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, 2013 do not necessarily indicate the results which may be expected for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 (“fiscal 2014”). 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, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 14, 2013. 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.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Related party transactions presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements are disclosed in Note 14 – Related Party Transactions of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Derivatives Offsetting of Derivatives The accounting guidance permits the net presentation on the Consolidated Balance Sheet of derivative receivables and derivative payables with the same counterparty and the related cash collateral when a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists. When we meet this condition, we elect to present such balances on a net basis. We use master netting agreements to mitigate counterparty credit risk in derivative transactions. A master netting agreement is a contract with a counterparty that permits multiple transactions governed by that contract to be cancelled and settled with a single net balance paid to either party in the event of default or other termination event outside the normal course of business, such as a ratings downgrade of either party to the contract.  Our reciprocal collateral agreements typically require the transfer of cash collateral to the party in a net asset position across all transactions governed by the master netting agreement. Upon default, the collateral agreement grants the party in a net asset position the right to set-off amounts receivable against any posted collateral.Note 1 – Interim Financial Data (Continued) New Accounting Guidance In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance which requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. The accounting guidance is effective for us on April 1, 2014. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2013, the FASB issued new guidance which permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) to be used as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. The new guidance also removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The accounting guidance is effective for us on July 17, 2013 and applies prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, except for certain obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. Specifically, the new guidance requires an entity to measure these obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. Additionally, the guidance requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations within the footnotes to its financial statements. Currently no such recognition, measurement, and disclosure requirement exists under U.S. GAAP. The accounting guidance is effective for us on April 1, 2014. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance In April 2013, we adopted new FASB accounting guidance that requires disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities for derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions. The guidance retains the current U.S. GAAP model that allows companies the option to present net in their balance sheets derivatives that are subject to a legally enforceable netting arrangement with the same party, where rights of set-off are available, including in the event of default or bankruptcy. However, the guidance adds new disclosure requirements to improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In April 2013, we adopted new FASB accounting guidance that requires us to disclose significant amounts reclassified out of each component of accumulated other comprehensive income and the affected income statement line item, only if the item reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for the organization, consolidation and basis of presentation of financial statements disclosure, and significant accounting policies of the reporting entity.
