Toyota's articles of incorporation provide that retained earnings can be distributed as dividends pursuant to a resolution of its board of directors. Toyota's board of directors resolves to pay year-end dividends to holders of common shares and registered pledgees of common shares 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. The articles of incorporation currently provide that in the event that Toyota pays a year-end dividend to holders of common shares, it will pay a year-end dividend to any holders of Model AA Class Shares or registered pledgees of Model AA Class Shares of record as of the record date for the year-end dividend, in the amount payable on the Model AA Class Shares pursuant to their terms (\"AA Dividends\"), in preference to holders of common shares or registered pledgees of common shares. 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 shares and pledgees of common shares of record as of September 30, the record date, in each year by a resolution of its board of directors. The articles of incorporation currently provide that in the event that Toyota pays such interim dividends, Toyota will pay an amount equivalent to one-half of the AA Dividends (\"AA Interim 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 shares or registered pledgees of common shares. If the amount of the dividends from surplus paid to holders of Model AA Class Shares or registered pledgees of Model AA Class Shares is less than the prescribed amount of AA Dividends in any fiscal year, the amount of the shortfall will be carried forward to and accumulate in the following fiscal year and thereafter. Dividends from surplus will be paid to holders of Model AA Class Shares or registered pledgees of Model AA Class Shares in https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312519178062/d702309d20f.htm#fin702309_3 11/368 9/24/2019 Annual Report preference to the payment of interim and year-end dividends until such payment reaches the amount of the accumulated unpaid dividends on the Model AA Class Shares. 2 https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312519178062/d702309d20f.htm#fin702309_3 12/368 9/24/2019 Annual Report Table of Contents For a further discussion of Model AA Class Shares, please see \"Additional InformationMemorandum and Articles of Association.\" In addition, under the Companies Act of Japan (the \"Companies Act\"), dividends may be paid to holders of common shares and pledgees of record of common shares 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 common share by Toyota for each of the periods shown. The periods shown are the six months ended on that date. The U.S. dollar equivalents for the cash dividends shown are based on the noon buying rate for Japanese yen on the last date of each period set forth below. Period Ended September 30, 2013 March 31, 2014 September 30, 2014 March 31, 2015 September 30, 2015 March 31, 2016 September 30, 2016 March 31, 2017 September 30, 2017 March 31, 2018 September 30, 2018 March 31, 2019 Cash Dividends per Common Share Yen U.S. dollars 65.0 100.0 75.0 125.0 100.0 110.0 100.0 110.0 100.0 120.0 100.0 120.0 0.66 0.97 0.68 1.04 0.83 0.97 0.98 0.98 0.88 1.12 0.88 1.08 Toyota deems the benefit of its shareholders as one of its priority management policies, and it continues to work to improve its corporate structure to realize sustainable growth in order to enhance its corporate value. Toyota will strive to continue to pay stable dividends on its common shares aiming at a consolidated dividend payout ratio, defined as dividends per common share divided by net income attributable to Toyota Motor Corporation per common share, of 30%. Toyota will pay dividends on the First Series Model AA Class Shares in accordance with a prescribed calculation method. In order to successfully compete in this highly competitive industry, Toyota plans to utilize its internal funds for the early commercialization of technologies for next-generation environment and safety giving priority to customer safety and sense of security. Considering these factors, with respect to the dividends for fiscal 2019, Toyota has determined to pay a year-end dividend of 120 yen per common share by a resolution of the board of directors pursuant to Toyota's articles of incorporation. As a result, combined with the interim dividend of 100 yen per common share, the annual dividend will be 220 yen per common share, and the total amount of the dividends on common shares for the year will be 626.8 billion yen. Furthermore, Toyota will flexibly repurchase shares with the aim to promote capital efficiency by comprehensively taking into consideration cash reserves, stock price levels and the like. In fiscal 2019, Toyota repurchased 36 million common shares, for an aggregate purchase price of 249.9 billion yen, in order to return to shareholders the profits derived from Toyota's business operations in the interim period. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312519178062/d702309d20f.htm#fin702309_3 13/368 9/24/2019 Annual Report 3 https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312519178062/d702309d20f.htm#fin702309_3 14/368 9/24/2019 Annual Report Table of Contents Furthermore, Toyota has determined to repurchase 50 million common shares (maximum), for an aggregate purchase price of 300.0 billion yen (maximum), in order to return to shareholders the profits for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 by a resolution of the board of directors on May 8, 2019. 3.B CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS Not applicable. 3.C REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS Not applicable. 3.D RISK FACTORS Industry and Business Risks The worldwide automotive market is highly competitive. The worldwide automotive market is highly competitive. Toyota faces intense competition from automotive manufacturers in the markets in which it operates. Although the global economy continues to recover gradually, competition in the automotive industry has further intensified amidst difficult overall market conditions. In addition, competition is likely to further intensify in light of further continuing globalization in the worldwide automotive industry, possibly resulting in 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 and financing terms. Increased competition may lead to lower vehicle unit sales, which may result in a further downward price pressure and adversely affect Toyota's financial condition and results of operations. Toyota's ability to adequately respond to the recent rapid changes in the automotive market and to maintain its competitiveness will be fundamental to its future success in existing and new markets and to maintain its market share. There can be no assurances that Toyota will be able to compete successfully in the future. The worldwide automotive industry is highly volatile. Each of the markets in which Toyota competes has been subject to considerable volatility in demand. Demand for vehicles depends to a large extent on 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 general economic environment for the fiscal year ended March 2019, although there were some weaknesses, the world economy, as a whole, showed moderate recovery. The Japanese economy has been on a moderate recovery due to improvements in employment and income conditions. For the automotive markets, although markets have progressed in a steady manner in developed countries, markets in China, which had experienced continued growth, and some resource-rich countries have slowed down. The changes in demand for automobiles are continuing, and it is unclear how this situation will transition in the future. Toyota's financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected if the changes in demand for automobiles continues or progresses further. 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 https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312519178062/d702309d20f.htm#fin702309_3 15/368 9/24/2019 Annual Report 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. 4 https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312519178062/d702309d20f.htm#fin702309_3 16/368 9/24/2019 Annual Report Table of Contents 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 and reliability. The timely introduction of new vehicle models, at competitive prices, meeting rapidly changing customer preferences and demand is more fundamental to Toyota's success than ever, as the automotive market is rapidly transforming in light of the changing global economy. There is no assurance, however, that Toyota will adequately and appropriately respond to changing customer preferences and demand with respect to quality, safety, reliability, styling and other features in a timely manner. Even if Toyota succeeds in perceiving customer preferences and demand, there is no assurance that Toyota will be capable of developing and manufacturing new, price competitive products in a timely manner with its available technology, intellectual property, sources of raw materials and parts and components, and production capacity, including cost reduction capacity. Further, there is no assurance that Toyota will be able to implement capital expenditures at the level and times planned by management. Toyota's inability to develop and offer products that meet customers' preferences and demand with respect to quality, safety, reliability, styling and other features in a timely manner could result in a lower market share and reduced sales volumes and margins, and may adversely affect Toyota's financial condition and results of operations. Toyota's ability to market and distribute effectively is an integral part of Toyota's successful sales. Toyota's success in the sale of vehicles depends on its ability to market and distribute effectively based on distribution networks and sales techniques tailored to the needs of its customers. There is no assurance that Toyota will be able to develop sales techniques and distribution networks that effectively adapt to changing customer preferences or changes in the regulatory environment in the major markets in which it operates. Toyota's inability to maintain well-developed sales techniques and distribution networks may result in decreased sales and market share and may adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations. Toyota's success is significantly impacted by its ability to maintain and develop its brand image. In the highly competitive automotive industry, it is critical to maintain and develop a brand image. In order to maintain and develop a brand image, it is necessary to further increase customers' confidence by providing safe, high-quality products that meet customer preferences and demand. If Toyota is unable to effectively maintain and develop its brand image as a result of its inability to provide safe, high-quality products or as a result of the failure to promptly implement safety measures such as recalls when necessary, vehicle unit sales and/or sale prices may decrease, and as a result revenues and profits may not increase as expected or may decrease, adversely affecting its financial condition and results of operations. Toyota relies on suppliers for the provision of certain supplies including parts, components and raw materials Toyota purchases supplies including parts, components and raw materials from a number of external suppliers located around the world. For some supplies, Toyota relies on a single supplier or a limited number of suppliers, whose replacement with another supplier may be difficult. Inability to obtain supplies from a single or limited source supplier may result in difficulty obtaining supplies and may restrict Toyota's ability to produce vehicles. Furthermore, even if Toyota were to rely on a large number of suppliers, first-tier suppliers with whom Toyota directly transacts may in turn rely on a single second-tier supplier or limited second-tier suppliers. Toyota's ability to continue to obtain supplies from its suppliers in a timely and cost-effective manner is subject to a number of factors, some of which are not within Toyota's control. These factors include the ability of Toyota's suppliers to provide a continued source of supply, and Toyota's ability to effectively compete and obtain competitive prices from suppliers. A loss of any single or limited source supplier or inability to obtain supplies from suppliers in a timely and cost-effective manner could lead to increased costs or delays or suspensions in Toyota's production and deliveries, which could have an adverse effect on Toyota's financial condition and results of operations. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312519178062/d702309d20f.htm#fin702309_3 17/368 9/24/2019 Annual Report 5 https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312519178062/d702309d20f.htm#fin702309_3 18/368 9/24/2019 Annual Report Table of Contents 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. 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's 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 viruses, breaches due to unauthorized use, errors or malfeasance by employees and others who have or gain access to the networks and systems Toyota depends on, service failures or bankruptcy of third parties such as software development or cloud computing vendors, power shortages and outages, and utility failures or other catastrophic events like natural disasters. In particular, cyber-attacks or other intentional malfeasance are increasing in terms of intensity, sophistication and frequency, and Toyota may be the subject of such attacks. Such attacks could materially 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. 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 Russian ruble, 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 \"Operating and Financial Review and Prospects Operating Results Overview Currency Fluctuations,\" \"Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,\" and notes 21 and 22 to Toyota's consolidated financial statements. High prices of raw materials and strong pressure on Toyota's suppliers could negatively impact Toyota's profitability. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312519178062/d702309d20f.htm#fin702309_3 19/368 9/24/2019 Annual Report Increases in prices for raw materials that Toyota and Toyota's suppliers use in manufacturing their products or parts and components such as steel, precious metals, non-ferrous alloys including aluminum, and plastic parts, 6 https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312519178062/d702309d20f.htm#fin702309_3 20/368 9/24/2019 Annual Report Table of Contents may lead to higher production costs for parts and components. This could, in turn, negatively impact Toyota's future profitability because Toyota may not be able to pass all those costs on to its customers or require its suppliers to absorb such costs. 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 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, Toyota may incur various costs including significant costs for free repairs. Many governments also impose tariffs and other trade barriers, taxes and levies, or enact price or exchange controls. 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. As an automotive manufacturer, Toyota may become subject to legal proceedings in respect of various issues, including product liability and infringement of intellectual property. Toyota may also be subject to legal proceedings brought by its shareholders and governmental proceedings and investigations. Toyota is in fact currently subject to a number of pending legal proceedings and government investigations. A negative outcome in one or more of these pending legal proceedings could adversely affect Toyota's financial condition and results of operations. For a further discussion of governmental regulations, see \"Information on the Company Business Overview Governmental Regulation, Environmental and Safety Standards\" and for legal proceedings, please see \"Information on the Company Business Overview Legal Proceedings.\" Toyota may be adversely affected by natural calamities, political and economic instability, fuel shortages or interruptions in social infrastructure, wars, terrorism and labor strikes. Toyota is subject to various risks associated with conducting business worldwide. These risks include natural calamities; political and economic instability; fuel shortages; interruption in social infrastructure including energy supply, transportation systems, gas, water, or communication systems resulting from natural hazards or technological hazards; wars; terrorism; labor strikes and work stoppages. Should the major markets in which Toyota purchases materials, parts and components and supplies for the manufacture of Toyota products or in which Toyota's products are produced, distributed https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312519178062/d702309d20f.htm#fin702309_3 21/368 9/24/2019 Annual Report or sold be affected by any of these events, it may result in disruptions and delays in the operations of Toyota's business. Should significant or prolonged disruptions or delays related to Toyota's business operations occur, it may adversely affect Toyota's financial condition and results of operations. 7 https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312519178062/d702309d20f.htm#fin702309_3 22/368 9/24/2019 Annual Report Table of Contents ITEM 4.

Toyota also conducts business in finance and other industries. Toyota sold 8,977 thousand vehicles in fiscal 2019 on a consolidated basis. Toyota had net revenues of 30,225.6 billion and net income attributable to Toyota Motor Corporation of 1,882.8 billion in fiscal 2019. Toyota's business segments are automotive operations, financial services operations and all other operations. The following table sets forth Toyota's sales to external customers in each of its business segments for each of the past three fiscal years. Automotive Financial Services All Other 2017 25,032,229 1,783,697 781,267 Yen in millions Year Ended March 31, 2018 26,347,229 1,959,234 1,073,047 2019 27,034,492 2,120,343 1,070,846 Toyota's automotive operations include the design, manufacture, assembly and sale of passenger vehicles, minivans and commercial vehicles such as trucks and related parts and accessories. Toyota's financial services business consists primarily of providing financing to dealers and their customers for the purchase or lease of Toyota vehicles. Toyota's financial services business also provides mainly retail installment credit and leasing through the purchase of installment and lease contracts originated by Toyota dealers. Related to Toyota's automotive operations, Toyota is working towards having all of its vehicles become connected vehicles, creating new value and reforming businesses by utilizing big data obtained from those connected vehicles, and establishing new mobility services.

Toyota's primary markets for its automobiles are Japan, North America, Europe and Asia. The following table sets forth Toyota's sales to external customers in each of its geographical markets for each of the past three fiscal years. Japan North America Europe Asia Other* 2017 8,798,903 10,033,419 2,517,601 4,279,617 1,967,653 Yen in millions Year Ended March 31, 2018 9,273,672 10,347,266 2,940,243 4,497,374 2,320,955 2019 9,520,148 10,585,934 3,055,654 4,832,392 2,231,553 * \"Other\" consists of Central and South America, Oceania, Africa and the Middle East. During fiscal 2019, 24.8% of Toyota's automobile unit sales on a consolidated basis were in Japan, 30.6% were in North America, 11.1% were in Europe and 18.7% were in Asia. The remaining 14.8% of consolidated unit sales were in other markets. The Worldwide Automotive Market Toyota estimates that annual worldwide vehicle sales totaled approximately 97 million units in 2018. Automobile sales are affected by a number of factors including: social, political and economic conditions; introduction of new vehicles and technologies; and costs incurred by customers to purchase and operate automobiles. These factors can cause consumer demand to vary substantially from year to year in different geographic markets and in individual categories of automobiles. In fiscal 2019, the U.S. saw steady employment growth which supported consumer spending, economies in Europe remained solid under monetary easing measures, and Japan continued to experience a favorable employment environment supporting consumption. On the other hand, China slowed down due to credit contraction triggered by interest-rate hikes in the U.S., and emerging countries in Asia and other regions also saw a slowdown in consumption owing to a concern over a possible recession. In the automotive industry during 2018, with respect to developed countries, the automotive market remained unchanged from the previous year in the United States mainly due to the effect of interest-rate hikes, while it also remained flat in Europe as the U.K. market shrank. In Japan, demand expanded due primarily to the introduction of new models. The automotive market in China shrank for the first time in 20 years, and as a result, even though India and other emerging countries saw their markets expand, the automotive markets as a whole remained unchanged from the previous year. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312519178062/d702309d20f.htm#fin702309_3 25/368 9/24/2019 Annual Report In the medium- to long-term, Toyota expects the automotive market to continue growing driven principally by growth in China and other emerging markets. Global competition is expected to be severe, as competition in compact and low-price vehicles intensifies, and the pace of technological advancement and development of new products quickens, including in response to a heightened global awareness of the environment and more stringent fuel economy standards. In 2018, China, North America, Europe and Asia were the world's largest automotive markets. The share of each market across the globe, which Toyota estimates based on the available automobile sales data in each 9 https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312519178062/d702309d20f.htm#fin702309_3 26/368 9/24/2019 Annual Report Table of Contents country and region information, was 29% for China, 22% for North America (21% excluding Mexico and Puerto Rico), 22% for Europe and 11% for Asia. In China, new vehicle sales decreased to approximately 28.2 million units. In North America, new vehicle sales were approximately 21.2 million units, largely unchanged from the previous year. In Europe, new vehicle sales also remained largely flat at approximately 21.3 million units. In Asia (including India but excluding Japan and China), new vehicle unit sales increased from the previous year to approximately 10.7 million units. 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 governmentimposed 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's ability to compete in the global automotive industry will depend in part on Toyota's successful implementation of its business strategy. This is subject to a number of factors, some of which are not in Toyota's control. These factors are discussed in \"Operating and Financial Review and Prospects\" and elsewhere in this annual report. Toyota Global Vision In March 2011, Toyota unveiled its \"Toyota Global Vision\" corporate outline for the future, which serves not only to give direction to Toyota employees around the world, but also to convey such direction to customers and to the public at large. Toyota will work to achieve sustained growth through the realization of the following ideals which are parts of the Vision: Toyota Global Vision Toyota will lead the way to the future of mobility, enriching lives around the world with the safest and most responsible ways of moving people. Through our commitment to quality, constant innovation and respect for the planet, we aim to exceed expectations and be rewarded with a smile. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312519178062/d702309d20f.htm#fin702309_3 27/368 9/24/2019 Annual Report 10 https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312519178062/d702309d20f.htm#fin702309_3 28/368 9/24/2019 Annual Report Table of Contents We will meet challenging goals by engaging the talent and passion of people, who believe there is always a better way. \"The safest and most responsible ways of moving people\" Safety is Toyota's highest priority, and Toyota will continue to provide world-class safety. Toyota will also continue to contribute to environmental quality and to human happiness by using leading environmental technology and by deploying that technology in a growing line of vehicle models.

Toyota will honor the spirit of diversity in recruiting, training and promoting capable individuals around the world. Human resources development at Toyota will continue to promote the transfer of the company's monozukuri spirit of conscientious manufacturing and related skills and know-how from one generation to the next. Based on these initiatives, the Toyota group will contribute to \"enriching lives of communities\" by providing \"ever-better cars.\" This is expected to encourage more customers to purchase Toyota cars and thereby lead to the establishment of a stable business base. The automotive industry is facing a time of profound transformation that could happen only once in a hundred years in response to significant technological innovation such as electrification, connected vehicles and automated driving. Toyota is committed to realizing a mobility society of the future that enables everyone to enjoy freedom of movement beyond the conventional concept of vehicles. Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050 Positioning responding to environmental issues as one of the most prioritized challenges for management, Toyota has tackled head-on activities such as the development and promotion of next-generation vehicles including hybrid vehicles (\"HVs\") and fuel cell vehicles (\"FCVs\"), efficient production that puts less of a burden on the environment, the recycling of end-of-life vehicles and hybrid vehicle batteries, planting trees for the coexistence of humans and nature in harmony, and conservation of ecosystems. However, in recent years, the seriousness and reach of environmental issues has increased, as evidenced by global warming, water shortages, resource depletion, and degradation of biodiversity. In response to the situation, Toyota believes it is necessary to take on new challenges that consider the world 20 or 30 years in the future, in order to remain closely aligned with the global environment. Accordingly, Toyota announced Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050 in October 2015. In order to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society, the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050 has set forth the following six challenges for Toyota to address. Those challenges are to reduce CO2 emissions from driving and producing, as well as throughout the lifecycle of, vehicles, and to ensure a net positive impact on the Earth and society toward 2050. 1. New Vehicle Zero CO2 Emissions Challenge 2. Life Cycle Zero CO2 Emissions Challenge 3. Plant Zero CO2 Emissions Challenge 4. Challenge of Minimizing and Optimizing Water Usage 5. Challenge of Establishing a Recycling-Based Society and Systems https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312519178062/d702309d20f.htm#fin702309_3 31/368 9/24/2019 Annual Report 6. Challenge of Establishing a Future Society in Harmony with Nature Further strengthening collaboration with the Toyota group and all other stakeholders, Toyota will consolidate new ideas, dynamism and technology to tackle together the realization of a truly sustainable society from a long-term perspective. 12 https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094517/000119312519178062/d702309d20f.htm#fin702309_3 32/368 9/24/2019 Annual Report Table of Contents Automotive Operations Toyota's revenues from its automotive operations were 27,079.0 billion in fiscal 2019, 26,397.9 billion in fiscal 2018 and 25,081.8 billion in fiscal 2017. Toyota produces and sells passenger vehicles, minivans and commercial vehicles such as trucks. Toyota Motor Corporation's subsidiary, Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. (\"Daihatsu\"), produces and sells mini-vehicles and compact cars. Hino Motors, Ltd. (\"Hino\"), also a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation, produces and sells commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses. Toyota also manufactures automotive parts, components and accessories for its own use and for sale to others. Vehicle Models Toyota's vehicles (produced by Toyota, Daihatsu and Hino) can be classified into three categories: HVs, conventional engine vehicles, and FCVs. Toyota's product line-up includes subcompact and compact cars, mini-vehicles, mid-size, luxury, sports and specialty cars, recreational and sport-utility vehicles, pickup trucks, minivans, trucks and buses. Toyota has set, as a milestone to strive towards in seeking to realize a low-carbon, sustainable society, a target of \"annual global sales of more than 5.5 million electrified vehicles by 2030.\" Hybrid Vehicles The world's first mass-produced hybrid car was Toyota's Prius. It runs on an efficient combination of a gasoline engine and motor. This system allows the Prius to travel more efficiently than conventional engine vehicles of comparable size and performance.
