                  Rogers Corporation Raises Guidance
                        for the Third Quarter


    ROGERS, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 11, 2007--Rogers Corporation
(NYSE:ROG) today announced revised guidance for its fiscal third
quarter ended September 30, 2007. Rogers now projects third quarter
net sales to be between $109 and $110 million compared to the August
6, 2007 guidance of $94 to $97 million. Non-GAAP earnings for the
third quarter, excluding any restructuring adjustments, are now
projected to be $0.44 to $0.48 per diluted share versus the previous
guidance of $0.32 to $0.35 per diluted share. The Company does not
have the information necessary at this time to reconcile the non-GAAP
financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measures.

    Robert D. Wachob, President and CEO commented, "Sales in the
Custom Electrical Components segment are approximately 25% above our
previous forecast. The volume of orders from one large cell phone
program that is nearing end of life was much higher than expected.
Additionally, the High Performance Foams ("HPF") segment achieved all
time record sales for the quarter. The record HPF sales were driven by
market share gains in portable handheld devices."

    The Company expects to report its third quarter results during the
first week of November, and plans to provide guidance for the fourth
quarter 2007 at that time.
