Exhibit 99
Earnings Release
Toyota Motor Credit Corporation Reports
Record Second Quarter
Operating Net Income of $73 Million
TORRANCE, Calif. November 1, 2001 --Toyota Motor Credit Corporation ("TMCC"),
which is marketed under the brands of Toyota Financial Services ("TFS") and
Lexus Financial Services ("LFS"), today announced fiscal second quarter
operating net income of $73 million, an increase of $49 million (204%) over
the comparable prior year period. For the six months ended
September 30, 2001, operating net income was $118 million, an increase of
$71 million (151%) over the same period in the prior year. The strong
financial performance is primarily attributable to asset and revenue growth
and improvement in net interest margin, partially offset by higher credit and
disposition losses. Operating net income excludes the effect of market value
changes related to derivative hedging contracts.
Finance volume of $4.4 billion was strong for the quarter, exceeding the
comparable prior year period by $769 million (21%). As of
September 30, 2001, managed net earning assets totaled $33.1 billion, an
increase of $3.4 billion (11%) from a year earlier. "We are pleased with our
performance through the second quarter and are on track for a record year,"
said George Borst, President and CEO. "We continue to improve our overall
market share penetration of Toyota and Lexus financed sales to consumers as
well as our penetration of wholesale financing for Toyota and Lexus dealers
over the prior year."
Due in part to a phased implementation of a tiered pricing structure which
matches customer risk with contract rates charged to allow profitable
purchases of a wider range of risk levels, 60+ day delinquency increased to
.26%, up 5 bp from June 30, 2001 and up 6 bp from September 30, 2000. Net
charge-offs totaled .50% for the three months ended September 30, 2001, a
decrease of 2 bp from the quarter ended June 30, 2001 but an increase of 8 bp
over the same period in the prior year.
Net income including the effect of mark to market adjustments on derivative
contracts for the three month and six month periods ending September 30, 2001
totaled $21 million and $71 million, respectively. TMCC uses derivative
contracts as part of its interest rate risk management program. The mark to
market adjustments are determined in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Pronouncement Numbers 133 and 138.
TFS and LFS are the finance and insurance brands for Toyota and Lexus
respectively in the United States. They primarily offer retail auto
financing and leasing, and wholesale auto financing through Toyota Motor
Credit Company and extended service contracts through Toyota Motor Insurance
Services ("TMIS"). TFS\LFS currently employs over 2,600 associates
nationwide, and has managed assets in excess of $33 billion. It is part of a
worldwide network of comprehensive financial services offered by Toyota
Financial Services Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota Motor
Corporation.
