Tokyo - TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION (TMC) today announced record consolidated and
unconsolidated operating results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003.

On a consolidated basis, net sales for the twelve months ended March 31, 2003,
increased 6.3 percent year-over-year to 16.05 trillion yen.  Operating income
reached a new high at 1.36 trillion yen, an increase of 21.4 percent over the
previous year, while ordinary income rose by 27.0 percent to 1.41 trillion yen.
Net income climbed 53.4 percent, to 944.6 billion yen.  Earnings per share for
the year was 272.75 yen, an increase of 102.06 yen over the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2002.  All of these figures marked record highs for the third
consecutive term.

Unconsolidated net sales and income for the fiscal year also increased, with net
sales reaching 8.73 trillion yen, an increase of 5.5 percent versus last year.
Operating income increased fifteen percent to 861.3 billion yen, while ordinary
income was 892.6 billion yen, up 16.1 percent.  Net income totaled 634.0 billion
yen, up 34.8 percent.

TMC also announced a second-half cash dividend for the six months ended March
31, 2003, up five yen to twenty yen per share.  Total dividend payout for the
full year was thirty-six yen per share.

Commenting on the results, TMC President Fujio Cho said, 'We achieved our
best-ever results by creating products that respond to the needs of our
customers around the world and strengthening our global sales organization.  Our
substantial increase in sales volume during the 2003 fiscal year, in which we
surpassed six million units for the first time, was a major contributor to our
record performance.  Cost reductions, achieved together with our affiliates,
also contributed, along with stable currency exchange rates and relatively
strong overseas markets.'

TMC's Japanese market share (excluding minivehicles) for the twelve months ended
March 31, 2003 was 42.3 percent.  Despite the sluggish domestic market, Toyota
achieved higher sales than last year due to new vehicle introductions including
the ist, Alphard and WISH.  The effects of sales promotion measures in the
second half of the year also contributed to the strong performance.

Sales in North America reached 1.98 million vehicles, an increase of 202
thousand vehicles, due to the strong popularity of models including the Corolla,
Highlander and ES300.

In Europe, the Corolla and RAV4 continue to sell well, resulting in a
year-over-year increase of forty-nine thousand vehicles*.

TMC also announced its forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2004.
Based on an exchange rate of 115 yen to the U.S. dollar and 125 yen to the euro,
TMC forecasts unconsolidated net sales of 8.3 trillion yen, ordinary income of
670 billion yen and net income assumption of 440 billion yen due to the Japanese
yen appreciation and other factors.  However, if foreign exchange rates remain
at the same level as the 2003 fiscal year, TMC hopes to approach last year's
income level.

TMC estimates that consolidated sales for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2004
will be 6.26 million vehicles under U.S. GAAP (6.40 million vehicles under Japan
GAAP).

*As previously announced, Toyota's FY 2002 results for Europe represented a
fifteen-month fiscal term.  For the purpose of comparison with FY 2003, those
15-month figures were multiplied by 12/15.
