               Rogers Corporation Updates Fourth Quarter Guidance

    ROGERS, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 12, 2007--Rogers Corporation
(NYSE:ROG) today announced revised guidance for its fiscal fourth
quarter of 2006. Rogers projects fourth quarter net sales of
approximately $122 million, within the October 26, 2006, guidance
range of $122 to $126 million. Earnings for the fourth quarter are now
projected to be $0.68 to $0.72 per diluted share, while the previous
guidance was for earnings of $0.90 to $0.93 per diluted share.

    Robert D. Wachob, President and CEO, commented, "While sales came
in at the low end of our projected range for the fourth quarter, a
series of one-time events negatively impacted our operating margins.
The Printed Circuit Materials segment had a significant quality issue
that has since been resolved, as well as an unfavorable product mix
including much softer than expected sales into cellular communication
infrastructure applications. However, Rogers' circuit materials are
used in virtually every mobile communication system worldwide, and our
leading position in this market is well protected. Going forward, new
consumer expectations for high-speed mobile connectivity will continue
to drive infrastructure capital spending and we feel that the soft
fourth quarter was a temporary event.

    In our High Performance Foams segment, sales were strong, however,
we built a significant finished goods inventory in the third quarter
as insurance against a possible fourth quarter work stoppage. A new
union contract is now in place and during the fourth quarter we
reduced inventory levels.

    Within the Other Polymer Products segment, our polyolefin foam
operation experienced a significant reduction in both volume and
pricing, resulting in a loss for the quarter.

    In 2006, we significantly increased the market share of our
products in cell phones, but in the fourth quarter new program sales
did not meet expectations, thus our capacity was underutilized. As a
result, the mature programs, allocated to our contract manufacturer,
were a greater proportion of sales than anticipated.

    Even with these lower than anticipated fourth quarter earnings, we
expect to report full year diluted earnings per share of at least
$2.64 and net sales of $454 million, both all-time records exceeding
2005 by 169% and 28%, respectively. With the aforementioned fourth
quarter issues behind us, we also expect to have record first quarter
sales and earnings, which would be our sixth consecutive quarter of
year-over-year record sales and profits."

    The Company expects to report fourth quarter results in late
February, and will provide guidance for the first quarter of 2007 at
that time.
