NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 1 – Interim Financial Data
Basis of Presentation
The information furnished in these unaudited interim financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2010 do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, significant accounting policies, and other notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Toyota Motor Credit Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 (“fiscal 2010”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 10, 2010. References herein to “TMCC” denote Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, and references herein to “we”, “our”, and “us” denote Toyota Motor Credit Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Investments in Marketable Securities
Investments in marketable securities consist of debt and equity securities. Debt and equity securities designated as available-for-sale (“AFS”) are carried at fair value using quoted market prices where available with unrealized gains or losses included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”), net of applicable taxes. We use the specific identification method to determine realized gains and losses related to our investment portfolio. Realized investment gains and losses are reflected in Investment and Other Income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment
We periodically evaluate unrealized losses on our AFS debt securities portfolio for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). If we have no intent to sell and we believe that it is more likely than not we will not be required to sell these securities prior to recovery, the credit loss component of the unrealized losses are recognized in Investment and Other Income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Income, while the remainder of the loss is recognized in AOCI. The credit loss component recognized in Investment and Other Income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Income is identified as the amount of principal cash flows not expected to be received over the remaining term of the security as projected using a credit cash flow analysis for debt securities.
We perform periodic reviews of our AFS equity securities to determine whether unrealized losses are temporary in nature. If losses are considered to be other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the security is written down to fair value and the write down is reflected in Investment and Other Income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Note 1 – Interim Financial Data (Continued)
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
New Accounting Guidance
In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance in which entities must provide additional disclosures regarding the nature of credit risk inherent in their portfolio of financing receivables, how credit risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses, and the reasons for changes in the allowance for credit losses. This accounting guidance is effective for us on December 31, 2010 and is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance that sets forth the requirements that must be met for a company to recognize revenue from the sale of a delivered item that is part of a multiple-element arrangement when other items have not yet been delivered. This accounting guidance is effective for us on April 1, 2011 and is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance that changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality. The accounting guidance more closely reflects the underlying economics of these transactions. This accounting guidance is effective for us on April 1, 2011 and is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
On April 1, 2010, we adopted new FASB accounting guidance for transfers of financial assets. The new accounting guidance removes the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity and revises the accounting criteria for transfer of financial assets to be considered a sale. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
On April 1, 2010, we adopted new FASB accounting guidance on consolidation of variable interest entities. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
On March 31, 2010, we adopted new FASB accounting guidance requiring disclosure of gross transfers in and out of Level 3 as well as transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurement – Definition and Hierarchy
The accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Fair value should be based on assumptions that market participants would use, including a consideration of nonperformance risk. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Examples of assets currently utilizing Level 1 inputs are most U.S. government securities, actively exchange-traded equity mutual funds, and money market funds.
Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Examples of assets and liabilities currently utilizing Level 2 inputs are certificates of deposit, commercial paper, U.S. government agency securities, corporate debt securities, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, private placement investments in fixed income mutual funds, and most over-the-counter derivatives.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and may require significant judgment in order to determine the fair value of the assets and liabilities. Examples of assets and liabilities currently utilizing Level 3 inputs are structured over-the-counter derivatives with limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation.
The use of observable and unobservable inputs is reflected in the fair value hierarchy assessment disclosed in the tables within this section. The availability of observable inputs can vary based upon the financial instrument and other factors, such as instrument type, market liquidity and other specific characteristics particular to the financial instrument. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires additional judgment by management. The degree of management’s judgment can result in financial instruments being classified as or transferred to the Level 3 category.
We review the appropriateness of fair value measurements including validation processes, key model inputs, and the reconciliation of period-over-period fluctuations based on changes in key market inputs. All fair value measurements are subject to our analysis. Review and approval by management is required as part of the validation process.
TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
Fair Value Methods
Fair value is based on quoted market prices, if available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use as inputs market-based or independently sourced market parameters. We use prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for certain financial instruments. This condition could result in a financial instrument being reclassified from Level 1 to Level 2 or from Level 2 to Level 3.
Valuation Adjustments
Counterparty Credit Valuation Adjustments – Adjustments are required when the market price (or parameter) is not indicative of the credit quality of the counterparty.
Non-Performance Credit Valuation Adjustments – Adjustments reflect our own non-performance risk when our liabilities are measured at fair value.
Liquidity Valuation Adjustments – Adjustments are necessary when we are unable to observe prices for a financial instrument due to market illiquidity.
Valuation Methods
For financial instruments measured at fair value, the following section describes the valuation methodologies, key inputs and significant assumptions.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents, consisting primarily of money market instruments, represent highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at purchase. Generally, quoted market prices are used to determine the fair value of money market instruments.
Marketable Securities
The marketable securities portfolio consists of debt and equity securities. We use quoted prices of identical securities for all U.S. government bonds, exchange-traded equity mutual funds and all other securities if available.
If quoted market prices are not available for specific securities, then we may estimate the value of such instruments using observed transaction prices, independent pricing services, and either internally or externally developed pricing models or discounted cash flows. Where there is limited market activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation model for certain collateralized mortgage and debt obligations, asset-backed securities, and high-yield debt securities, the determination of fair value may require benchmarking yields to that of similar instruments or analyzing default rates. In addition, asset-backed securities may be valued based on external prices or market spreads, using current market assumptions on prepayment speeds and default rates. For certain other asset-backed securities where the ex ternal price is not observable, we may incorporate the deal collateral performance and tranche level attributes into our valuation analysis.
TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
We hold investments in exchange-traded equity mutual funds and private placement fixed income mutual funds. Where the funds produce a daily net asset value that is quoted in an active market, that value is used to value the fund investment and is classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Where the funds produce a daily net asset value that is based on a combination of quoted prices from identical and similar securities and/or observable inputs, the funds are classified within Level 2.
Derivatives
As part of our risk management strategy, we enter into derivative transactions to mitigate our interest rate and foreign currency exposures. These derivative transactions are considered over-the-counter for valuation purposes. All of our derivative counterparties to which we had credit exposure at June 30, 2010 were assigned investment grade ratings by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”).
We estimate the fair value of our derivatives using industry standard valuation models that require observable market inputs, including market prices, yield curves, credit curves, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatilities and the contractual terms of the derivative instruments. For derivatives that trade in liquid markets, such as interest rate swaps, model inputs can generally be verified and do not require significant management judgment.
Certain other derivative transactions trade in less liquid markets with limited pricing information. For such derivatives, key inputs to the valuation process include quotes from counterparties, and other market data used to corroborate and adjust values where appropriate. Other market data includes values obtained from a market participant that serves as a third party pricing agent. In addition, pricing is validated internally using valuation models to assess the reasonableness of changes in factors such as market prices, yield curves, credit curves, interest rates, foreign exchange rates and volatilities.
Our derivative fair value measurements consider assumptions about counterparty credit risk and our own non-performance risk. Generally, we assume that a valuation that uses the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) curve to convert future values to present value is appropriate for derivative assets and liabilities. We consider counterparty credit risk and our own non-performance risk through credit valuation adjustments. In situations in which our net position with a derivative counterparty is an asset, the counterparty credit valuation adjustment calculation uses the credit default probabilities of our derivative counterparties over a particular time period. In situations in which our net position with a derivative counterparty is a liability, we use our own credit default probab ility to calculate the required non-performance credit valuation adjustment. We use a relative fair value approach to allocate the credit valuation adjustments to our derivatives portfolio.
As of June 30, 2010, we reduced our derivative liabilities by $8 million to account for our own non-performance risk. Derivative assets were reduced $11 million to account for counterparty credit risk.

Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
Finance Receivables
Our finance receivables are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis on the balance sheet. In certain instances, for finance receivables for which there is evidence of impairment we may use an observable market price or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The fair values of impaired finance receivables based on the collateral value or market prices where available are reported at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. We may consider additional adjustments to reflect current market conditions in estimating fair value.

Significant Changes to Level 3 Assets During the Period
Level 3 assets net, reported at fair value on a recurring basis increased $31 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The increase is primarily attributable to the decline in swap rates during the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 (“fiscal 2011”).

Note 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The accounting guidance for financial instruments requires disclosures of the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments and the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate their fair value. Financial instruments that are within the scope of this accounting guidance are included in the table below.
The following is a description of financial instruments for which the ending balances as of June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010 are not carried at fair value in their entirety on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Finance Receivables
Fair value of finance receivables is generally determined by valuing expected discounted cash flows using a securitization model. We estimate cash flows expected to be collected using contractual principal and interest cash flows adjusted for specific factors, such as prepayments, default rates, loss severity, credit scores, and collateral type. The securitization model utilizes quoted secondary market rates if available, or estimated market rates that incorporate management’s best estimate of investor assumptions about the portfolio.
Commercial Paper
The carrying value of commercial paper issued is assumed to approximate fair value due to its short duration and generally negligible credit risk. We validate this assumption using quoted market prices where available.
Unsecured Notes and Loans Payable
We use quoted market prices for debt when available. When quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated based on current market rates and credit spreads for debt with similar maturities.
TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)
Secured Notes and Loans Payable
Fair value is estimated based on current market rates and credit spreads for debt with similar maturities. We also use internal assumptions, including prepayment speeds and expected credit losses on the underlying securitized assets, to estimate the timing of cash flows to be paid on these instruments.
The carrying value and estimated fair value of certain financial instruments at June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010 were as follows:
| June 30, 2010 | March 31, 2010 |

Note 4 – Investments in Marketable Securities (Continued)
Other-Than-Temporarily Impaired Securities
In April 2009, the FASB amended the OTTI model for debt securities. The impairment model for equity securities was not affected. Under the revised accounting guidance, an OTTI loss with respect to debt securities must be recognized in earnings if we have the intent to sell the debt security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis.
OTTI Evaluation
An unrealized loss exists when the current fair value of an individual security is less than its amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses that are determined to be temporary in nature are recorded, net of tax, in AOCI in the Consolidated Statement of Shareholder’s Equity. We conduct periodic reviews of securities in unrealized loss positions for the purpose of evaluating whether the impairment is other-than-temporary.
As part of our ongoing assessment of OTTI, we consider a variety of factors. Such factors include the length of time and extent to which the market value has been less than cost, adverse conditions specifically related to the industry, geographic area or financial condition of the issuer or underlying collateral of the security, the volatility of the fair value changes, and changes to the fair value after the balance sheet date.
For equity securities, we also consider our intent and ability to hold the equity security for a period of time sufficient for recovery of fair value. Where we lack that intent or ability, the equity security’s decline in fair value is deemed to be other-than-temporary and is recorded in earnings.
For debt securities, we also consider the factors identified previously. However, for debt securities that we do not intend to sell or with respect to which it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell, we also evaluate expected cash flows to be received to determine whether a credit loss has occurred. In the event of a credit loss, only the amount of impairment associated with the credit loss is recognized in earnings. Amounts relating to factors other than credit losses are recorded in AOCI. For debt securities that we intend to sell or where it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell, the OTTI loss is recorded in earnings.
OTTI Recognition and Measurement
In April 2009, we adopted the new accounting guidance for OTTI and did not record a transition adjustment for securities held at March 31, 2009 that were previously considered other-than-temporarily impaired as we intend to sell or believe it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the securities for which we had previously recognized OTTI.
As of June 30, 2010, AFS debt securities that were identified as other-than-temporarily impaired were written down to their current fair value. For debt securities that we intend to sell or that we believe it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell prior to recovery, an OTTI loss was recognized in earnings. There were no credit losses on impaired debt securities. Additionally, there were no AFS equity securities deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, and therefore, all unrealized losses on AFS equity securities were recognized in AOCI.

Unrealized Losses on Securities
At June 30, 2010, we did not own any investments that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months or more. At March 31, 2010, total gross unrealized loss and fair value of investments that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 consecutive months or more were $21 million and $250 million, respectively. These investments were comprised of private placement fixed income mutual funds. These securities were predominantly investment grade.

Note 8 – Derivatives, Hedging Activities and Interest Expense
Derivative Instruments
We use derivatives as part of our risk management strategy to hedge against changes in interest rate and foreign currency risks. We manage these risks by entering into derivatives transactions with the intent to minimize fluctuations in earnings, cash flows and fair value adjustments of assets and liabilities caused by market volatility. Our use of derivatives is limited to the management of interest rate and foreign currency risks.
Our derivative activities are authorized and monitored by our Asset-Liability Committee, which provides a framework for financial controls and governance to manage these market risks. We use internal models to analyze data from internal and external sources in developing various hedging strategies. We incorporate the resulting hedging strategies into our overall risk management strategies.
Our liabilities consist mainly of fixed and floating rate debt, denominated in a number of different currencies, which we issue in the global capital markets. We hedge our interest rate and currency risk inherent in these liabilities by entering into interest rate swaps, foreign currency swaps and foreign currency forwards, which effectively convert our obligations into U.S. dollar denominated, 3-month LIBOR based payments.
Our assets consist primarily of U.S. dollar denominated, fixed rate receivables. Our approach to asset-liability management involves hedging our risk exposures so that changes in interest rates have a limited effect on our net interest margin and cash flows. We use pay fixed interest rate swaps and caps, executed on a portfolio basis, to manage the interest rate risk of these assets. The resulting asset liability profile is consistent with the overall risk management strategy as directed by the Asset-Liability Committee.
Credit Risk Related Contingent Features
Certain of our derivative contracts are governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreements. Substantially all of these ISDA Master Agreements contain reciprocal ratings triggers providing either party with an option to terminate the agreement at market value in the event of a ratings downgrade of the other party below a specified threshold. In addition, upon specified downgrades in a party’s credit ratings, the threshold at which that party would be required to post collateral to the other party would be lowered.
The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments that contain credit risk related contingent features that are in a net liability position at June 30, 2010 is $1,013 million. In the normal course of business, we posted collateral of $369 million and held collateral of $665 million with counterparties that were in a net liability position with us, resulting in net collateral held of $296 million. At June 30, 2010, if our ratings were to have declined to “A+”, we would have been required to post $372 million of additional collateral to the counterparties with which we were in a liability position at June 30, 2010. If our ratings were to have declined to “BBB+” or below, we would have been required to post $940 million of additional collateral to the counterparties with which we were in a liabi lity position at June 30, 2010. In order to settle all derivative instruments, excluding embedded derivatives and adjustments made for our own non-performance risk, that were in a net liability position at June 30, 2010, we would be required to pay $1,021 million.

3 Represents the effects of fair value adjustments to debt in hedging relationships, accrued redemption premiums, and the unamortized fair value adjustments on the hedged item for terminated fair value hedge accounting relationships. |
4 Calculated based on original notional or par value before consideration of premium or discount.
Included in our unsecured notes and loans payable are unsecured notes and loans denominated in various foreign currencies. At June 30, and March 31, 2010, the carrying value of these notes payable was $25.9 billion and $28.5 billion, respectively. Concurrent with the issuance of these foreign currency unsecured notes, we entered into currency swaps in the same notional amount to convert non-U.S. currency payments to U.S. dollar denominated payments.
Additionally, the carrying value of our unsecured notes and loans payable at June 30, 2010 included $14.6 billion of unsecured floating rate debt with contractual interest rates ranging from 0 percent to 9.7 percent and $31.1 billion of unsecured fixed rate debt with contractual interest rates ranging from 0 percent to 15.3 percent. The carrying value of our unsecured notes and loans payable at March 31, 2010 includes $14.0 billion of unsecured floating rate debt with contractual interest rates ranging from 0 percent to 10.4 percent and $32.7 billion of unsecured fixed rate debt with contractual interest rates ranging from 0 percent to 15.3 percent. Upon issuance of fixed rate notes, we generally elect to enter into interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate payments on notes to floating rate payments. The carrying value adjustment on debt decreased by $610 million at June 30, 2010 compared to March 31, 2010 primarily as a result of a stronger U.S. dollar relative to certain other currencies in which some of our debt is denominated.
As of June 30, 2010, our commercial paper had an average remaining maturity of 42 days, while our notes and loans payable mature on various dates through fiscal 2047.
During the first quarter ended June 30, 2010, we sourced approximately $3.8 billion in funding through the transfer of retail finance receivables to asset-backed securitization vehicles. The notes and loans issued in connection with these transactions are repayable only from collections on the underlying pledged receivables.

Note 11 – Variable Interest Entities
A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is an entity that either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary. We adopted the FASB’s new accounting standard on VIEs on April 1, 2010. The new accounting guidance changes the existing consolidation model for VIEs to a new model based on a qualitative assessment of power and economics, requires ongoing assessments of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and enhances the disclosures about an entity's involvement with a VIE. This standard requires the consolidation of a VIE if an entity has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive residual returns that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We did not consolidate or deconsolidate any VIEs as a result of adopting this standard.
On-balance Sheet Securitization Trusts
We use one or more special purpose entities that are considered VIEs to issue asset-backed securities to third party bank-sponsored asset-backed securitization vehicles and to investors in securitization transactions. The securities issued by these VIEs are backed by the cash flows from finance receivables that have been transferred to the VIEs. Although the transferred finance receivables have been legally sold to the VIEs, we hold variable interests in the VIEs that are expected to absorb a majority of these entities’ expected losses, receive a majority of the expected residual returns, or both. We determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the securitization trusts because (i) our servicing responsibilities for the transferred receivables give us the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIEs, and (ii) our variable interests in the VIEs give us the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive residual returns that could potentially be significant.
The assets of the consolidated securitization VIEs consisted of $6,888 million and $3,037 million in gross retail finance receivables at June 30, 2010, and March 31, 2010, respectively. In addition, TMCC held $359 million and $173 million in cash which represent collections from the underlying pledged receivables at June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively. We classified this cash as restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheet. The liabilities of these consolidated VIEs consisted of $6,356 million and $3,000 million in secured debt and $1 million and $439 thousand in other liabilities at June 30, 2010, and March 31, 2010, respectively. The assets of the VIEs serve as the sole source of payment for the asset-backed securities issued by these entities. Investors in the notes issued by the VIEs do not have recourse to TMCC’s general credit, with the exception of customary representation and warranty repurchase provisions and indemnities.
As primary beneficiary of these entities, we are exposed to credit, interest rate, and prepayment risk from the receivables transferred to the VIEs. However, our exposure to these risks did not change as a result of the transfer of the assets to the VIEs. We may also be exposed to interest rate risk arising from the secured notes issued by the VIEs.
In addition to the credit enhancement described above, we entered into interest rate swaps with certain special purpose entities that issue variable rate debt. Under the terms of these swaps, the securitization trusts are obligated to pay TMCC a fixed rate of interest on certain payment dates in exchange for receiving a floating rate of interest on amounts equal to the outstanding balance of the secured debt. This arrangement enables the securitization trusts to issue variable rate debt that is secured by fixed rate retail finance receivables.
TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 11 – Variable Interest Entities (Continued)
The transfers of the receivables to the special purpose entities in our securitizations are considered to be sales for legal purposes. However, these transactions do not meet the requirements for sale accounting. As a result, the securitized assets and the related debt remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We recognize financing revenue on the pledged receivables and interest expense on the secured debt issued by the trusts. We also maintain an allowance for credit losses on the pledged receivables to cover probable credit losses estimated using a methodology consistent with that used for our non-securitized retail loan portfolio. The interest rate swaps between TMCC and the special purpose entities are considered intercompany transactions and therefore are eliminated in our conso lidated financial statements.

Note 12 – Liquidity Facilities and Letters of Credit
For additional liquidity purposes, we maintain syndicated bank credit facilities with certain banks.
364 Day Credit Agreement
In March 2010, TMCC, its subsidiary Toyota Credit de Puerto Rico Corp. (“TCPR”), and other Toyota affiliates entered into a $5.0 billion 364 day syndicated bank credit facility pursuant to a 364 Day Credit Agreement. The ability to make draws is subject to covenants and conditions customary in a transaction of this nature, including negative pledge provisions, cross-default provisions and limitations on consolidations, mergers and sales of assets. The 364 Day Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes and was not drawn upon as of June 30, and March 31, 2010.
Five Year Credit Agreement
In March 2007, TMCC, TCPR, and other Toyota affiliates entered into an $8.0 billion five year syndicated bank credit facility pursuant to a Five Year Credit Agreement. The ability to make draws is subject to covenants and conditions customary in a transaction of this nature, including negative pledge provisions, cross-default provisions and limitations on consolidations, mergers and sales of assets. The Five Year Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes and was not drawn upon as of June 30, and March 31, 2010.
Letter of Credit Facility Agreement
In addition, TMCC has an uncommitted letter of credit facility totaling $5 million, of which $1 million was issued and outstanding at June 30, and March 31, 2010.
Other Credit Agreements
TMCC has two additional bank credit facilities. The first is a 364 day committed bank credit facility in the amount of JPY 100 billion (approximately $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2010) which was entered into in December 2009 to replace a similar facility which expired. The second is a 364 day uncommitted bank credit facility in the amount of JPY 100 billion (approximately $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2010), which was extended in December 2009 for an additional 364 days. Both of these agreements contain covenants and conditions customary in a transaction of this nature, including negative pledge provisions, cross-default provisions and limitations on consolidations, mergers and sales of assets. Neither of these facilities was drawn upon as of June 30, and March 31, 2010.
We are in compliance with the covenants and conditions of the credit agreements described above.

2 Amounts are not considered to be contractual commitments as they are not binding arrangements under which TMCC is required to perform. At June 30, and March 31, 2010, amounts outstanding were $6.2 billion and $5.9 billion, respectively. |
Commitments
We provide fixed and variable rate credit facilities to vehicle and industrial equipment dealers. These credit facilities are typically used for business acquisitions, facilities refurbishment, real estate purchases, and working capital requirements. These loans are generally collateralized with liens on real estate, vehicle inventory, and/or other dealership assets, as appropriate. We obtain a personal guarantee from the vehicle or industrial equipment dealer or a 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 our exposure under such agreements. We price the credit facilities to reflect the credit risks assumed in entering in to the credit facility. Amounts drawn under these facilities are reviewed for collectability on a quarterly basis, in conjunction with our evaluation of the allowance for credit losses. We also provide financing to various multi-franchise dealer organizations, often as part of a lending consortium, for wholesale, working capital, real estate, and business acquisitions. Of the total credit facility commitments available to vehicle and industrial equipment dealers, $5.2 billion was outstanding at both June 30, and March 31, 2010 and was recorded in Finance receivables, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements containing indemnification provisions standard in the industry related to several types of transactions, including, but not limited to, debt funding, derivatives, securitization transactions, and our vendor and supplier agreements. Performance under these indemnities would occur upon a breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made or given, or a third party claim. In addition, we have agreed in certain debt and derivative issuances, and subject to certain exceptions, to gross-up payments due to third parties in the event that withholding tax is imposed on such payments. In addition, certain of our funding arrangements would require us to pay lenders for increased costs due to certain changes in laws or regulations. Due to the diffic ulty in predicting events which could cause a breach of the indemnification provisions or trigger a gross-up or other payment obligation, we are not able to estimate our maximum exposure to future payments that could result from claims made under such provisions. We have not made any material payments in the past as a result of these provisions, and as of June 30, 2010, we determined that it is not probable that we will be required to make any material payments in the future. As of June 30, and March 31, 2010, no amounts have been recorded under these indemnifications.

Litigation
Various legal actions, governmental proceedings and other claims are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against us with respect to matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Certain of these actions are or purport to be class action suits, seeking sizeable damages and/or changes in our business operations, policies and practices. Certain of these actions are similar to suits that have been filed against other financial institutions and captive finance companies. We perform periodic reviews of pending claims and actions to determine the probability of adverse verdicts and resulting amounts of liability. We establish accruals for legal claims when payments associated with the claims become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal claims and associated costs of defen se may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued for these claims; however, we cannot estimate the losses or ranges of losses for proceedings where there is only a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred. We believe, based on currently available information and established accruals, that the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, but may be material to our operating results for any particular period, depending in part, upon the operating results for such period.
Repossession Class Actions
A cross-complaint alleging a class action in the Superior Court of California Stanislaus County, Garcia v. Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, filed in August 2007, claims that TMCC's post-repossession notice failed to comply with the Rees-Levering Automobile Sales Finance Act of California. Three additional putative class action complaints or cross-complaints were filed making similar allegations. The cases were coordinated in the California Superior Court, Stanislaus County and a Second Amended Consolidated Cross-Complaint and Complaint was subsequently filed in March 2009. The Second Amended Consolidated Cross-Complaint and Complaint seeks injunctive relief, restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief under California's Unfair Competition Law. As a result of mediation in January 2010, t he parties agreed to settle all of the foregoing matters. The proposed settlement, for which we have adequately accrued, is subject to preliminary and final court approval. A fourth case was recently filed which the court has included in the settlement.
Recall-related Class Actions
TMCC and certain affiliates were named as defendants in the consolidated multidistrict litigation, In Re: Toyota Motor Corp. Unintended Acceleration, Marketing, Sales Practices, and Products Liability Litigation consolidated in the United States District Court, Central District of California seeking damages and injunctive relief as a result of alleged sudden unintended acceleration and/or braking defects in certain Toyota and Lexus vehicles. A parallel action was filed against TMCC and certain affiliates on March 12, 2010 by the Orange County District Attorney. See "Item 3. Legal Proceedings" in our fiscal 2010 Form 10-K for more information. On August 2, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint in the multidistrict litigation that does not name TMCC as a defendant. TMCC remains, howe ver, a defendant in the action filed by the Orange County District Attorney

TMCC and certain affiliates had also been named as defendants in a putative bondholder class action, Harel Pia Mutual Fund vs. Toyota Motor Corp., et al., filed in the Central District of California on April 8, 2010, alleging violations of federal securities laws. The plaintiff filed a voluntary dismissal of the lawsuit on July 20, 2010.
On July 22, 2010, the same plaintiff in the above federal bondholder action refiled the case in California state court on behalf of purchasers of TMCC bonds traded on foreign exchanges (Harel Pia Mutual Fund v. Toyota Motor Corp., et al., Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles). The complaint alleges violations of California securities laws, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and other state law claims.
We believe we have meritorious defenses to these claims and intend to defend against them vigorously.

Note 14 – Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 39 percent during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and 38 percent for the same period in fiscal 2010. Our provision for income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $357 million compared to $108 million for the same period in fiscal 2010. This increase in provision is consistent with the increase in our income before tax for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010.
Tax Related Contingencies
We are routinely subject to U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities in various jurisdictions. We are in various stages of completion of several income tax examinations, including an examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the taxable years March 31, 2007 through March 31, 2010. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Internal Revenue Service completed its examination for the taxable years March 31, 2004 through March 31, 2006.
We periodically review our uncertain tax positions. Our assessment is based on many factors including the ongoing IRS audits. For the quarter ended June 30, 2010 this assessment resulted in no change in unrecognized tax benefits.
Our deferred tax assets at June 30, 2010 were $1.8 billion compared with $2.3 billion at March 31, 2010, and were primarily due to the deferred deduction of allowance for credit losses and cumulative federal tax loss carryforwards that expire in varying amounts through fiscal year 2029. The total deferred tax liability at June 30, 2010, net of these deferred tax assets, was $3.6 billion compared with $3.3 billion at March 31, 2010. Realization with respect to the federal tax loss carryforwards is dependent on generating sufficient income prior to expiration of the loss carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable could be reduced if management’s estimates change.

OVERVIEW
Key Performance Indicators and Factors Affecting Our Business
We generate revenue, income, and cash flows by providing retail financing, dealer financing, and certain other financial products and services to vehicle and industrial equipment dealers and their customers. We measure the performance of our financing operations using the following metrics: financing volume, market share, financial leverage, financing margins and loss metrics.
We also generate revenue through marketing, underwriting, and administering insurance agreements related to covering certain risks of vehicle dealers and their customers. We measure the performance of our insurance operations using the following metrics: agreement volume, number of agreements in force, loss metrics, and investment income.
Our financial results are affected by a variety of economic and industry factors, including but not limited to, new and used vehicle markets, the level of Toyota and Lexus sales, new vehicle incentives, consumer behavior, level of employment, our ability to respond to changes in interest rates with respect to both contract pricing and funding, the actual or perceived quality, safety or reliability of Toyota and Lexus vehicles, the financial health of our dealers, and the level of competitive pressure. Changes in these factors can influence the demand for new and used vehicles, the number of contracts that default and the loss per occurrence, the inability to realize originally estimated contractual residual values on our lease earning assets, and our gross margins on financing volume. Additionally, our funding progra ms and related costs are influenced by changes in the global capital markets and prevailing interest rates, as well as our credit ratings, which may affect our ability to obtain cost effective funding to support earning asset growth.
Fiscal 2011 First Quarter Operating Environment
During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, economic activity in the United States remained relatively weak. While there were signs that the labor market began to stabilize and industrial production and business investment and spending began to show positive signs, unemployment rates remained elevated and consumer confidence remained weak. Consumer spending continued to be constrained by high unemployment, modest income growth, lower household wealth and tight credit. In addition, home values remained depressed, and commodity prices continued to fluctuate. As a result, economic recovery in the United States remained uncertain during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, and economic conditions continue to negatively affect some of our customers’ ability to make their payments.
The global capital markets in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 showed signs of improvement as compared to fiscal 2010. From a funding perspective, the market generally stabilized and the extreme volatility and widening credit spreads experienced during fiscal 2010 have lessened. While challenges remain, there were improvements in market access and narrowing of credit spreads during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we continued to maintain broad access to a variety of global markets and continued to issue commercial paper and term debt in both unsecured and secured markets.
Industry wide vehicle sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 in the United States increased as compared to the same period in the prior year. In addition, sales incentives throughout the auto industry increased over the same period. In line with these trends, sales of Toyota and Lexus vehicles by TMS increased 13% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 over the same period in fiscal 2010. The increase in TMS sales is due in large part to increased vehicle incentives and the stabilization of economic conditions in the United States following a period of decline. Our overall net earning assets balance at June 30, 2010 was higher than the balance at June 30, 2009 due to an increase in vehicle financing volume, which was in turn due to an increase in TMS sales.
Despite these challenging conditions, our consumer portfolio continued to show positive signs. We decreased our allowance for credit losses in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 in response to lower levels of delinquency and per unit loss severity in our consumer portfolio. We experienced lower loss severity due to strong used vehicle values during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2010. Prices of used vehicles were at an unprecedented high during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 primarily due to a low supply of used vehicles. In addition, the overall credit quality of our retail portfolio in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 continued to benefit from previous enhancements we introduced in our purchasing practices. The enhancements, combined with the strengthening of our collection efforts, contributed to decreased levels of delinquency and net charge-offs during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Fiscal 2011 First Quarter Summary
| Three months ended June 30, |
(Dollars in millions) | 2010 | 2009 |
Net income: | | |
Finance operations | $533 | $138 |
Insurance operations | 37 | 38 |
Total net income | $570 | $176 |
We achieved consolidated net income of $570 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with $176 million for the same period in fiscal 2010. Our finance operations reported net income of $533 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to $138 million for the same period in fiscal 2010. Our insurance operations reported net income of $37 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to $38 million for the same period in fiscal 2010.
Our favorable results in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2010 were primarily due to decreases in our provision for credit losses, and to a lesser extent, depreciation on operating leases. We recorded a benefit from credit losses of $289 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to a charge of $328 million for the same period in fiscal 2010. This reduction in our provision was attributable to strong used vehicle prices fueled by a lower supply of used vehicles, better credit quality within our retail portfolio, and robust collection efforts. We decreased our estimate of expected credit losses in response to improvements in per unit loss severity, lower expected losses related to TMS recall-related events, and lower levels of delinquency in the consumer p ortfolio during the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
Operating expenses increased by 4% during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2010, primarily in the area of employee expenditures.
Our overall capital position increased by $0.5 billion, bringing total shareholder’s equity to $5.8 billion at June 30, 2010, as compared to $5.3 billion at March 31, 2010. Our debt increased to $71.0 billion at June 30, 2010 from $69.2 billion at March 31, 2010. As a result of these factors, our debt-to-equity ratio improved to 12.2 at June 30, 2010 from 13.1 at March 31, 2010.

| | | |
Net income from financing operations | $533 | $138 | 286% |
1 Includes direct finance lease revenues.
Our finance operations reported net income of $533 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $138 million for the same period in fiscal 2010. Results were favorable primarily due to decreases in our provision for credit losses, and to a lesser extent, decreases in depreciation on operating leases.
Despite the challenging economic conditions and high unemployment in the United States, our per unit credit loss severity and delinquency improved during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The improvement in per unit credit loss severity was attributable to strong used vehicle prices fueled by lower used vehicle supply.
The overall credit quality of our retail portfolio in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 continued to benefit from the previous enhancements we introduced in our purchasing practices. These enhancements, combined with the strengthening of our collection efforts, contributed to decreased levels of delinquency and net charge-offs during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2010. As a result, we recorded a benefit from credit losses of $289 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with a charge of $328 million for the same period in fiscal 2010. The amount of the provision was also positively affected by lower estimates of expected losses relating to TMS recall-related events. Depreciation expense on operating leases was also positively a ffected by improvement in forecasted used vehicle values driven primarily by higher actual used vehicle prices.
Financing Revenues
Total financing revenues decreased 2 percent during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2010:
· | Operating lease revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 remained consistent with the same period in the prior fiscal year as slightly higher portfolio yields were offset by lower average outstanding earning asset balances. |
· | Retail contract revenues decreased 7 percent, primarily due to a decrease in our portfolio yields. |
· | Dealer financing revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 remained consistent with the same period in the prior fiscal year as lower portfolio yields were offset by higher average outstanding earning asset balances. |
Our total finance receivables portfolio yield was 5.8 and 6.4 percent during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively.
Depreciation on Operating Leases
Depreciation on operating leases decreased 9 percent during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2010. Improvements in used vehicle values, due primarily to lower used vehicle supply, resulted in an increase to the estimated end-of-term residual values of the existing portfolio. We also considered the potential impact of the TMS recall-related events in our estimate of end-of-term residual values. These events had a lesser impact on our estimate during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 than in the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
Interest Expense
Our debt consists of fixed and floating rate obligations denominated in a number of different currencies. We economically hedge our interest rate and currency risks inherent in these liabilities on a consolidated basis by entering into pay float interest rate swaps, foreign currency swaps, and foreign currency forwards. These derivatives effectively convert our obligations on the debt into U.S. dollar denominated 3-month LIBOR based payments. We use pay fixed interest rate swaps executed on a portfolio basis to manage our interest rate risk arising from the resulting mismatch between our predominantly fixed-rate U.S. dollar denominated receivables and floating rate obligations. The following table summarizes the consolidated components of interest expense:
| Three months ended June 30, |
(Dollars in millions) | 2010 | 2009 |
Interest expense on debt1 | $451 | $624 |
Interest expense on pay float swaps2 | (240) | (320) |
Interest expense on debt, net of pay float swaps | 211 | 304 |
| | |
Interest expense on pay fixed swaps1 | 309 | 301 |
Ineffectiveness related to hedge accounting derivatives3,4 | (9) | 21 |

1 Amounts represent net interest settlements and changes in accruals.
2 Includes both hedge and non-hedge accounting derivatives.
3 Amounts exclude net interest settlements and changes in accruals.
4 Refer to Note 8 –Derivatives, Hedging Activities and Interest Expense of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information relating to the credit valuation adjustments for the periods. |
5 Excludes $2 million of interest on bonds held by our insurance operations for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. |
We reported consolidated interest expense of $491 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $499 million during the same period in fiscal 2010. Interest expense was lower during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010 primarily due to lower contractual interest rates on debt.
Interest expense on debt primarily represents interest due on secured and unsecured notes and loans payable and commercial paper, and includes the amortization of debt issue costs, discount and premium, and basis adjustments. The decrease in interest expense on debt to $451 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 from $624 million in the same period in fiscal 2010 was due to a combination of lower weighted average contractual interest rates on debt and relatively higher average balances of commercial paper and secured debt offset by lower unsecured term debt. Interest expense on pay float swaps represents net interest expense on our interest rate and cross-currency swaps. Settlements on these swaps resulted in interest income of $240 million and $320 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and fis cal 2010, respectively. These favorable results from our pay float swaps partially offset our interest expense on debt.
Ineffectiveness related to hedge accounting derivatives represents the net difference between the change in the fair value of the hedged debt and the change in the fair value of the associated derivative instrument. These amounts also include a credit valuation adjustment loss of $1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to a credit valuation adjustment loss of $27 million for the same period in fiscal 2010.
Gain or loss on foreign currency transactions relates to foreign currency denominated transactions for which hedge accounting has not been elected. We are required to revalue these foreign currency denominated transactions at each balance sheet date. We use currency swaps and forwards to economically hedge these foreign currency transactions. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the U.S. dollar strengthened relative to certain other currencies in which our foreign currency transactions are denominated. This resulted in the recognition of gains in foreign currency transactions of $608 million and losses in the fair value of currency swaps used to economically hedge these foreign currency transactions of $503 million. During the same period in fiscal 2010, the U.S. dollar weakened r elative to certain other currencies in which our foreign currency transactions are denominated. This resulted in the recognition of losses in foreign currency transactions of $858 million and gains in the fair value of currency swaps used to economically hedge these foreign currency transactions of $796 million.
Declines in swap rates during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 contributed to unfavorable mark-to-market adjustments on pay fixed interest rate swaps of $131 million that contributed to a net loss on other non-hedge accounting derivatives of $85 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, favorable mark-to-market adjustments of $328 million on pay fixed interest rate swaps contributed to net gains on total other non-hedge accounting derivatives of $189 million, including pay float swaps.
Provision for Credit Losses
We recorded a benefit from credit losses of $289 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to a charge of $328 million for the same period in fiscal 2010. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we increased our provision for credit losses in response to elevated levels of delinquencies in our consumer portfolio as well as an increase in the default frequency resulting from the weakness in the United States economy.
Despite continued challenging economic conditions, the credit performance of our consumer portfolio showed favorable trends during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. We decreased our provision for credit losses in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 in response to lower levels of delinquency and per unit loss severity in our consumer portfolio. We experienced lower loss severity due to strong used vehicle values during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, prices of used vehicles were at an unprecedented high driven primarily by a low supply of used vehicles. In addition, the overall credit quality of our retail portfolio in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 continued to benefit from the previous enhancements we introduce d in our purchasing practices. These enhancements, combined with the strengthening of our collection efforts, contributed to decreased levels of delinquency and net charge-offs during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010.
We also evaluated the impact of the recall-related events that occurred primarily in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and early fiscal 2011. As of June 30, 2010, while we have not seen a significant impact on our results, uncertainty remains. As a result, we included the impact of these recall-related events in our provision for credit losses during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, but at a lower amount than in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. This also contributed to the reduction in our provision for credit losses in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Refer to “Financial Condition – Credit Risk” for further discussion.

1 Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Agreements issued increased by 256 thousand units during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in prepaid maintenance agreements, which Toyota Motor Insurance Services, Inc. (“TMIS”) began providing to TMS in March 2010 in support of post-recall sales efforts.
Our insurance operations reported net income of $37 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to $38 million during the same period in fiscal 2010. The slight decrease in net income from insurance for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010 was primarily attributable to a decrease in investment and other income partially offset by an increase in insurance earned premiums and contract revenues.
Insurance earned premiums and contract revenues are affected by sales volume as well as the level, age, and mix of agreements in force. Agreements in force represent active insurance policies written and contracts issued. Insurance earned premiums and contract revenues represent revenues from the agreements in force. Commissions and fees represent revenues from services provided to insurers and insureds, including certain of our affiliates.
Our insurance operations reported insurance earned premiums and contract revenues of $129 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to $115 million during the same period in fiscal 2010. The increase in insurance earned premiums and contract revenues was primarily due to the overall growth in the number of agreements issued and in force and higher average revenues per contract.
Our insurance operations reported investment and other income of $27 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to investment and other income of $36 million during the same period in fiscal 2010. Investment and other income for our insurance operations consists primarily of investment income on marketable securities. The decrease in investment and other income for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010 was primarily due to lower interest and dividend income. Refer to “Investment and Other Income” below for a more detailed discussion on our consolidated investment portfolio.
Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred are a function of the amount of covered risks, the frequency and severity of claims associated with the agreements in force, and the level of risk retained by our insurance operations. Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses include amounts paid and accrued for reported losses, estimates of losses incurred but not reported, and any related claim adjustment expenses.
We reported $58 million of insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to $57 million during the same period in fiscal 2010. The slight increase in insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses primarily relates to fluctuations in frequency and severity across all programs.
Insurance dealer back-end program expenses are incentives or expense reduction programs we provide to dealers based on sales volume or underwriting performance. Insurance dealer back-end program expenses increased by 24 percent during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in agreements issued and an increase in the federal funds rate used in the computation of certain payments.
Investment and Other Income
The following table summarizes the components of our consolidated investment and other income:
| Three months ended June 30, |
(Dollars in millions) | 2010 | | 2009 |
Interest and dividend income on marketable securities | $19 | | $34 |
Realized gains (losses) on marketable securities | 11 | | (5) |
Other income | 5 | | 29 |
Total investment and other income, net | $35 | | $58 |
The decrease in interest and dividend income on marketable securities during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 relates primarily to our insurance operations. We reported net realized gains on marketable securities of $11 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to net realized losses of $5 million during the same period in fiscal 2010. This was primarily due to there being no other-than-temporary impairment write-downs during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. In addition we experienced higher net realized gains from the sale of securities in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010.
We reported $5 million of other income during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to $29 million during the same period in fiscal 2010. The decrease in other income occurred because interest income from an expected tax refund was recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and was subsequently collected.
Operating and Administrative Expenses
The following table summarizes our operating and administrative expenses:
| | Three months ended June 30, | | Percentage |
(Dollars in millions) | | 2010 | | 2009 | | Change |
Employee expenses | | $82 | | $71 | | 15% |
Operating expenses | | 81 | | 89 | | (9%) |
Insurance dealer back-end program expenses | | 21 | | 17 | | 24% |
Total operating and administrative expenses | | $184 | | $177 | | 4% |
Total operating and administrative expenses increased 4 percent during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010 due to increases in employee and insurance dealer back-end expenses. Employee-related expenses increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010 due to higher performance based compensation and overtime.
Operating expenses decreased during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010 primarily due to a reduction in consulting fees. Included in operating and administrative expenses are charges allocated by TMS for certain technological and administrative services provided to TMCC. Refer to Note 15 – Related Party Transactions of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Insurance dealer back-end program expenses are incentives or expense reduction programs we provide to dealers based on sales volume or underwriting performance. Refer to Insurance Operations above for further information on insurance dealer back-end program expenses.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $357 million compared to $108 million for the same period in fiscal 2010. Our effective tax rate was 39% for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and 38% for the same period in fiscal 2010. Our effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 reflected a decrease in the total expense due to higher non-taxable income. The increase in our provision for income taxes is consistent with the increase in operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010.

1 Represents total domestic TMS sales of new Toyota and Lexus vehicles excluding sales under dealer rental car and commercial fleet programs and sales of a private Toyota distributor. TMS new sales volume is comprised of approximately 85% Toyota and 15% Lexus vehicles for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and 86% Toyota and 14% Lexus vehicles for the first quarter of fiscal 2010. |
2 Total financing volume is comprised of approximately 82% Toyota, 14% Lexus, and 4% non-Toyota/Lexus vehicles for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and 79% Toyota, 15% Lexus, and 6% non-Toyota/Lexus vehicles for the first quarter of fiscal 2010. |
3 Represents the percentage of total domestic TMS sales of new Toyota and Lexus vehicles financed by us, excluding non-
Toyota/Lexus sales, sales under dealer rental car and commercial fleet programs and sales of a private Toyota distributor.
Vehicle Financing Volume
Our retail and lease contracts are acquired primarily from Toyota and Lexus vehicle dealers, and the volume of contracts is dependent upon TMS sales volume and subvention. Vehicle sales by TMS increased 13% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010. The increase in vehicle sales was driven by the increase in availability of TMS incentives. The increase in TMS subvention positively affected our finance and insurance volumes and market share in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The overall improvement in sales resulted in an overall higher level of net earning assets in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010 due to lower levels of TMS subvention in the prior period.
Our retail and lease market share increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010 due primarily to the increased availability of TMS subvention. This increase in TMS subvention was primarily in response to the TMS recall-related events that occurred in late fiscal 2010.
The composition of our net earning assets is summarized below:

2 Includes wholesale and other credit arrangements in which we participate as part of a syndicate of lenders.
Retail Contract Volume and Earning Assets
Our overall new and used retail contract volume increased during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2010. Much of the increase was attributable to an increase in overall TMS sales volume and subvention programs. Retail receivables at June 30, 2010 increased slightly as compared to the balance at March 31, 2010, as the volume of new vehicles financed offset portfolio liquidations during the fiscal year.
Lease Contract Volume and Earning Assets
Our overall vehicle lease contract volume during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 increased as compared to the same period in fiscal 2010. Vehicle lease contract volume is affected by the level of Toyota and Lexus vehicle sales, the availability of subvention programs, and changes in the interest rate environment. Much of the increase during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was attributable to an increase in overall TMS sales volume and subvention programs. Our investment in operating leases, net increased at June 30, 2010 as compared to the balance at March 31, 2010 due to increased contract volume partially offset by an increase in scheduled maturities.
Dealer Financing and Earning Assets
As of June 30, 2010, the number of dealer inventory units financed and the number of dealers receiving financing remained relatively consistent as compared to March 31, 2010. Dealer financing receivables increased 4% to $11.8 billion at June 30, 2010 from March 31, 2010.
Residual Value Risk
The primary factors affecting our exposure to residual value risk are the levels at which residual values are established at lease inception, current economic conditions and outlook, projected end-of-term market values, and the resulting impact on vehicle lease return rates and loss severity.
We periodically review the estimated end-of-term residual values of leased vehicles to assess the appropriateness of our carrying values. To the extent the estimated end-of-term value of a leased vehicle is lower than the residual value established at lease inception, the estimated residual value of the leased vehicle is adjusted downward so that the carrying value at lease end will approximate the estimated end-of-term market value. These adjustments are made over time for operating leases by recording depreciation expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Gains or losses on vehicles sold at lease termination are also recorded in depreciation expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Depreciation on Operating Leases
| Three months ended June 30, | Percentage change |
| 2010 | 2009 |
Depreciation on operating leases (dollars in millions) | $811 | $893 | (9%) |
Average operating lease units outstanding (in thousands) | 755 | 725 | 4% |
Depreciation expense on operating leases decreased to $811 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to $893 million during the same period of fiscal 2010. The average number of operating leases outstanding during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 increased by 4% as compared to the same prior year period. Depreciation expense was positively affected by strong used vehicle values, a significant factor in our estimates of end-of-term market values on our leased vehicle portfolio. We considered the potential impact of the TMS recall-related events in our estimate of end-of-term residual values, however, these events had a lesser impact on our estimate during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 than in the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Although used vehicle values remained consistent with the values at the end of fiscal 2010, it is uncertain whether the current level is sustainable.
Credit Risk
Credit Loss Experience
During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, economic activity in the United States remained weak. While there were signs that the labor market began to stabilize and industrial production and business investment in equipment and spending began to show positive signs, unemployment rates remained elevated and consumer confidence remained weak. Consumer spending continued to be constrained by high unemployment, modest income growth, lower household wealth and tight credit. In addition, home values remained depressed and commodity prices continued to fluctuate. As a result, the economic recovery in the United States remained uncertain during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and economic conditions continue to negatively affect some of our customers’ ability to make their payments.
Despite the challenging economic conditions, our levels of delinquency and credit loss severity have improved since March 31, 2010. The overall credit quality of our retail portfolio in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 continued to benefit from the previous enhancements we introduced in our purchasing practices. In addition, high levels of subvention contributed to our overall portfolio quality, as subvened contracts typically have better credit quality than non-subvened contracts. These factors, combined with the strengthening of our collection efforts and the increase in used vehicle prices, contributed to decreased levels of delinquency and net charge-offs during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010. Exposure to credit loss, however, remains at an e levated level due to the continued uncertainty surrounding economic recovery and the TMS recall related events. For additional information regarding the potential impact of current market conditions, refer to “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our fiscal 2010 Form 10-K.

1 Net charge-off ratios have been annualized using three month results for the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and
2009.
2 Beginning with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, we changed our charge-off policy from 150 days to 120 days past due. At June
30, 2009, the change would have resulted in net charge-offs as a percentage of average gross earning assets of 1.49 percent, 0.94
percent and 1.35 percent for finance receivables, operating leases and in total, respectively.
3 Substantially all retail, direct finance lease and operating lease receivables do not involve recourse to the dealer in the event of
4 Includes accounts in bankruptcy and excludes accounts for which vehicles have been repossessed.
5 The change in charge-off policy mentioned above would have resulted in over 60 day delinquencies as a percentage of gross
earning assets at June 30, 2009 of 0.73 percent, 0.67 percent and 0.71 percent for finance receivables, operating leases and in total,
respectively.
The improvement in loss severity per unit during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010 is primarily attributable to the improvements in used vehicle values which reduced net loss per charged-off unit. As a result, our level of net charge-offs for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 decreased compared with the same period in the prior year. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average gross earning assets decreased from 1.03% at June 30, 2009 to 0.54% at June 30, 2010.
We continue to focus on further developing sound risk management practices and credit loss strategies. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we remained focused on managing high risk loans in our dealer portfolio. On an ongoing basis, we review our purchasing practices and leverage technology to improve our collection capabilities.
Allowance for Credit Losses
We maintain an allowance for credit losses to cover probable losses resulting from the non-performance of our customers. The determination of the allowance involves significant assumptions, complex analysis, and management judgment. The following table provides information related to our allowance for credit losses and credit loss experience for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:
| Three months ended June 30, |
(Dollars in millions) | 2010 | 2009 |
Allowance for credit losses at beginning of period | $1,705 | $1,864 |
Provision for credit losses | (289) | 328 |
Charge-offs, net of recoveries1 | (100) | (188) |
Allowance for credit losses at end of period | $1,316 | $2,004 |
1 Net of recoveries of $39 million and $33 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The level of credit losses primarily reflects two factors: default frequency and loss severity. Default frequency as a percentage of average outstanding contracts decreased during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period in fiscal 2010. The improvement in default frequency was attributable to the enhancements in our purchasing practices and the relative stabilization in the United States economy, which resulted in a portfolio with higher credit quality.
Our allowance for credit losses is established through a process that estimates probable losses incurred as of the balance sheet date based upon consistently applied statistical analyses of portfolio data. This process utilizes delinquency migration analysis, in which historical delinquency and credit loss experience is applied to the current aging of the portfolio, and incorporates current and expected trends and other relevant factors, including expected loss experience, used vehicle market conditions, economic conditions, unemployment rates, purchase quality mix, contract term length and operational factors. This process, along with management judgment, is used to establish the allowance to cover probable and estimable losses incurred as of the balance sheet date. Changes in any of these factors would c ause changes in estimated probable losses.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, our allowance for credit losses decreased $389 million or 23 percent from $1,705 million at March 31, 2010 to $1,316 million at June 30, 2010. While the United States economy generally remained weak during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, and the timing of the economic recovery remained uncertain, our levels of delinquency and per unit loss severity continued to improve. The improvement in delinquency was due to the strengthening of the overall credit quality of our retail portfolio while the improvement in per unit loss severity was attributable to strong used vehicle prices fueled by a low supply of used vehicles. In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we continued to benefit from the previous enhancements we introduced in our purchasing practices. ;These enhancements, combined with the strengthening of our collection efforts, helped to support improved levels of delinquency and net charge-offs during the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
We evaluated the impact of the recall-related events that occurred primarily in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. As of June 30, 2010, while we have not seen a significant impact on our results, uncertainty remains. Therefore, we have included the impact of these recall-related events in our allowance for credit losses during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, but at a reduced amount compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. This contributed to the reduction in our provision for credit losses during the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our liquidity strategy is to ensure that we maintain the ability to fund assets and repay liabilities in a timely and cost-effective manner, even in adverse market conditions. Our strategy includes raising funds via the global capital markets, and through loans, credit facilities, and other transactions as well as generating liquidity from our balance sheet. This strategy has led us to develop a borrowing base that is diversified by market and geographic distribution, type of security, investor type, and type of financing vehicle, among other factors.
The following table summarizes the components of our outstanding funding sources at carrying value:
(Dollars in millions) | June 30, 2010 | | March 31, 2010 |
Commercial paper 1 | $18,954 | | $19,466 |
Unsecured notes and loans payable 2 | 45,172 | | 45,617 |
Secured notes and loans payable | 6,356 | | 3,000 |
Carrying value adjustment3 | 486 | | 1,096 |
Total Debt | $70,968 | | $69,179 |
1 Includes unamortized premium/discount.
2 Includes unamortized premium/discount and effects of foreign currency transaction gains and losses on non-hedged or de-designated notes and loans payable which are denominated in foreign currencies. |
3 Represents the effects of fair value adjustments to debt in hedging relationships, accrued redemption premiums, and the unamortized fair value adjustments on the hedged item for terminated fair value hedge accounting relationships. |
Liquidity management involves forecasting and maintaining sufficient capacity to meet our cash needs, including unanticipated events. To ensure adequate liquidity through a full range of potential operating environments and market conditions, we conduct our liquidity management and business activities in a manner that will preserve and enhance funding stability, flexibility and diversity. Key components of this operating strategy include a strong focus on maintaining direct relationships with wholesale market funding providers and commercial paper investors, and maintaining the ability to sell certain assets when and if conditions warrant.
We develop and maintain contingency funding plans and evaluate our liquidity position under various operating circumstances, allowing us to ensure that we will be able to operate through a period of stress when access to normal sources of capital is constrained. The plans project funding requirements during a potential period of stress, specify and quantify sources of liquidity, and outline actions and procedures for effectively managing through the problem period. In addition, we monitor the ratings and credit exposure of the lenders that participate in our credit facilities to ascertain any issues that may arise with potential draws on these facilities if that contingency becomes warranted.
We do not rely on any single source of funding and may choose to realign our funding activities depending upon market conditions, relative costs, and other factors. We believe that our funding sources, combined with operating and investing activities, provide sufficient liquidity to meet future funding requirements and business growth. Our funding volume is primarily based on expected net change in earning assets and debt maturities. We maintain broad access to a variety of global markets and cost of funding has generally improved during fiscal 2011.
For liquidity purposes, we hold cash in excess of our immediate funding needs. These excess funds are invested in short-term, highly liquid and investment grade money market instruments, which provide liquidity for our short-term funding needs and flexibility in the use of our other funding sources. We maintained excess funds ranging from $2.1 billion to $5.4 billion with an average balance of $3.6 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
We may lend to or borrow from affiliates on terms based upon a number of business factors such as funds availability, cash flow timing, relative cost of funds, and market access capabilities.
Credit support provided by our indirect parent Toyota Financial Services Corporation (“TFSC”), and by Toyota Motor Corporation (“TMC”) to TFSC provides an additional source of liquidity to us, although we do not rely upon such credit support in our liquidity planning and capital and risk management. The credit support agreements are not guarantees by TMC of any securities or obligations of TFSC or TMCC. TMC’s obligations under its credit support agreement with TFSC rank pari passu with its senior unsecured debt obligations. Refer to Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 for further discus sion.
Commercial Paper
Short-term funding needs are met through the issuance of commercial paper in the United States. Commercial paper outstanding under our commercial paper programs ranged from approximately $19.0 billion to $23.3 billion during the quarter ended June 30, 2010, with an average outstanding balance of $21.4 billion. Our commercial paper programs are supported by the liquidity facilities discussed later in this section. As a commercial paper issuer with short-term debt ratings of A-1+ by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”), and P-1 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), we believe there is ample capacity to meet our short-term funding requirements and manage our liquidity.
Unsecured Notes and Loans Payable
Term funding requirements are met through the issuance of a variety of debt securities and other obligations in both the United States and international capital markets and through bank loans. To diversify our funding sources, we have issued debt in a variety of markets, currencies, and maturities, and to a variety of investors, which allows us to broaden our distribution of debt securities and obligations and further enhance liquidity.
The following table summarizes the components of our unsecured notes and loans payable at par value:

on debt denominated in foreign currencies, fair value adjustments to debt in hedge accounting relationships, accrued redemption premiums, and the unamortized fair value adjustments on the hedged item for terminated hedge accounting relationships. Par values of non-U.S. currency denominated notes are determined using foreign exchange rates applicable as of the issuance dates. |
2 MTNs and domestic bonds had terms to maturity ranging from approximately 1 year to 10 years, and had interest rates at the time of issuance ranging from 0.7 percent to 4.5 percent. |
3 Primarily consists of long-term borrowings, all with terms to maturity from approximately 3 years to 5 years, and interest rates as of June 30, 2010 ranging from 0.5 percent to 1.0 percent. |
4 Consists of fixed and floating rate debt. Upon the issuance of fixed rate debt, we generally elect to enter into pay float interest
rate swaps. Refer to “Derivative Instruments” for further discussion.
We maintain a shelf registration statement with the SEC to provide for the issuance of debt securities in the U.S. capital markets to retail and institutional investors. We qualify as a well-known seasoned issuer under SEC rules, and as a result, we may issue under our registration statement an unlimited amount of debt securities during the three year period ending March 2012. Debt securities issued under the U.S. shelf registration statement are issued pursuant to the terms of an indenture which requires TMCC to comply with certain covenants, including negative pledge provisions. We are in compliance with these covenants.
Our EMTN program, shared with our affiliates Toyota Motor Finance (Netherlands) B.V., Toyota Credit Canada Inc. and Toyota Finance Australia Limited (TMCC and such affiliates, the “EMTN Issuers”), provides for the issuance of debt securities in the international capital markets. In September 2009, the EMTN Issuers renewed the EMTN program for a one year period. The maximum aggregate principal amount authorized under the EMTN Program to be outstanding at any time was increased from €40 billion to €50 billion, or the equivalent in other currencies, of which €26 billion was available for issuance at June 30, 2010. The authorized amount is shared among all EMTN Issuers. The authorized aggregate principal amount under the EMTN program may be increased from time to time.& #160; Debt securities issued under the EMTN program are issued pursuant to the terms of an agency agreement. Certain debt securities issued under the EMTN program are subject to negative pledge provisions. Debt securities issued under our EMTN program prior to October 2007 are also subject to cross-default provisions. We are in compliance with these covenants.
In addition, we may issue other debt securities or enter into other unsecured financing arrangements through the domestic and international capital markets.
Secured Notes and Loans Payable
Asset-backed securitization (“ABS”) of our earning asset portfolio provides us with an alternative source of funding and investor diversification. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we executed securitization transactions of retail contracts that provided us with approximately $3.8 billion in funding which will be repaid as the underlying finance receivables pools amortize. We will continue to evaluate the market for asset-backed securities in considering our funding strategies in the future, including the balance of secured and unsecured funding.
The securitization transactions discussed above involve the transfer of discrete pools of retail finance receivables to bankruptcy-remote special purpose entities. These bankruptcy remote entities are used in an effort to ensure that the securitized assets are isolated from the claims of our other creditors and that the cash flows from the receivables are available for the benefit of securitization investors. Investors in asset-backed securities do not have recourse to our other assets, and neither TMCC nor any of its affiliates guarantees the obligations issued by any securitization trusts. We are not required to repurchase receivables from the trusts that become delinquent or default after being securitized. As seller and servicer of the receivables, we are required to repurchase receivables t hat are subsequently discovered not to have met specified eligibility requirements. This repurchase obligation is customary in securitization transactions.
We service the securitized receivables in accordance with our customary servicing practices and procedures. Our servicing duties include collecting payments on receivables and submitting them to the trustee for distribution to investors and other interest holders. We prepare monthly investor reports on the performance of the receivables, including collections, investor distributions, delinquencies, and credit losses. We also perform administrative services for the trusts, including filing periodic reports, preparing notices, and tax reporting. In servicing the securitized receivables, we apply the same servicing policies and procedures that are applied to loans held in our non-securitized portfolio.
Our use of special purpose entities in securitizations is consistent with conventional practices in the securitization markets. None of our officers, directors, or employees hold any equity interests or receives any direct or indirect compensation from our special purpose entities. These entities do not own our stock or the stock of any of our affiliates. Each special purpose entity has a limited purpose and generally is permitted only to purchase assets, issue asset-backed securities, and make payments to the investors and certain service providers as required under the terms of the transactions.
Our securitizations are structured to provide credit enhancements that reduce the risk of loss to investors in the asset-backed securities. Credit enhancements may include some or all of the following:
· | Overcollateralization: The principal amount of the securitized assets exceeds the principal amount of the related secured debt. |
· | Excess spread: The expected interest collections on the securitized assets exceed the expected fees and expenses of the special purpose entity, including the interest payable on the debt and net of swap settlements, if any. |
· | Cash reserve funds: A portion of the proceeds from the issuance of asset-backed securities may be held by the securitization trust in segregated reserve funds and may be used to pay principal and interest to investors if collections on the underlying receivables are insufficient. |
In addition to the credit enhancements described above, we entered into interest rate swaps with the special purpose entities that issue variable rate debt. Under the terms of these swaps, the securitization trusts are obligated to pay TMCC a fixed rate of interest on payment dates in exchange for receiving a floating rate of interest on notional amounts equal to the outstanding balance of the secured debt. This arrangement enables the securitization trusts to issue variable rate debt that is secured by fixed rate retail finance receivables.
The transfers of the receivables to the special purpose entities are considered to be sales for legal purposes. However, these transactions do not meet the requirements for sale accounting. As a result, the securitized assets and the related debt remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We recognize financing revenue on the pledged receivables and interest expense on the secured debt issued by the trusts. We also maintain an allowance for credit losses on the pledged receivables to cover estimated probable credit losses using a methodology consistent with that used for our non-securitized retail loan portfolio. The interest rate swaps between TMCC and the special purpose entities are considered intercompany transactions and therefore are eliminated in our consolidated financial state ments.
Liquidity Facilities and Letters of Credit
For additional liquidity purposes, we maintain syndicated bank credit facilities with certain banks.
364 Day Credit Agreement
In March 2010, TMCC, its subsidiary Toyota Credit de Puerto Rico Corp. (“TCPR”), and other Toyota affiliates entered into a $5.0 billion 364 day syndicated bank credit facility pursuant to a 364 Day Credit Agreement. The ability to make draws is subject to covenants and conditions customary in a transaction of this nature, including negative pledge provisions, cross-default provisions and limitations on consolidations, mergers and sales of assets. The 364 Day Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes and was not drawn upon as of June 30, and March 31, 2010.
Five Year Credit Agreement
In March 2007, TMCC, TCPR, and other Toyota affiliates entered into an $8.0 billion five year syndicated bank credit facility pursuant to a Five Year Credit Agreement. The ability to make draws is subject to covenants and conditions customary in a transaction of this nature, including negative pledge provisions, cross-default provisions and limitations on consolidations, mergers and sales of assets. The Five Year Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes and was not drawn upon as of June 30, and March 31, 2010.
Letter of Credit Facility Agreement
In addition, TMCC has an uncommitted letter of credit facility totaling $5 million, of which $1 million was issued and outstanding at June 30, and March 31, 2010.
Other Credit Agreements
TMCC has two additional bank credit facilities. The first is a 364 day committed bank credit facility in the amount of JPY 100 billion (approximately $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2010) which was entered into in December 2009 to replace a similar facility which expired. The second is a 364 day uncommitted bank credit facility in the amount of JPY 100 billion (approximately $1.1 billion), which was extended in December 2009 for an additional 364 days. Both of these agreements contain covenants and conditions customary in a transaction of this nature, including negative pledge provisions, cross-default provisions and limitations on consolidations, mergers and sales of assets. Neither of these facilities was drawn upon as of June 30, and March 31, 2010.
We are in compliance with the covenants and conditions of the credit agreements described above.
Credit Ratings
The cost and availability of unsecured financing is influenced by credit ratings, which are intended to be an indicator of the creditworthiness of a particular company, security, or obligation. Lower ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs as well as reduced access to capital markets. Credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell, or hold securities, and are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”). Each NRSRO may have different criteria for evaluating risk, and therefore ratings should be evaluated independently for each NRSRO. Our credit ratings depend in part on the existence of the credit support agreements of TFSC and TMC. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors - Credit Su pport” in our fiscal 2010 Form 10-K.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Risk Management Strategy
We use derivatives as part of our risk management strategy to hedge against changes in interest rate and foreign currency risks. We manage these risks by entering into derivatives transactions with the intent to minimize fluctuations in earnings, cash flows and fair value adjustments of assets and liabilities caused by market volatility.
Our derivative activities are authorized and monitored by our Asset-Liability Committee, which provides a framework for financial controls and governance to manage these market risks. We use internal models to analyze data from internal and external sources in developing various hedging strategies. We incorporate the resulting hedging strategies into our overall risk management strategies.
Our liabilities consist mainly of fixed and floating rate debt, denominated in a number of different currencies, which we issue in the global capital markets. We hedge our interest rate and currency risk inherent in these liabilities by entering into pay float interest rate swaps, foreign currency swaps, and foreign currency forwards, which effectively convert our obligations into U.S. dollar-denominated, 3-month LIBOR-based payments.
Our assets consist primarily of U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate receivables. Our approach to asset-liability management involves hedging our risk exposures so that changes in interest rates have a limited effect on our net interest margin and cash flows. We use pay fixed interest rate swaps and caps, executed on a portfolio basis, to manage the interest rate risk of these assets. The resulting asset-liability profile is consistent with the overall risk management strategy as directed by the Asset-Liability Committee.
We enter into derivatives for risk management purposes only, and our use of derivatives is limited to the management of interest rate and foreign currency risks.
Accounting for Derivative Instruments
All derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, taking into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements that allow us to settle our net positive and negative positions and offset cash collateral held with the same counterparty. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
We categorize derivatives as those designated for hedge accounting (“hedge accounting derivatives”) and those that are not designated for hedge accounting (“non-hedge accounting derivatives”).
We may also, from time-to-time, issue debt which can be characterized as hybrid financial instruments. These obligations often contain an embedded derivative. Changes in the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative or the entire hybrid financial instrument are reported in interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Refer to Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our fiscal 2010 Form 10-K, and above in Note 8 –Derivatives, Hedging Activities and Interest Expense in this Form 10-Q for additional information.
Derivative Assets and Liabilities
The following table summarizes our derivative assets and liabilities, which are included in other assets and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet:
(Dollars in millions) | June 30, 2010 | | March 31, 2010 |
Derivative assets | $802 | | $1,876 |
Less: Collateral held, net 1 | (394) | | (1,285) |
Derivative assets, net of collateral | 408 | | 591 |
Less: Counterparty credit valuation adjustment | (11) | | (10) |
Derivative assets, net of collateral and credit adjustment | $397 | | $581 |
Embedded derivative assets | $5 | | $4 |
| | | |
Derivative liabilities | $725 | | $594 |
Plus: Collateral held (posted), net 1,2 | 296 | | (57) |
Derivative liabilities, net of collateral | 1,021 | | 537 |
Less: Our own non-performance credit valuation adjustment | (8) | | (4) |
Derivative liabilities, net of collateral and non-performance credit valuation adjustment | $1,013 | | $533 |
Embedded derivative liabilities | $37 | | $34 |
1 Represents cash received or deposited under reciprocal collateral arrangements that we have entered into with certain
derivative counterparties. Refer to the “Counterparty Credit Risk” section for more details.
2 As of June 30, 2010, we posted collateral of $369 million. We netted $665 million of collateral held from counterparties whose position had changed from a net asset position to a net liability position subsequent to the date collateral was transferred, resulting in net collateral held of $296 million. |
The decrease in derivative assets and increase in derivative liabilities as of June 30, 2010 compared to March 31, 2010, are primarily the result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to certain other currencies in which our foreign currency swaps are denominated. Refer to the “Interest Expense” section above for further discussion.
Counterparty Credit Risk
We manage counterparty credit risk by maintaining policies for entering into derivative contracts, exercising our rights under our derivative contracts, requiring the posting of collateral and actively monitoring our exposure to counterparties.
All of our derivatives counterparties to which we had credit exposure at June 30, 2010 were assigned investment grade ratings by a NRSRO. In addition, we require counterparties that are or become rated BBB+ or lower to fully collateralize their net derivative exposures with us. Our counterparty credit risk could be adversely affected by deterioration of the United States economy and financial distress in the banking industry.
Our International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreements contain reciprocal collateral arrangements which help mitigate our exposure to the credit risk associated with our counterparties. We perform valuations of our position with each counterparty and transfer cash collateral on at least a monthly basis. In addition, if either party under an ISDA Master Agreement, in its reasonable opinion, believes there has been a material decline in the creditworthiness of the other party, it can call for more frequent collateral transfers. If the market value of either counterparty’s net derivatives position exceeds a specified threshold, that counterparty is required to transfer cash collateral in excess of the threshold to the other counterparty. Under our ISDA Mast er Agreements, we are only obligated to exchange cash collateral. Neither we nor our counterparties are required to hold the collateral in a segregated account. Our collateral arrangements include legal right of offset provisions, pursuant to which collateral amounts are netted against derivative assets or derivative liabilities, which are included in other assets or other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
In addition, many of our ISDA Master Agreements contain reciprocal ratings triggers providing either party with an option to terminate the agreement and related transactions at market value in the event of a ratings downgrade below a specified threshold. Refer to “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our fiscal 2010 Form 10-K for further discussion.
A summary of our net counterparty credit exposure by credit rating (net of collateral held) is presented below:
(Dollars in millions) | June 30, 2010 | March 31, 2010 |
Credit Rating | | |
AA | $236 | $258 |
A | 172 | 333 |
Total net counterparty credit exposure1 | $408 | $591 |
1 Amounts exclude counterparty credit valuation adjustments of $11 million and $10 million in at June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively. |
At June 30, 2010, we recorded a credit valuation adjustment of $11 million related to non-performance risk of our counterparties and a credit valuation adjustment of $8 million on our own non-performance risk. All derivative credit valuation adjustments are recorded in interest expense in our Consolidated Statement of Income. Refer to “Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have omitted this section pursuant to General Instruction H(2) of Form 10-Q.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2010, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules, regulations, and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisi ons regarding required disclosures.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Litigation
Various legal actions, governmental proceedings and other claims are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against us with respect to matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Certain of these actions are or purport to be class action suits, seeking sizeable damages and/or changes in our business operations, policies and practices. Certain of these actions are similar to suits that have been filed against other financial institutions and captive finance companies. We perform periodic reviews of pending claims and actions to determine the probability of adverse verdicts and resulting amounts of liability. We establish accruals for legal claims when payments associated with the claims become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal claims and associated costs of defen se may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued for these claims; however, we cannot estimate the losses or ranges of losses for proceedings where there is only a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred. We believe, based on currently available information and established accruals, that the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, but may be material to our operating results for any particular period, depending in part, upon the operating results for such period.
Repossession Class Actions
A cross-complaint alleging a class action in the Superior Court of California Stanislaus County, Garcia v. Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, filed in August 2007, claims that TMCC's post-repossession notice failed to comply with the Rees-Levering Automobile Sales Finance Act of California. Three additional putative class action complaints or cross-complaints were filed making similar allegations. The cases were coordinated in the California Superior Court, Stanislaus County and a Second Amended Consolidated Cross-Complaint and Complaint was subsequently filed in March 2009. The Second Amended Consolidated Cross-Complaint and Complaint seeks injunctive relief, restitution, disgorgement and other equitable relief under California's Unfair Competition Law. As a result of a mediation in January 2010, the parties agreed to settle all of the foregoing matters. The proposed settlement, for which we have adequately accrued, is subject to preliminary and final court approval. A fourth case was recently filed which the court has included in the settlement.
Recall-related Class Actions
As a result of the TMS recall-related events described under Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Fiscal 2011 First Quarter Operating Environment” TMCC and certain affiliates are named as defendants in several lawsuits purporting to seek class action status.
TMCC and certain affiliates were named as defendants in the consolidated multidistrict litigation, In Re: Toyota Motor Corp. Unintended Acceleration, Marketing, Sales Practices, and Products Liability Litigation consolidated in the United States District Court, Central District of California seeking damages and injunctive relief as a result of alleged sudden unintended acceleration and/or braking defects in certain Toyota and Lexus vehicles. A parallel action was filed against TMCC and certain affiliates on March 12, 2010 by the Orange County District Attorney. See "Item 3. Legal Proceedings" in our fiscal 2010 Form 10-K for more information. On August 2, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint in the multidistrict litigation that does not name TMCC as a defendant. TMCC remains, howe ver, a defendant in the action filed by the Orange County District Attorney.
TMCC and certain affiliates had also been named as defendants in a putative bondholder class action, Harel Pia Mutual Fund v. Toyota Motor Corp., et al., filed in the Central District of California on April 8, 2010, alleging violations of federal securities laws. The plaintiff filed a voluntary dismissal of the lawsuit on July 20, 2010.
On July 22, 2010, the same plaintiff in the above federal bondholder action refiled the case in California state court on behalf of purchasers of TMCC bonds traded on foreign exchanges (Harel Pia Mutual Fund v. Toyota Motor Corp., et al., Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles). The complaint alleges violations of California securities laws, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and other state law claims.
We believe we have meritorious defenses to all of the above claims and intend to defend against them vigorously.
