Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based on
information known to management as of June 2023.
This section contains projections and forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. You
should be aware that certain risks and uncertainties could cause the actual results of Toyota Industries Corporation and its
consolidated subsidiaries to differ materially from any projections or forward-looking statements. These risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those listed under "Risk Information" and elsewhere in this annual report.
The fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 is referred to as FY2023 and other fiscal years are referred to in a corresponding
manner. All references to the "Company" herein are to Toyota Industries Corporation on a stand-alone basis and
references to "Toyota Industries" herein are to the Company and its 271 consolidated subsidiaries.
1. Result of Operations
(1) Operating performance
In FY2023 (ended March 31, 2023), although the global economy showed signs of recovery thanks to the easing of
restrictions to prevent the spread of COVID-19, there remains many economic uncertainties. These include global
inflation triggered by soaring raw material and energy prices due to the conflict in Ukraine as well as heightened
concerns over an economic recession arising from higher interest rates in various countries. Meanwhile, the recovery
of the Japanese economy was moderate mainly due to soaring prices accompanied by the rapid depreciation of the
yen. Under these circumstances, Toyota Industries has been striving to expand sales by appropriately responding to
customer needs and the movements of each market, such as the automobile electrification and logistics automation.
As a result, total consolidated net sales amounted to 3,379.8 billion yen, an increase of 674.7 billion yen, or 25%, from
the previous fiscal year.
(Automobile)
The Automobile market remained is stable when compared with the previous fiscal year in Japan. However, the
automotive market expanded elsewhere in the globe. Expansions came primarily in China and North America. Amid
such operating conditions, net sales of the Automobile Segment totaled 957.8 billion yen, an increase of 165.0 billion
yen, or 21% from the previous fiscal year. Operating profit amounted to 34.6 billion yen, an increase of 1.6 billion yen,
or 5%.
Within this segment, net sales of the Vehicle Business amounted to 83.1 billion yen, on par with the previous fiscal year,
due to decreases in sales of Toyota RAV4 for Japan offset by a decrease abroad.
Net sales of the Engine Business totaled 322.4 billion yen, an increase of 54.8 billion yen, or 20%, mainly from an
increase in sales of gasoline engines.
Net sales of the Car Air-Conditioning Compressor Business totaled 429.7 billion yen, an increase of 73.6 billion yen, or
21%, due to an increase in North America and Europe.
Net sales of Electronics Parts and Others Business totaled 122.5 billion yen, an increase of 37.0 billion yen, or 43%,
attributable primarily to an increase in sales of battery and DC-DC converters.
―3―
(Materials Handling Equipment)
The Materials Handling Equipment market were sluggish in Europe and other regions, and shrank worldwide. Amid this
operating climate, net sales of the Materials Handling Equipment Segment totaled 2,283.8 billion yen, an increase of
494.4 billion yen, or 28%. Sales of lift trucks, a mainstay product of this segment, increased primarily in North America.
Operating profit amounted to 121.8 billion yen, an increase of 8.2 billion yen, or 7%.
(Textile Machinery)
The Textile Machinery market remained steady in Asia, including the primary market - China. Net sales of the Textile
Machinery Segment totaled 84.3 billion yen, an increase of 15.1 billion yen, or 22%, due mainly to an increase in sales
of spinning machinery and yarn quality measurement instruments. Operating profit amounted to 7.8 billion yen, an
increase of 2.3 billion yen, or 41%.

3. Liquidity and Capital Resources
(1) Capital needs and returning profits to shareholders
Toyota Industries' primary capital needs are twofold, specifically, long-term capital needs for research and development,
capital investment, M&A and others as well as working capital needs for purchasing raw materials and parts for
manufacturing the Toyota Industries' products and for manufacturing costs and selling, general and administrative
expenses.
In addition to prioritizing fund allocation in research and development and capital investment, it is Toyota Industries'
policy to invest funds in M&A and others when deemed necessary for business expansion and sustainable growth.
As for returning profits to shareholders, it is determined to pay dividends at the consolidated dividend payout ratio of
around 30%. In regard to dividend policy, refer to "7. Dividend Policy".
Toyota Industries receives credit ratings from S&P Global Ratings Japan Inc., Moody's Japan K.K. and Rating &
Investment Information, Inc. and strives to maintain and improve its ratings to procure funds at favorable terms.
Regarding fund management, the Company undertakes integrated fund management of its subsidiaries in Japan, while
Toyota Industries North America, Inc. (TINA) and Toyota Industries Finance International AB (TIFI) centrally manage
the funds of subsidiaries in North America and Europe, respectively. Through close cooperation among the Company,
TINA and TIFI, we strive to improve efficiency of funds operations.
4. Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was 194.9 billion yen in FY2023, due to posting profit before income taxes of
262.9 billion yen. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by 126.1 billion yen compared to that of 321.0
billion yen in the previous fiscal year.
Net cash used in investing activities was 427.6 billion yen in FY2023, attributable primarily to payments for bank
deposits of 919.4 billion yen and payments for purchases of property, plant and equipment of 289.9 billion yen, which
offset proceeds from withdrawals of bank deposits of 831.8 billion yen. Net cash used in investing activities increased
by 197.8 billion yen compared to that of 229.8 billion yen in the previous fiscal year.
Net cash provided by financing activities was 183.6 billion yen in FY2023 compared with a net loss 92.1 billion yen in
the previous fiscal year, due mainly to proceeds from long-term loans payable of 354.8 billion yen.
After adding translation adjustments and cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period, cash and cash equivalents
as of March 31, 2023 stood at 202.7 billion yen, a decrease of 44.3 billion yen, or 18%, from the end of the previous
fiscal year.

8. Risk Information
The following represent risks that could have a material impact on Toyota Industries' financial condition, business
results and share prices. Toyota Industries judged the following as future risks as of March 31, 2023.
(1) Principal customers
Toyota Industries' automobile and engine products are sold primarily to Toyota Motor Corporation ("TMC"). In FY2023,
net sales to TMC accounted for 12.4% of consolidated net sales. Therefore, TMC's vehicle sales could have an impact
on Toyota Industries' business results. As of March 31, 2023, TMC holds 24.7% of the Company's voting rights.
R&D activities are focused mainly on developing and upgrading products in current business fields and peripheral
sectors. Toyota Industries expects that revenues derived from these fields will continue to account for a significant
portion of total revenues and anticipates that future growth will be contingent on the development and sales of new
products in these fields. Toyota Industries believes that it can continue to develop appealing new products. However,
Toyota Industries may not be able to forecast market needs and develop and introduce appealing new products in a
timely manner. This could result in lower future growth and have an adverse impact on Toyota Industries' financial
condition and business results.
Such a situation could result from risks that include that there is no assurance that Toyota Industries will be able to
allocate sufficient future funds necessary for the development of appealing new products; no assurance that product
sales will be successful, as forecasts of products supported by the market may not always be accurate; and no
assurance that newly developed products and technologies will always be protected as intellectual property.
However, Toyota Industries cannot guarantee all its products will be defect-free and that product recalls will not be
made in the future. Product defects that could lead to large-scale recalls and product liability indemnities could result in
large cost burdens and have a significant negative impact on the evaluation of Toyota Industries. It could also have an
adverse effect on Toyota Industries' financial condition and business results due to a decrease in sales and profit, and
decline in share prices of Toyota Industries.
―8―
(5) Price competition
Toyota Industries faces extremely harsh competition in each of the industries in which it conducts business, including
its Automobile and Materials Handling Equipment businesses, which are the core of Toyota Industries' earnings
foundation. Toyota Industries believes it offers high value-added products that are unrivalled in terms of technology,
quality and cost.
Amid an environment characterized by intensifying price competition, however, Toyota Industries may be unable to
maintain or increase market share against low-cost competitors or to maintain profitability. This could have an adverse
impact on Toyota Industries' financial condition and business results.
―9―
(11) Share price fluctuations
Toyota Industries holds marketable securities, and therefore bears the risk of price fluctuations of these shares. Based
on fair market value of these shares at the end of the fiscal year under review, Toyota Industries had unrealized gains.
However, unrealized gains on marketable securities could worsen depending on future share price movements.
Additionally, a fall in share prices could reduce the value of pension assets, leading to an increase in the pension
shortfall.

10. Toyota Industries' Relationship to Toyota Motor Corporation
Due to historical reasons, Toyota Industries maintains close relationships with TMC and other Toyota Group companies
in terms of capital and business dealings.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Reporting Entity
Toyota Industries Corporation (hereinafter, "the Company") is a company domiciled in Japan. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements comprise Toyota Industries and the Company's interests in affiliates. The businesses
of the Toyota Industries include the manufacture and sales of automobiles, materials handling equipment, textile
machinery and others. The content of each business is detailed in "4. Segment Information".
2. Basis of Presentation
(1) Conformance of consolidated financial statements with IFRS
As the Company meets the requirements of "Specified Company Applying Designated International Financial Reporting
Standards" pursuant to Article 1-2 of the Ordinance on Consolidated Financial Statements, the consolidated financial
statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
as permitted by the provision of Article 93 of the Ordinance.
The consolidated financial statements have been approved by Koichi Ito, president of the Company, on August 10, 2023.
Estimates and assumptions are continually reviewed. The effect of a changes in accounting estimates is recognized in
the reporting period in which the change was made and in future reporting periods.
The information regarding judgments used in applying accounting policies that could have a material effect on the

3. Material Accounting Policies
(1) Basis of Consolidation
(i) Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Goodwill is measured as the difference
between the aggregate of the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-
controlling interests in the acquiree and, in a business combination achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value
of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree, and the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the
identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If the difference is negative, it is immediately recognized in
profit or loss. If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the fiscal year in which
the combination occurs, provisional amounts of incomplete items are measured, which are adjusted during the
measurement period within one year from the date of acquisition. Acquisition-related costs incurred are recognized as
expenses. For intangible assets acquired through a business combination, see "(6) Intangible Assets (iii) Intangible
assets acquired in business combinations". For policy on impairment losses of non-financial assets including goodwill,
see "(15) Impairment Losses (ii) Non-financial assets".
(ii) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are consolidated into
those of the Company from the date on which the Company acquires control until the date on which the Company
loses control. Subsidiaries' financial statements are adjusted if their accounting policies differ from those of the
Company. Intra-group balances, transactions and any unrealized gains or losses resulting from intra-group
transactions are eliminated on consolidation. Comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to
non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Non-controlling
interests consist of the amount of those interests recognized initially at the date on which the Company acquires
control and the changes in non-controlling interests since the said date.
The consolidated financial statements contain financial statements of subsidiaries whose closing dates differ from that
of the parent as a result of those dates being required by laws of the countries where those subsidiaries reside. For
those subsidiaries, financial statements are prepared as of and years ended for March 31, and are used in the
consolidated closing date.
(iii) Affiliates
Affiliates are entities in which Toyota Industries has a significant influence, but not control, over financial and operating
policies. Investments in affiliates are accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the Company has
a significant influence until the date on which the Company loses the significant influence.
If accounting policies of affiliates differ from those adopted by Toyota Industries, the Company makes necessary
modifications to align them with those of Toyota Industries.
Under the equity method, the investment is initially measured at cost and is adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition
change in the Toyota Industries' share of the affiliates' net assets. In doing so, the amount equivalent to Toyota
Industries' share of the affiliates' net assets is recognized in profit or loss of the Group. Also, the amount equivalent to
Toyota Industries' share of the affiliates' other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income of
Toyota Industries. The amount equivalent to Toyota Industries' share of the affiliates' loss is recognized as a loss until
the amount exceeds the investment (including long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Toyota
Industries' net investment in that affiliate), and losses in excess of the investment are recognized only to the extent
that Toyota Industries has incurred legal or constructive liabilities or made payments on behalf of the affiliate.
Unrealized gains or losses from significant inter-company transactions are eliminated to the extent of Toyota
Industries' share of the equity interest in the affiliate.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the affiliate at the
date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill and included in the carrying value of the investment, and is not amortized.
― 21 ―
(2) Foreign Currencies
(i) Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are converted into the functional currency of each of Toyota Industries' entities using
the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are converted into the functional currency using the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated
into the functional currency at the spot rate using the exchange rate at the fair value calculation date.
Any exchange difference arising from the retranslation and settlement is recognized in profit or loss of the period.
Foreign currency differences from the translation are recognized in other comprehensive income. When a foreign
operation is disposed of, or control or significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount of exchange
differences related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on the disposal.
(4) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventories includes purchase costs,
processing costs and all other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition, and is calculated
primarily using the moving average method.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of
completion and the estimated costs necessary to sell.
Estimated useful lives and the method of depreciation are reviewed at the fiscal year-end. Changes in estimated
useful lives or depreciation methods are accounted for on a prospective basis as a change in accounting estimate.
Property, plant and equipment, excluding land and construction in progress, are depreciated on a straight-line basis
over their estimated useful lives. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a systematic basis from the commencement
date to the earlier of the end of the economic life of the underlying asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated
useful lives for major classes of assets are as follows.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized on disposal or when it is withdrawn from use and no future
economic benefits are expected from its disposal. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition of an item of property,
plant and equipment is included in profit or loss when it is derecognized.
For the policy on impairment of property, plant and equipment, see "(15) Impairment Losses (ii) Non-financial assets".
― 22 ―
(6) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are measured using the cost model and stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses.
An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognized if,
and only if, all of the following can be demonstrated:
a) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale
b) its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it
c) its ability to use or sell the intangible asset
d) how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits
e) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete development and to use or sell
the intangible asset
f) its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development
The cost of an internally generated intangible asset is the sum of expenditure incurred from the date when the
intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria above to the completion of its development. If an internally
generated asset is not recognized, a development cost is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of
profit or loss in the fiscal year in which it is incurred.
After initial recognition, an internally generated intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization
and accumulated impairment losses.
・ Software: 3 to 5 years
・ Development assets: 2 to 10 years
・ Customer-related assets: 12 to 20 years
・ Technology-related assets: 10 to 20 years
Estimated useful lives and amortization methods are reviewed at each reporting date, and any revisions are applied
as revisions to accounting estimates prospectively.
― 23 ―
(v) Derecognition of intangible assets
An item of intangible assets is derecognized on disposal or when it is withdrawn from use and no future economic
benefits are expected from its disposal. Any gain or loss arising from derecognition of an item of intangible assets is
included in profit or loss when it is derecognized.
For policies on impairment of intangible assets, see "(15) Impairment Losses (ii) Non-financial assets".
(7) Leases
(i) Leases as lessee
Lease liabilities are measured at the discounted present value of outstanding lease payments at the commencement
date of the lease. After the commencement date of the lease, lease liabilities are measured by increasing the carrying
amount to reflect interest on the lease liabilities and reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
The interest rate implicit in the lease (if that rate can be readily determined) or lessee's incremental borrowing rate is
used for the discount rate.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost that is the initial measurement amount of lease liability at the
commencement date of the lease adjusted by the amount of any initial direct costs, prepaid lease payments and other
expenses. After the commencement date of the lease, right-of-use assets are measured at cost less any accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses as determined using the cost model. Right-of-use assets are
depreciated on a systematic basis from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the economic life of the
underlying asset or the end of the lease term.
Right-of-use assets are included in "Property, plant and equipment" or "Goodwill and intangible assets". Lease
liabilities are included in "Other financial liabilities (Current liabilities)" or "Other financial liabilities (Non-current
liabilities)".
Lease payments for short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognized as expense using the straight-
line method over the lease term. For contracts that include a lease component and a non-lease component, the
Company accounts for the lease component and the non-lease component as a single lease component without
separating the non-lease component.
In reference to whether a contract is a lease or whether a contract contains a lease, Toyota Industries makes
judgments based on the substance of the contract even though it is not legally considered as a lease.
For financial leases, an amount equal to the net investment in the lease by discounting the total amount of lease
payments and unguaranteed residual value with the interest rate implicit in the lease is recorded as lease investment
assets. If Toyota Industries is a manufacturer or distributor lessor in a lease, selling profit or loss in a financial lease is
recognized in accordance with the accounting policy it follows for sales of goods (see "(12) Revenues"). Financial
income is allocated to each period over the lease term so that the interest rate is proportional to an amount equal to
the net investment in the lease. If Toyota Industries is not a manufacturer or distributor lessor in a lease, financial
income is allocated to each period over the lease term so that the interest rate will be proportional to an amount equal
to the net investment in the lease.
Income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic
basis is more representative of the time pattern in which use benefit derived from the leased asset is diminished.

(8) Provisions
The Company recognizes provisions if it has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the
amount of obligation can be reliably estimated.
In case the time value of money is significant, the amount of a provision is measured at the present value of the
amount of expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation.
Toyota Industries' liabilities (assets) in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated for each plan by estimating the
amount of future benefits earned by employees in the previous fiscal year and the fiscal year under review,
discounting that amount to the present value, deducting the fair value of plan assets, making adjustments concerning
the asset ceiling to that amount and, where necessary, considering economic benefits available. Remeasurements of
liabilities (assets) in respect of defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income and at the time of
their occurrence directly transferred from other components of equity to retained earnings. Past service cost is
recognized in profit or loss as it occurs. Market yields on high-quality corporate bonds with roughly the same maturity
as that of Toyota Industries' net defined benefit liabilities at the end of the reporting period are used as the discount
rate. Interest expenses on liabilities (asset) in respect of defined benefit plans are presented as financial expenses.
Contributions under the defined contribution plan are expensed as the employees' services are provided.
For bonuses, if Toyota Industries has the present legal and constructive obligation to pay them as the result of past
services provided by employees and the amount can be reliably estimated, the amount estimated to be paid is
recognized as a liability.
Market yields on high-quality corporate bonds with roughly the same maturity as that of Toyota Industries' long-term
employee benefits at the end of the reporting period are used as the discount rate.

(11) Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity
instrument of another entity. The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to
the contract of a financial instrument. A purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized or derecognized at the trade
date.
For details of fair value measurement, see "29. Financial Instruments (3) Fair value of financial instruments".
(Equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI))
Shares and other financial assets held mainly for the purpose of maintaining or enhancing business relationships
with investors are designated at initial recognition as financial assets at FVTOCI.
Equity instruments at FVTOCI are measured at fair value at initial recognition and changes in fair value thereafter
are recognized in other comprehensive income. However, dividends arising from financial assets at FVTOCI are
recognized in profit or loss.
If an equity instrument at FVTOCI is derecognized, the cumulative amount of other comprehensive income
recognized in other components of equity on the consolidated statement of financial position is directly transferred
to retained earnings.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at initial recognition and changes in fair value thereafter are
recognized in profit or loss.
A financial liability is derecognized when its contractual obligations are discharged or canceled, or expire.
― 26 ―
(iii) Derivatives
Toyota Industries holds derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency and interest rate fluctuation risks,
including foreign currency forward contracts, currency options, currency swaps, interest rate swaps, interest rate and
currency swaps, and interest rate options.
For all of these derivatives, Toyota Industries recognizes financial assets or financial liabilities when it becomes the
party to these derivatives contracts.
Some of derivatives Toyota Industries holds for hedging purposes do not meet hedge accounting requirements.
Changes in fair value of these derivatives are immediately recognized in profit or loss.
Toyota Industries adopts cash flow hedges and fair value hedges as a hedge accounting method.
(12) Revenues
Toyota Industries recognizes revenue based on the following five-step model.
Step 1: Identify the contract with a customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Toyota Industries sells automotive-related products such as vehicles, engines, foundry parts for engines, car air-
conditioning compressors, electronics parts and batteries in the Automobile Business; lift trucks, warehouse trucks
and aerial work platforms in the Materials Handling Equipment Business; and weaving machinery, spinning machinery,
instruments for yarn testing and cotton classing in the Textile Machinery Business. For sales of such products, since
the customer obtains control over the product when a customer accepts goods after inspection, and therefore the
performance obligation is judged to have been satisfied, Toyota Industries normally recognizes revenue when a
customer accepts goods after inspection. Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration promised in a contract
with the customer, net of discounts, incentives to distributors and other items.
For maintenance contracts and other services that include construction contracts in the Materials Handling Equipment
Business such as automated storage and retrieval systems, and logistics solutions, Toyota Industries recognizes
revenue based on the progress of performance obligation. The progress level is mainly computed according to the
ratio of cumulative cost incurred against the total amount of estimated cost.

(13) Financial Income and Financial Expenses
Financial income includes interest income, dividends income, gains on foreign currency translation and gain on
derivatives (excluding gain or loss on hedging instruments that are recognized in other comprehensive income).
Interest income is recognized as earned using the effective interest method. Dividends income is recognized on the
date of Toyota Industries' vesting.
Financial expenses include interest expense, losses on foreign currency translation and loss on derivatives (excluding
loss on hedging instruments that are recognized in other comprehensive income).
Taxes for the fiscal year under review are the expected taxes payable or receivable on the taxable profit or loss for the
year, using the tax rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities for accounting purposes and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the
temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction not related to a business
combination and affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit. Also, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if
the taxable temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries
and affiliates. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if Toyota Industries is able to control the reversal of
the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only
recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the
benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates expected to apply in the period in which the asset
realized or the liability is settled based on tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the
reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and when income taxes are levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable
entity, or on different taxable entities that intend either to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to
realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the
extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. The carrying amount
of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profits will be earned to allow related tax benefits to be realized.
In addition, exceptions to recognition and disclosure are applied with respect to deferred tax assets and liabilities
related to tax laws enacted to implement the Pillar 2 (global minimum tax) model rule of the tax base erosion and
profit shifting (BEPS) project announced by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

(15) Impairment Losses
(i) Financial assets
Financial assets measured at amortized cost are assessed for impairment losses based on expected credit losses.
At the end of the reporting period, if credit risk has not increased significantly after initial recognition, the amount of
loss allowance is calculated based on the expected credit losses resulting from default events that are possible within
12 months after the reporting date (12-month expected credit losses). On the other hand, at the end of the reporting
period, if credit risk has increased significantly after initial recognition, the amount of loss allowance is calculated
based on the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument
(lifetime expected credit losses).
However, regardless of the above, lifetime expected credit loss measurement always applies to trade receivables and
lease investment assets without a significant financing component.
For details, see "29. Financial Instruments (2) Matters concerning risk management".
A cash-generating unit (CGU), which is a unit for conducting impairment testing, is the smallest group of assets that
generates cash inflows that are generally independent of cash flows of other assets or groups of assets. A CGU for
goodwill is the smallest unit monitored for internal control purposes and is no larger than an operating segment before
aggregation. Impairment testing for goodwill is conducted at a CGU or a group of CGUs for the smallest unit
monitored for internal control purposes and within the scope of an operating segment before aggregation.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use or its fair value less cost to sell. In
calculating the value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted to the present value using a pre-tax discount
rate that reflects the time value of money and risks specific to the asset not considered in estimating future cash flows.
Because corporate assets do not generate independent cash inflows, if there is an indication that a corporate asset
may be impaired, impairment testing is conducted based on the recoverable amount for the CGU to which the
corporate asset belongs.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. An
impairment loss recognized in relation to a CGU is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of assets within the CGU
on a pro rata basis determined by the relative carrying amount of each asset.
An asset or CGU impaired in prior years is reviewed at every reporting fiscal year-end to determine whether there is
any indication of a reversal of impairment loss recognized in prior years. The recoverable amount is estimated for an
impairment loss recognized in prior years for an asset or CGU with an indication of reversal of impairment, and the
impairment loss is reversed if the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount. The carrying amount after
reversal of the impairment loss must not exceed the carrying amount of the asset that would be determined if no
impairment had been recognized and the asset had been depreciated or amortized until the reversal. An impairment
loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed.

(16) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity by
the weighted-average number of common stock issued and outstanding after adjusting treasury stock for each
calculation period. Diluted earnings per share take into account the impacts of all dilutive shares that bear the effects
of dilution in calculating the weighted-average number of shares issued and outstanding.

4. Segment Information
The operating segments reported below are the segments of Toyota Industries for which separate financial information
is available and are subject to evaluate regularly by executive management in deciding how to allocate resources and
in assessing performance.
The reporting segments of Toyota Industries consist of Automobile, Materials Handling Equipment and Textile
Machinery. The similarity of products and services are taken into account for the separation. Within the Automobile
Segment, vehicles, engines, car air-conditioning compressors and others are included due to the similarity of their
economic characteristics such as net sales. The main products and services of each segment are as follows.
The accounting method of reporting segment information is based on "3. Material Accounting Policies".
Segment profit is based on operating profit.

(2) Impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life
Toyota Industries performs, with respect to goodwill, impairment testing as necessary during each period or in case
there is a sign of impairment. The recoverable value in impairment testing is calculated based on value in use.
Value in use is calculated by discounting the estimated amount of cash flows based on the business plan for the next
five years that has been primarily approved by the management in present value. The estimation of cash flows is
based on the assumption that cash flows of more than five years will increase at a certain growth rate. The growth rate
is determined by referencing the long-term expected growth rate of the market in which cash-generating units belong
(about 0 to 3%). The discount rate is calculated based on the weighted-average capital cost before tax of cash-
generating units (about 8 to 9%).
Toyota Industries concluded that even if there were reasonably possible changes in key assumptions used in the
impairment assessment, it is unlikely that a material impairment would arise.
With respect to the balance of goodwill as of the end of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, major items
include: goodwill recognized in conjunction with the acquisition of the Cascade Corporation Group in the Materials
Handling Equipment Segment; goodwill recognized in conjunction with the business transfer of Toyota Industries
Commercial Finance, Inc. (TICF); goodwill recognized in conjunction with the acquisition of the Vanderlande Group;
goodwill recognized in conjunction with the acquisition of the Bastian Group; and goodwill recognized in conjunction
with the acquisition of the Uster Technologies AG Group in the Textile Machinery Segment. Goodwill recognized in
conjunction with the acquisition of the Cascade Corporation Group is allocated to the Materials Handling Equipment
Business which is functioning as the cash-generating unit and amounts to 29,903 million yen and 32,625 million yen as
of the end of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. Goodwill recognized in conjunction with the
business transfer of TICF is allocated to the Materials Handling Equipment Business in North America which is
functioning as the cash-generating unit and amounts to 28,708 million yen and 31,321 million yen as of the end of the
fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. Goodwill recognized in conjunction with the acquisition of
the Vanderlande Group is allocated to the Material Handling Equipment Business which is functioning as the cash-
generating unit and amounts to 67,852 million yen and 72,283 million yen as of the end of the fiscal years ended March
31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. Goodwill recognized in conjunction with the acquisition of the Bastian Group is
allocated to the Material Handling Equipment Business which is functioning as the cash-generating unit and amounts to
15,752 million yen and 17,185 million yen as of the end of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023,
respectively. Goodwill recognized in conjunction with the acquisition of the viastore Group is allocated to the Material
Handling Equipment Business which is functioning as the cash-generating unit and amounts to 24,349 million yen as of
the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. Goodwill recognized in conjunction with the acquisition of the Uster
Technologies AG Group is allocated to Uster Technologies AG group and amounts to 19,108 million yen and 20,725
million yen as of the end of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life included in intangible assets recognized on business combinations
amounted to 42,134 million yen and 45,403 million yen at the end of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023,
respectively. These assets are primarily related to trademark recognized in connection with the acquisition of the
Vanderlande Group in the Materials Handling Equipment Segment. The Toyota Industries Group determined the useful
life to be indefinite because the trademark will survive for as long as the business continues. Intangible assets with an
indefinite useful life recognized in connection with the acquisition of the Vanderlande Group were allocated on the basis
that the Vanderlande Group is a group of cash-generating units and amounted to 24,742 million yen and 26,375 million
yen at the end of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

The warranty provision is recorded by recognizing the amount of expected expense payments required for future
repairs. It is expected in many cases that a repair or a payment is made within a year, while repairs or payments for
some items are made over a longer period of time because customers take longer to physically return defective
products. Regarding specific products for which the implementation of countermeasures against failures has been
determined, the warranty provision is recorded by individually assessing the amounts expected to be incurred, based
on estimates of fault rectification cost per unit, the number of units subject to fault rectification, and other market
measures. Moreover, the number of units subject to fault rectification is estimated based on the actual result of past
recalls and other market measures. In the event that a warranty obligation arises due to defects in the Company's
products which were not anticipated in the initial estimate of the provision or that the amount of warranty expense
exceeds the amount of the provision, there is a possibility that an additional warranty provision will be required. On the
other hand, if the actual warranty expense is lower than the initial estimate, a reversal of the warranty provision will be
recorded. During this fiscal year, the warranty provision includes provision for market measures related to the issue of
the certification 9,653 million yen of engines for markets in Japan.
Asset retirement obligations are accounted for by recognizing provision for asset demolition/disposal expenses,
expenses for restoring an asset to its original condition and payments arising as a result of using assets as well as by
adding to the acquisition cost of the respective assets (property, plant and equipment, such as buildings). The
respective assets are depreciated over the number of years of depreciation as indicated "3. material Accounting
Policies".
"Others" mainly includes provision for litigation. Provisions of 11,079 million yen related to domestic engine certification
matter are also included in the fiscal year under review. Moreover, an allowance is provided for the estimated cost
arising from the suspension of shipments, including coverage for substitute trucks that arises in connection with delays
in delivery of ordered lift trucks and redress for suppliers. The estimated amount is based on the monthly cost incurred
and shipment suspension period by lift truck model. This calculation is based on estimates and is inherently subject to
uncertainty. Accordingly, actual expenses may differ from estimates, and there is a possibility that additional provisions
or a reversal of provisions will become necessary. These costs arising from suspension of shipments are expected to
be paid during the next fiscal year.

17. Employee Benefits
In regard to total expenses for employee benefits plans including other than post-employment plans, refer to "21.
Breakdown of Expenses by Nature".
The defined benefit pension plan, in compliance with relevant laws and regulations and with the consent of the
employees, sets the pension agreement stipulating the policy around eligibility, what is provided through the plan and
the contributions to be made by the Company. The agreement is approved by the Minister of Health, Labour, and
Welfare. Under the agreement, the Company enters into a contract with an entrusted pension management institution
on the payment of contributions as well as the management of plan assets to operate the pension plan. The pension
management institution has a fiduciary responsibility to manage the plan assets in accordance with the agreement.
Furthermore, a retirement benefit trust is set for some plans in Japan. Some subsidiaries outside Japan also adopt a
wide range of defined benefit plans in accordance with local laws and regulations.

Toyota Industries' basic policy for managing plan assets aims to secure profits required over the long term, within the
scope of acceptable risks, to meet future benefit payment requirements under the defined benefit corporate pension
contract.
The targeted earnings rate is the earnings rate necessary to maintain the sound operation of the defined benefit
corporate pension into the future, which specifically means that the earnings rate exceeds the expected rate which
becomes the basis of calculation of future contribution under pension finance.
Both the Company and the institution entrusted with management are to confirm that the asset allocation for achieving
management's target is consistent with the basic investment policy and that the asset allocation ratios are revised as
required.
The basic policy may be amended in accordance with changes to the conditions of the Company and the systems and
the environment surrounding the Company.

(1) Disaggregation of revenues
As specified in Note 4 "Segment Information," the reporting segments of the Toyota Industries consist of Automobile,
Materials Handling Equipment and Textile Machinery. Within the Automobile Segment, vehicles, engines, car air-
conditioning compressors and others are included due to the similarity of their trend of sales and other economic
characteristics. In addition, sales are geographically broken down according to the location of customers. The
disaggregation of sales of these sub-segments as well as sales of each reporting segment are as follows.
Receivables from contracts with customers and Contract assets are included in "Trade receivables and other
receivables" and Contract liabilities are included in "Trade payables and other payables" in the consolidated statement
of financial position.
Revenue recognized in the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, which was included in the balance at beginning of

year ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, the profit amounts recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or
partially satisfied) in previous fiscal years were immaterial.
As the amount equivalent to machines sales for financial leases were reclassified from revenues from contracts with
customers to revenues from other sources from FY2023, lease investment assets were excluded from receivables from
contracts with customers. To be comparable, the balances at the beginning and end of the previous fiscal year have

29. Financial Instruments
(1) Capital management
Toyota Industries' financial policy is to ensure sufficient financing and liquidity for its business activities and to maintain
strong financial position. Through the use of such current assets as cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments, as well as cash flows from operating activities, issuance of corporate bonds and loans from financial
institutions, Toyota Industries believes that it will be able to provide sufficient funds for the working capital necessary to
expand existing businesses and develop new projects. The Company defines equity capital as the amount of share of
equity attributable to owners of the parent excluding the subscription rights to shares.
The Company is not subject to external capital controls as of March 31, 2023.
The Company uses derivatives to avoid the risks explained below and does not engage in speculative transactions.
i) Credit risk
The main receivables of Toyota Industries such as accounts receivable, lease investment assets and loans
receivable related to the sales financing business have credit risk (risk concerning non-performance of an agreement
by the counterparty). In accordance with internal rules including the treasury policy, Toyota Industries strives to
promptly identify and reduce concerns about collection due to a deterioration in the financial conditions and others of
its main counterparties by regularly monitoring their situation based on their financial statements, ratings and others,
and conducting due date management and balance management. Collection risk of lease investment assets is
minimal because their ownership is not transferred and due date management and balance management are
conducted. Toyota Industries has no material concentrations of credit risk with any counterparty.
When using derivative transactions, Toyota Industries mainly deals with only financial institutions evaluated as highly
creditworthy by rating agencies to mitigate the counterparty risk.
Regarding accounts receivable, lease investment assets and loans receivable related to the sales financing business,
if all or part of them cannot be collected or are deemed to be extremely difficult to collect, they are regarded as non-
performing.
The total carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum exposure to credit risk.

Because there is no material financing component in accounts receivable, the loss evaluation allowance is
calculated as lifetime expected credit losses until collection of accounts receivable. For lease investment assets,
the loss evaluation allowance is calculated as lifetime expected credit losses until collection of lease investment
assets. With regard to accounts receivable and lease investment assets of debtors who have no material problems
in their business conditions, the expected credit loss rate is measured collectively, taking into account the past
track record of bad debts and other factors. If there are material effects of changes in economic and other
conditions, the loan loss provision ratio based on the past track record of bad debts will be adjusted and reflected
in the forecast of present and future economic situations.

(Measuring expected credit loss for loans receivable related to the sales financing business)
If credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the loss evaluation allowance for loans
receivable related to the sales financing business is calculated as of the end of the fiscal year by collectively
estimating the expected credit loss rate for the following 12 months based on the past track record of bad debts
and other factors. If there are material effects of changes in economic and other conditions, the loan loss provision
ratio based on the past track record of bad debts will be adjusted and reflected in the forecast of present and
future economic situations. On the other hand, if credit risk has increased significantly as of the end of the fiscal
year since the initial recognition, the loss evaluation allowance for financial instruments is calculated by individually
estimating the lifetime expected credit losses of collecting financial instruments based on the past track record of
bad debts and the collectible amount in the future among other factors. Assets that are regarded as non-
performing are recorded as credit impaired financial assets.
Expected credit loss of accounts receivable and lease investment assets for which simplified approaches are applied
consist of the following.
Among financial assets, the general approach is applied mainly to loans receivable related to the sales financing
business. The carrying amount of loans receivable related to the sales financing business, categorized by credit risk
for its measurement, consists of the following.

Changes in expected credit loss consist of the following.

ii) Liquidity risk
With financing through corporate bonds and loans, Toyota Industries is exposed to liquidity risk that a payment
cannot be made on the due date because of a deterioration in financing and other conditions. In accordance with the
treasury policy, Toyota Industries prepares funding plans and secures liquidity with funds on hand and commitment
lines.
― 68 ―
iii) Market risk
(a) Foreign currency risk
Engaged in business globally, Toyota Industries conducts transactions in foreign currencies and is exposed to the
risk that profit or loss, cash flow and others will be affected by exchange rate fluctuations. In accordance with its
treasury policy, in principle, Toyota Industries uses foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency option
contracts and foreign currency swaps to hedge foreign currency risk for each currency for its monetary credits and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

Euro 131 234
As a result, the Company does not conduct an interest rate sensitivity analysis because interest rate fluctuations
have little effect on the interest payment of Toyota Industries, and exposure to interest rate risk is considered
immaterial for Toyota Industries.
― 69 ―
(c) Price fluctuation risk of equity financial instruments
Toyota Industries holds listed shares of companies with business relationships and is exposed to price fluctuation
risk of equity financial instruments. Toyota Industries constantly reviews the status of its holdings of these financial
instruments, taking into account relationships with and financial conditions of business partners.
Toyota Industries does not hold equity financial instruments for trading purposes and does not actively trade these
investments.
If Toyota Industries assumes a 1% decline in the prices of listed shares held by Toyota Industries on the fiscal
years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, decreases in other comprehensive income (before adjusting tax effect)
would have been 35,695 million yen and 31,407 million yen, respectively.
Liquidity discounts are an important unobservable input used to measure the fair value of unlisted shares and
other equity securities. A material increase (decrease) of these discounts will cause a material decrease (increase)
in fair value.
The following three levels of inputs are used to measure fair value.
(Level 1)
The market prices of the same assets or liabilities in active markets (which continuously ensure sufficient trading
frequencies and transaction volumes) that Toyota Industries has access to as of the measurement date are used
without adjustments.
(Level 2)
This level includes the published prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets; the published prices of the
same assets or liabilities in inactive markets; inputs other than the observable published prices of assets and liabilities;
and inputs calculated or supported mainly by observable market data.
(Level 3)
Because data are available only from limited markets, Toyota Industries uses unobservable inputs which reflect the
judgment of Toyota Industries in the assumptions used by market participants to decide the prices of assets and
liabilities. Toyota Industries calculates inputs based on the best available information, including the data of Toyota
Industries itself.
When using multiple inputs to measure fair value, the fair value level is determined based on the material input from
the lowest level in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is measured by the Accounting Department in accordance with
the evaluation policy and procedures of Toyota Industries, using the evaluation model that can most appropriately
reflect individual characteristics, features and risks of financial instruments. Moreover, changes are continuously
examined for important indicators which affect fluctuations of fair value.
― 70 ―
(i) Financial instruments measured at amortized cost
The carrying amount and fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost consist of the following.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities
Notes are omitted for short-term financial assets and short-term financial liabilities that are measured at amortized cost
because the fair value approximates the carrying amount.
The fair value of loans receivable and loans receivable related to the sales financing business is calculated with
present value obtained by discounting the total amount of principal and interest with the expected interest rate when
newly undertaking similar lending.
The fair value of lease investment assets is calculated with present value obtained by discounting the total amount of
future lease receivables with the expected interest rate when newly undertaking similar lease transactions.
The fair values of corporate bonds and long-term loans are calculated with present value obtained by discounting the
total amount of future principal and interest with the expected interest rate when newly undertaking similar borrowings.
― 71 ―
(ii) Fair values of financial assets and liabilities continuously at fair value
The fair-value hierarchy of financial instruments measured at fair value consist of the following. Financial assets
measured at fair value through other comprehensive income include debt instruments, but they were immaterial.
Moreover, there is no transfer between different levels.
― 72 ―
Derivatives are transactions for forward exchange contracts, foreign currency option contracts, interest rate swaps,
interest rate and currency swaps, and interest rate options.
Fair value of forward exchange contracts is calculated based on observable market data including forward exchange
rates. Data for the fair value of foreign currency option contracts, interest rate swaps, interest rate and currency swaps
and interest rate options are calculated by financial institutions based on observable market data.
Toyota Industries uses the modified book value method when measuring the fair value of unlisted shares and other
equity securities categorized as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The
illiquidity discount, which is an important unobservable input used to measure the fair value of unlisted shares, is
calculated as 30%.

(4) Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities
Among derivative transactions of Toyota Industries, there are master netting agreements of similar agreements. Under
these agreements, if non-performance occurs between contracting parties of an agreement, receivables and payables of
business partners will be settled in net amounts.

(5) Derivative transactions and hedging activities
Toyota Industries has concluded derivative agreements with financial institutions to hedge changes in cash flows or fair
value of financial assets and financial liabilities. Forward exchange contracts and currency options are used to hedge
foreign currency risks concerning trade receivables, trade payables and others denominated in foreign currencies.
Moreover, currency swaps, interest rate swaps, interest rate and currency swaps, and interest options are used to hedge
foreign currency risk and interest rate risk of borrowings, corporate bonds and lease investment assets. Toyota Industries
applies hedge accounting for items that meet hedge accounting requirements.
In the execution and management of hedge transactions, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk are hedged in
accordance with treasury policy. Moreover, the status of hedge transactions is regularly reported to the director in charge
of accounting and other responsible people.
Regarding foreign currency risk in operating activities, a certain amount of targeted risks is hedged, with the total amount
of targeted risks set as the upper limit. However, among targeted risks, usance transactions are in principle fully covered.
Regarding the foreign currency risk of investing activities which require a resolution of the Board of Directors, the full
amount is hedged in principle. For the foreign currency risk of other investing activities and financing activities, the full
amount is hedged as necessary.
The effectiveness of hedging is evaluated by comparing the market fluctuations or the accumulated changes in cash
flows of hedged items and hedging instruments during the period from the start of hedging to the evaluation of the
effectiveness respectively. A high correlation has been observed between the two. Moreover, regarding hedges with
prospective ineffective portions, the ineffective amount is calculated using quantitative methods. Because the important
conditions for hedging instruments and hedged items are consistent or closely consistent, the amount of ineffective
portions is immaterial, and it has been omitted.
Toyota Industries sets an appropriate hedging ratio based on the volumes of hedged items and hedging instruments at
the start of hedge transactions, establishing a one-on-one relationship in principle. If the hedging relationship comes to be
deemed not effective but there is no change in the purpose of risk management, the hedging ratio established at the start
of the hedging relationship is readjusted to make the relationship effective again. Moreover, if the purpose of risk
management is changed for the hedging relationship, application of hedge accounting is suspended.
― 76 ―
Toyota Industries may be affected by interest rate benchmark reform in its hedging transactions. USD LIBOR is mainly
expected to be replaced by SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) as of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. There
are differences between USD LIBOR and SOFR. USD LIBOR is a term interest rate and pre-determined, because it is
issued at the beginning of the borrowing period with fixed term (3 months, 6 months, etc.). On the other hand, SOFR is a
post-determined interest rate based on the overnight rate from the actual transaction and is determined at the end of the
overnight borrowing period. Moreover, LIBOR incorporates risk-free rates and credit spreads, while SOFR does not.
When making a reference rate transition from USD LIBOR to SOFR in existing contracts and arrangements, it may
become necessary to adjust differences in terms and credit so that the two benchmark interest rates align economically
at the transition. The replacement rate has not been fixed for certain transactions.
Among derivatives designated as hedge transactions as of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, those that will be
affected by interest rate benchmark reform are interest rate swap transactions (notional principal of 216,318 million yen),
interest rate and currency swap transactions that use USD LIBOR as a reference rate (notional principal of 36,186 million
yen). These hedge transactions are held mainly to hedge exposure to variability in cash flows arising from floating rate
borrowings. However, application of Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 (issued
in September 2019) permit the continuation of hedge accounting during the period of uncertainty arising from the interest
rate benchmark reform prior to the replacement of the existing interest rate benchmarks with alternative interest rate
benchmarks. Therefore, Toyota Industries will not be affected.
Toyota Industries will continue to apply the relief measures provided for in the amendments until the period of uncertainty
arising from the interest rate benchmark reform is over. Toyota Industries assumes that this uncertainty will not end until
the contracts are amended with regard to the date of replacement with alternative benchmark rates, alternative
benchmark rates based on cash flows and related spread adjustments for the alternative benchmark rates.
Financial instruments referencing USD LIBOR at the end of the current fiscal year are as follows.

Independent Auditor's Report
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Toyota Industries Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Group),
which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at March 31, 2023, and the consolidated statement of
income, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of the Group as at March 31, 2023, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash
flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial
Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are
relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Japan, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters.

CGU and the Vanderlande CGU principally based on
the five-year business plan approved by management.
An assumed increasing growth rate is used to
extrapolate cash flows beyond the five-year period.
The business plan is prepared based on production
and sales strategies including the launch of new
products according to local market conditions based on
customer location as well as capital expenditure plans.
The increasing growth rate used for cash flows beyond
the five-year period is determined with reference to the
expected long-term growth rate of markets to which the
Materials Handling Equipment CGU and the
Vanderlande CGU belong. The discount rate is
determined based on the weighted average cost of
capital (pre-tax) of the Materials Handling Equipment
CGU and the Vanderlande CGU. The Group concludes
that it is highly unlikely that these assets will be
significantly impaired even if these assumptions
change within a reasonable and predictable range
(Note 10 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”).
The goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives are material to the consolidated financial
statements. In addition, the calculation of value in use
in impairment testing uses assumptions such as
estimates of future cash flows based on the five-year
business plan, growth rates, and discount rates, all of
which involve management's subjective judgment.
Therefore, we considered the audit of the impairment
assessment for goodwill and intangible assets with
indefinite useful lives for these CGUs to be a key audit
matter.

Other Information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Financial Report, but does not include the
consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Management is responsible for the other information. In
addition, those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's reporting process of the other
information.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form
of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we
are required to report that fact.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in Japan will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan, we exercise professional judgment
and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
・ Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
・ Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, while the purpose of the consolidated financial statement audit is not to express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
・ Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
・ Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant
doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if
such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up
to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a
going concern.
・ Evaluate whether the presentation and disclosures of the consolidated financial statements are in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards, the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
・ Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities
within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of
the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our
audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the
matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of
such communication.
Our firm and its designated engagement partners do not have any interest in the Group which is required to be disclosed
pursuant to the provisions of the Certified Public Accountants Act of Japan.
