Tokyo-TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION (TMC) today announced record operating

On a consolidated basis, net sales for the 12 months ended March 31,
2001, increased 4.2 percent year-over-year to 13.4 trillion yen, an
all-time high. Operating income hit a new peak at 870.1 billion yen, an
increase of 12.1 percent versus the same period last year, while ordinary
income rose 22.0 percent to a highest-ever 972.2 billion yen. Net income
climbed 15.9 percent to 471.2 billion yen, also a record. Earnings per
share for the year were 127.88 yen, an increase of 17.93 yen over the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2000.
Unconsolidated net sales for the period were 7.9 trillion yen, an
increase of 6.7 percent versus the same period last year. Operating
income increased 3.0 percent to 506.8 billion yen, while ordinary income
was 621.7 billion yen, up 14.8 percent. Net income totaled 333.5 billion
yen, up 1.3 percent.
TMC also announced a second-half cash dividend for the six months ended
March 31, 2001, of 14 yen per share. Total dividend payout for the full
year was 25 yen per share, an increase of 1 yen per share over the previous
year.
Commenting on the results, TMC President Fujio Cho said, 'Toyota's
record performance is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to meet the
needs of a wide variety of customers. Our aggressive product launch
strategy helped increase our market share in Japan to 43.1 percent,
excluding mini-vehicles, an all-time high.
'At the same time, we continue to benefit from increased local
production. In January, we began manufacturing the Yaris (known as the
Vitz in Japan) at our new plant in France. In North America, we announced
a number of additional expansions throughout the year, including a new V8
engine plant.'
He concluded, 'We believe these strategies, along with a continued focus
on cost reduction and the maximization of the total power of the Toyota
Group, will serve us well as we strive to be a leading global company in
the 21st century.'
For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2002, TMC envisions
unconsolidated sales of 8.0 trillion yen, ordinary income of 630.0
billion yen and net income of 370.0 billion yen.
Based on an exchange rate of 115 yen to the dollar and 105 yen to the euro.
