Without solid bases, vehicles lack stability and comfort. Companies are the same. They need strong platforms to perform well and keep growing. In Toyota’s management platform, technological, supply, and sales capabilities drive growth, supported by quality, cost, and human resources. At Toyota, we are building a rock-solid management platform that will launch us toward new levels of achievement.

Also, in an interview, the president explains measures for consolidating foundations and Toyota’s forward-looking management strategies. In a special feature section, we hear from one of Toyota’s executive vice presidents and other personnel about Toyota’s focus on strengthening the international competitiveness of production and a range of initiatives to consolidate foundations and realize future growth. We hope this report furthers readers’ understanding of Toyota. 2 ANNUAL REPORT 2007 Financial Highlights Toyota Motor Corporation Fiscal years ended March 31 Consolidated Performance (U.S. GAAP) U.S. dollars* Yen in millions in millions % change 2005 2006 2007 2007 2006 vs 2007 For the Year: Net Revenues....................................... ¥18,551,526 ¥21,036,909 ¥23,948,091 $202,864 +13.8 Operating Income ............................... 1,672,187 1,878,342 2,238,683 18,964 +19.2 Net Income........................................... 1,171,260 1,372,180 1,644,032 13,927 +19.8 ROE....................................................... 13.6% 14.0% 14.7% — — At Year-End: Total Assets .......................................... ¥24,335,011 ¥28,731,595 ¥32,574,779 $275,941 +13.4 Shareholders’ Equity............................ 9,044,950 10,560,449 11,836,092 100,263 +12.1 Yen U.S. dollars* % change 2005 2006 2007 2007 2006 vs 2007 Per Share Data: Net Income........................................... ¥ 355.35 ¥ 421.76 ¥ 512.09 $ 4.34 +21.4 Annual Cash Dividends ....................... 65.00 90.00 120.00 1.02 +33.3 Shareholders’ Equity............................ 2,767.67 3,257.63 3,701.17 31.35 +13.6 Stock Information (March 31): Stock Price............................................ ¥3,990 ¥6,430 ¥7,550 $63.96 +17.4 Market Capitalization (Yen in millions, U.S. dollars in millions) ............................ ¥14,403,890 ¥23,212,284 ¥27,255,481 $230,881 +17.4 * U.S. dollar amounts have been translated at the rate of ¥118.05=US$1, the approximate current exchange rate at March 30, 2007.
