NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Interim Financial Data

Basis of Presentation

The information furnished in these unaudited interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).  In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 do not necessarily indicate the results which may be expected for the full fiscal year.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, significant accounting policies, and other notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Toyota Motor Credit Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 (“fiscal 2011”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 2, 2011.  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.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A troubled debt restructuring occurs when an account is modified through a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty.  An account modified under a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be impaired.

Retail Loan and Commercial Portfolio Segments

The retail loan portfolio segment and the commercial portfolio segment are referred to as the homogeneous portfolio segments because they consist of smaller balance loans with similar characteristics.  For the homogeneous loan portfolio segments, troubled debt restructurings include groups of accounts modified under specific programs that meet the criteria of a troubled debt restructuring.  In addition, troubled debt restructurings within the homogeneous loan portfolio segments include accounts in which the customer has filed for bankruptcy protection.  For such accounts, 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.  Troubled debt restructurings in the homogeneous loan portfolio segments are specifically identified as impaired and aggregated with their respective portfolio segments when determining the allowance for credit losses.

Dealer Products Portfolio Segment

Troubled debt restructurings in the dealer products portfolio segment are specifically identified as impaired and a specific reserve is 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Interim Financial Data (Continued)

Payment Defaults

A payment default on an account that has been modified as a troubled debt restructuring is deemed to have occurred when the account becomes thirty days past due.  Accounts which have filed for bankruptcy protection are not considered to have a payment default as we are prohibited by statute from applying our normal collection procedures.

New Accounting Guidance

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance on the disclosure about offsetting assets and liabilities.  The disclosure requirements of this guidance are intended to help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company’s financial position.  Offsetting, otherwise known as netting, is the presentation of assets and liabilities as a single net amount in the balance sheet.  The guidance retains the current U.S. GAAP model that allows companies the option to present net in their balance sheets derivatives that are subject to a legally enforceable netting arrangement with the same party, where rights of set-off are only available in the event of default or bankruptcy.  However, the guidance adds new disclosure requirements to improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received.  The accounting guidance is effective for us on April 1, 2013.  We are evaluating the effect that adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance that requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. Additionally, this guidance requires that items reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income be separately presented within their respective components of net income and comprehensive income.  This guidance does not change the items that must be reported in comprehensive income or when an item in other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.  In December 2011, the FASB issued additional guidance that defers the changes that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments.  The guidance is effective for us on April 1, 2012.  The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements.  The guidance generally clarifies the application of existing requirements on topics including the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise, measuring the fair value of instruments classified in shareholder’s equity, and disclosing quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the measurement of instruments categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  Additionally, the guidance includes changes on topics such as measuring the fair value of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio and additional disclosure for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  This accounting guidance is effective for us January 1, 2012.  This guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Note 1 – Interim Financial Data (Continued)

In April 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance on repurchase agreements that removes from the assessment of effective control the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee.  It also removes the collateral maintenance guidance related to this criterion.  This accounting guidance is effective for us January 1, 2012.  This guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In July 2011, we adopted new FASB accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings that clarifies whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a loan modification constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. This accounting guidance also supersedes previous accounting guidance that temporarily delayed the effective date for disclosures about troubled debt restructurings as part of the credit quality of finance receivables and the allowance for credit losses disclosures. This accounting guidance was effective for us for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, with retrospective application of the identification of troubled debt restructurings back to April 1, 2011. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2011, we adopted new FASB accounting guidance on the capitalization of costs relating to the acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts. The early adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2011, we adopted new FASB accounting guidance that sets forth the requirements that must be met for a company to recognize revenue from the sale of a delivered item that is part of a multiple-element arrangement when other items have not yet been delivered. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2011, we adopted new FASB accounting guidance that changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality. The accounting guidance more closely reflects the underlying economics of these transactions. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In December 2010, we adopted new FASB accounting guidance requiring additional disclosures about the credit quality of finance receivables and the allowance for credit losses.  The new disclosures provide transparency regarding the nature of credit risk inherent in finance receivables, how credit risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses, as well as the reasons for changes in the allowance for credit losses.  The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2010, we adopted new FASB accounting guidance for transfers of financial assets.  The new accounting guidance removes the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity and revises the accounting criteria for transfer of financial assets to be considered a sale.  The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2010, we adopted new FASB accounting guidance on consolidation of variable interest entities.  The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Note 1 – Interim Financial Data (Continued)

In March 2010, we adopted new FASB accounting guidance requiring disclosure of gross transfers in and out of Level 3 as well as transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In January 2010, we adopted new FASB accounting guidance that addresses the accounting and reporting for an entity that experiences a decrease in ownership of a subsidiary, including the deconsolidation of a subsidiary and the exchange of assets for an equity interest in another entity.  The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In October 2009, we adopted new FASB accounting guidance which provided clarification that, in the absence of a quoted price for a liability, companies may apply methods that use the quoted price of an investment traded as an asset or other valuation techniques consistent with the fair-value measurement principle. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In July 2009, we adopted new FASB accounting guidance The Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative accounting guidance for public companies. The Codification did not change generally accepted accounting principles but rather enhanced the way accounting principles are organized. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2009, we adopted new FASB accounting guidance requiring disclosure about the method and significant assumptions used to establish the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as annual statements. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2009, we adopted new FASB additional accounting guidance for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) to improve the consistency in the timing of impairment recognition, as well as provide greater clarity to investors about credit and non-credit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.  Upon adoption we did not record a transition adjustment for securities held at March 31, 2009 that were previously considered other-than-temporarily impaired as we intended to sell or believed it was more likely that we would be required to sell the securities for which we had previously recognized OTTI.

In April 2009, we adopted new FASB accounting guidance which primarily addressed the measurement of fair value of financial assets and liabilities when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used could be indicative of distressed sales. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Methods

Fair value is based on quoted market prices, if available.  If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use as inputs market-based or independently sourced market parameters.  We use prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation.  In periods of market dislocation, 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.

Valuation Adjustments

Counterparty Credit Valuation Adjustments – Adjustments are required when the market price (or parameter) is not indicative of the credit quality of the counterparty.

Non-Performance Credit Valuation Adjustments – Adjustments reflect our own non-performance risk when our liabilities are measured at fair value.

Liquidity Valuation Adjustments – Adjustments are necessary when we are unable to observe prices for a financial instrument due to market illiquidity.

Valuation Methods

For financial instruments measured at fair value, the following section describes the valuation methodologies, key inputs and significant assumptions.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include money market instruments, debt securities and certificates of deposits, which represent highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at purchase and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value due to interest rate, market price, or penalty on withdrawal.  We classify cash equivalents within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

Investments in Marketable Securities

The marketable securities portfolio consists of debt and equity securities.  We use the quoted prices of identical securities for all U.S. government securities and actively exchange-traded equity mutual funds.  We classify these securities in Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

If quoted market prices are not available for specific securities, or the investment is not actively traded, then we may estimate the value of such instruments using observed transaction prices, independent pricing services, and either internally or externally developed pricing models or discounted cash flows.  If independent pricing services are used, we validate the prices provided with other independent valuation sources.  Where there is limited market activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation model for certain collateralized mortgage and debt obligations, asset-backed securities, and high-yield debt securities, the determination of fair value may require benchmarking yields to that of similar instruments or analyzing default rates.  In addition, asset-backed securities may be valued based on external prices or market spreads, using current market assumptions on prepayment speeds and default rates. For certain other asset-backed securities where the external price is not observable, we may incorporate the deal collateral performance and tranche level attributes into our valuation analysis.  These securities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

We hold investments in actively exchange-traded equity mutual funds and private placement fixed income mutual funds. Where the funds produce a daily net asset value that is quoted in an active market, that value is used to value the fund investment and is classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Where the funds produce a daily net asset value that is based on a combination of quoted prices from identical and similar securities and/or observable inputs, the funds are classified within Level 2.

Derivatives

As part of our risk management strategy, we enter into derivative transactions to mitigate our interest rate and foreign currency exposures.  These derivative transactions are considered over-the-counter for valuation purposes.  All of our derivative counterparties to which we had credit exposure at December 31, 2011 were assigned investment grade ratings by a credit rating organization.

We estimate the fair value of our derivatives using industry standard valuation models that require observable market inputs, including market prices, yield curves, credit curves, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, volatilities and the contractual terms of the derivative instruments.  For derivatives that trade in liquid markets, such as interest rate swaps, model inputs can generally be verified and do not require significant management judgment.  These derivative instruments are classified in Level 2 of the valuation 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 pricing agent.  In addition, pricing is validated internally using valuation models to assess the reasonableness of changes in factors such as market prices, yield curves, credit curves, interest rates, foreign exchange rates and volatilities.  These derivative instruments are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Our derivative fair value measurements consider assumptions about counterparty credit risk and our own non-performance risk.  Generally, we assume that a valuation that uses the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) curve to convert future values to present value is appropriate for derivative assets and liabilities.  We consider counterparty credit risk and our own non-performance risk through credit valuation adjustments.  In situations in which our net position with a derivative counterparty is an asset, the counterparty credit valuation adjustment calculation uses the credit default probabilities of our derivative counterparties over a particular time period.  In situations in which our net position with a derivative counterparty is a liability, we use our own credit default probability to calculate the required non-performance credit valuation adjustment.  We use a relative fair value approach to allocate the credit valuation adjustments to our derivatives portfolio.

Finance Receivables

Our finance receivables are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis on the balance sheet.  In certain instances, for finance receivables for which there is evidence of impairment, we may measure impairment based on the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the underlying collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  The fair values of impaired finance receivables based on the collateral value or market prices where available are reported at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  We may consider additional adjustments to reflect current market conditions in estimating fair value.

Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
 
The following table summarizes our financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, by level within the fair value hierarchy.  Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

In instances where we meet the accounting guidance for set-off criteria, we elect to net derivative assets and derivative liabilities and the related cash collateral received and paid when legally enforceable master netting agreements exist.

Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

As of December 31, 2011, derivative assets were reduced by a counterparty credit valuation adjustment of $27 million and derivative liabilities were reduced by a non-performance credit valuation adjustment of $1 million. As of March 31, 2011, derivative assets were reduced by a counterparty credit valuation adjustment of $12 million and derivative liabilities were reduced by a non-performance credit valuation adjustment of $1 million.

The determination in classifying a financial instrument within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy is based upon the significance of unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement.  Transfers in and out of Level 3 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are recognized at the end of their respective reporting periods.  There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 securities during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

The following tables summarize the reconciliation for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:

Significant Changes to Level 3 Assets During the Period

Level 3 net assets, reported at fair value on a recurring basis increased $74 million and $4 million for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012.  The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the fair value of derivative assets, specifically foreign currency derivatives, due to the strengthening of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar during the first nine months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.

Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment.  For these assets, we disclose the fair value on a nonrecurring basis and any changes in fair value during the reporting period.  Fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis consisted of Level 3 net finance receivables within the dealer products portfolio segment individually evaluated for impairment of $155 million and $191 million as of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively.  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 from internal or external valuation sources.  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.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Changes

The total change in fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for which a fair value adjustment has been included in the Consolidated Statement of Income consisted of a gain on net finance receivables within the dealer products portfolio segment individually evaluated for impairment of $19 million and $4 million for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 and $22 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2011.  There was no corresponding gain or loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

Note 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The accounting guidance for financial instruments requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments as well as the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate their fair value.  Financial instruments that are within the scope of this accounting guidance are included in the table below.

The following is a description of financial instruments for which the ending balances as of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011 are not carried at fair value in their entirety on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Finance Receivables

Finance receivables primarily consist of retail and dealer loans. The fair value of finance receivables is generally determined by valuing expected discounted cash flows. We estimate cash flows expected to be collected using contractual principal and interest cash flows adjusted for specific factors, such as prepayments, default rates, loss severity, credit scores, and collateral type. A securitization model is used for valuing retail loans, and utilizes quoted secondary market rates if available, or estimated market rates that incorporate management's best estimate of investor assumptions about the portfolio. For dealer loans, we generally use a discounted cash flow model based on market rates for equivalent portfolio bond ratings.

Commercial Paper

The carrying value of commercial paper issued is assumed to approximate fair value due to its short duration and generally negligible credit risk.  We validate this assumption using quoted market prices where available.

Unsecured Notes and Loans Payable

We use quoted market prices for debt when available.  Where quoted market prices are unavailable, fair value is estimated based on current market rates and credit spreads for debt with similar maturities.

Note 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

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.

The carrying value and estimated fair value of certain financial instruments at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011 were as follows:

The carrying value of unsecured notes and loans payable represents the sum of unsecured notes and loans payable and carrying value adjustment.  Also included in unsecured notes and loans payable is $4.3 billion and $4.2 billion of loans payable to affiliates at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively, that are carried at amounts that approximate fair value.

Yields are based on the amortized cost balances of securities held at December 31, 2011.  Yields are derived by aggregating the monthly result of interest and dividend income (including the effect of related amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts) divided by amortized cost.  Equity instruments do not have a stated maturity date.

Securities on Deposit

In accordance with statutory requirements, we had on deposit with state insurance authorities U.S. debt securities with amortized cost and fair value of $6 million at both December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011.

Realized Gains and Losses on Sales of AFS Securities

Realized gains from the sale of AFS securities were $14 million and $2 million for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to gains of $58 million and $11 million for the same periods in fiscal 2011.  Realized losses from the sale of AFS securities were $41 million and $6 million for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to $18 million and $2 million for the same periods in fiscal 2011.

Note 5 – Finance Receivables, Net

Finance receivables, net consist of retail and dealer accounts including accrued interest and deferred costs, less the allowance for credit losses and unearned income.  Pledged retail receivables represent retail loan receivables that have been sold for legal purposes to securitization trusts but continue to be included in our consolidated financial statements.  Cash flows from these 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.

Credit Quality Indicators

We are exposed to credit risk on our finance receivables. Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from the failure of customers or dealers to meet the terms of their contracts with us or otherwise fail to perform as agreed.

Homogeneous Portfolio Segments

While we use various credit quality metrics to develop our allowance for credit losses on the retail loan and commercial portfolio segments, 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 indication of the credit quality of the underlying receivables.  Payment status also affects charge-offs.

Individual borrower accounts for each of the two classes of finance receivables within the homogeneous portfolio segment (retail and commercial loans) are segregated into one of four aging categories based on the number of days outstanding.  The aging for each class of finance receivables is updated quarterly.

Note 5 – Finance Receivables, Net (Continued)

Dealer Products Portfolio Segment

For the three classes of finance receivables within the dealer products portfolio segment (wholesale, real estate and working capital), all loans outstanding to an individual dealer, affiliated entity or dealership group are aggregated and evaluated collectively by dealer or dealership group.  This reflects the interconnected nature of financing provided to our individual dealer, affiliated entities and dealer group customers.

When assessing the credit quality of the finance receivables within the dealer products portfolio segment, we segregate the finance receivables account balances into four 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 a probability that default exists based on qualitative and quantitative factors.
·  
Default – Account is not currently meeting contractual obligations or we have temporarily waived certain contractual requirements.
 
The tables below show the recorded investment for each credit quality indicator by class of finance receivable as of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011:

As of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, all impaired finance receivables within the dealer products portfolio segment were on nonaccrual status and there were no charge-offs against the allowance for credit losses; therefore, the recorded investment in these finance receivables is equal to the unpaid principal balance.

Note 5 – Finance Receivables, Net (Continued)

Troubled Debt Restructuring

For accounts not under bankruptcy protection, the amount of finance receivables modified as a troubled debt restructuring during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 is not significant for each class of finance receivables.  Troubled debt restructurings for these accounts within the retail loan class of finance receivables are comprised exclusively of contract term extensions that reduce the monthly payment due from the customer, while accounts within the commercial class of finance receivables may consist of contract term extensions, interest rate adjustments, or a combination of the two.  For the three classes of finance receivables within the dealer products portfolio segment, troubled debt restructurings may include contract term extensions, interest rate adjustments, waivers of loan covenants, or any combination of the three.  No troubled debt restructurings of accounts not under bankruptcy protection included forgiveness of principal during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011.

We recognize finance receivables under bankruptcy protection within the retail loan and commercial classes as 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 the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, the financial impact of troubled debt restructurings related to accounts under bankruptcy protection was not significant to our Consolidated Statement of Income and Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Payment Defaults

Finance receivables modified as troubled debt restructurings for which there was a payment default during either the three or nine months ended December 31, 2011, and for which the modification occurred within twelve months of the payment default, were not significant for all classes of such receivables.

Note 8 – Derivatives, Hedging Activities and Interest Expense

Derivative Instruments

We use derivatives as part of our risk management strategy to hedge against changes in interest rate and foreign currency risks.  We manage these risks by entering into derivative transactions with the intent to minimize fluctuations in earnings, cash flows and fair value adjustments of assets and liabilities caused by market volatility.  We enter into derivatives for risk management purposes only, and our use of derivatives is limited to the management of interest rate and foreign currency risks.

Our derivative activities are authorized and monitored by our Asset-Liability Committee, which provides a framework for financial controls and governance to manage market risks.  We use internal models for analyzing and incorporating data from internal and external sources in developing various hedging strategies.  We incorporate the resulting hedging strategies into our overall risk management strategies.

Our approach to asset-liability management involves hedging our risk exposures so that changes in interest rates have a limited effect on our net interest margin and cash flows.  Our liabilities consist mainly of fixed and floating rate debt, denominated in various 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, foreign currency swaps and foreign currency forwards to hedge the interest rate and foreign currency risks that result from the different characteristics of our assets and liabilities.  Our resulting asset liability profile is consistent with the overall risk management strategy directed by the Asset-Liability Committee.  Gains and losses on these derivatives are recorded in interest expense.

Credit Risk Related Contingent Features

Certain of our derivative contracts are governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreements.  Substantially all of these ISDA Master Agreements contain reciprocal ratings triggers providing either party with an option to terminate the agreement at market value in the event of a ratings downgrade of the other party below a specified threshold.  These agreements require the transfer of collateral on either a monthly or daily basis depending on the counterparty.  Agreements which require monthly collateral exchanges contain provisions that lower the threshold at which that party would be required to post collateral to the other party upon specified downgrades in a party’s credit rating.  Under our agreements, which require daily transfers, the threshold for collateral transfers is zero.

The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments that contain credit risk related contingent features that were in a net liability position at December 31, 2011 was $39 million, excluding embedded derivatives and adjustments made for our own non-performance risk. In the normal course of business, we posted $24 million of collateral with counterparties with which we were in a net liability position at December 31, 2011.  If our credit ratings were to have declined to “A+”, we would not have been required to post any additional collateral.  However, if our ratings were to have declined to “BBB+” or below, we would have been required to post $37 million of additional collateral to the counterparties with which we were in a liability position at December 31, 2011.  In order to settle all derivative instruments that were in a net liability position at December 31, 2011, excluding embedded derivatives and adjustments made for our own non-performance risk, we would have been required to pay $39 million.

The commercial paper balance includes unamortized premium or discount.  Included in unsecured notes and loans payable are notes and loans denominated in various foreign currencies, unamortized premium or discount and the effects of foreign currency transaction gains and losses on non-hedged or de-designated foreign currency denominated notes and loans payable.  At December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the carrying value of these foreign currency notes payable was $22.0 billion and $27.0 billion, respectively.  Concurrent with the issuance of these foreign currency unsecured notes, we entered into foreign currency swaps in the same notional amount to convert non-U.S. currency payments to U.S. dollar denominated payments.

Additionally, the carrying value of our unsecured notes and loans payable at December 31, 2011 included $17.4 billion of unsecured floating rate debt with contractual interest rates ranging from 0 percent to 6.0 percent and $28.3 billion of unsecured fixed rate debt with contractual interest rates ranging from 0.5 percent to 9.4 percent.  The carrying value of our unsecured notes and loans payable at March 31, 2011 included $14.1 billion of unsecured floating rate debt with contractual interest rates ranging from 0 percent to 6.0 percent and $32.6 billion of unsecured fixed rate debt with contractual interest rates ranging from 0.3 percent to 15.3 percent.  Upon issuance of fixed rate notes, we generally elect to enter into interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate payments on notes to floating rate payments.

Our secured notes and loans payable are denominated in U.S. dollars and consist of both fixed and variable rate debt with interest rates ranging from 0.5 percent to 1.9 percent at both December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011.  Secured notes and loans are issued by on-balance sheet securitization trusts, as further discussed in Note 11 – Variable Interest Entities.  These notes are repayable only from collections on the underlying pledged receivables and related credit enhancements.

The carrying value adjustment on debt represents the effects of fair value adjustments to debt in hedging relationships, accrued redemption premiums, and the unamortized fair value adjustments on the hedged item for terminated fair value hedge accounting relationships.

As of December 31, 2011, our commercial paper had an average remaining maturity of 72 days, while our notes and loans payable mature on various dates through fiscal 2047.  Weighted average contractual interest rates are calculated based on original notional or par value before consideration of premium or discount.

We use one or more special purpose entities that are considered variable interest entities (“VIEs”) 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 from finance receivables that have been transferred to the VIEs.  Although the transferred finance receivables have been legally sold to the VIEs, 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 transferred receivables 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.

The assets of the consolidated securitization VIEs consisted of $9,911 million and $11,546 million in gross retail finance receivables at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively.  Net retail finance receivables, after consideration of deferred origination costs, unearned income and allowance for credit losses, were $9,742 million and $11,317 million as of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively.  In addition, TMCC held $598 million and $705 million in cash which represent collections from the underlying pledged receivables and certain reserve deposits held for the securitization trusts at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively.  We classified this cash as restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheet.  The liabilities of these consolidated VIEs consisted of $8,879 million and $10,626 million in secured debt, net of $548 million and $577 million of securities retained by TMCC, and $3 million and $3 million in other liabilities at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011.  The assets of the VIEs and the restricted cash 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 TMCC’s general credit, with the exception of customary representation and warranty repurchase provisions and indemnities.

As the primary beneficiary of these entities, we are exposed to credit, interest rate, and prepayment risk from the receivables transferred to 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 securitization trusts are obligated to pay TMCC a fixed rate of interest on certain payment dates in exchange for receiving a floating rate of interest on amounts equal to the outstanding balance of the secured debt.  This arrangement enables the securitization trusts to mitigate the interest rate risk inherent in issuing variable rate debt that is secured by fixed rate retail finance receivables.

The transfers of the receivables 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 Sheet.  We recognize financing revenue on the pledged receivables and interest expense on the secured debt issued by the trusts.  We also maintain an allowance for credit losses on the pledged receivables to cover probable credit losses estimated using a methodology consistent with that used for our non-securitized retail loan 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.

Note 12 – Liquidity Facilities and Letters of Credit

For additional liquidity purposes, we maintain syndicated bank credit facilities with certain banks.

364 Day Credit Agreement, Three Year Credit Agreement and Five Year Credit Agreement

In March 2011, TMCC, its subsidiary Toyota Credit de Puerto Rico Corp. (“TCPR”), and other Toyota affiliates entered into a $5.0 billion 364 day syndicated bank credit facility pursuant to a 364 Day Credit Agreement, a $5.0 billion three year syndicated bank credit facility pursuant to a Three Year Credit Agreement, and a $3.0 billion five year syndicated bank credit facility pursuant to a Five Year Credit Agreement.  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 consolidations, mergers and sales of assets.  These agreements may be used for general corporate purposes and none were drawn upon as of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011.

Committed Revolving Asset-backed Commercial Paper Facility

In January 2012, we renewed a 364 day revolving securitization facility with certain bank-sponsored asset-backed commercial paper conduits and other financial institutions (“funding agents”).  Under the terms of this facility, the funding agents are contractually committed, at our option, to purchase eligible retail finance receivables from us and make advances up to a facility limit of $3.0 billion.  At December 31, 2011, prior to the renewal, the facility limit was $4.0 billion.  This revolving facility allows us to obtain term funding up to the renewal date.  Any portion of the facility that is not renewed is repaid as the underlying assets amortize.  As of December 31, 2011, approximately $2.8 billion of this facility was utilized, including $378 million obtained during the first nine months of fiscal 2012.  We may obtain additional funding as we pay down the outstanding debt in conjunction with the amortization of transferred receivables, subject to having a sufficient amount of eligible receivables.

Other Credit Agreements

TMCC has additional bank credit facilities.  As of December 31, 2011, TMCC has committed bank credit facilities of $1 billion that mature in fiscal 2013 and $650 million that mature in fiscal 2014.  An uncommitted bank credit facility in the amount of $500 million matures in fiscal 2013.  These agreements contain covenants and conditions customary in transactions of this nature, including negative pledge provisions, cross-default provisions and limitations on consolidations, mergers and sales of assets.  These credit facilities were not drawn upon as of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011.

We are in compliance with the covenants and conditions of the credit agreements described above.

At December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, amounts outstanding under credit facilities with vehicle and industrial equipment dealers were $5.5 billion and $5.2 billion, respectively, and were recorded in Finance receivables, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  Minimum lease commitments include $46 million and $51 million in facilities lease commitments with affiliates at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively.  Wholesale financing demand note facilities are not considered to be contractual commitments as they are not binding arrangements under which TMCC is required to perform.  At December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, amounts outstanding under wholesale financing demand note facilities were $5.8 billion and $6.3 billion, respectively, and were recorded in Finance receivables, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Commitments

We provide fixed and variable rate credit facilities to vehicle and industrial equipment dealers.  These credit facilities are typically used for facilities refurbishment, real estate purchases, and working capital requirements.  These loans are generally collateralized with liens on real estate, and/or other dealership assets, as appropriate.  We obtain a personal guarantee from the vehicle or industrial equipment dealer or a corporate guarantee from the dealership 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.  We price the credit facilities to reflect the credit risks assumed in entering into the credit facility.  Amounts drawn under these facilities are periodically reviewed for collectability.  We also provide financing to various multi-franchise dealer organizations, often as part of a lending consortium, for wholesale, working capital, real estate, and business acquisitions.

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

We are party to a 15-year lease agreement, which expires in 2018, with Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. (“TMS”) for our headquarters location in the TMS headquarters complex in Torrance, California.  At December 31, 2011, minimum future commitments under lease agreements to which we are a lessee, including those under the agreement discussed above, are as follows: fiscal years ending March 31, 2012 - $4 million; 2013 - $18 million; 2014 - $15 million; 2015 - $12 million; 2016 - $11 million and thereafter - $20 million.

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 affiliates for any amounts paid.  TMCC receives an annual fee of $78,000 for guaranteeing such payments.  TMCC has not been required to perform under any of these affiliate bond guarantees as of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011.

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 would 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 December 31, 2011, we determined that it is not probable that we will be required to make any material payments in the future.  As of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, no amounts have been recorded under these indemnifications.

Litigation

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. 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 possible 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.  We believe, based on currently available information and established accruals, that the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Note 14 – Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 38 percent for the first nine months and third quarter of both fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011.  Our provision for income taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 was $828 million compared to $909 million for the same period in fiscal 2011.  This decrease in provision is consistent with the decrease in our income before tax for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 compared to the same period in fiscal 2011.

Tax-Related Contingencies

As of December 31, 2011, we remain under IRS examination for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012.  The IRS examination for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 through March 31, 2009 was concluded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 resulting in a refund of $105 million plus interest, received during the first quarter of fiscal 2012.  The IRS examination for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 was concluded in the first quarter of fiscal 2012; there was no impact on our tax liability.

We periodically review our uncertain tax positions. Our assessment is based on many factors including the ongoing IRS audits.  For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, our assessment did not result in a material change in unrecognized tax benefits.

Our deferred tax assets at December 31, 2011 were $2.4 billion compared to $2.5 billion at March 31, 2011, and were primarily due to the deferred deduction of allowance for credit losses and cumulative federal tax loss carryforwards that expire in varying amounts through fiscal year 2032. The total deferred tax liability at December 31, 2011, net of these deferred tax assets, was $5.2 billion compared with $4.4 billion at March 31, 2011.  Realization with respect to the federal tax loss carryforwards is dependent on generating sufficient income prior to expiration of the loss carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable could be reduced if management’s estimates change.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q or incorporated by reference herein are “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements are based on current expectations and currently available information.  However, since these statements are based on factors that involve risks and uncertainties, our performance and results may differ materially from those described or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “intend,” “will,” “may” or words or phrases of similar meaning are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  We caution that the forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the risk factors set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 (“fiscal 2011”), Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, and this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.  We will not update the forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting the forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

Key Performance Indicators and Factors Affecting Our Business

We generate revenue, income, and cash flows by providing retail financing, dealer financing, and certain other financial products and services to vehicle and industrial equipment dealers and their customers.  We measure the performance of our financing operations using the following metrics: financing volume, market share, financial leverage, financing margins and loss metrics.

We also generate revenue from our insurance operations by providing coverage to vehicle dealers and their customers for certain types of risks.  We measure the performance of our insurance operations using the following metrics: investment income, issued agreement volume, number of agreements in force, loss ratio and other loss metrics.  The loss ratio is derived by dividing insurance loss and loss adjustment expenses by insurance earned premium and contract revenues.

Our financial results are affected by a variety of economic and industry factors, including but not limited to, new and used vehicle markets, the level of Toyota and Lexus production and sales, new vehicle incentives, consumer behavior, level of employment, 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 the level of competitive pressure.  Changes in these factors can influence the demand for new and used vehicles, the number of contracts that default and the loss per occurrence, the inability to realize originally estimated contractual residual values on our lease earning assets, and our gross margins on financing volume.  Additionally, our funding programs and related costs are influenced by changes in the global capital markets and prevailing interest rates, as well as our credit ratings, which may affect our ability to obtain cost effective funding to support earning asset growth.

Fiscal 2012 First Nine Months Operating Environment

During the first nine months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012 (“fiscal 2012”), economic growth continued at a slow pace in the United States (“U.S.”).  The U.S. economy remained fragile due to weakness in consumer confidence and spending and an elevated level of unemployment.  Home values remained depressed and commodity prices continued to fluctuate, negatively impacting household wealth. Headwinds in the global economy and sovereign debt challenges also continue to weigh on the U.S. economy.  While manufacturing production showed improvement during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 and the labor market showed some signs of improvement at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2012, these trends were insufficient to offset weaknesses in the consumer sector.

Conditions in the global capital markets deteriorated and market volatility increased during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 compared to the same period in fiscal 2011 due to fiscal concerns in the U.S. and other global markets.  Concerns over potential European sovereign debt defaults and bank capital adequacy have contributed to market volatility.  Despite the challenging fixed income market conditions, we continue to maintain broad access to both domestic and international markets.  Deterioration in U.S. economic conditions, lack of meaningful progress in the U.S. fiscal and budget reform process, or U.S. or other major sovereign credit ratings downgrades could potentially have an adverse impact on market conditions in the future.

Industry-wide vehicle sales in the United States increased during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior year while sales incentives throughout the auto industry decreased over the same period.  However, vehicle sales by Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. (“TMS”) decreased 11 percent in the first nine months of fiscal 2012 compared to the same period in fiscal 2011.  The decline in TMS sales was attributable to manufacturing disruptions and production suspensions of certain Toyota and Lexus vehicle models and related parts supply that resulted from natural disasters occurring in Japan in March 2011 and in Thailand in October 2011.  During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, production of Toyota and Lexus vehicles returned to pre-disaster levels.  The reduction in the availability of new Toyota and Lexus vehicles negatively affected our financing volume, earning assets and revenues during the first nine months of fiscal 2012.  In response to the supply disruptions that began in March 2011, we implemented special programs designed to assist our retail customers and vehicle dealers.

Prices of used vehicles remained near an all-time high during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 primarily due to the low supply of used vehicles.  The reduction in the availability of new Toyota and Lexus vehicles had the effect of increasing demand for certain used Toyota and Lexus vehicles, which further supported the favorable trend in used Toyota and Lexus vehicle values.  The combination of low used vehicle supply and reduced availability of new Toyota and Lexus vehicles also favorably impacted our credit losses, and contributed to lower lease return rates and per unit loss severity during the first nine months of fiscal 2012.

Our consolidated net income was $1,348 million and $432 million for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012, compared with $1,465 million and $626 million for the same periods in fiscal 2011.  Our consolidated results for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 decreased as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2011 primarily due to decreases in total financing revenue and investment and other income, partially offset by decreases in interest expense and operating and administrative expenses.  Our consolidated results were also affected by a decrease in our benefit from credit losses for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 and an increase in our provision for credit losses for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year.

Our overall capital position, including the payment of a $741 million dividend in September of 2011 to TFSA, increased by $0.6 billion, bringing total shareholder’s equity to $7.5 billion at December 31, 2011, as compared to $6.9 billion at March 31, 2011.  Our debt decreased to $75.8 billion at December 31, 2011 from $77.3 billion at March 31, 2011.  We experienced an improvement in our debt-to-equity ratio to 10.1 at December 31, 2011 from 11.3 at March 31, 2011.

1  Includes direct finance lease revenues.
 

Our finance operations reported net income of $1,243 million and $378 million for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to $1,274 million and $525 million for the same periods in fiscal 2011.  The decrease in net income was primarily due to decreases in total financing revenues, partially offset by declines in interest expense and operating and administrative expenses.  Our consolidated results were also affected by a decrease in our benefit from credit losses for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 and an increase in our provision for credit losses for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year.

Financing Revenues

Total financing revenues decreased 7 percent and 9 percent during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2011 due to the following factors:

·  
Operating lease revenues decreased 3 percent and 6 percent in the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared with the same periods in fiscal 2011, primarily due to a decrease in portfolio yields partially offset by a higher average outstanding earning asset balance.

·  
Retail contract revenues decreased 15 percent and 16 percent in the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared with the same periods in fiscal 2011, primarily due to a decrease in portfolio yields.

·  
Dealer financing revenues decreased 6 percent and 3 percent in the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared with the same periods in fiscal 2011, primarily due to lower average outstanding earning asset balances.

 
55

 
 
Our total finance receivables portfolio yield was 4.9 percent and 4.7 percent during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to 5.6 percent and 5.4 percent for the same periods in fiscal 2011 due primarily to decreases in our retail portfolio yields.

Depreciation on Operating Leases

Depreciation on operating leases remained consistent during the first nine months and decreased 3 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2011.  The decrease in depreciation was attributable to a 4 percent decrease in average operating lease units outstanding and the effect of strong used vehicle values.  Improvements in used vehicle values, due primarily to lower used vehicle supply, resulted in an increase to the estimated end-of-term residual values of the existing portfolio.

 
56

 

Interest Expense

Our liabilities consist mainly of fixed and floating rate debt, denominated in various 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, foreign currency swaps and foreign currency forwards to hedge the interest rate and foreign currency risks that result from the different characteristics of our assets and liabilities.  The following table summarizes the consolidated components of interest expense:

1  Amounts represent net interest settlements and changes in accruals.
2  Includes both hedge and non-hedge accounting derivatives.
3  Amounts exclude net interest settlements and changes in accruals.
4  Excludes $3 million of interest on intercompany bonds held by our insurance operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2012.  There was no interest on intercompany bonds
   held by our insurance operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 as the bonds are no longer outstanding.  Excludes $5  million and $1 million of interest on intercompany
   bonds held by our insurance operations for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2011, respectively.  Refer to Note 16 – Segment Information of the Notes to
   Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
 
Total interest expense decreased from $1,318 million and $234 million during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2011, respectively, to $769 million and $163 million during the same periods of fiscal 2012.  The reduction in interest expense resulted primarily from net valuation gains that occurred as a result of a decline in swap rates during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2012.

Interest expense on debt primarily represents interest due on secured and unsecured notes and loans payable and commercial paper, and includes amortization of discount and premium, debt issuance costs, and basis adjustments.  Interest expense on debt decreased to $1,295 million and $409 million during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012, respectively, from $1,476 million and $486 million in the same periods in fiscal 2011 primarily as a result of lower contractual interest rates on debt.

Interest expense on derivatives represents net interest settlements and accruals on interest rate and foreign currency derivatives.  During the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012, we recorded net expense of $7 million and $8 million, respectively, compared to net income of $9 million and $24 million during the same periods of fiscal 2011.  The increase in interest expense on derivatives during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011 resulted primarily from lower average receive rates on interest rate and currency swaps used to economically hedge fixed rate debt.

 
57

 

Gain or loss on foreign currency transactions represents the revaluation of foreign currency denominated debt transactions for which hedge accounting has not been elected.  We use foreign currency swaps and foreign currency forwards to economically hedge these foreign currency transactions.  During the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012, we recorded combined gains of $368 million and $44 million on foreign currency transactions and the associated foreign currency swaps, as compared to gains of $155 million and losses of $47 million during the same periods in fiscal 2011.  The increase in net gains primarily resulted from declines in foreign currency swap rates during fiscal 2012.

We recorded gains of $158 million and $210 million on non-hedge accounting interest rate swaps during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to losses of $29 million and gains of $264 million during the same periods of fiscal 2011.   The net gains on these swaps primarily resulted from a decline in long-term swap rates during fiscal 2012.

Provision for Credit Losses

We recorded a benefit from credit losses of $136 million and a provision for credit losses of $56 million for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012, respectively, compared to a benefit from credit losses of $479 million and $176 million for the same periods of fiscal 2011.  The benefit from credit losses for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 was attributable to low levels of per unit loss severity, delinquencies, default frequency and net charge-offs in our consumer portfolio.  These factors had a lesser impact in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2012 and were not significant enough to offset charge-offs.  As a result, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $56 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

Despite some softening in the latter part of the second quarter of fiscal 2012, used vehicle prices remained near an all-time high during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012.  The elevated price levels were driven primarily by the low supply of used vehicles, which contributed to lower loss severity as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2011.  In addition, the overall credit quality of our consumer portfolio in the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 continued to benefit from our ongoing focus on purchasing practices and collection efforts.  As a result, our net charge-offs improved during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2011.  Our delinquencies at December 31, 2011 also improved compared to delinquencies at December 31, 2010 despite a slight increase from March 31, 2011, reflecting typical seasonal patterns.

The favorable trends in per unit loss severity, delinquencies, default frequency and net charge-offs that contributed to the benefit from credit losses for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 reflect patterns of credit behavior different from our historical patterns.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that these favorable trends will continue.

Our insurance operations reported net income of $105 million and $54 million during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012, respectively, compared to $191 million and $101 million during the same periods in fiscal 2011.  The decreases in net income for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2011 were attributable to a decrease in investment and other income, and an increase in insurance loss and loss adjustment expenses, partially offset by an increase in insurance earned premiums and contract revenues.

Agreements issued decreased by 44 percent and 50 percent during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2011.  The decrease was primarily due to the discontinuation of affiliate agreements issued in support of special TMS sales and customer loyalty programs in January 2011.

Insurance earned premiums and contract revenues are affected by sales volume as well as the level, age, and mix of agreements in force.  Agreements in force represent active insurance policies written and contracts issued.  Insurance earned premiums and contract revenues represent revenues from the agreements in force.

Our insurance operations reported insurance earned premiums and contract revenues of $464 million and $154 million during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012, respectively, compared to $413 million and $147 million during the same periods in fiscal 2011.  The increase in insurance earned premiums and contract revenues was primarily due to the level and age of agreements in force due to special TMS sales and customer loyalty programs issued during fiscal 2011 and still in force during fiscal 2012.


 
59

 

Our insurance operations reported investment and other income of $62 million and $50 million during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012, respectively, compared to $178 million and $109 million during the same periods in fiscal 2011.  Investment and other income consists primarily of investment income on marketable securities.  The decrease in investment and other income was primarily due to higher net realized losses from the sale of securities and lower interest and dividend income received.  Refer to “Investment and Other Income” below for a more detailed discussion on our consolidated investment portfolio.

Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred are a function of the amount of covered risks, the frequency and severity of claims associated with the agreements in force, 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.

Our insurance operations reported $247 million and $78 million of insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $177 million and $61 million during the same periods in fiscal 2011.  The increase in insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses is primarily due to higher claim frequency and severity experienced in our prepaid vehicle maintenance programs.

Insurance dealer back-end program expenses are incentives or expense reduction programs we provide to dealers based on their sales volume or underwriting performance.  Insurance dealer back-end program expenses remained relatively flat during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2011.

Interest and dividend income on marketable securities decreased during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 due to lower annual dividends received on marketable securities as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

We reported realized losses on marketable securities of $27 million and $4 million during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to gains of $41 million and $10 million for the same periods in the prior year.  The losses were primarily due to losses recognized on equity securities sold during the second and third quarter of fiscal 2012.

Operating expenses decreased during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2011 due to decreases in shared affiliate expenses for sales and marketing activities.  Refer to Note 15 – Related Party Transactions of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the corresponding note in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2011 for further information.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 was $828 million and $266 million compared to $909 million and $387 million for the same periods in fiscal 2011.  Our effective tax rate was 38 percent for the first nine months and third quarter of both fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011.  The change in our provision for income taxes is broadly consistent with the change in operating income in the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2011.

Vehicle Financing Volume

The volume of our retail and lease contracts, which are acquired primarily from Toyota and Lexus vehicle dealers, is dependent upon TMS sales volume and subvention.  Natural disasters that occurred in Japan in March 2011 and Thailand in October 2011 caused manufacturing disruptions and production suspensions of certain Toyota and Lexus vehicle models and parts.  As a result, vehicle sales by TMS decreased 11 percent for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 and 2 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2011.

Our financing volume and market share decreased in the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2011.  The lower level of volume was driven primarily by the decreased supply of new Toyota and Lexus vehicles and a lower level of TMS subvention programs.  The decreased market share was driven primarily by a lower level of TMS subvention programs.  TMS subvention levels declined as lower supply of new vehicles and new product launches by TMS decreased the need for subvention.

Retail Contract Volume and Earning Assets

Our overall new and used retail contract volume decreased during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2011.  Much of the decrease was attributable to a decrease in overall TMS vehicle sales and subvention.  While average outstanding balances increased during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2011, retail finance receivables, net at December 31, 2011 remained consistent as compared to the balance at March 31, 2011, as the dollar volume of vehicle financing offset portfolio liquidations.

Lease Contract Volume and Earning Assets

Our overall vehicle lease contract volume during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 decreased as compared to the same period in fiscal 2011.  Vehicle lease contract volume is affected by the level of Toyota and Lexus vehicle sales, the availability of subvention programs, and changes in the interest rate environment.  Much of the decrease during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 was attributable to a decrease in TMS sales and subvention levels.  Our investment in operating leases, net decreased slightly at December 31, 2011 as compared to the balance at March 31, 2011 due to lower contract volume.

Dealer Financing and Earning Assets

Dealer financing, net decreased 3 percent from March 31, 2011, primarily due to decreases in dealer inventory.  The lower level of dealer inventory was attributable to manufacturing disruptions and production suspensions of certain Toyota and Lexus vehicle models that resulted from natural disasters occurring in Japan in March 2011 and Thailand in October 2011.  The total number of dealers receiving financing remained relatively stable as compared to March 31, 2011.

Residual Value Risk

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 vehicle lease return rates and loss severity.

We periodically review the estimated end-of-term residual values of leased vehicles to assess the appropriateness of our carrying values.  To the extent the estimated end-of-term value of a leased vehicle is lower than the residual value established at lease inception, the estimated 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.  These adjustments are made over time for operating leases by recording depreciation expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income.  Gains or losses on vehicles sold at lease termination are also recorded in depreciation expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Depreciation expense on operating leases remained consistent during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2011, primarily because the total number of operating lease units outstanding remained relatively consistent over those periods.  Depreciation expense can also be affected by changes in the used vehicle market because used vehicle market trends are a significant factor in estimating end-of-term market values.  Used vehicle values remained near an all-time high during the first nine months of fiscal 2012; however, sustainability of these levels is uncertain.

Credit Risk

Credit Loss Experience

The overall credit quality of our consumer portfolio in the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 continued to benefit from our focus on purchasing practices and collection efforts.  In addition, subvention contributes to our overall portfolio quality, as subvened contracts typically have better credit quality than non-subvened contracts.  These factors, combined with strong used vehicle values, contributed to decreased levels of default, delinquency and net charge-offs during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2011.

1  Net charge-off ratios have been annualized using nine month results for the periods ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
2  Substantially all retail, direct finance lease and operating lease receivables do not involve recourse to the dealer in the event of customer default.
3  Includes accounts in bankruptcy and excludes accounts for which vehicles have been repossessed.

The level of credit losses primarily reflects two factors: default frequency and loss severity.  Default frequency as a percentage of average outstanding contracts decreased to 1.40 percent during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 compared to 2.50 percent during the same period in fiscal 2011.  Our continued focus on purchasing practices and collection efforts has contributed to the improvement in default frequency.  Strong used vehicle prices also positively affected default frequency as some customers, who otherwise may have defaulted, were able to sell their vehicles in order to pay off their finance contracts.  In addition, we experienced lower loss severity as prices of used vehicles remained near an all time high and positively affected net loss per charged-off unit during the first nine months of fiscal 2012.

The manufacturing disruptions and production suspensions resulting from the natural disasters that occurred in Japan in March 2011 and Thailand in October 2011 lowered the availability of new vehicles and further supported used vehicle values.  As a result, our level of net charge-offs for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012 decreased significantly compared with the same periods in the prior year.  Net charge-offs as a percentage of average gross earning assets decreased from 0.55 percent at December 31, 2010 to 0.21 percent at December 31, 2011.

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 involves significant assumptions, complex analysis, and management judgment.

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 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 first aggregating dealer financing receivables into loan-risk pools, which are determined based on the risk characteristics of the loan (e.g. secured by either vehicles and industrial equipment, real estate or dealership assets, or unsecured).  We then analyze dealer pools using an internally developed risk rating system.  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.

The following table provides information related to our allowance for credit losses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:

During the first nine months of fiscal 2012, our allowance for credit losses decreased $259 million from $879 million at March 31, 2011 to $620 million at December 31, 2011.  The decline in our allowance for credit losses was driven by improvements in per unit loss severity and default frequency.  The improvement in per unit loss severity was attributable to higher used vehicle values.  Prices of used vehicles remained near an all-time high during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 primarily due to the low supply of used vehicles.  In addition, the reduction in availability of new Toyota and Lexus vehicles resulting from the manufacturing disruptions caused by natural disasters in Japan in March of 2011 and Thailand in October 2011 increased demand for certain used Toyota and Lexus vehicles.  The increased demand further supported the favorable trend in used vehicle values.  Our continued focus on purchasing practices and collection efforts contributed to the improvement in default frequency and related delinquency trends.  Strong used vehicle prices also positively affected default frequency as some customers, who otherwise may have defaulted, were able to sell their vehicles in order to pay off their finance contracts.  As a result, our net charge-offs improved significantly during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2011.
 
 
67

 
 
During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, our allowance decreased $3 million from $623 million at September 30, 2011 to $620 million at December 31, 2011.  We continue to benefit from low levels of per unit loss severity, delinquencies, default frequency and net charge offs in the first nine months of fiscal 2012.   The benefit from these factors had a lesser impact in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2012 and was not significant enough to offset charge-offs.  As a result, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $56 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

The favorable levels in our per unit loss severity, delinquencies, default frequency and net charge-offs reflect patterns of credit behavior different from our historical patterns and levels.  An unusual combination of factors including the low supply of used vehicles, the impact of the natural disasters occurring in Japan and Thailand, and an extended period of economic uncertainty have contributed to these trends.  We considered these factors as well as our historical seasonal patterns in establishing our allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2011.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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 balance sheet.  This strategy has led us to develop a borrowing base that is diversified by market and geographic distribution, type of security, investor type, and type of financing vehicle, among other factors.

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 maintaining direct relationships with wholesale market funding providers and commercial paper investors, and maintaining the ability to sell certain assets when and if conditions warrant.

We develop and maintain contingency funding plans and evaluate our liquidity position under various operating circumstances, allowing us to ensure that 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. Our funding volume is primarily based on expected net change in earning assets and debt maturities.

 
69

 

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, 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 $9.1 billion to $11.1 billion with an average balance of $10.2 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2012.
 
We may lend to or 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.

Credit support is provided to us by our indirect parent Toyota Financial Services Corporation (“TFSC”), and, in turn to TFSC by Toyota Motor Corporation (“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 guarantees by TMC of any securities or obligations of TFSC or TMCC.

TMC’s obligations under its credit support agreement with TFSC rank pari passu with TMC’s senior unsecured debt obligations.  Refer to Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 for further discussion.

We routinely monitor global financial conditions and our financial exposure to our global counterparties.  Specifically, we focused on those countries experiencing significant economic, fiscal or political strain and the corresponding likelihood of default.  During the reporting period, we identified five countries for which these conditions exist; Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain.  We do not currently have exposure to these or other European sovereign counterparties.  As of December 31, 2011, our gross non-sovereign exposures to investments in marketable securities and derivatives counterparty positions in the countries identified were not material, either individually or collectively.  We also maintain a total of $18 billion in committed and uncommitted syndicated and bilateral credit facilities for our liquidity purposes.  As of December 31, 2011, less than 9 percent of such commitments were from counterparties in the countries identified.  Refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Liquidity Facilities and Letters of Credit” section and “Item 1A. Risk Factors - The failure or commercial soundness of our counterparties and other financial institutions may have an effect on our liquidity, operating results or financial condition” for further discussion.

Commercial Paper

Short-term funding needs are met through the issuance of commercial paper in the United States.  Commercial paper outstanding under our commercial paper programs ranged from approximately $18.6 billion to $21.5 billion during the quarter ended December 31, 2011, with an average outstanding balance of $20.1 billion.  Our commercial paper programs are supported by the liquidity resources held by or available to us and the credit support discussed under the heading “Liquidity Facilities and Letters of Credit”.  We believe we have ample capacity to meet our short-term funding requirements and manage our liquidity.

5  Consists of fixed and floating rate debt.  Upon the issuance of fixed rate debt, we generally elect to enter into pay float interest rate swaps.  Refer to “Derivative Instruments”
   for further discussion.

We maintain a shelf registration statement with the SEC to provide for the issuance of unsecured 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 March 1, 2012.  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 provisions.  We are in compliance with these covenants.

 
71

 

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 2011, 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 billion or the equivalent in other currencies, of which €32.4 billion was available for issuance at December 31, 2011.  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.  Debt securities issued under our EMTN program prior to October 2007 are also subject to cross-default provisions.  We are in compliance with these covenants.

In addition, we may issue other debt securities or enter into other unsecured financing arrangements through the domestic and international capital markets.

Secured Notes and Loans Payable

Overview

Asset-backed securitization of our earning asset portfolio provides us with an alternative source of funding.  Our current securitization program includes the following types of transactions backed by retail finance receivables: 1) public term securitization, 2) amortizing asset-backed commercial paper conduits and 3) revolving asset-backed commercial paper conduits.  We will continue to evaluate the market for asset-backed securities in considering our funding strategies in the future.

The securitization transactions discussed above involve the transfer of discrete pools of auto retail installment sale contracts to bankruptcy-remote special purpose entities.  These bankruptcy-remote entities are used in an effort to ensure that the securitized assets are isolated from the claims of creditors of TMCC and that the cash flows from the auto retail installment sale contracts are available solely for the benefit of the investors.  Investors in asset-backed securities do not have recourse to our other assets, and neither TMCC nor our affiliates guarantee the obligations issued by any securitization trusts.  We are not required to repurchase receivables from the trusts that become delinquent or default after securitization.  As seller and servicer of the receivables, we are required to repurchase receivables that are subsequently discovered not to have met specified eligibility requirements.  This repurchase obligation is customary in securitization transactions.

We service the securitized receivables in accordance with our customary servicing practices and procedures.  Our servicing duties include collecting payments on receivables 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 receivables, including collections, investor distributions, delinquencies, and credit losses.  We also perform administrative services for the trusts.

 
72

 

Our use of special purpose entities in securitizations is consistent with conventional practice in the securitization market.  None of our officers, directors, or employees holds any equity interests or receives 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.

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 amount 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 and 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 pledged receivables with relatively low contractual interest rates.
·  
 
Subordinated notes:  The subordination of principal and interest payments on subordinated notes provides additional credit enhancement to holders of senior notes.

In addition to the credit enhancement described above, we may enter into interest rate swaps with special purpose entities that issue variable rate debt.  Under the terms of these swaps, the securitization trusts 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 debt.  This arrangement enables the securitization trusts to mitigate the interest rate risk inherent in issuing variable rate debt that is secured by fixed rate retail finance receivables.

The transfer of the receivables to special purpose entities is considered a sale for legal purposes.  However, the securitized assets and the related debt remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.  We recognize financing revenue on the pledged receivables and interest expense on the secured debt issued by the securitization trusts.  We also maintain an allowance for credit losses on the pledged receivables to cover estimated probable credit losses using a methodology consistent with that used for our non-securitized retail receivable 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.  The following securitized transactions are on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 
73

 

Public Term Securitization

Since 1993, we have sponsored 20 public securitization trusts backed by retail finance receivables which have issued more than $20 billion of securities, including registered securities that we retained.  None of these securities has defaulted, experienced any events of default or failed to pay principal in full at maturity.

We maintain a shelf registration statement with the SEC to provide for the issuance of securities backed by auto retail installment sales contracts in the U.S. capital markets.  Funding obtained from our public term securitization transactions is repaid as the underlying finance receivables amortize.  In addition, we retained certain securities from these transactions and may sell them at any time.

We filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC to provide for the issuance of securities backed by auto leases which became effective in October 2011.  We have not yet executed any lease securitization transaction under this registration statement.

Amortizing Asset-backed Commercial Paper Conduits

We executed private securitization transactions of retail finance receivables with bank-sponsored multi-seller asset-backed conduits.  During the first nine months of fiscal 2012, these transactions provided us with approximately $1.8 billion in funding which will be repaid as the underlying finance receivables amortize.

 
74

 

Liquidity Facilities and Letters of Credit

For additional liquidity purposes, we maintain syndicated bank credit facilities with certain banks.

364 Day Credit Agreement, Three Year Credit Agreement and Five Year Credit Agreement

In March 2011, TMCC, its subsidiary Toyota Credit de Puerto Rico Corp. (“TCPR”), and other Toyota affiliates entered into a $5.0 billion 364 day syndicated bank credit facility pursuant to a 364 Day Credit Agreement, a $5.0 billion three year syndicated bank credit facility pursuant to a Three Year Credit Agreement, and a $3.0 billion five year syndicated bank credit facility pursuant to a Five Year Credit Agreement.  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 consolidations, mergers and sales of assets.  These agreements may be used for general corporate purposes and none were drawn upon as of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011.

Committed Revolving Asset-backed Commercial Paper Facility

In January 2012, we renewed a 364 day revolving securitization facility with certain bank-sponsored asset-backed commercial paper conduits and other financial institutions (“funding agents”).  Under the terms of this facility, the funding agents are contractually committed, at our option, to purchase eligible retail finance receivables from us and make advances up to a facility limit of $3.0 billion.  At December 31, 2011, prior to the renewal, the facility limit was $4.0 billion.  This revolving facility allows us to obtain term funding up to the renewal date.  Any portion of the facility that is not renewed is repaid as the underlying assets amortize.  As of December 31, 2011, approximately $2.8 billion of this facility was utilized, including $378 million obtained during the first nine months of fiscal 2012.  We may obtain additional funding as we pay down the outstanding debt in conjunction with the amortization of transferred receivables, subject to having a sufficient amount of eligible receivables.  Our utilization and renewal strategies are driven by economic considerations as well as our funding and liquidity needs.
 
Other Credit Agreements

TMCC has additional bank credit facilities.  As of December 31, 2011, TMCC has committed bank credit facilities of $1 billion that mature in fiscal 2013 and $650 million that mature in fiscal 2014.  An uncommitted bank credit facility in the amount of $500 million matures in fiscal 2013.  These agreements contain covenants and conditions customary in transactions of this nature, including negative pledge provisions, cross-default provisions and limitations on consolidations, mergers and sales of assets.  These credit facilities were not drawn upon as of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011.

We are in compliance with the covenants and conditions of the credit agreements described above.

 
75

 

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.  See “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” in our fiscal 2011 Form 10-K.

 
76

 

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Risk Management Strategy

We use derivatives as part of our risk management strategy to hedge against changes in interest rate and foreign currency risks.  We manage these risks by entering into derivative transactions with the intent to minimize fluctuations in earnings, cash flows and fair value adjustments of assets and liabilities caused by market volatility.  We enter into derivatives for risk management purposes only, and our use of derivatives is limited to the management of interest rate and foreign currency risks.

Our derivative activities are authorized and monitored by our Asset-Liability Committee, which provides a framework for financial controls and governance to manage market risks.  We use internal models for analyzing and incorporating data from internal and external sources in developing various hedging strategies.  We incorporate the resulting hedging strategies into our overall risk management strategies.

Our liabilities consist mainly of fixed and floating rate debt, denominated in various currencies, which we issue in the global capital markets.  We hedge the risks inherent in these fixed rate and foreign currency denominated liabilities by entering into pay float interest rate swaps, foreign currency swaps, and foreign currency forwards, which effectively convert our obligations into U.S. dollar-denominated, 3-month LIBOR-based payments.  Gains and losses on these derivatives are recorded in interest expense in our Consolidated Statement of Income.

Our assets consist primarily of U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate receivables.  Our approach to asset-liability management involves hedging our risk exposures so that changes in interest rates have a limited effect on our net interest margin and cash flows.  We use interest rate swaps and caps, executed on a portfolio basis, to manage the interest rate risk of these assets.  Our resulting asset-liability profile is consistent with the overall risk management strategy directed by the Asset-Liability Committee.  Gains and losses on these derivatives are recorded in interest expense in our Consolidated Statement of Income.

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 settle positive and negative 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 the Consolidated Statement of Income.

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.

 
77

 

We may also, from time-to-time, issue debt which can be characterized as hybrid financial instruments. These obligations often contain an embedded derivative.  Changes in the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative or the entire hybrid financial instrument are reported in interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income.  Refer to Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our fiscal 2011 Form 10-K, and Note 8 –Derivatives, Hedging Activities and Interest Expense in this Form 10-Q for additional information.

   Credit Risk” section for more details.

The decrease in net derivative assets as of December 31, 2011 compared to March 31, 2011, are primarily the result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to certain other currencies in which our foreign currency swaps are denominated.  Refer to the “Interest Expense” section above for further discussion.

 
78

 

Counterparty Credit Risk

We manage 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 derivatives counterparties to which we had credit exposure at December 31, 2011 were assigned investment grade ratings by a credit rating organization.  In addition, we require counterparties that are or become rated BBB+ or lower to fully collateralize their net derivative exposures with us.  Our counterparty credit risk could be adversely affected by deterioration of the United States economy and financial distress in the banking industry.

Our International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreements contain reciprocal collateral arrangements which help mitigate our exposure to the credit risk associated with our counterparties.  We perform valuations of our position with each counterparty and transfer cash collateral on either a monthly or daily basis depending on the counterparty.  For the counterparties with monthly exchanges, that counterparty is required to transfer cash collateral in excess of a specified threshold to the counterparty if the market value of either counterparty’s net derivatives position exceeds the specified threshold.  In addition, if either party under an ISDA Master Agreement, in its reasonable opinion, believes there has been a material decline in the creditworthiness of the other party, it can call for more frequent collateral transfers.  For all counterparties with which we operate on a daily collateral exchange, the threshold for collateral transfers is zero, which significantly reduces counterparty credit risk exposure.  Under our ISDA Master Agreements, we are only obligated to exchange cash collateral.  Neither we nor our counterparties are required to hold the collateral in a segregated account.  Our collateral arrangements include legal right of offset provisions, pursuant to which collateral amounts are netted against derivative assets or derivative liabilities, which are included in other assets or other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In addition, many of our ISDA Master Agreements contain reciprocal ratings triggers providing either party with an option to terminate the agreement and related transactions at market value in the event of a ratings downgrade below a specified threshold.  Refer to “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our fiscal 2011 Form 10-K for further discussion.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We have omitted this section pursuant to General Instruction H(2) of Form 10-Q.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2011, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules, regulations, and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company completed the implementation of a new loan origination system in our dealer sales and services offices.  This new system automates certain validations previously executed manually in the contract acquisition process.

There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Litigation

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. 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 possible 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.  We believe, based on currently available information and established accruals, that the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

 
82

 

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS

In addition to the information contained in this report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the following risks may affect us.
 
The failure or commercial soundness of our counterparties and other financial institutions may have an effect on our liquidity, operating results 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.  Deterioration of social, political, labor, or economic conditions in a specific country or region, such as current uncertainties relating to European sovereign and non-sovereign debt, 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, operating results or financial condition.
