Note 3 – Derivatives and Hedging
The valuation of our derivative contracts used to manage their respective risks is described below:
•Foreign Currency – The fair value of any foreign currency option derivative is based upon valuation models applied to current market information such as strike price, spot rate, maturity date and volatility, and by reference to market values resulting from an over-the-counter market or obtaining market data for similar instruments with similar characteristics.
•Commodity – The fair value of copper derivatives is computed using a combination of intrinsic and time value valuation models, which are collectively a function of five primary variables: price of the underlying instrument, time to expiration, strike price, interest rate and volatility. The intrinsic valuation model reflects the difference between the strike price of the underlying copper derivative instrument and the current prevailing copper prices in an over-the-counter market at period end. The time value valuation model incorporates changes in the price of the underlying copper derivative instrument, the time value of money, the underlying copper derivative instrument’s strike price and the remaining time to the underlying copper derivative instrument’s expiration date from the period end date.
As of March 31, 2025, we did not have any derivative contracts that qualified for hedge accounting treatment.
Foreign Currency
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we entered into U.S. dollar, euro, Korean won, Hungarian forint, and Japanese yen forward contracts. We entered into these foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate certain global transactional exposures. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, any fair value adjustments required on these contracts are recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the adjustment occurred.
As of March 31, 2025, the notional values of the remaining foreign currency forward contracts were as follows:
| | | | | |
(Amounts in millions) | |
Currencies (Buy/Sell) | Amount (Buy/Sell) |
USD/CNH | $37.2 / ¥270.0 |
EUR/USD | €6.5 / $7.0 |
KRW/USD | ₩732.1 / $0.5 |
HUF/EUR | Ft500.0 / €1.2 |
JPY/EUR | ¥800.0 / €4.9 |
Commodity
As of March 31, 2025, we had 12 outstanding contracts to hedge exposure related to the purchase of copper in our AES operating segment. These contracts are held with financial institutions and are intended to offset rising copper prices and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, any fair value adjustments required on these contracts are recorded in “Other income (expense), net” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the adjustment occurred.
As of March 31, 2025, the volume of our copper contracts outstanding was as follows:
| | | | | |
(Amounts in ones) | |
Contract Period | Amount |
April 2025 - June 2025 | 69 metric tons per month |
July 2025 - September 2025 | 69 metric tons per month |

Note 7 – Postretirement Benefit Plans
Pension Plan
As of March 31, 2025, we had one qualified noncontributory defined benefit pension plan, the Union Plan, which was frozen and ceased accruing benefits in 2013. The measurement date is December 31st for each respective plan year. We were not required to make any contributions to the Union Plan in 2024 and will not be required to make any contributions in 2025.
Deferred Compensation Plan
We sponsor a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which provides specified deferred compensation benefits to a certain group of select employees. The deferred compensation plan is funded through a rabbi trust, which is ultimately invested in accordance with each plan participants’ selections from pre-approved funds. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our deferred compensation plan primarily consisted of marketable securities, which includes mutual funds and fixed income funds. Marketable securities are recorded at fair value. The balances are reflected in the “Other long-term assets” line item in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. The following table summarizes, by major security type, our marketable securities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy:

Note 8 – Revolving Credit Facility
On March 24, 2023, we entered into a Fifth Amended Credit Agreement which amended and restated the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement, and provides for (1) a revolving credit facility with up to $450.0 million of revolving loans, with sub-limits for multicurrency borrowings, letters of credit and swing-line notes, and (2) a $225.0 million expansion feature. Borrowings may be used to finance working capital needs, for letters of credit and for general corporate purposes in the ordinary course of business, including the financing of permitted acquisitions (as defined in the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement). The Fifth Amended Credit Agreement extended the maturity, the date on which all amounts borrowed or outstanding under the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement are due, from March 31, 2024 to March 24, 2028.
All obligations under the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of our existing and future material domestic subsidiaries, as defined in the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement. The obligations are also secured by a Fifth Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of March 24, 2023, entered into by us and the Guarantors which grants to the administrative agent, for the benefit of the lenders, a security interest, subject to certain exceptions, in substantially all of the non-real estate assets of ours and the Guarantors. These assets include, but are not limited to, receivables, equipment, intellectual property, inventory, and stock in certain subsidiaries.
Borrowings under the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement bear interest based on one of two options. Alternate base rate loans will bear interest at a rate that includes a base reference rate plus a spread of 62.5 to 100.0 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. The base reference rate will be the greater of the (1) prime rate, (2) federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points, and (3) one-month Term SOFR plus 110.0 basis points. Loans bearing an interest rate determined by reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted Euro Interbank Offered Rate, or the Adjusted Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate (each as defined in the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement) will bear interest based on the screen rate plus a spread of 162.5 to 200.0 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. Based on our leverage ratio as of March 31, 2025, the spread was 162.5 basis points.
In addition to interest payable on the principal amount of indebtedness outstanding, we incur an annual fee of 25 to 35 basis points (based upon our leverage ratio), paid quarterly, of the unused amount of the lenders’ commitments under the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement.
The Fifth Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, mandatory prepayments and events of default under which the Company’s payment obligations may be accelerated. The financial covenants include a requirement to maintain (1) a total net leverage ratio of no more than 3.25 to 1.00, subject to a one-time election to increase the maximum total net leverage ratio to 3.75 to 1.00 for one fiscal year in connection with a permitted acquisition, and (2) an interest coverage ratio of no less than 3.00 to 1.00. We are permitted to net up to $50.0 million of unrestricted domestic cash and cash equivalents in the calculation of the total net leverage ratio. The Fifth Amended Credit Agreement generally permits us to pay cash dividends to our shareholders, provided that (i) no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the dividend payment and (ii) our total net leverage ratio does not exceed 2.75 to 1.00. If our total net leverage ratio exceeds 2.75 to 1.00, we may nonetheless make up to $20.0 million in restricted payments, including cash dividends, during the fiscal year, provided that no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the payments. Our total net leverage ratio did not exceed 2.75 to 1.00 and our interest coverage ratio was greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2025.
Our discretionary principal payments on our revolving credit facility in 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

Discretionary principal payments | $ | — | | | $ | 30.0 | | | | | |
We had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. We had $1.5 million and $1.6 million of outstanding line of credit issuance costs as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which will be amortized over the life of the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement.
Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies
We are currently engaged in the following material legal and environmental proceedings:
Asbestos
Overview
We, like many other industrial companies, have been named as a defendant in a number of lawsuits filed in courts across the country by persons alleging personal injury from exposure to products containing asbestos. We have never mined, milled, manufactured or marketed asbestos; rather, we made and provided to industrial users a limited number of products that contained encapsulated asbestos, but we stopped manufacturing these products in the late 1980s. Most of the claims filed against us involve numerous defendants, sometimes as many as several hundred. In virtually all of the cases against us, the plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages above a jurisdictional minimum against multiple defendants who may have manufactured, sold or used asbestos-containing products to which the plaintiffs were allegedly exposed and from which they purportedly suffered injury. Most of these cases are being litigated in Maryland, Illinois, Missouri and New York; however, we are also defending cases in other states. We continue to vigorously defend these cases, primarily on the basis of the plaintiffs’ inability to establish compensable loss as a result of exposure to our products. The indemnity and defense costs of our asbestos-related product liability litigation to date have been substantially covered by insurance.
The following table summarizes the change in number of asbestos claims outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2025:
| | | | | |
| Asbestos Claims |
Claims outstanding as of January 1, 2025 | 523 | |
New claims filed | 26 | |
Pending claims dismissed | (50) | |
Pending claims settled | (2) | |
Claims outstanding as of March 31, 2025 | 497 | |
The total indemnity settlements for asbestos claims in 2025 were as follows:
| | | | | |
(Dollars in millions) | March 31, 2025 |
Settlements | $ | 0.2 | |
Impact on Financial Statements
We recognize a liability for asbestos-related contingencies that are probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. In connection with the recognition of liabilities for asbestos-related matters, we record asbestos-related insurance recoverables that are deemed probable.
The liability projection period covers all current and future indemnity and defense costs through 2064, which represents the expected end of our asbestos liability exposure with no further ongoing claims expected beyond that date. This conclusion was based on our history and experience with the claims data, the diminished volatility and consistency of observable claims data, the period of time that has elapsed since we stopped manufacturing products that contained encapsulated asbestos and an expected downward trend in claims due to the average age of our claimants, which is approaching the average life expectancy.
To date, the indemnity and defense costs of our asbestos-related product liability litigation have been substantially covered by insurance. Although we have exhausted coverage under some of our insurance policies, we believe that we have applicable primary, excess and/or umbrella coverage for claims arising with respect to most of the years during which we manufactured and marketed asbestos-containing products. In addition, we have entered into a cost sharing agreement with most of our primary, excess and umbrella insurance carriers to facilitate the ongoing administration and payment of claims covered by the carriers. The cost sharing agreement may be terminated by any party, but will continue until a party elects to terminate it. As of the filing date for this report, the agreement has not been terminated, and no carrier had informed us that it intends to terminate the agreement. We expect to continue to exhaust individual primary, excess and umbrella coverages over time, and there is no
assurance that such exhaustion will not accelerate due to additional claims, damages and settlements or that coverage will be available as expected.
The amounts recorded for the asbestos-related liability and the related insurance recoverables are based on facts known at the time and a number of assumptions. However, projecting future events, such as the number of new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of disposing of such claims, the length of time it takes to dispose of such claims, coverage issues among insurers and the continuing solvency of various insurance companies, as well as the numerous uncertainties surrounding asbestos litigation in the U.S., could cause the actual liability and insurance recoveries for us to be higher or lower than those projected or recorded. The full extent of our financial exposure to asbestos-related litigation remains very difficult to estimate and could include both compensatory and punitive damage awards.
Changes recorded in the estimated liability and estimated insurance recovery based on projections of asbestos litigation and corresponding insurance coverage, result in the recognition of expense or income.
Our projected asbestos-related liabilities and insurance receivables were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
(Dollars in millions) | March 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
Asbestos-related liabilities | $ | 57.4 | | | $ | 57.5 | |
Asbestos-related insurance receivables | $ | 52.3 | | | $ | 52.3 | |
Environmental Voluntary Corrective Action Program
Our location in Rogers, Connecticut is part of the Connecticut Voluntary Corrective Action Program. As part of this program, we partnered with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to determine the corrective actions to be taken at the site related to contamination issues. We evaluated this matter and completed internal due diligence work related to the site in 2015. Remediation activities on the site are ongoing and are recorded as reductions to the accrual as they are incurred. We have incurred $2.0 million of aggregate remediation costs through March 31, 2025, substantially all of which was incurred and accrued for prior to 2023, and the accrual for future remediation efforts is $0.7 million.
Other Matters
In addition to the above issues, the nature and scope of our business brings us in regular contact with the general public and a variety of businesses and government agencies. Such activities inherently subject us to the possibility of litigation, including environmental and product liability matters that are defended and handled in the ordinary course of business. We have established accruals for matters for which management considers a loss to be probable and reasonably estimable. It is the opinion of management that facts known at the present time do not indicate that such litigation will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Note 10 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all dilutive potential common shares outstanding.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Net income (loss) | $ | (1.4) | | | $ | 7.8 | | | | | |
Denominator: | | | | | | | |
Weighted-average shares outstanding - basic | 18.5 | | | 18.6 | | | | | |
Effect of dilutive shares | — | | | 0.1 | | | | | |
Weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted | 18.5 | | | 18.7 | | | | | |
Basic earnings (loss) per share | $ | (0.08) | | | $ | 0.42 | | | | | |
Diluted earnings (loss) per share | $ | (0.08) | | | $ | 0.42 | | | | | |
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the assumed vesting of restricted stock units had an antidilutive effect on diluted loss per share and were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, 0.2 million anti-dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, 0.1 million were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Other | — | | | 0.3 | | | | | |
Total equity compensation expense | $ | 3.6 | | | $ | 3.5 | | | | | |
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
As of March 31, 2025, we had outstanding performance-based restricted stock units with a market condition from 2025, 2024 and 2023. These awards generally cliff vest at the end of a three-year measurement period. However, employees whose employment terminates during the measurement period due to death, disability, or, in certain cases, retirement may receive a pro-rata payout based on the number of days they were employed during the measurement period. Participants are eligible to be awarded shares ranging from 0% to 200% of the original award amount, based on certain defined performance measures.
The performance-based restricted stock units with a market condition have one measurement criterion: the three-year total shareholder return on our capital stock as compared to that of a specified group of peer companies. The fair value of this measurement criterion was determined on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. We recognize compensation expense on all of these awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period with no changes for final projected payout of the awards. We account for forfeitures as they occur.
The following table sets forth the assumptions used in the Monte Carlo calculation for each material award granted in 2025 and 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| February 26, 2025 | | February 19, 2024 | | February 13, 2024 |
Expected volatility | 45.6% | | 46.3% | | 46.2% |
Expected term (in years) | 2.9 | | 2.9 | | 2.9 |
Risk-free interest rate | 4.28% | | 4.35% | | 4.35% |
Expected volatility – In determining expected volatility, we have considered a number of factors, including historical volatility.
Expected term – We use the vesting period of the award to determine the expected term assumption for the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model.
Risk-free interest rate – We use an implied “spot rate” yield on U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rates as of the grant date for our assumption of the risk-free interest rate.
Expected dividend yield – We do not currently pay dividends on our capital stock; therefore, a dividend yield of 0% was used in the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model.
As of March 31, 2025, we had outstanding performance-based restricted stock units with a performance condition from 2024. These awards generally cliff vest at the end of a two-year performance period. However, employees whose employment terminates during the measurement period due to death, disability, or, in certain cases, retirement may receive a pro-rata payout based on the number of days they were employed during the measurement period. Participants are eligible to be awarded shares ranging from 0% to 200% of the original award amount, based on certain defined performance measures.
The performance-based restricted stock units with a performance condition have one measurement criterion: 2025 net revenue. The fair value of these awards was determined based on the market value of the underlying stock price at the grant date with cumulative compensation expense recognized to-date being increased or decreased based on the changes in the forecasted payout percentage as of the end of each reporting period. As of March 31, 2025, the performance condition is not probable of vesting. As such, no compensation expense has been recognized for the performance-based restricted stock units. We account for forfeitures as they occur.
A summary of activity of the outstanding performance-based restricted stock units for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is presented below:
| | | | | |
| Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units |
Awards outstanding as of December 31, 2024 | 109,106 | |
Awards granted | 83,834 | |
Stock issued | — | |
Awards forfeited/cancelled | (2,218) | |
Awards outstanding as of March 31, 2025 | 190,722 | |
Time-Based Restricted Stock Units
As of March 31, 2025, we had time-based restricted stock unit awards from 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022 outstanding. The outstanding awards all ratably vest on the first, second and third anniversaries of the original grant date. However, employees whose employment terminates during the measurement period due to death, disability, or, in certain cases, retirement may receive a pro-rata payout based on the number of days they were employed subsequent to the last grant anniversary date. Each time-based restricted stock unit represents a right to receive one share of Rogers’ capital stock at the end of the vesting period. The fair value of the award is determined by the market value of the underlying stock price at the grant date. We recognize compensation expense on all of these awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. We account for forfeitures as they occur.
A summary of activity of the outstanding time-based restricted stock units for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is presented below:
| | | | | |
| Time-Based Restricted Stock Units |
Awards outstanding as of December 31, 2024 | 110,745 | |
Awards granted | 88,973 | |
Stock issued | (39,852) | |
Awards forfeited/cancelled | (2,339) | |
Awards outstanding as of March 31, 2025 | 157,527 | |
Deferred Stock Units
We grant deferred stock units to non-management directors. These awards are fully vested on the date of grant and the related shares are generally issued on the 13-month anniversary of the grant date unless the individual elects to defer the receipt of those shares. Each deferred stock unit results in the issuance of one share of Rogers’ capital stock. The grant of deferred stock units is typically done annually during the second quarter of each year. The fair value of the award is determined by the market value of the underlying stock price at the grant date.
A summary of activity of the outstanding deferred stock units for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is presented below:
| | | | | |
| Deferred Stock Units |
Awards outstanding as of December 31, 2024 | 11,900 | |

Note 12 – Operating Segment Information
Our reporting structure is comprised of the following strategic operating segments: AES and EMS. The remaining operations, which represent our non-core businesses, are reported in the Other operating segment. We believe this structure aligns our external reporting presentation with how we currently manage and view our business internally. Our CODM is the Chief Executive Officer of Rogers Corporation. The CODM uses gross margin as a reported segment profit or loss measure to evaluate the performance of each business segment, and then leverages this information to decide where to allocate resources and assess how well each segment is performing financially, considering factors like revenue, inventory, and significant expenses specific to that segment.
Our AES operating segment designs, develops, manufactures and sells circuit materials, ceramic substrate materials, busbars and cooling solutions for applications in EV/HEV, automotive (e.g., ADAS), aerospace and defense (e.g., antenna systems, communication systems and phased array radar systems), renewable energy (e.g., wind and solar), wireless infrastructure (e.g., power amplifiers, antennas and small cells), mass transit, industrial (e.g., variable frequency drives), connected devices (e.g., mobile internet devices and thermal solutions) and wired infrastructure (e.g., computing and internet protocol infrastructure) markets.
Our EMS operating segment designs, develops, manufactures and sells engineered material solutions for a wide variety of applications and markets. These include polyurethane and silicone materials used in cushioning, gasketing and sealing, and vibration management applications for EV/HEV, general industrial, portable electronics, automotive, mass transit, aerospace and defense, footwear and impact mitigation markets; customized silicones used in flex heater and semiconductor thermal applications for EV/HEV, general industrial, portable electronics, automotive, mass transit, aerospace and defense and medical markets; and polytetrafluoroethylene and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene materials used in wire and cable protection, electrical insulation, conduction and shielding, hose and belt protection, vibration management, cushioning, gasketing and sealing, and venting applications for EV/HEV, general industrial, automotive, and aerospace and defense markets.
Our Other operating segment consists of elastomer components for applications in the general industrial market, as well as elastomer floats for level sensing in fuel tanks, motors, and storage tanks applications in the general industrial and automotive markets.

Restructuring Charges - Manufacturing Footprint Consolidation
In June 2024, we announced our intent to consolidate our high frequency circuit material manufacturing operations, impacting our Evergem, Belgium facility. We anticipate the plan to be completed in the second half of 2025. The plan is expected to significantly reduce our manufacturing costs and operating expenses. We estimate this will improve operating income between $7.0 million and $9.0 million annually. We expect to incur approximately $22.0 million to $28.0 million in pre-tax restructuring charges related to this plan, the majority of which are expected to be in the form of cash-based expenditures related to employee severance and other termination benefits. Most of the non-cash expenditures will be in the form of accelerated depreciation.
We incurred $4.0 million of restructuring charges related to this plan for the three months ended March 31, 2025, of which $3.2 million were cash-based expenditures in the form of severance and other termination benefits and $0.7 million were non-cash expenditures in the form of accelerated depreciation.
Severance and related benefits activity related to the manufacturing footprint consolidation plan is presented in the table below for the three months ended March 31, 2025:

Restructuring Charges - Global Workforce Reduction
In March 2025, we announced a plan to reduce our global workforce that was substantially completed in the first quarter of 2025. We incurred $1.8 million in pre-tax restructuring charges related to this plan in the three months ended March 31, 2025, all of which were cash-based expenditures in the form of employee severance and other termination benefits.
Restructuring Charges - Facility Consolidations
As of December 31, 2024, we included $13.1 million of assets held for sale within the “Other current assets” financial statement line item of the condensed consolidated statements of financial position, representing the land and building at our former Price Road facility in Chandler, Arizona. The sale was completed on March 11, 2025 for a sale price of $13.4 million, net of selling costs.

Note 14 – Income Taxes
The below discussion of the effective tax rate for the periods presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations is in comparison to the 21% U.S. statutory federal income tax rate.
Our effective tax rate was 12.5% in the first quarter of 2025. During the first quarter of 2025, we incurred a loss before income taxes of $1.6 million, which, when taxed at the 21% U.S. statutory federal income tax rate, resulted in an immaterial income tax benefit, partially offset by insignificant tax adjustments that caused the effective tax rate to differ from the statutory rate.
During the first quarter of 2024, our effective tax rate was 32.8%. During the first quarter of 2024, our effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted primarily by the write-off of deferred tax assets related to stock compensation.
The OECD Pillar 2 guidelines published to date include transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the Pillar 2 global minimum tax of 15%. Based on current enacted legislation effective in 2024 and our structure, we do not expect a material impact in 2025. We are monitoring developments and evaluating the impacts these new rules will have on our future effective income tax rate, tax payments, financial condition, and results of operations.
Note 15 - Mergers and Acquisitions
Joint Venture Separation Agreement
On October 29, 2024, we entered into a JV Separation Agreement with INOAC with an effective date of November 5, 2024, in which INOAC acquired our 50% ownership shares of RIC, we acquired INOAC’s 50% ownership shares of RIS, and we sold the property, plant and equipment constituting RIS Production Line 1 to INOAC. The combined transaction resulted in a net payment to us from INOAC of $4.9 million. The JV Separation Agreement terminated all other agreements previously entered into in connection with the RIC and RIS JV relationships.
The purchase accounting and purchase price allocation for the RIS acquisition transaction is now considered final, with no adjustments from the information presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this Form 10-Q along with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto in our Annual Report.
Company Overview and Strategy
We design, develop, manufacture and sell high-performance and high-reliability engineered materials and components to meet our customers’ challenges. We operate two strategic operating segments: AES and EMS. Our remaining operations, which represent non-core businesses, are reported in our Other operating segment. We are headquartered in Chandler, Arizona.
Our growth and profitability strategy is based upon the following principles: (1) market-driven organization, (2) innovation leadership, (3) synergistic mergers and acquisitions, and (4) operational excellence. Our priorities in executing this strategy are focused on driving near-term improvements to profitability and improving the growth outlook for the Company over the next several years by further strengthening our focus on our portfolio and commercial activities, optimizing our global capacity to meet customer demand and driving innovation.
As a market-driven organization, we are focused on capitalizing on growth opportunities in several different end markets. This includes the automotive industry, where there are market opportunities resulting from the increasing electrification of vehicles, and in the expanding use of ADAS. Other opportunities are driven by the advancement of communication systems in aerospace and defense, the growth of next-generation smartphones in the portable electronics industry, and the continued expansion of renewable energy. In addition to our focus on these markets, we sell into a variety of other markets, including general industrial, wireless infrastructure and mass transit.
Our growth strategy is based on addressing trends in these markets and applying our repeatable customer engagement process. Our sales engineers and technical service employees work closely with our customers to understand their complex challenges. They then leverage our innovation and technology capabilities and deep applications expertise to provide unique solutions to customers’ challenges. In addition to these capabilities, our strategy for success is also built on our reputation for high performance and reliability, trusted customer relationships and an expansive product portfolio. Through this strategy we expect to be able to drive further commercial wins, which provide the potential for future growth. This growth strategy includes both organic and inorganic investments from which we strive to ensure high-quality solutions for our customers.
Our operational excellence efforts are focused on driving ongoing cost structure improvements to further enhance our profitability. These efforts include focusing on improving yields, throughput, procurement capabilities, and manufacturing processes. We have also taken specific cost improvement actions in recent quarters that have and will benefit our performance. These actions include optimizing our manufacturing footprint, divesting non-core product lines and reducing manufacturing and corporate employees. We continue to review and re-align our manufacturing and engineering footprint in an effort to maintain a leading competitive position globally and to support our customers’ growth initiatives.
We seek to enhance our operational and financial performance by investing in research and development, manufacturing and materials efficiencies, and new product initiatives that respond to the needs of our customers. We strive to evaluate operational and strategic alternatives to improve our business structure and align our business with the changing needs of our customers and major industry trends affecting our business.
If we are able to successfully execute on our strategy, we see an opportunity, over the next several years, to increase revenues from current levels and further improve profitability. The increase in revenues is expected to come from a combination of organic growth and targeted acquisitions. This outlook is supported by our participation in a number of growth markets and by our competitive positions in these markets. The fastest growing market opportunity is expected to be EV/HEV where third-party analysis projects that the market will increase at a compound annual growth rate of between 10% and 15% over the next several years. Within the EV/HEV market, we believe our advanced battery cell pads and ceramic substrates provide multiple content opportunities to capitalize on this growth. Other markets with good growth opportunities include ADAS, aerospace and defense, portable electronics and renewable energy.
Executive Summary
The following synopsis and factors should be considered when reviewing our results of operations, financial position and liquidity:
•In the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the first quarter of 2024, our net sales decreased approximately 10.7% to $190.5 million, our gross margin decreased approximately 210 basis points to 29.9% from 32.0%, and we had an operating margin of 0.2% compared to an operating margin of 5.5%, a decrease of approximately 570 basis points.
•We recognized restructuring charges of $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily related to our announced intent to wind down our manufacturing operations for our AES operating segment in our Evergem, Belgium facility, along with a reduction of our global workforce.

The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower net sales in the EV/HEV and wireless infrastructure markets. We experienced lower EV/HEV net sales as customers continued to manage inventory levels and adjusted to softer end market demand. We experienced lower wireless infrastructure net sales as a program for a key customer was launched and completed in 2024.
Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased approximately 210 basis points to 29.9% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 32.0% in the first quarter of 2024. Gross margin in the first quarter of 2025 declined due to lower volumes and unfavorable mix.

Interest income (expense), net, was $0.3 million of income in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $0.8 million of expense in the first quarter of 2024. The year-over-year change was due to a lower weighted-average outstanding balance for our borrowings under our revolving credit facility and higher income on interest-bearing cash accounts.

The below discussion of the effective tax rate for the periods presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations is in comparison to the 21% U.S. statutory federal income tax rate.
Our effective tax rate was 12.5% in the first quarter of 2025. During the first quarter of 2025, we incurred a loss before income taxes of $1.6 million, which, when taxed at the 21% U.S. statutory federal income tax rate, resulted in an immaterial tax benefit,
partially offset by insignificant tax adjustments that caused the effective tax rate to differ from the statutory rate.
During the first quarter of 2024, our effective tax rate was 32.8%. During the first quarter of 2024, our effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted primarily by the write-off of deferred tax assets related to stock compensation.

Gross margin | $ | 29.1 | | | $ | 34.7 | | | | | |
Percentage of net sales | 27.9 | % | | 28.4 | % | | | | |
AES net sales decreased by 14.7% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in net sales over the first quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by lower net sales in the EV/HEV, wireless infrastructure and industrial markets. We experienced lower EV/HEV net sales as customers continued to manage inventory levels and adjusted to softer end market demand. We experienced lower wireless infrastructure net sales as a program for a key customer was launched and completed in 2024.
Our AES operating segment gross margin in the first quarter of 2025 declined primarily due to significantly lower volumes and unfavorable mix. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin in the first quarter of 2025 was 27.9% as compared to 28.4% in the first quarter of 2024.

EMS net sales decreased by 3.6% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in net sales over the first quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by lower net sales in the EV/HEV and aerospace and defense markets.
Our EMS operating segment gross margin in the first quarter of 2025 declined due to unfavorable mix and utilization headwinds caused by lower volumes. As a percentage of net sales, gross margin in the first quarter of 2025 was 32.3% as compared to 36.5% in the first quarter of 2024.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Position
We believe that our existing sources of liquidity and cash flows that we expect to generate from our operations, together with our available credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our operations, currently planned capital expenditures and R&D efforts, for at least the next 12 months. We regularly review and evaluate the adequacy of our cash flows, borrowing facilities and banking relationships in an effort to ensure that we have the appropriate access to cash to fund both our near-term operating needs and our long-term strategic initiatives.
The following table illustrates the location of our cash and cash equivalents by our three major geographic areas:

Asia | 40.9 | | | 37.7 | |
Total cash and cash equivalents | $ | 175.6 | | | $ | 159.8 | |
Approximately $81.4 million of our cash and cash equivalents were held by non-U.S. subsidiaries as of March 31, 2025. We did not make any changes in the three months ended March 31, 2025 to our position on the permanent reinvestment of our earnings from foreign operations. With the exception of certain of our Chinese subsidiaries, where a substantial portion of our Asia cash and cash equivalents are held, we continue to assert that historical foreign earnings are indefinitely reinvested.

Changes in key financial position accounts and other significant changes in our statements of financial position from December 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025 were as follows:
•Cash and cash equivalents were $175.6 million as compared to $159.8 million as of December 31, 2024, an increase of $15.8 million, or 9.9%. This increase was primarily due to the $13.4 million of proceeds from the sale of our Price Road facility and our cash flows provided by operations, partially offset by $9.6 million in capital expenditures, and $1.2 million in tax payments related to net share settlement of equity awards.
•Accounts receivable, net increased 2.9% to $139.2 million as of March 31, 2025 from $135.3 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase from year-end was primarily due to higher net sales at the end of the first quarter of 2025 compared to at the end of 2024.
•Inventories, net increased 0.5% to $143.0 million as of March 31, 2025, from $142.3 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily driven by higher levels of raw material and work-in-process inventory, mostly offset by a lower level of finished goods inventory.

In 2025, we expect capital spending to be in the range of approximately $30.0 million to $40.0 million. We plan to fund our capital spending in 2025 with cash from operations and cash on-hand, as well as our existing revolving credit facility, if necessary.
Restrictions on Payment of Dividends
The Fifth Amended Credit Agreement generally permits us to pay cash dividends to our shareholders, provided that (i) no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the dividend payment and (ii) our total net leverage ratio does not exceed 2.75 to 1.00. If our total net leverage ratio exceeds 2.75 to 1.00, we may nonetheless make up to $20.0 million in restricted payments, including cash dividends, during the fiscal year, provided that no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the payments. Our total net leverage ratio did not exceed 2.75 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2025.
Contingencies
During the first quarter of 2025, we did not become aware of any material developments related to environmental matters disclosed in our Annual Report, our asbestos litigation or other material contingencies previously disclosed or incur any material costs or capital expenditures related to such matters. Refer to “Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies” to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further discussion of these contingencies.
Critical Accounting Policies
There were no material changes in our critical accounting policies during the first quarter of 2025.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk during the first quarter of 2025. For discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” contained in our Annual Report.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We conducted, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d- 15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of March 31, 2025. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed (i) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
We are in the process of a multi-year implementation of a new global ERP system, which will replace our existing operating and financial systems. The implementation is expected to occur in phases over the next several years. During the first quarter of 2025, we completed the implementation of our new ERP system for one of our manufacturing sites. The portion of the transition to the new ERP system that we have completed to date did not result in significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting. However, as the next phases of the updated processes are rolled out in connection with the ERP implementation, we will give appropriate consideration to whether these process changes necessitate changes in the design of and the testing for effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
Part II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Refer to the discussion of certain environmental, asbestos and other litigation matters in “Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies” to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the following risk factor, along with the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the Company’s other filings with the SEC, which are available at www.sec.gov and on the Company’s website at www.rogerscorp.com.
Changes in U.S. trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs and the resulting consequences, may have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
The recent imposition by the United States of tariffs, sanctions and other restrictions on goods imported into the United States, and countermeasures imposed by foreign countries in response to such government actions, if not significantly and promptly moderated or eliminated, is expected to increase the cost of goods for our products or reduce our ability to sell products globally, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. The ultimate impact of these trade measures on our business operations and financial results is uncertain and may be affected by various factors, including whether and when such trade measures are implemented, the timing of when such measures may become effective, and the amount, scope, or nature of such trade measures, and our ability to execute strategies to mitigate the negative impacts.
Additionally, the U.S. government has adopted new approaches to trade policy and in some cases, may renegotiate, or potentially abrogate, certain existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements. The U.S. government has also imposed significant, additional tariff increases to capture other countries and types of foreign goods. Such current and future tariff increases, expanding tariffs to capture other countries and types of foreign goods or other changes in U.S. trade policy, if not
significantly and promptly moderated or eliminated, is expected to make it more difficult or costly for us to procure necessary materials and equipment to conduct our business as a manufacturer and supplier of engineered materials and components, and may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
In addition, in response to tariffs, other countries have implemented retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. The imposition of retaliatory (or new) tariffs on the sale of U.S. goods into foreign countries, if not significantly and promptly moderated or eliminated, may result in a reduction in our net sales in foreign markets, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce trade volume, investment, technological exchange, and other economic activities between major international economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, which could, in turn, have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition.
Item 5. Other Information
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, none of our directors or officers adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement”, as each term is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.
