      Corporation Updates Guidance for the Second Quarter 2014 and Invites You
      to Join its Second Quarter 2014 Conference Call</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      ROGERS, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 17, 2014--Rogers Corporation
      (NYSE:ROG) (&#8220;Rogers&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;) today announced revised guidance
      for its fiscal second quarter ended June 30, 2014. Rogers now expects
      that it will report all-time quarterly record net sales from continuing
      operations of $153.5 million for the period as compared to the April 29,
      2014 guidance of $143 to $148 million. Earnings per diluted share from
      continuing operations for the second quarter 2014 are expected to be
      approximately $0.55 to $0.58 compared to the previous guidance of $0.68
      to $0.76 per diluted share.
    </p>
    <p>
      These revised unaudited earnings estimates are primarily the result of
      increased selling, general and administrative (SG&amp;A) expenses of
      approximately $6 to $7 million and a higher than anticipated effective
      tax rate. The increase in SG&amp;A expenses was driven by incentive
      compensation accruals and unusually high spending on internal process
      improvement projects, business development investments, Chief Financial
      Officer transition expenses, and other severance costs. The higher
      effective tax rate was the result of a change in the geographic profit
      mix to higher tax rate jurisdictions.
    </p>
    <p>
      Bruce D. Hoechner, President and CEO commented, &#8220;I am very pleased with
      our top line performance reaching all-time quarterly record levels for
      the Company during the quarter and the continued strength of our gross
      margins. With respect to the increased expenses noted above, we have
      taken significant steps within the Company to improve our budgetary
      planning capabilities. The underlying fundamentals of the business
      remain solid as we continue to benefit from tailwinds in our core
      markets that we believe offer continued opportunities for profitable
      growth as we move forward.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company plans to release results for its 2014 second quarter after
      the close of trading on Tuesday, July 29, 2014. A copy of the
      announcement will be available on the Rogers website at <u>www.rogerscorp.com/news</u>.

      Certain statements in this press release may constitute &#8220;forward-looking
      statements&#8221; within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
      Reform Act of 1995, including, among others, the Company&#8217;s estimates
      regarding its second quarter 2014 results and opportunities for future
      growth. Such forward-looking statements are based on management's
      expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions. Words such as
      &#8220;expects,&#8221; &#8220;anticipates,&#8221; &#8220;intends,&#8221; &#8220;believes,&#8221; &#8220;estimates,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221;
      &#8220;target,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;project,&#8221; &#8220;guidance,&#8221; and variations of such words and
      similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking
      statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown
      risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual
      results or performance to be materially different from any results or
      performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
      Such factors include, but are not limited to, the completion of the
      Company&#8217;s quarterly closing process to finalize results, changing
      business, economic, and political conditions both in the United States
      and in foreign countries, particularly in light of the uncertain outlook
      for global economic growth, particularly in several of our key markets;
      uncertainty regarding resolution of the United States debt ceiling
      issues; increasing competition; any difficulties in integrating acquired
      businesses into our operations and the possibility that anticipated
      benefits of acquisitions and divestitures may not materialize as
      expected; delays or problems in completing planned operational
      enhancements to various facilities; our achieving less than anticipated
      benefits and/or incurring greater than anticipated costs relating to
      streamlining initiatives or that such initiatives may be delayed or not
      fully implemented due to operational, legal or other challenges; changes
      in product mix; the possibility that changes in technology or market
      requirements will reduce the demand for our products; the possibility of
      significant declines in our backlog; the possibility of breaches of our
      information technology infrastructure; the development and marketing of
      new products and manufacturing processes and the inherent risks
      associated with such efforts and the ability to identify and enter new
      markets; the outcome of current and future litigation; our ability to
      retain key personnel; our ability to adequately protect our proprietary
      rights; the possibility of adverse effects resulting from the expiration
      of issued patents; the possibility that we may be required to recognize
      impairment charges against goodwill and non-amortizable assets in the
      future; the possibility of increasing levels of excess and obsolete
      inventory; increases in our employee benefit costs could reduce our
      profitability; the possibility of work stoppages, union and work council
      campaigns, labor disputes and adverse effects related to changes in
      labor laws; the accuracy of our analysis of our potential
      asbestos-related exposure and insurance coverage; the fact that our
      stock price has historically been volatile and may not be indicative of
      future prices; changes in the availability and cost and quality of raw
      materials, labor, transportation and utilities; changes in environmental
      and other governmental regulation which could increase expenses and
      affect operating results; our ability to accurately predict reserve
      levels; our ability to obtain favorable credit terms with our customers
      and collect accounts receivable; our ability to service our debt;
      certain covenants in our debt documents could adversely restrict our
      financial and operating flexibility; fluctuations in foreign currency
      exchange rates; and changes in tax rates and exposure which may increase
      our tax liabilities. Such factors also apply to our joint ventures. We
      make no commitment to update any forward-looking statement or to
      disclose any facts, events, or circumstances after the date hereof that
      may affect the accuracy of any forward-looking statements, unless
      required by law. Additional information about certain factors that could
      cause actual results to differ from such forward-looking statements
      include, but are not limited to, those items described in our filings
      with the Securities and Exchange Commission (&quot;SEC&quot;), including those in
      Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
      December 31, 2013 and subsequent Securities and Exchange Commission
      filings.
