CAUTIONARY STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Written forward-looking statements may appear in documents filed with the SEC, including this annual report, documents incorporated by reference, reports to shareholders and other communications.

The U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking information to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves without fear of litigation so long as the information is identified as forward-looking and is accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the information. Toyota relies on this safe harbor in making forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this annual report and include statements regarding Toyota’s current intent, belief, targets or expectations or those of its management. In many, but not all cases, words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “hope,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “probability,” “risk,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions, are used as they relate to Toyota or its management, to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect Toyota’s current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those which are anticipated, aimed at, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or forecasts contained in the forward- looking statements are identified in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this annual report, and include, among others:

(i) changes in economic conditions, market demand, and the competitive environment affecting the automotive markets in Japan, North America, Europe, Asia and other markets in which Toyota operates;

(ii) fluctuations in currency exchange rates (particularly with respect to the value of the Japanese yen, the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar and the British pound), stock prices and interest rates;

(iii) changes in funding environment in financial markets and increased competition in the financial services industry;

(iv) Toyota’s ability to market and distribute effectively;

Table of Contents

(v) Toyota’s ability to realize production efficiencies and to implement capital expenditures at the levels and times planned by management;

Industry and Business Risks

The worldwide automotive market is highly competitive.

The worldwide automotive market is highly competitive. Toyota faces intense competition from automotive manufacturers in the markets in which it operates. In recent years, competition in the automotive industry has further intensified amidst difficult overall market conditions. In addition, competition is likely to further intensify as technological advances in areas such as Connected, Autonomous / Automated, Shared, and Electric (“CASE”) technologies progress in the worldwide automotive industry, possibly resulting in industry reorganizations. Factors affecting competition include product quality and features, safety, reliability, fuel economy, the amount of time required for innovation and development, pricing, customer service, financing terms and tax credits or other government policies in various countries. Increased competition may lead to lower vehicle unit sales, which may result in a further downward price pressure and adversely affect Toyota’s financial condition and results of operations. Toyota’s ability to adequately respond to the recent rapid changes in the automotive market, particularly shifts in consumer preferences to electrified vehicles, and to maintain its competitiveness will be fundamental to its future success in existing and new markets and to maintain its market share. There can be no assurances that Toyota will be able to compete successfully in the future.

The worldwide automotive industry is highly volatile.

Each of the markets in which Toyota competes has been subject to considerable volatility in demand. Demand for vehicles depends to a large extent on economic, social and political conditions in a given market and the introduction of new vehicles and technologies. As Toyota’s revenues are derived from sales in markets worldwide, economic conditions in such markets are particularly important to Toyota.

Reviewing the world economy for fiscal 2024, it remained steady mainly in the U.S., where employment stayed strong, despite the effects of high inflation and interest rates and a stagnant real estate market in China. The automotive market grew significantly from the previous year, thanks to a surge of

pent-up

demand as semiconductor supply constraints eased. Changes in demand for automobiles are continuing, and it is unclear

Table of Contents

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 and vehicle features, 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 Toyota, 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. For instance, at the consolidated subsidiary level, Hino Motors, Ltd. (“Hino”) and Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. (“Daihatsu”) announced vehicle model certification issues in March 2022 and in April 2023, respectively. In addition, Toyota Motor Corporation investigated certain of its model certification applications as per instructions from the

Table of Contents

Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan (“MLIT”) on January 26, 2024. Toyota Motor Corporation has confirmed that since 2014 seven models, including some that have already been discontinued, were tested as part of such applications using methods that differed from government standards, and it reported this to MLIT on May 31, 2024. 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 Toyota, the Toyota Group or their 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.

The worldwide financial services industry is highly competitive.

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

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

Table of Contents

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, cyberattacks 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, in addition to large-scale disasters due to extreme weather conditions. the increase and intensification of severe weather events such as heat waves is expected to increase the risk of heat stroke and water shortages due to drought. Such severe weather events and other natural 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 and other events 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 within expected costs.

Table of Contents

In particular, progress toward achieving Toyota’s climate-related targets requires significant investment of resources and management time, as well as further improvement of compliance and risk management systems, 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.

Financial Market and Economic Risks

Toyota’s operations are subject to currency and interest rate fluctuations.

Toyota is sensitive to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and is principally exposed to fluctuations in the value of the Japanese yen, the U.S. dollar and the euro and, to a lesser extent, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar and the British pound. Toyota’s consolidated financial statements, which are presented in Japanese yen, are affected by foreign currency exchange fluctuations through translation risk, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates may also affect the price of products sold and materials purchased by Toyota in foreign currencies through transaction risk. In particular, strengthening of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar can have an adverse effect on Toyota’s operating results.

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 if Toyota is not able to pass all those costs on to its customers.

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,

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.

Regulatory, Legal, Political and Other Risks

The automotive industry is subject to various governmental regulations and actions.

The worldwide automotive industry is subject to various laws and governmental regulations including those related to vehicle safety and environmental matters such as emission levels, fuel economy, noise and pollution. In particular, automotive manufacturers such as Toyota are required to implement safety measures such as recalls for vehicles that do not or may not comply with the safety standards of laws and governmental regulations. In addition, Toyota may, in order to reassure its customers of the safety of Toyota’s vehicles, decide to voluntarily implement sales suspensions, recalls or other safety measures even if the vehicle complies with the safety standards of relevant laws and governmental regulations. If Toyota launches products that result in safety measures such as recalls (including where parts related to recalls or other measures were procured by Toyota from a third party), Toyota may incur various costs including significant costs for free repairs. Similarly, many governments also impose tariffs and other trade barriers, taxes and levies, or enact price or exchange controls. Furthermore, the failure to comply with such regulations could result in legal proceedings, recalls, negotiated remedial actions, fines, corrective orders, revocations of government approvals and the imposition of other government sanctions, restricted product offerings, compensatory payments or adverse consequences. Toyota has incurred significant costs in response to governmental regulations and actions, including costs relating to changes in global trade dynamics and policies, and expects to incur such costs in the future. Furthermore, new legislation or regulations or changes in existing legislation or regulations may also subject Toyota to additional costs in the future. If Toyota incurs significant costs related to implementing safety measures or responding to laws, regulations and governmental actions, Toyota’s financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Toyota may become subject to various legal proceedings.

Toyota may become subject to legal proceedings in respect of various issues, including issues relating to the topics discussed in “— The automotive industry is subject to various governmental regulations and actions,” as well as product liability and infringement of intellectual property. Toyota may also be subject to legal proceedings brought by its shareholders and governmental proceedings and investigations. Toyota is in fact currently subject to a number of pending legal proceedings and government investigations. A negative outcome in one or more of these pending legal proceedings could adversely affect Toyota’s reputation, brand image, financial condition and results of operations. For a further discussion of governmental regulations, see “Item 4. Information on the Company — 4B. Business Overview — Governmental Regulation, Environmental and Safety Standards” and for legal proceedings, please see “Item 4. Information on the Company — 4B. Business Overview — Legal Proceedings.”

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 and supplies for the manufacture of Toyota products or in which Toyota’s products are produced, distributed or sold be affected by any of these events, it may result in future disruptions, delays and other adverse changes in the operations of Toyota’s business.

During fiscal 2024, 21.1% of Toyota’s automobile unit sales on a consolidated basis were in Japan, 29.8% were in North America, 12.6% were in Europe and 19.1% were in Asia. The remaining 17.3% of consolidated unit sales were in other markets.

The Worldwide Automotive Market

Toyota estimates that annual worldwide vehicle sales totaled approximately 89 million units in 2023.

Automobile sales are affected by a number of factors including:

•

social, political and economic conditions;

•

introduction of new vehicles and technologies;

•

vehicle prices, costs incurred by customers to purchase and operate automobiles; and

•

the availability of parts and components that Toyota needs to manufacture its products.

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 2024, it remained steady mainly in the U.S., where consumption stayed strong, and in emerging economies, where economy was recovering due to the normalization from the economic effects of the

COVID-19

pandemic. In contrast, China stagnated due to the sluggish real estate market.

The automotive market expanded significantly from the previous year, thanks to a surge of

pent-up

demand as semiconductor supply constraints eased. Although the automotive market in some countries experienced a downturn due to slowing real demand and a deteriorating loan environment, the global market expanded by 9% year over 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. In Europe, inflation and high interest rates continued, and as a consequence, the economy was sluggish. In Japan, consumption stagnated due to the impact of inflation. In China, although the economy recovered from the impact of its

zero-coronavirus

policy, the economic growth was slow due to the sluggish real estate market. In emerging countries such as India, the economy grew strongly mainly in terms of domestic demand.

Amid this environment, the automotive market expanded significantly by 9% compared to the previous year in 2023.

Table of Contents

In North America, new vehicle sales were approximately 18.70 million units, an increase from the previous year. In Europe, new vehicle sales also increased from the previous year at approximately 17.40 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 slightly decreased from the previous year to approximately 10.70 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), 20% for Europe and 12% for Asia. In China, new vehicle sales increased from the previous year to approximately 26.00 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.

Table of Contents

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.

Toyota Production System (“TPS”)

TPS is imbued with the desire of Sakichi Toyoda, the founder of the Toyota Group, and Kiichiro Toyoda, the founder, “to make someone’s work easier.”

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. Toyota has introduced TPS into development departments and administrative departments. Toyota applies TPS to its development departments 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 Toyota 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.”

Table of Contents

Aiming for the Future

We aim to transform into a mobility company. Toyota’s mission is “Producing happiness for all.” For cars to continue being a necessary part of society, we need to change the future of the car. For that, there are two major themes, “carbon neutrality” and “expanding the value of mobility.”

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 approach, 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 CO

emissions while leaving no one behind, including in emerging markets. Through this

all-direction

approach, we aim to reduce average CO

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.

Expanding the Value of Mobility

The cars of the future will become more connected to society as they become more electrified, intelligent, and diversified. In addition to moving people’s hearts and emotions and moving people and goods, we will gather the movements of energy and information and link them together as one through data. By doing so, we will be able to provide seamless mobility experiences that are connected with other mobilities, as well as provide new value for cars as part of the social infrastructure. Cars connected to society will also be closely connected to various services that support people’s daily lives, such as telecommunications and finance, expanding the circle of new value-added services centered on mobility.

Toyota Mobility Concept

We have developed “Toyota Mobility Concept” as our vision of the mobility society that we are aiming for. Evolving the car to be more useful to society based on its essential values that have been cultivated over time, such as safety, security, and being fun to drive—to strive toward such a future, we will continue our transformation into a mobility company in following three domains.

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

Table of Contents

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 CO

-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 have plans for 2026 to release next-generation BEVs entirely different from those of today – BEVs created by carmakers. This new generation of BEVs will double driving range by compared to that of the current bZ4X using batteries with greater efficiency while also offering design and driving performance to set hearts racing.

In addition, by drawing on the strengths of 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 created a new specialized unit in May 2023 to develop BEVs. Working under a single leader entrusted with full authority, this

all-in-one

team will handle every function, from development to production and business operation. Supporting this is our competitiveness in such areas as

per-unit

development cost and investment in

in-house

production, both of which have been halved by the Toyota New Global Architecture (“TNGA”) as compared to those before the adoption of TNGA. We will provide the team with comprehensive support through the power of our

10-million-unit-strong

sales and revenue base.

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.

Table of Contents

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. Taking advantage of these strengths, we plan to work with business operators to promote FCEVs by starting with commercial vehicles, such as medium- to heavy-duty trucks. Additionally, in 2022 we started basic research on hydrogen engines for heavy-duty commercial vehicles.

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. In 2023, we commenced 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 started installing this system in vehicles in 2023.

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 CO

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 CO

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.

Table of Contents

In developed countries, in parallel with the preparation of next generation BEVs, we will significantly expand our product lineup, focusing on the bZ series with refined performance. 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 debuted new BEV models, the bZ3C and the bZ3X, locally developed and fit to the local needs, at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition in April 2024, and we plan to launch them in China within a year. We plan to continue to increase the number of models in the following years. In Asia and other emerging markets, we commenced local production of BEV pickup trucks in 2023 and plan to launch a compact BEV model to respond to the growing demand for BEVs. 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 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. In Thailand, we started collaborations with Charoen Pokphand and the Siam Cement Group. 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.

Let’s Change the Future of Cars!

No matter how times change, Toyota is a company that manages by way of its products. And we are a company that intends to produce happiness for all by responding to the diversification of its customers and societies around the world. There is a future mobility society that Toyota in particular can aim for because it has refined the strength of its full lineups worldwide.

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.

Implementation of Transformation into a Mobility Company

Toyota is taking on the challenge of transforming into a mobility company with the mission of “producing happiness for all.” We are now accelerating practical efforts to give concrete form to our vision, based on a solid management foundation in products, operations, and finances that have been established over the years.

Table of Contents

As part of those efforts, in the past year, we have been working to implement our multi-pathway strategy. We believe that achieving a carbon-neutral society requires a multifaceted approach and practical transition that considers customer expectations, infrastructure development, and other factors.

Based on that, we are currently expanding options around the world, centering on hybrid vehicles. Further, we have been working hard to materialize BEVs, which were our missing piece, and hydrogen mobility.

Regarding BEVs, our venture to create a new car architecture is progressing, including the development of compact and lightweight power units. It has also been established that the BEV we are aiming for is not only an electrified powertrain but also a “software-defined vehicle (“SDVs”)” that is unique to Toyota and realizes a variety of mobility values for customers.

In addition, we are also developing internal combustion engines with a view toward their future utilization.

In looking at the overall picture of these options, we have positioned this year as “our first truly multi-pathway year” and are steadily moving toward materializing the various paths.

Our multi-pathway approach includes building a foundation for SDVs centering on the development of our

on-vehicle

operating system, Arene. Going forward, we believe that generative AI will enhance data-created value. We intend to pursue a generative

AI-facilitated

evolution of mobility, with a focus on automated driving that provides safety and security and on SDVs. Furthermore, we believe that creating mobility value that is integrated with social systems based on energy and data requires collaboration with many colleagues, including in the infrastructure development field.

It will also require that applications and services that are close to our daily lives be more integrated with cars, which we aim to accomplish with Arene as the foundation. Together with like-minded partners, we will continue our efforts to materialize the value of mobility. To strengthen the creation of such new value, we will accelerate our forward shift in research and development and strengthen “planting seeds for the future” from a medium- to long-term perspective.

Constructing a

“10-year

Work Overview”

Group Vision and Work Foundation

In January 2024, we announced the direction the Toyota Group should take and a vision to which all Toyota Group members can return.

“Inventing our path forward, together.”

Sakichi Toyoda, the founder of the Toyota Group, invented the Toyoda wooden hand loom with the desire to make life a little easier for his struggling mother. Kiichiro Toyoda invented the domestically produced passenger car with the idea that the automobile industry must be developed by the knowledge and skills of Japanese people. Thinking of others, learning, honing skills, making things, and bringing smiles to people’s faces—that passion and attitude toward invention are truly the starting point of the Toyota Group.

Table of Contents

In a time when there is no right answer, we will build a corporate culture in which we can say “thank you” to each other and aim to be a Toyota Group that is needed in the future, where diverse human resources can play an active role.

Recently, the Toyota Group and its subsidiaries, including Hino Motors in March 2022 and Daihatsu Motor in April 2023, have been found to be involved in a series of irregularities. We are also facing various issues caused by the lack of reserve capacity. Confronting these issues

head-on

and striving to strengthen our work foundation is paramount in achieving long-term business stability.

To ensure that work is done correctly, we believe that—like quality control in manufacturing—the two concepts of “incidence prevention” and “spillover prevention” are important. Incidence prevention is an initiative to create a corporate culture in which everyone works correctly based on values and rules, with doing it the Toyota way serving as our foundation. This is an initiative to change people’s attitudes over time, and we believe it is important for top management to repeatedly demonstrate the vision and values, and to continue communicating them to the

genba

(frontlines) through their own actions.

For spillover prevention, we will review our certification organization to enhance checks and balances on the development function and create a system and structure, such as TPS self-study activities (that is, activities to voluntarily learn and practice TPS) of the certification process, to stop action immediately in the event of any unforeseen events. We will pursue effective governance in the Toyota way through comprehensive measures in terms of corporate culture, mechanisms, and systems.

Our Awareness of and Involvement in the Certification Irregularities

As we move forward with our efforts, the following actions will be taken in response to the certification irregularities involving Daihatsu, Hino, and Toyota Industries Corporation (“Toyota Industries”). The root cause common to the irregularities at these three companies was a disconnect between management and the

genba

(frontlines). Excessive pressure placed on workplaces led to a lack of leeway and stifled communication, resulting in a weakened awareness of legal compliance and irregularities becoming routine. Management failed to grasp the reality of workplaces and did not change the environments that gave rise to irregularities.

The management teams were responsible for what happened. The management teams at the time at all three companies clarified their responsibilities by investigating the irregularities, establishing measures to prevent recurrence, charting the next courses of action, returning bonuses, and accepting reduced compensation. Under the new management team, we will support the three companies in thoroughly preventing recurrence and fulfilling their responsibilities for the future.

Regarding Daihatsu, more than 50 Toyota members have joined the workplaces concerned, working with them to review regulations in various countries and technical drawings, as well as to conduct retests. Since the Independent Third-Party Committee’s investigation report in December 2023, management members of Daihatsu and Toyota have been meeting almost daily to discuss recurrence-prevention measures and review business schemes.

As one action to prevent recurrence, we plan to change the arrangement for compact cars to one of outsourcing from Toyota, into a system in which Toyota will be responsible for everything from development to certification, including resource management. Toyota and Daihatsu will work together to ensure that correct work takes root in workplaces, including certification work that is in line with laws and regulations.

Regarding Hino, since the irregularities were revealed, we have been discussing issues to prevent recurrence and rebuild the company, focusing on how business should be conducted. Currently, as announced in the basic agreement in May 2023, we are proceeding with the rebuilding through a business integration with Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation, in collaboration with Daimler Truck Holding AG. As Hino’s parent company, we will continue to provide support.

Table of Contents

As for Toyota Industries, although our capital relationship with it differs from those with our subsidiaries Daihatsu and Hino, as it is a member of the Toyota Group, we will provide it with the necessary support to prevent recurrence. As part of that, we will transfer the development and certification of automobile engines to Toyota. We are also creating an open relationship among top management and increasing the amount of daily communication.

Corporate Culture, Mechanisms, and Systems

The governance measures of Toyota and the Toyota Group, with the participation of outside directors and Audit & Supervisory Board Members, are summarized below.

(Corporate culture: Group vision)

The foundation for creating a corporate culture is the Toyota Group’s vision and attitudes. Through such platforms as the Akio Toyoda’s

Juku

(roundtable with employees), we engage in numerous dialogues with our

genba

(frontlines) members to ensure that our vision and values are instilled in them. Recently, Chairman Toyoda attended a gathering of Daihatsu dealership representatives and spoke about the values to uphold and his thoughts on Daihatsu’s revitalization.

To change the corporate culture, top management plan to repeatedly engage in such dialogue.

As part of our efforts to build appropriate corporate cultures, we are also increasing the amount of communication among management members through occasions such as president meetings and executive vice president meetings of members of Toyota and the Toyota Group. It is believed that the foundation of group governance is to build relationships in which members of top management can communicate openly with each other daily.

Table of Contents

(Mechanism: Reserve capacity)

Toyota is currently prioritizing the creation of “reserve capacity”. For example, in production, we lowered the maximum daily production volume from the originally planned 14,500 units to 14,000 units. In development, we optimized the number of projects by reviewing priorities and creating more capacity onsite.

This will allow us to devote much time to improving workplace communication, ensuring safety and quality in our work, improving individual skills based on job descriptions, developing a skilled workforce, and implementing other enhancements.

We are promoting these initiatives company-wide with the idea of establishing today how we will work in 10 years.

(Mechanism/System: Strengthening internal control and risk management of subsidiaries)

Also, by encouraging the top management of each company, we are strengthening our subsidiaries’ internal control systems.

For example, Daihatsu’s new Governance, Risk and Compliance Management Division and GRC* Committee were established as Daihatsu and Toyota jointly considered measures to prevent recurrence, and we will work together with them to ensure effective operations. Additionally, to expand the legal certification system, which was a particular issue this time, workplace members of Daihatsu, Hino, and Toyota Industries are gathering through TPS self-study activities to clarify their business processes.

*	Governance Risk Management and Compliance.

Table of Contents

(System: Speak Up)

When it comes to internal reporting, we have unified the operation of our Speak Up system for raising the alarm for Toyota (internal) and externally (subsidiaries, Toyota Group, etc.), so that we will be able to respond to them more promptly than ever.

(System: Auditing expansion)

Toyota will also expand its auditing of subsidiaries.

Based on risk assessments, we plan to expand the number of subject companies and conduct audits from multiple perspectives, including corporate culture, workplace environment, and legal compliance.

In addition to audits, we have rolled out such tools as governance inspection check sheets and compliance surveys to all subsidiaries to encourage self-inspection with the involvement of top management.

Through these comprehensive measures, we will strive to improve consolidated governance.

As we keep the Toyota way as our foundation, we want to tenaciously strive—based on a desire to link our actions today to our competitiveness 10 years from now—to create environments that ensure that all employees do correct work.

Toyota Motor Corporation investigated certain of its model certification applications as per instructions from MLIT on January 26, 2024. Although the investigation is still in progress, it has confirmed that since 2014 seven models, including some that have already been discontinued, were tested as part of such applications using methods that differed from government standards, and it reported this to MLIT on May 31, 2024. The model certification applications in question involve three models currently in production (Corolla Axio, Corolla Fielder, and Yaris Cross) and four discontinued models (Crown, Isis, Sienta, and RX).

We take it seriously that the problem was discovered at Toyota Motor Corporation following the recent discovery of certification issues at Hino, Daihatsu and Toyota Industries. We will continue the investigation and take appropriate action, including conducting testing in the presence of third parties, under the guidance of MLIT.

Toyota is a company that is close to its local customers and practices product-centered management. Without wavering from this starting point, we will work hard together to create good cars that bring our customers smile. And with the slogan “Let’s change the future of cars,” we will accelerate our challenge of creating a mobility society together with many partners.

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 51.1% in fiscal 2022, 51.1% in fiscal 2023 and 51.8% in fiscal 2024.

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.

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. Further, in October 2023, Toyota decided to additionally invest in TBMNC and announced its plan to further strengthen production capability of BEV batteries and production of PHEV batteries. Toyota plans to sequentially add eight new battery production lines, with the aim of creating a total of ten BEV/PHEV battery lines, enabling the production of a total of more than 30GWh annually.

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.

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, RAV4, bZ4X and bZ3 and the joint venture with Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd. manufactures models such as the Camry, Levin, Highlander and bZ4X.

Total vehicle sales in the Chinese market were 25.99 million vehicles in 2023, 105.6% of that of 2022, and 24.62 million vehicles in 2022, 97.8% of that of 2021. In this market, Toyota’s sales were 1.90 million vehicles in 2023, 98.3% of that of 2022, and 1.94 million vehicles in 2022, 100.0% of that of 2021. In the domestically produced passenger vehicle market in mainland China (22.71 million vehicles), Toyota had a market share of 8.4%. 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 seeks to 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.

Distribution

Toyota’s automotive sales distribution network is the largest in Japan. As of March 31, 2024, this network consisted of 236 dealers employing approximately 110 thousand personnel and operating approximately 4.5 thousand sales and service outlets. TOYOTA Mobility Tokyo Inc. is the only dealer owned by Toyota and the rest are independent.

Table of Contents

Toyota believes that this extensive sales network of independent local interests has been an important factor in its success in the Japanese market. A large number of the cars sold in Japan are purchased from salespersons 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, 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 187

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, 2024.


	Dealers
Channel	Toyota Owned	Independent	Outlets
Toyota brand	1 company	232 companies	4,353 outlets
Lexus brand	23 outlets	164 outlets	187 outlets

Outside Japan, Toyota vehicles are sold through approximately 168 distributors in approximately 204 countries and regions. Through these distributors, Toyota maintains networks of dealers. The chart below shows the number of Toyota distributors as of March 31, 2024 by country and region:

Multi-pathway Strategy — Overview

The push for carbon neutrality is a matter of urgency if cars are to remain a necessary part of society. Providing our customers around the world with options for mobility under our multi-pathway strategy while also promoting the decarbonization of our monozukuri (manufacturing) and supply chains serves as the core of our activities.

Considering ways in which mobility takes into account the future of energy is important. The strategy’s basic premise is that we need to move away from fossil fuels from the perspective of the global environment and sustainability. Furthermore, over the medium- to long- term, renewable energy sources will continue to proliferate, with electricity and hydrogen emerging as the primary energy sources sustaining society. In the short term, however, it is critical to acknowledge global realities and implement changes in practical ways that maintain energy security.

This is precisely why we are committed to providing mobility options that are in tune with a diverse range of energy situations and customer needs, while also keeping an eye on the future of electricity and hydrogen. In short, the underlying concept of our multi-pathway strategy is to focus on promoting practical transition even as we pursue carbon neutrality.

BEV Strategies

On December 14, 2021, Toyota held a briefing on its BEV strategy where it announced that it would be boosting its annual BEV sales baseline in 2030 from 2 million to 3.5 million units.

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.

Plans for the release of BEVs in each region are as follows.


Developed countries		In parallel with the preparation of a next-generation BEVs 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 debuted new BEV models, the bZ3C and the bZ3X, locally developed and fit to local needs, in April 2024, and Toyota plans to continue increase the number of models in the following years.
Asia and other emerging markets (Global South)		In order to respond to the growing demand for BEVs, Toyota started local production of BEV pickup trucks by the end of 2023 and plans to 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

Table of Contents

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. If we successfully achieve the annual BEV sales baseline of 3.5 million for 2030, we plan to prepare providing 1.7 million units out of the 3.5 million overall BEV unit baseline from the 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.

The battery is the heart of the BEV. Just as the heart pumps blood through the body, the battery transfers electricity to the vehicle. As Toyota advances its efforts toward introducing next-generation BEVs in 2026, it is also evolving batteries with new technologies to meet customer expectations.

Liquid

lithium-ion

batteries, which are currently the mainstream, will gain enhanced performance through improvement to the energy density of prismatic batteries, an area in which Toyota has longstanding expertise. In addition, by using the bipolar battery structure developed for HEVs in BEVs, we will expand our lineup to provide customers with a variety of options, from

low-cost

batteries for popularization to batteries optimized for maximum performance.

Furthermore,

all-solid-state

batteries, which are highly anticipated as game-changers, are finally approaching the phase of practical application for use in BEVs. Our full lineup of competitive batteries will support the evolution of Toyota’s BEVs in the future.

The performance version next-generation battery is being developed with Prime Planet Energy & Solutions Corporation, while the popularization and high-performance versions of the next-generation battery, high-performance versions of the bipolar

lithium-ion

battery, and

all-solid-state

battery for BEVs are being developed with Toyota Industries, combining the knowledge of the Toyota Group.

In May 2023, Toyota announced that it intends to invest roughly 5 trillion yen investment in BEV production, additional battery plants, and research and development expenses through 2030.

Liquid

Lithium-ion

Battery Development

1. Next-generation Batteries: Performance Version

We aim for the next-generation BEVs to be introduced in 2026 to have a cruising range of 1,000 km.* For such cars, we are developing a performance-oriented rectangular battery to expand the degree of freedom in vehicle design. While increasing the energy density of the battery, we also aim to extend cruising range by improving vehicle efficiencies, such as aerodynamics and weight reduction, while at the same time reducing costs by 20% compared with the current bZ4X and achieving a quick charge time of 20 minutes or less

(state-of-charge

(“SOC”) =10–80%).

2. Next-generation Batteries: Popularization Version

Toyota is also developing good,

low-cost

liquid lithium batteries that will contribute to the widespread use of BEVs to provide customers with a variety of battery options. Bipolar structure batteries, which have been used in the Aqua and Crown hybrid vehicles, are now being applied to BEVs. These batteries use inexpensive lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and are expected to be commercialized in 2026–2027. We are aiming for a 20% increase in cruising range* and 40% reduction in cost compared with the current bZ4X, as well as quick recharging in 30 minutes or less (SOC=10–80%). We are also considering installing these batteries in BEVs in the popularization price range.

In a regular battery, individual current collectors are coated on both sides with either an anode or cathode, then paired to make a set. In contrast, every current collector in a bipolar configuration is coated with an anode on one side and a cathode on the other, making for a simpler structure that requires only

one-third

as many components. At the same time, material costs can be reduced by using LFP for the cathode in place of rare metals, such as nickel and cobalt. However, to make these batteries a reality, Toyota must overcome three difficulties: applying the material evenly, doing so at high speeds, and simultaneously sealing all the cells. Furthermore, all this needs to be achieved in batteries large enough to power a car.

In tackling these challenges, Toyota is drawing on 26 years of battery production technologies honed through its HEVs along with bipolar nickel-metal hydride battery technology and expertise, precision coating used for FCEVs, and various digital technologies. Using all of these together, we are advancing development toward mass production.

3. Bipolar

Lithium-ion

Battery: High-performance Version

The high-performance version of the battery combines the best aspects of both the performance and popularization versions. This battery combines a bipolar structure with a high-nickel cathode to achieve further advances. We expect an even greater performance than the performance version of the prismatic battery will be achieved along with a 10% increase in cruising range* and a 10% reduction in cost, as well as a quick charge time of 20 minutes or less (SOC=10–80%). We aim to commercialize this battery in 2027-2028.

(* Including vehicle efficiency improvements such as aerodynamics and weight reduction.)

Development of

All-solid-state

Batteries

All-solid-state

batteries have a solid electrolyte, allowing faster movement of ions and greater tolerance of high voltages and temperatures. It is hoped that this technology will result in increased power output, longer cruising range, and shorter charging times.

The tradeoff, meanwhile, is thought to be a shorter battery life. Solid electrolytes repeatedly expand and contract as the battery charges and discharges, which can create cracks in the solid-state battery that inhibit the

Table of Contents

movement of ions between the cathode and anode. Toyota has discovered a new technology that overcomes this issue. Aiming for commercialization in 2027–2028, Toyota continues to advance product development and the development of mass production methods.

In October 2023, Toyota announced a partnership with Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. (“Idemitsu”) to work toward the mass production of

all-solid-state

batteries for BEVs. Through the integration of materials development technologies of both companies, including Idemitsu’s materials manufacturing technologies and Toyota’s battery processing and assembly technologies honed in on electrified vehicle development, we both aim to realize the mass production of solid electrolytes and

all-solid-state

batteries that will be widely used by consumers.

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 established in July 2023 a new business unit called Hydrogen Factory, which is able to make rapid decisions under one leader, from sales to development and production, all at once. The Hydrogen Factory promotes business on three axes. The first is localizing R&D and production in countries within the major markets. We are working to accelerate our efforts by establishing local bases, mainly in Europe and China. The second is strengthening alliances with leading partners. We do our best to deliver affordable fuel cells to our customers by consolidating sufficient quantities through alliances. The third is competitiveness and technology. We are working 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.

Hydrogen is an important fuel in Toyota’s CO

emission reduction efforts aimed at achieving carbon neutrality. We are promoting its utilization to contribute to the creation of a hydrogen-powered society. Our efforts to this end include the development and demonstration of FCEVs, such as passenger cars and commercial trucks and buses, fuel cell stationary generators, and hydrogen engine vehicles with internal combustion engines. Through such initiatives, we are working with various industry partners in the areas of producing, transporting, and using hydrogen.

Fuel cell systems comprise stacks of circuits embedded in thin sheets, called the “cells,” that generate electricity through chemical reactions between oxygen and hydrogen. Toyota is developing innovative next-generation fuel cells that is expected to deliver industry-leading performance for commercial use (long life, low cost, and low fuel consumption).

Table of Contents

These next-generation cells, which we aim to commercialize in 2026, are expected to improve generating capacity by 30% compared with current fuel cells. On the durability front, FCEVs could stay on the road 2.5 times as long as standard diesel machines before requiring maintenance, making them virtually maintenance-free over the life of a vehicle. Compared with current cells, Toyota’s next-generation systems will also halve the cost of fabricating a stack and increase cruising range by 20%. This improvement will make it possible to drive from Tokyo to Osaka without refueling.

These next-generation cells reflect the expertise that Toyota has built up over 30 years: real-time measurement and analysis of the processes occurring within cells, simulations for nanoscale mapping of chemical reactions, and precision coating of the catalysts that drive these reactions. Toyota’s advanced technical capabilities help inhibit deterioration caused by corrosion and other factors, lowering the cost of materials needed for manufacturing.

To accelerate the expansion of hydrogen demand, we are taking on the standardization of tanks for large commercial vehicles, which are expected to consume hydrogen on a large scale. We aim to reduce manufacturing costs by 25% by unifying the tank standards of European, U.S., and Japanese companies in order to realize economies of scale. We are also developing liquid hydrogen tanks for large commercial vehicles.

By applying the fuel cell stack and cell technologies developed for the Mirai, we have developed a new electrolyzer that produces hydrogen by electrolyzing water. Trials of this electrolyzer began in March 2023 at the DENSO Fukushima plant. Furthermore, we have started an initiative to produce hydrogen from biogas derived from local chicken manure and food waste in Thailand in collaboration with Mitsubishi Kakoki Kaisha, Ltd. and Toyota Tsusho Corporation.

Development of Hydrogen Engines

In 2024, Toyota’s efforts to race a Corolla equipped with one of its hydrogen engines currently in development entered their fourth year. 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, hydrogen-engine vehicles emit almost no CO

when in operation—only that from the combustion of minute amounts of engine oil. The hydrogen engine 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 protecting engine-related jobs in the automotive industry.

In late 2020, after taking a test drive in a hydrogen engine prototype car, master driver Morizo (Chairman Akio Toyoda) 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.

In 2021 and 2022, Toyota raced a Corolla with a hydrogen engine that ran on gaseous hydrogen fuel. Building on these achievements, in the 2023 season, we have launched a world-first initiative to expand the options for producing, transporting and using hydrogen by employing liquid hydrogen fuel.

Switching to liquid hydrogen fuel increases the fuel’s volumetric energy density, approximately doubling the vehicle’s cruising range, which had been an issue with gaseous fuel. In addition, liquid hydrogen stations take up only a quarter of the space required to install a gaseous hydrogen station, enabling refueling in the pit itself.

The liquid hydrogen-powered Corolla was scheduled to compete for the first time at the Round Suzuka Super Taikyu 5 Hours Race in March 2023. However, during a private test run shortly before the race, a vehicle fire occurred due to a hydrogen leak from a gaseous hydrogen pipe in the engine compartment. The vehicle could not be repaired in time, and Toyota was forced to drop out of the race.

Table of Contents

Over the following two months, aiming to race in the Fuji 24 Hours Race, the design of the hydrogen piping that caused the vehicle fire was changed, with safety as the highest priority. As a result, a hydrogen engine-equipped Corolla completed the Fuji 24 Hours Race in May 2023. This achievement was made possible by agile development and improvement efforts advanced through motorsports with the support of our many partners.

Toyota could not have taken on this initiative with liquid hydrogen alone. A portion of the liquid hydrogen used in the hydrogen engine-equipped Corolla in the Fuji 24 Hours Race was lignite-derived hydrogen produced and transported from Australia in the Suiso Frontier liquid hydrogen carrier built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. as part of the HySTRA project. In addition, the mobile liquid hydrogen station used at the circuit was jointly developed by Iwatani Corporation and Toyota. Moreover, the switch to liquid hydrogen fuel required the modification of many parts. Through cooperation with our numerous partners, the liquid hydrogen-fueled Corolla successfully completed the race, and, as a result of such efforts, our number of partners has grown from eight companies in May 2021 to 45 companies by the end of the 2023 season.

Furthermore, the Corolla with the liquid hydrogen engine took part in Round 4: the Super Taikyu Race in Autopolis in July as well as Round 7: the

S-Tai

Final Fuji 4 Hours Race with Fuji Niq Festival in November. The maximum number of laps (cruising range) that may be driven with a single hydrogen supply rose from 16 to 20 in the six months between the May

24-hour

race at Fuji and the November final race at the same venue. Additionally, the vehicle weight was lowered by 90 kilograms. The mobile hydrogen station’s joints, which previously caused strain on operators while refueling, have become lighter, and the time needed to refuel has been cut down from one minute and forty seconds to about one minute. In these ways, both the vehicle and hydrogen station evolved significantly.

Toyota will continue to expand the possibilities of hydrogen engines. Aiming to create a carbon neutral world, we will continue to evolve alongside our partners in line with the principle of “ever-better car making from a starting point in motorsports” and our multi-pathway approach.

Toyota’s work on hydrogen engines is closely related to its work on conventional gasoline engines’ combustion technologies. Gasoline engines have up until now used rapid combustion to boost thermal efficiency and adjusted the

fuel-to-air

ratio based on the situation to minimize harmful compounds. Since hydrogen burns even more quickly than gasoline, ever-more-accurate combustion control and sophisticated analysis and simulation technologies are needed, which should result in even lower CO

and gasoline engine emissions.

Toyota plans to leverage the significantly shorter development timeframe in motorsports as opposed to mass production vehicles. We believe that this will enable Toyota to achieve carbon neutrality while utilizing internal combustion engines.

Software and Connected Initiatives

Toyota is committed to providing new value based on software for the realization of a mobility society. By seamlessly connect daily lives and cars as well as proposing and delivering experiences and services that are one step ahead of their expectations, we will alter lifestyles, transform mobility into excitement, and enrich our customers’ lives. Connecting people and cars, and social systems and cars, will create an ecosystem that becomes part of the social system, leading to the realization of well-being.

Arene OS is a software platform that accelerates such intelligence, providing applications that bring a comfortable riding experience through advanced safety technologies and infotainment in the

in-car

experience. This will be updated to reflect the changing times. Regarding the

out-car

experience, we will increase the value we offer via cross-industry collaboration with partners in housing, energy, logistics and other sectors serving as essential components of social systems.

Table of Contents

One of Toyota’s competitive advantages lies in its extensive global dealer network. By interacting directly with customers, we are able to gain a realistic understanding of the information and needs that are critical for a vehicle to add value. By combining that information and those needs with vehicle data, we create value the likes of which only Toyota can provide.

Efforts in Realizing a Safe Mobility Society

For Toyota to achieve its ultimate goal of eliminating traffic accident causalities, the development of safe vehicles is of course important, but it is also essential to educate people, including drivers and pedestrians, and to ensure safe traffic infrastructure, including traffic signals and roads. To achieve a safe mobility society, Toyota believes it will be important to implement an integrated three-part initiative involving people, vehicles, and the traffic environment, as well as to pursue real-world safety by learning from actual accidents and incorporating that knowledge into vehicle development. “Integrated Safety Management Concept” is Toyota’s basic philosophy behind its technologies for eliminating traffic casualties and is moving forward with development.

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 46 million vehicles globally as of March 2024. 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 144 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.

Commercial Sector Initiatives

In April 2021, Isuzu Motors Limited (“Isuzu”), Hino, and Toyota established Commercial Japan Partnership Technologies (CJPT), a new company, with the aim to accelerate the implementation and spread of CASE in society to help address various difficulties facing the transportation industry as well as help achieve a carbon-neutral society. Suzuki Motor Corporation (“Suzuki”) and Daihatsu joined the partnership in July 2021 (In October 2023, CJPT reinstated Hino Motors Ltd. as a partner.).

Distribution by truck accounts for the majority of overland logistics in Japan, and the transportation sector (including buses and taxis) involves a number of people. Commercial vehicles account for a significant proportion of the total distance traveled by automobiles and of all CO

emissions from automobiles in Japan. Furthermore, more than 60,000 logistics companies operating in Japan currently face numerous management issues, such as high-frequency distribution, harsh work environments, labor shortages, and rising operating costs. The power of CASE, centered on connected technologies and services, is a promising approach to effecting improvements that will help resolve these issues. Given the increasingly pressing circumstances surrounding carbon neutrality, CJPT seeks a wide range of like-minded partners, aiming to apply their diverse strengths for the sake of those supporting transportation and for society.

Table of Contents

Our efforts to achieve carbon neutrality center on two pillars: electrification and enhanced logistics efficiency. In the area of electrification, we will ambitiously work with more partners to find solutions to a variety of problems while giving customers more electrified vehicle options in accordance with their specific needs. We also aim to realize

just-in-time

logistics to improve transport efficiency and work to reduce CO

emissions by constructing a platform for commercial vehicles that links the partner companies and by leveraging one of the Toyota’s strengths—the TPS.

We are working with shippers and logistics companies in Fukushima Prefecture and Tokyo on the largescale social implementation of electric vehicles. A total of 580 vehicles will be used, including heavy and light-duty fuel cell electric trucks, and light-duty BEV trucks and mini-commercial vans, to comprehensively cover transportation from trunk lines to the last mile. As of the end of October 2023, over 50 electrified vehicles have hit the roads. In addition to promoting implementation in cities with populations of around 300,000, which are common in Japan, we will also work to develop standards for these vehicles and develop an energy management system that is integrated with operation management to lessen the social burden associated with the introduction and use of electric vehicles and address transportation-related issues. Furthermore, in a public-private initiative aimed at carbon neutrality, we have begun sharing data with national bodies promoting digital transformation for commercial vehicles. This includes data about electrified vehicles on the road, such as that on driving, batteries, charging and refueling with hydrogen.

The city of Fukuoka, Fukuoka Prefecture, has begun implementing FCEVs as garbage compactor trucks, ambulances, food delivery trucks, BRT buses, and other vehicles that support daily living, utilizing hydrogen stations operated by the city and other entities. Together with local communities, we are promoting the social implementation of these vehicles to make them more familiar to residents and enable their widespread use by more municipalities.

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 is expected to solve problems faced by the logistics industry, such as soaring logistics costs and driver shortages.

By combining the accumulated logistics expertise of AEON KYUSHU and AEON GLOBAL SCM with the connected technologies of the companies participating in CJPT, the project aims to establish new operations to improve efficiency by linking each process in the supply chain as well as to improve efficiency by minimizing cargo and operational stagnation (logistics downtime) through the use of strengths in big data and real-time processing on connected technology infrastructure, among other efforts. We are advancing these initiatives in collaboration with a wide range of partners. In particular, a demonstration project that began at AEON’s Minami-Osaka distribution center in 2022 has already begun expansion to actual operations and is producing results, such as improved loading efficiency of trucks. We have applied this model to the Kyushu region, where we have confirmed certain improvements. We will further expand the range of these efforts to such areas as wholesaling from manufacturers and distribution centers to build a total logistics improvement model. We will continue ambitiously pushing forward with logistics reforms by expanding the results of our efforts with AEON in Minami-Osaka and Kyushu to an even wider range of logistics sites.

CJPT reached an agreement with Charoen Pokphand Group (“CP”) and Siam Cement Group (“SCG”) in Thailand to promote carbon-neutral initiatives that are unique to Thailand utilizing the country’s resources. To contribute to the happiness of the 67 million people of Thailand, CJPT is promoting activities under the concept of “doing what can be done now, together with partners who share the same view.”

Along with CP and SCG, Toyota, Isuzu, Hino, Suzuki, and Daihatsu will participate in CJPT-Asia, which will be established to further promote initiatives in Thailand and accelerate efforts in the three areas of energy solutions, data solutions, and mobility solutions.

1. Energy Solutions: Use of renewable energy, such as hydrogen, and energy management

Table of Contents

2. Data Solutions: Enhancement of the efficiency of the logistics and transportation industry using connected technology to improve loading efficiency and optimize delivery routes

3. Mobility Solutions: Provision of a variety of solutions that meet Thailand’s diverse needs

We are accelerating our efforts, such as introducing heavy- and light-duty fuel cell trucks, the Hilux Revo e, the JPN Taxi

LPG-HEV,

and mini-commercial vans to the logistics and transportation industry from September 2023. In November, we also commenced pilot testing of hydrogen production from biogas at poultry farms and data-driven delivery efficiency enhancement.

Woven City

The Woven City project was first announced in January 2020. The initial building is set to be completed in summer 2024, with limited demonstration testing kicking off in 2025. Toyota and a variety of partners will work together, using Woven City, a city of test courses, to demonstrate cutting-edge technologies in such areas as automated driving, mobility as a service (MaaS), personal mobility, robotics, smart homes, and artificial intelligence (“AI”). Through these efforts, we aim to create new systems and services that will contribute to “well-being for all.” 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. While he was 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 test course that is woven into the fabric of daily life.

The name “Woven City” comes from Toyota’s origins in automatic looms. Toyota Group founder Sakichi Toyoda 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.

Woven City will be a kind of test course, enabling us to rapidly implement development and demonstration cycles for diverse forms of mobility in both the virtual and the real world. Both of these are essential—alone, neither the virtual nor the real is sufficient to quickly provide mobility in today’s diversified world. Guided by the three concepts of “human-centered,” “a living laboratory,” and the “ever-evolving city,” 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 demonstration testing that integrates the aspects of people, vehicles, and the traffic environment. Woven City will demonstrate technologies from logistics to energy and food as it grows into a test course conducive to the timely generation of new inventions that address social issues.

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. We will strive to invent the technologies and services that will become the future fabric of life by interweaving cars with social infrastructure to expand the mobility of people, goods, and information while inspiring excitement and moving people emotionally. This is the meaning of “expanding mobility” and the vision of Woven City. In this new city, Toyota aims to transform into a true mobility company.

Table of Contents

With our sights on commencing limited pilot testing in 2025, we will continue to reinforce collaboration among Toyota, each company of the Toyota Group, and our external partner companies. Through Woven City, we will work to realize the Toyota Mobility Concept.

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 ¥3,484.1 billion in fiscal 2024, ¥2,809.6 billion in fiscal 2023, and ¥2,324.0 billion in fiscal 2022. In fiscal 2024, Toyota’s business saw solid growth mainly due to new vehicle sales boosted by easing semiconductor supply relative to demand 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 0.30% and 0.40% in fiscal 2023 and 2024, respectively, due to the normalization of consumption activities from the

COVID-19

pandemic. 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;

•

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 ¥31,694.3 billion as of March 31, 2024, representing an increase of 27.9% as compared to the previous year. The majority of Toyota’s financial services are provided in North America. As of March 31, 2024, 57.1% of Toyota’s finance receivables were derived from financing operations in North America, 14.5% from Europe, 11.3% from Asia, 6.2% from Japan and 10.9% from other areas.

Approximately 40% of Toyota’s unit sales in the United States during fiscal 2024 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 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.

Other Financial Services

Toyota Finance Corporation launched its credit card business in April 2001 and began issuing Lexus credit cards in 2005 when the Lexus brand was introduced in Japan. As of March 31, 2024, Toyota Finance Corporation has 16.2 million card holders (including Lexus credit card holders).

All Other Operations

In addition to its automotive operations and financial services operations, Toyota is involved in a number of other

non-automotive

business activities. Sales revenues for these activities totaled ¥1,368.1 billion in fiscal 2024, ¥1,224.9 billion in fiscal 2023, and ¥1,129.8 billion in fiscal 2022.

Governmental Regulation, Environmental and Safety Standards

Toyota is required to comply with the regulations applicable to its products relating to the emission levels, fuel economy, noise, safety and so on. In addition, Toyota is subject to laws in various jurisdictions regulating the levels of pollutants generated by its plants. Toyota has incurred significant costs in complying with these laws and regulations and expects to incur significant compliance costs in the future. Toyota’s management views leadership in environmental protection as an important competitive factor in the marketplace.

International Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations

The World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (“WP.29”) of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (“UNECE”) has developed certain international rules and regulations such as the UN Regulations (“UNR”) under the 1958 Agreement and the Global Technical Regulations (“GTR”) under the 1998 Agreement and has been working to promote international harmonization of the technical prescriptions for the construction and approval of wheeled vehicles. The UNR has been adopted in jurisdictions such as Japan, EU and Russia, and each participating party’s type approvals are mutually recognized under the 1958 Agreement. The parties to the 1998 Agreement include the U.S., China and India in addition to Japan, the EU and Russia, and 24 Global Technical Regulations have been established to date. As the progress of the international harmonization of technical prescriptions will lead to the reduction of the variations in product specifications from country to country, it is expected to lead to greater efficiency in Toyota’s product development.

Table of Contents

Japan was elected as vice chair of WP.29 in November 2022 to lead discussions of international harmonization of vehicle regulations. This was the first time that a vice chair was elected from outside Europe.

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, more stringent regulations have been introduced to match the European Standards, as can be seen from, among other things, the strengthened regulations on particulate matters emitted from gasoline-fueled vehicles, the adoption of the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Cycle (“WLTC”) driving cycles and the introduction of the Real Driving Emission (“RDE”).

UN-R154

has also been adopted. The Noise Regulation Act and the Road Transport Vehicle Act provide for noise reduction standards on automobiles in Japan.

U.S. Federal Standards

The federal Clean Air Act directs the Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) to establish and enforce air quality standards, including emission control standards on passenger vehicles, light-duty trucks and heavy-duty vehicles. Manufacturers are not permitted to sell vehicles in the United States that do not meet the standards. In March 2014, the EPA finalized new “Tier 3” tailpipe emission and evaporative emission standards for passenger vehicles, light-duty trucks, medium-duty passenger vehicles and some heavy-duty vehicles. Under the rule, 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), 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 March 2024, the EPA announced a final rule for Tier 4 emission standards for passenger vehicles, light-duty trucks, medium-duty passenger vehicles and some heavy-duty vehicles from model year 2027 through 2032.

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

Table of Contents

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.

CARB also finalized the Advanced Clean Cars II (“ACC II”) regulations in November 2022. ACC II includes exhaust emissions standards for 2026 and subsequent model years, (known as the LEV IV regulations) that would further reduce emissions from light- and medium-duty vehicles. Additionally, ACC II includes an expanded ZEV mandate that increases the percentage of ZEV vehicles that manufacturers must sell in California. The new LEV IV regulations and expanded ZEV mandate apply to model years 2026 – 2035. Under the California Governor’s Order of 2020 (N 79 20), all new vehicles sold in California will be ZEVs by 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.

Other States’ Standards

Seventeen states (including Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington) have adopted regulations substantially similar to California’s LEV and ZEV requirements

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, FCEVs and PHEVs, among others. In November 2018, the premier of British Columbia announced that the government would introduce legislation concerning

zero-emission

vehicles (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 2023, Environment and Climate Change Canada decided to regulate

zero-emission

vehicles from model years 2026 to 2035, requiring 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.

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 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

Table of Contents

been tightened in terms of both subject parts and regulatory values. On January 1, 2019, an improved WLTP that purports to eliminate test flexibilities and introduces

on-board

fuel and energy consumption monitoring devices took effect. In March 2023, further regulations came into effect to harmonize requirements with UNR, tighten RDE regulations, and tighten the method for calculating CO

emissions for PHEVs.

On May 28, 2024, Euro 7, which further strengthens Euro 6, came into effect. The dates of application of the Euro 7 regulations depend on vehicle type. They will apply to new types of passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles from November 29, 2026, to new passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles from November 29, 2027, to new types of buses, trucks and trailers from May 29, 2028, and to new buses, lorries and trailers from May 29, 2029. The Euro 7 regulations maintain the Euro 6 exhaust emission limits for passenger vehicles, lowers exhaust emission limits for buses and trucks (e.g., stricter particulate matter count regulations), sets brake particle emissions for passenger vehicles, and introduces minimum performance requirements for battery durability in electric and hybrid passenger vehicles (BEVs/PHEVs). Currently, detailed requirements are being considered for the introduction of the new regulations.

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. Discussions are currently underway for Level 7 Emissions Regulations (“China 7”), which will be more stringent that the China 6 Emissions Regulations. Potential regulations for particulate matter emitted from brake pads and tire wear and the expansion of regulations to make BEVs/FCEVs subject to the OBD regulations are being considered.

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. Tightening of the next-generation emissions regulations (China V and China VI) is currently considered for heavy-duty gasoline-powered commercial vehicles.

Standards of Other Countries or Regions

In particular, in India, given the worsening air pollution, in December 2015, the Supreme Court banned the registration of diesel cars with engines that are two liters or larger in the National Capital Region, including the Delhi metropolitan area. In August 2016, the ban on registration was lifted on the condition that a deposit equal to 1% of the vehicle’s retail price is to be paid to the Environment Pollution Control Authority. Furthermore, the government accelerated the implementations of

BS-6

(equivalent to Euro 6) to 2020. Moreover, certain countries such as Thailand, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, Chile and Peru have also decided to introduce regulations equivalent to Euro 6.

Vehicle Fuel Economy

Japanese Standards

The Act on Rationalizing Energy Use and Shifting to

Non-fossil

Energy requires automobile manufacturers to improve their vehicles to meet specified fuel economy standards. Fuel economy standards are established according to the types of vehicles, and are required to be met by either fiscal 2011 (April 2010-March 2011), fiscal 2016 (April 2015-March 2016), fiscal 2021 (April 2020-March 2021), fiscal 2023 (April 2022-March 2023), fiscal 2026 (April 2025-March 2026) or fiscal 2031 (April 2030-March 2031). From 2020, if the WLTC mode is applied as a vehicle emissions test cycle, fuel economy test must be also conducted based on the WLTC mode.

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 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 was 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 projected reductions in 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 were 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 December 2021 greenhouse gas emission rule, this final rule is based on Presidential Executive Order 13990. The final 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.

Table of Contents

In March 2024, the EPA issued a final rule setting greenhouse gas emissions standards for light-duty vehicles from model years 2027 to 2032, which EPA projects to result in an industry-wide average target for the light-duty fleet of 85 grams per mile. As required under Executive Order 14037, which set a goal that 50% of new vehicles sold in the United States in 2030 shall be ZEVs, the EPA coordinated and/or engaged with, among others, the Department of Transportation, labor unions, and states (including California) to develop these new standards.

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 in the amount between €5 to €95 per vehicle 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.

As part of its “Fit for 55” package, in July 2021 the European Commission proposed more stringent carbon dioxide emission limits for vehicles and light commercial vehicles. 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 light commercial vehicles, again relative to the 2021 baseline. The 2025 target remains unchanged at a 15% reduction for both new vehicles and light commercial vehicles. On April 19 2023, the European Parliament and the Council signed the amendments into law.

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 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.

Table of Contents

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.

Standards of Other Countries or Regions

India, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, New Zealand, South Korea and Taiwan have imposed regulations that require automobile manufacturers to reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

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.

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. At the same time, a permit system was introduced for updating software embedded in vehicles in current use.

In addition, a new program for verifying the performance of

e-scooters

and certain other light motorized bicycles was established in July 2023 as a new mobility safety measure.

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 are expected to be issued, and pedestrian protection and autonomous emergency braking are expected to become mandatory 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 (which came into effect in July 2022) makes certain vehicle safety equipment mandatory in stages, 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. Furthermore, for the equipment for which UN Regulations have not been developed, such as automated driving systems for automated vehicles, the EU established its own technical standards.

Table of Contents

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 EU 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.

United Nations Standards

The United Nations restructured the existing working parties and established the Working Party on Automated/Autonomous and Connected Vehicles (“GRVA”) that is dedicated to the development of regulations on automated driving. The GRVA is developing regulations for automated driving systems for automated vehicles, covering functional safety requirements, new evaluation test method requirements, cybersecurity, software updates, data recording for automated driving vehicles and data recording in case of an accident. The new regulations on cyber security, software updates and automated lane keeping system came into effect in January 2021. In recent years, as can be seen from the fact that working parties are studying documentation on AI used in vehicles, they are considering various proposed regulations that contribute to road safety, taking new technologies into account, and new regulations have been established to improve driver visibility or require audible reverse warning or advanced driver assistance systems. New regulations for pedal misapplication acceleration control systems, driver distraction, and automatic driving systems are also being developed.

Chinese Standards

Vehicle safety regulations in China were in general established having regard to the UN regulations. However, China is adding its own requirements in consideration of the Chinese market and traffic environment, and establishing its own standards to improve the technological capabilities of its industries and to ensure international competitiveness. This is especially true in the area of “electrification,” or new energy vehicles (“NEVs”), which China is strongly promoting, and China’s own national technical standards on functions such as batteries, motors, and the charging and remote surveillance of NEVs 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, the country considers “intelligentization” to be the next core technological area, and more than 100 standards for intelligent connected vehicles (“ICV”) are being developed (including automation, telecommunication and security). As is the case in the field of electrification, it is anticipated that more of China’s own standards will become mandatory in a short period in the future. In particular, in recent years, from the perspective of ensuring data security against the backdrop of the U.S.-China trade friction and other factors, China has been vigorously and rapidly promoting legislation to strictly control the extraterrestrial transfer of data acquired within China, and the automotive sector is no exception to this. Although the authorities have already mandated to obtain clearance for personal information and important data to be transferred outside of China through security review, there is a risk that Toyota will need a major review of the necessity for further development of new technologies or of the technology development system, including technology transfer to China, depending on the terms of future laws and regulations.

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

Table of Contents

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 2023, Toyota achieved a recycling/recovery rate of 97% 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 (PM

2.5

) standard from 12.0 µg/m

to within the range of 9.0 to 10.0 µg/m

. The EPA proposed to make no changes to the secondary (welfare-based) annual PM

2.5

standard, primary and secondary

24-hour

2.5

standards, and primary and secondary PM

standards. In March 2024, the EPA announced a final rule, effective May 2024, lowering the primary (health-based) annual particulate matter (PM

2.5

) standard to 9.0 µg/m

. This revised 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.

A review of the EU Directive on

End-of-Life

Vehicles was launched in 2021, resulting in a proposal for a new regulation in July 2023. The new proposed regulation would improve the quality of

end-of-life

treatment, incentivize reuse of recycled materials to enable more resource-efficient use of materials, recover more and better-quality raw materials (e.g., CRMs, plastics, steel and aluminum), and strengthen responsibility and cooperation between producers.

Toyota strives to ensure that its operations comply with environmental regulatory requirements concerning its facilities and products in each of the markets in which it operates. Toyota continuously monitors these

Table of Contents

requirements and takes necessary operational measures in an effort to remain in material compliance with all of these requirements. However, in light of the net zero transition, 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.

Toyota’s Approach to and Initiatives Towards Sustainability

The following is a discussion of Toyota’s approach to and initiatives towards sustainability. It contains forward-looking statements that are based upon the current judgment, assumptions and beliefs of Toyota’s management. See “Cautionary Statement With Respect To Forward-Looking Statements.” Actual business, financial and operational results may vary significantly from those described below as a result of unanticipated changes in various factors, including those described in “Risk Factors.”

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.

To deliberate on key, multidisciplinary sustainability issues related to management, we have established the Sustainability Meeting chaired by the CEO, which mainly deals with themes associated with Environment and Social, and the Governance Risk Compliance Meeting chaired by the Chief Risk Officer (“CRO”) / Chief Compliance Officer, which deals with themes associated with Governance. In addition, subcommittees have been established to deliberate on individual issues and themes that are closer to actual practice on a functional basis.

Furthermore, we have appointed a Chief Sustainability Officer to lead the engagement with external stakeholders and dissemination of information regarding sustainability activities.

Risk Management

Toyota will further 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, reduce, and appropriately control risks arising in business activities from a global perspective, Toyota has appointed a CRO and Deputy CRO (“DCRO”) in charge of risk management, as well as the head of risk management in each region. Toyota has also established the Governance Risk Subcommittee under the CRO’s supervision to identify, take action against, and monitor material risks from a company-wide perspective. The Governance Risk Compliance Meeting deliberates on material matters and submits reports and proposals as appropriate to the Board of Directors to promote our business.

Table of Contents

In addition, as a risk management system framework, we regularly identify, evaluate, and promote measures against 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).

Approach to and Initiatives Towards Human Resources

Toyota and the Toyota Group have been focusing on human resource development since its foundation based on the philosophy that “

monozukuri

(manufacturing) depends on human resource development.”

In the midst of a

once-in-a-century

transformation taking place in the automobile industry, Toyota and the Toyota Group have 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 and the 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.

Table of Contents

We have also been engaged in ongoing dialogue between labor and management regarding investment in human resources, including human resources development. Under the shared value of “the company wishes for the happiness of its employees and employees wish for the development of the Company,” we have had 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, and labor and management worked together to promote such initiatives.

In the discussion held in March 2023 between labor and management, they confirmed to implement initiatives based upon three main pillars—diversity, growth, and contributions—designed to transform Toyota into a place where anyone can take on new challenges at any time, as many times as possible, without fear of mistakes, and promoted such initiatives. While continuing to promote initiatives based on the three pillars, in order to achieve change for the future in an era of rapid environmental change and an uncertain future, Toyota believes that it is also essential to take steps to “establish today how we will work in 10 years” with an eye to the “future.” To such ends, through discussions between labor and management in March 2024, we mapped out specific initiatives.

Climate Change-related Disclosures

Toyota has announced that, in response to climate change, it would address global-scale challenges to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. In order to tackle these challenges, Toyota intends to respond quickly to changing demands, take into account the different energy conditions in each country and region around the world, and provide a variety of bespoke solutions that correspond to such country-specific and region-specific conditions.

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 2023 include the following.

•

Adopting a resolution at the Board of Directors meeting to invest in securing the required supply of batteries for electric vehicles by 2030 to achieve carbon neutrality.

Table of Contents

•

Granting approval to engage in research and development on powertrains (evolution of combustion technology) as a multi-pathway approach to realizing a carbon-neutral society.

(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 Sustainability Meeting, the Sustainability Subcommittee, the CN Strategy Subcommittee and the Governance Risk Subcommittee are the principal bodies for assessing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities.

Strategy

Toyota’s Strategies (Fundamental approach of Toyota’s multi-pathway strategy)

The core idea of Toyota’s multi-pathway strategy is to offer a diverse range of mobility options that align with the future of energy and the needs and expectations of local communities and customers. Considering ways in which mobility takes into account the future of energy is important. The strategy’s basic premise is that we need to move away from fossil fuels from the perspective of the global environment and sustainability. Furthermore, over the medium- to long- term, renewable energy sources will continue to proliferate, with electricity and hydrogen emerging as the primary energy sources sustaining society. In the short term, however, it is critical to acknowledge global realities and implement changes in practical ways that maintain energy security. This is precisely why we are committed to contributing to the goal of carbon neutrality through a diverse lineup of mobility options that can utilize electricity derived from renewable energy, hydrogen, synthetic fuels, biofuels and other energy sources in anticipation of a future of electricity and hydrogen.

Table of Contents

Existing infrastructure and assets must be used to practically and effectively reduce CO

emissions. Energy policies, such as renewable energy and charging infrastructure, and industrial policies, such as purchase subsidies, supplier support and battery recycling systems, are indispensable in the goal of achieving carbon neutrality in the automotive industry. Responses must also be developed to address uncertainties related to national energy policies, industrial policies, and customer choice.

Toyota’s multi-pathway strategy, which offers different mobility options, is designed with an expectation to respond to uncertainty with any one of the options, irrespective of social conditions. As various industries are involved, Toyota is actively engaged in building partnerships to accelerate the development of an environment where electricity and hydrogen can be used to protect the global environment.

Toyota verifies the resilience of the multi-pathway strategy through scenario analysis.

Scenario Analysis Overview

Toyota approved and signed the TCFD recommendations in April 2019 and joined the TCFD Consortium, a platform for promoting collective action by companies, financial institutions and other entities in Japan. Toyota acknowledges the risks and opportunities present in climate change as key management concerns, uses the TCFD recommendations to identify risks and opportunities, and verifies the resilience of strategies through scenario analysis. In 2022, Toyota launched a project involving relevant organizations to conduct an analysis using the two 1.5ºC and 4ºC temperature scenarios based on the TCFD framework. We conducted assessments to identify climate change risks and opportunities and evaluated financial impacts to confirm the effectiveness of Toyota’s responses.

The set scenarios are as follows.

•

1.5ºC scenario (IEA

NZE

, APS

scenario, etc.)

•

4ºC scenario

(SSP5-8.5)

International Energy Agency

Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario

Announced Pledges Scenario

Businesses subject to analysis include automotive businesses and supply chains of Toyota and its consolidated subsidiaries, as well as the Toyota Group production sites in Japan and overseas.

pre-industrial

levels.

(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.

Table of Contents

Toyota needs to take measures to respond to changes associated with climate change that may have various impacts on its business fields. In accordance with this understanding, we have identified particularly significant climate change risks in line with the “Toyota Global Risk Management Standard (TGRS)” risk management process based on the degree of impact and stakeholders’ interest. The acceleration of climate change may pose risks to Toyota’s business, but if we can respond appropriately, we believe that this will lead to enhanced competitiveness and the acquisition of new business opportunities.

(b) Resilience of the Organization’s Strategy Under a 1.5°C, 4°C, and Other Climate-related Scenarios in Terms of Business, Strategy, and Financial Planning

<Step 1> Set Future Storylines Assuming Climate Change Effects

We envision the external environment in 2030 in terms of transition risks and opportunities under the 1.5ºC scenario using multiple scenarios, such as the IEA’s NZE and APS. We conducted detailed impact assessments on climate change risks identified in the TGRS that are expected to have significant impacts (see tables 2 and 3 below). Risk analyses on physical risks under the 4ºC scenario were conducted based on future forecasts for 2050 and 2090 using the IPCC*

scenario

(SSP5-8.5).

Preliminary assessments on climate change impacts and screenings for priority sites requiring further investigation was also conducted for business locations in Japan (137) and overseas (73) in order to better understand the impacts of an increase in weather-related disasters due to climate change on the operations of Toyota and on the Toyota Group’s operations.

*5 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

<Step 2> Consider the Impacts on Toyota Shown in Step 1

Table of Contents

Under the 1.5ºC scenario, we believe there will be a global increase in the introduction of renewable energy (electricity and carbon-neutral fuels

), which will amplify the role of electric vehicles (especially ZEVs), while the speed and types of renewable energy (solar, wind, bio, other) will vary by country and region. With a substantial rise in the ratio of ZEVs in new car sales in some countries and regions, and focused efforts in others to promote the use of carbon-neutral fuels, we believe it will be necessary for Toyota to offer products (vehicles) that are tailored to the distinct needs of each market. The introduction of carbon-neutral fuels will be effective in reducing CO

emissions from vehicles already out in the market and will enable a reduction in CO

emissions without exclusively relying on new car sales. Concerns about rising costs due to the introduction of carbon taxes and higher tax rates may impact production and procurement, leading to a shift in the use of energy-efficient technologies, renewable energy and hydrogen to reduce risks.

Certain sites have been identified where there will be changes in terms of inland flooding and storm surges in the future under the 4ºC scenario (Table 1). There are growing worries that society’s climate change measures may be inadequate, leading to the increased possibility of suspended production due to more frequent and severe natural disasters, such as floods, and production cuts and stoppages due to disruptions in supply chains.

Carbon neutral fuels: Sustainable biofuels, synthetic fuels such as

e-fuel,

etc.

<Step 3> Toyota’s Strategies

Toyota affirms its commitment to enhancing resilience in the management of our business operations in the medium to long term through a multi-pathway strategy with the use of scenario analysis, as shown in Tables 2 and 3 in the following section.

Through a comparative analysis with multiple scenarios, including the IEA NZE, Toyota has verified the potential of our strategy for transition risks, which incorporates carbon-neutral fuels, to meet the 1.5ºC target set out in the Paris Agreement on climate change (the “Paris Agreement”).

Toyota strives to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 through a holistic approach tailored to energy conditions in different regions, which includes offering customers a range of options such as BEVs, PHEVs, HEVs, and hydrogen engines, as well as electricity, hydrogen and new fuels (carbon-neutral fuels) that can make effective use of existing infrastructure, and initiatives to reduce CO

emissions from vehicles on the market through these measures.

Table of Contents

According to the CNF scenario report by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, the shift to

low-carbon

fuels for automobiles is also important, and not only the scenario of a rapid shift to BEVs, but also the scenario of effective use of HEVs, PHEVs and carbon-neutral fuels, could be consistent with the IPCC’s 1.5ºC scenario in 2050.

Toyota is considering conducting risk assessments in terms of physical risks for sites in Japan and overseas that have been identified as potentially at risk (grade B or higher) due to anticipated changes from climate change. Toyota will review flood mitigation measures and business continuity plans based on the results of climate disaster hazard screenings.

Toyota will continue to perform scenario analysis to identify, prioritize and assess risks and opportunities for significant climate change impacts.

Toyota has set greenhouse gas (“GHG”) reduction targets as part of its transition plan in response to the above-mentioned risks and opportunities.

Multiple scenarios are used to validate the feasibility of Toyota’s transition plan.

Risks and opportunities are incorporated into project-related financial planning to solidify transition plans under Toyota’s multi-pathway strategy.

Project investments that exceed a specified amount must be approved by the Board of Directors.

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.

Toyota carries out risk assessment based on the two perspectives of magnitude of impact and vulnerabilities and describes when the risk is expected to materialize, to clarify the substantive financial or strategic impact on Toyota’s business.

The magnitude of impact is assessed with respect to five elements “finance,” “reputation,” “violation of laws and regulations,” and “business continuation” – on a five-point scale. For “finance,” the ratio to sales is indexed. Vulnerabilities are assessed based on the two elements of the “current status of countermeasures” and “probability of occurrence.”

Table of Contents

(b) The Organization’s Processes for Managing Climate-related Risks

After risks by region, function (manufacturing, sales, etc.), and product are extracted by each division and assessed in view of magnitude of impact and vulnerability, each region and each division mutually cooperates and supports one another in the implementation of 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 CN Strategy Subcommittee and Sustainability Subcommittee and then deliberated by the relevant divisions and officers. The CN Strategy Subcommittee monitors the status of efforts to deal with such issues as fuel economy regulations and procurement, as well as the issues affecting direct operations, including CO

emission regulations on plants, logistics, and other

non-production

locations, as well as 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.

Meetings of the above committees are held about four times a year with the participation of Executive- or General Manager-level members of relevant divisions, such as technology, environment, finance, purchasing, and sales. Important risks and opportunities that require prompt response are reported to the Board of Directors Meeting one by one for response measures to be 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 CN Strategy Subcommittee and Sustainability Subcommittee where members from relevant divisions gather, climate- related risks and opportunities are identified/assessed/managed, and countermeasures are examined.

Metrics and Targets

(a) Metrics Used by the Organization to Assess Climate-related Risks and Opportunities in Line with Its Strategy and Risk Management Process

Toyota believes that setting multiple metrics to comprehensively manage climate-related risks and opportunities is an important as a measure for adaptation to and mitigation of climate change. As such, the metrics include not only the amount of GHG emissions but also other elements deeply related to climate change, such as energy, water, resource recycling, and biodiversity.

The following targets have been set based on these indicators and are systematically promoted as “6 challenges” through initiatives in six areas.

•

Long-term strategy (2050 Target): Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050

•

Medium-term strategy (2030 Target): 2030 Milestone, in line with SBTi criteria

•

Short-term strategy (2025 Target): 7th Toyota Environmental Action Plan

Table of Contents

Toyota aims to achieve Scope 1, 2 and 3 to become carbon neutral (CN) by 2050 by promoting the following challenges from the list of “6 challenges.”

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

Structure of Environmental Strategies

Toyota is continuously monitoring social trends and customer opinions. Toyota considers which issues it should focus on, quickly anticipates future issues, and addresses environmental issues by applying new ideas and technologies. However, global environmental issues, such as climate change, water shortages, resource depletion, and biodiversity loss continue to spread and grow more serious every day.

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.

Table of Contents

Toyota’s emissions reduction targets in line with the criteria of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)

Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction targets are in line with the science-based criteria established by SBTi to limit the global average temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Scope 3 Category 11 emissions (gCO2e/km) reduction targets are in line with the science-based criteria to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

In April 2023, Toyota announced its intention to reduce average GHG emissions from vehicles sold worldwide by 33% by 2030 and over 50% by 2035 (compared to 2019 levels).

Disclosure of Iranian Activities under Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 added Section 13(r) to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Section 13(r) requires an issuer to disclose in its annual or quarterly reports, as applicable, whether it or any of its affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings relating to Iran or with designated natural persons or entities involved in terrorism or the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Pursuant to Section 13(r), Toyota is disclosing the following information.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, Toyota Mobility Service Co., Ltd. (“TMSC”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Toyota, leased one vehicle to the Iranian embassy in Japan.

This activity contributed an insignificant amount of gross revenues and net profit to Toyota. Toyota believes that the above transaction does not subject it or its affiliates to U.S. sanctions. TMSC intends to cease conducting its activities described above.

Research and Development

The overriding goals of Toyota’s technology and product development activities are to minimize the negative aspects of vehicles, such as traffic accidents and impact on the environment, and maximize the positive aspects, such as driving pleasure, comfort and convenience. By achieving these sometimes-conflicting goals to a high degree, Toyota seeks to open the door to the automobile society of the future. To ensure efficient progress in research and development activities, Toyota coordinates and integrates all research and development phases, from basic research and advanced research to forward-looking technology and product development. With respect to long-term basic research in areas such as energy, the environment, information technology, telecommunications and materials, projects are regularly reviewed and evaluated in consultation with outside experts to achieve research and development cost control. With respect to forward-looking, leading-edge technology and product development, Toyota establishes cost-performance benchmarks on a

project-by-project

basis to ensure efficient development investment.

The chart below provides an overview of Toyota’s R&D at each phase.


Basic research		Phase to discover development theme Research on basic vehicle-related technology
Forward-looking and leading-edge technology development		Phase requiring technological breakthroughs such as components and systems Development of leading-edge components and systems that are more advanced than those of competitors

Components and Parts, Raw Materials and Sources of Supply

Toyota purchases parts, components, raw materials, equipment and other supplies from multiple competing suppliers located around the world. Toyota works closely with its suppliers to pursue optimal procurement. Toyota believes that this policy encourages technological innovation, cost reduction and other measures to strengthen its vehicle competitiveness. Although there are supply restrictions with respect to the procurement of certain parts and components, Toyota plans to continue purchases based on the same principle.

Because Toyota had more than 50 overseas operations in 26 countries and regions as of March 31, 2024, procurement of parts and components is being carried out not only locally in the country of the production site but also from third countries. As a result, the distribution network has become increasingly complex. In order to 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.

Table of Contents

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 2023, Toyota filed approximately 15,000 patent applications domestically and internationally. In Japan, based on the ranking published by IP Force, Toyota was ranked 3rd among companies and 1st among automobile manufacturers that year in terms of the number of patent registrations as of December 31, 2023. In the United States, based on the ranking published by IFI CLAIMS, Toyota was ranked 12th among companies and 1st among automobile manufacturers that year in terms of the number of patent registrations as of December 31, 2023.

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 are subject to certain class actions relating to Takata airbag issues. The actions against Toyota are being litigated in Brazil and Argentina.

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, 2024, 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.

Table of Contents

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.

Toyota is constantly engaged in upgrading, modernizing and revamping the operations of its manufacturing facilities based on its assessment of market needs and prospects. To respond flexibly to fluctuations in demand in each of its production operations throughout the world, Toyota continually reviews and implements appropriate production measures such as revising take 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, 2024, property, plant and equipment having a net book value of approximately ¥1,574.3 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.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

5.A OPERATING RESULTS

Financial information discussed in this section is derived from Toyota’s consolidated financial statements that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, as issued by the IASB.

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 2024. Toyota’s primary markets based on vehicle unit sales for fiscal 2024 were: Japan (21.1%), North America (29.8%), Europe (12.6%) and Asia (19.1%).

Automotive Market Environment

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

During fiscal 2024, the global economy remained firm mainly in the United States, where employment continued to be strong, despite the impacts of high inflation and interest rates and a stagnant real estate market in China.

The following table sets forth Toyota’s consolidated vehicle unit sales by geographic market based on location of customers for the past three fiscal years.


	Thousands of units
	Year Ended March 31,
	2022		2023		2024
Japan		1,924		2,069		1,993
North America		2,394		2,407		2,816
Europe		1,017		1,030		1,192
Asia		1,543		1,751		1,804
Other*		1,352		1,565		1,638

Overseas total		6,306		6,753		7,450

Total		8,230		8,822		9,443

*	“Other” consists of Central and South America, Oceania, Africa and the Middle East, etc.

During fiscal 2023, Toyota’s consolidated vehicle unit sales in Japan increased due to gradual lessening of the impact of

COVID-19.

During fiscal 2024, Toyota’s consolidated vehicle unit sales in Japan decreased despite increase in the number of global total units. During both fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024, 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

Table of Contents

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.

Financial Services Operations

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

Table of Contents

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 2024 mainly due to an increase in retail receivables. Also, vehicles and equipment on operating leases increased during fiscal 2024 mainly due to the impact of changes in exchange rates.

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 manage 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 increased during fiscal 2023 and 2024 mainly as a result of higher interest rates.

Toyota launched its credit card business in Japan in April 2001. As of March 31, 2023, Toyota had 16.1 million cardholders, an increase of 0.4 million cardholders compared with March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2024, Toyota had 16.2 million cardholders, an increase of 0.04 million cardholders compared with March 31, 2023. Credit card receivables as of March 31, 2023 increased by ¥53.3 billion from March 31, 2022 to ¥554.7 billion, and that as of March 31, 2024 increased by ¥4.0 billion from March 31, 2023 to ¥558.7 billion.

Other Business Operations

Toyota’s other business operations consist of its information technology business and others.

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

Table of Contents

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 2023 and 2024, Toyota produced 77.3% and 75.9%, respectively, of its

non-domestic

sales outside Japan. In North America, 76.8% and 75.9% of vehicles sold in fiscal 2023 and 2024, respectively, were produced locally. In Europe, 73.9% and 73.1% of vehicles sold in fiscal 2023 and 2024, respectively, were produced locally. In Asia, 98.3% and 97.4% of vehicles sold in fiscal 2023 and 2024, 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 2023 and 2024, the Japanese yen was on average weaker against the U.S. dollar and the euro in comparison to fiscal 2022 and 2023, respectively. At the end of each of fiscal 2023 and 2024, the Japanese yen was weaker against the U.S. dollar and the euro in comparison to the end of fiscal 2022 and 2023, 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.

Table of Contents

¥120.0 billion reduction attributable to cost reduction efforts principally at plants and logistics departments. However, that decrease was offset by a ¥265.0 billion increase in operating costs and expenses attributable to the impact of soaring materials prices.

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 materials and parts.

Cost of Products Sold

Cost of products sold increased by ¥4,472.0 billion, or 15.4%, to ¥33,600.6 billion during fiscal 2024 compared with the prior fiscal year. This increase mainly reflected the ¥3,880.0 billion impact of changes in vehicle unit sales and sales mix and the ¥420.0 billion unfavorable impact of fluctuations in foreign currency translation rates.

Cost of Financial Services

Cost of financial services increased by ¥413.6 billion, or 24.2%, to ¥2,126.3 billion during fiscal 2024 compared with the prior fiscal year. This increase was due mainly to the increase in funding costs resulting from higher interest rates and the increase in expenses related to credit losses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by ¥427.3 billion, or 11.9%, to ¥4,015.3 billion during fiscal 2024 compared with the prior fiscal year. This increase was due mainly to the ¥225.0 billion increase in labor costs and the ¥180.0 billion increase in sales expenses.

Other Income and Expenses

Share of profit (loss) of investments accounted for using the equity method during fiscal 2024 increased by ¥120.0 billion, or 18.7%, to ¥763.1 billion compared with the prior fiscal year. This increase was due mainly to an increase during fiscal 2024 in net income attributable to the shareholders of companies accounted for by the equity method.

Other finance income increased by ¥367.8 billion, or 97.0%, to ¥747.2 billion during fiscal 2024 compared with the prior fiscal year. This increase was due mainly to an increase during fiscal 2024 in interest income and profit on sales of securities.

Other finance costs decreased by ¥21.4 billion, or 17.1%, to ¥103.7 billion during fiscal 2024 compared with the prior fiscal year. This decrease was due mainly to a decrease during fiscal 2024 in losses on securities revaluation.

Foreign exchange gain (loss), net increased by ¥63.0 billion to ¥187.5 billion during fiscal 2024 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 ¥63.0 billion increase in foreign exchange gain (loss), net was due mainly to the gains recorded in fiscal 2024 resulting from the Japanese yen being weaker against foreign currencies at the maturity dates of the foreign currency deposit and loans than at the dates of the deposit or the lending.

Other income (loss), net increased by ¥96.0 billion, to ¥17.9 billion during fiscal 2024 compared with the prior fiscal year.

Table of Contents

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes increased by ¥717.8 billion, or 61.1%, to ¥1,893.6 billion during fiscal 2024 compared with the prior fiscal year. This increase was due mainly to the increase in income before income taxes. The average effective tax rate for fiscal 2024 was 27.2%.

Net Income Attributable to

Non-controlling

Interests

Net income attributable to

non-controlling

interests increased by ¥84.8 billion, or 203.7%, to ¥126.4 billion during fiscal 2024 compared with the prior fiscal year. This increase was due mainly to an increase during fiscal 2024 in net income of consolidated subsidiaries.

Net Income Attributable to Toyota Motor Corporation

Net income attributable to Toyota Motor Corporation increased by ¥2,493.6 billion, or 101.7%, to ¥4,944.9 billion during fiscal 2024 compared with the prior fiscal year.

Other Comprehensive Income, Net of Tax

Other comprehensive income, net of tax increased by ¥1,289.3 billion to ¥2,117.1 billion for fiscal 2024 compared with the prior fiscal year. This increase resulted mainly from net changes in revaluation of financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income gains of ¥569.7 billion in fiscal 2024 compared with losses of ¥16.5 billion in the prior fiscal year, due mainly to changes in prices of marketable stocks in stock exchange markets, and exchange differences on translating foreign operations gains of ¥1,178.8 billion in fiscal 2024 compared with gains of ¥676.0 billion in the prior fiscal year, due mainly to the weakening of the yen against the U.S. dollar and the euro.

Sales revenues for the financial services operations increased during fiscal 2024 by ¥674.5 billion, or 24.0%, to ¥3,484.1 billion compared with the prior fiscal year. This increase was due mainly to the increase in loan balance and the favorable impact of changes in exchange rates.

Looking ahead to a future supported by electricity and hydrogen, we would like to support the creation of a society based on renewable energy in which cars serve as a medium for transporting energy, and also use mobility’s value created through data to further enrich our customers’ lives. Taking the foregoing external factors and other factors into account, Toyota expects that sales revenues for fiscal 2025 will increase compared with fiscal 2024 due mainly to a favorable impact of changes in exchange rates and an increase in vehicle unit sales. Toyota expects that operating income will decrease in fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024 due mainly to investments towards human resources for the future and our transition towards a mobility company. Toyota expects that income before income taxes and net income attributable to Toyota Motor Corporation will also decrease in fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024.

For the purposes of this outlook discussion, Toyota is assuming an average exchange rate of ¥145 to the U.S. dollar and ¥160 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, market demand for Toyota’s products, economic conditions and others. See “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”.

5.B LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, Toyota has funded its cash requirements, including those relating to capital expenditures as well as its research and development activities through cash generated by operations.

In fiscal 2025, 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 2022, 2023 and 2024, 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 cash generated by operations, the issuance of corporate bonds, and debt financing, all by its sales finance subsidiaries. Toyota seeks to expand its ability to raise funds locally in markets around the world through its network of finance subsidiaries.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by ¥1,251.2 billion to ¥4,206.3 billion for fiscal 2024, compared with ¥2,955.0 billion for fiscal 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to the ¥2,578.4 billion increase in net income.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by ¥3,399.8 billion to ¥4,998.7 billion for fiscal 2024, compared with ¥1,598.8 billion for fiscal 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to the ¥1,703.6 billion increase in time deposits compared to the previous fiscal year.

Net cash provided by financing activities was ¥2,497.5 billion for fiscal 2024, a ¥2,553.7 billion change compared with net cash used in financing activities of ¥56.1 billion for fiscal 2023. The change was primarily attributable to the ¥2,780.4 billion increase in funding by long-term debt compared to the previous fiscal year.

For a discussion of cash flows for fiscal 2023 as compared to those for fiscal 2022, 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, 2023.

Total capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, including vehicles and equipment on operating leases, increased by ¥1,351.8 billion to ¥4,848.0 billion in fiscal 2024, compared to ¥3,496.2 billion in fiscal 2023.The increase was primarily attributable to the ¥954.7 billion increase in capital expenditures for the purchase of leased assets in the financial services operations segment compared to the previous fiscal year.

Toyota expects investments in property, plant and equipment, excluding vehicles and equipment on operating leases, to be approximately ¥2,150.0 billion during fiscal 2025.

Cash and cash equivalents were ¥9,412.0 billion as of March 31, 2024. 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 2024, by ¥4,393.9 billion, or 29.9%, to ¥19,109.0 billion as of March 31, 2024.

Trade accounts and notes receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts increased during fiscal 2024 by ¥203.2 billion, or 5.7%, to ¥3,789.4 billion. This increase was due mainly to an increase in the impact of changes in exchange rates.

Inventories increased during fiscal 2024 by ¥349.7 billion, or 8.2%, to ¥4,605.3 billion. This increase was due mainly to an increase in the impact of changes in exchange rates.

Total finance receivables, net increased during fiscal 2024 by ¥6,923.5 billion, or 28.0%, to ¥31,694.3 billion. This increase was due mainly to an increase in loan balance to customers and dealers. Finance receivables were geographically distributed as follows: in North America 57.1%, in Asia 11.3%, in Europe 14.5%, in Japan 6.2% and in Other 10.9%.

Other financial assets increased during fiscal 2024 by ¥3,820.6 billion, or 31.1%. This increase was due mainly to an increase in public and corporate bonds.

Property, plant and equipment increased during fiscal 2024 by ¥1,623.8 billion, or 12.9%. This increase was due mainly to capital expenditures.

Accounts and notes payable increased during fiscal 2024 by ¥265.0 billion, or 5.3%. This increase was due mainly to an increase in the impact of changes in exchange rates.

Income taxes payable increased during fiscal 2024 by ¥819.9 billion, or 202.7%. This increase was mainly due to an increase in income before income taxes that led to increased income tax expense.

Toyota’s total borrowings increased during fiscal 2024 by ¥7,181.5 billion, or 24.4%. Toyota’s short-term borrowings consist of loans with a weighted-average interest rate of 2.27% and commercial paper with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.53%. Short-term borrowings increased during fiscal 2024 by ¥897.7 billion, or 19.6%, to ¥5,487.9 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 1.92% to 7.86%, and maturity dates ranging from 2024 to 2048. The current portion of long-term debt increased during fiscal 2024 by ¥2,196.2 billion, or 28.7%, to ¥9,844.8 billion and the

non-current

portion increased by ¥4,080.9 billion, or 24.5%, to ¥20,766.3 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, 2024, approximately 53% of long-term debt was denominated in U.S. dollars, 10% in Japanese yen, 13% in euros, 5% in Australian dollars, 4% in Canadian dollars, and 15% 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, 2024, Toyota’s total interest-bearing debt was 106.8% of Toyota Motor Corporation shareholders’ equity, compared with 103.7% as of March 31, 2023.

Table of Contents

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, 2024. 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.


	S&P	Moody’s	R&I
Short-term borrowing	A-1+	P-1	—
Long-term debt	A+	A1	AAA

Toyota’s net defined benefit liability (asset) of Japanese plans decreased during fiscal 2024 by ¥85.9 billion, or 69.3%, to ¥38.0 billion. The net defined benefit liability (asset) of foreign plans increased during fiscal 2024 by ¥52.2 billion, or 16.6%, to ¥366.0 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. In order for Toyota to maintain its high credit ratings, a number of conditions must be met, some of which are not within Toyota’s control. Such conditions include those relating to the general economic condition in Japan and the other major markets in which Toyota does business, as well as whether Toyota can successfully implement 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 2024.

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 ¥45,860 million domestically and ¥16,493 million overseas to its pension plans in fiscal 2025.

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 ¥164.6 billion as of March 31, 2024.

Credit Facilities with Dealers

Toyota’s financial services operations maintain credit facilities with dealers. These credit facilities may be used for business acquisitions, facilities refurbishment, real estate purchases, and working capital requirements. These loans are typically collateralized with liens on real estate, vehicle inventory, and/or other dealership assets, as appropriate. Toyota obtains a personal guarantee from the dealer or corporate guarantee from the dealership when deemed prudent. Although the loans are typically collateralized or guaranteed, the value of the underlying collateral or guarantees may not be sufficient to cover Toyota’s exposure under such agreements. Toyota evaluates the credit facilities according to the risks assumed in entering into the credit facility. Toyota’s financial services operations also provide financing to various multi-franchise dealer organizations, referred to as dealer groups, often as part of a lending consortium, for wholesale inventory financing, business acquisitions, facilities refurbishment, real estate purchases, and working capital requirements. Toyota’s outstanding credit facilities with dealers totaled ¥3,794.0 billion as of March 31, 2024.

5.C RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES

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

For a more detailed discussion of the company’s research and development objectives and policies, see “Item 4. Information on the Company — 4.B Business Overview — Research and Development.”

Toyota’s research and development expenditures were approximately ¥1,202.3 billion in fiscal 2024, ¥1,241.6 billion in fiscal 2023, and ¥1,124.2 billion in fiscal 2022.

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 Accounting Standards.

For details of the research and development cost recorded in the consolidated statement of income, see note 27 to the consolidated financial statements.

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 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, $150 million in June 2021 and $150 million in April 2024. In addition, in an aim to achieve carbon neutrality, TRI established a $150 million fund in June 2021 and invested additional $150 in April 2024.

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

Table of Contents

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.

Furthermore, Toyota Technical Center Shimoyama was established in Aichi Prefecture as a new R&D base, with partial operation in April 2019 and full operation in March 2024. Together with Toyota Technical Center, Toyota Technical Center Shimoyama develops vehicles aimed at “making ever-better cars” by bringing together members of all kinds of functions, such as vehicle planning, style, design, and evaluation, and by finding problems in vehicles while running a test course that reproduces a wide variety of severe usage environments around the world, and by repeating improvements.

ITEM 6. DIRECTORS, SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYEES

6.A DIRECTORS AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT

In order to advance its transition to a mobility company, 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.

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

100

Table of Contents

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 practice “product-centered and region-centered management” and contribute to decision-making aimed at sustainable growth into the future based on the “Toyota 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 practice “product-centered and region-centered management” and contribute to decision-making aimed at sustainable growth into the future based on the “Toyota 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. As of the date of this annual report, the Executive Compensation Meeting consists of vice chairman of the board of directors Shigeru Hayakawa (Chairman), member of the board of directors Yoichi Miyazaki, and outside members of the board of directors Ikuro Sugawara, Sir Philip Craven, Masahiko Oshima and Emi Osono*.

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 June 2023 and April 2024, respectively.

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, retired as an outside member of the Board of Directors upon the conclusion of the Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held on June 14, 2023.

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.

108

Table of Contents

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 June, September, October and December 2023 and February, March and April 2024 to discuss and determine the amount of remuneration for fiscal 2024 and other relevant matters.

Furthermore, preliminary examination meetings, consisting only of outside members of the board of directors, were held in July 2023 and January, February and April 2024 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.

The principal topics discussed at Executive Compensation Meetings included:

•

Review of remuneration level for each position and job responsibility

•

Review of remuneration composition for each position and job responsibility

•

Review of benchmarks and evaluation of actual results of fiscal 2024

•

Determination of the amount of remuneration for each member of the board of directors

As a result of discussions at the Executive Compensation Meeting, Toyota has revised part of the policies for determining remuneration for each member of the Board of Directors from fiscal 2023 in order to be able to better put into practice the purport of the Overall Policy. However, for those members of the Board of Directors who retired at the close of the Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held on June 14, 2023 (“Retired Members of the Board of Directors”), the amount of remuneration for each member is determined by applying the determination policies before the revision.

Method of Determining Performance-based Remuneration (Bonus and Share Compensation)

Directors with Japanese Citizenship (Excluding Outside Members of the Board of Directors)

Toyota sets the total amount of compensation that each member of the board of directors receives annually (“Annual Total Remuneration”) at an appropriate level based on position and duties by referencing a benchmark of Japanese and also global companies selected based on the size of each person’s role and other factors.

Toyota makes sure that STI (short term incentive) and LTI (long term incentive) account for around 20% and 50% of the Annual Total Remuneration, respectively, and performance-based remuneration, which is STI and LTI combined, account for around 70%. STI is provided in the form of cash compensation based on “consolidated operating income” and “fluctuation of Toyota’s market capitalization*.” LTI is provided in the form of share compensation based on “multiple financial indicators,”

“non-financial

indicator,” and “individual performance evaluation.”

*	Calculated by multiplying the closing price of Toyota’s common stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange by the number of shares issued after deducting the number of shares of treasury stock

Concept of Individual Performance Evaluation

For the determination of Annual Total Remuneration, the LTI base amount is subject to adjustment based on individual performance evaluation. The evaluation takes into account various factors, such as initiatives (including the ESG perspective) based on the Toyota Philosophy and initiatives toward medium- to long-term corporate value enhancement, as well as trust from his or her peers and contribution to the promotion of human resources development. The range of adjustments based on individual performance evaluations is set commensurate with position and job responsibilities within the range of 50% above or below of the 40% of the LTI base amount. The amount of LTI for each member of the Board of Directors is calculated based on evaluation results.

Method of Determining Performance-based Remuneration (Bonus and Share Compensation) for Retired Members of the Board of Directors

Toyota sets the Annual Total Remuneration received by each member of the board of directors in a year based on consolidated operating income, the fluctuation of the market capitalization of Toyota* and individual performance evaluation. The balance after deducting monthly compensation as fixed remuneration from Annual Total Remuneration constitutes performance-based remuneration.

Toyota sets an appropriate executive compensation level for Annual Total Remuneration based on position and duties by referencing a benchmark of Japanese and also global companies selected based on the size of each person’s role and other factors.

Method of Setting Annual Total Remuneration for Retired Members of the Board of Directors

Annual Total Remuneration is set using a theoretical formula that takes into account the benchmarking results of remuneration for members of the board of directors. Annual Total Remuneration is set based on consolidated operating income and the fluctuation of the market capitalization of Toyota, and then adjusted based on individual performance evaluations. The individual performance evaluation takes into account various factors, such as initiatives (including the ESG perspective) based on the Toyota Philosophy, as well as trust from his or her peers and contribution to the promotion of human resources development. The scope of adjustments based on individual performance evaluations is set commensurate with position and job responsibilities within the range of 50% above or below Annual Total Remuneration. Annual Total Remuneration of the Board of Directors is calculated based on evaluation results.

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. Annual Total Remuneration levels as well as the percentages of fixed remuneration and performance-based remuneration in total remuneration are set, taking into account each member’s job responsibilities and the remuneration standards of the entity for which such member previously worked (application determined individually). Performance-based remuneration consists of STI and LTI as is the case with directors with Japanese citizenship (excluding outside members of the Board of Directors). The amounts of STI and LTI change in the same manner by reflecting STI and LTI performance evaluating indicators set for directors with Japanese citizenship (excluding outside members of the Board of Directors) and individual performance evaluation results. In addition, there are cases where we provide 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.

responsibilities and the remuneration standards of such member’s home country (application determined individually). The concept of each item is the same as that for Retired Members of the Board of Directors with Japanese citizenship (excluding outside members of the board of directors). In addition, 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.

6.C	BOARD PRACTICES

Toyota’s articles of incorporation provide for a board of directors of not more than 20 members and for not more than seven audit & supervisory board members. Shareholders elect the members of the board of directors and audit & supervisory board members at the general shareholders’ meeting. The normal term of office of a member of the board of directors is one year and that of an audit & supervisory board member is four years. Members of the board of directors and audit & supervisory board members may serve any number of consecutive terms.

The board of directors may appoint one Chairman of the Board of Directors and one President, as well as one or more Vice Chairmen of the Board and Executive Vice Presidents. The board of directors elects, pursuant to its resolutions, one or more Representative Directors. Each Representative Director represents Toyota generally in the conduct of its affairs. The board of directors has the ultimate responsibility for the administration of Toyota’s affairs. None of Toyota’s members of the board of directors is party to a service contract with Toyota or any of its subsidiaries that provides for benefits upon termination of employment.

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.

Under the Companies Act, Toyota must have at least three audit & supervisory board members. At least half of the audit & supervisory board members are required to 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.

116

Table of Contents

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 general shareholders’ meeting. The audit & supervisory board members also monitor the administration of Toyota’s affairs by the members of the board of directors. Audit & supervisory board members are not required to be, and Toyota’s audit & supervisory board members are not, certified public accountants. They are required to participate in meetings of the board of directors but are not entitled to vote.

Under the Companies Act and Toyota’s articles of incorporation, Toyota may, by a resolution of its board of directors, exempt audit & supervisory board members (including former audit & supervisory board members) 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 audit & supervisory board member 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.

Toyota does not have a remuneration committee. However, members of Toyota’s Executive Compensation Meeting discuss remuneration for members of the board of directors.

The Executive Compensation Meeting reviews the remuneration system for members of the board of directors and senior management 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. The members of the meeting are Shigeru Hayakawa, the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Yoichi Miyazaki, Ikuro Sugawara, Sir Philip Craven, Masahiko Oshima and Emi Osono, each, a Member of the Board of Directors.

In Japan, basic wages and other working conditions are negotiated annually. In addition, in accordance with Japanese national custom, each employee is also paid a semi-annual bonus. Bonuses are negotiated at the time of wage negotiations and are based on Toyota’s financial results, prospects and other factors. In fiscal 2024, the wage raises and bonuses were at the level demanded by the labor union.

In general, Toyota considers its labor relations with all of its workers to be good. However, Toyota is currently a party to, and otherwise from time to time experiences, labor disputes in some of the countries in which it operates. Toyota does not expect any disputes to which it is currently a party to materially affect Toyota’s consolidated financial position.

Toyota’s average number of temporary employees on a consolidated basis was 96,482 during fiscal 2024.

7.A MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS

As of March 31, 2024, 16,314,987,460 shares of Toyota’s common stock (of which 2,840,815,433 shares were treasury stock and 13,474,172,027 shares were outstanding) were issued. Toyota resolved at its board of directors meeting held on December 14, 2020 to exercise Toyota’s cash call option to acquire all outstanding Model AA Class Shares and, subject to such acquisition, to cancel all Model AA Class Shares pursuant to the Companies Act. Toyota completed the acquisition of all outstanding Model AA Class Shares on April 2, 2021 and cancelled them on April 3, 2021. Information concerning beneficial ownership of Toyota’s common stock in the table below was prepared from information known to Toyota or that could be ascertained from public filings, including filings made by Toyota’s shareholders regarding their ownership of Toyota’s common stock under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan.

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 holders of 5% or more of Toyota’s common stock as of the most recent practicable date.


Name of Beneficial Owner	Number of Shares of Common Stock (in thousands)		Percentage of Outstanding Voting Shares of Common Stock
Toyota Industries Corporation		1,192,331		8.87

According to The Bank of New York Mellon, depositary for Toyota’s ADSs (the “Depositary”), as of March 31, 2024, 321,674,315 shares of Toyota’s common stock were held in the form of ADSs and there were 1,727 ADS holders of record and 635,135 beneficial owners in the United States. According to Toyota’s register of shareholders, as of March 31, 2024, there were 947,533 holders of common stock of record worldwide. As of March 31, 2024, there were 528 record holders of Toyota’s common stock with addresses in the United States, whose shareholdings represented approximately 11.1% 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.

None of Toyota’s shares of common stock entitles the holder to any preferential voting rights.

Toyota cancelled all of the First Series Model AA Class Shares on April 3, 2021, and as such, there are no holders of First Series Model AA Class Shares.

To the extent known to Toyota, Toyota is not owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by another corporation, any foreign government or any natural or legal person.

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.

year-end

dividends to holders of common stock and registered pledgees of common stock of record as of March 31, the record date, in each year.

At the 111th Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held in June 2015, Toyota’s shareholders approved amendments to Toyota’s articles of incorporation permitting the issuance of Model AA Class Shares in the future.

Table of Contents

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 following table sets forth the dividends declared per share of common stock by Toyota for each of the periods shown. The periods shown are the six months ended on that date.

*	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 2024, Toyota has determined to pay a

year-end

dividend of 45 yen (225 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 30 yen (150 yen on a

pre-stock

split basis) per share of common stock, the annual dividend will be 75 yen (375 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 1,011.7 billion yen.

Table of Contents

Furthermore, Toyota resolved, at its board of directors meeting held on May 8, 2024, to repurchase up to 410 million shares of its common stock at a total maximum purchase price of 1 trillion yen.

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.

10.B MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

Except as otherwise stated, set forth below is information relating to Toyota’s common stock, including brief summaries of the relevant provisions of Toyota’s articles of incorporation and share handling regulations, as currently in effect, and of the Companies Act, Act Concerning Book-Entry Transfer of Corporate Bonds, Shares and Other Securities and related legislation.

General

Toyota’s authorized number of shares as of March 31, 2024 was 50,000,000,000 shares, of which 16,314,987,460 shares of common stock have been issued. Subsequently, the number of the issued shares decreased by 520,000,000 shares on May 9, 2024, due to the cancellation of treasury stock.

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.

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.

Japanese Unit Share System

General

. Consistent with the requirements of the Companies Act, Toyota’s articles of incorporation provide that 100 shares constitute one “unit.” Although the number of shares constituting a unit is included in the articles of incorporation, any amendment to the articles of incorporation reducing (but not increasing) the number of shares constituting a unit or eliminating the provisions for the unit of shares may be made by a resolution of the board of directors rather than by a special shareholders resolution, which is otherwise required for amending the articles of incorporation.

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.

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.

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.

(1)

any amendment of the articles of incorporation with certain exceptions in which a shareholders’ resolution is not required;

(2)

acquisition of its own shares from a specific party;

(3)

consolidation of shares;

(4)

any issue or transfer of its shares at a “specially favorable” price (or any issue of stock acquisition rights or bonds with stock acquisition rights at “specially favorable” conditions by Toyota) to any persons other than shareholders;

(5)

the removal of an audit & supervisory board member;

(6)

the exemption of liability of a director or audit & supervisory board member with certain exceptions;

(14)

company split with certain exceptions in which a shareholders’ resolution is not required; or

(15)

share delivery with certain exceptions in which a shareholders’ resolution is not required.

At least

two-thirds

of the shares having voting rights represented at the meeting must approve these actions.

The voting rights of holders of ADSs are exercised by the Depositary based on instructions from those holders.

Rights to be Allotted Shares

Shareholders have no preemptive rights under Toyota’s articles of incorporation. Under the Companies Act, the board of directors may, however, determine that shareholders shall be given rights to be allotted shares or

128

Table of Contents

stock acquisition rights on request in connection with a particular issue or transfer of shares, or issue of stock acquisition rights, respectively. In this case, such rights must be given on uniform terms to all shareholders as of a specified record date by at least two weeks’ prior public notice to shareholders of the record date.

Rights to be allotted shares are nontransferable. However, a shareholder may be allotted stock acquisition rights without consideration thereto, and 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.

Liability to Further Calls or Assessments

All of Toyota’s currently outstanding shares, including shares represented by the ADSs, are fully paid and nonassessable.

Transfer Agent

Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation is the transfer agent for all shares. Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation’s office is located at

4-5,

Marunouchi

1-chome,

Chiyoda-ku,

Tokyo,

100-8212

Japan. Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation maintains Toyota’s register of shareholders and records transfers of record ownership (in the case of common stock, upon receiving notification from JASDEC).

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

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.

Acquisition by Toyota of Shares

Toyota may acquire its own shares (i) through a stock exchange on which such shares are listed or by way of tender offer (pursuant to an ordinary resolution of a general shareholders’ meeting or a resolution of the board of directors), (ii) by purchase from a specific party (pursuant to a special resolution of a general shareholders’ meeting) or (iii) from a subsidiary of Toyota (pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors). When such acquisition of shares is made by Toyota from a specific party other than a subsidiary of Toyota, any other shareholder may make a demand to a representative director, more than five calendar days prior to the relevant shareholders’ meeting, that Toyota also purchase the shares held by such holder. However, the acquisition of its own shares at a price not exceeding the market price to be provided under an ordinance of the Ministry of Justice will not trigger the right of any shareholder to include him/her as the seller of his/her shares in such proposed purchase.

129

Table of Contents

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.

Report of Substantial Shareholdings

The Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan and regulations under the Law require any person who has become a holder (together with its related persons) of more than 5% of the total issued shares of a company listed on any Japanese stock exchange (including ADSs representing such shares) to file with the Director of a competent Local Finance Bureau, within five business days, a report concerning those shareholdings. A similar report must also be filed to reflect any change of 1% or more in any shareholding or any change in material matters set out in reports previously filed. Any such report shall be filed with the Director of a competent Local Finance Bureau through the Electronic Disclosure for Investor’s Network (“EDINET”) system. For this purpose, shares issuable to a shareholder upon exercise of stock acquisition rights are taken into account in determining both the number of shares held by that stock acquisition rights holder and the company’s total issued shares.

10.C MATERIAL CONTRACTS

All material contracts concluded by Toyota during the two years preceding this filing were entered into in the ordinary course of business.

10.D EXCHANGE CONTROLS

The following is a general summary of major Japanese foreign exchange control regulations applicable to holders of shares of capital stock or voting rights (including ADSs) of Toyota, and to others intending to consummate other actions such as obtaining consent from other investors holding voting rights and consenting to certain proposals at a general shareholders meeting, who are “exchange

non-residents”

or “foreign investors,” as described below. The statements regarding Japanese foreign exchange control regulations set forth below are based on the laws and regulations in force and as interpreted by the Japanese authorities as of the date of this annual report and are subject to subsequent changes in the applicable Japanese laws or interpretations thereof. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible foreign exchange control considerations that may apply to a particular investor, and potential investors are advised to satisfy themselves as to the overall foreign exchange control consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of shares of capital stock or voting rights of Toyota by consulting their own advisors.

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.

130

Table of Contents

Exchange

non-residents

are:

(i)

individuals who do not reside in Japan; and

(ii)

corporations whose principal offices are located outside Japan.

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.

Foreign investors are:

(i)

individuals who are exchange

non-residents;

(ii)

corporations or other organizations that are organized under the laws of foreign countries or whose principal offices are located outside of Japan;

(iii)

Japanese corporations of which 50% or more of their total voting rights are held directly or indirectly by individuals who are exchange

non-residents

and/or corporations or other organizations falling within (i) and/or (ii) above;

(iv)

partnerships under the Civil Code of Japan (Act No. 89 of 1896, as amended) established to invest in corporations, limited partnerships for investment under the Limited Partnership Act for Investment of Japan (Act No. 90 of 1998, as amended), or any other similar partnerships under foreign law, of which (a) 50% or more of the total contributions are made by individuals and/or corporations falling within (i), (ii), (iii) above and/or (v) below or any other persons prescribed under the Foreign Exchange Regulations or (b) a majority of the general partners are individuals and/or corporations falling within (i), (ii), (iii) above and/or (v) below or any other persons prescribed under the Foreign Exchange Regulations; and

(v)

corporations or other organizations, a majority of whose officers, or officers having the power of representation, are individuals who are 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.

Inward Direct Investment in Shares of Listed Companies

On May 8, 2020, an amendment to the Foreign Exchange Regulations came into effect. Upon the full implementation of the Amendment as of June 7, 2020, the requirements and procedures regarding the prior notifications of inward direct investments to the Minister of Finance and any other competent Ministers under the FEFTA, were amended. After the implementation of the Amendment, Japanese listed companies are classified into the following categories:

(i)

companies engaged in businesses excluding certain businesses designated by the Foreign Exchange Regulations as designated businesses (the “Designated Businesses”);

131

Table of Contents

(ii)

companies engaged in Designated Businesses designated by the Foreign Exchange Regulations as core sector businesses (the “Core Sector Designated Businesses”); and

(iii)

corporations engaged in Designated Businesses other than the Core Sector Designated Businesses (the

“Non-Core

Sector Designated Businesses”).

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 May 19, 2023, the businesses which are currently engaged in by Toyota are classified as category (ii) i.e., the Core Sector Designated Businesses above.

Definition of Inward Direct Investment

If a foreign investor acquires shares or voting rights of a Japanese company that is listed on a Japanese stock exchange (such as the shares of capital stock of Toyota) and, as a result of the acquisition, the foreign investor, in combination with any existing holdings, directly or indirectly holds 1% or more of the issued shares or the total number of voting rights of the relevant company, such acquisition constitutes an “inward direct investment.” In addition, an acquisition of the authority to exercise, or instruct to exercise, voting rights held by other shareholders that results in the foreign investor, in combination with any existing shareholding, directly or indirectly holding 1% or more of the total number of voting rights of the relevant company constitutes an “inward direct investment.” Furthermore, if a foreign investor manages, on a discretionary basis, shares or voting rights of a Japanese company that is listed on a Japanese stock exchange and in combination with any existing management, directly or indirectly manages 1% or more of the issued shares or the total number of voting rights of the relevant company, such discretionary investment management generally constitutes an “inward direct investment.”

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.”

Prior Notification Requirements

If a foreign investor intends to consummate an “inward direct investment” as described above, in certain circumstances, such as where the foreign investor is in a country that is not listed on an exemption schedule in the Foreign Exchange Regulations or where that Japanese company is engaged (as Toyota is currently) in one or more Designated Businesses, prior notification of the relevant inward direct investment must be filed with the Minister of Finance and any other competent Ministers.

However, a foreign investor seeking to consummate an “inward direct investment” may be eligible for the exemptions, if certain conditions are met.

132

Table of Contents

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.

133

Table of Contents

Acquisitions of shares by foreign investors by way of stock split are not subject to the foregoing notification requirements.

Procedures for Prior Notification

If such prior notification is filed, the proposed inward direct investment may not be consummated until after 30 days have passed from the date of filing, although this screening period may be shortened to two weeks unless such Ministers deem it necessary to review the proposed inward direct investment. The Ministers may extend the screening period up to five months if they deem it necessary to review the proposed inward direct investment and may recommend any modification or abandonment of the proposed inward direct investment and, if the foreign investor does not accept such recommendation, the Ministers may order the modification or abandonment of such inward direct investment. In addition, if the Ministers consider the proposed inward direct investment to be an inward direct investment that is likely to cause damage to the national security of Japan and, if a foreign investor (i) consummates such inward direct investment without filing the prior notification described above; (ii) consummates such inward direct investment before the expiration of the screening period described above; (iii) in connection with such inward direct investment, makes false statements in the prior notification described above; or (iv) does not follow the recommendation or order issued by the Ministers to modify or abandon such inward direct investment, the Ministers may order such foreign investor to dispose of all or part of the shares acquired or take other measures.

Post Facto Reporting Requirements

A foreign investor who consummates an inward direct investment as described above relating to a Japanese listed company that is engaged in one or more Designated Businesses, but is not subject to the prior notification 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 company that is not engaged in the Designated Businesses (which is not subject to the prior notification requirements described above) and, as a result 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), 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.

Acquisitions of shares by foreign investors by way of stock split are not subject to the foregoing notification requirements.

Dividends and Proceeds of Sale

Under the Foreign Exchange Regulations, dividends paid on, and the proceeds of sales in Japan of, shares held by

non-residents

of Japan may in general be converted into any foreign currency and repatriated abroad. Under the terms of the deposit agreement pursuant to which Toyota’s ADSs are issued, the Depositary is required, to the extent that in its judgment it can convert yen on a reasonable basis into dollars and transfer the resulting dollars to the United States, to convert all cash dividends that it receives in respect of deposited shares into dollars and to distribute the amount received (after deduction of applicable withholding taxes) to the holders of ADSs.

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 U.S. alternative minimum taxes, 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”), 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:

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

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;

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax without regard to its source; or

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.

An “Eligible U.S. Holder” is a U.S. Holder that:

is a resident of the United States for purposes of the Treaty;

does not maintain a permanent establishment in Japan (a) with which the shares of common stock or ADSs are effectively connected and through which the U.S. Holder carries on or has carried on business, or (b) of which the shares of common stock or ADSs form part of the business property; and

is eligible for benefits under the Treaty with respect to income and gain derived in connection with the shares of common stock or ADSs.

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

135

Table of Contents

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 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

136

Table of Contents

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.

U.S. Federal Income Taxation

U.S. Holders

The following discussion is a summary of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders that hold shares of common stock or ADSs as capital assets (generally, for investment purposes).

137

Table of Contents

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 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

138

Table of Contents

(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.

Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses

In general, upon a sale or other taxable disposition of shares of common stock or ADSs, a U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or other taxable disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in those shares of common stock or ADSs. A U.S. Holder generally will have an adjusted tax basis in a share of common stock or an ADS equal to its U.S. dollar cost. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, gain or loss recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of shares of common stock or ADSs generally will be capital gain or loss and, if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for those shares or ADSs exceeds one year, will be long-term capital gain or loss.

Non-corporate

U.S. Holders, including individuals, currently are eligible for preferential rates of U.S. federal income tax in respect of long-term capital gains. Under U.S. federal income tax law, the deduction of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder in respect of the sale or other disposition of shares of common stock or ADSs generally will be treated as U.S.-source income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

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.

Passive Foreign Investment Companies

non-U.S.

corporation generally will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year in which, after applying look-through rules, either (1) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income or (2) on average at least 50% of the gross value of its assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income for this purpose generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents and gains from commodities and securities transactions. The PFIC determination is made annually and generally is based on the value of a

non-U.S.

corporation’s assets (including goodwill) and composition of its income.

Toyota does not believe that it was a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for its taxable year ended March 31, 2024, 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”).

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).

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.

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.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

In general, information reporting requirements will apply to dividends paid to a U.S. Holder in respect of shares of common stock or ADSs, and to the proceeds received upon the sale, exchange or redemption of the shares of common stock or ADSs within the United States by U.S. Holders. Furthermore, backup withholding may apply to those amounts (currently at a 24% rate) if a U.S. Holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number to certify that such U.S. Holder is not subject to backup withholding or to otherwise comply with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding requirements.

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

140

Table of Contents

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 CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF OWNING OR DISPOSING OF COMMON STOCK OR ADSs, BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Toyota performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of fiscal 2024. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Form

20-F

that Toyota files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including the chief executive officer and the principal accounting and financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The disclosure controls and procedures also ensure that the Form

20-F

that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. The evaluation was performed under the supervision of Toyota’s President and Representative Director, who concurrently serves as CEO, and the member of the board of directors who concurrently serves as CFO. Toyota’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives. Managerial judgment was necessary to evaluate the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The President and Representative Director as well as the member of the board of directors have concluded that Toyota’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

(b) MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

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

(i)

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of Toyota’s assets;

(ii)

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and that Toyota’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of Toyota’s management and members of the board of directors; and

(iii)

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of Toyota’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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

144

Table of Contents

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, 2024.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Japan 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, 2024, as stated in its report included herein.

Toyota’s independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers Japan LLC, has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of Toyota’s internal control over financial reporting. This report appears in Item 18.

(d) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There have been no changes in Toyota’s internal control over financial reporting during fiscal 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Toyota’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 16.

[RESERVED]

ITEM 16A.

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

Toyota maintains an audit & supervisory board system, in accordance with the Companies Act. Toyota’s audit & supervisory board is comprised of six audit & supervisory board members, three of whom are outside audit & supervisory board members. Each audit & supervisory board member has been appointed at Toyota’s meetings of shareholders and has certain statutory powers independently, including auditing the business affairs and accounts of Toyota.

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.

ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS

Toyota has adopted a code of ethics that applies to its members of the board of directors and operating officers, including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of Toyota’s code of ethics is included as an exhibit to this annual report on Form

Policies and Procedures of the Audit & Supervisory Board

Below is a summary of the current policies and procedures of the audit & supervisory board for the

pre-approval

of audit and permissible

non-audit

services performed by Toyota’s independent public accountants.

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 permissible

non-audit

services other than the ones listed in the general

pre-approval

and (ii) obtaining services that are listed in the general

pre-approval

but of

146

Table of Contents

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.

A portion of the above purchases were made as a result of holders of shares constituting less than one unit, which is 100 shares of common stock, requesting Toyota to purchase shares that are a fraction of a unit, in accordance with Toyota’s share handling regulations. Toyota is required to comply with such requests pursuant to the Companies Act. See “Item 10. Additional Information — 10.B Memorandum and Articles of

147

ITEM 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Significant Differences in Corporate Governance Practices between Toyota and U.S. Companies Listed on the NYSE

Pursuant to home country practices exemptions granted by the NYSE, Toyota is permitted to follow certain corporate governance practices complying with Japanese laws, regulations and stock exchange rules in lieu of the NYSE’s listing standards. The SEC approved changes to the NYSE’s listing standards related to corporate governance practices of listed companies (the “NYSE Corporate Governance Rules”) in November 2003, as further amended in November 2004. Toyota is exempt from the approved changes, except for requirements that (a) Toyota’s audit & supervisory board satisfies the requirements of Rule

10A-3

under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (b) Toyota must disclose significant differences in its corporate governance practices as compared to those followed by domestic companies under the NYSE listing standards, (c) Toyota’s principal executive officer must notify the NYSE in writing after any executive officer of Toyota becomes aware of any

non-compliance

with (a) and (b), and (d) Toyota must submit annual and interim written affirmations to the NYSE. Toyota’s corporate governance practices and those followed by domestic companies under the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules have the following significant differences:

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 audit & supervisory board member (excluding those who have ever been Executive Directors, etc.) of

148

Table of Contents

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. Each of the outside members of the board of directors of Toyota satisfies the “independent outside director” requirements under the independence standards of the Japanese stock exchanges. To ensure our outside members of the board of directors and outside audit & supervisory board members participate in decision-making from an independent standpoint and reflect the opinions of more diverse stakeholders in management, Toyota has clarified the unique roles of and expectations for Toyota’s outside members of the board of directors and outside audit & supervisory board members and revised the independence assessment criteria. The definition of “independent director/ audit & supervisory board member” and “independent outside director” reflecting such criteria is different from that of the definition of independent director under the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules.

The roles of and expectations for outside members of the board of directors and outside audit & supervisory board members are as follows.

(For both outside members of the board of directors and outside audit & supervisory board members)

•

To believe in and uphold the Toyota Philosophy, have a high interest in our company’s business and people, and understand our company and its surrounding environment by having close dialogues with top management

•

To contribute to decision-making for our company’s sustainable growth and medium- to long-term enhancement in our corporate value as well as to solutions to social issues

(For outside members of the board of directors)

•

To contribute to greater added value of the board of directors’ decision-making while supervising business execution, utilizing their abundant experience and advanced expertise based on their recognition of diverse stakeholders’ opinions

•

To provide advice and support on key issues and business strategies, etc., in addition to matters presented to the board of directors

(For outside audit & supervisory board members)

•

To conduct audits from a fair and neutral standpoint, utilizing their abundant experience and advanced expertise

149

Table of Contents

The independence assessment criteria of Toyota are as follows.

Outside members of the board of directors and outside audit & supervisory board members who satisfy the requirements stipulated by the Companies Act and do not fall into any of the following categories are deemed to be independent.

History of belonging to affiliated companies: Persons who are currently functioning as executive directors, members of the audit & supervisory board, operating officers, or employees of our company and its consolidated subsidiaries. Or those who functioned as executive directors, members of the audit & supervisory board, operating officers, or employees at any time during the last ten years.

Major business partners: Persons who are executing business in companies, etc. (executive directors, executive officers, operating officers, employees, or any equivalents; the same shall apply hereunder) where the amount of the transaction with our company and its consolidated subsidiaries is more than 2% of the consolidated net sales of their company or our company and its consolidated subsidiaries in any of the last three fiscal years.

Major lenders: Persons who are executing business in companies from which our company and its consolidated subsidiaries borrowed funds amounting to more than 2% of the consolidated total assets of our company and its consolidated subsidiaries in any of the last three fiscal years.

Highly paid experts: Consultants, accountants, or jurists who earned more than US$120,000 a year directly from our company and its consolidated subsidiaries as remuneration (excluding that for the function of outside executives) in any of the last three fiscal years.

Large contribution: Persons who (or persons belonging to organizations that) received contributions amounting to more than US$120,000 a year from our company and its consolidated subsidiaries in any of the last three fiscal years.

Major shareholders: Persons who are executing business in companies, etc., that are ranked tenth or higher in terms of the ownership ratio of our company’s shares or for which our company is ranked tenth or higher in terms of the ownership ratio of their shares.

Affiliated audit firms: Persons who currently belong to or belonged to, at any time during the last ten years, the audit firms serving as accounting auditors of our company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Close relatives: Spouses, or relatives within the second degree of kinship, of members of the board of directors and the audit & supervisory board, operating officers, key employees of our company and its consolidated subsidiaries, or persons falling into the above 1 to 6 (excluding non-key persons).

Mutual executive dispatch: Persons who are executing business in companies that are accepting one or more member(s) of the board of directors or the audit & supervisory board from our company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

10.

Term of office: Persons whose term of office as an outside executive is longer than 12 years.

Persons who fall within any of the above-listed categories may be determined as independent, under the condition that our company discloses the reason for the determination when such persons satisfy the requirements for outside executives stipulated in the Companies Act and are substantially independent, and thus, a conflict of interest against general shareholders is deemed not to emerge.

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

150

Table of Contents

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.

151

Table of Contents

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.

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.

ITEM 16K. CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

The process at TMC for managing cybersecurity risks is integrated into the TGRS, a company-wide risk management framework based on ISO and COSO. For instance, based on the TGRS, TMC identifies cybersecurity risks, determines their degree of significance, and sets priorities to enable an effective response. For a further discussion of TMC’s company-wide risk management, see “Item 4. Information on TMC — 4.B. Business Overview — Climate Change-related Disclosures — Risk Management” in this annual report.

As part of TMC’s cybersecurity risk management process, TMC has a cybersecurity team established within the information systems field that gathers information concerning cybersecurity-related trends and case examples relating to other companies from third parties such as governmental security agencies, cybersecurity companies and software vendors, and monitors cyberattacks from external sources. In addition, by being a member of the Automotive Information Sharing & Analysis Center (Auto-ISAC) in Japan and the U.S., TMC is able to learn promptly about problematic events that occur within the industry and puts the information to use to improve and implement cybersecurity measures. Furthermore, TMC also actively collaborates with outside experts to gain outside knowledge and uses it to improve security. TMC also is a member of the Nippon Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) Association, which shares information about incidents, vulnerabilities, and signs of attacks, among member companies.

The team also shares information about security threats with Toyota’s overseas regional headquarters, which then share information within their own regions and implement countermeasures as necessary. Similarly, in the area of product security, the groups in charge of automotive security within the specialized team promotes automotive security initiatives throughout the entire automotive lifecycle in collaboration with the automotive development field, including product development with

security-by-design

and multi-layered protection in mind, in addition to compliance with international regulations and standards such as UNR155*

and ISO/SAE 21434*

, and the collection and monitoring of threat and vulnerability information.

Regulations concerning cybersecurity, which were adopted at the World Forum for the Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) in June 2020

International standards concerning cyber security of electrical/electronic systems of automobiles

TMC also provides information security training for all of TMC’s employees, including secondees and dispatched employees, such as through activities to raise awareness during “Information Security Reinforcement Months,” educational or warning information displayed at the startup of individuals’ personal computers, and unannounced training to test responses to targeted-attack-type emails.

In addition, third-party organizations with expertise in cybersecurity and risk management evaluate, based on such standards as those of the U.S National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF), NIST’s Special Publications (SP) Series, ISO and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the condition of the management and technical aspects of TMC’s security measures for information technology, operational technology, products and other areas. TMC implements measures to address problems identified through these evaluations as needed, working to raise the level of security.

TMC has an ongoing process in place to monitor known access routes to its systems, block potential threats, and evaluate incidents as they are identified. This process also applies to the systems of certain subsidiaries as well as certain third-party distributors, suppliers, and service providers.

153

Table of Contents

TMC has issued the All Toyota Security Guidelines (“ATSG”), which are guidelines for identifying and mitigating cybersecurity risks, to TMC’s consolidated subsidiaries, as well as third party dealers and rental or leasing agencies in Japan, requesting them to conduct self-inspections covering more than 100 items and enhance cybersecurity measures. In addition, the cybersecurity team carries out

on-site

audits by visiting the subsidiaries and other entities that the ATSG applies to, to check responses to the ATSG and the status of implementation of physical security measures at each company. TMC has also requested TMC’s key suppliers to enhance their cybersecurity measures based on the guidelines that are equivalent to the ATSG.

No material cybersecurity incident has occurred to Toyota to date. In fiscal 2024, Toyota did not identify cybersecurity risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of past cybersecurity incidents, that are reasonably likely to materially affect Toyota, including its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, despite the capabilities, processes, and other security measures we employ that we believe are designed to assess, identify, and mitigate the risk of cybersecurity incidents, we may not be aware of all vulnerabilities or might not accurately assess the risks of incidents, and such preventative measures cannot provide absolute security and may not be sufficient in all circumstances or mitigate all potential risks. For a further discussion of risks that may materially affect Toyota if a cybersecurity threat materializes and other matters, see “Risk Factors” in this annual report.

Cybersecurity Governance

TMC considers cybersecurity risk to be a particularly important risk within its risk management framework and one of the areas of focus for its board of directors, audit & supervisory board, and management. As part of the company-wide risk management process, in addition to developing the TGRS described above, TMC has established a governance and risk subcommittee that includes members of the board of directors and audit & supervisory board, as well as the Chief Information & Security Officer (“CISO”) as a member in charge of cybersecurity. The subcommittee discusses cybersecurity as one of the company-wide risks.

TMC’s cybersecurity team is led by the CISO and reports serious cybersecurity risks or incidents to the board of directors and the audit & supervisory board as they arise.

In addition, the members of the Information Security Management Meeting, which is held approximately four times a year, receives reports on and oversees the status of cybersecurity risks and incidents at TMC. This body, chaired by the CISO, is attended by responsible personnel assigned to each security area, such as confidential information management, information systems, and supply chain. Participants report and share information about security risks and the status of incidents.

Of such information, material matters are reported by the CISO to the board of directors and audit & supervisory board through the CRO, who is responsible for overall risk management.

In addition to the meeting mentioned above, the cybersecurity team is in close contact with full-time audit & supervisory board members, providing regular reports and receiving and responding to their inquiries about the state of TMC’s approach to cybersecurity and incident trends in the world.

TMC’s process for identifying, tracking and managing cybersecurity risks on a daily basis is primarily carried out by the cybersecurity team led by the CISO.

The cybersecurity team consists of professionals with cybersecurity expertise. Among the members, the CISO has gained experience in the development of

in-vehicle

software and

on-board

devices since joining TMC and has insights into information technologies such as software and cloud services. The CISO also gained experience in the field of cybersecurity since 2016, when he became an officer of Toyota’s Connected Company, and thus has knowledge of and insights into cybersecurity.

154

Table of Contents

TMC has a process where cybersecurity incidents at TMC or TMC’s group companies or suppliers is reported to an appropriate cybersecurity team in a timely manner as it occurs and escalated to the CISO according to the severity of the incident.

In addition, TMC has the Toyota Motor Corporation-Security Incident Response Team

(TMC-SIRT),

a response team including members of management, and has established a system to take appropriate and prompt action to resolve incidents. The

TMC-SIRT

does not only respond to cybersecurity incidents at TMC, but also provides support for incidents at TMC’s subsidiaries in Japan and overseas and key suppliers in Japan as necessary to bring the situation under control.

The CISO is responsible for managing the cybersecurity risks and strategic processes described above, as well as overseeing the prevention, mitigation, detection, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha

(“Toyota Motor Corporation”)

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, 2024 and 2023, 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, 2024, 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, 2024, 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, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2024 in conformity with IFRS Accounting 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, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 15(b). Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

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.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to

F-2

Table of Contents

the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of 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.

Liabilities for the costs of recalls and other safety measures

As described in Notes 3 and 24 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company accrues for costs of recalls and other safety measures. As of March 31, 2024, estimated liabilities for the costs of recalls and other safety measures totaled ¥1,271,690 million and were included in liabilities for quality assurance in the consolidated statement of financial position. The Company generally measures the 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, the Company measures liabilities for costs of a particular recall or other safety measures using an individual model when they are probable and reasonably estimable. Management calculates the liabilities for the costs of recalls and other safety measures that are determined comprehensively based on the accumulated amount of repair cost paid per unit and pattern of actual payment occurrence.

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

) 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.

Allowance for credit losses—Retail finance receivables

As described in Notes 3, 8 and 19 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company measures an allowance for credit losses on its retail finance receivables by estimating the expected credit losses at the reporting date. As of March 31, 2024, ¥336,152 million of the allowance for credit losses corresponding to ¥25,489,945 million of retail finance receivables was recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position. The allowance for credit losses on retail finance receivables is measured based on a systematic, ongoing review and evaluation performed as part of the credit risk evaluation process, historical loss experience, the size and composition of the portfolios, current economic events and conditions, the estimated fair value and adequacy of collateral, forward-looking information including movements of the world economy and other pertinent factors. In calculating the expected credit losses, the Company uses the probability of a default and the loss rate in the event of a default based on past experience and then reflects adjustments based on its forecasts of current and future economic conditions. Retail finance receivables within the United States represent approximately half of the consolidated retail finance receivables as of March 31, 2024.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the allowance for credit losses on retail finance receivables is a critical audit matter are 1) significant judgment was required by management when determining assumptions of the probability of a default, the loss rate in the event of a default, and adjustments based on the forecasts of current and future economic conditions used in the estimating of the allowance for credit losses, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity in performing procedures to evaluate management’s assumptions and adjustments; and 2) there was a high level of complexity in assessing audit evidence related to management’s 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 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.

2. Basis of preparation

(1) Compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards

Toyota’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB.

The consolidated financial statements were approved on June 25, 2024 by President, member of the Board of Directors Koji Sato and CFO, member of the Board of Directors Yoichi Miyazaki.

(2) Basis of measurement

Toyota’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value and assets and liabilities associated with defined benefit plans indicated in “3. Material accounting policies”.

(3) Functional currency and presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Japanese yen, which is the functional currency of TMC. All financial information presented in Japanese yen has been rounded to the nearest million Japanese yen, except when otherwise indicated. Amounts may not sum to totals due to rounding.

3. Material accounting policies

Basis of consolidation -

(1) Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TMC, its subsidiaries that are controlled by TMC, and those structured entities that are controlled by Toyota. Toyota controls an entity when Toyota is exposed or has rights to variable returns from involvement with the entity, and has the ability to affect those returns by using its power over the entity.

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.

Changes in a subsidiary’s ownership interests that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. When control over a subsidiary is lost, any gain or loss on the disposal of the interest sold is recognized in profit or loss.

F-11

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(2) Associates and joint ventures

Associates are entities over which Toyota has a significant influence over the decisions on financial and operating policies, but does not have control or joint control.

Joint ventures are entities over which two or more parties including Toyota have joint control, based on a contractual arrangement, and financial and business decisions about the relevant activities of which require unanimous consent of the parties that have joint control.

Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. The financial statements of associates and joint ventures have been adjusted in order to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by Toyota as necessary.

When the use of the equity method is discontinued from the date when the investees are determined to be no longer associates or joint ventures, any gain or loss on such disposal of the investment is recognized in profit or loss.

Foreign currency translation -

(1) Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the respective functional currencies of Toyota at the exchange rates prevailing when such transactions occur. All foreign currency receivables and payables are translated into the respective functional currencies at the applicable exchange rates at the end of the reporting period.

Non-monetary

assets and liabilities in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate on the date when the fair value was measured. Gains or losses on exchange differences arising from settlement of foreign currency receivables and payables or on their translations at the end of the reporting date are recognized in profit or loss. Furthermore, exchange differences arising from equity financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognized as other comprehensive income.

(2) Foreign operations

All assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures (collectively, “foreign operations”) that use a functional currency other than Japanese yen are translated into Japanese yen at the exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. All revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Japanese yen at the average exchange rate for the period unless the exchange rate fluctuates widely. Exchange differences arising from such translations are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other components of equity in the consolidated statement of financial position. When a foreign operation is disposed of, and control, significant influence or joint control over the foreign operation is lost, the cumulative amount of exchange differences relating to the foreign operation is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents -

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments that are readily convertible to cash and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value with three months or less maturities from the acquisition date.

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.

(a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

Toyota classifies a financial asset as measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:

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.

For equity financial assets such as shares held mainly for the purpose of maintaining or enhancing business relationships with investees, they are irrevocably designated at initial recognition as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

(d) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets other than (a) to (c) are classified as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.

(ii) Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, financial assets are measured based on the following classification.

F-13

Table of Contents

TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

Financial assets measured at amortized cost are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

(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.

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.

(d) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

Subsequent changes in the fair value of the financial assets are recognized in profit or loss.

(iii) Impairment of financial assets

An allowance for credit losses is provided for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost as well as debt financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. An allowance for credit losses is also provided for expected credit losses on loan commitments or financial guarantee agreements that are

off-balance

sheet credit exposures.

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

F-14

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

net carrying amount of the financial asset (after deducting the allowance for credit loss). Financial assets are written off either partially or fully when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering a financial asset in its entirely or a portion thereof.

(iv) Derecognition of financial assets

Toyota derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when Toyota transfers the contractual right to receive cash flows from financial assets in transactions in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are transferred to another entity. When Toyota continues to retain control over a transferred financial asset in a situation in which it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of its risk and economic value, Toyota recognizes the retained interest on such financial asset and the relevant liabilities that might possibly be paid in association therewith.

(2) Financial liabilities

(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.

(ii) Subsequent measurement

Toyota subsequently measures financial liabilities at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortization under the effective interest method and gain or losses on derecognition are recognized as finance income or costs and recognized in profit or loss.

(iii) Derecognition of financial liabilities

Toyota derecognizes financial liabilities when the financial liabilities expire, that is, when the liability identified in the contract expires due to performance, discharges, cancels, or expires.

(3) Derivative financial instruments

Toyota employs derivative financial instruments, including forward foreign exchange contracts, foreign currency options, interest rate swaps, interest rate currency swap agreements and interest rate options, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. All derivative transactions are measured at fair value as assets or 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

TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

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:

(1) Retail receivables portfolio

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

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.

(2) Finance lease receivables portfolio

Finance lease receivables are related to new vehicle lease contracts. The contract periods of these primarily range from 2 to 5 years. Lease contracts acquired must first meet specified credit standards after which Toyota assumes ownership of the leased vehicle. Toyota is responsible for contract collection and administration during the lease period.

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.

(3) Wholesale and other dealer loan receivables portfolio

Toyota provides wholesale financing to qualified dealers to finance inventories. Toyota acquires security interests in vehicles financed at wholesale. In cases where additional security interests would be required, Toyota takes dealership assets or personal assets, or both, as additional security. If a dealer defaults, Toyota has the right to liquidate any assets acquired.

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

Toyota manages the wholesale and other dealer loan receivables portfolio as one portfolio based on the risk characteristics associated with the underlying finance receivables.

Allowance for credit losses on finance receivables -

The allowance for credit losses on finance receivables is measured at the portfolio level, based on a systematic, ongoing review and evaluation performed as part of the credit risk evaluation process, historical loss

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

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.

(1) Retail receivables portfolio

With respect to retail receivables, Toyota reviews whether the credit risk on finance receivables has increased significantly. To evaluate the risk, Toyota uses the changes for the possibility of a credit loss occurring or days in arrears as an index. Toyota assesses the significant increases in credit risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due. When the credit risk on finance receivables has not increased significantly since initial recognition, Toyota measures the loss allowance for that finance receivables at an amount equal to

12-month

expected credit losses at the reporting date.

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.

(2) Finance lease receivables portfolio

With respect to the finance lease receivables portfolio, Toyota always measures loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. 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) Wholesale and other dealer loan receivables portfolio

With respect to the wholesale and other dealer loan receivables portfolio, receivables are sorted primarily by credit qualities based on internal risk assessments. Toyota reviews the change of the segment as an index whether the credit risk on finance receivables has increased significantly since initial recognition to assess these receivables for credit risk. Toyota assesses the significant increases in credit risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due. If the credit risk on finance receivables has not increased significantly since initial recognition, Toyota measures the loss allowance for that finance receivables at an amount equal to

12-month

expected credit losses at the reporting date.

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 are credit-impaired such as a debtor’s worsened financial conditions, breach of contract due to default or delayed contractual payments.

F-17

Table of Contents

TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Suspension of payment over a certain period of time and/or situations where contractual obligations are not being met are considered as defaults in accordance with internal management rules.

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.

Property, plant and equipment -

Property, plant and equipment is measured based on the cost model and carried at its cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Expenditures relating to major renewals and improvements are capitalized; minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations as incurred. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment, except for land that is not subject to depreciation, is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the respective assets according to general class, type of structure and use. The estimated useful lives range from 2 to 65 years for buildings and from 2 to 20 years for machinery and equipment.

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.

F-18

Table of Contents

TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION

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.

(1) Capitalized development cost

Development expenditure for a product is capitalized only when there is a technical and commercial feasibility of completing the development, Toyota has the intention, ability and sufficient resources to use the outcome of the development, it is probable that the outcome will generate a future economic benefit, and the cost can be measured reliably.

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.

(2) Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets mainly consist of software for internal use and amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, mainly 5 years. Goodwill is not material to Toyota’s consolidated statement of financial position.

Impairment of

non-financial

assets -

At the end of the reporting period, the carrying amount of

non-financial

assets other than inventories and deferred tax assets are assessed to determine whether or not there is any indication of impairment. If there is such an indication, the recoverable amount of such an asset or a cash-generating unit is estimated. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit exceeds the 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

TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

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.

Employee benefit obligations -

Toyota has both defined benefit and defined contribution plans for employees’ retirement benefits.

(1) Defined benefit plan

The present value of defined benefit obligations and service cost are principally determined for each plan using the projected unit credit method. The net defined benefit liability (asset) is the present value of the defined benefit obligations less the fair value of plan assets. If the fair value of plan assets is in excess of the present value of defined benefit obligations, the amount of any asset to be recognized is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan and reductions in the future contributions to the plan. Current service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as net income (loss) on the statement of net income.

Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss upon occurrence.

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.

(2) Defined contribution plan

For defined contribution plans, when the employees render services, the contribution payables are recognized in profit or loss.

Liabilities for quality assurance -

Toyota generally warrants its products against certain manufacturing and other defects. Provisions for product warranties are provided for specific periods of time and/or usage of the product and vary depending upon the nature of the product, the geographic location of the sale and other factors. The accrued warranty costs represent management’s best estimate at the time of sale of the total costs that Toyota will incur to repair or replace product parts that fail while still under warranty. The amount of accrued estimated warranty costs is primarily based on historical experience of product failures as well as current information on repair costs. An estimate of warranty claim accrued for each fiscal year is calculated based on the estimate of warranty claim per unit. The estimate of warranty claim per unit is calculated comprehensively by dividing the actual amounts of warranty claim by the number of sales units for the fiscal year.

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.

F-22

Table of Contents

TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

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.

Earnings per share attributable to Toyota Motor Corpora

tion

Basic earnings per share attributable to Toyota Motor Corporation is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Toyota Motor Corporation by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding with adjustment for treasury stock during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share attributable to Toyota Motor Corporation is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Toyota Motor Corporation by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding taking into consideration the effect of dilutive securities.

4. Significant accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a continuous basis. Changes in these accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates were revised and in any future periods affected.

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 ¥2,192,934 million and ¥2,190,436 million as of March 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively.

The risk is arisen from the failure of customers or dealers to meet the terms of their contracts with Toyota or otherwise fail to perform as agreed. Toyota manages its credit risk by defining risk management methods and management systems for specific risks in accordance with the regulations on risk management. Based on such regulations, Toyota mitigates the credit risk through periodical monitoring of the customer’s credit status and undertaking the maturity control and account balance control, while detecting promptly any doubtful accounts caused by deterioration in the financial conditions.

Please see Note 3 “Allowance for credit losses on finance receivables” about measuring method of the expected credit losses on receivables related to financial services.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

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.

The net changes in the allowance for credit losses relating to the retail receivables are as follows:

For the year ended March 31, 2023 and 2024, the amount of finance receivables the terms of which were modified due to deterioration in credit conditions was not significant for any portfolio of finance receivables, and the amount of payment defaults on finance receivables so modified were not significant for any portfolio of such receivables.

(3) Liquidity risk

To secure cash on hand necessary for carrying out the operation, Toyota appropriately borrows from the financial institutions and issues medium-term notes, corporate bonds or commercial paper, and there is a risk of failing to execute the payment on due date because of deterioration of fund procurement environment etc.

Toyota manages liquidity risk by monitoring the fund demand of each group company as appropriate, preparing a monthly-based funding plan, and comparing it with the daily cash flow. In addition to holding sufficient cash and cash equivalents in order to secure the liquidity and stability of funds, to prepare for emergency situations such as the sudden fund demand and market liquidity deterioration, a commitment line has been set up.

the

balance of credit limits and other non-contractual credit facilities with major banks is ¥104,000 million and ¥47,000 million, respectively.

(4) Foreign exchange risk

Toyota is subject to the foreign currency exposure through transactions in foreign currencies related to purchase, sale and finance associated with conducting business worldwide. Toyota is exposed to fluctuations risks related to future profitability or assets and liabilities regarding operating cash flow denominated in foreign currencies and various financial instruments. The most significant foreign currency exposure is primarily caused by the U.S. dollar and the euro.

Toyota uses derivative financial instruments including foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign currency options, interest rate currency swap agreements, and others, to manage the exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Toyota uses

Value-at-risk

analysis measurement (“VaR”) to assess the risk of exchange rate fluctuation. Potential impact of

pre-tax

cash flows on VaR-integrated foreign currency positions (including derivatives) for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2024 is as follows:


	Yen in millions
	VaR
	Year-end		Average		Maximum		Minimum
For the year ended March 31, 2023		381,600		393,175		418,900		369,800
For the year ended March 31, 2024		411,300		403,025		413,800		389,000

The Monte Carlo simulation method is used for Toyota’s VaR measurement, and measurement is based on a 95% confidence interval and a

ten-day

holding period.

(5) Interest rate risk

In preceding with business activities, Toyota is exposed to interest rate risk due to fluctuation in market interest rates as it procures and invests funds necessary for working capital and capital investment. To maintain a desirable level of exposure related to interest rate fluctuation risk and minimize interest expense, Toyota conducts various financial instruments transactions.

(6) Market price fluctuation risk

Toyota is exposed to risks arising from increased costs due to commodity price fluctuations, such as iron and steel, precious metals and

non-ferrous

alloys used in the manufacture of automobiles. Toyota controls the price risk associated with the purchase of those commodities by maintaining inventory at the minimum level.

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, 2023, and 2024 is ¥321,472 million and ¥364,120 million, respectively.

20. Derivative financial instruments

(1) Undesignated derivative financial instruments

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

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, 2022, 2023 and 2024 were ¥773 million, ¥(129,782) million and ¥(267,190) 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.

(3) Credit risk related contingent features

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

The aggregate fair value amount of derivative financial instruments that contain credit risk related contingent features that are in a net liability position after being offset by cash collateral as of March 31, 2023 and 2024 is ¥12,623 million and ¥13,166 million, respectively. The aggregate fair value amount of assets that are already posted as cash collateral as of March 31, 2023 and 2024 is ¥111,249 million and ¥98,840 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 ¥13,166 million as of March 31, 2024. See Note 22 for details.

21.

Fair value measurement

(1) Definition of fair value hierarchy

In accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, Toyota classifies fair value measurement into the following three levels based on the observability and significance of the inputs used.


Level 1:		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2:		Fair value measurement based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly

Level 3:		Fair value measurement based on models using unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities

F-59

Table of Contents

TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(2) Method of fair value measurement

The fair value of assets and liabilities is determined using relevant market information and appropriate valuation methods.

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

(i) Cash and cash equivalents -

Cash equivalents include money market funds and other investments with original maturities of three months or less. In the normal course of business, substantially all cash and cash equivalents and time deposits are highly liquid and are carried at amounts which approximate fair value due to their short duration.

(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.

(iii) Receivables related to financial services -

The fair value of receivables related to financial services is estimated by discounting expected cash flows to present value using internal assumptions, including prepayment speeds, expected credit losses and collateral value.

As unobservable inputs are utilized, the fair value of receivables related to financial services is classified as Level 3.

(iv) Other financial assets -

(Public and corporate bonds)

Public and corporate bonds include government bonds. Japanese bonds and foreign bonds, including U.S., European and other bonds, represent 30% and 70% (as of March 31, 2023) and 29% and 71% (as of March 31, 2024) 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 86% (as of March 31, 2023) and 85% (as of March 31, 2024) 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

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.

(v) Derivative financial instruments -

Toyota employs derivative financial instruments, including foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign currency options, interest rate swaps, interest rate currency swap agreements and interest rate options to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Toyota primarily estimates the fair value of derivative financial instruments using industry-standard valuation models that require observable inputs including interest rates and foreign exchange rates, and the contractual terms. The usage of these models does not require significant judgment to be applied. These derivative financial instruments are classified as Level 2. In other certain cases when market data are not available, key inputs to the fair value measurement include quotes from counterparties, and other market data. Toyota assesses the reasonableness of changes of the quotes using observable market data. These derivative financial instruments are classified as Level 3. Toyota’s derivative fair value measurements consider assumptions about counterparty and Toyota’s own

non-performance

risk, using such as credit default probabilities.

(vi) Short-term and long-term debt -

The fair values of short-term and long-term debt including the current portion, except for secured loans provided by securitization transactions using special-purpose entities (“Loans Based on Securitization”), are estimated based on the discounted amounts of future cash flows using Toyota’s current borrowing rates for similar liabilities. As these inputs are observable, the fair value of these debts is classified as Level 2.

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.

23. Employee benefits

(1) Overview of post-employment benefit Plans

Upon terminations of employment, employees of TMC and subsidiaries in Japan are entitled, under the retirement plans of each company, to

lump-sum

indemnities or pension payments, based on current rates of pay and lengths of service or the number of “points” mainly determined by those. Under normal circumstances, the minimum payment prior to retirement age is an amount based on voluntary retirement. Employees receive additional benefits on involuntary retirement, including retirement at the age limit.

Effective October 1, 2004, 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.

F-65

Table of Contents

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.

(4) Fair value of plan assets

Toyota’s policy and objective for plan asset management is to maximize returns on plan assets to meet future benefit payment requirements under risks which Toyota considers permissible. Asset allocations under the plan asset management are determined based on plan asset management policies of each plan which are established to achieve the optimized asset compositions in terms of the long-term overall plan asset management. When actual allocations are not in line with target allocations, Toyota rebalances its investments in accordance with the policies. Prior to making individual investments, Toyota performs

in-depth

assessments of corresponding factors including category of products, industry type, currencies and liquidity of each potential investment under consideration to mitigate concentrations of risks such as market risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. To assess performance of the investments, Toyota establishes bench mark return rates for each individual investment, combines these individual bench mark rates based on the asset composition ratios within each asset category, and compares the combined rates with the corresponding actual return rates on each asset category.

(7) Impact on future cash flow

Contributions to plan assets by TMC and some of its consolidated subsidiaries are determined by various factors such as employee salary levels and years of service, funded status of plan assets, and actuarial calculations. In addition, according to the rules of the defined benefit corporate pension law, the corporate pension fund system recalculates the amount of the balance every five years with the end date of the reporting period as the base date so that financial balance can be maintained in the future. TMC and some of its consolidated subsidiaries may make a necessary contribution if the reserve amount is below the minimum reserve amount.

In the following year (the year ending March 31, 2025), Toyota expects to contribute ¥45,860 million for Japanese plans and ¥16,493 million for Foreign plans to the post-employment benefit plans.

The following pension benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid:


	Yen in millions
Years ending March 31,	Japanese plans		Foreign plans

(8) Benefit obligations for

non-retirement

pension for retirees and benefit obligations for absentee

Toyota’s U.S. subsidiaries provide certain health care and life insurance benefits to eligible retired employees. In addition, Toyota provides benefits to certain former or inactive employees after employment, but before retirement. These benefits are provided through various insurance companies, health care providers and others. The costs of these benefits are recognized over the period the employee provides credited service to Toyota. Toyota’s obligation under these arrangements are not material.

(9) Payroll expenses

Payroll expenses included in “Cost of products sold” and “Selling, general and administrative” in the consolidated statement of income (including expenses for post-employment benefit plans) for the years ended March 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024 are ¥3,550,882 million, ¥3,985,518 million and ¥4,385,112 million, respectively.

24. Liabilities for quality assurance

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

The following table shows Toyota Motor Corporation shareholders’ equity per share. Toyota Motor Corporation shareholders’ equity per share amounts are calculated by dividing Toyota Motor Corporation shareholders’ equity in the consolidated statement of financial position by common shares issued and outstanding at the end of the year (excluding treasury stock).


	Yen in millions		Thousands of shares		Yen
	Toyota Motor Corporation shareholders’ equity		Common shares issued and outstanding at the end of the year (excluding treasury stock)		Toyota Motor Corporation shareholders’ equity per share

As of March 31, 2023		28,338,706		13,565,180		2,089.08
As of March 31, 2024		34,220,991		13,474,172		2,539.75

“Diluted earnings per share attributable to Toyota Motor Corporation” equals “Basic earnings per share attributable to Toyota Motor Corporation” for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2024, because there were no potential dilutive shares during such periods.

30. Contractual commitments and contingent liabilities

(1) Contractual commitments

Contractual commitments relating to purchase of property, plant and equipment, other assets, and services are ¥522,336 million

and

¥4,712,085 million as of March 31, 2023 and 2024.

(2) Guarantees

Toyota enters into contracts with Toyota dealers to guarantee customers’ payments of their installment payables that arise from installment contracts between customers and Toyota dealers, as and when requested by Toyota dealers. Guarantee periods are set to match maturity of installment payments, and as of March 31, 2024, range from 1 month to 8 years; however, they are generally shorter than the useful lives of products sold. Toyota is required to execute its guarantee primarily when customers are unable to make required payment.

The maximum potential amount of future payments are ¥3,600,631 million and ¥3,310,990 million as of March 31, 2023 and 2024. Liabilities for guarantees totaling ¥16,759 million and ¥11,851 million have been provided as of March 31, 2023 and 2024. Under these guarantee contracts, Toyota is entitled to recover any amount paid by Toyota from the customers whose original obligations Toyota has guaranteed.

(3) Market treatment such as recalls, damages and lawsuits

Toyota and other automakers have been named in certain class actions. The actions against Toyota in Brazil and Argentina are being litigated.

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 unfavorable judgment both in the court of first instance 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 Toyota should record in the consolidated financial statements as a result of the aforementioned

F-83

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

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.

TMC has a concentration of labor supply in employees working under collective bargaining agreements and a substantial portion of these employees are working under the agreement that will expire on August 31, 2024.

31. Details of company organization

(1) Major subsidiaries

(2) Structured entities

(i)

Consolidated structured entities

F-84

TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Toyota periodically securitizes receivables related to financial services and vehicles on leases for liquidity and funding purposes and transfers them to special purpose entities. Toyota is deemed to have the power to direct the activities of these entities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performances. Therefore, Toyota has consolidated them.

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, ¥5,037,203 million and ¥6,257,786 million receivables related to financial services, ¥5,245,195 million and ¥6,371,509 million secured debt were included in Toyota’s consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively.

(ii)

Unconsolidated structured entities

Other investment trusts and other special purpose entities are instructed based on contractual arrangements, and are designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the entities. The trusts and the special purpose entities are defined as structured entities but are determined that Toyota lacks the power to direct the activities of these investments that most significantly impact the trust’s economic performance and, therefore does not consolidate the investment trusts and the special purpose entities. Investments in the investment trusts and the special purpose entities are held at fair value and are included in “Other financial assets” in the consolidated statement of financial position. The maximum exposure to loss is limited to the carrying value of its investment. The carrying value of the trusts totaled ¥17,217 million and ¥92,875 million as of March 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The carrying value of the special purpose entities totaled ¥784,826 million and ¥1,911,621 million as of March 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively. Toyota does not provide support that is not contractually required to the investments.
