 Rogers Corporation Raises Third Quarter Guidance to Record Sales and Earnings

    ROGERS, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 10, 2006--Rogers Corporation
(NYSE:ROG) today announced revised guidance for its third quarter of
2006. Rogers now projects record third quarter net sales of
approximately $123 million compared to the July 27, 2006, guidance of
$105 to $109 million. Earnings for the third quarter are now projected
to be $0.87 to $0.89 per diluted share, an all-time record. The
previous earnings guidance was $0.73 to $0.77 per diluted share.

    Robert D. Wachob, President and CEO, commented, "We are pleased to
project record third quarter results, our fourth consecutive quarter
of record sales. The significant increase in sales from our original
July guidance was driven primarily by the greater than anticipated
sales of our materials and components into the portable communications
market. Of this increase, sales of electroluminescent keypad
backlighting lamps as well as advances in the market share of our
semiconductor inverters accounted for the majority. We also expect to
report, in our third quarter results later this month, that all four
of our reporting segments achieved double-digit growth rates in sales,
year-over-year."

    The Company expects to report third quarter results after the
market closes on October 26, 2006, and will provide guidance for the
fourth quarter of 2006 at that time.
