Notice Concerning Effect of Floods in Thailand as of November 3, 2011

   Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) sends its sincerest condolences to all those affected by the recent catastrophic flooding in Thailand. TMC announces the current effects of floods in Thailand on TMC's operations as below.

1 Production in Japan 

   Due to delays in parts-supply, TMC will continue to adjust utilization hours at its plants in Japan from Monday, November 7 to Saturday, November 12 based on then-current parts-supply conditions.

2 Production outside Japan

   TMC's subsidiary in Thailand, Toyota Motor Thailand Co., Ltd. (TMT) will extend the production halt at its Samrong, Gateway, and Ban Pho plants for the week beginning on Monday, November 7. As of the date of this notice, the floods have had no physical impact on the plants.

   TMC-affiliated plants in Asia other than Thailand will continue to adjust utilization hours for the week beginning on Monday, November 7.

   In addition, plants in North America and South Africa will continue to adjust utilization hours for the week beginning on Monday, November 7.

   Regarding production in countries and regions other than those discussed above, TMC is currently inspecting and confirming the effects of the floods.

   Decisions regarding adjustments, if any, to production both within and outside Japan after Monday, November 14 will be based on a close observation of the situation as it develops.

   TMC is continuing to work closely with its parts-supplier and is putting forth effort to restore production as quickly as possible. The effects of the floods on TMC's financial performance are yet to be assessed. Should any material impacts be anticipated, TMC will make a further announcement in a prompt manner.
