as it helps preserve the Earth’s environment.
Fujio Cho, Chairman
The unprecedented global economic crisis significantly impacted our bottom line in fiscal 2009,
ended March 31, 2009, resulting in an operating loss for only the second time in the Company’s
history. I sincerely regret the concern this has caused stakeholders—our shareholders and
investors, customers, business partners, and members of the local communities in which we
operate. I assure you that the speedy restoration of Toyota’s business vitality—and the laying
of strong foundations for future growth—are our top management priorities.
Today, the automobile industry is facing its toughest challenges ever. But as an industry
that affects society on a global scale, we have an exceptionally important role to play. Our first
responsibility, of course, is to provide customers around the world with the attractive and
appealing cars they truly want. To help us fulfill that responsibility while protecting the global
environment, we have greatly accelerated our development of hybrid vehicles and other
environmentally friendly technologies.
Toyota is rooted in local communities worldwide, and we will continue to do our utmost to
contribute to society, economic growth, and environmental protection in the countries in which
we operate. To that end, we are trying to provide jobs and develop human resources through
education and training programs, and have returned to the genchi genbutsu (on-site, hands-on
experience) roots of Toyota’s monozukuri philosophy—an all-encompassing approach to
manufacturing that results in added value for all stakeholders.
In June 2009, we introduced a new management team with a strong focus on on-site
operational management. As we continue to dedicate ourselves to the creation of better
automobiles, we are also strengthening our Groupwide efficiency and human resources
development efforts.
In closing, I would like to ask for the continued support of our shareholders and investors
in the days ahead. With your help—and the bold, resolute action of our committed
management team—I am confident that we can restore Toyota to stable growth and continue
to increase our corporate value for decades to come.

President’s Message
”
we will continue our quest to make better cars.
Akio Toyoda, President
Having been appointed president of Toyota Motor Corporation at the Ordinary General
Shareholders’ Meeting held on June 23, 2009, I would like to begin by expressing heartfelt
thanks for the warm, ongoing support of our stakeholders worldwide.
Today, the state of the global economy continues to have a devastating effect, not just on
automobile manufacturers, but also on parts suppliers and other smaller companies across the
entire automobile industry. At Toyota, both vehicle sales and production have fallen sharply,
severely impacting business results in fiscal 2009, ended March 31, 2009.
As our new management team sets sail under these stormy economic conditions, we feel a
deep sense of responsibility to our shareholders and investors.
Since Toyota’s founding, we have always made it our pledge to “make better cars and
contribute to society.” To fulfill this pledge, we have put the customer first, practiced genchi
genbutsu (on-site, hands-on experience), and dedicated ourselves to providing high-quality
vehicles at an affordable price. I believe it is these fundamental elements of Toyota’s DNA,
passed down over seven decades since our founding, that will enable us to overcome the
challenges we currently face.
To help us achieve our goals, we are implementing a stronger product-oriented
management model focused on making better cars. We have also taken a fresh look at what it
means to be an automobile manufacturer, and are redoubling our commitment to the
Customer First and genchi genbutsu philosophies that are an integral part of Toyota’s
corporate heritage. More specifically, we are reviewing every aspect of our business from the
customer’s point of view—including technological development, manufacturing, sales, and
service—so that we can develop new products, reduce costs and continue to offer customers
the cars they truly want at a price they can realistically afford. In addition, our renewed
emphasis on the genba enables us to better anticipate, as well as respond to, the needs of
customers and society.

contributing to the decrease in operating income prospects are ¥800.0 billion from a decrease in vehicle
unit sales and changes in the sales volume and mix, and ¥450.0 billion from the assumed exchange rate
of a stronger Japanese yen. Meanwhile, we will take our emergency profit improvement initiatives to an
even higher level in fiscal 2010, and are anticipating an enormous contribution of ¥800.0 billion due to
cost reduction efforts and decreases in fixed costs.
We aim to achieve cost reductions of ¥340.0 billion by expanding target models for cost reduction
activities, increasing cost reductions at manufacturing plants, and introducing cost reduction activities at
Japan 25.7 % the design stage.

labor costs significantly as well by combining employment security and labor cost efficiency through
such measures as implementation of work sharing at overseas operations. And we aim at significant
reduction of general and administrative expenses and sales expenses.
We view this cost reduction of ¥800.0 billion as merely the starting point and aim to improve more
efficiency to make greater progress in improving earnings.
In addition to such measures for cost reduction, we continue to deliver as many vehicles as
possible that are desired by customers. Recently, to encourage the purchasing of eco-friendly vehicles,
favorable government policies—such as scrapping incentives—have been launched in North America,
Europe, and Japan. We have an extensive lineup of eco-friendly vehicles, such as hybrid vehicles, and
aim to increase production and sales utilizing these government policies.

Sustainable growth measures for more cost reductions. And we also create a structure for efficient development,
production, and sales that can flexibly respond to changes in the external environment. With regard to
capital expenditures, we plan to improve capital efficiency by maximizing the use of unemployed and

Toyota deems the benefit of its shareholders as one of its priority management policies, and it is
working to implement reforms to establish a corporate structure that can achieve continuous growth in
order to enhance its corporate value. We will strive to continue to pay dividends while giving due
consideration to factors such as business results for each term, investment plans, and our cash reserves.
With respect to the dividends for fiscal 2009, we have determined that since we are facing the most
difficult business environment in our history, it is extremely difficult to maintain the level of dividends
paid in the previous fiscal year. We declared an annual dividend payment of ¥100 per share at the end
of fiscal 2009, which is a decrease of ¥40 from the previous fiscal year.
With respect to the repurchase of our own shares, of the shares authorized at the 104th Ordinary
General Shareholders’ Meeting in 2008, which were the lesser of 30 million shares or the number of
shares equivalent to ¥200 billion in cost of repurchase, 14.01 million shares were repurchased at a total
cost of ¥69.9 billion until the 105th Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held in June 2009. In fiscal
2009, we repurchased 14.94 million shares at a total cost of ¥72.8 billion. Since we began repurchasing
shares in fiscal 1997, the cumulative number of shares repurchased as of the end of June 2009 was
736.98 million shares at a total cost of ¥2,868.8 billion.
In order to flexibly respond to the changing economic conditions, Toyota will utilize its internal
funds: to secure a solid management foundation; to improve product performance to meet customers’
needs; to further the early commercialization of next-generation technologies in the areas of the
environment, energy, and safety; and to establish a structure for efficient development, production, and
sales in both the domestic and overseas markets. We will not repurchase our own shares for the time
being, as we decided to prioritize securing our cash reserves under the present business environment.
We will decisively strive towards an earlier recovery of our performance in order to meet
shareholders’ expectations.

The right way forward for Toyota is defined by the Company’s founding mission
to “make better cars and contribute to society.”
It is also marked by a strong commitment to putting the customer first,
practicing genchi genbutsu, and providing high-quality vehicles at an affordable price,
so that customers around the world can enjoy the benefits of owning and driving better cars.
Since the latter half of last year, the global automobile industry has faced a difficult operating environment.
Although further major changes are also anticipated,
Toyota has overcome many challenges in its long history of making automobiles,
and will continue to do so in the future.
In 1938, just one year after the Company’s founding, Toyota opened its first mass production facility in
Koromo, Japan. It was a clear demonstration of Toyota’s desire to contribute to the economic growth of the
nation by pioneering the creation of a domestic automobile industry. This strong commitment to making
better cars and contributing to society through product creation still lives on at Toyota today.
Contributing to society means responding to the needs of society and enabling people to lead more
bountiful lives by providing them with better cars. And as a corporate citizen, it means putting down local
roots, paying taxes, and helping regional economies to prosper.
Toyota’s history shows this spirit of monozukuri product creation in action.

(currently Toyota Motor Corporation) in the year of its establishment
B G1 truck, Toyota’s first export vehicle, being loaded for shipment to China
C Production line at Toyota’s first mass production factory in Koromo, Japan (currently Honsha Plant)
Toyota’s history is also a history of tribulations. We faced a management crisis in 1950, pollution problems and
oil crises in the 1970s, and trade issues and voluntary export controls in the 1980s. But whatever obstacles we
faced, we overcame them by working together with our suppliers and dealers, using imagination and creativity.
Along with our corporate culture of Customer First and the genba first, the Companywide emphasis on
technological development, and a healthy corporate environment in which people can teach and be taught—
continually learning from one other—it is this ability to work together that is one of our great strengths.
Beginning in fiscal 2003, we increased our production capacity by more than 500,000 vehicles a year.
Although this enabled us to meet our customers’ needs, in the end it did not allow us to capitalize on our
fundamental strengths. Now, when the entire automobile industry is threatened, it is more important than ever
for every employee to share a sense of emergency, and work together as a group to better serve customers
and society, realizing the full potential of our Toyota strengths to establish a solid foundation from which to
overcome the serious challenges we face.
For Toyota to establish this solid foundation, it is important not only to strengthen technological
development and productivity, but also to focus intently on the customer first monozukuri spirit
together with suppliers and dealers. The management team installed on June 23, 2009, has called for
making better cars through product-oriented management strengthened by market-oriented
management.
By focusing on the basic principles of product and market management, employees across the
Toyota Group can concentrate accumulated expertise in their respective fields. In addition,
management resources can be efficiently allocated to technology and product development. It is this
emphasis on the genba that will make it possible for us to create even more attractive and appealing
cars.
An attractive and appealing car is a car that is a joy to own, drive, and share good times in. It is
exciting and fun for everyone on board. This is the kind of car that product- and market-oriented
management allows us to provide.
To provide the vehicles that customers truly want, and to ensure speedy implementation of
Customer First and genchi genbutsu philosophies, President Toyoda is supported by a new
management team of five executive vice presidents. In addition to their usual functions and
areas of responsibility, four of the management team members will oversee regional
operations, and the fifth will oversee new product management and technological
development. Maintaining close communication at all times, the management team will work
to clearly define the right way forward and implement effective product- and market-oriented
management.
“ Guided by genchi genbutsu thinking, I will listen to the opinions of on-site personnel
to get a firm grasp of the situation, and provide management that enables us
to build a monozukuri organization that can respond flexibly to changing circumstances.”
Atsushi Niimi, Executive Vice President (North America Operations)
“ In the highly competitive European market, I will work to refine Toyota’s strengths
in customer first quality and technology, and build the brand power
needed to ensure that customers continue to choose Toyota.”
Shinichi Sasaki, Executive Vice President (Europe Operations)
Focusing on Products
Product-oriented management enables Toyota to offer cars that meet the needs of customers in each
region, at a price those customers can truly be satisfied with.
Toyota is also bolstering its human resources and training programs to foster the growth of
employees who can work together as a team to identify emerging customer needs, and take the
customer’s point of view in every area of operations, from technological development and
manufacturing, to sales and service.
In addition, we are drawing on our genchi genbutsu skill and expertise to review product
development and materials costs.
The new Toyota Prius that went on sale in May 2009 combines world-beating, 38km/L* fuel
efficiency with driving performance that rivals that of a conventionally powered 2.4L car, further
consolidating the leadership position that has made our name synonymous with hybrid technology. In
addition, a 30% reduction in hybrid unit cost from the previous model makes the new Prius even more
affordable, so even more customers can enjoy the benefits it offers.
In Japan, we will introduce a total of four hybrid models in fiscal 2009, including the new Prius and
the HS250h, the first hybrid exclusive Lexus model. Overseas, we will introduce a total of three new
hybrid models. And in late fiscal 2009, in preparation for full commercial release, we will begin
lease-sales of approximately 500 units of a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHV) worldwide. Based on the new
Prius and powered by lithium-ion batteries that can be recharged using conventional household AC
power, the new plug-in model will be offered to fleet owners around the world.
In addition, we are strengthening efforts aimed at mass production of compact electric vehicles,
development of next-generation batteries, adaptability to various alternative fuel issues—including
biofuel—development of fuel cell hybrid vehicles (FCHVs), and early commercial introduction of new
safety technologies.

A B C
Focusing on Markets
Market-oriented management enables us to meet the needs of individual countries and regions through
careful analysis of the role that we should play, and the presence we should strive for, in each market.
To respond to the needs of customers worldwide, our basic product strategy from 2000 to the
present has aimed to offer a full lineup of vehicles in all countries and regions. As of March 31, 2009, we
are rooted in communities worldwide, with 11 R&D facilities and 75 production facilities in Japan and
abroad, and a global sales network that covers over 170 countries and regions.
However, amid the severe automobile market conditions of today, it has become difficult to
expand in this manner and still fulfill our role as an automobile manufacturer that contributes to a
bountiful society, economic growth, and the future of the Earth’s environment.
Signs of a medium-term recovery in global automobile demand can be seen in gradually improving
automobile financing operations, a greater number of vehicles being retired from service than are being
purchased, and continued growth in China, India, Brazil, and other emerging markets. But new fuel
controls aimed at environmental preservation are anticipated, and there is a strong likelihood that the
structure of markets will change. In addition, there is a need to grasp changes in regional markets as
quickly as possible.
Our regional vision is the foundation from which we can quickly grasp such changes and develop
strategies from the customers’ point of view.
Toyota’s regional vision recognizes that different regions are at different stages of economic
development, and that relationships with competing manufacturers differ in each country and region. It
allows us to identify the stance we should take, and to move from a full lineup product strategy in all
markets to one that is focused on the specific types of vehicles that are most appealing to customers in
each market. With this regional vision, Toyota can anticipate the needs of regional customers, propose
new lifestyles, and develop new types of cars for customers to enjoy.
Emerging Markets: High-Quality Vehicles at an Affordable Price that Meet Regional Needs
China and other emerging markets in Asia and Central and South America promise to become a strong
engine for Toyota’s future growth. China’s market, in particular, is potentially as large as the U.S. market,
and needs to be addressed in a straightforward manner. We are establishing a business model that will
enable us to see things from the customer’s point of view, and will grow our business as the market
grows by introducing competitive models that meet people’s needs in a timely manner.
In the rest of Asia, South America, and other areas, there are still regions where Toyota’s share is
low, and further growth in demand is anticipated. In addition to manufacturing affordable, high-quality
vehicles that can ride the wave of regional motorization, we will also develop products that can rank
alongside the IMV* as key strategic models.
* IMV: An abbreviation for Innovative International Multipurpose Vehicle. Toyota uses an optimized procurement
and production system spread across Asia, Argentina, and South Africa to provide these multipurpose vehicles
to over 140 countries and regions worldwide.
Toyota’s strength lies not just in its ability to develop vehicles through innovative technology, but also in
the tight integration of its Group companies. Drawing on this strength, we are aggressively
implementing a variety of measures to increase customer interest in cars. We hold events to help
customers understand the constantly evolving performance and features of cars where everyone, from
children to adults, can experience the joy that cars offer, as well as the new automobile-related lifestyles
and services we propose and provide. In addition, we conduct activities to help dealership staff deepen
their knowledge of our products, so that we can invigorate the sites where we interact with customers.

Toyota adopted FAS 157 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. In FAS 157, three levels of input which are used to measure fair value
are as follows.
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in
markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities
The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2009:

In the reconciliation table above, derivative financial instruments are presented net of assets and (liabilities). The other amount
primarily includes the impact of currency translation adjustments.
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. During the year ended March 31, 2009, Toyota
measured certain finance receivables at fair value of ¥25,932 million ($264 million) based on the collateral value, resulting in an
impairment loss of ¥10,011 million ($102 million). This fair value measurement on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2009 was
classified as level 3.
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.
Toyota’s management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on
the framework in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission.
Based on this evaluation, management concluded that Toyota’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
March 31, 2009.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Aarata, an independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial
statements included in this report, has also audited the effectiveness of Toyota’s internal control over financial reporting as of
March 31, 2009, as stated in its report included herein.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income,
shareholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Toyota Motor Corporation
and its subsidiaries at March 31, 2008 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended March 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting
as of March 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial
statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether
effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements
included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with 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.
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.
