PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Toyota Motor Credit Corporation was incorporated in California in 1982 and commenced operations in 1983.
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. We are wholly-owned by Toyota
Financial Services International Corporation (“TFSIC”), a California corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Toyota Financial Services Corporation (“TFSC”), a Japanese corporation. TFSC, in turn, is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation (“TMC”), a Japanese corporation. TFSC manages TMC’s worldwide
financial services operations. TMCC is marketed under the brands of Toyota Financial Services and Lexus Financial
Services.
We provide a variety of finance and insurance products to authorized Toyota and Lexus dealers or dealer groups and,
to a lesser extent, other domestic and import franchise dealers (collectively referred to as “dealers”) and their
customers in the United States of America (excluding Hawaii) (the “U.S.”) and Puerto Rico. Our products fall
primarily into the following categories:
Finance - We acquire retail installment sales contracts from dealers in the U.S. and Puerto Rico (“retail
contracts”) and leasing contracts accounted for as operating leases (“lease contracts”) from dealers in the
U.S. We collectively refer to our retail and lease contracts as the “consumer portfolio.” We also provide
dealer financing, including wholesale financing, working capital loans, revolving lines of credit and real
estate financing to dealers in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. We collectively refer to our dealer financing
portfolio as the “dealer portfolio.”
Insurance - Through Toyota Motor Insurance Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, and its insurance
company subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “TMIS”), we provide marketing, underwriting, and
claims administration for vehicle and payment protection products sold by dealers in the U.S. Our vehicle
and payment protection products include vehicle service agreements, guaranteed auto protection
agreements, prepaid maintenance contracts, excess wear and use agreements, tire and wheel protection
agreements, key replacement protection and used vehicle limited warranty agreements. TMIS also
provides coverage and related administrative services to certain of our affiliates in the U.S. Although the
vehicle and payment protection products are generally not regulated as insurance products, for ease of
reference we collectively refer to the group of products provided by TMIS herein as “insurance products.”
We support growth in earning assets through funding obtained primarily in the global capital markets as well as funds
provided by investing and operating activities. Refer to Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a discussion of our funding activities.
On April 16, 2019, we announced that we will restructure our field operations to better serve our dealer partners by
streamlining our field office structure and investing in new technology. We are currently in the process of
consolidating our field operations locations, which consist of dealer sales and service offices (“DSSOs”) and regional
management offices located in cities throughout the U.S., into three new regional dealer service centers (“DSCs”)
located in Chandler, Arizona (serving the West region), Plano, Texas (serving the Central region) and Alpharetta,
Georgia (serving the East region). The consolidation of field operations is expected to be complete by the end of fiscal
year 2021. The regional DSCs acquire retail and lease contracts from dealers, and market TMIS insurance products to
dealers.
The dealer lending function, previously located at the various DSSO’s, is now centralized at the DSC located in Plano,
Texas. The dealer lending function supports the dealers by providing wholesale financing and other dealer financing
activities such as business acquisitions, facilities refurbishment, real estate purchases, and working capital
requirements.
We service contracts through three regional customer service centers (“CSCs”) located throughout the U.S. The CSCs
support customer account servicing functions such as collections, lease terminations, and administration of both retail
and lease contract customer accounts. The Central region CSC also supports insurance product operations by
providing agreement and claims administrative services.
4
As of April 1, 2020, we began providing private label financial services to third-party automotive and mobility
companies commencing with the provision of services to Mazda Motor of America, Inc. (“Mazda”). Pursuant to our
previously disclosed agreement with Mazda, we currently offer exclusive private label automotive retail, lease, and
dealer financing products and services, and later in fiscal year 2021 intend to offer exclusive vehicle protection
products and services, marketed under the brand Mazda Financial Services to Mazda customers and dealers in the
United States. Our agreement with Mazda is for an initial term of approximately five years.
Available Information
Our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) may be found by accessing the SEC website
(http://www.sec.gov). A link to the SEC website and certain of our SEC filings are contained on our website located
at: www.toyotafinancial.com under “Investor Relations, SEC Filings”.
Investors and others should note that we announce material financial information using the investor relations section
of our website. We use our website, press releases, as well as social media to communicate with our investors,
customers and the general public about our company, our services and other issues. While not all of the information
that we post on our website or on social media is of a material nature, some information could be material. Therefore,
we encourage investors, the media, and others interested in our company to review the information we post on the
investor relations section of our website and our Twitter feed (http://www.twitter.com/toyotafinancial). We are not
incorporating any of the information set forth on our website or on social media channels into this filing on Form 10-
K.
Seasonality
Revenues generated by our retail and lease contracts are generally not subject to seasonal variations. Financing
volume is subject to a certain degree of seasonality. This seasonality does not have a significant impact on revenues as
collections, generally in the form of fixed payments, occur over the course of several years. We are subject to
seasonal variations in credit losses, which are historically higher in the first and fourth calendar quarters of the year.

Retail and Lease Financing
Pricing
We utilize a tiered pricing program, which matches interest rates with customer risk as defined by credit bureau scores
and other factors for a range of price and risk combinations. Each application is assigned a credit tier. Rates vary
based on credit tier, term, loan-to-value and collateral, including whether a new or used vehicle is financed. In
addition, special rates may apply as a result of promotional activities. We review and adjust interest rates based on
competitive and economic factors and distribute the rates, by tier, to dealers.
Underwriting
Dealers transmit customer credit applications electronically through our online system for contract acquisition. The
customer may submit a credit application directly to our website, in which case, the credit application is sent to the
dealer of the customer’s choice and is considered by us for preapproval. Upon receipt of the credit application, our
loan origination system automatically requests a credit bureau report from one of the major credit bureaus. We use a
proprietary credit scoring system to evaluate an applicant’s risk profile. Factors used by the credit scoring system
(based on the applicant’s credit history) include the term of the contract, ability to pay, debt ratios, amount financed
relative to the value of the vehicle to be financed, and credit bureau attributes such as number of trade lines, utilization
ratio and number of credit inquiries.
Credit applications are subject to systematic evaluation. Our loan origination system evaluates each application to
determine if it qualifies for automatic approval or decline without manual intervention (“auto-decisioning”) using
specific requirements, including internal credit score and other application characteristics. Typically, the highest
quality credit applications are approved automatically, and the lowest quality credit applications are automatically
declined.
Credit analysts (working in our field operations) approve or decline all credit applications that are not auto-decisioned
and may also approve an application that has been the subject of an automated decline. Failure to be automatically
approved through auto-decisioning does not mean that an application does not meet our underwriting guidelines. A
credit analyst decisions applications based on an evaluation that considers an applicant’s creditworthiness and
projected ability to meet the monthly payment obligation, which is derived from, among other things, the amount
financed and the term. A credit analyst will verify information contained in the credit application if the application
presents an elevated level of credit risk. Our proprietary scoring system assists the credit analyst in the credit review
process. The credit analyst’s final credit decision is made based upon the degree of credit risk perceived by the credit
analyst after assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the application.
Completion of the financing process is dependent upon whether the transaction is a retail or lease contract. For a retail
contract, we acquire the retail contract from the dealer and obtain a security interest in the vehicle. We perfect our
security interests in the financed retail vehicles through the applicable state department of motor vehicles (or
equivalent) with certificate of title filings or with Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) filings, as appropriate. For a
lease contract, except as described below under “Servicing”, we acquire the lease contract and concurrently assume
ownership of the leased vehicle. We have the right to pursue collection actions against a delinquent customer, as well
as repossess a vehicle if a customer fails to meet contractual obligations.
We regularly review and analyze our consumer portfolio to evaluate the effectiveness of our underwriting guidelines
and purchasing criteria. If external economic factors, credit losses, delinquency experience, market conditions or other
factors change, we may adjust our underwriting guidelines and purchasing criteria in order to change the asset quality
of our portfolio or to achieve other goals and objectives.
6
Subvention and Incentive Programs
Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. (“TMS”), a subsidiary of Toyota Motor North America, Inc. (“TMNA”), is the
primary distributor of Toyota and Lexus vehicles in the United States. In partnership with TMNA and certain non-
affiliated third party distributors, we may offer special promotional rates, which we refer to as subvention programs.
TMNA pays us the majority of the difference between our standard rate and the promotional rate. Amounts received
in connection with these programs allow us to maintain yields at levels consistent with standard program levels. The
level of subvention program activity varies based on the marketing strategies of TMNA, economic conditions, and
volume of new and used vehicle sales. The amount of subvention received varies based on the mix of Toyota and
Lexus vehicles included in the promotional rate programs and the timing of the programs. The majority of our lease
contracts and a significant portion of our retail contracts are subvened. We may also offer cash and contractual
residual value support incentive programs in partnership with TMNA. Subvention and other cash incentive program
payments offered in partnership with TMNA are settled at the beginning of the retail or lease contract. We may also
offer our own cash incentives and other competitive rate programs. We defer the payments and recognize them over
the life of the contract as a yield adjustment for retail contracts and as rental income or a reduction to depreciation
expense for lease contracts.
Servicing
Our CSCs are responsible for servicing the consumer portfolio. A centralized department manages third party vendor
relationships responsible for bankruptcy administration, liquidation and post charge-off recovery activities, certain
administrative activities, customer services activities and pre-charge-off collections with support from the CSCs.
We use an online collection and auto dialer system that prioritizes collection efforts and signals our collections
personnel to make telephone contact with delinquent customers. We also use a behavioral-based collection strategy to
minimize risk of loss and employ various collection methods based on behavioral scoring models (which analyze
borrowers’ payment performance, vehicle valuation and credit bureau scores to predict future payment behavior). We
generally determine whether to commence repossession efforts after an account is approximately 80 days past due.
Repossessed vehicles are held for sale to comply with statutory requirements and then sold at private auctions, unless
public auctions are required by state law. Any unpaid amounts remaining after the repossessed vehicle is sold or after
taking the full balance charge-off are pursued by us to the extent practical and legally permissible. Any surplus
amounts remaining after recovery fees, disposition costs, and other expenses have been paid, and after any reserve
charge-backs, dealer guarantees and optional product refunds have been credited to the customer’s account, are
refunded to the customers. Collections of post-sale deficiencies and full-balance charge-offs are handled by third
party vendors and the CSCs. We charge-off uncollectible portions of accounts when an account is deemed to be
uncollectible or when the account balance becomes 120 days contractually delinquent, whichever occurs first.
However, the CSCs will continue to collect or pursue recovery of the vehicle up to 190 days after the account is past
due.
We may, in accordance with our customary servicing procedures, offer rebates or waive any prepayment charge, late
payment charge, or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing the consumer portfolio. In
addition, we may defer a customer’s obligation to make a payment by extending the contract term. Refer to Item 1A.
Risk Factors, “Industry and Business Risk”-“We face various risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks,
which have had and may continue to have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows” and Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, “Recent Developments Related to COVID-19” for further discussion of payment relief programs offered
to customers affected by the coronavirus.
Substantially all of our retail and lease contracts are purchased as non-recourse from the dealers. This relieves the
dealers of financial responsibility in the event of a customer default.
We may experience a higher risk of loss if customers fail to maintain required insurance coverage. The terms of our
retail contracts require customers to maintain physical damage insurance covering loss or damage to the financed
vehicle in an amount not less than the full value of the vehicle and to provide evidence of such insurance upon our
request. The terms of each contract allow but do not require us to obtain any such insurance coverage on behalf of the
customer. In accordance with our customary servicing procedures, we do not exercise our right to obtain insurance
coverage on behalf of the customer. Our lease contracts require lessees to maintain minimum liability insurance and
physical damage insurance covering loss or damage to the leased vehicle in an amount not less than the full value of
the vehicle. We currently do not monitor ongoing customer insurance coverage as part of our customary servicing
procedures for the consumer portfolio.
7
Toyota Lease Trust, a Delaware business trust (the “Titling Trust”), acts as lessor and holds title to leased vehicles in
the U.S. This arrangement was established to facilitate lease securitizations. TMCC services lease contracts acquired
by the Titling Trust from Toyota and Lexus dealers. TMCC holds an undivided interest in lease contracts owned by
the Titling Trust, and these lease contracts are included in Investments in operating leases, net on our Consolidated
Balance Sheets.
Remarketing
The lessee may purchase the leased vehicle at the contractual residual value or return the leased vehicle to the dealer.
If the leased vehicle is returned to the dealer, the dealer may purchase the leased vehicle or return it to us. We are
responsible for disposing of the leased vehicle if the lessee or dealer does not purchase the vehicle at lease maturity.
In order to minimize losses when vehicles are returned to us, we have developed remarketing strategies to maximize
proceeds and minimize disposition costs on used vehicles. We use various channels to sell vehicles returned at lease-
end or repossessed prior to lease-end, including a dealer direct program (“Dealer Direct”) and physical auctions.
The goal of Dealer Direct is to increase dealer purchases of off-lease vehicles thereby reducing the disposition costs of
such vehicles. Through Dealer Direct, the dealer accepting return of the lease vehicle (the “grounding dealer”) has the
option to purchase the vehicle at the contractual residual value, purchase the vehicle at an assessed market value, or
return the vehicle to us. Vehicles not purchased by the grounding dealer are made available to all Toyota and Lexus
dealers through the Dealer Direct online auction. Vehicles not purchased through Dealer Direct are sold at physical
vehicle auction sites throughout the country. Where deemed necessary, we recondition used vehicles prior to sale in
order to enhance the vehicle values at auction. Refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors, “Industry and Business Risk”-“We
face various risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks, which have had and may continue to have material
adverse effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows”, -“A decrease in the residual
values of our off-lease vehicles and a higher number of returned lease assets could negatively affect our results of
operations and financial condition” and Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, “Recent Developments Related to COVID-19” for further discussion of the impact of
coronavirus on our remarketing activities and residual values.
Dealer Financing
Dealer financing is comprised of wholesale financing and other financing options designed to meet dealer business
needs.
Wholesale Financing
We provide wholesale financing to dealers for inventories of new and used Toyota, Lexus and other domestic and
import vehicles. We acquire a security interest in the vehicle inventory, and/or other dealership assets, as appropriate,
which we perfect through UCC filings. Wholesale financing may also be backed by corporate or individual guarantees
from, or on behalf of, affiliated dealers, dealer groups, or dealer principals. In the event of a dealer default under a
wholesale loan agreement, we have the right to liquidate assets in which we have a perfected security interest and to
seek legal remedies pursuant to the wholesale loan agreement and any applicable guarantees.
TMCC and TMNA are parties to an agreement pursuant to which TMNA will arrange for the repurchase of new
Toyota and Lexus vehicles at the aggregate cost financed by TMCC in the event of a dealer default under wholesale
financing. In addition, we provide other types of wholesale financing to certain Toyota and Lexus dealers and other
third parties, at the request of TMNA or private Toyota distributors, and TMNA or the applicable private distributor
guarantees the payments by such borrowers.
Other Dealer Financing
We provide fixed and variable rate working capital loans, revolving lines of credit, and real estate financing to dealers
and various multi-franchise organizations referred to as dealer groups for facilities construction and refurbishment,
working capital requirements, real estate purchases, business acquisitions and other general business purposes. These
loans are typically secured with liens on real estate, vehicle inventory, and/or other dealership assets, as appropriate,
and may be guaranteed by individual or corporate guarantees of affiliated dealers, dealer groups, or dealer principals.
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. Our pricing reflects market conditions, the competitive
environment, the level of support dealers provide our retail, lease and insurance products and the creditworthiness of
each dealer.
8
Before establishing a wholesale loan or other dealer financing agreement, we perform a credit analysis of the dealer.
During this analysis, we:
Review financial statements and we may obtain credit reports and bank references;
Evaluate the dealer’s financial condition and history of servicing debt; and
Assess the dealer’s operations and management.
On the basis of this analysis, we may approve the issuance of a loan or financing agreement and determine the
appropriate amount to lend.
As part of our monitoring processes, we may require dealers to submit periodic financial statements. We also perform
periodic physical audits of vehicle inventory as well as monitor the timeliness of dealer inventory financing payoffs in
accordance with the agreed-upon terms to identify possible risks.
9
INSURANCE OPERATIONS
TMIS offers vehicle and payment protection products on Toyota, Lexus and other domestic and import vehicles that
are sold by dealers as part of the dealer’s sale of a vehicle as further described below. Vehicle service agreements
offer vehicle owners and lessees mechanical breakdown protection for new and used vehicles secondary to the
manufacturer’s new vehicle warranty. Guaranteed auto protection agreements provide coverage for a lease or retail
contract deficiency balance in the event of a total loss or theft of the covered vehicle. Prepaid maintenance contracts
provide maintenance services at manufacturer recommended intervals. Excess wear and use agreements are available
on leases of Toyota and Lexus vehicles and protect against excess wear and use charges that may be assessed at lease
termination. Tire and wheel protection agreements provide coverage in the event that a covered vehicle’s tires or
wheels become damaged as a result of a road hazard or structural failure due to a defect in material or workmanship, to
the extent not covered by the manufacturer or the tire distributor warranties. Certain tire and wheel protection
agreements also cover expenses related either to replacing or reprogramming a vehicle key or vehicle key remote in
the event of loss or damage. Key replacement protection provides stand-alone coverage for expenses related either to
replacing or reprogramming a vehicle key or vehicle key remote in the event of loss or damage. Used vehicle limited
warranty agreements are included with the purchase of a used vehicle and provides for the repair or replacement of
certain covered components that have mechanically failed on the covered used vehicle.
TMIS provides TMNA contractual indemnity insurance coverage for limited warranties on certified Toyota and Lexus
pre-owned vehicles. TMIS also provides umbrella liability insurance to TMNA and other affiliates covering certain
dollar value layers of risk above various primary or self-insured retentions. On all layers in which TMIS provides
coverage, 99 percent of the risk is ceded to a reinsurer.
Effective September 2018, TMIS discontinued the wholesale inventory insurance program for which certain Toyota,
Lexus and other domestic and import dealers obtained coverage for eligible vehicle inventory. The discontinuation of
the wholesale inventory program did not have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial condition
for our insurance operations.
10
RELATIONSHIPS WITH AFFILIATES
TMCC is party to agreements with TMNA and certain TMNA subsidiaries. For ease of reference herein, we refer
solely to the parent entity, TMNA. As a result, all references to the agreements or activities of TMNA herein that are
carried out by a TMNA subsidiary are deemed to also make reference to and include the applicable TMNA subsidiary.
TMNA sponsors subvention, cash and contractual residual value support incentive programs on certain new and used
Toyota and Lexus vehicles. The level of incentive program activity varies based on TMNA marketing strategies,
economic conditions, and volume of vehicle sales.
TMCC and TMNA are parties to an agreement pursuant to which TMNA will arrange for the repurchase of new
Toyota and Lexus vehicles at the aggregate cost financed by TMCC in the event of a dealer default under wholesale
financing. In addition, we provide other types of financing to certain Toyota and Lexus dealers and other third parties,
at the request of TMNA or private Toyota distributors, and TMNA or the applicable private distributor guarantees the
payments by such borrowers.
TMNA provides shared services to TMCC, including certain technological and administrative services, such as
information systems support, facilities, insurance coverage, human resources and other corporate services. TMCC
also provides shared services to TMNA, including certain treasury and procurement services.
Prior to January 1, 2015, our employees were generally eligible to participate in the Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.
Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”). Effective January 1, 2015, the Pension Plan was closed to employees first
employed or reemployed on or after such date. Employees meeting certain eligibility requirements may participate in
the Toyota Motor North America, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the “Savings Plan”). Certain employees hired on or
after January 1, 2015, may be eligible to receive an additional contribution to the Savings Plan calculated based on
their age and compensation. Various health, life and other post-retirement benefits are offered and sponsored by
TMNA, as discussed further in Note 10 – Pension and Other Benefit Plans of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
TMCC is party to agreements with TMNA and other affiliates relating to the team member vehicle benefit program,
which allows team members to lease Toyota and Lexus vehicles on terms exclusive to the benefit program. TMNA
serves as the chief administrator of the program. TMCC acquires and services team member leases entered into after
the third quarter of fiscal 2018. A portion of the vehicles used for the team member vehicle benefit program are
acquired from TMNA. TMCC receives a per vehicle contribution from participating affiliates to assist with the costs
of its contribution to the benefit program, and TMCC pays a per vehicle participation fee to TMNA to participate in
the benefit program.
TMCC and Toyota Financial Savings Bank (“TFSB”), a Nevada thrift company owned by TFSIC, are parties to a
master shared services agreement under which TMCC and TFSB provide certain services to each other. TMCC and
TFSB are also parties to an expense reimbursement agreement, which provides that TMCC will reimburse certain
expenses incurred by TFSB in connection with providing certain financial products and services to TMCC’s customers
and dealers in support of TMCC’s customer loyalty strategy and programs.
TMCC is party to a revolving credit facility with TMS expiring in fiscal 2022 which may be used for general corporate
purposes. This agreement is further discussed in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
Credit support agreements exist between TMCC and TFSC and between TFSC and TMC. These agreements are
further discussed in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,
“Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
TMIS provides administrative services and various types of coverage to TMNA and other affiliates, including
contractual indemnity coverage for limited warranties on TMNA’s certified pre-owned vehicle program and umbrella
liability insurance.
Refer to Note 12 – Related Party Transactions of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information.
11
COMPETITION
We operate in a highly competitive environment and compete with other financial institutions including national and
regional commercial banks, credit unions, savings and loan associations, online banks, and finance companies. To a
lesser extent, we compete with other automobile manufacturers’ affiliated finance companies that actively seek to
purchase retail contracts through Toyota and Lexus dealers. We also compete with national and regional commercial
banks and other automobile manufacturers’ affiliated finance companies for dealer financing. No single competitor is
dominant in the industry. We compete primarily through service quality, our relationship with TMNA, and financing
rates. We seek to provide exceptional customer service and competitive financing programs to our dealers and to their
customers. Our affiliation with TMNA offers an advantage in providing financing or leasing of Toyota and Lexus
vehicles.
Competition for the insurance products is primarily from national and regional independent service contract providers.
We compete primarily through service quality, our relationship with TMNA and product benefits. Our affiliation with
TMNA provides an advantage in selling our insurance products and services.
REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
Our finance and insurance products are regulated under both federal and state law.
Federal Consumer Finance Regulation
Our finance operations are governed by, among other federal laws, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Truth in
Lending Act, the Consumer Leasing Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, the
unfair, deceptive and abusive practices (UDAAP) provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), and the consumer data privacy and security provisions of the Gramm-Leach
Bliley Act.
The Equal Credit Opportunity Act is designed to prevent credit discrimination on the basis of certain protected classes,
requires the distribution of specified credit decision notices and limits the information that may be requested and
considered in a credit transaction. The Truth in Lending Act and the Consumer Leasing Act place disclosure and
substantive transaction restrictions on consumer credit and leasing transactions. The Fair Credit Reporting Act
imposes restrictions and requirements regarding our use and sharing of credit reports, the reporting of data to credit
reporting agencies including the accuracy and integrity of information reported, credit decision notices, consumer
dispute handling procedures and identity theft prevention requirements. The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act
provides additional protections for certain customers in the military. For example, it requires us, in most
circumstances, to reduce the interest rate charged to customers who have subsequently joined, enlisted, been inducted
or called to active military duty, and also requires us to allow eligible servicemembers to terminate their lease
agreements with us early without penalty. UDAAP laws prohibit practices that are unfair, deceptive or abusive
towards consumers.
Federal privacy and data security laws place restrictions on our use and sharing of consumer data, impose privacy
notice requirements, give consumers the right to opt out of certain uses and sharing of their data and impose
safeguarding rules regarding the maintenance, storage, transmission and destruction of consumer data. Cybersecurity
and data privacy are areas of heightened legislative and regulatory focus. The timing and effects of potential
legislative or regulatory changes to data privacy regulations is uncertain.
In addition, the dealers who originate our retail and lease contracts also must comply with federal credit and trade
practice statutes and regulations. Failure of the dealers to comply with these statutes and regulations could result in
remedies that could have an adverse effect on us.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) has broad rulemaking, supervisory and enforcement authority
over entities offering consumer financial services or products, including non-bank companies, such as TMCC
(“Covered Entities”).
The CFPB’s supervisory authority has focused on fair lending compliance, the marketing and sale of certain optional
products, including products similar to those we finance or sell through TMIS and credit reporting.
The CFPB’s supervisory authority permits it to examine Covered Entities for compliance with consumer financial
protection laws. These examinations could result in enforcement actions, regulatory fines and mandated changes to our
business, products, policies and procedures.
12
The CFPB’s enforcement authority permits it to conduct investigations (which may include a joint investigation with
other agencies and regulators) of, and initiate enforcement actions related to, violations of federal consumer financial
protection laws. The CFPB has the authority to obtain cease and desist orders (which can include orders for restitution
or rescission of contracts, as well as other types of affirmative relief), or other forms of remediation, and/or impose
monetary penalties. The CFPB and the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) may investigate the products, services and
operations of credit providers, including banks and other finance companies engaged in auto finance activities. As a
result of such investigations, both the CFPB and FTC have announced various enforcement actions against lenders in
the past few years involving significant penalties, consent orders, cease and desist orders and similar remedies that, if
applicable to us or the products, services and operations we offer, may require us to cease or alter certain business
practices, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.
State Regulation
A majority of states (and Puerto Rico) have enacted legislation establishing licensing requirements to conduct
financing activities. We must renew these licenses periodically. Most states also impose limits on the maximum rate
of finance charges. In certain states, the margin between the present statutory maximum interest rates and borrowing
costs is sufficiently narrow that, in periods of rapidly increasing or high interest rates, there could be an adverse effect
on our operations in these states if we were unable to pass on increased interest costs to our customers. Some state
laws impose rate and other restrictions on credit transactions with customers in active military status in addition to
those imposed by the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.
State laws also impose requirements and restrictions on us with respect to, among other matters, required credit
application and finance and lease disclosures, late fees and other charges, the right to repossess a vehicle for failure to
pay or other defaults under the retail or lease contract, other rights and remedies we may exercise in the event of a
default under the retail or lease contract, and other consumer protection matters. Many states are also focusing on
cybersecurity and data privacy as areas warranting consumer protection. Some states have passed complex legislation
dealing with consumer information, which impacts companies such as TMCC. For example, in California a new data
protection regime has taken effect, that grants consumers broad new rights relating to access to, deletion of, and
sharing of personal information that is collected by businesses and requiring regulated entities to establish measures to
identify, manage, secure, track, produce and delete personal information. In some jurisdictions, these laws and
regulations provide a private right of action that would allow customers to bring suit directly against us for
mishandling their data for certain violations of these laws and regulations.
TMIS operations are subject to state regulations and licensing requirements. State laws vary with respect to which
products are regulated and what types of corporate licenses and filings are required to offer certain products. Certain
products offered by TMIS are covered by state privacy laws as well as new cybersecurity and data privacy legislation.
Our insurance company subsidiaries must be appropriately licensed in certain states in which they conduct business,
must maintain minimum capital requirements and file annual financial information as determined by their state of
domicile and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Failure to comply with these requirements could
have an adverse effect on insurance operations in a particular state. We actively monitor applicable laws and
regulations in each state in order to maintain compliance.
State regulators are taking a more stringent approach to supervising and regulating providers of financial products and
services subject to their jurisdiction. We expect to continue to face greater supervisory scrutiny and enhanced
supervisory requirements for the foreseeable future.
Other Federal and International Regulation
Under the Volcker Rule, companies affiliated with U.S. insured depository institutions are generally prohibited from
engaging in “proprietary trading” and certain transactions with certain privately offered funds. The activities
prohibited by the Volcker Rule are not core activities for us. In the future, however, the federal financial regulatory
agencies charged with implementing the Volcker Rule could amend the rule or change their approach to administering,
enforcing or interpreting the rule, which could negatively affect us and potentially require us to limit or change our
activities or operations.
The Dodd-Frank Act amended the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) to establish a comprehensive framework
for the regulation of certain over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives referred to as swaps. Under the Dodd-Frank Act,
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) is required to adopt certain rules and regulations governing
swaps. The CFTC has completed almost all of its regulations in this area, most of which are in effect.
13
The OTC derivatives provisions of the CEA, as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act, impose clearing, trading and margin
requirements on certain contracts. At present, we qualify for exceptions from these requirements for the swaps that we
enter into to hedge our commercial risks. However, if we were to no longer qualify for such exceptions, we could
become subject to some or all of these requirements, which would increase our cost of entering into and maintaining
such hedging positions.
If we reduce our use of OTC derivatives as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act and resulting regulations, our results of
operations may become more volatile and our cash flows may be less predictable, which could adversely affect our
ability to plan for and fund capital expenditures.
We continually review our operations for compliance with applicable laws. Future administrative rulings, judicial
decisions, legislation, regulations and regulatory guidance, and supervision and enforcement actions may result in
monetary penalties, increase our compliance costs, require changes in our business practices, affect our
competitiveness, impair our profitability, harm our reputation or otherwise adversely affect our business.
Refer to Part 1, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “The regulatory environment in which we operate could have a material
adverse effect on our business and results of operations.”
EMPLOYEE RELATIONS
At April 30, 2020, we had approximately 3,300 employees. We consider our employee relations to be satisfactory.
We are not subject to any collective bargaining agreements with our employees.
14
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We are exposed to certain risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of
operations and financial condition. There may be additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that
we currently consider immaterial that may also have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations
and financial condition.
Industry and Business Risk
We face various risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks, which have had and are expected to
continue to have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We face various risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks, including the global outbreak of coronavirus
(“COVID-19”). The COVID-19 pandemic, changes in consumer behavior related to illness, pandemic fears and
market downturns, and restrictions intended to slow the spread of COVID-19, including quarantines, government-
mandated actions, stay-at-home orders and other restrictions, have led to disruption and volatility in the global capital
markets, which has increased our cost of capital and adversely affected our ability to access the capital markets. For
more information on how a disruption in the global capital markets affects our liquidity, please see risk factor “A
disruption in our funding sources and access to the capital markets would have an adverse effect on our liquidity”.
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions intended to slow the spread of COVID-19 have adversely
affected our business, and the business of our affiliate, TMNA, and our ultimate parent, TMC, in a number of ways.
Similar to relief options we offer to customers and dealers impacted by natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods,
tornadoes and wildfires, we are offering payment relief options to customers and dealers impacted by COVID-19,
including finance contract extensions, lease deferred payments, temporary interest deferrals for dealer floorplan
financing, and principal payment deferral options for dealer real estate and working capital loans, and temporarily
suspended outbound collection activities in states with state-wide stay-at-home orders and repossession activities
nationwide for a period of time, but have since resumed outbound collection activities in nearly all states (collectively,
the “COVID-19 Relief”). Our payment relief programs currently allow existing customers who request assistance to
defer their loan or lease payments for up to 120 days and waive certain fees, but with interest continuing to accrue.
We may terminate, or modify the scope, duration and terms of, our COVID-19 payment relief programs at any time.
Unlike the relief options offered for natural disasters, which were limited to the affected geographies, the COVID-19
Relief is being offered nationwide due to the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and may not be successful in
reducing future increases to our provisions for credit losses. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased our residual
value losses, and has adversely affected our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows and
may continue to do so if there is not a substantial economic recovery. We have also temporarily transitioned nearly all
of our team members to remote work arrangements, and many Toyota and Lexus dealerships have temporarily closed
and more may voluntarily close, or be mandated to close, in the near future. TMNA temporarily suspended production
at all of its automobile and components plants in North America from March 23, 2020 through May 8, 2020 and TMC
has temporarily suspended production at selected plants in countries outside of North America. Although TMNA and
many of its suppliers are resuming production, unexpected delays affecting the supply chain or logistics network could
negatively impact dealer inventory levels, vehicle sales, the sale of our financing and insurance products, dealer
profitability and creditworthiness, and our future results of operations.
These events have disrupted the supply chains of the vehicles we finance, and have had a material adverse effect on
the sale of vehicles and our financing and insurance products. These events have also caused an unprecedented level
of unemployment claims, resulted in a significant decline in consumer confidence and spending, and a sharp decline in
economic conditions. In addition, these events have caused a significant decline in used vehicle prices, and significant
increase in delinquencies and may cause an increase in dealer defaults, which have resulted in materially increased
provisions for credit losses and residual value losses, which may continue if there is not a substantial economic
recovery. The foregoing events, and the uncertainty relating thereto, have also adversely affected our credit rating and
may result in further actions or downgrades by credit ratings agencies. For more information regarding impacts of
credit rating changes on TMCC, please see risk factor “Our borrowing costs and access to the unsecured debt capital
markets depend significantly on the credit ratings of TMCC and its parent companies and our credit support
arrangements”.
15
If significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,
including because of illness, quarantines, facility closures, ineffective remote work arrangements or technology
failures or limitations, our operations would be adversely impacted. Certain of our third-party suppliers and business
partners that we rely on to deliver our products and services and to operate our business have informed us that they
will be unable to perform fully, and we may receive similar notifications from other suppliers and business partners in
the near future, which could adversely impact our ability to operate our business and increase our costs and expenses.
These increased costs and expenses may not be fully recoverable or adequately covered by insurance. We are working
with our stakeholders (including customers, dealers, team members, suppliers and business partners) to assess the
ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and to take actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences.
The duration and possible resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain. The extension of curtailed economic
activities as a result of further outbreak of COVID-19, extended or additional government restrictions intended to slow
the spread of the virus, or delayed consumer response once restrictions have been lifted could have further negative
impact on used vehicle values, consumer economics, dealerships, and auction sites, which could have a material
adverse impact on our future results of operations. If the number of our customers and dealers experiencing hardship
increases or it becomes necessary to further extend our payment relief options, it could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and our future results of operations.
The foregoing impacts and other unforeseen impacts not referenced herein, as well as the ultimate impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic, are difficult to predict and have had and are expected to have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
General business, economic, and geopolitical conditions, as well as other market events, may adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our results of operations and financial condition are affected by a variety of factors, including changes in the overall
market for retail contracts, wholesale motor vehicle financing, leasing or dealer financing, the new and used vehicle
market, changes in the level of sales of Toyota and Lexus vehicles, the rate of growth in the number and average
balance of customer accounts, the U.S. regulatory environment, competition from other financiers, rate of default by
our customers, the interest rates we are required to pay on the funding we require to support our business, amounts of
funding available to us, changes in the U.S. and international wholesale capital funding markets, our credit ratings, the
success of efforts to expand our product lines, levels of operating and administrative expenses (including, but not
limited to, personnel costs, technology costs and premises costs (including costs associated with reorganization or
relocation), general economic conditions, inflation, and fiscal and monetary policies in the U.S., Europe and other
countries in which we issue debt. Further, a significant and sustained increase in fuel prices could lead to lower new
and used vehicle purchases. This could reduce the demand for retail, lease and wholesale financing. In turn, lower
used vehicle values could affect return rates, charge-offs and depreciation on operating leases.
Economic slowdown and recession in the United States may lead to diminished consumer and business confidence,
lower household incomes, increases in unemployment rates, higher consumer debt levels as well as higher consumer
and commercial bankruptcy filings, any of which could adversely affect vehicle sales and discretionary consumer
spending. These conditions may decrease the demand for our financing products, as well as increase our
delinquencies and credit losses. In addition, because our credit exposures are generally collateralized by vehicles, the
severity of losses can be particularly affected by declines in used vehicle values. Dealers are also be affected by
economic slowdown and recession, which increases the risk of default of certain dealers within our dealer portfolio.
Elevated levels of market disruption and volatility, such as in the U.S., Europe and Asia, could increase our cost of
capital and adversely affect our ability to access the global capital markets and fund our business in a similar manner,
and at a similar cost to the funding raised in the past. These market conditions could also have an adverse effect on
our results of operations and financial condition by diminishing the value of our investment portfolio and increasing
our cost of funding. If as a result we increase the rates we charge to our customers and dealers, our competitive
position could be negatively affected.
Challenging market conditions may result in less liquidity, greater volatility, widening of credit spreads and lack of
price transparency in credit markets. Changes in investment markets, including changes in interest rates, exchange
rates and returns from equity, property and other investments, will affect (directly or indirectly) our financial
performance.
16
If there is a continued and sustained period of market disruption and volatility:
there can be no assurance that we will continue to have access to the capital markets in a similar manner
and at a similar cost as we have had in the past;
issues of debt securities may be undertaken at spreads above benchmark rates that are greater than those
on similar issuances undertaken during the prior several years;
we may be subject to over-reliance on a particular funding source or a simultaneous increase in funding
costs across a broad range of sources; and
the ratio of our short-term debt outstanding to total debt outstanding may increase if negative conditions in
the debt markets lead us to replace some maturing long-term liabilities with short-term liabilities (for
example, commercial paper).
Any of these developments could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Geopolitical conditions and other market events may also impact our results of operations. Restrictive exchange or
import controls or other disruptive trade policies, disruption of operations as a result of systemic political or economic
instability, social unrest, outbreak of war or expansion of hostilities, health epidemics and other outbreaks, and acts of
terrorism, could each have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Developments related to the United Kingdom’s recent withdrawal from the European Union (“Brexit”) have created
significant political and economic uncertainty in the United Kingdom and in other European Union member states.
While we operate in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, the global financial, trade, and legal implications of Brexit could lead to
declines in market liquidity and activity levels, volatile market conditions, a contraction of available credit,
fluctuations in interest rates, weaker economic growth, and reduced business confidence on an international level, each
of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our results of operations and financial condition are substantially dependent upon the sale of Toyota and Lexus
vehicles, as well as our ability to offer competitive financing and insurance products.
We primarily provide a variety of finance and insurance products to authorized Toyota and Lexus dealers and their
customers in the U.S. Accordingly, our business is substantially dependent upon the sale of Toyota and Lexus
vehicles in the U.S. Changes in the volume of sales may result from governmental action or changes in governmental
regulation or trade policies, changes in consumer demand, new vehicle incentive programs, recalls, the actual or
perceived quality, safety or reliability of Toyota and Lexus vehicles, economic conditions, increased competition,
increases in the price of vehicles due to increased raw material costs, changes in import fees or tariffs on raw materials
or imported vehicles, changes to or withdrawals from trade agreements (including the United States-Mexico-Canada
Agreement, which is expected to go into effect during fiscal year 2021, currency fluctuations, fluctuations in interest
rates, decreased or delayed vehicle production due to natural disasters, supply chain interruptions or other events. In
addition, many manufacturers have increased their level of incentive programs on new vehicles in an attempt to
maintain and grow market share; these incentives historically have included a combination of subvention, price
rebates, and other incentives. Any negative impact on the volume of TMNA sales could have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
TMS, a subsidiary of TMNA, is the primary distributor of Toyota and Lexus vehicles in the U.S. While TMNA
conducts extensive market research before launching new or refreshed vehicles and introducing new services, many
factors both within and outside TMNA’s control affect the success of new or existing products and services in the
marketplace. Offering vehicles and services that customers want and value can mitigate the risks of increasing price
competition and declining demand, but products and services that are perceived to be less desirable (whether in terms
of product mix, price, quality, styling, safety, overall value, fuel efficiency, or other attributes) and the level of
availability of products and services that are desirable can exacerbate these risks. With increased consumer
interconnectedness through the internet, social media, and other media, mere allegations relating to quality, safety, fuel
efficiency, corporate social responsibility, or other key attributes can negatively impact TMNA’s reputation or market
acceptance of its products or services, even where such allegations prove to be inaccurate or unfounded.
In addition, the volume of TMNA sales may also be affected by Toyota’s ability to successfully grow through
investments in the area of emerging opportunities such as mobility and connected services, vehicle electrification, fuel
cell technology and autonomy, which depends on many factors, including advancements in technology, regulatory
changes, and other factors that are difficult to predict.
17
We operate in a highly competitive environment and compete with other financial institutions and, to a lesser extent,
other automobile manufacturers’ affiliated finance companies primarily through service, quality, our relationship with
TMNA, and financing rates. TMNA sponsors subvention, cash, and contractual residual value support incentive
programs offered by us on certain new and used Toyota and Lexus vehicles. Our ability to offer competitive financing
and insurance products in the U.S. depends in part on the level of TMNA sponsored subvention, cash, and contractual
residual value support incentive program activity, which varies based on TMNA marketing strategies, economic
conditions, and the volume of vehicle sales, among other factors. Any negative impact on the level of TMNA
sponsored subvention, cash, and contractual residual value support incentive programs could in turn have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Changes in consumer behavior could affect the automotive industry, TMNA and TMC, and, as a result, our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
A number of trends are affecting the automotive industry. These include a market shift from cars to sport utility
vehicles (“SUVs”) and trucks, high demand for incentives, the rise of mobility services such as vehicle sharing and
ride hailing, the development of autonomous and alternative-energy vehicles, the impact of demographic shifts on
attitudes and behaviors toward vehicle ownership and use, the development of flexible alternatives to traditional
financing and leasing such as subscription service offerings, changing expectations around the vehicle buying
experience, adjustments in the geographic distribution of new and used vehicle sales, and advancements in
communications and technology. Any one or more of these trends could adversely affect the automotive industry,
TMNA and TMC, and could in turn have an impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Recalls and other related announcements by TMNA could affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
TMNA periodically conducts vehicle recalls which could include temporary suspensions of sales and production of
certain Toyota and Lexus models. Because our business is substantially dependent upon the sale of Toyota and Lexus
vehicles, such events could adversely affect our business. A decrease in the level of sales, including as a result of the
actual or perceived quality, safety or reliability of Toyota and Lexus vehicles or a change in standards of regulatory
bodies will have a negative impact on the level of our financing volume, insurance volume, earning assets, Net
financing revenues and insurance revenues. The credit performance of our dealer and consumer portfolios may also be
adversely affected. In addition, a decline in the values of used Toyota and Lexus vehicles would have a negative
effect on residual values and return rates, which, in turn, could increase depreciation expense and credit
losses. Further, certain of TMCC’s affiliated entities are or may become subject to litigation and governmental
investigations and have been or may become subject to fines or other penalties. These factors could affect sales of
Toyota and Lexus vehicles and, accordingly, could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
If we are unable to compete successfully or if competition increases in the businesses in which we operate, our
results of operations could be negatively affected.
We operate in a highly competitive environment. We compete with other financial institutions including national and
regional commercial banks, credit unions, savings and loan associations, finance companies, and to a lesser extent,
other automobile manufacturers’ affiliated finance companies. In addition, online financing options provide
consumers with alternative financing sources. Increases in competitive pressures could have an adverse impact on our
contract volume, market share, Net financing revenues, insurance revenues and margins. Further, the financial
condition and viability of our competitors and peers may have an adverse impact on the financial services industry in
which we operate, resulting in a decrease in the demand for our products and services. This could have an adverse
impact on the volume of our business and our results of operations.
A failure or interruption in our operations could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from, among other factors, lack of established processes, inadequate or
failed processes, systems or internal controls, theft, fraud, natural disasters or other catastrophes (including without
limitation, explosions, fires, floods, earthquakes, terrorist attacks, riots, civil disturbances and health epidemics and
other outbreaks). Operational risk can occur in many forms including, but not limited to, errors, business
interruptions, failure of controls, failure of systems or other technology, deficiencies in our insurance risk management
program, inappropriate behavior or misconduct by our employees or those contracted to perform services for us, and
vendors that do not perform in accordance with their contractual agreements. We have established business recovery
plans to address interruptions in our operations, but we can give no assurance that these plans will be adequate to
remediate all events that we may face. A catastrophic event that results in the destruction or disruption of any of our
18
critical business or information technology systems could harm our ability to conduct normal business
operations. These events can potentially result in financial losses or other damage to us, including damage to our
reputation.
We rely on a framework of internal controls designed to provide a sound and well-controlled operating
environment. Due to the complexity of our business and the challenges inherent in implementing control structures
across large organizations, control issues could be identified in the future that could have a material adverse effect on
our operations.
We are currently in the process of consolidating our field operations, which consist of DSSO’s, three regional
management offices, and two dealer funding teams, into three new regional dealer service centers. Our dealer lending
function will be centralized at the new dealer service center located in Plano, Texas. Refer to Item 1. Business,
“General” for further discussion of the field operations restructuring. We can give no assurance that the restructuring
of our field operations will be completed as planned or within the expected timing or budget, and the expected benefits
may not be fully realized due to associated disruption to field operations and personnel.
In addition, many parts of our business are dependent on key personnel. Our future success depends on our ability to
retain existing, and attract, hire and integrate new key personnel and other necessary employees. Any failure to do so
could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our private label financial services for third-party automotive and mobility companies may expose us to additional
risks that could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
As of April 1, 2020, we began providing private label financial services to third-party automotive and mobility
companies commencing with the provision of services to Mazda Motor of America, Inc. (“Mazda”). Pursuant to our
previously disclosed agreement with Mazda, we currently offer exclusive private label automotive retail, lease, and
dealer financing products and services, and later in fiscal year 2021 intend to offer exclusive vehicle protection
products and services, marketed under the brand Mazda Financial Services to Mazda customers and dealers in the
United States. Our agreement with Mazda is for an initial term of approximately five years.
Although we intend to leverage our strengths and capabilities to serve and retain new Mazda customers, we may
encounter additional costs and may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of our private label finance services program.
The provision of wholesale and retail financing to Mazda dealers and customers may result in additional credit risk
exposure, which if we are unable to appropriately monitor and mitigate may result in an adverse effect on our results
of operations and financial condition. Our private label finance services may also expose us to additional operating
risks related to consumer demand for Mazda vehicles, the profitability and financial condition of Mazda, the level of
Mazda’s incentivized retail financing, recalls announced by Mazda and the perceived quality, safety or reliability of
Mazda vehicles, and changes in prices of Mazda used vehicles and their effect on residual values of Mazda off-lease
vehicles and return rates, each of which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
Financial Market and Economic Risks
Our borrowing costs and access to the unsecured debt capital markets depend significantly on the credit ratings of
TMCC and its parent companies and our credit support arrangements.
The availability and cost of financing is influenced by credit ratings, which are intended to be an indicator of the
creditworthiness of a particular company, security or obligation. Our credit ratings depend, in large part, on the
existence of the credit support arrangements with TFSC and TMC and on the financial condition and results of
operations of TMC. If these arrangements (or replacement arrangements acceptable to the rating agencies) become
unavailable to us, or if the credit ratings of the credit support providers were lowered, our credit ratings would be
adversely impacted.
Credit rating agencies which rate the credit of TMC and its affiliates, including TMCC, may qualify or alter ratings at
any time. Global economic conditions and other geopolitical factors may directly or indirectly affect such ratings.
Any downgrade in the sovereign credit ratings of the U.S. or Japan may directly or indirectly have a negative effect on
the ratings of TMC and TMCC. Downgrades or placement on review for possible downgrades could result in an
increase in our borrowing costs as well as reduced access to the global unsecured debt capital markets. These factors
would have a negative impact on our competitive position, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
19
A disruption in our funding sources and access to the capital markets would have an adverse effect on our liquidity.
Liquidity risk is the risk arising from our ability to meet obligations in a timely manner when they come due. Our
liquidity strategy is to maintain the capacity to fund assets and repay liabilities in a timely and cost-effective manner
even in adverse market conditions. A disruption in our funding sources may adversely affect our ability to meet our
obligations as they become due. An inability to meet obligations in a timely manner would have a negative impact on
our ability to refinance maturing debt and fund new asset growth and would have an adverse effect on our results of
operations and financial condition.
Refer to Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, “Liquidity
and Capital Resources” for further discussion of liquidity risk.
Our allowance for credit losses may not be adequate to cover actual losses, which may adversely affect our results
of operations and financial condition.
We maintain an allowance for credit losses to cover probable and estimable losses as of the balance sheet date
resulting from the non-performance of our customers and dealers under their contractual obligations. The
determination of the allowance involves significant assumptions, complex analyses, and management judgment and
requires us to make significant estimates of current credit risks using existing qualitative and quantitative information.
Actual results may differ from our estimates or assumptions. For example, we review and analyze external factors,
including changes in economic conditions, actual or perceived quality, safety and reliability of Toyota and Lexus
vehicles, unemployment levels, the used vehicle market, and consumer behavior, among other factors. Internal
factors, such as purchase quality mix and operational changes are also considered. A change in any of these factors
would cause a change in estimated probable losses. As a result, our allowance for credit losses may not be adequate to
cover our actual losses. In addition, changes in accounting rules and related guidance, new information regarding
existing portfolios, and other factors, both within and outside of our control, may require changes to the allowance for
credit losses. A material increase in our allowance for credit losses may adversely affect our results of operations and
financial condition.
Refer to Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, “Critical
Accounting Estimates” for further discussion of the estimates involved in determining the allowance for credit losses
and Note 5 – Allowance for Credit Losses of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of
the methodology used in determining the allowance for credit losses.
Our business and operations make extensive use of quantitative models, estimates and assumptions. If our design,
implementation or use of models is flawed or if actual results differ from our estimates or assumptions, our results
of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
We use quantitative models, estimates and assumptions to price products and services, measure risk, estimate asset and
liability values, assess liquidity, manage our balance sheet, and otherwise conduct our business and operations. If the
design, implementation, or use of any of these models is flawed or if actual results different from our estimates or
assumptions, it may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, to the extent that
any inaccurate model outputs are used in reports to regulatory agencies or the public, we could be subjected to
supervisory actions, litigation, and other proceedings that may adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
Assumptions and estimates often involve matters that require the exercise of management’s judgment, are inherently
difficult to predict and are beyond our control (for example, macro-economic conditions). In addition, such
assumptions and estimates often involve complex interactions between a number of dependent and independent
variables, factors, and other assumptions. As a result, our actual experience may differ materially from these estimates
and assumptions. A material difference between our estimates and assumptions and our actual experience may
adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Fluctuations in the valuation of investment securities or significant fluctuations in investment market prices could
negatively affect our Net financing revenues and results of operations.
Investment market prices, in general, are subject to fluctuation, which may result from perceived changes in the
underlying characteristics of the investment, the relative price of alternative investments, geopolitical conditions, or
general market conditions. Negative fluctuations in the fair value of equity investments and credit losses on available-
for-sale debt securities may adversely affect our Net financing revenues and results of operations. Additionally, the
amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value and
could negatively affect our Net financing revenues and other revenues.
20
A decrease in the residual values of our off-lease vehicles and a higher number of returned lease assets could
negatively affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We are exposed to residual value risk on the disposition of leased vehicles if sales proceeds realized upon the sale of
returned lease assets are not sufficient to cover the residual value that was estimated at lease inception and if the
number of returned lease assets is higher than anticipated. To the extent the estimated end-of-term market value of a
leased vehicle is lower than the residual value established at lease inception, the residual value of the leased vehicle is
adjusted downward resulting in additional depreciation expense over the term of the lease contract so that the carrying
value at lease-end will approximate the estimated end-of-term market value. Among other factors, local, regional and
national economic conditions, new vehicle pricing, new vehicle incentive programs, new vehicle sales, the actual or
perceived quality, safety or reliability of our vehicles, future plans for new Toyota and Lexus product introductions,
competitive actions and behavior, product attributes of popular vehicles, the mix of used vehicle supply, the level of
current used vehicle values and inventory levels, and fuel prices heavily influence used vehicle values and thus the
actual residual value of off-lease vehicles. In addition, disruptions or delays in the used vehicle auction market
resulting from the inability to transport off-lease vehicles to physical auctions or the temporary closure of physical
auctions as a result of government mandated stay-at-home orders have caused an increase in used vehicle inventories
that has caused a decline in used vehicle values and actual residual values, which may worsen if the COVID-19
pandemic continues. Differences between the actual residual values realized on leased vehicles and our estimates of
such values at lease inception could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition, due to
the impact of higher-than-anticipated Depreciation on operating leases recorded in our Consolidated Statements of
Income. Actual return volumes may be higher than expected which can be impacted by higher contractual lease-end
residual values relative to market values, a higher market supply of certain models of used vehicles, new vehicle
incentive programs, and general economic conditions. The return of a higher number of leased vehicles could also
impact the amount of depreciation expense recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Income, which could adversely
affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Refer to Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, “Financial
Condition – Residual Value Risk”, “Financial Condition – Disposition of Off-Lease Vehicles” and “Financial
Condition – Depreciation on Operating Leases” for further discussion of current lease trends.
We are exposed to customer and dealer credit risk, which could negatively affect our results of operations and
financial condition.
Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from the failure of a customer or dealer to meet the terms of any retail, lease or
dealer financing contract with us or otherwise fail to perform as agreed. An increase in credit risk would increase our
provision for credit losses, which would have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
There can be no assurance that our monitoring of credit risk and our efforts to mitigate credit risk are or will be
sufficient to prevent an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
The level of credit risk in our consumer portfolio is influenced primarily by two factors: the total number of contracts
that experience default (“default frequency”) and the amount of loss per occurrence (“loss severity”), which in turn are
influenced by various economic factors, the used vehicle market, purchase quality mix, contract term length, and
operational changes. The used vehicle market is impacted by the supply of, and demand for, used vehicles, interest
rates, inflation, new vehicle incentive programs, the manufacturer’s actual or perceived reputation for quality, safety,
and reliability, and the general economic outlook.
The level of credit risk in our dealer portfolio is influenced primarily by the financial strength of dealers within our
portfolio, dealer concentration, collateral quality, and other economic factors. The financial strength of dealers within
our portfolio is influenced by general macroeconomic conditions, the overall demand for new and used vehicles, and
the financial condition of automotive manufacturers, among other factors.
Economic slowdown and recession in the U.S., natural disasters, health epidemics, and other factors increase the risk
that a customer or dealer may not meet the terms of a retail, lease or dealer financing contract with us or may
otherwise fail to perform as agreed. A weak economic environment evidenced by, among other things,
unemployment, underemployment, and consumer bankruptcy filings, may affect some of our customers’ and dealers’
ability to make their scheduled payments.
21
Our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates,
foreign currency exchange rates and market prices.
Market risk is the risk that changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates cause volatility in our results
of operations, financial condition and cash flows. An increase in interest rates could have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations by increasing our cost of capital and the rates we charge to our
customers and dealers, which could, in turn, decrease our financing volumes and market share, thereby resulting in a
decline in our competitive position. We use various derivative instruments to manage our market risk. However,
changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and market prices cannot always be predicted or hedged. In
July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”),
announced that it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after calendar year
2021. It is not possible to predict whether LIBOR will cease to exist after calendar year 2021, whether additional
reforms to LIBOR may be enacted, or whether the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or other alternative
reference rates will gain market acceptance, and any of these outcomes could increase our interest rate risk related to
our dealer financing activities, derivative contracts, secured and unsecured debt, and investment securities currently
tied to LIBOR. Changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates could affect our interest expense and the
value of our derivatives, which could result in volatility in our results of operations, financial condition, and cash
flows.
The failure or commercial soundness of our counterparties and other financial institutions may have an effect on
our liquidity, results of operations or financial condition.
We have exposure to many different financial institutions, and we routinely execute transactions with counterparties in
the financial industry. Our debt, derivative and investment transactions, and our ability to borrow under committed
and uncommitted credit facilities, could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of other
financial institutions. We cannot guarantee that our ability to borrow under committed and uncommitted credit
facilities will continue to be available on reasonable terms or at all. Deterioration of social, political, labor, or
economic conditions in a specific country or region may also adversely affect the ability of financial institutions,
including our derivative counterparties and lenders, to perform their contractual obligations. Financial institutions are
interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, lending and other relationships, and as a result, financial and political
difficulties in one country or region may adversely affect financial institutions in other jurisdictions, including those
with which we have relationships. The failure of any financial institutions and other counterparties to which we have
exposure, directly or indirectly, to perform their contractual obligations, and any losses resulting from that failure, may
materially and adversely affect our liquidity, results of operations or financial condition.
Our insurance operations could suffer losses if our reserves are insufficient to absorb actual losses.
Our insurance operations are subject to the risk of loss if our reserves for unearned premium and contract revenues on
agreements in force are not sufficient. Using historical loss experience as a basis for recognizing revenue over the
term of the contract or policy may result in the timing of revenue recognition varying materially from the actual loss
development. Our insurance operations are also subject to the risk of loss if our reserves for reported losses, losses
incurred but not reported, and loss adjustment expenses are not sufficient. Because we use estimates in establishing
reserves, actual losses may vary from amounts established in earlier periods as a result of changes in frequency and
severity.
We are exposed to risk transfer credit risk which could negatively impact our insurance operations.
Risk transfer credit risk is the risk that a reinsurer or other company assuming liabilities relating to our insurance
operations will be unable to meet its obligations under the terms of our agreement with them. Such failure could result
in losses to our insurance operations.
22
Regulatory, Legal and Other Risks
Changes in accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) could adversely
affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our accounting and financial reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., which
are periodically revised and/or expanded. The application of accounting principles is also subject to varying
interpretations over time. Accordingly, we are required to adopt new or revised accounting standards or comply with
revised interpretations that are issued from time to time by various parties, including accounting standard setters and
those who interpret the standards, such as the FASB and the SEC and our independent registered public accounting
firm. The FASB has proposed new financial accounting standards that may result in significant changes that could
adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Refer to Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for further discussion of these new accounting standards, including the potential impact to TMCC’s
consolidated financial statements.
A failure or interruption of our information systems could adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
We rely on internal and third party information and technological systems to manage our operations, which creates
meaningful operational risk for us. Any failure or interruption of our information systems or the third party
information systems on which we rely as a result of inadequate or failed processes or systems, human errors, employee
misconduct, catastrophic events, external or internal security breaches, acts of vandalism, computer viruses, malware,
ransomware, misplaced or lost data, or other events could disrupt our normal operating procedures, damage our
reputation and have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, we periodically upgrade or replace our existing transaction systems, which could have a significant impact
on our ability to conduct our core business operations and increase our risk of loss resulting from disruptions of
normal operating processes and procedures that may occur during and after the implementation of new systems. For
example, the development and implementation of these new systems and any future upgrades related thereto may
require significant expenditures and divert management’s attention and other resources from our core business
operations. There are no assurances that these new systems will provide us with the anticipated benefits and
efficiencies. There can also be no assurance that the time and resources our management will need to devote to
implementation and upgrades, potential delays in the implementation or upgrade or any resulting service interruptions,
or any impact on the reliability of our data from any upgrade of our legacy system, will not have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
A security breach or a cyber-attack could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
We collect and store certain personal and financial information from customers, employees, and other third
parties. Security breaches or cyber-attacks involving our systems or facilities, or the systems or facilities of our
service providers, could expose us to a risk of loss of personally identifiable information of customers, employees and
third parties or other confidential, proprietary or competitively sensitive information, business interruptions, regulatory
scrutiny, actions and penalties, litigation, reputational harm, a loss of confidence, and other financial and non-financial
costs, all of which could potentially have an adverse impact on our future business with current and potential
customers, results of operations and financial condition.
We rely on encryption and other information security technologies licensed from third parties to provide security
controls necessary to help in securing online transmission of confidential information pertaining to customers,
employees and other aspects of our business. Advances in information system capabilities, new discoveries in the
field of cryptography or other events or developments may result in a compromise or breach of the technology that we
use to protect sensitive data. A party who is able to circumvent our security measures by methods such as hacking,
fraud, trickery or other forms of deception could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruption in our
operations. We may be required to expend capital and other resources to protect against such security breaches or
cyber-attacks or to remediate problems caused by such breaches or attacks. Our security measures are designed to
protect against security breaches and cyber-attacks, but our failure to prevent such security breaches and cyber-attacks
could subject us to liability, decrease our profitability and damage our reputation. Even if a failure of, or interruption
in, our systems or facilities is resolved timely or an attempted cyber incident or other security breach is successfully
avoided or thwarted, it may require us to expend substantial resources or to take actions that could adversely affect
customer satisfaction or behavior and expose us to reputational harm.
23
We could also be subjected to cyber-attacks that could result in slow performance and loss or temporary unavailability
of our information systems. Information security risks have increased because of new technologies, the use of the
internet and telecommunications technologies (including mobile devices) to conduct financial and other business
transactions, and the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, perpetrators of fraud, hackers,
terrorists, and others. We may not be able to anticipate or implement effective preventative measures against all
security breaches of these types, especially because the techniques used change frequently and because attacks can
originate from a wide variety of sources. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our enterprise data practices, including the collection, use, sharing, disposal and security of personally identifiable
and financial information of our customers and employees are subject to increasingly complex, restrictive, and
punitive laws and regulations which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
Under these laws and regulations, the failure to maintain compliant data practices could result in consumer complaints,
lawsuits and regulatory inquiry, resulting in civil or criminal penalties, as well as brand impact or other harm to our
business. In addition, increased consumer sensitivity to real or perceived failures in maintaining acceptable data
practices could damage our reputation and deter current and potential customers from using our products and
services. For example, recent, well-publicized allegations involving the misuse or inappropriate sharing of personal
information have led to expanded governmental scrutiny of practices relating to the safeguarding of personal
information and the use or sharing of personal data by companies in the U.S. and other countries. That scrutiny has in
some cases resulted in, and could in the future lead to, the adoption of stricter laws and regulations relating to the use
and sharing of personal information. For example, in California a new data protection regime has taken effect, that
grants consumers broad new rights relating to access to, deletion of, and sharing of personal information that is
collected by businesses and requiring regulated entities to establish measures to identify, manage, secure, track,
produce and delete personal information. In some jurisdictions, these laws and regulations provide a private right of
action that would allow customers to bring suit directly against us for certain violations of these laws and
regulations. These types of laws and regulations could prohibit or significantly restrict financial services providers
such as TMCC from sharing information among affiliates or with third parties such as vendors, and thereby increase
compliance costs, or could restrict TMCC’s use of personal data when developing or offering products or services to
customers. These restrictions could inhibit TMCC’s development or marketing of certain products or services, or
increase the costs of offering them to customers. Because many of these laws and regulations are new, there is little
clarity as to their interpretation, as well as a lack of precedent for the scope of enforcement. The cost of compliance
with these laws and regulations will be high and is likely to increase in the future. Any failure or perceived failure to
comply with applicable privacy or data protection laws and regulations could result in requirements to modify or cease
certain operations or practices, significant liabilities or fines, penalties or other sanctions.
The regulatory environment in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our business and results
of operations.
Regulatory risk includes risk arising from failure or alleged failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements
and risk of liability and other costs imposed under various laws and regulations, including changes in applicable law,
regulation and regulatory guidance.
Consumer Finance Regulation
As a provider of finance and insurance products, we operate in a highly regulated environment. We are subject to
licensing requirements at the state level, and to laws and regulations, as well as periodic examinations and
investigations at the state and federal levels. Compliance with applicable law is costly and can affect our results of
operations. Compliance requires forms, processes, procedures, controls and the infrastructure to support these
requirements. Compliance may create operational constraints and place limits on pricing, as the laws and regulations
in the financial services industry are designed primarily for the protection of consumers. Changes in laws and
regulations could restrict our ability to operate our business as currently operated, could impose substantial additional
costs or require us to implement new processes, which could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial
performance or financial condition. The failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in
significant statutory civil and criminal fines, penalties, monetary damages, attorney or legal fees and costs, restrictions
on our ability to operate our business, possible revocation of licenses and damage to our reputation, brand and valued
customer relationships. Any such costs, restrictions, revocations or damage could adversely affect our business,
prospects, results of operations or financial condition.
24
Our principal consumer finance regulator at the federal level is the CFPB, which has broad regulatory, supervisory and
enforcement authority over us. The CFPB’s supervisory authority allows it, among other things, to conduct
comprehensive and rigorous examinations to assess our compliance with consumer financial protection laws, which
could result in enforcement actions, regulatory fines and mandated changes to our business products, policies and
procedures.
The CFPB’s rulemaking authority includes the authority to promulgate rules regarding, among other practices, debt
collection practices that would apply to third-party collectors and first-party collectors, such as ourselves, and rules
regarding consumer credit reporting practices. The timing and impact of these rules on our business remain uncertain.
In addition, the CFPB has focused on the area of auto finance, particularly with respect to indirect financing
arrangements, dealer compensation and fair lending compliance, and questioned the value and increased scrutiny of
the marketing and sale of certain ancillary or add-on products, including products similar to those we finance or sell
through TMIS.
The CFPB and FTC may investigate the products, services and operations of credit providers, including banks and
other finance companies engaged in auto finance activities. As a result of such investigations, the CFPB and FTC
have announced various enforcement actions against lenders in the past few years involving significant penalties,
consent orders, cease and desist orders and similar remedies that, if applicable to us or the products, services and
operations we offer, may require us to cease or alter certain business practices, which could have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. Supervision and investigations by these agencies,
if any, may result in monetary penalties, increase our compliance costs, require changes in our business practices,
affect our competitiveness, impair our profitability, harm our reputation or otherwise adversely affect our business.
Refer to Item 1. Business, “Regulatory Environment” for further discussion of the CFPB’s authority and activities.
At the state level, state regulators are taking a more stringent approach to supervising and regulating financial products
and services subject to their jurisdiction. We expect to continue to face greater supervisory scrutiny and enhanced
supervisory requirements for the foreseeable future.
Other Federal Regulation
Under the Volcker Rule companies affiliated with U.S. insured depository institutions are generally prohibited from
engaging in “proprietary trading” and certain transactions with certain privately offered funds. The activities
prohibited by the Volcker Rule are not core activities for us. In the future, however, the federal financial regulatory
agencies charged with implementing the Volcker Rule could change their approach to administering, enforcing or
interpreting the rule, which could negatively affect us and potentially require us to limit or change our activities or
operations.
The Dodd-Frank Act amended the CEA to establish a framework for the regulation of certain OTC derivatives referred
to as swaps. The OTC derivatives provisions of the CEA, as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act, impose clearing,
trading and margin requirements on certain contracts. At present, we qualify for exceptions from these requirements
for the swaps that we enter into to hedge our commercial risks. However, if we were to no longer qualify for such
exceptions, we could become subject to some or all of these requirements, which would increase our cost of entering
into and maintaining such hedging positions.
If we reduce our use of OTC derivatives as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act and resulting regulations, our results of
operations may become more volatile and our cash flows may be less predictable, which could adversely affect our
ability to plan for and fund capital expenditures.
Refer to Item 1. Business, “Regulatory Environment” for additional information on our regulatory environment.
Adverse economic conditions or changes in state laws in states in which we have customer concentrations may
negatively affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We are exposed to geographic customer concentration risk in our retail, lease, dealer, and insurance products in certain
states. Factors adversely affecting the economies and applicable laws in the states where we have concentration risk
could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Refer to Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information and disclosure about customer concentrations in certain states.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
There are no unresolved SEC staff comments to report.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Our headquarters operations are located in Plano, Texas, and our facilities are leased from TMNA.
Additional operations for both finance and insurance are located in three CSCs and field operation locations. The
Central region CSC is located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and is leased from TMNA. The Western region CSC is located
in Chandler, Arizona. The Eastern region CSC is located in Owings Mills, Maryland. To better serve our dealer
partners, we are currently in the process of consolidating field operation locations, which are located in various cities
throughout the U.S., into three new regional dealer service centers. The Central DSC is located in Plano, Texas. The
Western DSC will be located in Chandler, Arizona. The Eastern DSC will be located in Alpharetta, Georgia. Our
dealer lending function is centralized at the Central DSC. We also have a sales and operations office in Puerto Rico.
All premises are occupied under lease.
We believe that our properties are suitable to meet the current requirements of our business. Refer to Item 1.
Business, “General” for further discussion of the field operations restructuring.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
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. In addition, we are subject to governmental and regulatory examinations, information-gathering requests,
and investigations from time to time at the state and federal levels. It is inherently difficult to predict the course of
such legal actions and governmental inquiries. 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.
When we are able, we also determine estimates of reasonably probable loss or range of loss, whether in excess of any
related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability. Refer to Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Given the inherent uncertainty associated with legal matters, the
actual costs of resolving legal claims and associated costs of defense may be substantially higher or lower than the
amounts for which accruals have been established. Based on available information and established accruals, we do not
believe it is reasonably probable that the results of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have
a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

OVERVIEW
Key Performance Indicators and Factors Affecting Our Business
In our finance operations, we generate revenue, income, and cash flows by providing retail, lease, and dealer financing
to dealers and their customers. We measure the performance of our finance operations using the following metrics:
financing volume, market share, financing margins, operating and administrative expense, residual value and credit
loss metrics.
In our insurance operations, we generate revenue primarily through marketing, underwriting, and providing claims
administration for products that cover certain risks of dealers and their customers. We measure the performance of our
insurance operations using the following metrics: issued agreement volume, average 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, Toyota and Lexus sales volume, new vehicle incentive programs, consumer behavior,
employment levels, 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 the dealers we
finance, and competitive pressure. Our financial results may also be affected by the regulatory environment in which
we operate, including as a result of new legislation or changes in regulation and any compliance costs or changes we
may be required to make to our business practices. All of these factors can influence consumer contract and dealer
financing volume, the number of consumer contracts and dealers that default and the loss per occurrence, our inability
to realize originally estimated contractual residual values on leased vehicles, the volume and performance of our
insurance operations, and our gross margins on consumer and dealer financing volume. Changes in the volume of
vehicle sales, sales of our insurance and vehicle and payment protection products, or the level of insurance losses
could materially and adversely impact our insurance operations. Additionally, our funding programs and related costs
are influenced by changes in the global capital markets, prevailing interest rates, and our credit ratings and those of our
parent companies, which may affect our ability to obtain cost effective funding to support earning asset growth.
Our primary competitors are other financial institutions including national and regional commercial banks, credit
unions, savings and loan associations, independent insurance service contract providers, online banks, finance
companies and, to a lesser extent, other automobile manufacturers’ affiliated finance companies that actively seek to
purchase consumer contracts through Toyota and Lexus dealers. We strive to achieve the following:
Exceptional Customer Service: Our relationship with Toyota and Lexus dealers and their customers offer us a
competitive advantage. We seek to leverage this opportunity by providing exceptional service to the dealers and
their customers. Through our field operations, we work closely with the dealers to improve the quality of
service we provide to them. We also focus on assisting the dealers with the quality of their customer service
operations to enhance customer loyalty for the dealers and the Toyota and Lexus brands. By providing
consistent and reliable support, training, and resources to our dealer network, we continue to develop and
improve our dealer relationships. In addition to marketing programs targeted toward customer retention, we
work closely with TMNA and other third party distributors to offer special retail, lease, dealer financing, and
insurance programs. We also focus on providing a positive customer experience to existing retail, lease, and
insurance customers through our CSCs.
Risk-Based Origination and Pricing: We price and structure our retail and lease contracts to compensate us for
the credit risk we assume. The objective of this strategy is to maximize operating results and better match
contract rates across a broad range of risk levels. To achieve this objective, we evaluate our existing portfolio
for key opportunities to expand volume in targeted markets. We deliver timely strategic information to the
dealers to assist them in benefiting from market opportunities. We continuously strive to refine our strategy and
methodology for risk-based pricing.
Liquidity: Our liquidity strategy is to maintain the capacity to fund assets and repay liabilities in a timely and
cost-effective manner even in adverse market conditions. This capacity is primarily driven by our ability to raise
funds in the global capital markets and through loans, credit facilities, and other transactions, as well as our
ability to generate liquidity from our earnings assets. Our pursuit of this strategy has led us to develop a
diversified borrowing base that is distributed across a variety of markets, geographies, investors, and financing
structures, among other factors.

Fiscal 2020 Operating Environment
During the first three quarters of fiscal 2020, the U.S. economy expanded, the unemployment rate was at historically
low levels, and consumer confidence was at historically high levels; however, uncertainties surrounding geopolitical
events, trade policy, the future path of U.S. monetary policy, and caution by global central banks continued to impact
the outlook for future economic growth.
Average used vehicle values for Toyota and Lexus vehicles remained relatively consistent for the majority of fiscal
2020 compared to fiscal 2019; and industry-wide vehicle sales and sales incentives in the U.S. were relatively
consistent for the majority of fiscal 2020 as compared to fiscal 2019.
Conditions in the global capital markets were generally stable during the first three quarters of fiscal 2020, despite
intermittent period of volatility caused by uncertainty regarding geopolitical events, trade policy, and the future path of
U.S. monetary policy.
During the last quarter of fiscal 2020, the global outbreak of COVID-19 and the introduction of extraordinary
governmental measures intended to slow its spread, including quarantines, government-mandated actions, stay-at-
home orders and other restrictions, severely curtailed economic activities. These curtailments resulted in a global
economic contraction that negatively impacted our business, and the business of our affiliate, TMNA, and our ultimate
parent, TMC, in a number of ways, in the second half of March 2020 and adversely impacted our fourth quarter and
fiscal 2020 results of operations. Refer to “Recent Developments Related to COVID-19” below for further discussion
of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations.
Despite the economic downturn, which had a negative impact at the end of the fiscal year, and lower levels of
subvention throughout the year, our financing volume increased 8 percent, and our market share increased
approximately 4 percentage points for fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019, as a result of TMNA and TMCC cash
incentive programs and our other competitive rate programs offered throughout fiscal 2020.
Recent Developments Related to COVID-19
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the most notable COVID-19 pandemic impacts on our results of operations
were a higher provision for credit losses and higher depreciation expense due to the sharp decline in economic
conditions and the significant decline in used vehicle values at the end of March 2020. This resulted from higher
probable credit losses on our loan and lease portfolios and lower expected end-of-term market values for our
investment in operating leases. Continuation of higher credit losses for our loan and lease portfolios and lower
expected end-of-term market values for our investment in operating leases is also expected to have an adverse effect
on our future results of operations. Refer to Refer to Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, “Financial Condition” for a further discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic
impact on the provision for credit losses and depreciation expense.
Increasing unemployment levels, lack of consumer credit availability, and reduction in household income during a
period of economic contraction has affected some of our customers’ ability to make their scheduled payments. We are
offering payment relief options to our customers and dealers impacted by COVID-19. Unlike the payment relief
options offered for natural disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and wildfires, which were limited to the
affected geographies, the COVID-19 payment relief options are being offered nationwide, and may not be successful
in reducing future increases to our provision for credit losses. The payment relief options we offered to customers and
dealers included finance contract extensions, lease deferred payments, temporary interest deferrals for dealer floorplan
financing, and principal payment deferral options for dealer real estate and working capital loans. Our payment relief
programs currently allow existing customers to defer their loan or lease payments for up to 120 days and waive certain
fees, but with interest continuing to accrue. We may terminate, or modify the scope, duration and terms of, our
COVID-19 payment relief programs at any time. Accounts with payment extensions and deferrals under our COVID-
19 relief programs are not considered past due. From March 13, 2020 through May 31, 2020, we granted payment
extensions and deferrals to approximately 13% of our retail customers and 11% of our lease customers. For
comparison, from March 13, 2019 through May 31, 2019, TMCC had granted payment extensions and deferrals for
retail and lease customers who requested payment relief to approximately 1% of our retail customers and 0.5% of our
lease customers. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased our expected residual value losses and adversely affected
our business, fourth quarter and fiscal 2020 results of operations, and may continue to do so if there is not a substantial
recovery. We also temporarily suspended outbound collection activities in states with state-wide stay-at-home orders
and repossession activities nationwide for a period of time, but have since resumed outbound collection activities in
nearly all states. Due to the duration of, and number of customers and dealers participating in, our payment relief
programs, we expect that our future results of operations will also be adversely impacted.
33
While industry-wide vehicle sales and sales incentives in the U.S. were relatively consistent for the majority of fiscal
2020 as compared to fiscal 2019 both experienced a significant decline at the end of our fiscal year as a result of the
sharp decline in economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our business is substantially dependent on
upon the sale of Toyota and Lexus vehicles, which declined significantly beginning in the second half of March 2020
and continued into May 2020 as dealers temporarily closed showrooms and adjusted their operations and consumers
adjusted their behavior in response to restrictions designed to slow the spread of COVID-19 and an unprecedented
increase in unemployment claims and a significant decline in consumer confidence and spending. Consistent with the
decline in Toyota and Lexus vehicle sales, we experienced significant declines of approximately 38% in financing
volume and 45% in the number of insurance agreements issuances from April 1, 2020 through May 31, 2020
compared to April 1, 2019 through May 31, 2019. We expect that these trends will continue to have an adverse effect
on our results of operations. To mitigate these trends, dealers have increased their utilization of online sales channels
and we have partnered with TMNA to offer competitive incentive programs, including first payment deferred 90 days
on select Toyota and Lexus models. A sustained decline in vehicle sales, could have a material adverse effect on the
sale of our financing and insurance products, dealer profitability and creditworthiness, and our future results of
operations.
During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, capital markets experienced significant disruption and volatility as a result
of the COVID-19 pandemic. While our ability to access the capital markets remains largely intact, our funding
spreads have increased across both short-term and long-term markets and our long-term credit ratings have been
downgraded or put on negative outlook and may be subject in the future to further actions or downgrades by credit
rating agencies. For liquidity purposes, we hold cash in excess of our immediate funding needs. Subsequent to our
fiscal year end, from April 1, 2020 through May 31, 2020 we raised an additional $15.3 billion through the public
secured and unsecured capital markets and private term loan and asset-backed securitization credit markets, excluding
commercial paper issuances. As of May 31, 2020, we maintained excess funds of $22.1 billion. As of May 31, 2020,
we and our co-borrowers had $15.7 billion in committed, undrawn bank credit facilities and we had an additional $4.1
billion in stand-alone committed, undrawn bank credit facilities. Future changes in interest rates in the U.S. and
foreign markets could result in volatility in our interest expense, which could affect our results of operations. For
additional information, refer to our Liquidity and Capital Resources section.
Nearly all of our workforce has been temporarily transitioned to a remote work arrangement to mitigate health risks.
Our remote work arrangements have been designed to allow for continued operation of all business-critical functions.
The length of time we may be required to operate under these circumstances remains uncertain. While we have not
experienced material adverse disruptions to our internal operations, we continue to monitor for evolving risks and
developments. In addition, from March 23, 2020 to May 8, 2020, TMNA suspended production at all of its
automobile and components plants in North America at various times due to the increasing social and economic
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and a significant decline in vehicle demand. Although TMNA and many of its
suppliers are resuming production, unexpected delays affecting the supply chain or logistics network could negatively
impact dealer inventory levels, vehicle sales, the sale of our financing and insurance products, dealer profitability and
creditworthiness, and our future results of operations.
The extension of curtailed economic activities as a result of further outbreak of COVID-19, extended or additional
government restrictions intended to slow the spread of the virus, or delayed consumer response once restrictions have
been lifted could have further negative impact on used vehicle values, consumer economics, dealerships, and auction
sites, which could have a material adverse impact on the future results of operations. If the number of our customers
and dealers experiencing hardship increases or it becomes necessary to further extend our payment relief options, it
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and our future results of operations.
Although the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain, and its ultimate impact on our results of
operations is difficult to predict, it could have material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and our
future results of operations.

Refer to Note 14 – Segment Information of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement for the total asset balances of our
finance and insurance operations.
Fiscal 2020 Compared to Fiscal 2019
Our consolidated net income was $913 million in fiscal 2020, compared to $795 million in fiscal 2019. The increase
in net income for fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019 was primarily due to a $389 million increase in total financing
revenues, an $89 million decrease in depreciation on operating leases, a $71 million decrease in provision for income
taxes, and a $30 million increase in investment and other income, net, partially offset by a $218 million increase in
provision for credit losses, a $176 million increase in operating and administrative expense, and a $87 million increase
in interest expense.
Our overall capital position increased $0.9 billion, bringing total shareholder’s equity to $14.5 billion at March 31,
2020, as compared to $13.6 billion at March 31, 2019. Our debt increased to $97.7 billion at March 31, 2020 from
$92.9 billion at March 31, 2019. Our debt-to-equity ratio decreased to 6.7 at March 31, 2020 from 6.8 at March 31,
2019.
Fiscal 2019 Compared to Fiscal 2018
Our consolidated net income was $795 million in fiscal 2019, compared to $3,410 million in fiscal 2018. The
decrease in net income for fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018 was primarily due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”), which resulted in a one-time tax benefit of $2.9 billion in fiscal 2018. Our net income for
fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018 was favorably impacted by a $923 million increase in total financing revenues, a
$132 million decrease in depreciation on operating leases, and a $35 million increase in investment and other income,
net, partially offset by a $896 million increase in interest expense.
Our overall capital position increased $0.7 billion, bringing total shareholder’s equity to $13.6 billion at March 31,
2019, as compared to $12.9 billion at March 31, 2018. Our debt decreased to $92.9 billion at March 31, 2019 from
$98.4 billion at March 31, 2018. As a result, our debt-to-equity ratio decreased to 6.8 at March 31, 2019 from 7.6 at
March 31, 2018.

Our finance operations reported net income of $684 million and $593 million during fiscal 2020 and 2019,
respectively. The increase in net income from finance operations for fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019 was
primarily due to a $389 million increase in total financing revenues, an $89 million decrease in depreciation on
operating leases, and a $108 million decrease in provision for income taxes, partially offset by $218 million increase
in provision for credit losses, a $159 million increase in operating and administrative expenses, and an $85 million
increase in interest expense.
Financing Revenues
Total financing revenues increased 3 percent during fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019 due to the following:
Operating lease revenues remained relatively unchanged in fiscal 2020 as compared to fiscal 2019.
Retail financing revenues increased 14 percent in fiscal 2020 as compared to fiscal 2019, due to higher
portfolio yields as well as higher average earning asset balances.
Dealer financing revenues decreased 2 percent in fiscal 2020 as compared to fiscal 2019, due to lower
portfolio yields partially offset by higher average earning asset balances outstanding.
As a result of the above, our total portfolio yield, which includes operating lease, retail and dealer financing revenues,
increased to 4.6 percent for fiscal 2020, compared to 4.3 percent for fiscal 2019.
Depreciation on Operating Leases
We recorded depreciation on operating leases of $6,820 million during fiscal 2020 compared to $6,909 million during
fiscal 2019. Throughout most of fiscal 2020 we experienced lower depreciation on operating leases compared to fiscal
2019 due to lower expectations of residual value losses on our more recent originations and lower average operating
units outstanding; however, the economic difficulties in the fourth quarter, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,
resulted in a significant decline in used vehicle values at the end of the quarter and expected end-of-term market
values on our investment in operating leases. As a result, we experienced an increase in depreciation expense of $136
million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019 due to the increase in expected residual value
losses, which for fiscal 2020 substantially offset the decrease in depreciation expense from earlier in the fiscal year.
36
Interest Expense
Our liabilities consist mainly of fixed and variable rate debt, denominated in U.S. dollars and various other currencies,
which we issue in the global capital markets, while our assets consist primarily of U.S. dollar denominated, fixed rate
receivables. We enter into interest rate swaps, interest rate floors and foreign currency swaps to economically hedge
the interest rate and foreign currency risks that result from the different characteristics of our assets and liabilities. The
following table summarizes the components of interest expense:

$
1,851
During fiscal 2020, total interest expense increased to $2,834 million from $2,747 million in fiscal 2019. The increase
is attributable to an increase in interest expense on debt and derivatives combined with lower gains on foreign
currency swaps net of losses on debt denominated in foreign currencies, partially offset by lower losses on U.S. dollar
interest rate swaps.
Interest expense on debt and derivatives primarily represents contractual net interest settlements and changes in
accruals on secured and unsecured notes and loans payable and derivatives, and includes amortization of discounts,
premiums, and debt issuance costs. During fiscal 2020, interest expense on debt and derivatives increased to $2,668
million from $2,506 million in fiscal 2019, primarily due to our interest expense on pay-float swaps being offset to a
lesser degree from income received on pay-fixed swaps as a result of decreases in the weighted average notional of our
pay-fixed derivatives.
Gains or losses on debt denominated in foreign currencies represent the impact of translation adjustments. We use
foreign currency swaps to economically hedge the debt denominated in foreign currencies. During fiscal 2020 and
2019, we recorded net gains of $53 million and $63 million, respectively, primarily as a result of decreases in foreign
currency swap rates across the various currencies in which our debt is denominated.
Gains or losses on U.S. dollar interest rate swaps represent the change in the valuation of interest rate swaps. During
fiscal 2020 and 2019, we recorded losses of $219 million and $304 million, respectively, as losses on our higher
notional, shorter-term pay-fixed swaps exceeded the gains on our longer-term pay-float swaps, primarily as a result of
decreases in U.S. dollar swap rates.
Future changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates could result in significant volatility in our interest
expense, thereby affecting our results of operations.
37
Investment and Other Income, Net
We recorded investment and other income, net of $155 million for fiscal 2020, compared to $188 million for fiscal
2019. The decrease in investment and other income, net for fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019 was primarily due to
a decrease in our average marketable securities portfolio balance.
Provision for Credit Losses
We recorded a provision for credit losses of $590 million for fiscal 2020, compared to $372 million for fiscal 2019.
Throughout most of fiscal 2020, our provision for credit losses was relatively consistent compared to fiscal 2019;
however, the sharp decline in economic conditions in the fourth quarter due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a
significant increase in probable credit losses on both our consumer and dealer portfolios for which $264 million
additional provision for credit losses was recorded.
Operating and Administrative Expenses
We recorded operating and administrative expenses of $1,197 million during fiscal 2020 compared to $1,038 million
during fiscal 2019. The increase in operating and administrative expenses for fiscal 2020, compared to fiscal 2019,
was due to an increase in marketing expenses in an effort to increase brand awareness, as well as increases in
employee, technology, and general operating expenses.

Our insurance operations reported net income of $229 million for fiscal 2020 compared to $202 million for fiscal
2019. The increase in net income from insurance operations for fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019 was primarily due
to a $61 million increase in investment and other income, net, partially offset by a $37 million increase in provision for
income taxes.
Agreements issued increased 5 percent and the number of average in force agreements increased 6 percent during
fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019. The average number of agreements in force has increased due to insurance
portfolio growth in recent years, most notably in tire and wheel protection agreements, guaranteed auto protection
agreements, and prepaid maintenance agreements.
Consistent with the decline in Toyota and Lexus vehicle sales, we experienced a significant decline of approximately
45% in the number of insurance agreement issuances from April 1, 2020 through May 31, 2020 compared to April 1,
2019 through May 31, 2019.
Revenue from Insurance Operations
Our insurance operations reported insurance earned premiums and contract revenues of $933 million for fiscal 2020
compared to $904 million for fiscal 2019. Insurance earned premiums and contract revenues represent revenues from
in force agreements and are affected by issuances as well as the level, age, and mix of in force agreements. Insurance
earned premiums and contract revenues are recognized over the term of the agreements in relation to the timing and
level of anticipated claims. The increase in insurance earned premiums and contract revenues in fiscal 2020 compared
to fiscal 2019 was primarily due to insurance portfolio growth in recent years.
39
Investment and Other Income, Net
Our insurance operations reported investment and other income, net of $187 million for fiscal 2020 compared to $126
million for fiscal 2019. Investment and other income, net, consists primarily of dividend and interest income, realized
gains and losses on investments in marketable securities, changes in fair value from equity investments, and other-than-
temporary impairment on available-for-sale debt securities, if any. The increase in investment and other income, net in
fiscal 2020, compared to fiscal 2019, was primarily due to increased gains from changes in fair value of equity
investments and increased dividend income from our equity investments.
Insurance Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses
Our insurance operations reported insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses of $455 million for fiscal 2020
compared to $446 million for fiscal 2019. Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred are a function of the
amount of covered risks, the frequency and severity of claims associated with in force agreements 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.
The increase in insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses in fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019 was primarily
due to increases in losses in our guaranteed auto protection agreements, tire and wheel protection agreements, and
prepaid maintenance agreements, partially offset by a decrease in losses due to discontinuing the wholesale inventory
insurance program in fiscal 2019. The increase in our guaranteed auto protection losses in fiscal 2020 compared to
fiscal 2019 was due to an increase in the severity of claims. The increase in our tire and wheel protection losses in
fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019 was due to increases in both frequency and severity of claims. The increase in our
prepaid maintenance losses in fiscal 2020 as compared to fiscal 2019 was due to an increase in the frequency of
claims.
Operating and Administrative Expenses
Our insurance operations reported operating and administrative expenses of $364 million for fiscal 2020 compared to
$347 million for fiscal 2019. The increase in operating and administrative expenses in fiscal 2020 as compared to
fiscal 2019 was attributable to higher dealer back-end program expenses as well as higher product expenses driven by
the continued growth of our insurance business. Insurance dealer back-end program expenses are incentives or
expense reduction programs we offer to dealers based on certain performance criteria.
40
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 was 11 percent and 19 percent, respectively. Our overall
provision for income taxes for fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 was $111 million and $182 million, respectively. The
decrease in the effective tax rate and provision for income taxes for fiscal 2020, compared to fiscal 2019, is primarily
due to the favorable rate differential by carrying back fiscal 2019 federal net operating loss to an earlier tax year under
the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The decrease in the effective tax rate also reflects
state tax law changes taking effect during fiscal year 2020, as well as the tax benefit from the federal tax credit for fuel
cell vehicles which was extended by the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2019 (H.R. 1865) in
December 2019 and applies retroactively to fuel cell vehicles purchased on or after January 1, 2018.

Total financing volume was comprised of approximately 79 percent Toyota, 17 percent Lexus, and 4 percent non-Toyota/Lexus
for fiscal 2020. Total financing volume was comprised of approximately 80 percent Toyota, 17 percent Lexus and 3 percent non-
Toyota/Lexus for both fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018.
2
Represents the percentage of total domestic TMNA sales of new Toyota and Lexus vehicles financed by us, excluding sales
under dealer rental car and commercial fleet programs and sales of a private Toyota distributor.
Vehicle Financing Volume
The volume of our retail and lease contracts, which are acquired primarily from Toyota and Lexus dealers, is
substantially dependent upon TMNA new sales volume, the level of TMNA sponsored subvention and other incentive
programs, as well as TMCC competitive rate and other incentive programs. Despite the economic downturn, which
had a negative impact at the end of the fiscal year, and lower levels of subvention throughout the year, our financing
volume increased 8 percent and our market share increased approximately 4 percentage points in fiscal 2020,
respectively, compared to fiscal 2019, as a result of TMNA and TMCC cash incentive programs and other competitive
rate programs offered throughout fiscal 2020.
While industry-wide vehicle sales and sales incentives in the U.S. were relatively consistent for the majority of fiscal
2020 as compared to fiscal 2019 both experienced a significant decline at the end of our fiscal year as a result of the
sharp decline in economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our business is substantially dependent
upon the sale of Toyota and Lexus vehicles, which declined significantly beginning in the second half of March 2020
and continued into May 2020 as dealers temporarily closed showrooms and adjusted their operations, and consumers
adjusted their behavior in response to restrictions designed to slow the spread of COVID-19, an unprecedented level of
unemployment claims and a significant decline in consumer confidence and spending. Consistent with the decline in
Toyota and Lexus vehicle sales, we experienced a significant decline of approximately 38% in financing volume from
April 1, 2020 through May 31, 2020 compared to April 1, 2019 through May 31, 2019. We expect that these trends
will continue to have an adverse effect on our results of operations. To mitigate these trends, dealers have increased
their utilization of online sales channels and we have partnered with TMNA to offer competitive incentive programs,
including first payment deferred 90 days on select Toyota and Lexus models. A sustained decline in vehicle sales,
could have a material adverse effect on the sale of our financing and insurance products, dealer profitability and
creditworthiness, and our future results of operations.

Retail Contract Volume and Earning Assets
Despite the economic downturn, which had a negative impact at the end of the fiscal year, and lower levels of
subvention throughout the year, our new retail contract volume increased 11 percent during fiscal 2020 compared to
fiscal 2019 as a result of TMNA and TMCC cash incentive programs and other competitive rate programs offered
throughout fiscal 2020. Our retail finance receivables, net increased 6 percent at March 31, 2020 as compared to
March 31, 2019 as a result of an increase in retail contract volume and in the average amount financed.
Lease Contract Volume and Earning Assets
Our lease contract volume decreased 6 percent, compared to fiscal 2019 primarily due to lower levels of subvention.
Our investments in operating leases, net, decreased 4 percent at March 31, 2020 as compared to March 31, 2019, due
to decreased lease contract volume.
Dealer Financing and Earning Assets
Dealer financing, net remained relatively unchanged at March 31, 2020, as compared to March 31, 2019, as an
increase in working capital loans was largely offset by decreases in dealer inventory outstanding.
43
Residual Value Risk
We are exposed to risk on the disposition of leased vehicles to the extent that sales proceeds realized upon the sale of
returned lease vehicles are not sufficient to cover the residual value that was estimated at lease inception.
Factors Affecting Exposure to Residual Value Risk
Residual value represents an estimate of the end-of-term market value of a leased vehicle. 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
depreciation expense and lease return rates. Higher average operating lease units outstanding and the resulting
increase in future maturities, a higher supply of used vehicles, as well as further deterioration in actual and expected
used vehicle values for Toyota and Lexus vehicles could unfavorably impact return rates, residual values, and
depreciation expense. The evaluation of these factors involves significant assumptions, complex analyses, and
management judgment. Refer to “Critical Accounting Estimates” for further discussion of the estimates involved in
the determination of accumulated depreciation on investments in operating leases.
Residual Values at Lease Inception
Residual values of lease vehicles are estimated at lease inception by examining external industry data, the anticipated
Toyota and Lexus product pipeline and our own experience. Factors considered in this evaluation include,
macroeconomic forecasts, historical portfolio trends, new vehicle pricing, new vehicle incentive programs, new
vehicle sales, product attributes of popular vehicles, the mix and level of used vehicle supply, current and projected
used vehicle values, the actual or perceived quality, safety or reliability of Toyota and Lexus vehicles, and fuel prices.
We use various channels to sell vehicles returned at lease-end. Refer to Part 1, Item 1. Business, “Finance Operations
– Retail and Lease Financing – Remarketing” for additional information on remarketing.
End-of-term Market Values
On a quarterly basis, we review the estimated end-of-term market values of leased vehicles to assess the
appropriateness of our carrying values. To the extent the estimated end-of-term market value of a leased vehicle is
lower than the residual value established at lease inception, the 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. Factors
affecting the estimated end-of-term market value are similar to those considered in the evaluation of residual values at
lease inception discussed above. These factors are evaluated in the context of their historical trends to anticipate
potential changes in the relationship among these factors in the future. For investments in operating leases,
adjustments are made on a straight-line basis over the remaining terms of the lease contracts and are included in
Depreciation on operating leases in our Consolidated Statements of Income as a change in accounting estimate.
Lease Return Rate
The lease return rate represents the number of leased vehicles returned to us for sale as a percentage of lease contracts
that were originally scheduled to mature in the same period less certain qualified early terminations. When the market
value of a leased vehicle at contract maturity is less than its contractual residual value (i.e., the price at which the lease
customer or dealer may purchase the leased vehicle), there is a higher probability that the vehicle will be returned to
us. In addition, a higher market supply of certain models of used vehicles generally results in a lower market value for
those vehicles, resulting in a higher probability that the vehicle will be returned to us. A higher rate of vehicle returns
exposes us to greater residual value risk which impacts depreciation expense at lease termination.
Impairment of Operating Leases
We evaluate our investment in operating leases portfolio for potential impairment when we determine a triggering
event has occurred. When a triggering event has occurred, we perform a test of recoverability by comparing the
expected undiscounted future cash flows (including expected residual values) over the remaining lease terms to the
carrying value of the asset group. If the test of recoverability identifies a possible impairment, the asset group’s fair
value is measured in accordance with the fair value measurement framework. An impairment charge is recognized for
the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeds its estimated fair value and would be recorded in
our Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 and during the years then ended, there
was no impairment in our investment in operating leases portfolio.

Scheduled maturities decreased 3 percent in fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019. Despite the decreases in scheduled
maturities, vehicles sold at lease termination increased 3 percent in fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019, primarily due
to a reduction in inventory of off-lease vehicles. Refer to Part 1, Item 1. Business, “Finance Operations – Retail and
Lease Financing - Remarketing” for additional information on disposal of lease vehicles.
Depreciation on Operating Leases
Depreciation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is based upon the depreciable basis of
the leased vehicle. The depreciable basis is originally established as the difference between a leased vehicle’s original
acquisition cost and its residual value established at lease inception. Changes to residual values have an effect on
depreciation expense. To the extent the estimated end-of-term market value of a leased vehicle is lower than the
residual value established at lease inception, the 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. Refer to “Critical Accounting
Estimates” for a further discussion of the assumptions involved in the determination of residual values.

We recorded depreciation expense on operating leases of $6,820 million for fiscal 2020, compared to $6,909 million
for fiscal 2019. Throughout most of fiscal 2020, we experienced lower depreciation on operating leases compared to
fiscal 2019 due to lower expectations of residual value losses on our more recent originations and lower average
operating units outstanding; however, the economic difficulties in the fourth quarter, as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic, resulted in a significant decline in used vehicle values at the end of the quarter and estimated end-of-term
market values on our operating leases. As a result, we experienced an increase in depreciation expense of $136
million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019 due to the increase in expected residual value
losses, which for fiscal 2020 substantially offset the lower depreciation expense from earlier in the fiscal year.
45
Credit Risk
We are exposed to credit risk on our consumer and dealer portfolios. Credit risk on our earning assets is the risk of
loss arising from the failure of consumers or dealers to make contractual payments. The level of credit risk on our
consumer portfolio is influenced by two factors: default frequency and loss severity, which in turn are influenced by
various factors such as economic conditions, the used vehicle market, purchase quality mix, and operational changes.
The level of credit risk on our dealer portfolio is influenced by the financial strength of dealers within our portfolio,
dealer concentration, collateral quality, and other economic factors. The financial strength of dealers within our
portfolio is influenced by, among other factors, general economic conditions, the overall demand for new and used
vehicles and the financial condition of automotive manufacturers in general.
Factors Affecting Consumer Portfolio Credit Risk
Economic Factors
General economic conditions such as changes in unemployment rates, housing values, bankruptcy rates, consumer
debt levels, fuel prices, consumer credit performance, interest rates, inflation, household disposable income and
unforeseen events such as natural disasters or health epidemics, among other factors, can influence both default
frequency and loss severity.
Used Vehicle Market
Changes in used vehicle values directly affect the proceeds from sales of repossessed vehicles, and accordingly, the
level of loss severity we experience. The supply of, and demand for, used vehicles, interest rates, inflation, the level of
manufacturer incentive programs on new vehicles, the manufacturer’s actual or perceived reputation for quality,
safety, or reliability, and general economic outlook are some of the factors affecting the used vehicle market.
Purchase Quality Mix
A change in the mix of contracts acquired at various risk levels may change the amount of credit risk we assume. An
increase in the number of contracts acquired with lower credit quality (as measured by scores that establish a
consumer’s creditworthiness based on present financial condition, experience, and credit history) can increase the
amount of credit risk. Conversely, an increase in the number of contracts with higher credit quality can lower credit
risk. An increase in the mix of contracts with lower credit quality can also increase operational risk unless appropriate
controls and procedures are established. We strive to price contracts to achieve an appropriate risk adjusted return on
our investment.
The average original contract term of retail and lease contracts influences credit losses. Longer term contracts
generally experience a higher rate of default and thus affect default frequency. In addition, the carrying values of
vehicles under longer term contracts decline at a slower rate, resulting in a longer period during which we may be
subject to used vehicle market volatility, which may in turn lead to increased loss severity.
The types and models of the vehicles in our retail and lease portfolios have an effect on loss severity. Vehicle product
mix can be influenced by factors such as customer preferences, fuel efficiency and fuel prices. These factors impact
the demand for and values of used vehicles and consequently, loss severity.
Operational Changes
Operational changes and ongoing implementation of new information and transaction systems and improved methods
of consumer evaluation are designed to have a positive effect on the credit risk profile of our consumer portfolio.
Customer service improvements in the management of delinquencies and credit losses increase operational efficiency
and effectiveness. We remain focused on our service operations and credit loss mitigation methods.
In an effort to mitigate credit losses, we regularly evaluate our purchasing practices. We limit our risk exposure by
limiting approvals of lower credit quality contracts and requiring certain loan-to-value ratios.
We continue to refine our credit risk management and analysis to ensure that the appropriate level of collection
resources are aligned with portfolio risk, and we adjust capacity accordingly. We continue to focus on early and late
stage delinquencies to increase the likelihood of resolution. We have also increased efficiency in our collections
through the use of technology.
46
Factors Affecting Dealer Portfolio Credit Risk
The financial strength of dealers to which we extend credit directly affects our credit risk. Lending to dealers with
lower credit quality, or a negative change in the credit quality of existing dealers, increases the risk of credit loss we
assume. Extending a substantial amount of financing or commitments to a specific dealer or group of dealers creates a
concentration of credit risk, particularly when the financing may not be secured by fully realizable collateral assets.
Collateral quality influences credit risk in that lower quality collateral increases the risk that in the event of default and
subsequent liquidation of collateral, the value of the collateral may be less than the amount owed to us.
We assign risk classifications to each of our dealers and dealer groups based on their financial condition, the strength
of the collateral, and other quantitative and qualitative factors including input from our field personnel. Our
monitoring processes of the dealers and dealer groups are based on these risk classifications. We periodically update
the risk classifications based on changes in financial condition. As part of our monitoring processes, we may require
dealers to submit periodic financial statements. We also perform periodic physical audits of vehicle inventory as well
as monitor the timeliness of dealer inventory financing payoffs in accordance with the agreed-upon terms in order to
identify possible risks. We continue to enhance our risk management processes to mitigate dealer portfolio risk and to
focus on higher risk dealers through enhanced risk governance, inventory audits, and credit watch processes. Where
appropriate, we increase the frequency of our audits and examine more closely the financial condition of the dealer or
dealer group. We continue to be diligent in underwriting dealers and have conducted targeted personnel training to
address dealer credit risk.
Dealer portfolio credit risk is mitigated by a repurchase agreement between TMCC and TMNA. Pursuant to this
agreement, TMNA will arrange for the repurchase of new Toyota and Lexus vehicles at the aggregate cost financed by
TMCC in the event of a dealer default under wholesale financing. In addition, we provide other types of financing to
certain Toyota and Lexus dealers and other third parties at the request of TMNA or private Toyota distributors, and the
credit risk associated with such financing is mitigated by guarantees from TMNA or the applicable private distributors.
We also provide financing for some dealerships which sell products not distributed by TMNA or any of its affiliates.
A significant adverse change in a non-Toyota/Lexus manufacturer such as restructuring and bankruptcy may increase
the risk associated with the dealers we have financed that sell these products.
47
Credit Loss Experience
Our credit loss experience may be affected by a number of factors including the economic environment, our
purchasing, servicing, and collections practices, used vehicle market conditions and subvention. Changes in the
economy that impact the consumer such as increasing interest rates, and a rise in the unemployment rate as well as
higher debt balances, coupled with deterioration in actual and expected used vehicle values, could increase our credit
losses. In addition, a decline in the effectiveness of our collection practices could also increase our credit losses. We
continuously evaluate and refine our purchasing practices and collection efforts to minimize risk. In addition,
subvention contributes to our overall portfolio quality, as subvened contracts typically have higher credit scores than
non-subvened contracts. For information regarding the potential impact of current market conditions, refer to Part I.

The level of credit losses primarily reflects two factors: default frequency and loss severity. Net charge-offs as a
percentage of average gross earning assets remained relatively unchanged at 0.34 percent at both March 31, 2020 and
March 31, 2019. Default frequency as a percentage of outstanding contracts decreased to 1.22 percent for fiscal 2020
compared to 1.45 percent for fiscal 2019, primarily due to a continued focus on late stage collection activities. During
fiscal 2020, we implemented new strategies in an effort to optimize insurance collections that required additional time
and effort to analyze and process vehicle total loss accounts. Implementation of the new strategies temporarily
increased our delinquency rates and impacted our default frequency and average loss severity. Our average loss
severity for fiscal 2020 increased to $7,859 from $7,281 in fiscal 2019 primarily due to the new strategies discussed
above as well as higher average amounts financed. Our aggregate balances for accounts 60 or more days past due
increased to 0.39 percent for fiscal 2020 compared to 0.31 percent for fiscal 2019 primarily as a result of the new
strategies discussed above.
48
Allowance for Credit Losses
We maintain an allowance for credit losses to cover probable and estimable losses as of the balance sheet date
resulting from the non-performance of our customers and dealers under their contractual obligations. The
determination of the allowance for credit losses involves significant assumptions, complex analyses, and management
judgment. Refer to “Critical Accounting Estimates” for further discussion of the estimates involved in determining the
allowance for credit losses.
The allowance for credit losses for our consumer portfolio 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
used vehicle market conditions, economic conditions, unemployment rates, purchase quality mix, and operational
factors. This process, along with management judgment, is used to establish the allowance for credit losses to cover
probable and estimable losses incurred as of the balance sheet date. Movement in any of these factors would cause
changes in estimated probable losses.
The allowance for credit losses for our dealer portfolio is established by aggregating dealer financing receivables into
loan-risk pools, which are determined based on the risk characteristics of the loan (e.g. secured by vehicles, real estate
or dealership assets). We analyze the loan-risk pools using internally developed risk ratings for each dealer. In
addition, we have established procedures that focus on managing high risk loans in our dealer portfolio. Our field
operations management and special assets group are consulted each quarter to determine if any specific dealer loan is
considered impaired. If impaired loans are identified, specific reserves are established, as appropriate, and the loan is
removed from the loan-risk pool for separate monitoring. This process, along with management judgment, is used to
establish the allowance for credit losses to cover probable and estimable losses incurred as of the balance sheet date.
Movement in any of these factors would cause changes in estimated probable losses.

Our allowance for credit losses increased $215 million from $602 million at March 31, 2019 to $817 million at March
31, 2020. The total allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross earning assets was 0.73 percent for fiscal
2020, compared to 0.55 percent in fiscal 2019. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross earning assets
for finance receivables increased to 0.97 percent in fiscal 2020 from 0.70 percent in fiscal 2019. The increase in the
allowance is primarily due to higher probable credit losses on our retail consumer and dealer portfolios of $233 million
as of March 31, 2020 as a result of the economic impact of COVID-19 in March 2020. The allowance for credit losses
as a percentage of gross earning assets for operating leases decreased to 0.25 percent in fiscal 2020 from 0.27 percent
in fiscal 2019 due to lower credit loss experience; however, the decrease in credit loss experience was partially offset
by an increase in probable credit losses on the lease portfolio of $31 million as of March 31, 2020 as a result of the
economic impact of COVID-19. A sustained economic slowdown as a result of COVID-19 with continued high levels
of unemployment and a decline in consumer confidence and spending, or future changes in the economy that impact
the consumer such as increasing interest rates, a rise in the unemployment rate as well as higher debt balances, coupled
with deterioration in actual and expected used vehicle values, could result in further increases to our allowance for
credit losses. In addition, a decline in the effectiveness of our collection practices, as a result of government
restrictions enacted as a result of COVID-19 or otherwise, could also increase our allowance for credit losses.

Liquidity risk is the risk relating to our ability to meet our financial obligations when they come due. 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 earning assets. This
strategy has led us to develop a diversified borrowing base that is distributed across a variety of markets, geographies,
investors, and financing structures.
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 developing and maintaining direct relationships with commercial paper investors and wholesale market funding
providers, and maintaining the ability to sell certain assets when and if conditions warrant.
We develop and maintain contingency funding plans and regularly evaluate our liquidity position under various
operating circumstances, allowing us to assess how 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 maintain broad access to a variety of domestic and global markets 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. 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 as well as certain available-for-
sale debt securities, 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 $2.4 billion to $8.8 billion with an average balance of
$5.4 billion during fiscal 2020. The amount of excess funds we hold may fluctuate, depending on market conditions
and other factors.
During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, and subsequent to our fiscal year-end, capital markets experienced
significant disruption and volatility as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. While our ability to access the capital
markets remains largely intact, our funding spreads have increased across both short-term and long-term markets and
our long-term credit ratings have been downgraded or put on negative outlook and may be subject in the future to
further actions or downgrades by credit rating agencies. For liquidity purposes, we hold cash in excess of our
immediate funding needs. Subsequent to our fiscal year end, from April 1, 2020 through May 31, 2020, we raised an
additional $15.3 billion through the public secured and unsecured capital markets and private term loan and asset-
backed securitization credit markets, excluding commercial paper issuances. As of May 31, 2020, we maintained
excess funds of $22.1 billion. As of May 31, 2020, we and our co-borrowers had $15.7 billion in committed, undrawn
bank credit facilities and we had $4.1 billion in stand-alone committed, undrawn bank credit facilities. We also have
access to liquidity under a $5.0 billion credit facility with TMS, which as of March 31, 2020 was drawn upon for the
principal amount of $3.0 billion and is further described in Note 7 – Debt and Credit Facilities of the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe we have sufficient capacity to meet our short-term funding
requirements and manage our liquidity.
Credit support is provided to us by our indirect parent TFSC, and, in turn, to TFSC by TMC. Taken together, these
credit support agreements provide 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 a guarantee
by TMC or TFSC of any securities or obligations of TFSC or TMCC, respectively. The fees paid pursuant to these
agreements are disclosed in Note 12 – Related Party Transactions of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
TMC’s obligations under its credit support agreement with TFSC rank pari passu with TMC’s senior unsecured debt
obligations. Refer to Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “Our borrowing costs and access to the unsecured debt capital
markets depend significantly on the credit ratings of TMCC and its parent companies and our credit support
arrangements” for further discussion.
50
We routinely monitor global financial conditions and our financial exposure to our global counterparties, particularly
in those countries experiencing significant economic, fiscal or political strain, and the corresponding likelihood of
default. We do not currently have exposure to sovereign counterparties in countries experiencing significant
economic, fiscal or political strain or any other sovereign counterparties. Refer to the “Liquidity and Capital
Resources - Credit Facilities and Letters of Credit” section and Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “The failure or
commercial soundness of our counterparties and other financial institutions may have an effect on our liquidity, results
of operations or financial condition” for further discussion.

Changes in Commercial paper are shown net in fiscal 2020 due to its short duration within Issuances.
Commercial paper
Short-term funding needs are met through the issuance of commercial paper in the U.S. Amounts outstanding under
our commercial paper programs ranged from approximately $24.7 billion to $28.7 billion during fiscal 2020, with an
average outstanding balance of $26.7 billion. Our commercial paper programs are supported by the credit facilities
discussed under the heading “Credit Facilities and Letters of Credit.” We believe we have sufficient capacity to meet
our short-term funding requirements and manage our liquidity.
MTN program
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,
which allows us to issue under our registration statement an unlimited amount of debt securities during the three year
period ending January 2021. 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 and
cross-default provisions. We are currently in compliance with these covenants.
EMTN program
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 2019, 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 is €50.0 billion, or the equivalent in other currencies, of which €15.3 billion was available for
issuance at May 31, 2020. 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. 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. We are currently in compliance with these covenants.
We may issue other debt securities through the global capital markets or enter into other unsecured financing
arrangements, including those in which we agree to use the proceeds solely to acquire retail or lease contracts
financing new Toyota and Lexus vehicles of specified “green” models. The terms of these “green” bond transactions
are consistent with the terms of other similar transactions except that the proceeds we receive are included in
Restricted cash and cash equivalents in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, when applicable.
Other debt
TMCC has entered into term loan agreements with various banks. These term loan agreements contain covenants and
conditions customary in transactions of this nature, including negative pledge provisions, cross-default provisions and
limitations on certain consolidations, mergers and sales of assets. We are currently in compliance with these
covenants and conditions.
52
We may 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. Amounts borrowed from affiliates are recorded in Other
liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and are therefore excluded from Debt amounts.
Secured notes and loans payable
Asset-backed securitization of our earning asset portfolio provides us with an alternative source of funding. We
regularly execute public or private securitization transactions.

We securitize finance receivables and beneficial interests in investments in operating leases (“Securitized Assets”)
using a variety of structures. Our securitization transactions involve the transfer of Securitized Assets to bankruptcy-
remote special purpose entities. These bankruptcy-remote entities are used to ensure that the Securitized Assets are
isolated from the claims of creditors of TMCC and that the cash flows from these assets are available solely for the
benefit of the investors in these asset-backed securities. Investors in asset-backed securities do not have recourse to
our other assets, and neither TMCC nor our affiliates guarantee these obligations. We are not required to repurchase
or make reallocation payments with respect to the Securitized Assets that become delinquent or default after
securitization. As seller and servicer of the Securitized Assets, we are required to repurchase or make a reallocation
payment with respect to the underlying assets that are subsequently discovered not to have met specified eligibility
requirements. This repurchase obligation is customary in securitization transactions. With the exception of our
revolving asset-backed securitization program, funding obtained from our securitization transactions is repaid as the
underlying Securitized Assets amortize.
We service the Securitized Assets in accordance with our customary servicing practices and procedures. Our servicing
duties include collecting payments on Securitized Assets and submitting them to a trustee for distribution to security
holders and other interest holders. We prepare monthly servicer certificates on the performance of the Securitized
Assets, including collections, investor distributions, delinquencies, and credit losses. We also perform administrative
services for the special purpose entities.
Our use of special purpose entities in securitizations is consistent with conventional practice in the securitization
market. None of our officers, directors, or employees hold any equity interests or receive 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 security holders, other interest holders and certain service providers
as required under the terms of the transactions.
53
Our securitizations are structured to provide credit enhancement to reduce the risk of loss to security holders and other
interest holders in the asset-backed securities. Credit enhancement may include some or all of the following:
Overcollateralization: The principal of the Securitized Assets that exceeds the principal amount of the
related secured debt.
Excess spread: The expected interest collections on the Securitized Assets that exceed the expected fees
and expenses of the special purpose entity, including the interest payable on the debt, 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 a segregated reserve fund and may be used to pay principal and interest to
security holders and other interest holders if collections on the underlying receivables are insufficient.
Yield supplement arrangements: Additional overcollateralization may be provided to supplement the
future contractual interest payments from securitized receivables with relatively low contractual interest
rates.
Subordinated notes: The subordination of principal and interest payments on subordinated notes may
provide additional credit enhancement to holders of senior notes.
In addition to the credit enhancement described above, we may enter into interest rate swaps with our special purpose
entities that issue variable rate debt. Under the terms of these swaps, the special purpose entities 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 notes and loans payable. This arrangement enables the
special purpose entities to mitigate the interest rate risk inherent in issuing variable rate debt that is secured by fixed
rate Securitized Assets.
Securitized Assets and the related debt remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recognize financing revenue
on the Securitized Assets. We also recognize interest expense on the secured notes and loans payable issued by the
special purpose entities and maintain an allowance for credit losses on the Securitized Assets to cover estimated
probable credit losses using a methodology consistent with that used for our non-securitized asset portfolio. The
interest rate swaps between TMCC and the special purpose entities are considered intercompany transactions and
therefore are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.
We periodically enter into term securitization transactions whereby we agree to use the proceeds solely to acquire
retail and lease contracts financing new Toyota and Lexus vehicles of certain specified “green” models. The terms of
these “green” securitization transactions are consistent with the terms of our other similar transactions except that the
proceeds we receive are included in Restricted cash and cash equivalents in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, when
applicable.
In June 2019, we completed an offering of secured notes under a new revolving asset-backed securitization program,
backed by a revolving pool of finance receivables and cash collateral. Cash flows from these receivables during the
revolving period in excess of what is needed to pay certain expenses of the securitization trust and contractual interest
payments on the related secured notes may be used to purchase additional receivables, provided that certain conditions
are met following the purchase. The secured notes feature a scheduled five year revolving period, with the ability to
repay the secured notes in full, after which an amortization period begins. The revolving period may also end with the
amortization period beginning upon the occurrence of certain events that include certain segregated account balances
falling below their required levels, credit losses or delinquencies on the pool of assets supporting the secured notes
exceeding specified levels, the adjusted pool balance falling to less than 50% of the initial principal amount of the
secured notes, or interest not being paid on the secured notes.
Public Securitization
We maintain a shelf registration statement with the SEC to provide for the issuance of securities backed by Securitized
Assets in the U.S. capital markets during the three year period ending December 2021. We regularly sponsor public
securitization trusts that issue securities backed by retail finance receivables, including registered securities that we
retain. None of these securities have defaulted, experienced any events of default or failed to pay principal in full at
maturity. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, we did not have any outstanding lease securitization transactions registered
with the SEC.
54
Credit Facilities and Letters of Credit
For additional liquidity purposes, we maintain credit facilities as described below:
364 Day Credit Agreement, Three Year Credit Agreement and Five Year Credit Agreement
In November 2019, TMCC, Toyota Credit de Puerto Rico Corp. (“TCPR”) and other Toyota affiliates entered into a
$5.0 billion 364 day syndicated bank credit facility, a $5.0 billion three year syndicated bank credit facility and a $5.0
billion five year syndicated bank credit facility, expiring in fiscal 2021, 2023, and 2025, respectively.
The ability to make draws is subject to covenants and conditions customary in transactions of this nature, including
negative pledge provisions, cross-default provisions and limitations on certain consolidations, mergers and sales of
assets. These agreements may be used for general corporate purposes and none were drawn upon as of March 31,
2020. We are currently in compliance with the covenants and conditions of the credit agreements described above.
Other Unsecured Credit Agreements
TMCC has entered into additional unsecured credit facilities with various banks. As of March 31, 2020, TMCC had
committed bank credit facilities totaling $4.6 billion, of which, $2.5 billion and $2.1 billion mature in fiscal 2021 and
2023, respectively.
These credit agreements contain covenants and conditions customary in transactions of this nature, including negative
pledge provisions, cross-default provisions and limitations on certain consolidations, mergers and sales of assets.
These credit facilities were not drawn upon as of March 31, 2020 and 2019. We are currently in compliance with the
covenants and conditions of the credit agreements described above.
TMCC is party to a $5.0 billion three year revolving credit facility with TMS, an affiliate, expiring in fiscal 2022.
This credit facility was drawn upon as of March 31, 2020 for a principal amount of $3.0 billion with an interest rate of
1.86%, maturing on September 30, 2020. The amount is recorded in Other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance
Sheet and will be used for general corporate purposes.
From time to time, we may borrow from affiliates based upon a number of business factors such as funds availability,
cash flow timing, relative costs of funds, and market access capabilities.
55
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 credit rating organization. Each
credit rating organization may have different criteria for evaluating risk, and therefore ratings should be evaluated
independently for each organization. Our credit ratings depend in part on the existence of the credit support
agreements of TFSC and TMC. Refer to Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “Our borrowing costs and access to the
unsecured debt capital markets depend significantly on the credit ratings of TMCC and its parent companies and our
credit support arrangements.”
Credit Support Agreements
Under the terms of a credit support agreement between TMC and TFSC, TMC has agreed to:
maintain 100 percent ownership of TFSC;
cause TFSC and its subsidiaries to have a tangible net worth (the aggregate amount of issued capital,
capital surplus and retained earnings less any intangible assets) of at least JPY 10 million, equivalent to
$92,989 at March 31, 2020; and
make sufficient funds available to TFSC so that TFSC will be able to (i) service the obligations arising out
of its own bonds, debentures, notes and other investment securities and commercial paper and (ii) honor
its obligations incurred as a result of guarantees or credit support agreements that it has extended
(collectively, “Securities”).
The agreement is not a guarantee by TMC of any securities or obligations of TFSC. TMC’s obligations under the
credit support agreement rank pari passu with TMC’s senior unsecured debt obligations. Either party may terminate
the agreement upon 30 days written notice to the other party. However, such termination cannot take effect unless and
until (1) all Securities issued on or prior to the date of the termination notice have been repaid or (2) each rating
agency that has issued a rating in respect of TFSC or any Securities upon the request of TMC or TFSC has confirmed
to TFSC that the debt ratings of all such Securities will be unaffected by such termination. In addition, with certain
exceptions, the agreement may be modified only by the written agreement of TMC and TFSC, and no modification or
amendment can have any adverse effect upon any holder of any Securities outstanding at the time of such modification
or amendment. The agreement is governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Japan.
Under the terms of a similar credit support agreement between TFSC and TMCC, TFSC has agreed to:
maintain 100 percent ownership of TMCC;
cause TMCC and its subsidiaries to have a tangible net worth (the aggregate amount of issued capital,
capital surplus and retained earnings less any intangible assets) of at least $100,000; and
make sufficient funds available to TMCC so that TMCC will be able to service the obligations arising out
of its own bonds, debentures, notes and other investment securities and commercial paper (collectively,
“TMCC Securities”).
The agreement is not a guarantee by TFSC of any TMCC Securities. The agreement contains termination and
modification provisions that are similar to those in the agreement between TMC and TFSC as described above. The
agreement is governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Japan. TMCC Securities do not include the
securities issued by securitization trusts in connection with TMCC’s securitization programs or any indebtedness
under TMCC’s credit facilities or term loan agreements.
Holders of TMCC Securities have the right to claim directly against TFSC and TMC to perform their respective
obligations under the credit support agreements by making a written claim together with a declaration to the effect that
the holder will have recourse to the rights given under the credit support agreements. If TFSC and/or TMC receive
such a claim from any holder of TMCC Securities, TFSC and/or TMC shall indemnify, without any further action or
formality, the holder against any loss or damage resulting from the failure of TFSC and/or TMC to perform any of
their respective obligations under the credit support agreements. The holder of TMCC Securities who made the claim
may then enforce the indemnity directly against TFSC and/or TMC.
In addition, TMCC and TFSC are parties to a credit support fee agreement which requires TMCC to pay to TFSC a fee
which is based upon the weighted average outstanding amount of TMCC Securities entitled to credit support.
56
TCPR is the beneficiary of a credit support agreement with TFSC containing the same provisions as the credit support
agreement between TFSC and TMCC but pertaining to TCPR bonds, debentures, notes and other investment securities
and commercial paper (collectively, “TCPR Securities”). Holders of TCPR Securities have the right to claim directly
against TFSC and TMC to perform their respective obligations as described above. This agreement is not a guarantee
by TFSC of any securities or other obligations of TCPR. TCPR has agreed to pay TFSC a fee which is based upon the
weighted average outstanding amount of TCPR Securities entitled to credit support.
57
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Risk Management Strategy
Our liabilities consist mainly of fixed and variable rate debt, denominated in U.S dollars and various other currencies,
which we issue in the global capital markets, while our assets consist primarily of U.S. dollar denominated, fixed rate
receivables. We enter into interest rate swaps, interest rate floors, and foreign currency swaps to economically hedge
the interest rate and foreign currency risks that result from the different characteristics of our assets and liabilities. Our
use of derivative transactions is intended to reduce long-term fluctuations in the fair value of assets and liabilities
caused by market movements. All of our derivative activities are authorized and monitored by our management and
our Asset-Liability Committee (“ALCO”) which provides a framework for financial controls and governance to
manage market risk.
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 net settle asset and liability positions and offset cash
collateral held with the same counterparty on a net basis. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in
Interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income. The derivative instruments are included as a component
of Other assets or Other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The accounting guidance permits the net presentation on our Consolidated Balance Sheets 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.
Our International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreements are our master netting agreements
which permit multiple transactions to be cancelled and settled with a single net balance paid to either party. The
master netting agreements also contain reciprocal collateral agreements which require the transfer of cash collateral to
the party in a net asset position across all transactions. Our collateral agreements with substantially all our
counterparties include a zero threshold, full collateralization arrangement. Although we have daily valuation and
collateral exchange arrangements with all of our counterparties, due to the time required to move collateral, there may
be a delay of up to one day between the exchange of collateral and the valuation of our derivatives. We would not be
required to post additional collateral to the counterparties with whom we were in a net liability position at March 31,
2020, if our credit ratings were to decline, since we fully collateralize without regard to credit ratings with these
counterparties. In addition, as our collateral agreements include legal right of offset provisions, collateral amounts are
netted against derivative assets or derivative liabilities.
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”). At the inception of a derivative
contract, we may elect to designate a derivative as a hedge accounting derivative. As of March 31, 2020, we had no
hedge accounting derivatives.
Refer to Note 6 – Derivatives, Hedging Activities and Interest Expense of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

Collateral represents cash received or deposited under reciprocal arrangements that we have entered into with our
derivative counterparties. As of March 31, 2020, we held excess collateral of $10 million which we did not use to
offset derivative assets, and we posted excess collateral of $1 million which we did not use to offset derivative
liabilities. As of March 31, 2019, we held excess collateral of $2 million which we did not use to offset derivative
assets, and we posted excess collateral of $17 million which we did not use to offset derivative liabilities.
LIBOR TRANSITION
In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”),
announced that it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after calendar year
2021. We have exposures to LIBOR-based financial instruments, including through our dealer financing activities,
derivative contracts, secured and unsecured debt, and investment securities. To facilitate an orderly transition from
LIBOR to alternative reference rates (“ARRs”), we have established an initiative led by senior management, with
Board and committee oversight, to assess, monitor and mitigate risks associated with the expected discontinuation of
LIBOR, to achieve operational readiness and engage impacted borrowers and counterparties in connection with the
transition to ARRs. Our efforts under this initiative include monitoring developments and the usage of ARRs,
monitoring the regulatory and financial reporting guidance, as well as reviewing and updating current legal contracts,
internal systems and processes to accommodate the use of ARRs. For example, we are evaluating SOFR, among other
alternatives and actions, as a potential alternative reference rate to LIBOR. SOFR is a measure of the cost of
borrowing cash overnight, collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, and is based on directly observable U.S.
Treasury-backed purchase transactions.
We are also actively assessing how the discontinuation of LIBOR could impact accounting and financial reporting.
We also continue to monitor the activities of the standard setters such as the FASB, which has issued new accounting
standard updates that provide certain relief related to the transition away from LIBOR. For example, in March 2020,
the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on
Financial Reporting, as further discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. This guidance provides
temporary, optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. We are currently in
the process of evaluating the amendments.
Refer to Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “Our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows may be
adversely affected by changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and market prices” for further
discussion.

OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Guarantees
TMCC has guaranteed the payments of principal and interest with respect to the bond obligations that were issued by
Putnam County, West Virginia and Gibson County, Indiana to finance the construction of pollution control facilities at
manufacturing plants of certain TMCC affiliates. TMCC would be required to perform under the guarantees in the
event of non-payment on the bonds and other related obligations. TMCC is entitled to reimbursement by the
applicable affiliates for any amounts paid. TMCC receives a nominal annual fee for guaranteeing such payments.
Other than this fee, there are no corresponding expenses or cash flows arising from our guarantees. The nature,
business purpose, and amounts of these guarantees are described in Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Commitments
We provide fixed and variable rate credit facilities to dealers and various multi-franchise organizations referred to as
dealer groups. These credit facilities are typically used for facilities refurbishment, real estate purchases, business
acquisitions, and working capital requirements. These loans are typically secured with liens on real estate, vehicle
inventory, and/or other dealership assets, as appropriate, and may be guaranteed by the individual or corporate
guarantees of the affiliated dealers, dealer groups, or dealer principals 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. Our pricing reflects market conditions, the competitive environment, the
level of dealer support required for the facility and the credit worthiness of each dealer. Amounts drawn under these
facilities are reviewed for collectability on a quarterly basis, in conjunction with our evaluation of the allowance for
credit losses. Refer to Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for additional discussion and disclosure.
We have also extended credit facilities to affiliates as described in Note 12 – Related Party Transactions of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Indemnification
Refer to Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description
of agreements containing indemnification provisions. We have not made any material payments in the past as a result
of these provisions, and as of March 31, 2020, we determined that it is not probable that we will be required to make
any material payments in the future. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, no amounts have been recorded under these
indemnification provisions.

Debt reflects the remaining principal obligation. Our foreign currency debt is stated in U.S. dollars at amounts representing our
contractual obligations under the foreign currency swaps that are used to hedge the corresponding debt. Debt excludes
unamortized premium/discount of $170 million and debt issuance costs of $164 million, net of foreign currency adjustments of
$1,445 million. Debt also excludes the principal amount drawn on the revolving credit facility with TMS of $3.0 billion which is
recorded in Other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Interest payments for debt and swap agreements payable in foreign currencies or based on variable interest rates are estimated
using the applicable current rates as of March 31, 2020.

Purchase obligations represent fixed or minimum payment obligations under supplier contracts. The amounts included herein
represent the minimum contractual obligations in certain situations; however, actual amounts incurred may be substantially
higher depending on the particular circumstance, including in the case of information technology contracts, the amount of usage
once we have implemented it. Contracts that do not specify fixed payments or provide for a minimum payment are not included.
The contracts noted herein contain voluntary provisions under which the contract may be terminated for a specified fee
depending upon the contract.
The contractual obligations and commitments in the above table do not include term loans and revolving lines of credit
we extend to dealers and dealer groups as the amount and timing of future payments is uncertain. Refer to Note 9 –
Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion and
disclosure.

NEW ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
Refer to Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates which affect reported financial
results. The evaluation of the factors used in determining each of our critical accounting estimates involves
significant assumptions, complex analyses, and management judgment. Changes in the evaluation of these factors
may have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, due to inherent uncertainties in
making estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences could be material. The
accounting estimates we consider to be critical are the following:
Accumulated depreciation on investment in operating leases; and
Allowance for credit losses
Accumulated Depreciation on Investment in Operating Leases
Accumulated depreciation on investment in operating leases reduces the value of the leased vehicles from their
original value at acquisition to their expected market value at the end of the lease term.
Nature of Estimates and Assumptions Required
The accumulated depreciation on investment in operating leases is based on assumptions of end-of-term market value
of the leased vehicles and the number of vehicles that will be returned at maturity. At the inception of a lease, the
residual values are estimated by examining external industry data, the anticipated Toyota and Lexus product pipeline
and our own experience. Factors considered in this evaluation include, but are not limited to, local, regional and
national economic forecasts, new vehicle pricing, new vehicle incentive programs, new vehicle sales, competitor
actions and behavior, product attributes of popular vehicles, the mix and level of used vehicle supply, current and
projected used vehicle values, the actual or perceived quality, safety or reliability of Toyota and Lexus vehicles,
buying and leasing behavior trends, and fuel prices. We review the estimated end-of-term market values of leased
vehicles to assess the appropriateness of their carrying values on a quarterly basis. To the extent the estimated end-of-
term market value of a leased vehicle is lower than the contractual residual value established at lease inception, the
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. Factors affecting the estimated end-of-term market value are similar to those
considered in the evaluation of the contractual residual values at lease inception. These factors are evaluated in the
context of their historical trends to anticipate potential changes in the relationship among those factors in the future.
The vehicle lease return rate represents the number of end-of-term leased vehicles returned to us for sale as a
percentage of lease contracts that were originally scheduled to mature in the same period less certain qualified early
terminations. When the market value of a leased vehicle at maturity is less than its contractual residual value (i.e., the
price at which the lease customer may purchase the leased vehicle), there is a higher probability that the vehicle will
be returned. In addition, a higher market supply of certain models of used vehicles generally results in a lower relative
level of demand for those vehicles, resulting in a higher probability that the vehicle will be returned.
Sensitivity Analysis
At March 31, 2020, holding other estimates constant, if end-of-term market values for returned units were to decrease
by one percent from our present estimates, the effect would be to increase depreciation expense by approximately
$114 million. If the forecasted end-of-term market value of a leased vehicle is less than the contractual residual value,
additional depreciation expense is recorded.
At March 31, 2020, holding other estimates constant, if the return rate for our existing lease portfolio were to increase
by one percentage point from our present estimates, the effect would be to increase depreciation expense by
approximately $32 million. Adjustments are made on a straight-line basis over the remaining terms of the leases and
are included in Investment in operating leases, net in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and in Depreciation on
operating leases in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
62
Allowance for Credit Losses
We maintain an allowance for credit losses to cover probable and estimable losses as of the balance sheet date on our
earning assets resulting from the failure of customers or dealers to make required payments. For evaluation purposes,
exposures to credit losses are segmented into the two primary categories of “consumer” and “dealer”. Our consumer
portfolio consists, for accounting purposes, of our retail loan portfolio segment and our investment in operating leases
portfolio, both of which are characterized by smaller contract balances than our dealer portfolio. Our dealer portfolio
consists, for accounting purposes, of our dealer products portfolio segment. The overall allowance is evaluated at least
quarterly, considering a variety of assumptions and factors to determine whether reserves are considered adequate to
cover probable and estimable losses as of the balance sheet date. For further discussion of the accounting treatment of
our allowance for credit losses, refer to Note 5 – Allowance for Credit Losses of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Consumer Portfolio
The allowance for credit losses for the consumer portfolio is evaluated based on assumptions of default frequency and
loss severity using methodologies such as roll rate, credit risk grade/tier, and vintage analysis. Default frequency
represents the number of finance receivables and investment in operating lease contracts that we expect will default
over the loss emergence period, which represents the average length of time between when a loss event first occurs
and when the account is charged off. The loss severity assumption represents the expected difference between the
amount a customer owes when the finance contract is charged off and the amount received, net of expenses, from
selling the repossessed vehicle. In addition, we review and analyze external factors, such as changes in economic
conditions, actual or perceived quality, safety and reliability of Toyota and Lexus vehicles, unemployment levels, the
used vehicle market, and consumer behavior as well as internal factors, such as purchase quality mix, collection
strategies, and operational changes.
Dealer Portfolio
The allowance for credit losses for the dealer portfolio is evaluated based on assumptions of probability of default and
loss given default by aggregating dealer financing receivables into loan-risk pools, which are determined based on the
risk characteristics of the loan (e.g. secured by vehicle inventory, real estate, or dealership assets). We analyze the
loan-risk pools using internally developed risk ratings for each dealer. In addition, field operations management and
our special assets group are consulted each quarter to determine if any specific dealer loan is considered impaired. If
impaired loans are identified, specific reserves are established as appropriate, and the loan is removed from the loan-
risk pool for separate monitoring.
Sensitivity Analysis
The assumptions used in evaluating our exposure to credit losses involve estimates and significant judgment. The
majority of our credit losses are related to our consumer portfolio. Holding other estimates constant, a 10 percent
increase or decrease in either the estimated loss severity or the estimated default frequency on the consumer portfolio
would have resulted in a change in the allowance for credit losses of $58 million as of March 31, 2020.
63
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
MARKET RISK
Our business and global capital market activities give rise to market sensitive assets and liabilities. This sensitivity is
considered market risk and is caused by changes in market prices of our financial instruments on the balance sheet
which is driven by various market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads and other
market driven factors. Market risk is inherent in the financial instruments associated with our operations such as cash
equivalents, finance receivables, debt and equity securities, debt, and derivatives.
ALCO is responsible for the execution of our market risk management strategies and their activities are governed by
written policies and procedures. The principal objective of asset and liability management is to manage the sensitivity
of net interest margin to changing interest rates. When evaluating risk management strategies, we consider a variety of
factors, including, but not limited to, management’s risk tolerance, market conditions and portfolio composition.
We manage our exposure to certain market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and when
deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative instruments. These instruments are used to manage underlying
exposures; we do not use derivatives for trading, market making or speculative purposes. Refer to “Derivative
Instruments” within Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
for information on risk management strategies, corporate governance and derivatives usage.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk can result from timing differences in the maturity or re-pricing of assets and liabilities. Changes in
the level and volatility of market interest rate curves also create interest rate risk as the re-pricing of assets and
liabilities are a function of implied forward interest rates. We are also exposed to basis risk, which is the difference in
re-pricing characteristics of two floating rate indices.
We use sensitivity simulations to assess and manage interest rate risk. Our simulations allow us to analyze the
sensitivity of our existing portfolio as well as the expected sensitivity of our new business. We measure the potential
volatility in our net interest margin and manage our interest rate risk by assessing the dollar impact given a 100 basis
point increase or decrease in the implied yield curve. We have established risk limits to monitor and control our
exposures. ALCO reviews the amount at risk and prescribes steps, if needed, to mitigate our exposure. Our current
exposure is considered within tolerable limits.
Sensitivity Model Assumptions
Interest rate scenarios were derived from implied forward curves based on market expectations. Internal and external
data sources were used for the reinvestment of maturing assets, refinancing of maturing debt and replacement of
maturing derivatives. The prepayment of retail and lease contracts was based on our historical experience and attrition
projections, voluntary or involuntary. We monitor our balance sheet positions, economic trends and market
conditions, internal forecasts and expected business growth in an effort to maintain the reasonableness of the
sensitivity model.
The table below reflects the potential 12-month change in pre-tax cash flows based on hypothetical movements in
future market interest rates. The sensitivity analysis assumes instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves.
These interest rate scenarios do not represent management’s view of future interest rate movements. In reality, interest
rate movements are rarely instantaneous or parallel and rates could move more or less than the rate scenarios reflected
in the table below. In situations where existing interest rates are below one percent, the assumption of a 100 basis
point decrease in interest rates is subject to a floor of zero percent, which is reflected in the “-100bp” scenario for both
March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Our net interest cash flow sensitivity results from the “+100bp” scenario show a slightly liability-sensitive position on
March 31, 2020 and on March 31, 2019. We regularly assess the viability of our business and hedging strategies to
reduce unacceptable risks to earnings and implement strategies to protect our net interest margins from the potential
negative effects of changes in interest rates.
64
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk represents exposure to changes in the values of our current holdings and future cash flows
denominated in other currencies. To meet our funding objectives, we issue fixed and variable rate debt denominated
in a number of different currencies. Our policy is to minimize exposures to changes in foreign exchange rates.
Currency exposure related to foreign currency debt is economically hedged at issuance through the execution of
foreign currency swaps which effectively convert our obligations on foreign denominated debt into U.S. dollar
denominated 3-month LIBOR based payments. As a result, our economic exposure to foreign currency risk is
minimized.
Certain equity investments in our investment securities portfolio are exposed to foreign currency risk. The equity
investments may invest directly in foreign currencies, in securities that trade in and receive revenues in foreign
currencies, or in financial derivatives that provide exposure to foreign currencies. The equity investments may also
enter into foreign currency derivative contracts to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the
equity investments’ securities. The market value of these holdings is translated into U.S. dollars based on the current
exchange rates each business day. The effect of changes in foreign currency on our portfolio is reflected in the net
asset value of the equity investment.
Derivative Counterparty Credit Risk
We manage derivative 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 derivative counterparties to which we had credit exposure at March 31, 2020 were assigned investment
grade ratings by a credit rating organization. Our counterparty credit risk could be adversely affected by deterioration
of the global economy and financial distress in the banking industry.
Our ISDA Master Agreements permit multiple transactions 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. These ISDA Master Agreements also contain reciprocal collateral
arrangements which help mitigate our exposure to the credit risk associated with our counterparties. As of March 31,
2020, we have daily valuation and collateral exchange arrangements with all of our counterparties. Our collateral
agreements with substantially all our counterparties include a zero threshold, full collateralization requirement, which
has significantly reduced counterparty credit risk exposure. Under our ISDA Master Agreements, cash is the only
permissible form of collateral. Neither we nor our counterparties are required to hold collateral in a segregated
account. Upon default, the collateral agreement grants the party in a net asset position the right to set-off amounts
receivable against any posted collateral.
65
Issuer Credit Risk
Issuer credit risk represents exposures to changes in the creditworthiness of individual issuers or groups of issuers.
Changes in economic conditions may expose us to issuer credit risk where the value of an asset may be adversely
impacted by changes in the levels of credit spreads, by credit migration, or by defaults.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation and its
subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of income,
comprehensive income, shareholder’s equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March
31, 2020, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Company as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended March 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public
accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and
are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and
the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
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, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is
not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As
part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures
included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (“TMCC”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota Financial Services International
Corporation (“TFSIC”), a California corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota Financial Services
Corporation (“TFSC”), a Japanese corporation. TFSC, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota Motor
Corporation (“TMC”), a Japanese corporation. TFSC manages TMC’s worldwide financial services operations.
References herein to the “Company”, “we”, “our”, and “us” denote TMCC and its consolidated subsidiaries. TMCC is
marketed under the brands of Toyota Financial Services and Lexus Financial Services.
We provide a variety of finance and insurance products to authorized Toyota and Lexus dealers or dealer groups and,
to a lesser extent, other domestic and import franchise dealers (collectively referred to as “dealers”) and their
customers in the United States of America (excluding Hawaii) (the “U.S.”) and Puerto Rico. Our business is
substantially dependent upon the sale of Toyota and Lexus vehicles.
Our products fall primarily into the following categories:
Finance - We acquire retail installment sales contracts from dealers in the U.S. and Puerto Rico (“retail
contracts”) and leasing contracts accounted for as operating leases (“lease contracts”) from dealers in the
U.S. We collectively refer to our retail and lease contracts as the “consumer portfolio.” We also provide
dealer financing, including wholesale financing, working capital loans, revolving lines of credit and real
estate financing to dealers in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. We collectively refer to our dealer financing
portfolio as the “dealer portfolio.”
Insurance - Through Toyota Motor Insurance Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, and its insurance
company subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “TMIS”), we provide marketing, underwriting, and
claims administration for vehicle and payment protection products sold by dealers in the U.S. Our vehicle
and payment protection products include vehicle service agreements, guaranteed auto protection
agreements, prepaid maintenance agreements, excess wear and use agreements, tire and wheel protection
agreements, key replacement protection, and used vehicle limited warranty agreements. TMIS also
provides coverage and related administrative services to certain of our affiliates in the U.S. Although the
vehicle and payment protection products are generally not regulated as insurance products, for ease of
reference we collectively refer to the group of products provided by TMIS herein as “insurance products.”
Our finance operations are located in the U.S. and Puerto Rico with earning assets principally sourced through Toyota
and Lexus dealers. As of March 31, 2020, approximately 23 percent of retail and lease contracts were concentrated in
California, 11 percent in Texas, 7 percent in New York, and 5 percent in New Jersey. Our insurance operations are
located in the U.S. As of March 31, 2020, approximately 25 percent of insurance policies and contracts were
concentrated in California, 6 percent in New York, and 5 percent in Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia, respectively.
Any material adverse changes to the economies or applicable laws in these states could have an adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations.
Other Matters
On April 16, 2019, we announced that we will restructure our field operations over the next two years to better serve
our dealer partners by streamlining our field office structure into three regional locations and investing in new
technology. This restructure is expected to be completed in fiscal year 2021 and costs associated with this restructure
are not expected to be significant.
As of April 1, 2020, TMCC began providing private label financial services to third-party automotive and mobility
companies commencing with the provision of services to Mazda Motor of America, Inc. (“Mazda”). We currently
offer exclusive private label automotive retail, lease, and dealer financing products and services marketed under the
brand Mazda Financial Services to Mazda customers and dealers in the United States. TMCC’s agreement with
Mazda is for an initial term of approximately five years. We intend to leverage our existing processes and personnel
to service the newly originated assets, and we expect to make certain technology investments to support the Mazda
program. TMCC will not acquire any existing Mazda assets or liabilities pursuant to the agreement and we do not
expect launch costs to be significant through fiscal year 2021.

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Our accounting and financial reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Related party transactions presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements are
disclosed in Note 12 – Related Party Transactions.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TMCC, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and all variable
interest entities (“VIE”) of which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Because of inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results could differ from those
estimates and assumptions. The accounting estimates that are most important to our business are the accumulated
depreciation related to our investments in operating leases and the allowance for credit losses.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are found in the respective Note for which the policy is applicable.

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
On April 1, 2019, we adopted the following new accounting standards:
Leases
We adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), along with the
subsequently issued guidance amending and clarifying various aspects of the new lease guidance, using the modified
retrospective method. In accordance with that method, the comparative period’s information has not been restated and
continues to be reported under the lease accounting guidance in effect for that period. We also elected to apply the
package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance of the new standard which allowed us to not
reassess our historical lease classification, initial direct costs, and whether or not contracts entered into prior to
adoption are or contain leases. As a lessor, the adoption of ASU 2016-02, did not have a significant impact on our
financial statements. As a lessee, the adoption of ASU 2016-02 added right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $115 million
and operating lease liabilities of $122 million, which are included in Other assets, and in Other liabilities, respectively,
in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The adoption of this new guidance did not impact our Consolidated Statement of
Income and did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings.
Refer to Note 4 – Investments in Operating Leases, Net and Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies for additional
information.
Other Recently Adopted Standards
We adopted ASU 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, which requires certain premiums on
callable debt securities to be amortized to the earliest call date. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
We adopted ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging
Activities. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures as we no longer have hedge accounting derivatives.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we adopted ASU 2019-07, Codification Updates to Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) SectionsAmendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Final Rule Releases No. 33-
10532, “Disclosure Update and Simplification,” and Nos. 33-10231 and 33-10442, “Investment Company Reporting
Modernization,” and Miscellaneous Updates. This guidance was effective upon issuance in July 2019 and aligns the
guidance in various SEC sections to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard
Codification with the requirements of certain already effective SEC final rules. While most of the amendments in this
release eliminate outdated or duplicative disclosure requirements, the final rule release amends the interim financial
statement requirements to include a reconciliation of changes in shareholder’s equity for each period for which an
income statement is required to be filed. We have disclosed the required information in the Consolidated Statements
of Shareholder’s Equity. The other eliminations or amendments did not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This guidance introduces a new impairment model based on expected losses
rather than incurred losses for certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for
available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with
credit deterioration since their origination. The FASB subsequently issued guidance amending and clarifying aspects
of the new impairment model. This ASU and the related amendments are effective for us on April 1, 2020. Upon
adoption of the guidance on April 1, 2020, based on our current loan portfolio attributes and forecasts of future
economic conditions, we estimate an increase in our allowance for credit losses on finance receivables of
approximately $292 million and a corresponding reduction to our opening retained earnings, net of income taxes.
Additionally, the adoption of this ASU and the related amendments will not have a material impact to our available-
for-sale debt securities portfolio.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which modifies disclosure
requirements related to fair value measurement. This ASU is effective for us on April 1, 2020. The adoption of this
guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software, which
aligns the accounting for costs incurred to implement a cloud computing arrangement that is a service arrangement
with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. This ASU is
effective for us on April 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810), which requires indirect interests held
through related parties in common control arrangements to be considered on a proportional basis for determining
whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. This ASU is effective for us on
April 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements
and related disclosures.
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—
Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. The applicable provisions
of this ASU are effective for us on April 1, 2020. The adoption of guidance related to Topic 815, Derivatives and
Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements. Our adoption status for Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses is discussed above.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of
Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential
burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for
applying generally accepted accounting principles to transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria
are met. Entities may apply the provisions of the new standard as of the beginning of the reporting period when the
election is made. The provisions of this update are available until December 31, 2022, when the reference rate
replacement activity is expected to have completed. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2 – Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments in Marketable Securities
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of
acquisition and may include money market instruments, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, U.S. government
and agency obligations, or similar instruments.
Restricted cash and cash equivalents
Restricted cash and cash equivalents include customer collections on securitized receivables to be distributed to
investors as payments on the related secured notes and loans payable, which are primarily related to securitization
trusts. Restricted cash equivalents may also contain proceeds from certain debt issuances for which the use of the cash
is restricted.
Investments in marketable securities
Investments in marketable securities consist of debt securities and equity investments.
Debt securities are designated as available-for-sale (“AFS”) and are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains or
losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of applicable taxes. An unrealized loss
exists when the current fair value of an individual security is less than its amortized cost basis. We conduct periodic
reviews of AFS debt securities to determine whether the loss is deemed to be other-than-temporary.
If an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) loss is deemed to exist, we first determine whether we have the intent
to sell the debt security or if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the debt security before recovery
of its amortized cost basis. If so, the cost basis of the security is written down to fair value and the loss is reflected in
Investment and other income, net in our Consolidated Statements of Income. If we do not have the intent to sell nor is
it more likely than not that we will be required to sell, the credit loss component of the OTTI losses is recognized in
Investment and other income, net in our Consolidated Statements of Income, while the remainder of the loss is
recognized in AOCI. The credit loss component is identified as the portion of the amortized cost of the security not
expected to be collected over the remaining term as projected using a cash flow analysis for debt securities.
All equity investments are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in Investment and other income,
net in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Realized gains and losses from sales of equity investments are
determined using the first in first out method and are included in Investment and other income, net within our
Consolidated Statements of Income.

A portion of our equity investments are investments in funds that are privately placed and managed by an open-end
investment management company (the “Trust”). If we elect to redeem shares, the Trust will normally redeem all
shares for cash, but may, in unusual circumstances, redeem amounts exceeding the lesser of $250 thousand or 1
percent of the Trust’s asset value by payment in kind of securities held by the respective fund during any 90-day
period.
We also invest in actively traded open-end mutual funds. Redemptions are subject to normal terms and conditions as
described in each fund’s prospectus.

Note 3 – Finance Receivables, Net
Finance receivables, net consist of the retail loan and the dealer products portfolio segments, which includes accrued
interest and deferred fees and costs, net of the allowance for credit losses and deferred income. Finance receivables,
net also includes securitized retail receivables, which represent retail receivables that have been sold for legal purposes
to securitization trusts but continue to be included in our consolidated financial statements, as discussed further in
Note 8 – Variable Interest Entities. Cash flows from these securitized retail receivables are available only for the
repayment of debt issued by these trusts and other obligations arising from the securitization transactions. They are
not available for payment of our other obligations or to satisfy claims of our other creditors.
Finance receivables are classified as held-for-investment if the Company has the intent and ability to hold the
receivables for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, all finance
receivables were classified as held-for-investment.
Revenues associated with retail and dealer financing are recognized so as to approximate a constant effective yield
over the contract term. Incremental direct fees and costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of retail contracts
and dealer financing receivables, including incentive and rate participation payments made to dealers, are capitalized
and amortized so as to approximate a constant effective yield over the term of the related contracts. Payments
received on subvention and other consumer incentives are deferred and recognized to approximate a constant effective
yield over the term of the related contracts.
The accrual of revenue is discontinued at the time a retail receivable is determined to be uncollectible. These finance
receivables may be restored to accrual status when future payments are reasonably assured. For retail loan finance
receivables in non-accrual status, subsequent financing revenue is recognized only to the extent a payment is received.
Payments are applied first to outstanding interest and then to the unpaid principal balance.
Impaired receivables in the dealer products portfolio segment are placed on nonaccrual status if full payment of
principal or interest is in doubt, or when principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. Interest accrued, but not
collected at the date a dealer financing receivable is placed on nonaccrual status, is reversed against interest income.
In addition, the amortization of net deferred fees is suspended. Interest income on nonaccrual dealer financing
receivables is recognized only to the extent it is received in cash. Dealer financing receivables are restored to accrual
status only when interest and principal payments are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

The retail loan portfolio segment consists of one class of finance receivables. While we use various credit quality
metrics to develop our allowance for credit losses on the retail loan portfolio segment, we primarily utilize the aging of
the individual accounts to monitor the credit quality of these finance receivables. Based on our experience, the
payment status of borrowers is the strongest indicator of the credit quality of the underlying receivables. Payment
status also impacts charge-offs.
Individual borrower accounts within the retail loan portfolio segment are segregated into aging categories based on the
number of days outstanding. The aging for each class of finance receivables is updated monthly.
Dealer Products Portfolio Segment
The dealer products portfolio segment consists of three classes of finance receivables: wholesale, real estate and
working capital. All loans outstanding for an individual dealer or dealer group, which includes affiliated entities, are
aggregated and evaluated collectively by dealer or dealer group. This reflects the interconnected nature of financing
provided to our individual dealer and dealer group customers, and their affiliated entities.
When assessing the credit quality of the finance receivables within the dealer products portfolio segment, we segregate
the finance receivables account balances into four categories representing distinct credit quality indicators based on
internal risk assessments. The internal risk assessments for all finance receivables within the dealer products portfolio
segment are updated on a monthly basis.
The four credit quality indicators are:
Performing – Account not classified as either Credit Watch, At Risk or Default;
Credit Watch – Account designated for elevated attention;
At Risk – Account where there is an increased likelihood that default may exist based on qualitative and
quantitative factors; and
Default – Account is not currently meeting contractual obligations or we have temporarily waived certain
contractual requirements

Past Due Finance Receivables by Class
Substantially all finance receivables do not involve recourse to the dealer in the event of customer default. Finance
receivables include contracts in bankruptcy and contracts greater than 120 days past due, which are recorded at the fair
value of collateral less estimated costs to sell. Contracts for which vehicles have been repossessed are excluded.

Impaired Finance Receivables
A finance receivable is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will
be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the contract. Factors such as payment history,
compliance with terms and conditions of the underlying loan agreement and other subjective factors related to the
financial stability of the borrower are considered when determining whether a finance receivable is impaired.

The primary source of interest income recognized on the loans in the table above is from performing troubled debt
restructurings. Interest income on impaired finance receivables and interest income recognized using a cash-basis
method of accounting during fiscal 2020 and 2019 were not significant. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, the impaired
finance receivables balance for accounts in the dealer products portfolio segment that were on nonaccrual status was
$288 million and $329 million, respectively, and there were no charge-offs against the allowance for credit losses for
these finance receivables. Therefore, the impaired finance receivables balance is equal to the unpaid principal balance.
As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, impaired finance receivables in the retail loan portfolio segment recorded at the fair
value of the collateral less estimated selling costs were not significant and therefore excluded from the table above.
Refer to Note 5 – Allowance for Credit Losses for details related to the retail loan portfolio segment’s impaired
account balances which are aggregated and evaluated for impairment when determining the allowance for credit
losses.

Note 3 – Finance Receivables, Net (Continued)
Troubled Debt Restructuring
A troubled debt restructuring occurs when a finance receivable is modified through a concession to a borrower
experiencing financial difficulty. A finance receivable modified under a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be
impaired. In addition, troubled debt restructurings include finance receivables for which the customer has filed for
bankruptcy protection. For such finance receivables, we no longer have the ability to modify the terms of the
agreement without the approval of the bankruptcy court and the court may impose term modifications that we are
obligated to accept.
For accounts not under bankruptcy protection, the amount of finance receivables modified as a troubled debt
restructuring during fiscal 2020 and 2019 was not significant for each class of finance receivables. Troubled debt
restructurings for accounts not under bankruptcy protection within the retail loan class of finance receivables are
comprised exclusively of contract term extensions that reduce the monthly payment due from the customer. For the
three classes of finance receivables within the dealer products portfolio segment, troubled debt restructurings include
contract term extensions, interest rate adjustments, waivers of loan covenants, or any combination of the three.
Troubled debt restructurings of accounts not under bankruptcy protection did not include forgiveness of principal or
interest rate adjustments during fiscal 2020 and 2019.
We consider finance receivables under bankruptcy protection within the retail loan class to be troubled debt
restructurings as of the date we receive notice of a customer filing for bankruptcy protection, regardless of the ultimate
outcome of the bankruptcy proceedings. The bankruptcy court may impose modifications as part of the proceedings,
including interest rate adjustments and forgiveness of principal. For fiscal 2020 and 2019, the financial impact of
troubled debt restructurings related to finance receivables under bankruptcy protection was not significant to our
Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We have offered several programs to provide relief to customers and dealers during the COVID-19 pandemic. These
programs, which were broadly available to our customers and dealers, included payment extensions and deferrals. We
concluded that these programs did not meet troubled debt restructuring criteria.

Note 4 – Investments in Operating Leases, Net
In conjunction with the April 1, 2019 adoption of ASU 2016-02 as described in Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and
Significant Accounting Policies, we updated our accounting policies and disclosures below.
Investments in operating leases, net primarily consists of vehicle lease contracts acquired from dealers. Generally,
lessees have the ability to extend their lease term in six month increments up to a total of 12 months from the original
lease maturity date. A lease can be terminated at any time by satisfying the obligations under the lease contract. Early
termination programs may be occasionally offered to eligible lessees. At the end of the lease, the customer has the
option to buy the leased vehicle or return the vehicle to the dealer.
Securitized investments in operating leases represent beneficial interests in a pool of certain vehicle leases that have
been sold for legal purposes to securitization trusts but continue to be included in our consolidated financial statements
as discussed further in Note 8 - Variable Interest Entities. Cash flows from these securitized investments in operating
leases are available only for the repayment of debt issued by these trusts and other obligations arising from the
securitization transactions. They are not available for payment of our other obligations or to satisfy claims of our other
creditors.
Operating lease revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. We have made an
accounting policy election to exclude from the consideration in the contract, and from variable payments not included
in the consideration in the contract, sales and other taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed
on and concurrent with a specific lease revenue-producing transaction and collected from customers. Deferred fees
and costs, including incentive payments made to dealers and acquisition fees collected from customers, and payments
received on affiliate sponsored subvention and other incentive programs are capitalized or deferred and amortized on a
straight-line basis over the contract term. The accrual of revenue on investments in operating leases is discontinued at
the time an account is determined to be uncollectible and subsequent revenue is recognized only to the extent a
payment is received. Operating leases may be restored to accrual status when future payments are reasonably assured.
Vehicle Lease Residual Values
Contractual residual values of vehicle lease contracts are estimated at lease inception by examining external industry
data, the anticipated Toyota and Lexus product pipeline and our own experience. Factors considered in this evaluation
include, macroeconomic forecasts, new vehicle pricing, new vehicle incentive programs, new vehicle sales, vehicle
features and specifications, the mix and level of used vehicle supply, the level of current used vehicle values, and fuel
prices. We are exposed to a risk of loss to the extent the customer returns the vehicle and the value of the vehicle is
lower than the residual value estimated at inception of the lease and if the number of returned vehicles is higher than
anticipated.
Depreciation on operating leases is recognized using the straight-line method over the lease term. The depreciable
basis is the original acquisition cost of the vehicle less the estimated residual value of the vehicle at the end of the
lease term. On a quarterly basis, we review the estimated end-of-term market values and return rates of leased
vehicles to assess the appropriateness of the carrying values at lease-end. Factors affecting the estimated end-of-term
market value are similar to those considered in the evaluation of residual values at lease inception discussed above.
Adjustments to depreciation expense to reflect revised estimates of expected market values at lease termination and
revised return rates are recorded prospectively on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.
We use various channels to sell vehicles returned at lease-end. Upon disposition, the difference between the net book
value of the lease and the proceeds received from the disposition of the asset, including any insurance proceeds is
recorded as an adjustment to Depreciation on operating leases.
We evaluate our investment in operating leases portfolio for potential impairment when we determine a triggering
event has occurred. When a triggering event has occurred, we perform a test of recoverability by comparing the
expected undiscounted future cash flows (including expected residual values) over the remaining lease terms to the
carrying value of the asset group. If the test of recoverability identifies a possible impairment, the asset group’s fair
value is measured in accordance with the fair value measurement framework. An impairment charge would be
recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeds its estimated fair value and would be
recorded in our Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no impairment in our
investment in operating leases portfolio.

Note 5 – Allowance for Credit Losses
We maintain an allowance for credit losses to cover probable and estimable losses incurred on our finance receivables
and investments in operating leases resulting from the failure of customers or dealers to make contractual payments.
Management evaluates the allowance at least quarterly, considering a variety of factors and assumptions to determine
whether the allowance is considered adequate to cover probable and estimable losses incurred as of the balance sheet
date.
Management develops and documents the allowance for credit losses on finance receivables based on two portfolio
segments. The determination of portfolio segments is based primarily on the qualitative consideration of the nature of
our business operations and the characteristics of the underlying finance receivables, as follows:
Retail Loan Portfolio Segment – The retail loan portfolio segment consists of retail contracts acquired
from dealers in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Under a retail contract, we are granted a security interest in the
underlying collateral which consists primarily of Toyota and Lexus vehicles. Based on the common risk
characteristics associated with the finance receivables, the retail loan portfolio segment is considered a
single class of finance receivable.
Dealer Products Portfolio Segment – The dealer products portfolio segment consists of wholesale
financing, working capital loans, revolving lines of credit and real estate loans to dealers in the U.S. and
Puerto Rico. Wholesale financing is primarily collateralized by new or used vehicle inventory with the
outstanding balance fluctuating based on the level of inventory. Working capital loans and revolving lines
of credit are granted for working capital purposes and are secured by dealership assets. Real estate loans
are collateralized by the underlying real estate, are underwritten primarily on a loan-to-value basis and are
typically for a fixed term. Based on the risk characteristics associated with the underlying finance
receivables, the dealer products portfolio segment consists of three classes of finance receivables:
wholesale, working capital (including revolving lines of credit), and real estate.
We also separately develop and document the allowance for credit losses for investments in operating leases.
Investments in operating leases are not within the scope of accounting guidance governing the disclosure of portfolio
segments.
Methodology Used to Develop the Allowance for Credit Losses
Retail Loan Portfolio Segment and Investments in Operating Leases
The level of credit risk in our retail loan portfolio segment and our investments in operating leases is influenced
primarily by two factors: default frequency and loss severity, which in turn are influenced by various factors such as
economic conditions, the used vehicle market, purchase quality mix, contract term length, and collection strategies and
practices.
We evaluate the retail loan portfolio segment and investments in operating leases using methodologies that include roll
rate, credit risk grade/tier, and vintage analysis. We review and analyze external factors, including changes in
economic conditions, actual or perceived quality, safety and reliability of Toyota and Lexus vehicles, unemployment
levels, the used vehicle market, and consumer behavior. In addition, internal factors, such as purchase quality mix and
operational changes are also considered in the analyses. This process, along with management judgment, is used to
establish the allowance for credit losses to cover probable and estimable losses incurred as of the balance sheet date.
We utilize a loss emergence period assumption in developing our allowance for credit losses. This assumption
represents the average length of time between when a loss event first occurs and when the account is charged off. We
apply judgment in estimating the loss emergence period using available credit information and trends.
TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions)
87
Note 5 – Allowance for Credit Losses (Continued)
Dealer Products Portfolio Segment
The level of credit risk in our dealer products portfolio segment is influenced primarily by the financial strength of
dealers within our portfolio, dealer concentration, collateral quality, and other economic factors. The financial
strength of dealers within our portfolio is influenced by, among other factors, general economic conditions, the overall
demand for new and used vehicles and the financial condition of automotive manufacturers.
We evaluate the dealer portfolio by aggregating dealer financing receivables into loan-risk pools, which are
determined based on the risk characteristics of the loan (e.g. secured by vehicles, real estate or dealership assets). We
analyze the loan-risk pools using internally developed risk ratings for each dealer. We also utilize a loss emergence
period assumption in developing our allowance for credit losses. The loss emergence period represents the time period
between the date at which the loss event is estimated to have occurred and the ultimate realization of that loss through
charge-off. In addition, field operations management and our special assets group are consulted each quarter to
determine if any specific dealer loan is considered impaired. If impaired loans are identified, specific reserves are
established, as appropriate, and the loan is removed from the loan-risk pool for separate monitoring. We apply
judgment in estimating the loss emergence period using available credit information and trends. This process, along
with management judgment, is used to establish the allowance for credit losses to cover probable and estimable losses
incurred as of the balance sheet date.
Accounting for the Allowance for Credit Losses and Impaired Receivables
The majority of the allowance for credit losses covers estimated losses on the retail loan portfolio segment and
investments in operating leases which are collectively evaluated for impairment. The remainder of the allowance for
credit losses covers the estimated losses on the dealer products portfolio segment. Within the dealer products portfolio
segment, we establish specific reserves to cover the estimated losses on individual impaired loans (including loans
modified in a troubled debt restructuring). The specific reserves are assessed based on discounted cash flows, the
loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the underlying collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Increases to the allowance for credit losses are accompanied by corresponding charges to the Provision for credit
losses on our Consolidated Statements of Income. The uncollectible portion of finance receivables and investments in
operating leases is charged to the allowance for credit losses at the earlier of when an account is deemed to be
uncollectible or when an account is greater than 120 days past due. In the event we repossess the collateral, the
receivable is charged-off and we record the collateral at its estimated fair value less costs to sell and report it in Other
assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Recoveries of finance receivables and investments in operating leases
previously charged off as uncollectible are credited to the allowance for credit losses.

Note 6 – Derivatives, Hedging Activities and Interest Expense
Derivative Instruments
Our liabilities consist mainly of fixed and variable rate debt, denominated in U.S. dollars and various other currencies,
which we issue in the global capital markets, while our assets consist primarily of U.S. dollar denominated, fixed rate
receivables. We enter into interest rate swaps, interest rate floors, and foreign currency swaps to economically hedge
the interest rate and foreign currency risks that result from the different characteristics of our assets and liabilities. Our
use of derivative transactions is intended to reduce long-term fluctuations in the fair value of assets and liabilities
caused by market movements. All of our derivative activities are authorized and monitored by our management and
our Asset-Liability Committee which provides a framework for financial controls and governance to manage market
risk.
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”). At the inception of a derivative
contract, we may elect to designate a derivative as a hedge accounting derivative if certain criteria are met. As of
September 30, 2018, we no longer have any hedge accounting derivatives.
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 net settle asset and liability positions and offset cash
collateral with the same counterparty on a net basis. Changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments are
recognized as a component of Interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income. The derivative instruments
are included as a component of Other assets or Other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Offsetting of Derivatives
The accounting guidance permits the net presentation on our Consolidated Balance Sheets 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.
Our International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreements are our master netting agreements
which permit multiple transactions to be cancelled and settled with a single net balance paid to either party. The
master netting agreements also contain reciprocal collateral agreements which require the transfer of cash collateral to
the party in a net asset position across all transactions. Our collateral agreements with substantially all our
counterparties include a zero threshold, full collateralization arrangement. Although we have daily valuation and
collateral exchange arrangements with all of our counterparties, due to the time required to move collateral, there may
be a delay of up to one day between the exchange of collateral and the valuation of our derivatives. We would not be
required to post additional collateral to the counterparties with whom we were in a net liability position at March 31,
2020, if our credit ratings were to decline, since we fully collateralize without regard to credit ratings with these
counterparties. In addition, as our collateral agreements include legal right of offset provisions, collateral amounts are
netted against derivative assets or derivative liabilities, the net amount of which is included in Other assets or Other
liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Unsecured and secured notes and loans payable mature on various dates through fiscal 2049.
Unsecured notes and loans payable
Our unsecured notes and loans payable consist of commercial paper and fixed and variable rate debt. Short-term
funding needs are met through the issuance of commercial paper in the U.S. Amounts outstanding under our
commercial paper programs were $27.0 billion and $25.3 billion as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Upon issuance of fixed rate debt, we generally elect to enter into pay-float swaps to convert fixed rate payments on
debt to floating rate payments. Certain unsecured notes and loans payable are denominated in various foreign
currencies. The debt is translated into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate at the transaction date and
retranslated at each balance sheet date using the exchange rate in effect at that date. Concurrent with the issuance of
these foreign currency unsecured notes and loans payable, we enter into currency swaps in the same notional amount
to convert non-U.S. currency payments to U.S. dollar denominated payments. Gains and losses related to foreign
currency transactions are included in Interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
Certain of our unsecured notes and loans payable contain covenants and conditions customary in transactions of this
nature, including negative pledge provisions, cross-default provisions and limitations on certain consolidations,
mergers and sales of assets. We are currently in compliance with these covenants and conditions.

Note 7 – Debt and Credit Facilities (Continued)
Secured notes and loans payable
Our secured notes and loans payable are denominated in U.S. dollars and consist of both fixed and variable rate debt.
Secured notes and loans payable are issued using on-balance sheet securitization trusts, as further discussed in Note 8
– Variable Interest Entities. These notes are repayable only from collections on the underlying securitized retail
finance receivables and the beneficial interests in investments in operating leases and from related credit
enhancements.
In June 2019, we completed an offering of secured notes under a new revolving asset-backed securitization program,
backed by a revolving pool of finance receivables and cash collateral. Cash flows from these receivables during the
revolving period in excess of what is needed to pay certain expenses of the securitization trust and contractual interest
payments on the related secured notes may be used to purchase additional receivables, provided that certain conditions
are met following the purchase. The secured notes feature a scheduled five year revolving period, with the ability to
repay the secured notes in full, after which an amortization period begins. The revolving period may also end with the
amortization period beginning upon the occurrence of certain events that include certain segregated account balances
falling below their required levels, credit losses or delinquencies on the pool of assets supporting the notes exceeding
specified levels, the adjusted pool balance falling to less than 50% of the initial principal amount of the secured notes,
or interest not being paid on the secured notes.
Credit Facilities and Letters of Credit
For additional liquidity purposes, we maintain credit facilities as described below:
364 Day Credit Agreement, Three Year Credit Agreement and Five Year Credit Agreement
In November 2019, TMCC, Toyota Credit de Puerto Rico Corp. (“TCPR”) and other Toyota affiliates re-entered into a
$5.0 billion 364 day syndicated bank credit facility, a $5.0 billion three year syndicated bank credit facility and a $5.0
billion five year syndicated bank credit facility, expiring in fiscal 2021, 2023, and 2025, respectively.
The ability to make draws is subject to covenants and conditions customary in transactions of this nature, including
negative pledge provisions, cross default provisions and limitations on certain consolidations, mergers and sale of
assets. These agreements may be used for general corporate purposes and none were drawn upon as of March 31,
2020 and 2019. We are currently in compliance with the covenants and conditions of the credit agreements described
above.
Other Unsecured Credit Agreements
TMCC has entered into additional unsecured credit facilities with various banks. As of March 31, 2020, TMCC had
committed bank credit facilities totaling $4.6 billion, of which, $2.5 billion and $2.1 billion mature in fiscal 2021 and
2023, respectively.
These credit agreements contain covenants and conditions customary in transactions of this nature, including negative
pledge provisions, cross-default provisions and limitations on certain consolidations, mergers and sales of assets.
These credit facilities were not drawn upon as of March 31, 2020 or 2019. We are currently in compliance with the
covenants and conditions of the credit agreements described above.
TMCC is party to a $5.0 billion three year revolving credit facility with TMS expiring in fiscal 2022. This credit
facility was drawn upon as of March 31, 2020 for a principal amount of $3.0 billion with an interest rate of 1.86%,
maturing on September 30, 2020. The amount is recorded in Other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and
will be used for general corporate purposes.
From time to time, we may borrow from affiliates based upon a number of business factors such as funds availability,
cash flow timing, relative cost of funds, and market access capabilities. Amounts borrowed from affiliates are
recorded in Other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 8 – Variable Interest Entities
A 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. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party with both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most
significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb the losses or the right to receive
benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
To assess whether we have the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic
performance, we consider all the facts and circumstances including our role in establishing the VIE and our ongoing
rights and responsibilities. This assessment includes identifying the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s
economic performance and identifying which party, if any, has power over those activities. In general, the party that
makes the most significant decisions affecting the VIE is determined to have the power to direct the activities of the
VIE. To assess whether we have the obligation to absorb the losses or the right to receive benefits that could
potentially be significant to the VIE, we consider all of our economic interests, including debt and equity interests,
servicing rights and fee arrangements, and any other variable interests in the VIE. If we determine that we are the
party with the power to make the most significant decisions affecting the VIE, and we have an obligation to absorb the
losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE, then we consolidate the VIE.
We perform ongoing reassessments, usually quarterly, of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The
reassessment process considers whether we have acquired or divested the power to direct the most significant activities
of the VIE through changes in governing documents or other circumstances. We also reconsider whether entities
previously determined not to be VIEs have become VIEs, based on new events, and therefore could be subject to the
VIE consolidation framework.
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
We use one or more special purpose entities that are considered Variable Interest Entities 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 related to retail finance receivables and
beneficial interests in investments in operating leases (“Securitized Assets”). We hold variable interests in the VIEs
that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. We determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the
securitization trusts because (i) our servicing responsibilities for the Securitized Assets 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.

Note 8 – Variable Interest Entities (Continued)
Restricted Cash, including cash equivalents, shown in the previous table represents collections from the underlying
Net Securitized Assets shown in the previous table and certain reserve deposits held by TMCC for the VIEs and is
included as part of Restricted cash and cash equivalents on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net Securitized Assets
shown in the previous table are presented net of deferred fees and costs, deferred income, accumulated depreciation
and the allowance for credit losses. Other Assets represent used vehicles held-for-sale that were repossessed by or
returned to TMCC for the benefit of the VIEs. The related debt of these consolidated VIEs is presented net of $1,182
million and $1,486 million of securities retained by TMCC at March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Other
Liabilities represents accrued interest on the debt of the consolidated VIEs.
The assets of the VIEs and the restricted cash and cash equivalents held by TMCC serve as the sole source of
repayment for the asset-backed securities issued by these entities. Investors in the notes issued by the VIEs do not
have recourse to us or our other assets, with the exception of customary representation and warranty repurchase
provisions and indemnities.
As the primary beneficiary of these entities, we are exposed to credit, residual value, interest rate, and prepayment risk
from the Securitized Assets in 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, we entered into interest rate swaps with certain special purpose entities that issue variable rate debt.
Under the terms of these swaps, the special purpose entities are obligated to pay TMCC a fixed rate of interest on
certain 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 special purpose entities to mitigate the interest rate risk
inherent in issuing variable rate debt that is secured by fixed rate Securitized Assets.
The transfers of the Securitized Assets to the special purpose entities in our securitizations are considered to be sales
for legal purposes. However, the Securitized Assets and the related debt remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We recognize financing revenue on the Securitized Assets and interest expense on the secured debt issued by the
special purpose entities. We also maintain an allowance for credit losses on the Securitized Assets to cover estimated
probable credit losses using a methodology consistent with that used for our non-securitized asset portfolio. The
interest rate swaps between TMCC and the special purpose entities are considered intercompany transactions and
therefore are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.
Non-consolidated Variable Interest Entities
We provide lending to Toyota and Lexus dealers through the Toyota Dealer Investment Group’s Dealer Capital
Program (“TDIG Program”) operated by our affiliate, TMNA, which has an equity interest in these
dealerships. Dealers participating in this program have been determined to be VIEs. We do not consolidate the
dealerships in this program as we are not the primary beneficiary and any exposure to loss is limited to the amount of
the credit facility. Amounts due from these dealers under the TDIG Program that are classified as Finance receivables,
net in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2020 and 2019 and revenues earned from these dealers during
fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018 were not significant.
We also have other lending relationships which have been determined to be VIEs, but these relationships are not
consolidated as we are not the primary beneficiary. Amounts due and revenues earned under these relationships as of
March 31, 2020 and 2019 were not significant.

Wholesale financing is not considered to be a contractual commitment as the arrangements are not binding
arrangements under which TMCC is required to perform.
Commitments
We provide fixed and variable rate working capital loans, revolving lines of credit, and real estate financing to dealers
and various multi-franchise organizations referred to as dealer groups for facilities construction and refurbishment,
working capital requirements, real estate purchases, business acquisitions and other general business purposes. These
loans are typically secured with liens on real estate, vehicle inventory, and/or other dealership assets, as appropriate,
and may be guaranteed by individual or corporate guarantees of affiliated dealers, dealer groups, or dealer principals.
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. Our pricing reflects market conditions, the competitive
environment, the level of support dealers provide our retail, lease and insurance business and the creditworthiness of
each dealer. 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 have also extended credit facilities to affiliates as described
in Note 12 – Related Party Transactions.
Lease Commitments
Our operating lease portfolio consists of real estate leases. Total operating lease expense, including payments to
affiliates, was $36 million for fiscal 2020 and $30 million for both fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018. We have a lease
agreement through August 2032 with TMNA for our headquarters facility in Plano, Texas. Commitments under
operating lease agreements in the table above include $102 million and $97 million for facilities leases with affiliates
at March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Lease terms may contain renewal and extension options or early termination features. Generally, these options do not
impact the lease term because TMCC is not reasonably certain that it will exercise the options. These lease
agreements do not impose restrictions on our ability to pay dividends, engage in debt or equity financing transactions
or enter into further lease agreements, nor do they have residual value guarantees. We exclude from our Consolidated
Balance Sheets leases with a term equal to one year or less and do not separate non-lease components from our real
estate leases.

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
Guarantees and Other Contingencies
TMCC has guaranteed bond obligations totaling $100 million in principal that were issued by Putnam County, West
Virginia and Gibson County, Indiana to finance the construction of pollution control facilities at manufacturing plants
of certain TMCC affiliates. The bonds mature in the following fiscal years ending March 31: 2028 - $20 million; 2029
- $50 million; 2030 - $10 million; 2031 - $10 million; and 2032 - $10 million. TMCC would be required to perform
under the guarantees in the event of non-payment on the bonds and other related obligations. TMCC is entitled to
reimbursement by the applicable affiliates for any amounts paid. TMCC receives a nominal annual fee for
guaranteeing such payments. TMCC has not been required to perform under any of these affiliate bond guarantees as
of March 31, 2020 and 2019.
Indemnification
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 may require us to pay lenders for increased costs due to certain changes in laws or regulations. Due to
the difficulty 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 March 31, 2020, we determined that it is not probable that we will be required to make any
material payments in the future. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, no amounts have been recorded under these
indemnification provisions.
Litigation and Governmental Proceedings
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. In addition, we are subject to governmental and regulatory examinations, information-
gathering requests, and investigations from time to time at the state and federal levels. It is inherently difficult to
predict the course of such legal actions and governmental inquiries.
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. When we are able, we also determine estimates of
reasonably probable loss or range of loss, whether in excess of any related accrued liability or where there is no
accrued liability. Given the inherent uncertainty associated with legal matters, the actual costs of resolving legal
claims and associated costs of defense may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts for which accruals have
been established. Based on available information and established accruals, we do not believe it is reasonably probable
that the results of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Note 10 – Pension and Other Benefit Plans
We are a participating employer in certain retirement and post-retirement medical care, life insurance, and other
benefits sponsored by TMNA, an affiliate. Costs of each plan are generally allocated to TMCC based on relative
benefit costs associated with participating or eligible employees at TMCC as compared to the plan as a whole.
Defined Benefit Plan
Prior to January 1, 2015, our employees were generally eligible to participate in the Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.
Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”) commencing on the first day of the month following hire and were vested after 5
years of continuous employment. Effective January 1, 2015, the Pension Plan was closed to employees first employed
or reemployed on or after such date.
Benefits payable under this non-contributory defined benefit pension plan are based, generally, upon the employees'
years of credited service (up to a maximum of 25 years), the highest average annual compensation (as defined in the
plan) for any 60 consecutive month period out of the last 120 months of employment (the “Applicable Years”), and
one-half of eligible bonus/gift payments for the Applicable Years (recalculated to determine the annual average of
such amount), reduced by a percentage of the estimated amount of social security benefits.
Costs allocated to TMCC for our employees in the Pension Plan and certain other non-qualified plans were not
significant for fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018.
Defined Contribution Plan
Employees meeting certain eligibility requirements, as defined in the plan documents, may participate in the Toyota
Motor North America, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan. Under this plan, eligible employees may elect to contribute
between 1 percent and 30 percent of their eligible pre-tax compensation, subject to federal tax regulation limits. We
match 66.67 percent of the first 6 percent that a participant contributes, up to 4 percent of eligible compensation.
Participants are always 100% vested in their contributions to the Retirement Savings Plan. Employer contributions
vest on a 4-year graded schedule at 25 percent per year. Generally, contributions are funded through bi-weekly
payments to the plan’s administrator. Certain employees hired on or after January 1, 2015, may be eligible to receive
an additional Company contribution to the plan calculated based on their age and compensation.
TMCC employer contributions to the savings plan were not significant for fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018.
Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans
Employees are generally eligible to participate in other post-retirement benefits sponsored by TMNA which provide
certain medical care and life insurance benefits to eligible retired employees. Generally, in order to be eligible for
these benefits, the employee must be age 55 or older with 10 or more years of service.
Other post-retirement benefit costs allocated to TMCC were not significant for fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018.

We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted
to reflect changes in tax rates and laws in the period such changes are enacted resulting in adjustments to the current
fiscal year’s provision for income taxes.
TMCC files a consolidated federal income tax return with TFSIC and its subsidiaries. Current and deferred federal
income taxes are allocated to TMCC as if it were a separate taxpayer. TMCC’s net operating losses and tax credits are
utilized when those losses and credits are used by TFSIC and its subsidiaries including TMCC in the consolidated
federal income tax return. TMCC files either separate or consolidated/combined state income tax returns with TMNA,
TFSIC, or subsidiaries of TMCC. State income tax expense is generally recognized as if TMCC and its subsidiaries
filed their tax returns on a stand-alone basis. In those states where TMCC and its subsidiaries join in the filing of
consolidated or combined income tax returns, TMCC and its subsidiaries are allocated their share of the total income
tax expense based on combined allocation/apportionment factors and separate company income or loss. Based on the
federal and state tax sharing agreements, TFSIC and TMCC and its subsidiaries pay for their share of the income tax
expense and are reimbursed for the benefit of any of their tax losses and credits utilized in the federal and state income
tax returns.
The provision (benefit) for income taxes consisted of the following:

Note 11 – Income Taxes (Continued)
During fiscal 2018, the TCJA reduced the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%. As a result, our federal
statutory rate for fiscal 2018 was a blended rate of 31.6% and we recorded a $2.9 billion income tax benefit from the
revaluation of our net deferred tax liabilities. We completed our assessment of the impact of the TCJA within twelve
months from its enactment date, and such impact has been reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements as of
and for the year ended March 31, 2019.

included in total deferred tax expense.
We have deferred tax assets related to cumulative state net operating loss carry forwards of $37 million at March 31,
2020, compared to $2.1 billion in federal net operating loss deferred tax assets and $147 million in state net operating
loss deferred tax assets at March 31, 2019, respectively. We have no deferred tax assets related to cumulative federal
net operating loss carry forwards at March 31, 2020. Some state net operating loss carryforwards have no expiration
while others expire beginning in fiscal 2022.
We have deferred tax assets related to federal tax credits for alternative fuel vehicles and plug-in vehicles, research
and development, and foreign tax of $52 million, $10 million, $1 million, at March 31, 2020, respectively. This is
compared to deferred tax assets related to federal tax credits for plug-in vehicles, research and development, foreign
tax, and alternative minimum tax of $38 million, $14 million, $3 million, and $12 million at March 31, 2019,
respectively. The federal tax credit carryforwards will expire beginning in fiscal 2028.
The deferred tax assets related to foreign tax credit and state tax net operating loss carryforwards are reduced by a
valuation allowance of $13 million and $24 million at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The
determination of the valuation allowance is based on management’s estimate of future taxable income during the
respective carryforward periods. Apart from the valuation allowance, we believe that the remaining deferred tax assets
will be realized in full. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable could be reduced if management’s
estimates change.

Note 11 – Income Taxes (Continued)
We have made an assertion of permanent reinvestment of earnings from our foreign subsidiary; as a result, other than
the deemed repatriation tax that is provided pursuant to the TCJA, state and local taxes have not been provided for
unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiary. At March 31, 2020 and 2019, these unremitted earnings totaled $243
million and $233 million, respectively. Determination of the amount of the deferred state and local tax liability is not
practicable, and accordingly no estimate of the unrecorded deferred state and local tax liability is provided.
Although we do not foresee any events causing repatriation of earnings, possible examples may include but are not
limited to parent company capital needs or exiting the business in the foreign country.
At March 31, 2020, we had an income tax payable of $47 million for our share of the income tax in those states where
we filed consolidated or combined returns with TMNA and its subsidiaries. Our share of the income tax payable or
receivable in those states where we filed consolidated or combined returns with TMNA and its subsidiaries was not
significant at March 31, 2019. Additionally, our federal and state income tax payable or receivable from TMCC
affiliated companies, including TFSIC, TFSB, and Toyota Financial Services Securities USA Corporation, was not
significant for both March 31, 2020 and 2019.
The guidance for the accounting and reporting for income taxes requires us to assess tax positions in cases where the
interpretation of the tax law may be uncertain. The change in unrecognized tax benefits are as follows:

At March 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 approximately $17 million, $6 million and $6 million of the respective
unrecognized tax benefits would, if recognized, have an effect on the effective tax rate. The remaining amounts in the
respective unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 are related to timing matters. During fiscal
2020, $11 million of the increase in unrecognized tax benefits had an effect on the effective tax rate. We do not have
any positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly
increase or decrease within 12 months.
We accrue interest, if applicable, related to uncertain income tax positions in interest expense. Statutory penalties, if
applicable, accrued with respect to uncertain income tax positions are recognized as an addition to the income tax
liability. For each of fiscal 2020, 2019, and 2018, accrued interest was not significant and no penalties were accrued.
Tax-related Contingencies
As of March 31, 2020, we remained under IRS examination for fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019, and fiscal 2018.

Financing Support Arrangements with Affiliates
TMCC is party to a credit support agreement with TFSC (the “TMCC Credit Support Agreement”). The TMCC
Credit Support Agreement requires TFSC to maintain certain ownership, net worth maintenance, and debt service
provisions with respect to TMCC, but is not a guarantee by TFSC of any securities or obligations of TMCC. In
conjunction with this credit support agreement, TMCC has agreed to pay TFSC a semi-annual fee based on a fixed rate
applied to the weighted average outstanding amount of securities entitled to credit support.
TCPR is the beneficiary of a credit support agreement with TFSC containing provisions similar to the TMCC Credit
Support Agreement described above.
In addition, TMCC receives support from and provides financing support to TFSC and other affiliates in the form of
promissory notes and various loan and credit facility agreements. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, total financing
support available from affiliates totaled approximately $8.4 billion and $8.5 billion, respectively. As of March 31,
2020 and 2019, total financing support available to affiliates totaled approximately $6.8 billion and $5.4 billion,
respectively. These amounts include TMCC’s increased financing support provided to Toyota Financial Services
Mexico, S.A. de C.V. of $1.5 billion in May 2019. The amounts outstanding under these agreements are recorded in
Other assets and Other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2020 and 2019.
In March 2020, we drew upon our revolving credit facility with TMS for a principal amount of $3.0 billion with an
interest rate of 1.86%, maturing on September 30, 2020. The amount is recorded in Other liabilities on our
Consolidated Balance Sheet and will be used for general corporate purposes.
Other Financing Support Provided to Affiliates
TMCC provides wholesale financing, real estate and working capital loans to certain dealerships that were
consolidated with another affiliate under the accounting guidance for variable interest entities. TMCC also pays these
dealers origination fees. These costs represent direct costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of retail and
lease contracts, including subvention and other cash incentive programs.
TMCC has guaranteed the payments of principal and interest with respect to the bonds of manufacturing facilities of
certain affiliates. The nature, business purpose, and amounts of these guarantees are described in Note 9 –
Commitments and Contingencies.
TMCC and TFSB are parties to a master participation agreement pursuant to which TMCC agreed to purchase up to
$60 million per year of residential mortgage loans originated by TFSB that meet specified credit underwriting
guidelines. At March 31, 2020 and 2019, we had $22 million and $23 million, respectively, in loan participations
outstanding that had been purchased by TMCC under this agreement.

TMNA and Toyota de Puerto Rico Corp.
TMCC is party to a lease agreement with TMNA for our headquarters facility in Plano, Texas, expiring in
2032, our Customer Service Center located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, expiring in 2029, and our Dallas Data
Center expiring in 2026. The lease commitments are described in Note 9 – Commitments and
Contingencies.
In conjunction with the April 1, 2019 adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases, as described in Note 1 – Basis of
Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, we recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities, which
include amounts for facility leases with affiliates. As of March 31, 2020, the amounts for both affiliate
related ROU assets and lease liabilities were $85 million.
Subvention receivable represents amounts due from TMNA and other affiliates in support of retail and
lease subvention and other cash incentive programs offered by TMCC. Deferred subvention income
represents the unearned portion of amounts received from these transactions, and manufacturers’
subvention and other revenues primarily represent the earned portion of such amounts.
Investment in operating leases includes contractual residual value support received from affiliates which
are recognized as an offset to depreciation expense over the life of the contract.
TMCC is a participating employer in certain retirement, post-retirement medical care and life insurance
benefits sponsored by TMNA. Refer to Note 10 – Pension and Other Benefit Plans for additional
information.
TMCC is party to agreements with TMNA and other affiliates relating to the team member vehicle benefit
program, which allows team members to lease Toyota and Lexus vehicles on terms exclusive to the
benefit program. TMNA serves as the chief administrator of the program. TMCC acquires and services
team member leases entered into after the third quarter of fiscal 2018. A portion of the vehicles used for
the team member vehicle benefit program are acquired from TMNA. TMCC receives a per vehicle
contribution from participating affiliates to assist with the costs of its contribution to the benefit program,
and TMCC pays a per vehicle participation fee to TMNA to participate in the benefit program.
Affiliate insurance premiums and contract revenues primarily represent revenues from TMIS for coverage
and related administrative services provided to TMNA and affiliates. This includes contractual indemnity
coverage for limited warranties on certified Toyota and Lexus pre-owned vehicles and related
administrative services for TMNA’s certified pre-owned vehicle program and umbrella liability
policy. TMIS provides umbrella liability insurance to TMNA and affiliates covering certain dollar value
layers of risk above various primary or self-insured retentions. On all layers in which TMIS has provided
coverage, 99 percent of the risk has been ceded a reinsurer.

Note 13 – Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined 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. In order to determine fair value of our assets and
liabilities, we use quoted prices for identical or similar instruments, otherwise we utilize valuation models with
observable or calculated inputs. The use of observable quotes for identical or similar instruments and the use of
unobservable inputs is reflected in the fair value hierarchy assessment disclosed in the tables within this Note as Level
1, 2 and 3 defined below. 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 a 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. We use prices and inputs that
are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market disruption. In periods of market disruption,
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.
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical,
unrestricted assets or liabilities.
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.
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.
Valuation Adjustments
We may make valuation adjustments to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments
include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, our own creditworthiness, as well as constraints due to market
illiquidity or unobservable parameters.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Equivalents
The fair value of cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents approximates the carrying value and these
instruments are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in marketable securities
We estimate the value of our AFS debt securities using observed transaction prices, independent third-party pricing
valuation vendors, and internal valuation models.
We may hold investments in actively traded open-end and private placement equity investments. Where the equity
investments produce a daily net asset value that is quoted in an active market, we use this value to determine the fair
value of the equity investment and classify the investment as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of
equity investments that produce a daily net asset value that is not quoted in an active market is estimated using the net
asset value per share (or its equivalent) as practical expedient and are excluded from leveling in the fair value
hierarchy.
In addition, we may hold individual securities where valuation methodologies and inputs to valuation models depend
on the security type, thus they may be classified differently in the leveling hierarchy. Where possible, quoted prices in
active markets for identical or similar securities are used to determine the fair value of the investment securities; those
securities are classified as Level 1 or 2, respectively. Where quoted prices in active markets are not available, we use
various valuation models for each asset class that are consistent with what market participants use. The inputs and
assumptions to the models are derived from market observable sources including: benchmark yields, reported trades,
broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and other market-related data. These
investments are generally classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy, however depending on the significance
of the unobservable inputs they may also be classified as Level 3.

Note 13 – Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
Derivatives
We estimate the fair value of our derivatives using industry standard valuation models that require observable market
inputs, including market prices, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatilities, counterparty credit risk, our own
non-performance risk and the contractual terms of the derivative instruments. We consider counterparty credit risk
and our own non-performance risk through credit valuation adjustments.
For derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and do not require significant
management judgment. These derivative instruments are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
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 valuation vendor. These derivative instruments are classified as Level 3 within
the fair value hierarchy.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
Nonrecurring fair value measurements include Level 3 net finance receivables that are not measured at fair value on a
recurring basis but are subject to fair value adjustments utilizing the fair value of the underlying collateral when there
is evidence of impairment. Nonrecurring fair value items as of March 31, 2020 and 2019 were not significant.
Impaired Dealer Finance Receivables
For finance receivables within the dealer products portfolio segment for which there is evidence of impairment, we
may measure impairment based on discounted cash flows, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the
underlying collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. If the loan is collateral-dependent, the fair values of impaired
finance receivables are reported at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The methods used to estimate the fair value of
the underlying collateral depends on the specific class of finance receivable. For finance receivables within the
wholesale class of finance receivables, the collateral value is generally based on wholesale market value or liquidation
value for new and used vehicles. For finance receivables within the real estate class of finance receivables, the
collateral value is generally based on appraisals. For finance receivables within the working capital class of finance
receivables, the collateral value is generally based on the expected liquidation value of the underlying dealership
assets. Adjustments may be performed in circumstances where market comparables are not specific to the attributes of
the specific collateral or appraisal information may not be reflective of current market conditions due to the passage of
time and the occurrence of market events since receipt of the information. As these valuations utilize unobservable
inputs, our impaired finance receivables are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
Impaired Retail Receivables
Retail finance receivables greater than 120 days past due are measured at fair value based on the fair value of the
underlying collateral less costs to sell. The fair value of collateral is based on the current average selling prices for
like vehicles at wholesale used vehicle auctions.

Note 13 – Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
Finance Receivables
Our finance receivables consist of retail loans and dealer financing loans, which are comprised of wholesale, real
estate and working capital financing. Retail finance receivables are primarily valued using a securitization model that
incorporates expected cash flows. Cash flows expected to be collected are estimated using contractual principal and
interest payments adjusted for specific factors, such as prepayments, extensions, 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. The dealer
financing portfolio is valued using a discounted cash flow model. Discount rates are derived based on market rates for
equivalent portfolio bond ratings. As these valuations utilize unobservable inputs, our finance receivables are
classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
Unsecured notes and loans payable
The fair value of commercial paper is assumed to approximate the carrying value due to its short duration and
generally negligible credit risk. We validate this assumption by recalculating the fair value of our commercial paper
using quoted market rates. Commercial paper is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Other unsecured notes and loans payable are primarily valued using current market rates and credit spreads for debt
with similar maturities. Our valuation models utilize observable inputs such as standard industry curves; therefore, we
classify these unsecured notes and loans payables as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. When observable inputs
are not available for all assumptions, we estimate the fair value using internal assumptions such as volatility and
expected credit losses. As these valuations utilize unobservable inputs, we classify these unsecured notes and loans
payable as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
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. As these valuations utilize unobservable inputs, our
secured notes and loans payables are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
Other liabilities
Our other liabilities include notes payable to related parties. As these notes are short term in nature, the carrying value
is deemed to approximate fair value and they are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Note 14 – Segment Information (Continued)
Insurance operations
The Insurance operations segment offers vehicle and payment protection products on Toyota, Lexus and other
domestic and import vehicles that are sold by dealers along with the sale of a vehicle.
Insurance Earned Premiums
Revenues from providing coverage under various contractual agreements are recognized over the term of the coverage
in relation to the timing and level of anticipated claims and administrative expenses. Revenues from insurance
policies, net of premiums ceded to reinsurers, are earned over the terms of the respective policies in proportion to the
estimated loss development. Management relies on historical loss experience as a basis for establishing earnings
factors used to recognize revenue over the term of the contract or policy.
Insurance Contract Revenues
We receive the contractually determined dealer cost at the inception of the contract. Revenue is then deferred and
recognized over the term of the contract according to earnings factors established by management that are based upon
historical loss experience. Contracts sold range in term from 3 to 120 months and are typically cancellable at any
time. The effect of subsequent cancellations is recorded as an offset to unearned contract revenues in Other liabilities
on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
For the year ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, approximately 84 percent of Insurance earned premiums
and contract revenues in the Insurance operations segment were accounted for under ASU 2014-09.
The Insurance operations segment defers contractually determined incentives paid to dealers as contract costs for
selling vehicle and payment protection products. These costs are recorded in Other assets on our Consolidated
Balance Sheets and are amortized to Operating and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income
using a methodology consistent with the recognition of revenue. The amount of capitalized dealer incentives and the
related amortization was not significant to our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended March
31, 2020 and 2019.
We had $2.2 billion and $2.4 billion of unearned insurance premiums and contract revenues from contracts with
customers included in Other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020,
respectively. We recognized $673 million of the unearned amounts in Insurance earned premiums and contract
revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Income during fiscal 2020. We expect to recognize as revenue
approximately $700 million in fiscal 2021 and $1.7 billion thereafter.
Insurance Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses
Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses include amounts paid and accrued for loss events that are known and
have been recorded as claims, estimates of losses incurred but not reported based on actuarial estimates and historical
loss development patterns, and loss adjustment expenses that are expected to be incurred in connection with settling
and paying these claims.
Accruals for unpaid losses, losses incurred but not reported, and loss adjustment expenses are included in Other
liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. These accruals arising from contractual agreements entered into by
TMIS are not significant as of March 31, 2020 and 2019. Estimated liabilities are reviewed regularly, and we
recognize any adjustments in the periods in which they are determined. If anticipated losses, loss adjustment
expenses, and unamortized acquisition and maintenance costs exceed the recorded unearned premium, a premium
deficiency is recognized by first charging any unamortized acquisition costs to expense and then by recording a
liability for any excess deficiency.
Risk Transfer
Our insurance operations transfer certain risks to protect us against the impact of unpredictable high severity losses.
The amounts recoverable from reinsurers and other companies that assume liabilities relating to our Insurance
operations are determined in a manner consistent with the related reinsurance or risk transfer agreement. Amounts
recoverable from reinsurers and other companies on unpaid losses are recorded as a receivable but are not collectible
until the losses are paid. Revenues related to risks transferred are recognized on the same basis as the related revenues
from the underlying agreements. Covered losses are recorded as a reduction to Insurance losses and loss adjustment
expenses.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There is nothing to report with regard to this item.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in
reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time
periods specified by the rules and regulations of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is accumulated and communicated to
management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (the
principal financial officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”),
of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures’ as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as
of March 31, 2020.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such
term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because the degree of compliance with policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
Management conducted, under the supervision of our CEO and CFO, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, commonly referred to as the “COSO”
criteria. Based on the assessment performed, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting
was effective as of March 31, 2020.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm
regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report is not subject to attestation by our
