      ROGERS, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 9, 2015--Rogers Corporation
      (NYSE:ROG) (&#8220;Rogers&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;) today announced preliminary
      results for its fiscal second quarter ended June 30, 2015. Rogers
      expects that it will report net sales of between $162 and $164 million
      for the quarter as compared to the April 29, 2015 guidance of $175 to
      $185 million. Non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share for the second
      quarter 2015 are expected to be approximately $0.60 to $0.70 (which
      excludes $0.02 per diluted share of integration charges and a discrete
      favorable tax benefit of an estimated $0.08 per diluted share), compared
      to the previous non-GAAP guidance of $0.81 to $0.93 per diluted share
      (which excluded $0.10 per diluted share of integration charges).
    </p>
    <p>
      These revised unaudited net sales and earnings estimates are primarily
      the result of a sudden sales decline into the Chinese wireless telecom
      market. The Company believes that the widely-reported government actions
      in Chinese state-owned telecom enterprises may have temporarily delayed
      certain projects. In addition, weakness in the portable electronics
      market also impacted results for the quarter. The Company expects sales
      will progressively recover during the second half of 2015.
    </p>
    <p>
      Bruce D. Hoechner, President and CEO commented, &#8220;We believe the Chinese
      wireless telecom situation is temporary, although global economic
      conditions are more challenging to forecast. We remain confident in our
      strategy and the Company is well positioned to manage through these
      headwinds. Our outlook for our business remains positive.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company plans to release results for its 2015 second quarter after
      the close of trading on Wednesday, July 29, 2015 and host its quarterly
      teleconference on Thursday, July 30, 2015. Details will follow.

      These forward-looking statements do not constitute guarantees of future

      our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future net
      sales or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs,
      restructuring, plans or intentions relating to expansions, business
      trends and other information that is not historical information. All
      forward-looking statements are based upon information available to us on
      the date of this release and are subject to risks, uncertainties and
      other factors, many of which are outside of our control, which could
      cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in
      the forward-looking statements. Risks that could cause such results to
      differ include: 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; the possibility that changes in
      technology or market requirements will reduce the demand for our
      products increasing competition; the possibility of adverse effects
      resulting from the expiration of issued patents; any difficulties
      integrating acquired businesses into our operations and the possibility
      that anticipated benefits of acquisitions and divestitures may not
      materialize as expected or additional costs may be incurred; delays or
      problems in completing planned operational enhancements to various
      facilities; and 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. The risk
      factors identified in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
      Commission, including the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form
      10-K and most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, could impact any
      forward-looking statements contained in this release. Rogers Corporation
      assumes no responsibility to update any forward-looking statements

      measures. We believe that this information is useful to understanding
      the operating results and ongoing performance of our underlying
      businesses.

    <p>
      Management believes non-GAAP information provides meaningful
      supplemental information regarding the Company&#8217;s performance by
      excluding certain expenses that are generally non-recurring and
      accordingly may not be indicative of the core business operating
      results. The Company believes that this additional financial information
      is useful to management and investors in assessing the Company&#8217;s
      historical performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing
      future periods. However, the non-GAAP information has limitations as an
      analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as
      alternatives to, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
