I would like to express our gratitude for your ongoing support and understanding of our company.

The Heisei era has ended and the Reiwa era has just begun.

The advent of new technologies referred to by the acronym “CASE,” which stands for “Connected” cars, “Autonomous” driving, “Sharing” and “Electrification,” will greatly change our competitors and the rules of competition, as well as the very concept of the automobile.

It is necessary to remember our unshakeable foundation and return to our roots especially because we are in this age of dynamic changes. This unshakeable foundation comprises the “Toyota Production System (TPS)” and our “capabilities to refine costs,” which are the values we have upheld since our founding and our strength. We must constantly be aware that there is always a better way, and continue to change the way we work. Innovation is the result of a process of imitation and improvement. That is to say, we start by imitating superior products around us and then thoroughly improve them.

Beside these “manufacturing (monozukuri) capabilities,” the “advantage of our global network,” which we have built together with our dealers and suppliers, as well as the “units in operation” generated by sales volume based on the relationship of trust with customers since our establishment, are our “real capabilities” that cannot be acquired overnight.

Toyota cannot create the future on its own. I believe that developing our “real capabilities,” staying highly competitive and continuing to be the choice of our customers will lead to sustainable growth.

It is our fervent hope to work with you to create a prosperous mobility society of the future where every individual can move safely and enjoyably.

We look forward to your ongoing support.

Proposed Resolution 4: Determination of Compensation for Granting Restricted Shares to Members of the Board of Directors (excluding Outside Members of the Board of Directors) and Revision of the Amount of Compensation Payable to Members of the Board of Directors

Compensation payable to Members of the Board of Directors has been set at a maximum total of 4.0 billion yen per year (of which, the maximum amount payable to Outside Members of the Board of Directors is 0.3 billion yen per year; hereinafter “Cash Compensation”) since the 113th Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held on June 14, 2017.

This proposal is made, as part of a review of the executive compensation system, with the aim of encouraging Members of the Board of Directors (excluding Outside Members of the Board of Directors; hereinafter “Eligible Members of the Board of Directors”) to work to improve the medium- to long-term corporate value of TMC, and for each Eligible Member of the Board of Directors to promote management from the same viewpoint as our shareholders with a stronger sense of responsibility as a corporate manager. In addition to revising the Cash Compensation above, we also propose the establishment of a new compensation for granting restricted shares (hereinafter “Share Compensation”).

With regard to the Cash Compensation and Share Compensation, in order to enable the setting of compensation levels that will allow TMC to secure and retain talented personnel, and in consideration of the balance between the two types of compensation, the maximum Cash Compensation of 4.0 billion yen per year will be reduced to a maximum of 3.0 billion yen per year (of which, the maximum amount payable to Outside Members of the Board of Directors is 0.3 billion yen per year), and the new Share Compensation will be set at a maximum of 4.0 billion yen per year.

Upon approval of this proposed resolution, the composition of the compensation payable to Members of the Board of Directors (excluding compensation payable to Members of the Board of Directors as officers or employees, for those who serve concurrently as officers or employees) will be as shown in the table below.

<Compositions of Compensation to Members of the Board of Directors>

The decision on the compensation payable to each Member of the Board of Directors will be entrusted by the Board of Directors within the abovementioned maximum total amount per year to the “Executive Compensation Meetings” in which half of the members are Outside Members of the Board of Directors, and will be made taking into consideration such factors as corporate results as well as the duties and performance of the Member of the Board of Directors. We will continue to fulfill our accountability to shareholders with regard to executive compensation and corporate results by disclosing these details in the business reports and annual securities reports in accordance with laws and regulations and by explaining our initiatives for realizing the Toyota Global Vision at the general shareholders’ meetings of TMC.

Number of the Board of Directors will be 9 Members (including 3 Outside Members of the Board of Directors) if Proposed Resolution 1 is approved as proposed.

Attachment to the Notice of Convocation of the 115th Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting

Business Report (Fiscal Year under review: April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019)

1. Outlook of Associated Companies

(1) Progress and Achievement in Operation

General Economic Environment in FY2019

Reviewing the general economic environment for the fiscal year ended March 2019 (“FY2019”), the world economy overall has continued its moderate recovery despite the sluggish growth in some sectors. The Japanese economy has also been on a moderate recovery due to improvements in employment and income conditions.

Automotive markets have remained stable in developed countries, but have slowed down in China, which had been experiencing continued expansion, as well as in some resource-rich countries.

Overview of Operations

In this business environment, the Toyota group has been striving to make “ever-better cars” that exceed customer expectations. We have completely remodeled “RAV4,” one of Toyota’s core global models, by introducing a new platform and powertrain units based on the TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture), and were able to achieve responsive driving as well as a powerful and sophisticated design. We also completely redesigned the “Crown,” and newly launched the “Corolla Sport,” as first-generation connected vehicles that propose a life of new mobility. Furthermore, we redesigned the “Century,” a model that has remained a favorite of many users for more than 50 years, with significantly improved ride comfort and cruising stability, while carrying on the tradition of master craftsmanship and high-quality monozukuri (all-encompassing manufacturing). In addition, to respond to the rising demand for passenger transportation centered around emerging markets, we have added a new series to the “Hiace” model, for overseas markets. The Lexus brand commenced sales of the “ES” for the first time in Japan, which model has helped establish the brand as its core product in many other countries and regions. It also introduced the “UX,” a compact crossover designed for the modern urban explorer, as a new addition to its lineup. We also premiered our all-new “Supra,” the first global model of the “GR” series, at the North American International Auto Show, implementing the knowledge we have gained in motorsports activities to our product development.

In this way, we have actively improved the product lineup to further meet customer needs and carried out vigorous sales efforts in collaboration with dealers in each country and region in which we operate. As a result, global vehicle sales for FY2019, including the Daihatsu and Hino brands, increased by 162 thousand units (or 1.5%) from FY2018 to 10,603 thousand units. Furthermore, in February 2019, we reached cumulative global Lexus brand sales of 10 million units. Going forward, we will continue to accelerate local production and development, including in the U.S. and China, in order to contribute to countries and regions around the world.

(5) Issues to be Addressed

The future automotive market is expected to revert to a gradual expansion in the medium term, due in part to the wider use of cars mainly in emerging countries, despite entering a phase of cyclical changes in the short term. Meanwhile, the automotive industry is entering a once-in-a-century transformational period in response to environmental issues and other social challenges, as well as the rapid progress in technological innovation such as electrification, automated driving, connected vehicles and car-sharing. In such a business environment, the Toyota group will leverage its collective strength amassed in vehicle quality and in sales and service networks in the real world, as well as its capabilities in responding to technological innovation in the virtual world, to transform itself into a mobility company that provides all kinds of services related to transportation. To this end, we intend to accelerate activities in the following fields to pursue our objective of “challenging for the future” to create new value and “growing steadily each year” to strengthen true competitiveness year by year.

 

22


Table of Contents

1) Electrification

he electrification of vehicles is imperative to address environmental issues. The Toyota group aims to provide the most suitable vehicles that match customer preferences in light of the energy and infrastructure development situation in each country and region, as well as the characteristics of eco-cars, based on the stance that eco-cars can only truly have a significant positive impact if they are widely used. For hybrid electric vehicles, which are our main type of electrified vehicles, we will not only further improve the fuel efficiency, cost and driving performance of the conventional Toyota Hybrid System, but will also develop various types of vehicles including sports models with superior acceleration performance. Furthermore, with the aim of sharing our goals with numerous stakeholders and to cooperatively promote the further use of electrified vehicles, we decided to grant royalty-free licenses on patents we hold for vehicle electrification-related technologies we have cultivated through hybrid electric vehicle development. For battery electric vehicles, we will accelerate their introduction from 2020, starting with the Chinese market, and will expand the lineup to 10 or more models globally by early 2020s. As for fuel cell electric vehicles, in addition to expanding the product lineups for passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles, we will also deploy our fuel cell technology in various sectors in collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders including the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Moreover, in the area of automotive batteries, which is the key factor for the popularization of electrified vehicles, we agreed to establish a joint venture with Panasonic Corporation to strengthen and accelerate efforts to achieve competitive batteries.

We will further accelerate technological developments to realize a sustainable low-carbon society, with the aspirational goal of achieving “global annual sales of more than 5.5 million electrified vehicles in 2030.”

2) Automated driving

Since the 1990s, the Toyota group has continuously engaged in automated driving technology R&D aimed at contributing to the complete elimination of traffic casualties. The development philosophy, “Mobility Teammate Concept” is an approach built on the belief that people and vehicles can work together in the service of safe, convenient, and efficient mobility.

Toyota Research Institute, Inc., which is engaged in the research and development of artificial intelligence as the underpinning technology for automated driving, launched a global program to offer support to promising startups in partnership with a venture capital fund established in 2017. The company also opened a test facility to develop automated vehicle technology in Michigan, U.S. and has since unveiled the “TRI-P4” automated driving test vehicle, accelerating its automated driving system development. Advanced development is now underway on software to enable its commercialization by Toyota Research Institute - Advanced Development, Inc., which has commenced full-fledged operations. Furthermore, to enable customers to use the achievements from our research of automated driving technology widely, we have proceeded with the introduction of a preventive safety package, and in 2018, the number of vehicles equipped with this package around the world topped the 10 million unit mark.

We are working on the development and popularization of automated driving technology with the ultimate aim of providing all people with safe, convenient, and enjoyable mobility.

3) MaaS (Mobility as a Service)

The Toyota group is promoting the MaaS business to offer customers a variety of mobility options.

We concluded an agreement with Grab Holdings Inc. to deepen collaboration in the mobility services area, and began offering the Total-care Service developed by Toyota Motor Corporation to vehicles owned by ride-hailing service companies. We also agreed to expand our collaboration aimed at advancing autonomous ride-sharing services with Uber Technologies, Inc. Furthermore, we agreed to form a strategic partnership to facilitate the creation of new mobility services with SoftBank Corp. and established a joint venture company, MONET Technologies Inc.

As society shifts from owning cars to using cars, we started a beloved-car subscription service called “KINTO” to enable customers to more freely enjoy cars. Through a monthly fixed-sum service that packages not only the cost of the vehicle but procedures such as tax and insurance payments as well as vehicle maintenance, we will propose a new user-car relationship.

With respect to initiatives in Japan, we are working to transform our sales network, including making all vehicle models of Toyota brand available through all Toyota sales outlets in Japan, to respond to the various needs of customers together with the sales companies. Through these efforts, we will develop and provide new, locally-rooted mobility services and aim to become an indispensable presence in local communities.

4) Creating friends and allies

The Toyota group’s strategy to create friends and allies has three main pillars.

The first is to strengthen ties with group companies that have the same roots as Toyota. From a “home and away” perspective, this involves the reorganization of businesses within the Toyota group to consolidate duplicated functions into more competitive “home” companies, and the establishment of new companies within the group by bringing together each group company’s strength. At the same time, we have to increase the number of friends and allies, and create de facto standards by actively selling competitive products to companies inside and outside the group. Based on this idea, we are pressing ahead with the drive to consolidate the core electronic component operations of both Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) and DENSO CORPORATION (DENSO) into DENSO, transfer sales & marketing operations for Africa conducted by TMC to Toyota Tsusho Corporation, and transfer TMC’s van business to Toyota Auto Body Co., Ltd.

 

24


Table of Contents

The second pillar is strengthening alliances with other automakers. The purpose of these alliances is not to become bigger through investment. The objective is to enhance competitiveness with an aim to make “ever-better cars,” respecting each other’s strengths in technological development, production engineering, and sales networks. In March 2019, we concluded an agreement with SUZUKI MOTOR CORPORATION (SUZUKI) to collaborate in new fields, such as joint collaboration in production and in the widespread popularization of electrified vehicles, bringing together our strength in electrification technologies and SUZUKI’s strength in technologies for compact vehicles.

The third pillar is strengthening alliances with new friends and allies that are providing mobility services. We aim to create new mobility services, openly partnering with various service providers such as SoftBank Corp., Grab Holdings Inc. and Uber Technologies, Inc., via the “Mobility Services Platform,” an information infrastructure for connected vehicles.

5) Cost reduction and Toyota Production System (TPS)

To strengthen our true competitiveness, we are thoroughly honing our TPS and approach to cost reduction, which are components of our corporate DNA that have been passed down from our predecessors as our strengths.

Our “cost reduction” does not simply refer to cutting budgets and costs uniformly. Rather, it stands for cost planning by checking real blueprints, actual products and manufacturing sites, thoroughly eliminating waste, and changing the way we work to improve productivity. We will come up with ideas with the participation of all executives and employees, and work to reduce outlays and waste from all stages of the manufacturing process with passion and a spirit of getting better and better, to develop the human resources we will need to survive in the future and strengthen our corporate structure.

In addition, we are instilling TPS not only at production sites but also in administrative and engineering divisions, and are implementing company-wide awareness-raising and improvement activities. For example, the Accounting Division is working with the TPS Group, which was newly established in January 2018, in reviewing its account settlement operations to identify waste and effect improvements. We will aim for a company-wide application of TPS by continuing to steadily implement similar efforts in each division and sharing best practices across the company.

6) Human resources system

We have continually restructured the organization and reviewed our executive lineups in order to further promote the “development of human resources” and the “innovation of the way we work” which support the activities mentioned above. Due to other industries entering the market and rapid technological innovation, structural changes are taking place in today’s automotive industry at an unprecedented speed and scale.

 

25


Table of Contents

Under these circumstances, in January 2019, we reduced the number of layers in our executive structure. Executives are now composed of former senior managing officers and people of higher rank, whereas former managing officers, executive general managers, senior managers and others are now classified as “senior professional/senior management.” By appointing the right people to the right positions in a wide range of posts, regardless of their age or length of employment, we will enable them to reach conclusions more swiftly, make prompt decisions, and take immediate action in responding to management issues as they arise. We will also reinforce our efforts to cultivate professionals who combine expertise and “human competencies” in the workplace.

To advance these initiatives, at Toyota group, we will stay true to our founding spirit of “contributing to society by Monozukuri, manufacturing,” and will move forward through the united efforts of our executives and employees with humility, gratitude and passion, placing top priority on quality and safety. We sincerely hope that our shareholders will continue to extend their patronage and support to us.

(6) Policy on Distribution of Surplus by Resolution of the Board of Directors

TMC deems the benefit of its shareholders as one of its priority management policies, and it continues to work to improve its corporate structure to realize sustainable growth in order to enhance its corporate value.

TMC will strive for the stable and continuous payment of dividends considering a consolidated payout ratio of 30% to shareholders of common stock as an indication. In addition, TMC will pay a prescribed amount of dividends to shareholders of First Series Model AA Class Shares.

With regard to the repurchase of shares of our common stock, TMC will flexibly repurchase its common stock while comprehensively considering factors such as its cash reserves and the price level of its common stock in order to promote capital efficiency.

In order to survive tough competition, TMC will utilize its internal funds mainly for the early commercialization of technologies for next-generation environment and safety, giving priority to customer safety and security.

  3)

Regional CROs have been appointed to develop and oversee risk management systems for their respective regions under the supervision of CRO, who is responsible for global risk management of safety, quality, environmental and other risks. In addition, at the internal head offices, TMC has appointed the chief officer for each group and the risk officer for each department and division to be in charge of risk management for each function, and at each in-house company, TMC has appointed the president and the risk officer to be in charge of risk management for each product. Through this, TMC has established systems that enable collaboration and support with each regional headquarters, and these systems are reviewed and reinforced as necessary.

TMC has formulated a medium-term management plan for each region, as well as in-house company management plans that reflect its customers’ long-term values, technological trends, and so on.

Furthermore, policies are managed consistently with such guideline by putting them into practice at each level of TMC’s organization.

 

  2)

TMC has established product-based in-house companies, and adopted a field-oriented Group-wide organization in which each region, function and process is regarded as a “Group/Region” within which the “in-house companies” and individual divisions of the Group/Region play key roles in executing operations. The president and vice presidents who are also Operating Officers make decisions efficiently at the Board of Directors’ Meetings by accurately providing the company’s situation that are in conformity with the field. The in-house company presidents and responsible officers responsible for business execution are independently formulating and implementing policies for each organizational unit, and vice presidents and higher management are supervising these efforts.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

*Amounts are rounded to the nearest million yen unless otherwise stated.

[Significant matters pertaining to the preparation of consolidated financial statements]

1. Number of consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies accounted for by the equity method:

TMC has 608 consolidated subsidiaries (including variable interest entities) and 63 affiliated companies accounted for by the equity method.

2. Basis of consolidated financial statements:

TMC’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), pursuant to the provision of Article 120-3, Paragraph 1 of the Ordinance on Accounting of Companies. Also, pursuant to the provision of the latter part of Article 120, Paragraph 1 of the Ordinance on Accounting of Companies, which applies mutatis mutandis pursuant to Article 120-3, Paragraph 3 of the Ordinance on Accounting of Companies, certain disclosures and notes to the consolidated financial statements required under U.S. GAAP are omitted.

3. Standards and methods of valuation of securities:

Securities are stated at fair value. Toyota measures equity securities without readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes. The acquisition cost of the securities is determined on the average cost method.

4. Standards and methods of valuation of inventories:

Inventories are valued at cost, not in excess of market, cost being determined on the “average-cost” basis, except for the cost of finished products carried by certain subsidiary companies which is determined on the “specific identification” basis or “last-in, first-out” basis.

5. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets:

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is mainly computed on the declining-balance method for TMC and Japanese subsidiaries and on the straight-line method for foreign subsidiaries. Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized on the straight-line method.

6. Standards of accounting for reserves:

Allowance for doubtful accounts and allowance for credit losses are based primarily on the frequency of occurrence and loss severity. Accrued pension and severance costs are recognized based on the retirement benefit obligations measured by actuarial calculations less fair value of the plan assets.

Equity securities of subsidiaries and affiliates are stated at cost determined on the moving-average method.

Other securities:

Other securities with fair value are stated at fair value based on the market prices, etc. at the end of each fiscal year. (Differences in valuation are included directly in net assets; costs of securities are determined on the moving-average method.)

Other securities not practicable to determine their fair value are stated at cost determined on the moving-average method.

(2) Standards and methods of valuation of inventories

Standards:

Cost method (the amounts presented in the balance sheet are written down to the lower of cost or market value)

Methods:

Generally, average method

2. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed on the declining balance method.

3. Standards of accounting for reserves

(1) Allowance for doubtful accounts:

To prepare for losses from bad debt, allowance for doubtful accounts is provided in an amount which is determined by considering the historical loss experience and the collectibility of the receivables.

(2) Allowance for retirement benefits:

To provide for the retirement benefits for employees, including those already retired, allowance for retirement benefits is stated based on estimated retirement benefit obligations and estimated pension assets at the end of the fiscal year.

We have audited, pursuant to Article 444 (4) of the Companies Act of Japan, the consolidated financial statements, which consist of the consolidated balance sheets, the consolidated statements of income, the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements of Toyota Motor Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) for the fiscal year from April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019.

Management’s Responsibility for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the latter part of Article 120 (1) of the Ordinance on Accounting of Companies as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to Article 120-3 (3) of said Rules that allow the partial omission of the disclosure items required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Japan. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making the risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, while the purpose of the financial statements audit is not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as examining the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Conflict of interest:

We have no interest in or relationship with the Company which is required to be disclosed pursuant to the provisions of the Certified Public Accountants Act of Japan.
