We are pleased to present Wacom’s Annual Report for our 26th fiscal year, representing results

user interface solutions to be natural to use and people-friendly, and we are proud that our pen
tablet products are used throughout the world in some of the most amazing digital art, films,
fashion designs, medical and other industry projects.
As digital technology becomes an integral part of our lives, we know that intuitive, simple-to-use
interface solutions will play an increasingly crucial role. We want to take a fresh new look at this
brave new world and create solutions to enhance and enrich lives – supporting you to enjoy a life
