Strong Results: Toyota reported operating income of JPY 2 trillion for the first half, supported by robust global demand and improved productivity.

Guidance Raised: The company increased its full-year operating income forecast to JPY 3.4 trillion and its full-year dividend forecast by JPY 5 to JPY 95 per share.

Electrified Vehicles: Electrified vehicles accounted for 46.9% of sales, driven mainly by hybrid demand in North America and China.

Production and Supply: Toyota maintained stable production, addressed semiconductor risks, and highlighted strong inventory turns in the US.

Brand and Product Expansion: The company launched the new Century brand and continues to diversify its product lineup to expand customer choice.

Value Chain Growth: Value chain profits hit JPY 2 trillion, doubled over five years through enhanced customer retention and expanded services.

No New Buyback: Share repurchases remain flexible, but no new program will be launched beyond the JPY 3.2 trillion allocated for taking Toyota Industries private.
