          Rogers Corporation Reports Preliminary Third Quarter Results

                             "All-time record sales"

     ROGERS, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 26, 2006--Rogers Corporation
(NYSE:ROG) announced today that it achieved all-time record quarterly sales in
the third quarter of $124.0 million, up 45% compared to the $85.4 million in the
third quarter of 2005. Excluding the potential impact from any adjustment
related to the potential tax reconciliation explained below, non-GAAP pro-forma
net earnings for the quarter were $1.07 per diluted share. This pro-forma amount
includes a one-time tax benefit of $0.16 per diluted share, resulting from the
successful resolution of an IRS audit covering tax years 2002 and 2003, and the
completion of certain state tax audits. Third quarter 2005 GAAP earnings were
$0.59 per share including a $0.10 positive adjustment from one-time tax
benefits.

     The Company cannot at this time reconcile the 2006 non-GAAP financial
measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The Company at
this time does not know the exact amount of the tax adjustment, discussed in
more detail below. A reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP earnings for the third
quarter of 2005 is included at the end of this release.

     As part of the Company's extensive ongoing remediation efforts connected to
the previously disclosed tax-related material weakness, the Company believes
that tax assets, currently amounting to approximately $2.3 million, require
reconciliation before GAAP earnings can be reported. Once the Company's
reconciliation of this amount is completed, adjustments may be required to
either the balance sheet or to the income statements. If material, these
adjustments could result in a restatement of 2005 results. If not material, an
adjustment to current year's earnings may be required. The Company is committed
to improving its tax processes and resolving this matter prior to filing its
third quarter 10Q.

     Robert D. Wachob, Rogers' President and CEO, commented, "This quarter's
record sales level was the result of growth across all of our reporting
segments, and in most of our markets. Leading the way was our Custom Electrical
Components reporting segment with a 146% sales increase compared to last year's
third quarter due to significant increased penetration into the portable
communications market. We believe this momentum will continue in the fourth
quarter."

     Custom Electrical Components

     Sales of Custom Electrical Components drove much of the unanticipated sales
growth for the Company this quarter with a record $46.0 million for the quarter,
up 146% compared to last year's third quarter. Despite this significant sales
growth, global manufacturing operations and the Company's contract manufacturing
operations are running smoothly as they reach capacity. The increased sales in
the quarter and market share gains are primarily in the portable communication
devices market. The Company is planning to add more electroluminescent (EL) lamp
production capacity this year in Suzhou, China, to keep pace with the current
demand outlook. The consumer trend towards thin profile phones, with superior
backlit keypads utilizing EL lamps, is expected to continue to drive sales next
year.

     Printed Circuit Materials

     The Printed Circuit Materials reporting segment sales totaled $39.9
million, up 20% from the third quarter of 2005. Sales in the Company's key
strategic end markets, cellular communication infrastructure and satellite TV,
were in line with expectations and are expected to continue. Rogers is also
seeing improved traction with its advanced circuit materials in smaller emerging
markets such as local area networks, Wifi, WiMAX, and semiconductor chip
packaging. Rogers' high performance materials are uniquely suited for the
increasingly higher data transmission rates required for newer small and
large-scale wireless applications. Lastly, new applications are emerging with
radio frequency identification (RFID) reader units. While this reporting segment
experienced higher sales overall, sales into the portable communications market
declined somewhat this quarter. Growth in the portable communications market did
occur though, as the Company's Taiwanese joint venture experienced significant
growth.

     High Performance Foams

     Sales of High Performance Foams were an all-time record at $26.1 million, a
11.5% improvement year-over-year. Rogers' high performance foam materials are
sold into every market segment the Company addresses, and most showed strength
this quarter. Thinner, low-density foam products introduced earlier this year,
are selling well into a variety of handheld electronics for cushioning and dust
sealing applications. The Company is starting to see interest for its foam
materials in an increasing number of new applications in markets such as mass
transit, medical devices and athletic gear.

     Other Polymer Products

     The Company continued to make progress in its Other Polymer Products
segment with revenues of $11.9 million in the third quarter, up 19.5% compared
with sales during the third quarter of 2005.

     Joint Ventures

     Rogers' 50% owned joint ventures had record third quarter sales totaling
$26.0 million, up almost 17% from the third quarter of 2005. Polyurethane foams
and flexible circuit material joint ventures led this sales increase. The
Company is benefiting from the capacity increases put in place in 2005 at these
two joint ventures.

     Rogers' third quarter gross margin was 31.1%, a substantial improvement
compared to the 28.5% in the third quarter of 2005. Notwithstanding this
improvement, the gross margin was negatively impacted this quarter due to stock
option expenses, a zero-margin subcontracted secondary operation with certain
keypad backlight EL lamps, and raw material price increases passed through at
cost. In addition, most of the sales growth in EL lamps was sourced from a
contract manufacturer where gross margins are lower.

     Excluding all of the one-time tax items already discussed, the Company
believes that its annual effective tax rate will be approximately 22%. This rate
is down slightly from previous expectations due to the impact of higher than
anticipated income from lower tax jurisdictions.

     Rogers' balance sheet ended the quarter with a cash and short-term
investment balance of $77.4 million. Capital expenditures were approximately
$7.7 million for the third quarter, and are now expected to be approximately
$25-30 million for the year. During the third quarter, the Company made a $8.4
million pension contribution.

     Mr. Wachob, continued, "We are making great strides towards our long-term
goal of a billion dollars in revenue and having robust processes worldwide.
While we certainly do not expect to continue growing at 45% each year, we do
expect to hold onto the gains within our key markets, most notably, portable
communications. Over the last few years we have significantly increased our New
Business Development (NBD) activities and we expect these NBD projects to help
fuel our long-term growth. We expect our current sales momentum to continue,
thus we are forecasting the fourth quarter to have sales between $122 and $126
million and estimate fourth quarter earnings will be between $0.90 and $0.93 per
diluted share."

     Reconciliation of Third Quarter 2005 Non-GAAP Earnings per Share


GAAP Earnings per Diluted Share                                 $0.59
Tax Adjustment per share                                         0.10
----------------------------------------------------------------------
       Non-GAAP Earnings per Diluted Share                      $0.49


     Notes to our Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

     Rogers believes that diluted earnings per share, excluding the effect of
the one-time tax adjustment, is useful information for investors and should be
presented in addition to diluted earnings per share determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

     --   The one-time tax adjustment in the third quarter of 2005 is the result
          of an Internal Revenue Service audit of Durel Corporation tax filings
          for certain years prior to the Company's acquisition of this business
          in 2003.

     --   Rogers reviews the operating results of its businesses excluding the
          impact of any tax adjustment because it provides an additional basis
          of comparison. As a result, management believes that excluding such
          adjustments is useful in comparing past, current and future periods.
