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, 2012 and 2011 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, 2012 do not necessarily indicate the results which may be expected for the full fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”).

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, 2012 (“fiscal 2012”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 6, 2012.  References herein to “TMCC” denote Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, and references herein to “we”, “our”, and “us” denote Toyota Motor Credit Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  Related party transactions presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements are disclosed in Note 14 – Related Party Transactions of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 available, including in the event of default or bankruptcy.  However, the guidance adds new disclosure requirements to improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received.  In January 2013, the FASB further clarified that the scope of this guidance applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions.  The accounting guidance is effective for us on April 1, 2013.  The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued additional guidance on the presentation of items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income.  The standard would not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, the guidance would require an entity to provide enhanced disclosures to present separately by component reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income.  The accounting guidance is effective for us on April 1, 2013.  The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 1 – Interim Financial Data (Continued)

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In April 2012, we adopted new FASB accounting guidance which requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements.  We have elected to present comprehensive income in two separate but consecutive statements.  The application of this guidance primarily affected the presentation of our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements

The following tables summarize our financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, 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.

Derivative assets were reduced by a counterparty credit valuation adjustment of $1 million and $3 million as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively.  Derivative liabilities were reduced by a non-performance credit valuation adjustment of less than $1 million as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012.

Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of their respective reporting periods.  During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, $53 million of U.S. government and agency obligations were valued using quoted prices for identical securities traded in an active market and were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1.  Additionally, during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, certain available-for-sale debt instruments were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to reduced transparency of market price quotations for these and/or comparable instruments.  There were no transfers during the three months ended December 31, 2012.

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, 2012 and 2011:

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Nonrecurring fair value measurements consist of Level 3 net finance receivables that are individually evaluated for impairment.  These assets are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are subject to fair value adjustments when there is evidence of impairment.  For these assets, we record the fair value on a nonrecurring basis and disclose changes in fair value during the reporting period.  Total nonrecurring fair value measurements of $216 million and $166 million were recorded as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively.

The total change in fair value of financial instruments subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements for which a fair value adjustment has been included in the Consolidated Statement of Income consisted of net gains on net finance receivables within the dealer products portfolio segment of $2 million for both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and $4 million and $19 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, respectively.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012

At December 31, 2012, our Level 3 financial instruments subject to recurring fair value measurement consisted of available-for-sale securities of $42 million, derivative assets of $91 million and derivative liabilities of $25 million.  At March 31, 2012, our Level 3 financial instruments subject to recurring fair value measurement consisted of available-for-sale securities of $21 million, derivative assets of $92 million and derivative liabilities of $34 million.  The fair value measurements of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities subject to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurement, and the corresponding change in the fair value measurements of these assets and liabilities, were not significant to our Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Income as of and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and as of and for the year ended March 31, 2012.

Yields are based on the amortized cost balances of securities held at December 31, 2012.  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, 2012 and March 31, 2012.

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.

Retail Loan and Commercial 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 indicator of the credit quality of the underlying receivables.  Payment status also impacts charge-offs.

Individual borrower accounts for each class of finance receivables within the retail loan and commercial portfolio segments 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.

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 for an individual dealer or dealership group, and affiliated entities, are aggregated and evaluated collectively by dealer or dealership group.  This reflects the interconnected nature of financing provided to our individual dealer and dealer group customers, and their affiliated entities.

When assessing the credit quality of the finance receivables within the dealer products portfolio segment, we segregate the finance receivables account balances into four 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

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, 2012 and 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 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 include contract term extensions, interest rate adjustments, waivers of loan covenants, or any combination of the three.  Troubled debt restructurings of accounts not under bankruptcy protection did not include forgiveness of principal during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 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, 2012 and 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 subsequent payment default during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 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 7 – 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 and foreign currency swaps 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.  As of December 31, 2012, we had implemented daily valuation and collateral exchange arrangements with all of our counterparties.  Our collateral arrangements with all but one counterparty include a zero threshold, full collateralization requirement.

The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments that contain credit risk related contingent features that were in a net liability position at December 31, 2012 was $5 million, excluding embedded derivatives and adjustments made for our own non-performance risk.  If our credit ratings declined by one notch, we would not be required to post additional collateral.  If our ratings were to decline by two notches or more, we would not be required to post additional collateral to the counterparties with which we were in a net liability position at December 31, 2012.  In order to settle all derivative instruments that were in a net liability position at December 31, 2012, excluding embedded derivatives and adjustments made for our own non-performance risk, we would be required to pay $5 million.

The commercial paper balance includes unamortized premiums and discounts.  Included in unsecured notes and loans payable are notes and loans denominated in various foreign currencies, unamortized premiums and discounts 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, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the carrying values of these foreign currency denominated notes payable were $11.5 billion and $15.8 billion, respectively.  Concurrent with the issuance of these foreign currency unsecured notes, we entered into currency swaps in the same notional amount to convert non-U.S. currency payments to U.S. dollar denominated payments.

The carrying value of our unsecured notes and loans payable represents unsecured notes and loans payable and carrying value adjustment.  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.  At December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the carrying value of unsecured notes and loan payable included unsecured floating rate debt of $16.8 billion and $16.7 billion, respectively, with contractual interest rates ranging from 0 percent to 6.0 percent and unsecured fixed rate debt of $26.7 billion and $25.5 billion, respectively, with contractual interest rates ranging from 0.5 percent to 9.4 percent.

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 0.4 percent to 1.9 percent at both December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012.  Secured notes and loans are issued by on-balance sheet securitization trusts, as further discussed in Note 10 – Variable Interest Entities.  These notes are repayable only from collections on the underlying pledged retail finance receivables and the beneficial interests in investments in operating leases and from related credit enhancements.

As of December 31, 2012, our commercial paper had a weighted average remaining maturity of 68 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.

Note 10 – Variable Interest Entities

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 related to retail finance receivables and beneficial interests in investments in operating leases (“Securitized Assets”).  We hold variable interests in the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs.  We determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the securitization trusts because (i) our servicing responsibilities for the Securitized Assets give us the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIEs, and (ii) our variable interests in the VIEs give us the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive residual returns that could potentially be significant.

The following tables show the assets and liabilities related to our VIE securitization transactions that were included in our financial statements as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012.

Note 10 – Variable Interest Entities (Continued)

Restricted cash represents collections from the underlying Securitized Assets and certain reserve deposits held by TMCC for the VIEs.  Gross Securitized Assets represent finance receivables and beneficial interests in investments in operating leases securitized for the asset-backed securities issued.  Net Securitized Assets are presented net of deferred fees and costs, deferred income, accumulated depreciation and the allowance for credit losses.  Other Assets represent used vehicles held for sale that were repossessed by or returned to TMCC for the benefit of the VIEs.  The related debt of these consolidated VIEs is presented net of $592 million and $381 million of securities retained by TMCC at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively.

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 us or our other assets, with the exception of customary representation and warranty repurchase provisions and indemnities.

As the primary beneficiary of these entities, we are exposed to credit, residual value, interest rate, and prepayment risk from the Securitized Assets on the VIEs.  However, our exposure to these risks did not change as a result of the transfer of the assets to the VIEs.  We may also be exposed to interest rate risk arising from the secured notes issued by the VIEs.

In addition, we entered into interest rate swaps with certain special purpose entities that issue variable rate debt.  Under the terms of these swaps, the special purpose entities are obligated to pay TMCC a fixed rate of interest on certain payment dates in exchange for receiving a floating rate of interest on notional amounts equal to the outstanding balance of the secured debt.  This arrangement enables the special purpose entities to mitigate the interest rate risk inherent in issuing variable rate debt that is secured by fixed rate Securitized Assets.

The transfers of the Securitized Assets to the special purpose entities in our securitizations are considered to be sales for legal purposes.  However, the Securitized Assets and the related debt remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.  We recognize financing revenue on the Securitized Assets and interest expense on the secured debt issued by the special purpose entities.  We also maintain an allowance for credit losses on the Securitized Assets to cover estimated probable credit losses using a methodology consistent with that used for our non-securitized asset portfolio.  The interest rate swaps between TMCC and the special purpose entities are considered intercompany transactions and therefore are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.

Note 11 – 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 February 2012, TMCC, its subsidiary Toyota Credit de Puerto Rico Corp. (“TCPR”), and other Toyota affiliates renewed a $5.0 billion 364 day syndicated bank credit facility.  In March 2011, TMCC, TCPR and other Toyota affiliates entered into a $5.0 billion three year syndicated bank credit facility expiring in fiscal 2014, and a $3.0 billion five year syndicated bank credit facility expiring in fiscal 2016.  In March 2012, $4.3 billion of the original $5.0 billion under the three year facility was extended for one additional year through fiscal 2015, and $2.6 billion of the original $3.0 billion under the five year facility was extended for one additional year through fiscal 2017.

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, 2012 and March 31, 2012.

Other Unsecured Credit Agreements

TMCC has entered into additional unsecured credit facilities with various banks.  As of January 31, 2013, TMCC had committed bank credit facilities totaling $4.2 billion of which $0.2 billion, $2.2 billion, $0.7 billion and $1.1 billion mature in fiscal 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

As of January 31, 2013, TMCC had entered into committed bank facilities of $0.8 billion and $0.3 billion, which mature in fiscal 2014 and 2016, respectively.  The commitments under these agreements become available to us only upon the termination of certain of our syndicated credit facilities.

TMCC also has an uncommitted bank credit facility in the amount of $0.5 billion which matures in fiscal 2014.

These credit 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, 2012 and March 31, 2012. We are in compliance with the covenants and conditions of the credit agreements described above.

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 were 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.  As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, approximately $1.7 billion and $2.4 billion of this facility were utilized, respectively.  This facility expired in January 2013 and was not renewed and the remaining outstanding balance was fully repaid as of January 31, 2013.

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, 2012, minimum future commitments under lease agreements to which we are a lessee, including those under the TMS lease, are as follows (dollars in millions):

Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

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, vehicle inventory, 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 reviewed for collectability on a quarterly basis, in conjunction with our evaluation of the allowance for credit losses.  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.

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 thousand for guaranteeing such payments.  TMCC has not been required to perform under any of these affiliate bond guarantees as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012.

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, 2012, we determined that it is not probable that we will be required to make any material payments in the future.  As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, no amounts have been recorded under these indemnification provisions.

Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

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.  Based on available information and established accruals, we do not believe it is reasonably possible that the results of these proceedings, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Note 13 – Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 36 percent and 37 percent for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, respectively, and 38 percent for both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011.  Our provision for income taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 was $635 million compared to $828 million for the same period in fiscal 2012.  The decrease in the provision is consistent with the decrease in our income before tax for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to the same period in fiscal 2012.

Tax-related Contingencies

As of December 31, 2012, we remain under IRS examination for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012, as well as for the current fiscal year.

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, 2012, our assessment did not result in a material change in unrecognized tax benefits.

Our deferred tax assets at December 31, 2012 were $1.3 billion compared to $1.7 billion at March 31, 2012, 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 2032.  The total deferred tax liability at December 31, 2012, net of these deferred tax assets, was $6.1 billion compared with $5.4 billion at March 31, 2012.  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.

OVERVIEW

Key Performance Indicators and Factors Affecting Our Business

In our finance operations, we generate revenue, income, and cash flows by providing retail financing, leasing, and dealer financing 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, operating expense, and loss metrics.

In our insurance operations, we generate revenue through marketing, underwriting, and claims administration related to covering certain risks of vehicle dealers and their customers.  We measure the performance of our insurance operations using the following metrics:  investment income, issued agreement volume, number of agreements in force, and loss metrics.

Our financial results are affected by a variety of economic and industry factors, including but not limited to, new and used vehicle markets, Toyota and Lexus sales volume, new vehicle incentives, consumer behavior, employment levels, our ability to respond to changes in interest rates with respect to both contract pricing and funding, the actual or perceived quality, safety or reliability of Toyota and Lexus vehicles, the financial health of the dealers we finance, and competitive pressure.  Changes in these factors can influence financing and lease contract volume, the number of financing and lease contracts that default and the loss per occurrence, our inability to realize originally estimated contractual residual values on leased vehicles, the volume and performance of our insurance operations, and our gross margins on financing and leasing volume.  Additionally, our funding programs and related costs are influenced by changes in the global capital markets, prevailing interest rates, and our credit ratings, which may affect our ability to obtain cost effective funding to support earning asset growth.

Fiscal 2013 First Nine Months Operating Environment

During the first nine months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”), economic growth in the United States (“U.S.”) continued at a slow pace.  The rate of employment growth was slow, the unemployment rate continues to be elevated, and consumer spending remained constrained.  However, home prices rose modestly in some parts of the U.S. during the first nine months of fiscal 2013, and sales of motor vehicles improved compared to the same period in fiscal 2012.

Conditions in the global capital markets remained challenging due to concerns over volatile European financial conditions during the first nine months of fiscal 2013.  Europe’s financial situation continued to pose downside risks to the economic outlook.  Economic activity in Europe continued to contract and the growth of emerging European economies and the Asian region slowed.  Fiscal concerns in the U.S. contributed to market volatility and are expected to continue to pose downside risks to the U.S. economic outlook.  Despite the challenging fixed income market conditions, we continue to maintain broad global access to both domestic and international markets.

Industry-wide vehicle sales in the United States and sales incentives throughout the auto industry increased during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year.  Vehicle sales by Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. (“TMS”) increased 29 percent in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to the same period in fiscal 2012.  The increase in TMS sales was attributable to the increase in vehicle and related parts supply, which was disrupted following the natural disasters that occurred in Japan and Thailand in 2011.  TMS sales were also positively impacted by new product launches.  While the production of Toyota and Lexus vehicles returned to pre-disaster levels during the third quarter of fiscal 2012, due to strong vehicle sales our vehicle inventory had not consistently returned to pre-disaster levels as of December 31, 2012.

Prices of used vehicles remained near historically high levels during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 despite slight declines compared to the same period in the prior year.  Natural disasters in Japan and Thailand in 2011 had the effect of reducing the availability of new Toyota and Lexus vehicles which in turn increased the demand for certain used Toyota and Lexus vehicles.  The combination of new Toyota and Lexus vehicle inventory being below historic levels during most of the first nine months of fiscal 2013 and low used vehicle supply contributed to lower per unit loss severity, favorably impacting our credit losses.

In October 2012, Hurricane Sandy caused wide-spread flooding and power outages across large portions of the Northeastern United States.  As a result, we experienced an increase in insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses during the last two months of the third quarter of fiscal 2013 and an increase in credit losses, but these increases were not material to our operating results for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013.  In addition, we did not experience a significant impact to our financial condition or to our finance and insurance volume.  Refer to “Results of Operations” and “Financial Condition” within “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further discussion.

Refer to Note 15 - Segment Information of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement for the total asset balances of our finance and insurance operations.

Our consolidated net income was $1,086 million and $283 million for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to $1,348 million and $432 million for the same periods in fiscal 2012.  Our consolidated results for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 decreased as compared to the same period in fiscal 2012 primarily due to increases in our provision for credit losses and depreciation on operating leases and a decrease in total financing revenues, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense.  The decrease in our consolidated results for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2012 was primarily due to increases in interest expense, depreciation on operating leases and provision for credit losses and a decrease in total financing revenue.

Our overall capital position, taking into account the payment of a $744 million dividend in September 2012 to Toyota Financial Services Americas Corporation (“TFSA”), increased by $0.3 billion, bringing total shareholder’s equity to $8.0 billion at December 31, 2012, as compared to $7.7 billion at March 31, 2012.  Our debt increased to $76.4 billion at December 31, 2012 from $73.2 billion at March 31, 2012.  Our debt-to-equity ratio of 9.5 at December 31, 2012 remained relatively consistent with a ratio of 9.6 at March 31, 2012.

Our finance operations reported net income of $968 million and $240 million for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to $1,243 million and $378 million for the same periods in fiscal 2012.  Finance operations results for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 decreased as compared to the same period in fiscal 2012 primarily due to increases in our provision for credit losses and depreciation on operating leases and a decrease in total financing revenues, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense.  Finance operations results for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased as compared to the same period in fiscal 2012 primarily due to increases in interest expense, depreciation on operating leases and provision for credit losses and a slight decrease in total financing revenues.

Financing Revenues

Total financing revenues decreased 4 percent and 1 percent during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2012 due to the following factors:

·  
Operating lease revenues decreased 1 percent in the first nine months of fiscal 2013, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2012, primarily due to a decrease in portfolio yield.  In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, operating lease revenues increased by 3 percent compared to the same period in fiscal 2012 primarily due to higher average outstanding earning asset balances, partially offset by a decrease in portfolio yield.

·  
Retail contract revenues decreased 14 percent and 12 percent in the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2012, primarily due to a decrease in portfolio yield.

 
52

 
 
·  
Dealer financing revenues increased 22 percent and 17 percent in the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2012, primarily due to higher average outstanding earning asset balances.

Our total portfolio, which includes operating lease, retail and dealer financing, had a yield of 4.6 percent and 4.5 percent during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to 5.5 percent and 5.3 percent for the same periods in fiscal 2012 due primarily to decreases in both our retail and operating lease portfolio yields.  Lower yields were the result of the maturity of higher yielding earning assets being replaced by lower yielding earning assets during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013.

Depreciation on Operating Leases

Depreciation on operating leases increased 6 percent and 7 percent during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2012.  The increase in depreciation was attributable to an increase in operating lease units outstanding and a slight decline in used vehicle values from historically high levels during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2012.

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 and foreign currency swaps 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:

During the first nine months of fiscal 2013, total interest expense decreased from $769 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 to $625 million during the same period of fiscal 2013. This decrease was primarily due to lower weighted average interest rates on debt and higher gains on interest rate swaps partially offset by lower gains on foreign currency transactions net of the associated foreign currency swaps.

Total interest expense increased from $163 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 to $284 million during the same period of fiscal 2013. This increase was primarily due to lower gains on interest rate swaps and losses on foreign currency transactions net of the associated foreign currency swaps partially offset by lower weighted average interest rates on debt.

 
53

 
 
Interest expense on debt primarily represents net interest settlements and changes in accruals 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 $1,014 million and $330 million during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013 from $1,295 million and $409 million in the same periods in fiscal 2012 primarily as a result of lower weighted average interest rates on debt.

Interest expense on derivatives represents net interest settlements and changes in accruals on both hedge and non-hedge accounting interest rate and foreign currency derivatives.  During the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded net interest expense of $6 million and net interest income of $4 million, respectively, compared to net interest expense of $7 million and $8 million during the same periods of fiscal 2012.

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 to economically hedge these foreign currency transactions.  During the first nine months of fiscal 2013, we recorded gains of $51 million on foreign currency transactions net of the associated foreign currency swaps. These gains resulted from decreases in swap rates in certain foreign currencies in which our currency swaps are denominated.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded a loss of $35 million on foreign currency transactions net of the associated foreign currency swaps. These losses resulted from increases in swap rates in certain foreign currencies in which our currency swaps are denominated.

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 net of the associated foreign currency swaps. These gains resulted from declines in foreign currency swap rates during fiscal 2012.

We recorded gains of $336 million and $75 million on non-hedge accounting interest rate swaps during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to gains of $158 million and $210 million during the same periods of fiscal 2012.  The gains were primarily due to a decrease in U.S. dollar swap rates.  The net gains on these swaps exclude net interest settlements and changes in accruals.  Future changes in interest and foreign exchange rates could continue to result in significant volatility in our interest expense.

Provision for Credit Losses

We recorded a provision for credit losses of $107 million and $88 million for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to a benefit from credit losses of $136 million and a provision for credit losses of $56 million for the same periods in fiscal 2012.  The benefit from credit losses for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 was attributable to significant improvements in per unit loss severity, default frequency and net charge-offs in our consumer portfolio.  In contrast, despite improvements in per unit loss severity and default frequency during the first nine months of fiscal 2013, net charge-offs increased resulting in a provision for credit losses that did not offset the level of charge-offs, net of recoveries. 

Operating and Administrative Expenses

Operating expenses increased during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to the same period in fiscal 2012 primarily due to increases in employee expenses, general operating expenses and insurance dealer back-end program expenses.

Our insurance operations reported net income of $118 million and $43 million for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to $105 million and $54 million for the same periods in fiscal 2012.  The increase in net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 was attributable to an increase in investment and other income and a decrease in insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses, partially offset by a decrease in insurance earned premiums and contract revenues, and an increase in operating and administrative expenses.  The decrease in net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the same period in fiscal 2012 was attributable to a decrease in insurance earned premiums and contract revenues and an increase in operating and administrative expenses.  Our net income from insurance operations for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013 was also affected by Hurricane Sandy.  Despite an increase in insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses, this effect was offset by a decrease in prepaid maintenance losses.

Agreements issued increased by 16 percent and 19 percent during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2012.  The increase was primarily due to the overall increase in TMS vehicle sales.  Agreements in force decreased by 10 percent during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to the same period in fiscal 2012.  The decrease was attributable to the expiration of affiliate agreements issued during fiscal 2011 in support of special TMS sales and customer loyalty programs.

Our insurance operations reported insurance earned premiums and contract revenues of $453 million and $146 million for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to $464 million and $154 million for the same periods in fiscal 2012.  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 and decreased for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2012.  The decrease was primarily due to the expiration during fiscal 2013 of affiliate agreements issued during fiscal 2011 in support of special TMS sales and customer loyalty programs.

Our insurance operations reported investment and other income of $103 million and $51 million for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to $62 million and $50 million for the same periods in fiscal 2012.  Investment and other income consists primarily of interest and dividend income and realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.  The increase in investment and other income for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to a decrease in realized losses and an increase in dividend income.

Our insurance operations reported insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses of $231 million and $77 million for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to $247 million and $78 million for the same periods in fiscal 2012.  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.

The decrease in insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013 was primarily attributable to a decrease in prepaid maintenance losses of $37 million and $14 million, respectively, offset by an increase in inventory insurance losses of $10 million and $12 million, respectively.  The decrease in prepaid maintenance losses was due to lower claim frequency as a result of the expiration during fiscal 2013 of affiliate agreements issued in fiscal 2011 in support of special TMS sales and customer loyalty programs.  The increase in inventory insurance losses was due to the occurrence of Hurricane Sandy in October 2012, which caused wide-spread flooding and power outages across large portions of the Northeastern United States.

Our insurance operations reported operating and administrative expenses of $132 million and $47 million for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to $114 million and $38 million for the same periods in fiscal 2012.  The increase was attributable to an increase in insurance dealer back-end program expenses, various product expenses, and general operating expenses.  Insurance dealer back-end program expenses are incentives or expense reduction programs we provide to dealers based on their sales volume or underwriting performance.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our total provision for income taxes for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $635 million and $156 million compared to $828 million and $266 million for the same periods in fiscal 2012.  Our effective tax rate was 37 percent and 36 percent for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to 38 percent for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2012.  The change in our provision for income taxes is consistent with the change in our income before tax in the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2012.

On January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was signed into law.  We anticipate that this Act will favorably impact our taxable income through the extension of the 50 percent bonus depreciation deduction.

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 and Thailand in 2011 caused manufacturing disruptions and production suspensions of certain Toyota and Lexus vehicle models and parts during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2012.  As a result of increased availability of vehicle and related parts supplies, vehicle sales by TMS increased 29 percent for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to the same period in fiscal 2012.  In addition, TMS sales were positively affected by new product and model launches.

Our financing volume increased while our market share remained consistent in the first nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to the same period in fiscal 2012.  The increase in volume was driven primarily by the increased supply of new Toyota and Lexus vehicles and an increase in TMS subvention.  TMS subvention volume increased as the supply of new vehicles grew in the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2012.  The foregoing factors were sufficient to offset an initial decrease in market share during the first half of fiscal 2013.

Retail Contract Volume and Earning Assets

Our new retail contract volume increased during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2012.  The increase was mainly due to an increase in overall TMS vehicle sales and subvention.  The natural disasters in Japan and Thailand in 2011 caused a shortage of new Toyota and Lexus vehicles in fiscal 2012 and a corresponding dealer focus on used vehicle sales.  This resulted in higher used retail contract volume for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 compared to the same period in fiscal 2013.  The increase in vehicle financing volume during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 contributed to the increase in retail finance receivables, net at December 31, 2012.

Lease Contract Volume and Earning Assets

Our vehicle lease contract volume during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013 increased as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2012.  Much of the increase during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013 was attributable to an increase in TMS sales resulting in an increase in subvened vehicle financing volume and investments in operating leases, net at December 31, 2012 as compared to the balance at March 31, 2012.

Dealer Financing and Earning Assets

Dealer financing, net increased 16 percent from March 31, 2012, primarily due to increases in dealer inventory financed.  The higher level of dealer inventory was attributable to the return of vehicle production to pre-disaster levels during the third quarter of fiscal 2012.  The total number of dealers receiving financing was relatively consistent with March 31, 2012.

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 increased 6 percent and 7 percent during the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2012, due primarily to an increase in the average operating lease units outstanding over the same periods and a slight decline in used vehicle values during the first nine months of fiscal 2013.  Despite this decline, used vehicle values remained near historically high levels during the first nine months of fiscal 2013.  The level of lease maturities during the third quarter of fiscal 2013 increased as compared to the same period in fiscal 2012 and is expected to continue to increase through the remainder of fiscal 2013 and over the next few years.  This increase could affect return rates, used vehicle values and depreciation expense.

Credit Risk

Credit Loss Experience

The overall credit quality of our consumer portfolio in the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013 continued to benefit from our continued 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 frequency and delinquency during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2012.

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 1.27 percent during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to 1.40 percent during the same period in fiscal 2012.  Despite slight declines in the first nine months of fiscal 2013, used vehicle values remained near historically high levels.  Strong used vehicle values positively affected default frequency and net charge-offs.  Some customers, who otherwise may have defaulted, were able to sell their vehicles in order to pay off their finance contracts.  The positive impact of strong used vehicle values on default frequency was partially offset by the increase in the number of vehicles charged off in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 due to damage from Hurricane Sandy.  The low level of default frequency of 1.27 percent may not be indicative of future levels of default frequency as accounts 60 or more days past due increased from 0.18 percent as of March 31, 2012 to 0.26 percent as of December 31, 2012.  Average loss severity per unit decreased to $5,508 at December 31, 2012 from $5,841 at December 31, 2011.  The decrease was primarily due to losses incurred as a result of Hurricane Sandy.  Loss severity for vehicles damaged by Hurricane Sandy was mitigated to a large extent by the receipt of vehicle insurance proceeds.  As a result, Hurricane Sandy’s net impact to credit losses for the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2013 were not material as its favorable impact on loss severity offset the unfavorable impact on default frequency.

Net charge-offs as a percentage of average gross earning assets increased from 0.21 percent at December 31, 2011 to 0.28 percent at December 31, 2012 due primarily to lower recoveries.

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 analyses, 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, 2012 and 2011:

    December 31, 2011, respectively.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2013, our allowance for credit losses decreased $59 million from $619 million at March 31, 2012 to $560 million at December 31, 2012.  The decline in our allowance for credit losses was primarily driven by improvements in default frequency from March 31, 2012.  Used vehicle values remained near historically high levels during the first nine months of fiscal 2013, although values declined compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2012.  Strong used vehicle prices 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.

The favorable levels in our actual per unit loss severity and default frequency reflect patterns of credit behavior different from our historical patterns and levels.  An unusual combination of factors including the low supply of new and 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, and the increased level of lease maturities in establishing our allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2012.

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

We develop and maintain contingency funding plans and regularly evaluate our liquidity position under various operating circumstances, allowing us to assess how we will be able to operate through a period of stress when access to normal sources of capital is constrained.  The plans project funding requirements during a potential period of stress, specify and quantify sources of liquidity, and outline actions and procedures for effectively managing through the problem period. In addition, we monitor the ratings and credit exposure of the lenders that participate in our credit facilities to ascertain any issues that may arise with potential draws on these facilities if that contingency becomes warranted.

We maintain broad access to a variety of domestic and global markets and may choose to realign our funding activities depending upon market conditions, relative costs, and other factors.  We believe that our funding sources, combined with operating and investing activities, provide sufficient liquidity to meet future funding requirements and business growth. Our funding volume is primarily based on expected net change in earning assets and debt maturities.

 
64

 

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 $4.5 billion to $7.7 billion with an average balance of $6.1 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2013.
 
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, 2012 for further discussion.

We routinely monitor global financial conditions and our financial exposure to our global counterparties.  Specifically, we focus 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, 2012, 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 maintained a total of $21 billion in committed and uncommitted syndicated and bilateral credit facilities for our liquidity purposes as of December 31, 2012.  As of December 31, 2012, less than 8 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 $21.4 billion to $26.4 billion during the quarter ended December 31, 2012, with an average outstanding balance of $24.1 billion.  Our commercial paper programs are supported by the liquidity facilities 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.

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 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 2015.  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.

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 2012, 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 €36 billion was available for issuance at December 31, 2012.  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 global capital markets.

Secured Notes and Loans Payable

Overview

Asset-backed securitization of our earning asset portfolio provides us with an alternative source of funding.  We securitize finance receivables and beneficial interests in investments in operating leases (“Securitized Assets”) using a variety of structures.  All of our securitization transactions involve the transfer of Securitized Assets to bankruptcy-remote special purpose entities.  These bankruptcy-remote entities are used to ensure that the Securitized Assets are isolated from the claims of creditors of TMCC and that the cash flows from these assets are available solely for the benefit of the investors in these asset-backed securities.  Investors in asset-backed securities do not have recourse to our other assets, and neither TMCC nor our affiliates guarantee these obligations.  We are not required to repurchase or make reallocation payments with respect to the Securitized Assets that become delinquent or default after securitization.  As seller and servicer of the Securitized Assets, we are required to repurchase or make a reallocation payment with respect to the underlying assets that are subsequently discovered not to have met specified eligibility requirements.  This repurchase obligation is customary in securitization transactions.

We service the Securitized Assets in accordance with our customary servicing practices and procedures.  Our servicing duties include collecting payments on Securitized Assets and submitting them to a trustee for distribution to security holders and other interest holders.  We prepare monthly servicer certificates on the performance of the Securitized Assets, including collections, investor distributions, delinquencies, and credit losses.  We also perform administrative services for the special purpose entities.

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

 
67

 

Our securitizations are structured to provide credit enhancement to reduce the risk of loss to security holders and other interest holders in the asset-backed securities.  Credit enhancement may include some or all of the following:

·  
Overcollateralization:  The principal of the Securitized Assets that exceeds the principal amount of the related secured debt.
·  
Excess spread:  The expected interest collections on the Securitized Assets that exceed the expected fees and expenses of the special purpose entity, including the interest payable on the debt, net of swap settlements, if any.
·  
Cash reserve funds:  A portion of the proceeds from the issuance of asset-backed securities may be held by the securitization trust in a segregated reserve fund and may be used to pay principal and interest to security holders and other interest holders if collections on the underlying receivables are insufficient.
·  
Yield supplement arrangements:  Additional overcollateralization may be provided to supplement the future contractual interest payments from pledged receivables with relatively low contractual interest rates.
· 
Subordinated notes:  The subordination of principal and interest payments on subordinated notes may provide additional credit enhancement to holders of senior notes.

In addition to the credit enhancement described above, we may enter into interest rate swaps with our special purpose entities that issue variable rate debt.  Under the terms of these swaps, the special purpose entities are obligated to pay TMCC a fixed rate of interest on payment dates in exchange for receiving a floating rate of interest on notional amounts equal to the outstanding balance of the secured debt.  This arrangement enables the special purpose entities to mitigate the interest rate risk inherent in issuing variable rate debt that is secured by fixed rate Securitized Assets.

Securitized Assets and the related debt remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.  We recognize financing revenue on the Securitized Assets.  We also recognize interest expense on the secured debt issued by the special purpose entities and maintain an allowance for credit losses on the Securitized Assets to cover estimated probable credit losses using a methodology consistent with that used for our non-securitized asset portfolio.  The interest rate swaps between TMCC and the special purpose entities are considered intercompany transactions and therefore are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.

Public Term Securitization

We maintain shelf registration statements with the SEC to provide for the issuance of securities backed by Securitized Assets in the U.S. capital markets.  Funding obtained from our public term securitization transactions is repaid as the underlying Securitized Assets amortize.  We have retained certain securities from these transactions and may sell them at any time.  None of the asset-backed securities we have issued have defaulted, experienced any events of default or failed to pay principal in full at maturity.

Amortizing Asset-backed Commercial Paper Conduits

We have executed private securitization transactions of Securitized Assets with bank-sponsored multi-seller asset-backed conduits.  The related debt will be repaid as the underlying Securitized Assets amortize.

 
68

 

Liquidity Facilities and Letters of Credit

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

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

In February 2012, TMCC, its subsidiary Toyota Credit de Puerto Rico Corp. (“TCPR”), and other Toyota affiliates renewed a $5.0 billion 364 day syndicated bank credit facility.  In March 2011, TMCC, TCPR and other Toyota affiliates entered into a $5.0 billion three year syndicated bank credit facility expiring in fiscal 2014, and a $3.0 billion five year syndicated bank credit facility expiring in fiscal 2016.  In March 2012, $4.3 billion of the original $5.0 billion under the three year facility was extended for one additional year through fiscal 2015, and $2.6 billion of the original $3.0 billion under the five year facility was extended for one additional year through fiscal 2017.

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, 2012 and March 31, 2012.

Other Unsecured Credit Agreements

TMCC has entered into additional unsecured credit facilities with various banks.  As of January 31, 2013, TMCC had committed bank credit facilities totaling $4.2 billion of which $0.2 billion, $2.2 billion, $0.7 billion and $1.1 billion mature in fiscal 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

As of January 31, 2013, TMCC had entered into committed bank facilities of $0.8 billion and $0.3 billion, which mature in fiscal 2014 and 2016, respectively.  The commitments under these agreements become available to us only upon the termination of certain of our syndicated credit facilities.

TMCC also has an uncommitted bank credit facility in the amount of $0.5 billion which matures in fiscal 2014.

These credit 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, 2012 and March 31, 2012. We are in compliance with the covenants and conditions of the credit agreements described above.

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 were 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.  As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, approximately $1.7 billion and $2.4 billion of this facility were utilized, respectively.  This facility expired in January 2013 and was not renewed and the remaining outstanding balance was fully repaid as of January 31, 2012.

 
69

 

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 2012 Form 10-K.

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, accordingly, limit our use of derivatives 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 and foreign currency swaps 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.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

All derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, taking into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements that allow us to net settle 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.

We may also, from time-to-time, issue debt which can be characterized as hybrid financial instruments. These obligations often contain an embedded derivative which may require bifurcation.  Changes in the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative 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 2012 Form 10-K, and Note 7 – Derivatives, Hedging Activities and Interest Expense in this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Collateral represents cash received or deposited under reciprocal arrangements that we have entered into with our derivative counterparties.  As of December 31, 2012, we held collateral of $1,442 million which offset derivative assets and posted collateral of $70 million which offset derivative liabilities.  We held collateral of $24 million which we did not use to offset derivative assets and we posted collateral of $5 million which we did not use to offset derivative liabilities.  As of March 31, 2012, we held collateral of $1,748 million which offset derivative assets and posted collateral of $196 million which offset derivative liabilities.  Refer to the “Interest Expense” section for discussion on changes in derivatives.

Derivative Counterparty Credit Risk

We manage derivative counterparty credit risk by maintaining policies for entering into derivative contracts, exercising our rights under our derivative contracts, requiring the posting of collateral and actively monitoring our exposure to counterparties.

All of our derivative counterparties to which we had credit exposure at December 31, 2012 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 global 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.  As of December 31, 2012 we had implemented daily valuation and collateral exchange arrangements with all of our counterparties.  Our collateral arrangements with all but one counterparty include a zero threshold, full collateralization requirement, which significantly reduces counterparty credit risk exposure.  Under our ISDA Master Agreements, cash is the only permissible form of collateral.  Neither we nor our counterparties are required to hold collateral in a segregated account.  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 2012 Form 10-K for further discussion.

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, 2012, 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.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2012 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.  Based on available information and established accruals, we do not believe it is reasonably possible that the results of these proceedings, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 5.   OTHER INFORMATION
 
Disclosure of Iranian Activities under Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 added Section 13 (r) to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Section 13(r) requires an issuer to disclose in its annual or quarterly reports, as applicable, whether it or any of its affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings relating to Iran or with designated natural persons or entities involved in terrorism or the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.  Disclosure is required even where the activities, transactions or dealings are conducted outside the U.S. by non-U.S. affiliates in compliance with applicable law, and whether or not the activities are sanctionable under U.S. law.

We are disclosing the following information pursuant to Section 13(r).  TMCC is indirectly wholly-owned by Toyota Motor Corporation (“TMC”), a Japanese corporation.  TMC has provided us with the following information:
 
During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, P.T. Toyota-Astra Motor (“TAM”), an Indonesian company, sold two Toyota vehicles to the Iranian embassy in Indonesia in compliance with applicable law.  P.T. Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (“TMMIN”), an Indonesian company and subsidiary of TMC, manufactured and sold the vehicles to TAM.  TAM is the sole distributor of Toyota vehicles in Indonesia.  As of December 31, 2012, TMC held 49 percent of the common stock of TAM, and PT Astra International Tbk, an Indonesian company, held the remaining 51 percent of the common stock of TAM.  The vehicle sales contributed an equivalent in foreign currency of approximately $37,000 in gross revenues to TMC, and net profit to TMC is substantially less.  TMC has informed us that no determination has been made as to whether TAM will, in the future, cease or continue vehicle sales to the Iranian embassy in Indonesia.  We understand this transaction would not subject TMC or its affiliates to U.S. sanctions.
 
As of the date of this report, we are not aware of any other activity, transaction or dealing by us or any of our affiliates during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that requires disclosure in this report under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act.  For affiliates that we do not control and that are our affiliates solely due to their common control by our parent TMC, we have relied upon TMC for information regarding their activities, transactions and dealings.  TMC is subject to Section 13(r) for disclosures in its Form 20-F for the year ending March 31, 2013, and continues its own review of the activities, transactions and dealings of its affiliates that we do not control, and, to the extent necessary, we will update our disclosure as TMC completes its review.
