Rogers Corporation Raises Guidance for the Third Quarter

ROGERS, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 15, 2009--Rogers Corporation (NYSE:ROG) today announced revised guidance for its third quarter ending September 30, 2009. Rogers now projects third quarter net sales to be between $74 and $77 million compared to the August 3, 2009 guidance of $68 to $73 million. Earnings for the third quarter are now projected to be $0.22 to $0.28 per diluted share versus the previous guidance of $0.05 to $0.15 earnings per diluted share, both of which include $1 million or $0.06 per share of projected one-time integration costs associated with the silicone business assets the Company acquired from MTI Global Inc. during the second quarter.

Robert D. Wachob, President and CEO commented, “Sales of High Performance Foams in the cell phone and consumer electronics markets will be higher than anticipated for the third quarter. Also during the quarter, the Printed Circuit Materials business experienced stronger growth in both satellite television and military applications. With increased sales and the full effect of our cost reductions in place Rogers is experiencing better than anticipated earnings growth for the third quarter.”

The Company expects to report its third quarter results during the first week of November, and plans to provide guidance for the fourth quarter 2009 at that time.
