxes payable decreased during fiscal 2023 by ¥422.2 billion, or 51.1%. This decrease was mainly due to an increase in interim payments
of income taxes.
Toyota’s total borrowings increased during fiscal 2023 by ¥2,883.9 billion, or 10.9%. Toyota’s short-term borrowings consist of loans with a
weighted-average interest rate of 2.02% and commercial paper with a weighted-average interest rate of 3.81%. Short-term borrowings increased during
fiscal 2023 by ¥485.3 billion, or 11.8%, to ¥4,590.1 billion. Toyota’s long-term debt mainly consists of unsecured and secured loans, medium-term
notes, unsecured and secured notes with weighted-average interest rates ranging from 1.29% to 6.53%, and maturity dates ranging from 2023 to 2048.
The current portion of long-term debt increased during fiscal 2023 by ¥621.7 billion, or 8.8%, to ¥7,648.5 billion and the non-current portion increased
by ¥1,741.6 billion, or 11.7%, to ¥16,685.3 billion. The increase in total borrowings resulted mainly from the increasing demand for financing
associated with the increase in the loan balance at financial subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2023, approximately 53% of long-term debt was denominated
in U.S. dollars, 11% in Japanese yen, 13% in euros, 6% in Australian dollars, 3% in Canadian dollars, and 14% in other currencies. Toyota hedges
interest rate risk exposure of fixed-rate borrowings by entering into interest rate swaps. There are no material seasonal variations in Toyota’s borrowings
requirements.
As of March 31, 2023, Toyota’s total interest-bearing debt was 103.7% of Toyota Motor Corporation shareholders’ equity, compared with 101.0%
as of March 31, 2022.
The following table provides information on credit ratings of Toyota’s short-term borrowing and long-term debt from Standard & Poor’s Ratings
Group (S&P), Moody’s Investors Services (Moody’s), and Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I), as of May 31, 2023. 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.
Toyota’s net defined benefit liability (asset) of Japanese plans decreased during fiscal 2023 by ¥108.2 billion, or 46.6%, to ¥124.0 billion. The net
defined benefit liability (asset) of foreign plans increased

during fiscal 2023 by ¥50.8 billion, or 19.3%, to ¥313.8 billion. The amounts of net defined benefit liability (asset) 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 decrease in net defined benefit liability
(asset) of the Japanese plans reflects mainly a decrease in defined benefit obligations due to an increased discount rate. See note 23 to the consolidated
financial statements for further discussion.
Toyota’s 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 Toyota’s financial strategy is maintaining a strong financial position that will allow Toyota to fund its research and
development initiatives, capital expenditures and financial services operations efficiently even if earnings are subject to short-term fluctuations. Toyota
believes that it maintains sufficient liquidity for its present cash 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. Toyota’s ability to maintain its high credit ratings is subject to a
number of factors, some of which are not within Toyota’s control. These factors include general economic conditions in Japan and the other major
markets in which Toyota does business, as well as Toyota’s successful implementation of its business strategy.
Toyota uses its securitization program as part of its funding through special purpose entities for its financial services operations. Toyota is
considered as the primary beneficiary of these special purpose entities and therefore consolidates them. Toyota has not entered into any off-balance sheet
securitization transactions during fiscal 2023.
For information regarding the amounts of non-derivative financial liabilities and derivative financial liabilities by a remaining contract maturity
period, see note 19 to the consolidated financial statements. In addition, as part of Toyota’s normal business practices, Toyota enters into long-term
arrangements with suppliers for purchases of certain raw materials, components and services. These arrangements may contain fixed/minimum quantity
purchase requirements. Toyota enters into such arrangements to facilitate an adequate supply of these materials and services.

Toyota expects to contribute ¥38,309 million domestically and ¥16,423 million overseas to its pension plans in fiscal 2024.
Lending Commitments
Credit Facilities with Credit Card Holders
Toyota’s financial services operations issue credit cards to customers. As customary for credit card businesses, Toyota maintains credit facilities
with holders of credit cards issued by Toyota. These facilities are used upon each holder’s requests up to the limits established on an individual holder’s
basis. Although loans made to customers through these facilities are not secured, for the purposes of minimizing credit risks and of appropriately
establishing credit limits for each individual credit card holder, Toyota employs its own risk 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 ¥171.4 billion as of March 31, 2023.

See note 30 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Toyota’s research and development expenditures were approximately ¥1,241.6 billion in fiscal 2023, ¥1,124.2 billion in fiscal 2022 and
¥1,090.4 billion in fiscal 2021.
Toyota presents research and development expenditures as a supplemental measure that demonstrates the amount of research and development
expenditures undertaken during the relevant reporting period. Toyota defines research and development expenditures as research and development cost,
plus research and development-related expenditures that were recognized as intangible assets, less amortization expenses for such assets. This measure
has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of Toyota’s research and development
cost as reported under IFRS.

Toyota operates a global research and development organization with the primary goal of building automobiles that meet the needs of customers in
every region of the world. In Japan, research and development operations are led by Toyota and Toyota Central Research & Development Laboratories,
Inc., which works closely with Daihatsu, Hino, Toyota Auto Body Co., Ltd., Toyota Motor East Japan, Inc., and many other Toyota group companies.
Overseas, Toyota has a worldwide network of technical centers as well as design and motorsports research and development centers.
Toyota established TRI in January 2016 to accelerate research and development of artificial intelligence technology, which has significant
potential to support future industrial technologies. In July 2017, TRI invested $100 million to launch a venture capital fund designed to provide
financing to startup companies, and is making investments in newly established promising startup companies in the four areas of artificial intelligence,
robotics, autonomous mobility, and data and cloud technology. TRI successively invested another $100 million in May 2019 and $150 million in June
2021. In addition, TRI established a $150 million fund in an aim to achieve carbon neutrality.
In Japan, Toyota established a new company, Toyota Research Institute — Advanced Development (“TRI-AD”), in March 2018 to further
accelerate its efforts in advanced development for automated driving technology and related technologies. Its key objectives include creating a smooth
software pipeline from research to commercialization, leveraging data-handling capabilities, strengthening collaboration in development within the
Toyota group, including TRI, to accelerate development, and recruiting and employing top-level engineers globally, while cultivating and coordinating
strong talent within the Toyota group. In January 2021, TRI-AD was reorganized into Woven Planet Group comprising four companies — Woven Planet
Holdings, Inc., which is responsible for decision-making for the entire group and creates new business opportunities; Woven Core, Inc., which assumed
the business of TRI-AD and is responsible for the development of automated driving technologies; Woven Alpha, Inc., which is responsible for the
development of new projects such as Woven City and Arene, a software platform; and Woven Capital, L.P. with a total investment value of $800 million,
which invests in growth-stage companies in areas such as autonomous driving mobility, artificial intelligence, and smart city. Moreover, to bolster
overseas research and development initiatives related to automated driving technology and software platforms, Toyota established Woven Planet North
America (WPNA) in the United States and Woven Planet United Kingdom in the United Kingdom, and transferred TRI’s automated driving division to
WPNA in May 2022. On April 1, 2023, Woven Planet Holdings, Inc., Woven Core, Inc. and Woven Alpha, Inc. were merged and changed their name to
Woven by Toyota, Inc.
Toyota also established a technical development center in Otemachi, Tokyo, Japan in October 2018 as a site for development of key IT
technologies that will support automated driving in collaboration with Woven Core, as well as promotion of collaboration with venture companies and
creation of new value by utilizing big data.

Toyota carefully analyzes patents and the need for patents in each area of research to formulate more effective research and development
strategies. Toyota identifies research and development projects in which it should build a strong global patent portfolio.
For a further discussion of Toyota’s intellectual property, see “Item 4. Information on the Company — 4.B Business Overview — Intellectual
Property.”
Toyota strives to provide a full lineup of products with “good quality yet affordable prices” globally at the right place at the right time, and offer
products and services that are sympathetic towards customers in each country and region, through the initiative of “making even better cars” that we
have been engaged in since the 2008 financial crisis. In order to meet these objectives, following the introduction of “region-based operations,” the
“business unit system” and the “in-house company system” in 2011, 2013 and 2016, respectively, in April 2017 Toyota further clarified that, for the
purpose of further accelerating decision-making and operational execution, members of the board of directors are responsible for decision-making and
management oversight and that operating officers are responsible for operational execution. Furthermore, in 2018, Toyota changed the commencement
of operating officers’ terms of office from April to January, reduced corporate strategy functions and restructured the Japan Sales Business Group based
on regions rather than sales channels in an effort to enable decision-making closer to customers and the field, in order to further accelerate execution in
full coordination with each site. In 2019, in order to further advance Toyota’s “acceleration of management” and the development of a diverse and
talented workforce, the executive structure was changed to be composed only of senior managing officers and people of higher rank, and a new
classification called “senior professional/senior management” (kanbushoku) grouped and replaced the following titles or ranks: managing officers,
executive general managers, (sub-executive managerial level) senior grade 1 and senior grade 2 managers, and grand masters. From the perspective of
appointing the right people to the right positions, senior professionals/senior management were positioned in a wide range of posts, from those of chief
officer, deputy chief officer, plant general manager, and senior general manager to group manager, to deal with management issues as they arise and to
strengthen their development as part of a diverse and talented workforce through on-site learning and problem-solving (genchi genbutsu). In April 2020,
Toyota consolidated the posts of executive vice president and operating officer into the post of operating officer. In July 2020, Toyota further clarified
the roles of operating officers. Members of management who, together with the president, have cross-functional oversight of the entire company, were
redefined as “operating officers.” In-house company presidents, regional CEOs, and chief

officers, as on-site leaders of business implementation elements, were given authority while being consolidated into the classification of “senior
professional/senior management.” The roles of operating officers and senior professionals/senior management are to be determined where and as
needed, and persons appointed as operating officers and senior professionals/senior management will change in accordance with the challenges faced
and the path that should be taken, as the company exercises greater flexibility in making appointments. However, because of the rapidly changing
business environment, Toyota now recognizes that there is an increasing need for such executives to fulfill management roles (related to people, goods,
and money) together with our President. Therefore, in April 2022, Toyota reorganized the roles of operating officers and reestablished the position of
“executive vice president,” defining it as an operating officer who is focused on the business from a management perspective. In April 2023, the role of
operating officers was revised to a management team that implements “product-centered (manufacturing ever-better cars) and region-centered
(best-in-town) management” under the theme of “inheritance and evolution,” and the executive vice presidents were selected upon their extensive
knowledge and experience from the two pillars of products and regions. Based on its basic policy of appointing the right people to the right positions,
Toyota has been swiftly and continuously innovating. Toyota will further press forward the tide of such innovations, aiming for a corporate structure
capable of carrying out management from a viewpoint that is optimal for a global company.
In order to convey top management’s aspirations and the company’s direction to all stakeholders, Toyota communicates what Toyota is really like
through “Toyota Times.”
Toyota believes that it is critical to appoint individuals who are capable of contributing to decision-making aimed at sustainable growth into the
future by practicing “product-centered and region-centered management” in keeping with the spirit of the Toyoda Principles, which set forth its founding
philosophy. Moreover, these individuals should be able to play a significant role in transforming Toyota into a “mobility company” through responding
to electrification, intelligence, and diversification and external partnerships based on trust and friendship and internal two-way interactive teamwork,
while working towards solutions for social challenges such as the climate change issue. Toyota maintains its board of directors and senior management
at an adequate size, and ensures they are overall balanced and diverse, including from the perspective of gender and nationality. Three outside members
of the board of directors have been appointed in order to further reflect the opinions of those from outside the company in management’s decision-
making process. Toyota has six audit & supervisory board members, four of whom are outside audit & supervisory board members. In order to be
prepared in the event Toyota lacks the number of audit & supervisory board members required by law, one substitute audit & supervisory board member
has been appointed pursuant to Article 329, Paragraph 3 of the Companies Act.

6.B COMPENSATION
Decision Making Policy and Process
Toyota believes that it is critical to appoint individuals who are capable of implementing “management centered on products and regions” and
contributing to decision-making aimed at sustainable growth into the future in keeping with the spirit of the Toyoda Principles, which set forth its
founding philosophy. Moreover, these individuals should be able to play a significant role in transforming Toyota into a mobility company and
contribute to the solutions of social issues, including climate change, through efforts for electrification, intelligence, and diversification and building
external partnerships therefor based on trust and friendship and internal two-way interactive teamwork. Toyota’s director compensation system is an
important means through which to promote various initiatives and is determined based on the following policy.
• It should be a system that encourages members of the board of directors to work to improve the medium- to long-term corporate value of
Toyota.
• It should be a system that can maintain compensation levels that will allow Toyota to secure and retain talented personnel.
• It should be a system that motivates members of the board of directors to promote management from the same viewpoint as our shareholders
with a stronger sense of responsibility as corporate managers.
The board of directors decides by resolution the policy for determining remuneration for and other payments to each member of the board of
directors. Remuneration is effectively linked to corporate performance while reflecting individual job responsibilities and performance. Remuneration
for outside members of the board of directors and audit & supervisory board members consists only of fixed payments. As a result, this remuneration is
not readily impacted by business performance, helping to ensure independence from management.

Based on the resolution of the 115th Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held on June 13, 2019 concerning remuneration for the members of
the board of directors of Toyota, the maximum cash compensation was set at 3.0 billion yen per year (of which, the maximum amount payable to outside
members of the board of directors is 0.3 billion yen per year), and the maximum share compensation was set at 4.0 billion yen per year. The number of
members of the board of directors as of the conclusion of the 115th Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting was nine (including three outside members
of the board of directors).
The amount of remuneration for audit & supervisory board members of Toyota was set at 30 million yen or less per month at the 104th Ordinary
General Shareholders’ Meeting held on June 24, 2008. The number of audit & supervisory board members as of the conclusion of the 104th Ordinary
General Shareholders’ Meeting was seven.
The amount of remuneration for each member of the board of directors of Toyota and the remuneration system are decided by the board of
directors and the “Executive Compensation Meeting,” a majority of the members of which are outside members of the board of directors, to ensure the
independence of the decision. For fiscal 2023, the Executive Compensation Meeting consists of vice chairman of the board of directors Shigeru
Hayakawa*1(Chairman), member of the board of directors Yoichi Miyazaki, and outside members of the board of directors Ikuro Sugawara, Sir Philip
Craven, Masahiko Oshima*3 and Emi Osono*3.
*1 Shigeru Hayakawa, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, replaced Takeshi Uchiyamada, Chairman of the Board of Directors, as Chairman of
the Executive Compensation Meeting on April 1, 2023. Takeshi Uchiyamada, Chairman of the Board of Directors, became a member of the Board
of Directors as of the same date, and subsequently retired as a member of the Board of Directors upon the conclusion of the Ordinary General
Shareholders’ Meeting held on June 14, 2023.

member of the Board of Directors upon the conclusion of the Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held on June 14, 2023, and Yoichi
Miyazaki, Operating Officer, became a member of the Board of Directors upon the conclusion of the Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting
held on June 14, 2023.
*3 Masahiko Oshima and Emi Osono, both outside members of the Board of Directors, replaced Teiko Kudo, an outside member of the Board of
Directors, as members of the Executive Compensation Meeting on June 14, 2023. Teiko Kudo, an outside member of the Board of Directors,

*4 The amount of remuneration for each outside member of the Board of Directors and the amount of remuneration for each non-outside member of
the Board of Directors were determined at meetings of the Executive Compensation Meeting held in April 2022 and April 2023, respectively.
The board of directors resolves the policy for determining remuneration for and other payments to each member of the board of directors and the
executive remuneration system as well as the total amount of remuneration for a given fiscal year. The board of directors also resolves to delegate the
determination of the amount of remuneration for each member of the board of directors to the Executive Compensation Meeting.
The Executive Compensation Meeting reviews the remuneration system for members of board of directors and senior management on which it
will consult with the board of directors and determines the amount of remuneration for each member of the board of directors, taking into account
factors such as corporate performance as well as individual job responsibilities and performance, in accordance with the policy for

determining remuneration for and other payments to each member of the board of directors established by the board of directors. The board of directors
considers that such decisions made by the Executive Compensation Meeting are in line with the policy on determining remuneration and other payments
for each member of the board of directors.
Remuneration for audit & supervisory board members is determined by the audit & supervisory board within the scope determined by resolution
of the shareholders’ meeting.
Executive Compensation Meetings were held in April 2022 and March and April 2023 to discuss and determine the amount of remuneration for
fiscal 2023 and other relevant matters.
Furthermore, preliminary examination meetings, consisting only of outside members of the board of directors, were held on a total of five
occasions in July, September and October 2022 and January and February 2023 to discuss matters for the Executive Compensation Meetings.
Remuneration for the members of the board of directors were determined with the unanimous consent of the Executive Compensation Meeting.
Toyota determines the annual total remuneration level appropriate for each position and job responsibility in accordance with factors including the
size of each director’s role, and by referring to the benchmarking result of remuneration for officers of both Japanese and global companies.

Directors with Foreign Citizenship (Excluding Outside Members of the Board of Directors)
Fixed remuneration and performance-based remuneration are set based on the remuneration levels and structures that allow Toyota to secure and
retain talented personnel. Fixed remuneration is set, taking into account each member’s job responsibilities and the remuneration standards of such
member’s home country (application determined based on each member’s job responsibilities and other factors). Performance-based remuneration is set
based on consolidated operating income, the fluctuation of the market capitalization of Toyota and individual performance, taking into account each
member’s job responsibilities and the remuneration standards of such member’s home country (application determined based on each member’s job
responsibilities and other factors). The concept of each item is the same as that for directors with Japanese citizenship (excluding outside members of the
board of directors). There are cases where Toyota provides income tax compensation for certain members of the board of directors in light of the
difference in income tax rates with those of his or her home country.
Compensation
The aggregate amount of remuneration, including bonuses, accrued for all members of the board of directors and audit & supervisory board
members as a group by Toyota for services in all capacities was ¥3,461 million during fiscal 2023.

Under the provisions of the Companies Act, if Toyota decides the terms of an agreement promising that Toyota will compensate a member of the
board of directors for all or part of certain expenses incurred by the member of the board of directors, such a decision must be made by a resolution of
the board of directors. Under the provisions of the Companies Act, if Toyota decides the terms of an insurance agreement to be executed with an insurer,
under which a member of the board of directors is the insured, and which promises that the insurer will compensate for damage arising from the member
of the board of directors being held liable in relation to the execution of his or her duties or from a liability claim filed against the member of the board
of directors, such decision must be made by a resolution of the board of directors.
Under the Companies Act and Toyota’s articles of incorporation, Toyota may, by a resolution of its board of directors, exempt members of the
board of directors (including former members of the board of directors) from their liabilities to Toyota arising in connection with their failure to execute
their duties within the limits stipulated by laws and regulations. In addition, Toyota may enter into a liability limitation agreement with each member of
the board of directors (excluding executive members of the board of directors, among others) which limits the maximum amount of their liabilities owed
to Toyota arising in connection with their failure to execute their duties to an amount equal to the minimum liability limit amount prescribed in the laws
and regulations.

and
(c) the person is not a spouse or relative within the second degree of kinship of any member of the board of directors or manager or other key
employee of Toyota.
The audit & supervisory board members may not at the same time be a member of the board of directors, an accounting counselor (in case that an
accounting counselor is a judicial person, a member of such judicial person who is in charge of its affairs), executive officers, general managers or
employees of Toyota or any of its subsidiaries. Together, these audit & supervisory board members form the audit & supervisory board. The audit &
supervisory board members have the duty to examine the financial statements and business reports which are submitted by the board of directors to the

of directors. Audit & supervisory board members are not required to be, and Toyota’s audit & supervisory board members are not, certified public

members of the labor unions that compose the Federation of All Toyota Workers’ Unions. Approximately 86% of Toyota Motor Corporation’s regular
employees in Japan are members of this union.

Under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law, any person who becomes, beneficially and solely or jointly, a holder, including, but not
limited to, a deemed holder who manages shares for another holder pursuant to a discretionary investment agreement, of more than 5% of the total
issued shares of a company listed on a Japanese stock exchange (including American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, representing such shares) must file a
report concerning the shareholding with the director of the relevant local finance bureau. A similar report must be filed, with certain exceptions, if the
percentage of shares held by a holder, solely or jointly, of more than 5% of the total issued shares of a company increases or decreases by 1% or more, or
if any change to a material matter set forth in any previously filed reports occurs.
Based on information known to Toyota or that can be ascertained from public filings, the following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of

March 31, 2023, there were 489 record holders of Toyota’s common stock with addresses in the United States, whose shareholdings represented
approximately 9.7% of the issued common stock on that date. Because some of these shares were held by brokers or other nominees, the number of
record holders with addresses in the United States might not fully show the number of beneficial owners in the United States.

Toyota knows of no arrangements the operation of which may at a later time result in a change of control.
Toyota resolved at its board of directors meeting held on May 12, 2021 to split each share of common stock of Toyota as of September 30, 2021,
the record date, into five shares, effective October 1, 2021. Toyota decided to do so in order to create an environment in which Toyota shares are more
accessible to a broader base of investors by reducing the price per investment unit. In conjunction with the stock split, in accordance with Article 184,
Paragraph 2 of the Companies Act, Toyota amended its articles of incorporation to increase the total number of shares of common stock which Toyota is
authorized to issue from 10,000,000,000 to 50,000,000,000 on October 1, 2021, the effective date of the stock split.

incorporation permitting the issuance of Model AA Class Shares in the future. Toyota resolved at its board of directors meeting held on December 14,
2020 to exercise Toyota’s cash call option to acquire all outstanding First Series Model AA Class Shares and, subject to such acquisition, to cancel all
First Series Model AA Class Shares pursuant to the Companies Act. Toyota completed the acquisition of all outstanding First Series Model AA
Class Shares on April 2, 2021 and cancelled them on April 3, 2021. At the 117th Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held in June 2021, Toyota’s
shareholders approved amendments to Toyota’s articles of incorporation to, among other things, eliminate the First Series Model AA Class Shares
through the Fifth Series Model AA Class Shares as classes of Toyota’s capital stock, effective June 16, 2021. Prior to the June 16, 2021 amendment, the
articles of incorporation provided that, in the event that Toyota paid a year-end dividend to holders of common stock, it would pay a year-end dividend
to any holders of Model AA Class Shares or registered pledgees of Model AA Class Shares of record as of the record date for the year-end dividend, in
the amount payable on the Model AA Class Shares pursuant to their terms (“AA Dividends”), in preference to holders of common stock or registered
pledgees of common stock.
In addition to these year-end dividends, Toyota may pay an interim dividend in the form of cash distributions from its distributable surplus to
holders of common stock and pledgees of common stock of record as of September 30, the record date, in each year by a resolution of its board of
directors. Prior to the June 16, 2021 amendment, the articles of incorporation provided that, in the event that Toyota paid such interim dividends, Toyota
would pay an amount equivalent to one-half of the AA Dividends as an interim dividend to any holders of Model AA Class Shares or registered pledgees
of Model AA Class Shares of record as of the record date for the interim dividend, in preference to holders of common stock or registered pledgees of
common stock.
In addition, under the Companies Act, dividends may be paid to holders of common stock and pledgees of record of common stock as of any
record date, other than those specified above, as set forth in Toyota’s articles of incorporation or as determined by its board of directors from time to
time. Under the Companies Act, dividends may be distributed in cash or (except in the case of interim dividends mentioned in the third preceding
paragraph) in kind, subject to limitations on distributable surplus and to certain other conditions.

* The numbers in angle brackets are calculated based on a “pre-stock split” basis, that is, on the assumption that the five-for-one stock split that Toyota
effected on October 1, 2021 had not taken place.
Toyota deems improving shareholder returns as one of its priority management policies, and it will continue to work to improve its corporate
culture to realize sustainable growth in order to enhance its corporate value. Toyota will strive for the stable and continuous increase of dividends.
With a view to surviving tough competition and transitioning to a mobility company, Toyota will aim to utilize its internal funds mainly for
investment in growth for the next generation, such as environmental technologies to achieve a carbon-neutral society and safety technologies for the
safety and security of its customers, and also for the stakeholders such as employees, business partners and local communities.
Considering these factors, with respect to the dividends for fiscal 2023, Toyota has determined to pay a year-end dividend of 35 yen (175 yen on a
pre-stock split basis) per share of common stock by a resolution of the board of directors pursuant to Toyota’s articles of incorporation. As a result,
combined with the interim dividend of 25 yen (125 yen on a pre-stock split basis) per share of common stock, the annual dividend will be 60 yen (300
yen on a pre-stock split basis) per share of common stock, and the total amount of the dividends on common stock for the year will be 816.9 billion yen.
Furthermore, Toyota resolved, at its board of directors meeting held on May 10, 2023, to repurchase up to 120 million shares of its common stock
between June 17, 2022 and September 30, 2022 at a total maximum purchase price of 150 billion yen.
Toyota intends to repurchase shares flexibly by taking into consideration the price level of its common stock and other factors.

Toyota does not issue share certificates for its shares. In accordance with the Companies Act, the Book-Entry Transfer Act and Toyota’s articles of
incorporation, Toyota’s common stock are recorded or registered on (i) Toyota’s register of shareholders and (ii) transfer account books of the Japan
Securities Depository Center, Inc. (“JASDEC”) which is a book-entry transfer institution, and securities firms, banks or other account management
institutions. The transfer of common stock will generally become effective once the transfer is recorded in the transferee’s account. There are no
restrictions imposed by Toyota’s articles of incorporation or share handling regulations on the transfer of common stock. In order to assert shareholders’
rights against Toyota, a shareholder must generally have his or her name and address recorded or registered on Toyota’s register of shareholders. A
holder of common stock can assert minority shareholders’ rights (shareholders’ rights for which Toyota has not set a record date) against Toyota if
JASDEC provides an individual shareholder notice to Toyota upon the shareholder’s request. The shareholder of deposited shares underlying the ADSs
is the Depositary for the ADSs. Accordingly, holders of ADSs will not be able directly to assert shareholders’ rights.
A holder of common stock must have a transfer account to transfer shares. Holders of common stock who do not have a transfer account with
JASDEC must have an account with an account management institution that directly or indirectly has a transfer account with JASDEC. Once Toyota
decides on the record date for its shareholders’ meeting or makes a request to JASDEC based on justifiable grounds, JASDEC will promptly provide to
Toyota names, addresses and other information with respect to the holders of Toyota’s common stock who are recorded on the transfer account books of
JASDEC or account management institutions. Upon receiving such information, Toyota will record or register such information received from JASDEC
on its register of shareholders. Accordingly, holders of common stock recorded or registered on Toyota’s register of shareholders will be treated as
holders of common stock of Toyota and may exercise rights, such as voting rights, and will receive dividends (if any) and notices to holders of common
stock directly from Toyota. Holders of common stock wishing to assert minority shareholders’ rights against Toyota must request an individual
shareholder notice to JASDEC or the account management institution at which the shareholder has opened a transfer account. In response to such
request, JASDEC will provide the individual shareholders notice to Toyota. A holder of common stock may assert his or her minority shareholders’
rights against Toyota for a period of four weeks after the date the individual shareholder notice is provided to Toyota. The shares held by a person who is
deemed to hold additional shares according to the transfer account books are aggregated for these purposes.
Corporate Purpose
Article 2 of Toyota’s articles of incorporation states that its purpose is to engage in the following businesses:

Dividends
Dividends — General
Toyota normally pays dividends twice per year, including an interim dividend and a year-end dividend. Toyota’s articles of incorporation provide
that retained earnings can be distributed as dividends pursuant to a resolution of its board of directors. Toyota’s board of directors resolves to pay
year-end dividends to shareholders and registered pledgees of record as of March 31, the record date, in each year.
In addition to these year-end dividends, Toyota may pay an interim dividend in the form of cash distributions from its distributable surplus to
holders of stock and pledgees of stock of record as of September 30, the record date, in each year by a resolution of its board of directors.
In addition, under the Companies Act, dividends may be paid to shareholders and pledgees of record as of any record date, other than those
specified above, as set forth by Toyota’s articles of incorporation or as determined by its board of directors from time to time. Under the Companies Act,
dividends may be distributed in cash or (except in the case of interim dividends mentioned in the second preceding paragraph) in kind, subject to
limitations on distributable surplus and to certain other conditions.
The amount of surplus at any given time shall be the amount of Toyota’s assets and the book value of Toyota’s treasury stock after subtracting and
adding the amounts of items provided for by the Companies Act and

the ordinance of the Ministry of Justice, and the amount of surplus distributable for dividends is calculated by adding to and subtracting from this
amount the amounts of items provided for by the Companies Act and the ordinance of the Ministry of Justice.
Dividends — Prescription
Under its articles of incorporation, Toyota is not obligated to pay any dividends in cash which are left unclaimed for a period of three years after
the date on which they first became payable.
Capital Accounts
The amount of the cash or assets paid or contributed by subscribers for new shares (with certain exceptions) is required to be accounted for as
stated capital, although Toyota may account for an amount not exceeding one-half of such cash or assets as additional paid-in capital.
Under the Companies Act, Toyota may reduce its additional paid-in capital and legal reserve without limitation on the amount to be reduced,
generally, by a resolution of a general shareholders’ meeting and if so decided by the same resolution, may account for the whole or any part of the
amount of the reduction of additional paid-in capital as stated capital. The whole or any part of surplus which may be distributed as dividends may also
be transferred to stated capital by a resolution of a general shareholders’ meeting.
Stock Splits
Toyota may at any time split the outstanding shares into a greater number of shares by a resolution of the board of directors. Toyota must give
public notice of the stock split, specifying a record date for the stock split, not less than two weeks prior to the record date.
Consolidation of Shares
Toyota may at any time consolidate shares in issue into a smaller number of shares by a special shareholders resolution (as defined in “Voting
Rights”). When a consolidation of shares is to be made, Toyota must give public notice of certain matters two weeks prior to the effective date of the
consolidation.
Voting Rights under the Unit Share System. Under the unit share system, shareholders have one voting right for each unit of shares that they
hold. Any number of shares less than a full unit will carry no voting rights.
Purchase by Toyota of Shares Constituting Less Than a Unit. A holder of shares constituting less than a full unit may require Toyota to purchase
those shares at their market value in accordance with the provisions of Toyota’s share handling regulations and the Companies Act.
Voting Rights
Toyota holds its ordinary general shareholders’ meeting each year. In addition, Toyota may hold an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting
whenever necessary by giving at least two weeks’ advance notice.

Under the Companies Act, notice of any shareholders’ meeting must be given to each shareholder having voting rights or, in the case of a non-resident
shareholder, to his or her resident proxy or mailing address in Japan in accordance with Toyota’s share handling regulations, at least two weeks prior to
the date of the meeting.
Holders of common stock shall have voting rights exercisable at a general shareholders’ meeting. A holder of shares constituting one or more
whole units is entitled to one vote per unit of shares subject to the limitations on voting rights set forth in this paragraph. In general, under the
Companies Act, a resolution can be adopted at a general shareholders’ meeting by a majority of the shares having voting rights represented at the
meeting. The Companies Act and Toyota’s articles of incorporation require a quorum for the election of members of the board of directors and audit &
supervisory board members of not less than one-third of the total number of outstanding shares having voting rights. Toyota’s shareholders are not
entitled to cumulative voting in the election of members of the board of directors. A corporate shareholder, the management of which is substantially
under Toyota’s control as provided by an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice, either through the holding of voting rights or for any other reason, does
not have voting rights.
Under the Companies Act, Toyota shall implement the electronic provision measures (“Electronic Provision”) for the information contained in the
reference materials, etc. for general shareholders’ meetings.
The convocation notice of shareholders’ meeting must set forth the information contained in the reference materials, etc. for general shareholders’
meetings being provided through the Electronic Provision and the URL of the website used for the Electronic Provision, in addition to the place, the
time and the purpose of the meeting. The information contained in the reference materials, etc. for general shareholders’ meetings must be posted on a
website from the earlier of the date three weeks prior to the date set for the meeting or the date on which the convocation notice of shareholders’ meeting
is dispatched until the date on which three months have elapsed from the meeting. In general, any shareholder is entitled to request printed paper copies
of the information contained in the reference materials, etc. for general shareholders’ meetings by the record date for voting rights at the relevant general
shareholders’ meeting.
Shareholders may exercise their voting rights by attending the general shareholders’ meeting or in writing by mail. Shareholders who choose to
exercise their voting rights by mail must fill out and return to Toyota the voting right exercise form enclosed with the convocation notice of the general
shareholders’ meeting by the date specified in such convocation notice. In addition, from the general shareholders’ meeting for fiscal 2009, shareholders
may exercise their voting rights through the internet. Shareholders electing to exercise their voting rights through the internet must log on to the
“Website to Exercise Voting Rights” using the login ID and temporary password provided in the voting right exercise form enclosed with the
convocation notice and submit their votes by a date specified in the convocation notice, following instructions appearing on the website. Institutional
investors may also use the Electronic Proxy Voting Platform operated by Investor Communications Japan to exercise their voting rights through the use
of the Internet, if such institutional investor applies to use the platform in advance. Shareholders may also exercise their voting rights through proxies,
provided that those proxies are also shareholders who have voting rights. Toyota may refuse a shareholder having two or more proxies attend a general
shareholders’ meeting.
The Companies Act provides that a quorum of at least one-third of outstanding shares with voting rights must be present at a shareholders’
meeting to approve any material corporate actions such as:
(1) any amendment of the articles of incorporation with certain exceptions in which a shareholders’ resolution is not required;

may transfer such rights.
Liquidation Rights
In the event of a liquidation of Toyota, the assets remaining after payment of all debts, liquidation expenses and taxes will be distributed among
the shareholders or registered pledgees in proportion to the respective number of shares they own.
Transfer Agent
Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation is the transfer agent for all shares. Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation’s office is

Record Date
The close of business on March 31 is the record date for Toyota’s year-end dividends, if paid. A holder of shares constituting one or more whole
units who is recorded or registered as a holder on Toyota’s register at the close of business as of March 31 is also entitled to exercise shareholders’
voting rights at the ordinary general shareholders’ meeting with respect to the business year ending on March 31. The close of business on September 30
of each year is the record date for interim dividends, if paid. In addition, Toyota may set a record date for determining the shareholders entitled to other
rights and for other purposes by giving at least two weeks’ prior public notice.
The shares generally trade ex-dividend or ex-rights on the Japanese stock exchanges on the business day preceding a record date (or if the record
date is not a business day, one business day prior thereto), for the purpose of dividends or rights offerings.
Any acquisition of shares must satisfy certain requirements that the total amount of the acquisition price may not exceed the amount of the
distributable dividends. See “Item 10. Additional Information — 10.B Memorandum and Articles of Association — Dividends.”
Shares acquired by Toyota may be held by it for any period or may be cancelled by resolution of the board of directors. Toyota may also transfer
to any person the shares held by it, subject to a resolution of the board of directors, and subject also to other requirements applicable to the issuance of
new shares. Toyota may also utilize its treasury stock for the purpose of transfer to any person upon exercise of stock acquisition rights or for the
purpose of acquiring another company by way of merger, share exchange or corporate split through exchange of treasury stock for shares or assets of the
acquired company.
The Companies Act generally prohibits any subsidiary of Toyota from acquiring shares of Toyota.

The Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act of Japan (Act No. 228 of 1949, as amended, the “FEFTA”) and the cabinet orders and ministerial
ordinances thereunder (collectively, the “Foreign Exchange Regulations”) govern the acquisition and holding of shares of capital stock and voting rights
of Toyota by “exchange non-residents” and by “foreign investors.” The Foreign Exchange Regulations currently in effect do not, however, affect
transactions between exchange non-residents to purchase or sell shares outside Japan using currencies other than Japanese yen.
Generally, branches and other offices of non-resident corporations that are located within Japan are regarded as residents of Japan. Conversely,
branches and other offices of Japanese corporations located outside Japan are regarded as exchange non-residents.

Acquisition of Shares
In general, the acquisition of shares of a Japanese company (such as the shares of capital stock of Toyota) by an exchange non-resident from a
resident of Japan is not subject to any prior filing requirements (other than those relating to an “inward direct investment” set out below). In certain
limited circumstances, however, the Minister of Finance may require prior approval of an acquisition of this type. While prior approval, as described
above, is not required in general, in the case where a resident of Japan transfers shares of a Japanese company (such as the shares of capital stock of
Toyota) for consideration exceeding ¥100 million to an exchange non-resident, the resident of Japan who transfers the shares is required to report the
transfer to the Minister of Finance within 20 days from the date of the transfer or the date of receipt of payment, whichever comes later, unless (i) the
transfer was made through a bank or financial instruments business operator licensed or registered under Japanese law or other entity prescribed by the
Foreign Exchange Regulations acting as an agent or intermediary or (ii) the acquisition constitutes an “inward direct investment” described below.
For reference purposes only, the Minister of Finance publishes, and may update from time to time, a list that classifies Japanese listed companies
into the above categories. According to the list published by the Minister of Finance as of April 24, 2023, the businesses which are currently engaged in
by Toyota are classified as category (ii) i.e., the Core Sector Designated Businesses above.

In addition to the acquisitions of shares or voting rights described above, if a foreign investor (i) is granted the authority to exercise proxy voting
rights on behalf of other shareholders of the relevant company regarding certain matters which may control substantially or have a material influence on
the management of such company, such as the election or removal of directors, or (ii) obtains consent from another foreign investor holding the voting
rights of the relevant company to exercise the voting rights of such company jointly, and, in each case, as a result of these arrangements, the number of
the voting rights directly or indirectly held by the foreign investor, including the total number of the voting rights subject to such proxy, or the sum of
the number of the voting rights directly or indirectly held by the foreign investor and such other foreign investors subject to such joint voting agreement,
as the case may be, is 10% or more of the total number of voting rights of the relevant company, each such arrangement regarding voting rights
(hereinafter referred to as a “voting arrangement”) also constitutes an “inward direct investment.” Additionally, if a foreign investor who directly or
indirectly holds 1% or more of the total voting rights of a Japanese listed company consents, at a general meeting of shareholders, to certain proposals
having a material influence on the management of such company such as (i) election of such foreign investor or its related persons (as defined in the
Foreign Exchange Regulations) as directors or audit & supervisory board members of the relevant company or (ii) transfer or discontinuation of its
business, such consent will also constitute an “inward direct investment.”
However, a foreign investor seeking to consummate an “inward direct investment” may be eligible for the exemptions, if certain conditions are
met.
In the case of an acquisition (including investment discretionary management) of shares or voting rights or the authority to exercise, directly or
through instructions, voting rights of a Japanese listed company that is engaged (as Toyota is currently) in one or more Core Sector Designated
Businesses, the foreign investor may be exempted from the prior notification requirement, if, as a result of such acquisition, the foreign investor directly
or indirectly holds less than 10% of the total number of issued shares or voting rights of the relevant company, and such foreign investor complies with
the following conditions:
(i) the foreign investor or its closely-related persons (as defined in the Foreign Exchange Regulations) will not become directors or audit &
supervisory board members of the relevant company;
(ii) the foreign investor will not make certain proposals (as prescribed in the Foreign Exchange Regulations) at a general meeting of
shareholders, including transfer or discontinuation of the Designated Businesses of the relevant company;
(iii) the foreign investor will not access non-public technical information in relation to the Designated Businesses of the relevant company, or
take certain other actions that may lead to the leak of such non-public technical information (as prescribed in the Foreign Exchange
Regulations);
(iv) the foreign investor will not attend, and will not cause any persons designated by it to attend, meetings of the relevant company’s board of
directors, or meetings of committees having authority to make important decisions, in respect of the Core Sector Designated Businesses of
the relevant company; and
(v) the foreign investor will not make, and will not cause any persons designated by it to make, proposals to such board or committees or their
members in writing or electronic form requesting any response or actions by certain deadlines in respect of the Core Sector Designated
Businesses of the relevant company.

In addition, in the case of an acquisition (including investment discretionary management) of shares or voting rights or the authority to exercise,
either directly or through instructions, voting rights of a Japanese listed company that is engaged in one or more Non-Core Sector Designated
Businesses, the foreign investor may be exempted from the prior notification requirement, including in the case where, as a result of such acquisition,
the foreign investor holds 10% or more of the total number of issued shares or the total number of voting rights of the relevant company, which would
have required prior notification, if such foreign investor complies with the conditions (i) through (iii) above (the “Exemption Conditions”).
Notwithstanding the above, if a foreign investor falls under a category of disqualified investors designated by the Foreign Exchange Regulations
(including (a) investors who have records of certain sanctions due to violations of the FEFTA and (b) certain investors who are state-owned enterprises
or other related entities excluding those who are accredited by the Minister of Finance), in no event may such foreign investor be eligible for the
exemptions described above. On the other hand, if a foreign investor, excluding the disqualified investors described in the foregoing sentence, falls
under a category of certain foreign financial institutions (as prescribed in the Foreign Exchange Regulations) and complies with the Exemption
Conditions, such foreign investor may be eligible for the exemptions, even if the acquisition results in such foreign investor’s directly or indirectly
holding 10% or more of the total number of issued shares or voting rights of a corporation engaged in one or more Core Sector Designated Businesses.
In addition, if a foreign investor intends to make a voting arrangement with respect to a Japanese listed company engaged one or more Designated
Businesses or consents to a proposal at a general meeting of shareholders of such company, in each case, that constitutes an “inward direct investment”
as described above, in certain circumstances, prior notification of the relevant inward direct investment must be filed with the Minister of Finance and
any other competent Ministers. However, the exemptions from the prior notification requirements may be available in the cases where the relevant
voting arrangement is regarding matters other than certain matters which may control substantially or have a material influence on the management of
the relevant company, such as the election or removal of directors, which would have required prior notification.
Acquisitions of shares by foreign investors by way of stock split are not subject to the foregoing notification requirements.

requirements described above due to the exemptions from such prior notification requirements, in general, must file a report of the relevant inward direct
investment with the Minister of Finance and any other competent Ministers having jurisdiction over such Japanese company within 45 days of such
inward direct investment when, as a result of such acquisition, the foreign investor (excluding, in the cases of (i) and (ii) below, a foreign investor who
falls under a category of certain foreign financial institutions (as prescribed in the Foreign Exchange Regulations)) directly or indirectly holds (i) 1% or
more but less than 3% of the total number of issued shares or voting rights, for the first time, (ii) 3% or more but less than 10% of the total number of
issued shares or voting rights, for the first time, or (iii) 10% or more of the total number of issued shares or voting rights.
In addition, if a foreign investor consummates the inward direct investment described above through the acquisition (including investment
discretionary management) of shares or voting rights or the authority to exercise, directly or through instructions, voting rights of a Japanese listed

of such acquisition, such foreign investor holds 10% or more of shares or voting rights of the total number of issued shares or voting rights of the
relevant company, such foreign investor must file a report of the relevant inward direct investment with the Minister of Finance and any other competent
Ministers having jurisdiction over such Japanese company within 45 days of such inward direct investment.
Additionally, if a foreign investor consummates the inward direct investment described above through a voting arrangement with respect to a
Japanese listed company that is not engaged in the Designated Businesses (which is not subject to the prior notification requirements described above),

10.E TAXATION
The following discussion is a general summary of the principal U.S. federal income and Japanese national tax consequences of the acquisition,
ownership and disposition of shares of common stock or ADSs. This summary does not purport to address all material tax consequences that may be
relevant to holders of shares of common stock or ADSs, and does not take into account the specific circumstances of any particular investors, some of
which (such as tax-exempt entities, banks, insurance companies, broker-dealers, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of
accounting for their securities holdings, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, partnerships and other pass-through entities,
investors liable for the U.S. alternative minimum tax, investors that own or are treated as owning 10% or more of Toyota’s stock (by vote or value),
investors that hold shares of common stock or ADSs as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated transaction and U.S. Holders
(as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar) may be subject to special tax rules. This summary is based on the tax laws and
regulations of the United States and Japan, judicial decisions, published rulings and administrative pronouncements all as in effect on the date hereof, as
well as on the current income tax convention between the United States and Japan (the “Treaty”),
128
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312523179181/d360541d20f.htm 133/224

as described below, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect), and to differing interpretations.
For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of shares of common stock or ADSs that, for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, is:
1. an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
2. a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the
United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;
3. an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax without regard to its source; or
4. a trust that is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more U.S. persons, or that has a valid
election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
This summary does not address any aspects of U.S. federal tax law other than income taxation and does not discuss any aspects of Japanese
taxation other than income taxation, as limited to national taxes, inheritance and gift taxation. This summary also does not cover any state or local, or
non-U.S., non-Japanese tax considerations. Investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state and local and Japanese and
other tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of shares of common stock or ADSs. In particular, where relevant, investors are urged to
confirm their status as Eligible U.S. Holders with their tax advisors and to discuss with their tax advisors any possible consequences of their failure to
qualify as Eligible U.S. Holders. In addition, this summary is based in part upon the representations of the Depositary and the assumption that each
obligation in the deposit agreement, and in any related agreement, will be performed in accordance with its terms.
In general, for purposes of the Treaty and for U.S. federal income and Japanese income tax purposes, owners of American Depositary Receipts
evidencing ADSs will be treated as the owners of the shares of common stock represented by those ADSs, and exchanges of shares of common stock for
ADSs, and exchanges of ADSs for shares of common stock, will not be subject to U.S. federal income or Japanese income tax.
The discussion below is intended for general information only and does not constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to
ownership of shares of common stock or ADSs. Prospective purchasers of shares of common stock or ADSs should consult their own tax advisors
concerning the tax consequences of their particular situations.
Japanese Taxation
The following is a summary of the principal Japanese tax consequences (limited to national taxes) to non-residents of Japan or non-Japanese
corporations without permanent establishments in Japan (“non-resident Holders”) who are holders of shares of common stock or of ADSs of Toyota. The
following information regarding taxation in Japan is based on the tax treaties and tax laws in force and their interpretation by Japan’s
129
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312523179181/d360541d20f.htm 134/224

tax authorities as of the date of this annual report. Tax laws and treaties and their interpretations may change (including with retroactive effect). Toyota
will not revise this summary on the basis of any such change occurring after the date of this annual report.
Generally, non-resident Holders are subject to Japanese withholding tax on dividends paid by Japanese corporations. Stock splits are, in general,
not taxable events.
In the absence of an applicable income tax treaty, convention or agreement reducing the maximum rate of Japanese withholding tax or allowing an
exemption from Japanese withholding tax, the rate of Japanese withholding tax applicable to dividends paid by Japanese corporations to non-resident
Holders is generally 20.42 percent, provided that, with respect to dividends paid on listed shares issued by a Japanese corporation (such as the shares of
common stock or ADSs of Toyota) to non-resident Holders, other than any non-resident Holder who is an individual holding three percent or more of the
total issued shares of the relevant Japanese corporation, the aforementioned 20.42 percent withholding tax rate is reduced to 15.315 percent for
dividends due and payable on or before December 31, 2037. These rates include a special additional withholding tax (2.1 percent of the original
withholding tax amount) to secure funds for reconstruction from the Great East Japan Earthquake.
At the date of this annual report, Japan has income tax treaties, conventions or agreements whereby the above-mentioned withholding tax rate is
reduced, in most cases to 15 percent, ten percent or five percent for portfolio investors (15 percent under the income tax treaties in force with, among
other countries, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Norway and Singapore, ten percent under the
income tax treaties with, among other countries, Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, the
U.K. and the United States, and five percent under the income tax treaties with, among other countries, Spain).
Under the Treaty, the maximum rate of Japanese withholding tax which may be imposed on dividends paid by a Japanese corporation to an
Eligible U.S. Holder that is a portfolio investor is generally reduced to ten percent of the gross amount actually distributed, and dividends paid by a
Japanese corporation to an Eligible U.S. Holder that is a pension fund (as defined in the Treaty) are exempt from Japanese income tax by way of
withholding or otherwise, provided that such dividends are not derived from the carrying on of a business, directly or indirectly, by such pension fund.
If the maximum tax rate provided for in the income tax treaty applicable to dividends paid by Toyota to any particular non-resident Holder is
lower than the withholding tax rate otherwise applicable under Japanese tax law or if any particular non-resident Holder is exempt from Japanese
income tax with respect to such dividends under the income tax treaty applicable to such particular non-resident Holder, such non-resident Holder who
is entitled to a reduced rate of or exemption from Japanese withholding tax on the payment of dividends on shares of common stock by Toyota is
required to submit an Application Form for Income Tax Convention Regarding Relief from Japanese Income Tax and Special Income Tax for
Reconstruction on Dividends (together with any other required forms and documents) in advance through the withholding agent to the relevant tax
authority before the payment of dividends. A standing proxy for non-resident Holders of a Japanese corporation may provide this application service. In
addition, a simplified special filing procedure is available for non-resident Holders to claim treaty benefits of exemption from or reduction of Japanese
withholding tax by submitting a Special Application Form for Income Tax Convention Regarding Relief from Japanese Income Tax and Special Income
Tax for Reconstruction on Dividends of Listed Stock (together with any other required forms and documents). With respect to ADSs, this reduced rate or
exemption is applicable if the Depositary or its agent submits, together with other documents, two Special Application Forms (one before payment of
dividends, the other within eight months after the recording date concerning such payment of dividends) to the Japanese tax authority. To claim this
reduced rate or exemption, any relevant non-resident Holder of ADSs will be required to file proof of taxpayer status, residence and beneficial
ownership (as applicable) and to provide other information or documents as may be required by the Depositary. A non-resident Holder who is entitled,
under an applicable

income tax treaty, to a reduced treaty rate lower than the withholding tax rate otherwise applicable under Japanese tax law or an exemption from the
withholding tax, but fails to submit the required application in advance, will be entitled to claim the refund of Japanese taxes withheld in excess of the
rate under an applicable tax treaty (if such non-resident Holder is entitled to a reduced treaty rate under the applicable income tax treaty) or the entire
amount of Japanese tax withheld (if such non-resident Holder is entitled to an exemption under the applicable income tax treaty) by complying with a
certain subsequent filing procedure. Toyota does not assume any responsibility to ensure withholding at the reduced rate, or exemption therefrom, for
non-resident Holders who would be so eligible under an applicable tax treaty, but where the required procedures as stated above are not followed.
Gains derived from the sale of shares of common stock or ADSs outside Japan by a non-resident Holder holding such shares of common stock or
ADSs as portfolio investors are, in general, not subject to Japanese income tax or corporation tax under Japanese law. In addition, Eligible U.S. Holders
are exempt from Japanese income or corporation tax with respect to such gains under the Treaty so long as filings required under Japanese law are made.
Japanese inheritance and gift taxes at progressive rates may be payable by an individual who has acquired from another individual shares of
common stock or ADSs as a legatee, heir or donee, even though neither the individual, nor the deceased, nor donor is a Japanese resident.
Holders of shares of common stock or ADSs should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect of these taxes and, in the case of U.S. Holders,
the possible application of the Estate and Gift Tax Treaty between the United States and Japan.
Taxation of Dividends
Subject to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules discussed below, the gross amount of any distribution made by Toyota in
respect of shares of common stock or ADSs (without reduction for Japanese withholding taxes) will constitute a taxable dividend to the extent paid out
of current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. The U.S. dollar amount of such a dividend
generally will be included in the gross income of a U.S. Holder, as ordinary income, when actually or constructively received by the U.S. Holder, in the
case of shares of common stock, or by the Depositary, in the case of ADSs. Dividends paid by Toyota will not be eligible for the dividends-received
deduction generally allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations.
Dividends received on shares and ADSs of certain foreign corporations by non-corporate U.S. investors may be subject to U.S. federal income tax
at lower rates than other types of ordinary income if certain conditions are met. Dividends received by non-corporate U.S. Holders with respect to shares
of common stock or ADSs of Toyota are expected to be eligible for these reduced rates of tax. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors
regarding the eligibility of such dividends for a reduced rate of tax.
The U.S. dollar amount of a dividend paid in Japanese yen will be determined based on the Japanese yen/U.S. dollar exchange rate in effect on the
date that the dividend is included in the gross income of the U.S. Holder, regardless of whether the payment is converted into U.S. dollars on that date.
Generally, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the dividend payment is included
131

Table of Contents
in the gross income of a U.S. Holder through the date that payment is converted into U.S. dollars (or otherwise disposed of) will be treated as U.S.-
source ordinary income or loss. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the calculation and U.S. federal income tax treatment of
foreign currency gain or loss.
To the extent, if any, that the amount of any distribution received by a U.S. Holder in respect of shares of common stock or ADSs exceeds
Toyota’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, the distribution first will be treated as a
tax-free return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in those shares or ADSs, and thereafter will be treated as U.S.-source
capital gain.
Distributions of additional shares of common stock that are made to U.S. Holders with respect to their shares of common stock or ADSs, and that
are part of a pro rata distribution to all of Toyota’s shareholders, generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.
For U.S. foreign tax credit purposes, dividends included in gross income by a U.S. Holder in respect of shares of common stock or ADSs will
constitute income from sources outside the United States, and will generally be “passive category income” or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders,
“general category income.” Any Japanese withholding tax imposed in respect of a Toyota dividend may be claimed as a credit against the U.S. federal
income tax liability of a U.S. Holder, subject to a number of complex limitations and conditions, including those introduced by recently issued U.S.
Treasury regulations that apply to foreign income taxes paid or accrued in taxable years beginning on or after December 28, 2021. A U.S. Holder’s use
of a foreign tax credit with respect to any such Japanese income or withholding taxes would generally not be allowed unless such U.S. Holder elects
benefits under an applicable income tax treaty with respect to such tax. A U.S. Holder who does not elect to claim a credit for any creditable foreign
income taxes paid during the taxable year may instead claim a deduction in the computation of such U.S. Holder’s taxable income. Special rules
generally will apply to the calculation of foreign tax credits in respect of dividend income that qualifies for preferential U.S. federal income tax rates.
Additionally, special rules apply to individuals whose foreign source income during the taxable year consists entirely of “qualified passive income” and
whose creditable foreign taxes paid or accrued during the taxable year do not exceed $300 ($600 in the case of a joint return). Further, under some
circumstances, a U.S. Holder that:
(i) has held shares of common stock or ADSs for less than a specified minimum period; or
(ii) is obligated to make payments related to Toyota dividends,
will not be allowed a foreign tax credit for Japanese taxes imposed on Toyota dividends.
U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

Deposits and withdrawals of common stock in exchange for ADSs will not result in the realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax
purposes.
Toyota does not believe that it was a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for its taxable year ended March 31, 2023, and currently intends
to continue its operations in such a manner that it will not become a PFIC in the future. Because the PFIC determination is made annually and the
application of the PFIC rules to a corporation such as Toyota (which among other things is engaged in leasing and financing through several
subsidiaries) is not entirely clear, no assurances can be made regarding determination of its PFIC status in the current or any future taxable year. If
Toyota is determined to be a PFIC, U.S. Holders could be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the shares
of common stock or ADSs and on certain distributions. In addition, an interest charge may apply to the portion of the U.S. federal income tax liability on
such gains or distributions treated under the PFIC rules as having been deferred by the U.S. Holder. Moreover, dividends that a non-corporate U.S.
Holder receives from Toyota will not be eligible for the reduced U.S. federal income tax rates on dividends described above if Toyota is a PFIC either in
the taxable year of the dividend or the preceding taxable year. If a U.S. Holder owns shares of common stock or ADSs in any taxable year in which
Toyota is a PFIC, such U.S. Holder generally would be required to file Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form 8621 (or other form specified by the U.S.
Department of the Treasury) on an annual basis, subject to certain exceptions based on the value of PFIC stock held. Toyota will inform U.S. Holders if
it believes that it will be classified as a PFIC in any taxable year.
Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules to shares of common stock or
ADSs.
Non-U.S. Holders
The following discussion is a summary of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences to beneficial owners of shares of common stock or
ADSs that are neither U.S. Holders, nor partnerships, nor entities taxable as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“Non-U.S. Holders”).
A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to any U.S. federal income or withholding tax on distributions received in respect of shares of
common stock or ADSs unless the distributions are effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business within the
United States (and, if an applicable tax treaty requires, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base of such Non-U.S. Holder).
A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of shares of
common stock or ADSs, unless:
(i) the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, if an
applicable tax treaty requires, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base of such Non-U.S. Holder); or
(ii) the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who was present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year of the disposition
and other conditions are met.

3/9/25, 2:10 PM Annual Report
Table of Contents
Income that is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of a Non-U.S. Holder, and, if an income tax treaty applies and so requires, is
attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base of the Non-U.S. Holder, generally will be taxed in the same manner as the income of a U.S.
Holder. In addition, under certain circumstances, any effectively connected earnings and profits realized by a corporate Non-U.S. Holder may be subject
to an additional “branch profits tax” at the rate of 30% or at a lower rate that may be prescribed by an applicable income tax treaty.
Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder in respect of shares of common stock or ADSs, and proceeds received upon the sale, exchange or
redemption of shares of common stock or ADSs by a Non-U.S. Holder, generally are exempt from information reporting and backup withholding under
current U.S. federal income tax law. However, a Non-U.S. Holder may be required to provide certification of non-U.S. status in order to obtain that
exemption.
Persons required to establish their exempt status generally must provide such certification under penalty of perjury on IRS Form W-9, entitled
Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, in the case of U.S. persons, and on IRS Form W-8BEN, entitled Certificate of Foreign
Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Individuals), or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, entitled Certificate of Status of
Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Entities) (or other appropriate IRS Form W-8), in the case of non-U.S. persons.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of backup withholding imposed on a payment generally may be claimed as a credit against the
holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is properly furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.
In addition, certain U.S. Holders who are individuals that hold certain foreign financial assets (which may include shares of common stock or
ADSs) are required to report information relating to such assets, subject to certain exceptions. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding
the effect, if any, of this legislation on their ownership and disposition of shares of common stock or ADSs.
THE SUMMARY OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME AND JAPANESE NATIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES SET OUT ABOVE IS INTENDED
FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF COMMON STOCK OR ADSs ARE URGED TO

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any

Toyota’s management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal
Control — Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Based on this evaluation, management concluded that Toyota’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2023.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Aarata LLC, an independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements included
in this report, has also audited the effectiveness of Toyota’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023, as stated in its report included
herein.
Toyota’s audit & supervisory board has determined that it does not have an “audit committee financial expert” serving on the audit & supervisory
board. The qualifications for, and powers of, the audit & supervisory board member delineated in the Companies Act are different from those anticipated
for any audit committee financial expert. Audit & supervisory board members have the authority to be given reports from a certified public accountant
or an accounting firm concerning audits, including technical accounting matters. At the same time, each audit & supervisory board member has the
authority to consult internal and external experts on accounting matters. Each audit & supervisory board member must fulfill the requirements under
Japanese laws and regulations and otherwise follow Japanese corporate governance practices and, accordingly, Toyota’s audit & supervisory board has
confirmed that it is not necessarily in Toyota’s best interest to nominate as audit & supervisory board member a person who meets the definition of audit
committee financial expert. Although Toyota does not have an audit committee financial expert on its audit & supervisory board, Toyota believes that
Toyota’s current corporate governance system, taken as a whole, including the audit & supervisory board members’ ability to consult internal and
external experts, is fully equivalent to a system having an audit committee financial expert on its audit & supervisory board.

Total 6,045 7,251
(1) Audit Fees consist of fees billed for the annual audit services engagement and other audit services, which are those services that only the external
auditor reasonably can provide, and include the services of annual audit, quarterly reviews and assessment and reviews of the effectiveness of
internal controls over financial reporting of Toyota and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies; the services associated with SEC registration
statements or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings such as comfort letters and consents; and consultations as to the
accounting or disclosure treatment of transactions or events.
(2) Audit-related Fees consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of
its financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the external auditor, and mainly include services such as agreed-upon or expanded
audit procedures; and financial statement audits of employee benefit plans.
(3) Tax Fees include fees billed for tax compliance services, including services such as tax planning, advice and compliance of federal, state, local and
international tax; the review of tax returns; assistance with tax audits and appeals; tax-only valuation services including transfer pricing; expatriate

Under the policy, specified operating officers or managers submit a request for general pre-approval of audit and permissible non-audit services
for the following fiscal year, which shall include details of the specific services and estimated fees for the services, to the audit & supervisory board,
which reviews and determines whether or not to grant the request in advance. Upon the general pre-approval of the audit & supervisory board, the
specified operating officers or managers are not required to obtain any specific pre-approval for audit and permissible non-audit services so long as
those services fall within the scope of the general pre-approval provided.
The audit & supervisory board makes a further determination of whether or not to grant a request to revise the general pre-approval for the
applicable fiscal year if such request is submitted by specified operating officers or managers. Such request may include (i) adding any audit or

which the total fee amount exceeds the amount affirmed by the general pre-approval. The determination of whether or not to grant a request to revise the
general pre-approval noted in the foregoing may alternatively be made by an audit & supervisory board member (full time), who is designated in
advance by a resolution of the audit & supervisory board, in which case such audit & supervisory board member (full time) shall report such decision at
the next meeting of the audit & supervisory board. The performance of audit and permissible non-audit services and the payment of fees are subject to
review by the audit & supervisory board at least once every fiscal half year.
None of the audit related fees, tax fees or all other fees described in the table above were approved by the audit & supervisory board pursuant to
the de minimis exception provided by paragraph(c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
ITEM 16D. EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES
Toyota does not have an audit committee. Toyota is relying on the general exemption contained in Rule 10A-3(c)(3) under the Exchange Act,
which provides an exemption from the NYSE’s listing standards relating to audit committees for foreign companies like Toyota that have an audit &
supervisory board. Toyota’s reliance on Rule 10A-3(c)(3) does not, in its opinion, materially adversely affect the ability of its audit & supervisory board
to act independently and to satisfy the other requirements of Rule 10A-3.

Association — Japanese Unit Share System.” The number of shares purchased not pursuant to publicly announced plans or programs conducted in
fiscal 2023 is 10,615.
(2) Toyota announced on May 11, 2022 that it would repurchase up to 140 million shares of its common stock between June 17, 2022 to
September 30, 2022 at a total maximum purchase price of 200 billion yen, in order to return to shareholders the profits derived in fiscal 2022.
Toyota also announced on September 21, 2022 that it would extend the term of such repurchase of its common stock from September 30, 2022 to
November 1, 2022. Toyota further announced on November 1, 2022 that it would repurchase up to 110 million shares of its common stock
between November 2, 2022 to May 12, 2023 at a total maximum purchase price of 150 billion yen in order to return to shareholders the profits
derived in the first half of fiscal 2023.
1. Members of the Board of Directors. Toyota currently does not have any members of the board of directors who will be deemed an
“independent director” as required under the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules for U.S. listed companies. Unlike the NYSE Corporate Governance
Rules, the Companies Act does not require Japanese companies with an audit & supervisory board such as Toyota to have any independent directors on
its board of directors. While the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules require that the non-management directors of each listed company meet at regularly
scheduled executive sessions without management, Toyota currently has no non-management member on its board of directors. Unlike the NYSE
Corporate Governance Rules, the Companies Act does not require, and accordingly Toyota does not have, an internal corporate organ or committee
comprised solely of independent directors.
The Companies Act requires Toyota to have outside members of the board of directors under the Companies Act. Toyota currently has four outside
members of the board of directors. An “outside” member of the board of directors refers to:
(a) a person who is not, and has never been during the ten year period before becoming an outside member of the board of directors, an
executive director (a member of the board of directors who engages in the execution of business), executive officer, manager or employee
(collectively, “Executive Director, etc.”) of Toyota or its subsidiaries;
(b) if a person was a member of the board of directors, accounting counselor (in the case that an accounting counselor is a legal entity, an
employee of such entity who is in charge of its affairs) or
141
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312523179181/d360541d20f.htm 146/224
3/9/25, 2:10 PM Annual Report
Table of Contents
audit & supervisory board member (excluding those who have ever been Executive Directors, etc.) of Toyota or any of its subsidiaries at
any time during the ten year period before becoming an outside member of the board of directors, such person who has not been an
Executive Director, etc. of Toyota or any of its subsidiaries during the ten year period before becoming a member of the board of directors,
accounting counselor or audit & supervisory board member; and
(c) a person who is not a spouse or relative within the second degree of kinship of any member of the board of directors or manager or other
key employee of Toyota.
Such qualifications for an “outside” member of the board of directors are different from the director independence requirements under the NYSE
Corporate Governance Rules.
In addition, pursuant to the regulations of the Japanese stock exchanges, Toyota is required to have one or more “independent director(s)/audit &
supervisory board member(s),” defined under the relevant regulations of the Japanese stock exchanges as “outside directors” or “outside audit &
supervisory board members” (as defined under the Companies Act), who are unlikely to have any conflicts of interests with Toyota’s general
shareholders, and is also required to make efforts to have at least one “independent director(s)/audit & supervisory board member(s)” who is also a
director. Each of the outside members of the board of directors of Toyota satisfies the “independent director/audit & supervisory board member”
requirements under the regulations of the Japanese stock exchanges. The Japanese Corporate Governance Code provides that certain listed companies,
including Toyota, should appoint at least one third of their directors as “independent outside directors” as defined based on the criteria for assessing
director independence established by Toyota in line with the independence standards of the Japanese stock exchanges. The content of the criteria for
assessing director independence established by Toyota is the same as that of the independence standards of the Japanese stock exchanges, and each of
the outside members of the board of directors of Toyota satisfies the “independent outside director” requirements under such independence standards.
The definition of “independent director/ audit & supervisory board member” and “independent outside director” is different from that of the definition of
independent director under the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules.
2. Committees. Under the Companies Act, Toyota has elected to structure its corporate governance system as a company with audit & supervisory
board members who are under a statutory duty to monitor, review and report on the management of the affairs of Toyota. Toyota, as with other Japanese
companies with an audit & supervisory board, does not have certain committees that are required of U.S. listed companies subject to the NYSE
Corporate Governance Rules, including those that are responsible for director nomination, corporate governance and executive compensation. However,
members of Toyota’s Executive Appointment Meeting, a majority of whom are outside directors, discuss recommendations to the board of directors
concerning the appointment and dismissal of members of the board of directors and the Executive Appointment Meeting discuss the details of the
proposals to audit & supervisory board. Members of the Executive Compensation Meeting, a majority of whom are outside directors, review the
remuneration system for members of board of directors and senior management as well as determine the amount of remuneration for each member of
the board of directors. The Japanese Corporate Governance Code provides that certain listed companies, including Toyota, generally should have the
majority of the members of each of certain committees be independent directors, and those committees of Toyota satisfy that principle.
Pursuant to the Companies Act, Toyota’s board of directors nominates and submits a proposal for the appointment of members of the board of
directors for shareholder approval. The shareholders vote on such nomination at the general shareholders’ meeting. The Companies Act requires that the
limits or calculation formula of the remuneration, bonus and any other benefits in compensation for the execution of duties (“remuneration, etc.”) of
directors, the kind of remuneration, etc. (in case that the remuneration, etc. are other than cash (excluding shares and stock acquisition rights)) to be
received by directors, and the limits of remuneration, etc. that are shares and stock acquisition rights to be granted to directors as well as the limits of
remuneration, etc. to be paid to audit & supervisory board members must be determined by a resolution of the

general shareholders’ meeting, unless their remuneration, etc. is provided for in the articles of incorporation. The distribution of remuneration, etc.,
among each member of the board of directors is broadly delegated to the board of directors and the distribution of remuneration among each audit &
supervisory board member is determined by consultation among the audit & supervisory board members.
3. Audit Committee. Toyota avails itself of paragraph (c)(3) of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, which provides a general exemption from the
audit committee requirements to a foreign private issuer with an audit & supervisory board, subject to certain requirements which continue to be
applicable under Rule 10A-3.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Companies Act, Toyota elects its audit & supervisory board members through a resolution adopted at a general
shareholders’ meeting. Toyota currently has six audit & supervisory board members, which exceeds the minimum number of audit & supervisory board
members required pursuant to the Companies Act.
Unlike the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules, the Companies Act, among others, does not require audit & supervisory board members to
establish an expertise in accounting or financial management nor are they required to present other special knowledge and experience. Therefore, none
of Toyota’s audit & supervisory board members has “an expertise in accounting or financial management” as set forth in the NYSE Corporate
Governance Rules. The Japanese Corporate Governance Code indicates that persons with appropriate experience and skills as well as necessary
knowledge of finance, accounting, and laws should be appointed as audit & supervisory board members, and in particular, one or more audit &
supervisory board members who have sufficient knowledge of finance and accounting matters should be appointed. Toyota has appointed persons who
are able to provide opinions and advice regarding management based on their broader experience and discretion beyond finance and accounting. Under
the Companies Act, the audit & supervisory board may determine the auditing policies and methods of investigating the conditions of Toyota’s business
and assets, and may resolve other matters concerning the execution of the audit & supervisory board member’s duties. The audit & supervisory board
also prepares auditors’ reports and gives consent to proposals of the nomination of audit & supervisory board members. Further, the audit & supervisory
board makes decisions concerning proposals relating to the appointment and dismissal of accounting auditors; it also has the authority to dismiss the
accounting auditor when certain matters specified under the Companies Act occur.
Toyota currently has three outside audit & supervisory board members under the Companies Act. Under the Companies Act, at least half of the
audit & supervisory board members must be an “outside” audit & supervisory board member, which is any person who satisfies all of the following
requirements:
(a) the person has never been a member of the board of directors, accounting counselor (in the case that an accounting counselor is a legal
entity, an employee of such entity who is in charge of its affairs), executive officer, manager or employee of Toyota or its subsidiaries
during the ten year period before becoming an outside audit & supervisory board member;
(b) if the person was an audit & supervisory board member of Toyota or any of its subsidiaries at any time during the ten year period before
becoming an outside audit & supervisory board member, such person has not been a member of the board of directors, accounting
counselor (in the case that an accounting counselor is a legal entity, an employee of such entity who is in charge of its affairs), executive
officer, manager or employee of Toyota or any of its subsidiaries during the ten year period before becoming an audit & supervisory board
member of Toyota or any of its subsidiaries; and
(c) the person is not a spouse or relative within the second degree of kinship of any member of the board of directors or manager or other key
employee of Toyota.
Such qualifications for an “outside” audit & supervisory board member are different from the audit committee independence requirement under
the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules.

Table of Contents
Each of the outside audit & supervisory board members of Toyota satisfies the “independent director/ audit & supervisory board member”
requirements under the regulations of the Japanese stock exchanges, as described above in “1. Members of the Board of Directors.”
4. Corporate Governance Guidelines. Unlike the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules, Toyota is not required to adopt the Japanese Corporate
Governance Code under Japanese laws and regulations, including the Companies Act, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan and stock
exchange rules. However, if Toyota does not comply with the Japanese Corporate Governance Code, it is required to explain the reasons why it does not
do so in accordance with the regulations of the Japanese stock exchanges. In addition, Toyota is required to resolve at the board of directors matters
relating to a system, which is required under the ordinance of the Ministry of Justice (“internal control system” or “naibu-tosei”), to ensure the execution
of duties of the members of the board of directors to comply with laws, regulations and articles of incorporation, and any other systems to ensure the
adequacy of the business, and to disclose such matters resolved, policies and the present status of its corporate governance in its business reports, annual
securities report and certain other disclosure documents in accordance with the regulations under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law and stock
exchange rules in respect of timely disclosure.
5. Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Similar to the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules, under the Japanese Corporate Governance Code,
Toyota is encouraged to adopt a code of conduct regarding ethical business activities for members of the board of directors, officers and employees.
Toyota has resolved matters relating to maintenance of an “internal control system,” or “naibu-tosei,” in order to ensure its employees comply with
laws, regulations and the articles of incorporation, etc., pursuant to the Companies Act, and Toyota maintains guidelines and internal regulations such as
“Guiding Principles at Toyota,” “Toyota Code of Conduct” and a code of ethics pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Please see “Code of
Ethics” for additional information.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Toyota Motor Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”) as of March 31,
2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2023,
including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31,
2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2023 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023,
based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
consolidated financial statements. 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.
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.

critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below,
providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to liabilities for the costs of recalls and other safety measures that are determined comprehensively is a
critical audit matter are 1) significant judgment and estimation was required by management when developing the liabilities which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment and
subjectivity in performing procedures to evaluate management’s assumptions; and 2) significant audit effort was necessary relating to testing the accumulated amount of repair cost paid per
unit and pattern of actual payment occurrence utilized in developing the estimate. In addition, the audit effort included the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge
to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These
procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to liabilities for the costs of recalls and other safety measures, including controls related to the determination of the significant
assumptions and data used to calculate the liabilities that are determined comprehensively. These procedures also included, among others: 1) testing management’s process for estimating the
liabilities, including evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions; and 2) testing of the completeness and accuracy of the data used in the estimate. Professionals with
specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in testing the liabilities by developing an independent range of reasonable estimated loss based on the Company’s data and independently
developed assumptions.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These
procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the Company’s allowance for credit losses on retail finance receivables, including controls over data supporting the
assumptions, such as the probability of a default and the loss rate in the event of a default based on past experience, and adjustments used to determine the allowance. These procedures also
included, among others, testing management’s process for estimating the allowance, including evaluating the reasonableness of the assumptions and adjustments. Professionals with
specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating the reasonableness of the assumptions and adjustments determined by management.

TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Reporting entity
TMC is a limited liability, joint-stock company located in Japan, and TMC’s principal executive offices are registered in Toyota City, Aichi
Prefecture. The consolidated financial statements of the group consist of TMC, its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “Toyota”) and their interests in
associates and joint ventures.
Toyota and its associates are primarily engaged in the design, manufacture, and sale of sedans, minivans, compact cars, SUVs, trucks and related
parts and accessories throughout the world. In addition, Toyota and its associates provide financing, vehicle 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 and its associates.
2. Basis of preparation
(1) Compliance with international financial reporting standards

The consolidated financial statements were approved on June 30, 2023 by President, member of the Board of Directors Koji Sato and CFO,
member of the Board of Directors Yoichi Miyazaki.
The financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted in order to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by Toyota as
necessary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions as well as the unrealized profit have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Financial instruments -
(1) Financial assets
(i) Initial recognition and measurement
Toyota initially recognizes financial assets when it becomes a party to a contract and except for derivatives, classifies financial assets into
“financial assets measured at amortized cost”, “debt and equity financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income” or
“financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss”. The sale or purchase of financial assets that occurred in the normal course of business are
recognized and derecognized at the trade date.
Financial assets classified as being measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, but other financial assets are initially
recognized and measured at fair value adding transaction costs directly attributable to acquisition. Trade receivables that do not contain significant
financial elements are measured at the transaction price.
The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the
principal amount outstanding.
(b) Debt financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
Debt financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income only if it meets both of the following conditions:
The asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the
principal amount outstanding.
(c) Equity financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
For equity financial assets such as shares held mainly for the purpose of maintaining or enhancing business relationships with investees are
irrevocably designated at initial recognition, as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312523179181/d360541d20f.htm 162/224
3/9/25, 2:10 PM Annual Report
After initial recognition, financial assets are measured based on the following classification.
F-13
Table of Contents
(b) Debt financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
Subsequent changes in fair value of the financial assets are recognized as other comprehensive income. Impairment gains or losses, interest
income and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. When the financial assets are derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss
recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from other components of equity to profit or loss.
(c) Equity financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
Subsequent changes in fair value of the financial assets are recognized as other comprehensive income. When the financial assets are
derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss recognized through other comprehensive income is reclassified from other components of equity to retained
earnings. Dividends from equity financial assets are recognized in profit or loss.
At the end of the reporting period, Toyota assesses whether the credit risk on financial assets have significantly increased since initial recognition.
At the end of the reporting period, if Toyota identifies a significant increase in credit risk, allowances for credit losses are measured as being equal to the
amount of expected credit losses that would result from default events that are possible over the expected life of a financial asset. At the end of the
reporting period, if the credit risk for a financial instrument has not increased significantly since its initial recognition, allowances for credit losses are
measured as being equal to the amount of the expected credit losses caused by default events that may occur within 12 months from the end of the
reporting period.
For accounts receivable that are included in “Trade accounts and other receivables” and finance lease receivables, the allowance is continuously
measured at amounts equal to expected credit losses over the expected life of financial assets.
The amount of expected credit losses is measured as the present value of all cash short falls resulting from the difference between the cash flows
due to Toyota in accordance with the contract and cash flows that Toyota expects to receive, and such amount is recognized in profit or loss. A reversal
of the allowance for credit losses resulting from a reduction in the amount of expected credit losses is recognized in profit or loss.
If there is objective evidence of impairment such as significant financial difficulty of a borrower, or a default or delinquency by a borrower,
interest income is measured applying the effective interest method to the

(i) Initial recognition and measurement
Toyota initially measures financial liabilities other than derivatives at fair value less transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of
financial liabilities.
Toyota does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
Finance receivables -
Finance receivables recorded on Toyota’s consolidated statement of financial position are net of any unearned financial 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.
F-15
Table of Contents
The determination of finance receivable portfolios is based primarily on the qualitative consideration of the nature of Toyota’s business operations
and finance receivables. The three portfolios within finance receivables are as follows:
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 manages the retail receivables portfolio as one portfolio based on common risk characteristics associated with the underlying finance
receivables, the similarity of the credit risks, and the quantitative materiality.
Toyota is generally permitted to take possession of the vehicle upon a default by the lessee. The residual value is estimated at the time the vehicle
is first leased. Vehicles returned to Toyota at the end of their leases are sold by auction.
Toyota manages the finance lease receivables portfolio as one portfolio based on common risk characteristics associated with the underlying
finance receivables and the similarity of the credit risks.
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.

experience, the size and composition of the portfolios, current economic events and conditions, the estimated fair value and adequacy of collateral,
forward-looking information including movements of the world economy and other pertinent factors. Furthermore, portfolios are grouped based on
similarities of risk characteristics, such as product and collateral classes, when calculating expected credit losses in the aggregate.
Meanwhile, Toyota measures the loss allowance for finance receivables at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk
on that finance receivables has increased significantly since initial recognition at the reporting date. Toyota calculates the loss allowance for finance
receivables at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses by considering historical credit loss experience and future collectability, when there
is evidence that finance receivables is credit-impaired such as a breach of contract due to default or delayed contractual payments.
In calculating expected credit losses, Toyota uses the probability of a default and the loss rate in the event of a default based on past experience
and then reflects its forecasts of current and future economic conditions.
Suspension of payment over a certain period of time and or situations which contractual obligations are not being met are considered as being in
default in accordance with internal management rules.

3/9/25, 2:10 PM Annual Report
Although Toyota considers the allowance for credit losses on finance receivables 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. Future changes in the economy that
impact the consumer confidence such as increasing interest rates and a rise in the unemployment rate as well as higher debt balances, coupled with
deterioration in actual and expected used vehicle values, could negatively affect future operating results of the financial services operations.
Inventories -
Inventories are valued at cost, not in excess of net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business less the estimated original cost and estimated selling expense to product completion. The cost of inventories includes purchase costs,
conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The cost is determined principally by using
the weighted-average method.
The depreciation method, useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed annually at each fiscal year end, and
adopted prospectively, if applicable.
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 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 lease contracts are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line method over the lease term.
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 evaluates at the end of each reporting period the estimated residual value to cover probable
estimated losses related to unguaranteed residual values on its owned portfolio. The estimate is calculated considering projected vehicle return rates and
projected loss severity. Factors considered in the determination of projected return rates and loss severity include historical and market information on
used vehicle sales, trends in lease returns and new car markets, and general economic conditions. Toyota evaluates the foregoing factors, develops
several potential loss scenarios, and evaluates the estimated residual value to determine whether it is considered adequate to cover the probable range of
losses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
By evaluating estimated residual value, Toyota reflects in depreciation the amount it considers to be appropriate in relation to the estimated losses
on its owned portfolio.
Intangible assets -
Intangible assets are measured based on the cost model and carried at their cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.
The estimated useful lives and the amortization method of intangible assets are reviewed annually at each fiscal year end, and adopted
prospectively, if appropriate.
Capitalized development cost is amortized using the straight-line method over the expected product life cycle of the developed product ranging
mainly from 5 to 10 years.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312523179181/d360541d20f.htm 166/224
3/9/25, 2:10 PM Annual Report
estimated discounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and its eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss to be
recorded is calculated by the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over its recoverable amount.
Leases -
At the inception of a contract, Toyota assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
(1) Lessee
Toyota recognizes a right of use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The cost of the right of use asset is measured at the
amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability by adjusting any lease payments made or before the commencement date. Lease liability is
initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid as of the commencement date.
F-19
Table of Contents
After the commencement date, Toyota applies a cost model and subsequently depreciates the right of use asset using a straight-line method from
the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right of use asset or the end of the lease term. Lease liability is measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest method. In the consolidated statement of financial position, lease liability is included in short-term and long-
term debt. Interest on the lease liability in each period during the lease term is the amount that produces a constant periodic rate of interest on the
remaining balance of the lease liability and recognized in profit or loss over the lease term.
Many lease contracts relating to land and buildings entered into by Toyota include extension options that can be exercisable by Toyota as lessee
for various purposes, such as to ensure business flexibility. Toyota assesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and if it
assesses it to be reasonably certain, the extension option is included in the lease term.
Toyota recognizes the lease payments associated with lease terms of 12 months or less as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(2) Lessor
With respect to lessor lease transactions, Toyota determines at the commencement of the lease whether each lease is a finance lease or operating
lease.
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an underlying asset.
Otherwise leases are classified as operating leases.
Toyota recognizes the operating lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Toyota recognizes the difference arising from remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability (asset) including actuarial gains and losses in
other comprehensive income when it is incurred and reclassifies it immediately to retained earnings.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Toyota accrues for costs of recalls and other safety measures, as well as product warranty cost described above. Toyota generally measures such
“liabilities for recalls and other safety measures” at the time of vehicle sales comprehensively by aggregate sales of various models in a certain period by
geographical regions. However, when circumstances warrant, Toyota measures “liabilities for a particular recall or other safety measures” using an
individual model when they are probable and reasonably estimable.
The portion of “liabilities for recalls and other safety measures” recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position is calculated
comprehensively based on the “expected liability for the cost of recalls and other safety measures” in consideration of the “accumulated amount of
repair cost paid”. As such, this liability is evaluated every period based on new data and are adjusted as appropriate. Toyota calculates these liabilities for
units sold in the current period and each of the past 10 fiscal years, and aggregates such liabilities in determining the final liability amount.
The “expected liability for the cost of recalls and other safety measures” are calculated by multiplying the “sales unit” by the “expected average
repair cost per unit”. The “expected average repair cost per unit” is calculated based on dividing the “accumulated amount of repair cost paid per unit”
by the “pattern of payment occurrences”. The “pattern of payment occurrence” represents a ratio that shows the measure of payment occurrence over 10
years based on actual payments with regard to units sold within 10 years.
Factors that may cause a difference between the amount accrued comprehensively at the time of vehicle sale and actual payment on individual
recalls and other safety measures mainly include actual cost of recalls and safety measures during the period being significantly different from the
accumulated amount of repair cost paid per unit (generally comprised of parts and labor) and the actual pattern of payment occurrence during the period
being significantly different from the pattern of the payment occurrence in the past. Such differences are considered as part of our estimation process for
future recalls and other safety measures.
Liabilities for product warranties and liabilities for recalls and other safety measures have been combined into “Liabilities for quality assurance”
in the consolidated statement of financial position. Product warranty costs and costs of recalls and other safety measures are included in cost of products
sold in the consolidated statement of income.
The foregoing evaluations are inherently uncertain, as they require material estimates as described above. Consequently, actual warranty costs
may differ from the estimated amounts and could require additional warranty provisions. If these factors require a significant increase in Toyota’s
accrued estimated warranty costs, it would negatively affect future operating results of the automotive operations.

Revenue recognition -
In the automotive operations, performance obligations are considered to be satisfied when completed vehicles and parts are delivered to the agreed
locations with dealers. For parts for production, it is when they are loaded on a ship or delivered to manufacturing companies. We do not have any
material significant payment terms as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale.
Toyota’s sales incentive programs principally consist of cash payments to dealers calculated based on total vehicle volume or vehicle unit sales of
certain models 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 utilizing the most likely outcome method.
The sale of certain vehicles includes a contractual right, which entitles customers to free vehicle maintenance. We use an observable price to
determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations or a cost plus margin approach when one is not available. Such revenues
from free maintenance contracts are deferred and recognized as revenue over the period of the contract in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred
in satisfying the obligations under the contract.
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 accordance with lease accounting. The underlying vehicles of these transactions are
recorded as assets and are depreciated in accordance with Toyota’s depreciation policy.
Interest income from financial services is recognized using the effective interest method. Revenues from operating leases are recognized on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
If the period between satisfaction of the performance obligation and receipt of consideration is expected to be within one year or less, as a
practical expedient, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component.
Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Income taxes -
Income tax expenses are presented as the aggregate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the
carrying amount of assets or liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position and the tax base of the assets or liabilities and carryforwards of
unused tax losses and tax credits.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all future deductible amounts, to the extent that it is probable that we will have sufficient profit to utilize the
benefit of future deductible amounts.
Deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interest in joint ventures are
recognized in principle. However, they are not recognized when Toyota is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is
probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the assets are realized or
the liabilities are settled, based on the tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. The measurement of
deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which Toyota expects, at the end of
reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Information about important estimation and judgments that have significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial
statements is as follows:

Toyota has certain financial instruments, including financial assets and liabilities which arose in the normal course of business. 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 developed countries. Financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, market risk as instruments are subject to price
fluctuations, and elements of credit risk in the event a counterparty should default. In the unlikely event the counterparties fail to meet the contractual
terms of a foreign currency or an interest rate instrument, Toyota’s risk is limited to the fair value of the instrument. Although Toyota may be exposed to
losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties on financial instruments, it does not anticipate significant losses due to the nature of its
counterparties. Counterparties to Toyota’s financial instruments represent, 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.
Public and corporate bonds included in financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income include securities loaned of
¥2,198,396 million and ¥2,192,934 million as of March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

The carrying amount after impairment of the financial assets presented in the consolidated financial statements, as well as guarantee obligations
and loan commitments that are set forth in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, are the maximum exposure to the credit risk of Toyota’s
financial assets that do not take into account the value of the acquired collateral. The allowance for credit exposures of loan commitments and financial
agreements is measured in the same way that the allowance for retail receivables is measured.
Retail receivables and financial lease receivables are being secured by vehicles as collateral. Wholesale receivables and other dealer loans are
secured by placing appropriate property as collateral. Also, during the reporting period, there is no change in the policy regarding collateral.

Toyota is exposed to stock price fluctuation risk because it owns shares of companies that have business relationships mainly for promoting
smooth business activities. Toyota periodically reviews the fair values and financial situations of the business partner companies and, taking into
consideration the relationship with them, continually reviews the holding status. The impact on other comprehensive income, before tax effect when the
declared price of equity financial assets (shares) in active markets changes by 10% for the year ended March 31, 2022, and 2023 is ¥316,281 million and
¥321,472 million, respectively.

Undesignated derivative financial instruments are used to manage economic risks of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest
rates of certain receivables and payables. Those economic risks are offset by changes in the fair value of undesignated derivative financial instruments.
The gain (loss) on derivative transactions as of March 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 were ¥588 million, ¥773 million and ¥(129,782) million,
respectively. The amounts are included in cost of financial services and foreign exchange gain (loss), net.
Cash flows from transactions of derivative financial instruments are included in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statement
of cash flows.
The aggregate fair value amount of derivative financial instruments that contain credit risk related contingent features that are in a net liability
position after being offset by cash collateral as of March 31, 2022 and 2023 is ¥36,190 million and ¥12,623 million, respectively. The aggregate fair
value amount of assets that are already posted as cash collateral as of March 31, 2022 and 2023 is ¥99,718 million and ¥111,249 million, respectively. 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 ¥12,623 million as of March 31, 2023. See Note 22 for details.

The methods and assumptions for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities are as follows:

3/9/25, 2:10 PM Annual Report
(ii) Trade accounts and other receivables and Trade accounts and other payables -
These receivables and payables are carried at amounts which approximate fair value due to their short duration.
As unobservable inputs are utilized, the fair value of receivables related to financial services is classified as Level 3.
Public and corporate bonds include government bonds. Japanese bonds and foreign bonds, including U.S., European and other bonds, represent
26% and 74% (as of March 31, 2022) and 30% and 70% (as of March 31, 2023) of public and corporate bonds, respectively. Toyota primarily uses
quoted market prices for identical assets to measure the fair value of these securities.
(Stocks)
Listed stocks on the Japanese stock markets represent 85% (as of March 31, 2022) and 86% (as of March 31, 2023) of stocks that Toyota holds.
Toyota primarily uses quoted market prices for identical assets to measure fair value of these securities. Therefore, stocks with an active market are
classified as Level 1.
Fair value of stocks with no active market is measured by using the market approach or other appropriate methods. Therefore, stocks with no
active market are thus classified as Level 3.
Price book-value ratios (“PBR”) of comparable companies, discount ratios of discounted cash flow valuation method and others are the significant
unobservable inputs relating to the fair value measurement of stocks classified as Level 3. The fair value increases (decreases) as PBR of a comparable
company rises (declines) or the discount rate declines (rises). The estimated increase or decrease in fair value of stocks if the unobservable inputs were
to be replaced by other reasonable alternative assumptions are not significant.

These estimates are based on valuation methods that are considered appropriate in each case. The significant assumptions involved in the
estimations include the financial condition and future prospects and trends of the investees and the outcome of the referenced transactions. Due to the
uncertain nature of these assumptions or by using different assumptions and estimates, the fair value may be impacted materially.
The shares classified as Level 3 are measured by the responsible department using quarterly available information in accordance with Toyota’s
consolidated financial accounting policies and reported to the supervisors along with the basis of the change in fair value.
The fair values of the Loans Based on Securitization are primarily 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. In cases where these valuations utilize unobservable inputs, the fair value of the Loans Based on Securitization is
classified as Level 3.

3/9/25, 2:10 PM Annual Report
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, TMC 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 retirement. Employees receive additional benefits upon involuntary retirement, including retirement at the age limit.
Effective October 1, 2005, TMC 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.
TMC 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.
These post-employment benefit plans are exposed to general investment risk, interest rate risk and inflation risk.

TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
Pension costs and defined benefit obligations are dependent on assumptions used in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include discount
rates, retirement rate, salary increase rate, mortality rates and other factors. While management believes that the assumptions used are appropriate,
differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect Toyota’s pension costs and obligations.
The most critical assumption impacting the calculation of pension costs and defined benefit obligations is the discount rates. Toyota determines
the discount rates mainly based on the rates of high quality fixed income bonds currently available and expected to be available during the period to
maturity of the defined benefit pension plans.
Toyota uses a March 31 measurement date for its post-employment benefit plans.

Toyota is named as a defendant in an economic loss class action lawsuit in Australia in which damages are claimed on the basis that diesel
particulate filters in certain vehicle models are defective. Toyota received an unfavourable judgment both in the primary court on April 7, 2022 and in
the appeal court on March 27, 2023. The judgments included a finding that there was a perceived reduction in vehicle value of certain vehicle models.
Toyota disagrees with the judgments and has filed an application for a further appeal. Other claims of economic loss in this class action lawsuit continue
to be litigated at the court of first instance. In estimating the provision we should record in the consolidated financial statements as a result of the
aforementioned judgments, Toyota has considered various factors including the legal and factual circumstances of the case, the contents of the
judgements, and the views of legal counsel. The currently estimated probable economic outflow related to the class action is immaterial to Toyota’s
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. At this stage, however, the final outcome and therefore ultimate financial liability
for Toyota on account of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty.
In April 2020, Toyota reported possible anti-bribery violations related to a Thai subsidiary to the SEC and the Department of Justice (“DOJ”), and
is cooperating with their investigations. Investigations by governmental authorities related to these matters could result in the imposition of civil or
criminal penalties, fines or other sanctions, or litigation. Toyota cannot predict the scope, duration or outcome of these matters at this time.
Toyota also has various other pending legal actions and claims, including without limitation personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits and
claims in the United States, as well as intellectual property litigation, and is subject to government investigations from time to time.
Beyond the amounts accrued with respect to all aforementioned matters, Toyota is unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss, if any,
for the pending legal matters because (i) many of the proceedings are in evidence gathering stages, (ii) significant factual issues need to be resolved,
(iii) the legal theory or nature of the claims is unclear, (iv) the outcome of future motions or appeals is unknown and/or (v) the outcomes of other matters
of these types vary widely and do not appear sufficiently similar to offer meaningful guidance. Therefore, for all of the aforementioned matters, which
Toyota is in discussions to resolve, any losses that are beyond the amounts accrued could have an adverse effect on Toyota’s financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

The creditors of these entities do not have recourse to Toyota’s general credit with the exception of debts guaranteed by Toyota. 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.
Toyota has equity in investment trusts and other special purpose entities. With respect to some of the investment trusts, Toyota has both the
obligation to absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the investment trusts that could potentially be significant to the investment trusts and
the power to direct the activities of the investment trusts that most significantly impact the investment trusts’ economic performance through the asset
manager. Therefore, Toyota has consolidated them.
Related to securitization transactions, ¥3,367,601 million and ¥5,037,203 million receivables related to financial services, ¥3,882,623 million and
¥5,245,195 million secured debt were included in Toyota’s consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.
