Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.
Consolidated vehicle sales totalled 8,976,795 units, an increase of 12,401 units compared to the previous fiscal year. On a consolidated basis, net revenues for the period totalled 30.2256 trillion yen (*$272.30 billion), increased 0.8461 trillion yen (*$7.62 billion). Operating income increased from 2.3998 trillion yen (*$21.61 billion) to 2.4675 trillion yen (*$22.22 billion), while income before income taxes was 2.2854 trillion yen (*$20.58 billion). Net income2 decreased from 2.4939 trillion yen (*$22.46 billion) to 1.8828 trillion yen (*$16.96 billion).
Operating income increased by 67.6 billion yen (*$609.00 million). Major factors contributing to the increase included an increase of 275.0 billion yen (*$2.47 billion) in marketing efforts.
TMC Operating Officer Masayoshi Shirayanagi said: “Excluding the overall impact of foreign exchange rates, swap valuation gains and losses and other factors, operating income improved by 190 billion yen (*$1.71 billion) year on year. While net income decreased by 611.1 billion yen ($5.50 billion) year on year, this is largely due to specified factors that the net income of the same period of the previous fiscal year includes a positive impact of 249.6 billion yen ($2.24 billion) due to the US tax reform and that net income of the fiscal year that ended in March 2019 includes a negative impact of 293.7 billion yen ($2.64 billion) of unrealized gains and losses on securities due to the market deterioration during such fiscal year.”
