I would like to express our gratitude for your ongoing support and understanding of our company. Thanks to your support we have been able to add yet another year of growth ring to the history of our company.
As technological innovation in the automotive industry such as electrification, automated driving, and connected vehicles heats up, a battle under new rules of competition and with new rivals has begun, not one about winning or losing, but one about surviving or dying.
“Having speed and being open” are the key to our survival. In addition to revising our organizational structure to further accelerate the decision-making process, we will also learn from, and work with, other companies and partners from different industries, with the aim of achieving an even better mobility society in the future. To make steady progress to that end, we are working exhaustively to eliminate waste and also making a company-wide effort in the area of cost planning.
We have declared our intention to transition from a car manufacturer to a mobility company so that cars will continue to be loved by the general public for the next 100 years, and to create a society where every individual can experience greater freedom and joy of movement. Change may not be as easy for Toyota, which has grown into a huge automotive company. However, under the slogan of “Start Your Impossible,” each and every executive and employee of our company will challenge their impossible, and create new forms of mobility that will make the impossible possible, through innovation and passion.
We look forward to your ongoing support.

Attachment to the Notice of Convocation of the 114th Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting
Business Report (Fiscal Year under review: April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2018)
1. Outlook of Associated Companies
(1) Progress and Achievement in Operation
General Economic Environment in FY2018
Reviewing the general economic environment for the fiscal year ended March 2018 (“FY2018”), the world economy has continued its moderate recovery on the back of the global expansion of trade and production and steady domestic demand. The Japanese economy has also been on a moderate recovery due to improvements in employment and income conditions.
For the automotive industry, markets have remained stable in the developed countries and expanded in China, but have slowed down in some resource-rich countries. Meanwhile, there have been movements in different countries and regions to tighten existing regulations or introduce new regulations for the reduction of greenhouse gases, including compulsory quotas for the sale of electrified vehicles.
Overview of Operations
In this business environment, the Toyota group has been striving to make “ever-better cars” that exceed customer expectations. We have completely remodeled the “Camry,” Toyota’s globalmid-size sedan, by introducing a new platform and powertrain units based on the TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture), realizing responsive driving performance and a beautiful design. We also newly launched the “JPN TAXI” to provide usability and comfort to a wide range of people, including children, elderly people, wheelchair users, and visitors to Japan from abroad, while embodying the spirit of Japanese hospitality. Furthermore, we reintroduced the “Hilux,” a pickup truck that has been widely used by customers worldwide since its initial launch in 1968, into the Japanese market after a13-year hiatus. The Lexus brand launched theall-new “LS,” a luxury sedan equipped with innovative styling, emotional driving, and advanced active safety technologies. We also reinforced our commitment to cultivate a sense of excitement around car culture by, for example, launching the new “GR” sports car series, a lineup of vehicles based on technology and knowledge obtained through motorsports activities such as the World Rally Championship (WRC), a competition we returned to in 2017 after 18 years.
In this way, we have actively improved the productline-up to further meet customer needs and carried out vigorous sales efforts in collaboration with dealers in each country and region in which we operate. As a result, global vehicle sales for FY2018, including the Daihatsu and Hino brands, increased by 190 thousand units (or 1.9%) from FY2017 to 10,441 thousand units. We also made concerted efforts throughout the entire Toyota group on profit improvement activities such as cost reduction efforts.
15
Innon-automotive operations, we have developed a network for providing financial services throughout the world including emerging countries, and have proceeded to construct a solid business base through reinforced customer service, risk control, investment in information infrastructure, and the development of a talented workforce, while strengthening our financial standing by improving profitability. We have also accelerated initiatives focused on the future, including the introduction of telematics insurance and the provision of financial services incar-sharing and ride-sharing. In the housing business, consolidated housing sales reached 16,222 units, mainly thanks to the reinforced collaboration with TOYOTA HOUSING CORPORATION and Misawa Homes Co., Ltd. We are also conducting a wide range of activities such as the launch of a rental service of the “WelwalkWW-1000” rehabilitation assist robot in the field of partner robots.

(5) Issues to be Addressed
As for the future automotive market, developed countries are expected to remain steady while emerging countries are expected to expand gradually on the back of economic recovery and other factors. Meanwhile, the automotive industry is facing the time of profound transformation that could happen only once in a hundred years in response to increasing serious environmental issues and other social challenges, technological innovation such as automated driving, connected vehicles and robotics which adopts the rapidly evolving technology of artificial intelligence, and diversification of lifestyles.
In such a business environment, the Toyota group intends to accelerate activities in the following fields to pursue its objective of “challenging for the future” to create new value and “growing steadily each year” to strengthen true competitiveness year by year, while ensuring quality and safety as top priority.
18
1) Electrification
The electrification of vehicles is imperative to address environmental issues. The Toyota group aims to provide the most suitable vehicles that match customer preferences in light of the energy and infrastructure development situation in each country and region, as well as the characteristics ofeco-cars, based on the stance thateco-cars can only truly have a significant positive impact if they are widely used.
In addition to hybrid electric vehicles, the global cumulative sales of which exceeded 10 million units in 2017, andplug-in hybrid electric vehicles, we are making headway in the development and popularization of fuel cell electric vehicles, the “ultimateeco-car.” For battery electric vehicles, we are accelerating our initiatives by establishing the EV Business Planning Dept. as an internal venture, as well as a new company for the joint development of technology with Mazda Motor Corporation and DENSO CORPORATION. We began a feasibility study of working together with Panasonic Corporation in the area of automotive batteries, which are crucial technologies for electrified vehicles. We are also proceeding with research and development of a solid-state battery that will serve as a high-performing next-generation battery.
We will further accelerate technological developments to realize a sustainablelow-carbon society, with the aspirational goal of achieving “global annual sales of more than 5.5 million electrified vehicles in 2030.”

2) Automated driving
Since the 1990s, the Toyota group has continuously engaged in automated driving technology R&D aimed at contributing to the complete elimination of traffic casualties. The development philosophy, “Mobility Teammate Concept” is an approach built on the belief that people and vehicles can work together in the service of safe, convenient, and efficient mobility.
To further promote the usage of automated driving technology and advanced safety technology, we have developed a package of automatic braking and other active safety technologies, and have fully integrated the package into almost all passenger cars we sell in Japan, North America, and Europe. We also installed one of the world’s most advanced driving assistance technology in the “LS,” our new model launched in October 2017.
Toyota Research Institute, Inc., our research and development base established to focus on artificial intelligence as the underpinning technology for automated driving launched a fund to expand collaboration with venture companies who have innovative technologies of their own. We have also established the Toyota Research Institute – Advanced Development, Inc. as an entity to develop fully-integrated, production-quality software that will allow us to efficiently link the results of our advanced research to product development.
19
We are working on the development and popularization of automated driving technology with the ultimate aim of providing all people with safe, convenient, and enjoyable mobility.

3) MaaS (Mobility as a Service)
The Toyota group is endeavoring to create new vehicle values and mobility services that fit the diverse values and lifestyles of customers by having all vehicles connected in addition to electrification and automated driving. We will accelerate our transformation from an automotive company into a mobility company while collaborating with various other industries and IT companies.
The“e-Palette Concept Vehicle” presented at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in the U.S. in January 2018 is a next-generation electric vehicle designed exclusively for the new mobility service “MaaS” to meet the demands of future multi-mode transportation and business applications beyond the traditional vehicle concepts. We will continue our efforts toward full-fledged practical use by openly collaborating with service providers and development companies from the planning stage.

4) Alliance
We are also promoting alliances with the aim of enhancing technology and product competitiveness as the business environment becomes more and more complex.
In August 2017, Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) entered a business and capital alliance with Mazda Motor Corporation and began considering matters such as a joint technology development for electric vehicles. In March 2018, we established MAZDA TOYOTA MANUFACTURING, U.S.A., INC., a new joint-venture company that will produce vehicles in the U.S. In November 2017, TMC entered into a memorandum of understanding with SUZUKI MOTOR CORPORATION to introduce electric vehicles in the Indian market. We will promote activities in which parties concerned mutually benefit from synergy effects through alliance in a spirit of “having speed and being open.”
20
For alliance with different industries, TMC entered into a basic agreement with JapanTaxi Co., Ltd. in February 2018 to consider joint development of taxi services. We will consider business collaboration in such areas as joint development of vehicle-dispatch support systems andbig-data collection by utilizing their respective expertise in services and technologies.
By collaborating with partners who share the passion to “make our mobility society better and better,” we will create new values useful for people’s lives with the aim of realizing sustainable growth.

5) Business innovation
We have continually restructured the organization and reviewed our executive lineups in order to further promote the “development of human resources” and the “innovation of the way we work” which support the activities mentioned above. Due to other industries entering the market and rapid technological innovation, structural changes are taking place in today’s automotive industry at an unprecedented speed and scale, in which we are facing a crucial battle to survive tomorrow.
Under these circumstances, we started a product-basedin-house company system in April 2016 to facilitate “quick judgment, quick decision and quick action” through “genchi genbutsu(on-site learning and problem-solving),” with the principle of “Customer First” more firmly in mind. In January 2018, we brought forward the timing of executive changes, which had used to take place each April, in order to further accelerate management oversight that is fully coordinated with the workplace. Additionally, to encourage executives to take initiatives to reform their roles and approaches, we reviewed executive positions and appointed people with high levels of expertise from both inside and outside the company based on the principle of putting the right people in the right places. For the organization, we established a new TPS Group with the aim of improving productivity by thoroughly reinforcing the Toyota Production System (TPS), the base of the Toyota group’s competitiveness, in areas not limited to manufacturing.
All of our executives and employees will continue taking on challenges in a belief that “there is always a better way.”
21
Through these initiatives, and by delivering “ever-better cars,” the Toyota group aims to contribute to society. This is expected to encourage more customers to purchase Toyota cars and thereby lead to the establishment of a stable business base. By maintaining this cycle, we aim to realize sustainable growth and enhance our corporate value. In addition, through full observance of corporate conducts and ethics including compliance with applicable laws and regulations, the Toyota group will remain committed to its social responsibilities.
By staying true to our founding spirit of “contributing to society by Monozukuri, manufacturing,” we will move forward through the united efforts of the executives and employees toward the realization of the Toyota Global Vision with humility, gratitude and passion. We sincerely hope that our shareholders will continue to extend their patronage and support to us.

(6) Policy on Distribution of Surplus by Resolution of the Board of Directors
TMC 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. TMC will strive for the stable and continuous payment of dividends aiming at a consolidated payout ratio of 30% to shareholders of common stock while giving due consideration to factors such as business results for each term, investment plans and its cash reserves. In addition, TMC will pay a prescribed amount of dividends to shareholders of First Series Model AA Class Shares.
With regard to the repurchase of treasury stock, TMC will implement a flexible capital policy in response to business circumstance with a view to improving shareholder return and capital efficiency.
In order to survive tough competition, TMC will utilize its internal funds mainly for the early commercialization of technologies for next-generation environment and safety, giving priority to customer safety and security.

We have audited, pursuant to Article 444 (4) of the Companies Act of Japan, the consolidated financial statements, which consist of the consolidated balance sheets, the consolidated statements of income, the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements of Toyota Motor Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) for the fiscal year from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018.
Management’s Responsibility for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the latter part of Article 120 (1) of the Ordinance on Accounting of Companies as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to Article120-3 (3) of said Rules that allow the partial omission of the disclosure items required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Japan. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making the risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, while the purpose of the financial statements audit is not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as examining the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
62
Opinion:
In our opinion, the above consolidated financial statements prepared by partially omitting the disclosure items required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in accordance with the provisions of the latter part of Article 120 (1) of the Ordinance on Accounting of Companies as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to Article120-3 (3) of said Rules present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and the results of operations of the corporate group which consists of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for the period covered by the consolidated financial statements.
Conflict of interest:
We have no interest in or relationship with the Company which is required to be disclosed pursuant to the provisions of the Certified Public Accountants Act of Japan.

The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatement of the unconsolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules, whether due to fraud or error. In making the risk assessment, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the unconsolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, while the purpose of the financial statements audit is not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as examining the overall presentation of the unconsolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion:
In our opinion, the unconsolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and the results of operations of the Company for the period covered by the unconsolidated financial statements and the supplementary schedules in conformity with Japanese generally accepted accounting principles.
Conflict of interest:
We have no interest in or relationship with the Company which is required to be disclosed pursuant to the provisions of the Certified Public Accountants Act of Japan.
