      Rogers Corporation Raises Guidance for the Fourth Quarter

    ROGERS, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 9, 2006--Rogers Corporation
(NYSE:ROG) today announced revised guidance for its fiscal fourth
quarter ending January 1, 2006. Rogers projects fourth quarter net
sales to be approximately $97 million compared to the October 19,
2005, guidance of $85 to $88 million. Earnings for the fourth quarter
are projected to be $0.52 to $0.54 per diluted share versus previous
guidance of $0.40 to $0.44 per diluted share.
    "This increased guidance results from our ability to capitalize on
our strong market position, which led to an acceleration of sales
during the fourth quarter," commented Robert D. Wachob, President and
CEO. "In our Printed Circuits business, both high frequency and
flexible circuit material product lines had strong sales. The High
Performance Foams business sales continued at near record levels,
driven by the PORON(R) urethane foams product line. Of our three
businesses, Polymer Materials and Components is expected to show the
greatest quarterly improvement, due to the success of the DFLX(TM)
flexible keypad lamp for cell phones. Lastly, our joint ventures are
also expected to post increased contribution, driven by strong sales."
    The Company expects to report the fourth quarter and full year
results in February, and will provide guidance for the first quarter
2006, at that time.
