   Rogers Corporation Postpones Fourth Quarter Earnings Release and
                            Conference Call

    ROGERS, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 17, 2005--Rogers Corporation
(NYSE:ROG) announced today that it will postpone its earnings release,
scheduled for today, and conference call, scheduled for tomorrow, to a
later date.
    Robert D. Wachob, President and CEO stated: "Due to our
implementation in 2004 of the measures required to address the various
recent regulatory actions, including Sarbanes Oxley and the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board, we have identified some potential
issues associated with our accounting for deferred income taxes. We do
not anticipate the final outcome of our analysis to have an adverse
effect on our net income, financial position, or cash flows; however,
it may favorably impact net income for the fourth quarter and full
year 2004. We expect to complete the required analysis soon;
therefore, we should be in a position to announce a new date for our
fourth quarter earnings release next week. We expect that our fourth
quarter sales and earnings, before whatever adjustments may be needed,
will be at the high end of our previously reported guidance of sales
of $84 to $86 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.24 to
$0.27.
