ROGERS, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 22, 2016--Rogers Corporation (NYSE:ROG) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2015.
The Company reported record fourth quarter net sales of $152.9 million, in line with the company’s previously announced guidance and a 3.5% increase from the net sales of $147.7 million for the 2014 fourth quarter. These results include $26.6 million of net sales from the acquired Arlon business. Net sales were unfavorably impacted by approximately $5.2 million of negative currency fluctuations primarily related to the decline in the value of the Euro.
Earnings for the 2015 fourth quarter were $0.37 per diluted share (or $0.69 per diluted share excluding special charges, exceeding the company’s previously announced guidance), as compared to $0.39 per diluted share (or $0.91 per diluted share excluding special charges) for the fourth quarter of 2014. These results include earnings of $0.26 per diluted share from the acquired Arlon business.
Going forward the Company will provide EBITDA and adjusted earnings as it believes these are key to assessing its internal core operating performance and will be useful information to analysts, investors and others. The Company defines EBITDA as net income excluding interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring, non-cash stock-based compensation and other discrete charges, and adjusted earnings as net income excluding restructuring, non-cash stock-based compensation, amortization and other discrete charges. The 2015 fourth quarter EBITDA was $28.2 million compared to $31.2 million for the 2014 fourth quarter. The 2015 fourth quarter adjusted earnings were $0.88 per diluted share compared to $1.04 per diluted share for the 2014 fourth quarter.
Net sales for the full year 2015 were a record $641.4 million, a 5.0% increase from the net sales of $610.9 million for the full year 2014. Full year 2015 net sales included $100.0 million of net sales from the acquired Arlon business and a negative impact of approximately $27.5 million due to currency fluctuations (primarily related to the decline in the value of the Euro). Full year 2015 earnings were $2.48 per diluted share (or $3.08 per diluted share excluding special charges), compared to $2.86 per diluted share for full year 2014 (or $3.41 per diluted share excluding special charges). The full year 2015 includes earnings of $0.70 per diluted share from the acquired Arlon business. The full year 2015 EBITDA was $132.8 million compared to $125.7 million for the full year 2014. The full year 2015 adjusted earnings were $3.84 per diluted share compared to $3.93 per diluted share for the full year 2014.
Bruce D. Hoechner, President and CEO commented, “In 2015, Rogers was impacted by the volatile global economy. Despite these market headwinds, we delivered record sales for the year by remaining focused on our growth strategy and on successfully integrating the Arlon business. We are encouraged by the growth outlook in our global megatrend markets and in the progress we are making with our operational improvements. We believe the Company is well-positioned to capitalize on the opportunities that will arise when global markets recover.”
Business Segment Discussion
Advanced Connectivity Solutions (ACS)
Advanced Connectivity Solutions reported record fourth quarter net sales of $63.8 million, an 11.0% increase compared to 2014 fourth quarter net sales of $57.5 million. Organic sales declined $9.5 million or 16.4% on a currency neutral basis from the same quarter of the prior year. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted net sales in the fourth quarter by approximately $0.7 million or 1.2% as compared with the 2014 fourth quarter. Net sales during the 2015 fourth quarter include $16.4 million or 28.6% from the acquired Arlon business. The 2015 fourth quarter results were favorably impacted by strong growth in high frequency circuit materials used in automotive Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and aerospace and defense applications, which partially offset weaker demand in the 4G LTE base station supply chain, primarily in China.
Elastomeric Material Solutions (EMS)
Elastomeric Material Solutions reported 2015 fourth quarter net sales of $42.5 million, a 1.0% decrease compared to 2014 fourth quarter net sales of $43.0 million. Organic sales declined by $5.8 million or 13.5% on a currency neutral basis from the same quarter of the prior year. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted net sales in the fourth quarter by approximately $0.8 million or 1.8% as compared with the 2014 fourth quarter. Net sales during the 2015 fourth quarter include $6.1 million or 14.3% from the acquired Arlon business. The 2015 fourth quarter results were favorably impacted by increases in certain consumer and automotive applications, which partially offset the continued decline in portable electronics.
Power Electronics Solutions (PES)
Power Electronics Solutions reported 2015 fourth quarter net sales of $36.7 million, a 12.0% decrease compared to 2014 fourth quarter net sales of $41.6 million. Sales declined by $1.4 million or 3.4% on a currency neutral basis from the same quarter of the prior year. Net sales were unfavorably impacted by approximately $3.6 million or 8.6% due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates as compared with the 2014 fourth quarter. The 2015 fourth quarter results were favorably impacted by increased demand in electric and hybrid-electric vehicles and certain renewable energy applications, which partially offset lower demand in mass transit applications.
Other
Net sales of other products reported for the 2015 fourth quarter were $10.0 million, an increase of 76.2% compared to 2014 fourth quarter net sales of $5.6 million. This increase was driven by the acquired Arlon related sales of polyimide and thermoset epoxy laminate products of $4.0 million or 71.6% in the 2015 fourth quarter. Net sales were unfavorably impacted by approximately $0.2 million or 3.0% due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates as compared with the 2014 fourth quarter. As previously announced on December 21, 2015 the Company sold the portion of the acquired Arlon business related to the polyimide and thermoset epoxy laminate products reported within the Other business results.
Operational Highlights
Rogers ended 2015 with cash and cash equivalents of $204.6 million, a decrease of $32.8 million, or 13.8%, from $237.4 million at December 31, 2014. In 2015, this cash utilization was predominantly a result of $33.4 million (net of financing proceeds) being deployed for the acquisition of Arlon, $40.0 million used to fund the share repurchase program, as well as investments in capital expenditures of approximately $3.3 million in the fourth quarter and $24.8 million for the full year 2015. Net cash provided by operating activities was $73.9 million for 2015 compared to $85.2 million for 2014.
The Company reported 2015 fourth quarter gross margin of 34.4% and 36.7% (non-GAAP 36.9%) for the full year 2015, which compares to 39.7% for the 2014 fourth quarter and 38.4% for the full year 2014. Operating margin was 8.0% for the 2015 fourth quarter and 11.9% for the full year 2015, compared to 10.0% for the 2014 fourth quarter and 13.3% for the full year 2014. Operating margin on a non-GAAP basis was 10.8% for the 2015 fourth quarter and 13.7% for the full year 2015, compared to 14.6% for both the fourth quarter and full year 2014. The 2015 gross and operating margins were unfavorably impacted primarily by the lower organic volume and sales mix.
The Company’s 2015 effective tax rate was 30.0%.
Share Repurchase Program
During the 2015 fourth quarter, the Company repurchased 49,273 shares at an aggregate cost of $2.5 million. A total of 727,573 shares were repurchased in 2015 with an aggregate cost of $40.0 million. The Company initiated a share repurchase program of up to $100.0 million of shares of the Company’s capital stock during the 2015 third quarter. This repurchase program was initiated to increase shareholder value and mitigate potentially dilutive effects of stock options and shares of restricted stock granted by the Company.
Outlook
Rogers projects its 2016 first quarter net sales will be between $148 to $156 million and earnings will be between $0.51 and $0.61 per diluted share and adjusted earnings will be between $0.72 and $0.82 per diluted share.
For the full year 2016, Rogers expects capital expenditures to be approximately $25 million and its effective tax rate to be approximately 30%.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP Financial Measures to the Comparable GAAP Measures
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management believes non-GAAP information provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance by excluding certain expenses that are generally non-recurring or otherwise 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’s historical performance and for planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. However, non-GAAP information has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or solely as an alternative to, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
