Tokyo-TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION (TMC) today announced operating results for the
third quarter ended December 31, 2002.


On a consolidated basis, net sales for the quarter totaled 4.18 trillion yen, an
increase of 13.2 percent compared to the same period last year.  Operating
income increased 23.3 percent to 379.4 billion yen, while net income was 216.0
billion yen compared to 111.4 billion yen in the third quarter of last year.


Figures for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 also show marked increases
in sales and profits compared to the same period of the previous year,
continuing the upward trend set by Toyota's record-high interim results.


Commenting on the results, TMC Executive Vice President Ryuji Araki said, 'We
are pleased to report that during the third quarter, Toyota's vehicle sales
increased in each of our operating regions around the world.  Our success is the
result of our ongoing efforts to introduce new products and reinforce our global
sales network.'


In Japan, TMC's third quarter market share (excluding minivehicles) was 43.6
percent, up 0.6%.  As a result, consolidated sales were 545 thousand units, an
increase of thirty-nine thousand units compared to the same period last year.
Well-received product launches, along with successful marketing promotions in
the latter half of the year, mainly contributed to this result.


Overseas sales increased 20.6 percent in the third quarter, to 1.03 million
vehicles.
Toyota's vehicle sales in North America continue to be strong, with the Matrix,
Corolla and new 4Runner contributing to an increase in sales of seventy-two
thousand units over the same period last year.  In addition, the Camry, Toyota's
flagship sedan, was again the top-selling passenger car in the United States in
the 2002 calendar year.


In Europe, sales increased by fifteen thousand vehicles year-over-year, helped
mainly by sales of the Corolla, to approach 170 thousand vehicles.


Total sales, including Japan and overseas, approached 1.58 million vehicles in
the third quarter, an increase of 216 thousand vehicles, or 15.9 percent,
compared to the same period last year.
Araki added, 'We have enjoyed favorable profit conditions by operating at full
production capacity in each of our operating regions and holding selling
expenses in check.  As a result, we expect to meet our forecast and surpass last
year's results.'
