Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
In a Press Release dated August 6, 2007, Rogers Corporation (the "Registrant" or
"Rogers") announced its final second quarter 2007 results. The Registrant's
Press Release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of
Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a
registrant's historical or future financial performance, financial position or
cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the
effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable
measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of
income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of
the issuer; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the
effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable
measure so calculated and presented. In this regard, GAAP refers to generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States. Pursuant to the
requirements of Regulation G, the Registrant has provided reconciliations within
the earnings release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures.
Rogers believes that net income from continuing operations and diluted earnings
per share, excluding the effect of any restructuring and impairment charges, is
a measure that should be presented in addition to income determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and is useful to
investors. The following matters should be considered when evaluating these
non-GAAP financial measures:
o Rogers reviews the operating results of its businesses excluding the
impact of any restructuring and impairment charges because it provides
an additional basis of comparison. We believe that these events are
unusual in nature, and would not be indicative of ongoing operating
results. As a result, management believes such charges should be
excluded in order to compare past, current and future periods.
o Restructuring and impairment charges principally represent adjustments
to the carrying value of certain assets and do not typically require a
cash payment.
o Restructuring and impairment charges are typically material and are
considered to be outside the normal operations of a business.
Corporate management is responsible for making decisions about such
charges.
The non-GAAP financial measures included in the earnings release have been
reconciled to the comparable GAAP results. This reconciliation can also be found
on the Registrant's web site at www.rogerscorporation.com.
The information in this Form 8-K/A and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be
deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section,
nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the
Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific
reference in such filing.
ITEM 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On June 13, 2007, the Registrant announced that it committed to a plan to
restructure its Custom Electrical Components reporting segment workforce and
reduce other related costs. The plan called for a significant employee reduction
associated with shifting electroluminescent (EL) lamp production to its China
facility, as a result of accelerated program terminations in the portable
communications market and a reduced outlook for the future market demand for the
Company's keypad backlight lamps. The Registrant could not at that time estimate
the amount or the range of amounts of the restructuring charges and indicated
that it would provide this information when it is able to make a determination
of such estimate or range of estimates.
On August 6, 2007, the Registrant concluded that it would take restructuring
charges of $12.9 million or $8.0 million net of taxes. Of the $12.9 million,
approximately $7.1 million is attributable to the Durel division of the Custom
Electrical Components reportable segment and approximately $2.7 million is
related to the Flexible Circuit Materials portion of the Printed Circuit
Materials reporting segment. The remainder of the charges of approximately $3.1
million primarily relates to severance associated with the company-wide work
force reductions. As a result of these restructuring activities, the Company
also expects to incur additional charges of approximately $2.7 million over the
next three quarters.
A copy of the press release issued by the Registrant on August 6, 2007
announcing the amount of the restructuring charges is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to
this Form 8-K/A and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 2.06 Material Impairments
On June 13, 2007, the Registrant announced that it had concluded that it would
potentially take a non-cash charge in the second quarter of 2007 related to the
write-down of impaired assets within the Registrant's Custom Electrical
Components reporting segment. The Registrant could not at that time estimate the
amount or the range of amounts of the impairment charge and indicated that it
would provide this information when it is able to make a determination of such
estimate or range of estimates.
On August 6, 2007, the Registrant announced that it had concluded that the
initiatives taken in the second quarter of 2007 did not result in impairment
charges, however it did incur the restructuring charges disclosed in Item 2.05.
A copy of the press release issued by the Registrant on August 6, 2007
announcing the Registrant's conclusion to not take an impairment charge is filed
as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K/A and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On August 6, 2007, the Registrant provided earnings guidance for the third
quarter of 2007. A copy of the August 6, 2007 press release is furnished
herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The discussion in Item 2.02 of this 8-K/A with regard to non-GAAP financial
measures is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.
The information in this Form 8-K/A and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be
deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise
subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated
by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be
expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
