Is Rogers (ROG) Stock Too Pricey For Its Earnings?

Simply Wall St.
Track your investments for FREE with Simply Wall St, the portfolio command center trusted by over 7 million individual investors worldwide. Rogers stock has delivered a strong 83.8% return over the past year, yet its valuation checks and earnings multiples suggest the shares are not obviously cheap at current levels. The 83.8% gain over the last 12 months raises the risk that recent enthusiasm is already reflected in the price. Recent revenue growth and improved profitability can support investor confidence in the business. However, any setback in customer demand or margins may weigh heavily on what looks like a full valuation. Rogers scores 2 of 6 on Simply Wall St's valuation checks, which leans expensive rather than a clear bargain on the broader metrics, as seen in the valuation summary. The issue now is whether the current share price already captures the recent improvements in Rogers' performance or still leaves room for further upside. Rogers delivered 83.8% returns over the last year. See how this stacks up to the rest of the Electronic industry. For Rogers, the P/E ratio is a useful yardstick because the company is already profitable and investors often anchor on earnings for a business like this. The stock trades on about 73.3x earnings, which is more than double the Electronic industry average of roughly 31.2x and only slightly below a peer group average of about 76.6x. That places Rogers at the higher end of the sector on this measure. The fair P/E ratio from the model is about 37.7x, which is roughly half of where Rogers trades today. The recent second quarter 2026 update points to solid revenue and adjusted earnings progress. However, the current valuation already assumes a lot of good news when set against this more tailored benchmark. Investors are paying a significant premium compared with what the model suggests would be a more typical earnings multiple for the company. On the P/E multiple, Rogers stock currently screens as overvalued relative to both its industry and the modelled fair ratio.

Rogers Q2 Earnings Call Highlights

MarketBeat
Interested in Rogers Corporation? Here are five stocks we like better. Rogers delivered strong second-quarter results: Sales rose 6.9% year over year to $216.8 million, while adjusted EBITDA increased to $37.6 million and adjusted EPS surged 171% to $0.92. Growth was led by industrial, electronics and communications, with automotive also posting modest gains. Supply-chain disruptions and a facility incident pressured earnings: Raw-material shortages, freight delays, higher operating expenses and a temporary factory shutdown reduced second-quarter earnings by more than $0.10 per share, although the facility issue has been resolved. The company expects broad growth in the third quarter: Rogers forecast revenue of $233 million to $243 million, adjusted EBITDA of $44 million to $50 million and adjusted EPS of $1.10 to $1.30. Management expects strength in aerospace and defense and general industrial markets, supported by higher volumes and restructuring savings despite commodity-cost and factory-underutilization headwinds. Rogers (NYSE:ROG) reported second-quarter 2026 sales growth and substantially higher profitability, while outlining a third-quarter outlook that calls for revenue growth across each of its major end markets. Second-quarter sales totaled $216.8 million, up 6.9% from a year earlier and above the midpoint of the company’s guidance range. President and CEO Ali El-Haj said the top-line performance reflected improving demand and market-share gains. → Volatility Is Back and These 3 Market Tollbooths Are Best Positioned to Profit Adjusted EBITDA increased to $37.6 million, or 17.3% of sales, compared with $23.9 million in the prior-year period.

Chief Financial Officer Laura Russell said the combined impact of those factors exceeded $0.10 per share. El-Haj said Rogers continues to encounter shortages of certain raw materials, including silver and copper, as well as extended freight lead times related to conditions in the Middle East. Transit times that had historically ranged from four to six weeks have extended to more than 12 weeks in some cases, he said. → 2 Stocks Built to Thrive If Inflation Refuses to Fade Rogers also experienced a small fire at one facility that suspended manufacturing for several days and required cleanup work. El-Haj said the issue has been resolved and no employees were injured. Russell later said raw-material and freight headwinds, together with operating-expense timing and investments, represented roughly 70% to 80% of the second-quarter earnings impact. The balance was associated with the facility event. Industrial remained Rogers’ largest end market, accounting for about 37% of year-to-date sales. Revenue in the segment grew at a high single-digit rate from the prior-year quarter, supported by improving general industrial demand in the U.S. and Europe, particularly in the company’s silicone solutions business. Mass-transit demand was also strong, led by U.S. rail applications. Automotive represented about 25% of quarterly sales and grew at a low single-digit rate year over year. Sales of advanced driver-assistance systems and internal-combustion-engine vehicle applications increased. Electric-vehicle revenue was flat from a year earlier, as better power-substrate sales offset lower orders for EV battery materials. El-Haj said EV and hybrid-electric battery sales improved sequentially, and recent design wins are expected to support stronger EV sales in the second half as new programs ramp. Electronics and communications, which accounted for about 18% of sales, posted double-digit revenue growth. The performance was driven by wireless-infrastructure and smartphone demand, with smartphone sales benefiting from higher-end device mix and customer share gains. Aerospace and defense represented 15% of revenue and declined slightly year over year. Defense sales were lower because of customer ordering variability, though commercial aerospace demand improved. El-Haj said defense revenue is expected to improve significantly in the second half, while commercial aerospace demand remains strong. For the third quarter, Rogers forecast revenue of $233 million to $243 million. At the midpoint, the outlook represents 10% year-over-year growth. The company expects all four major end markets to grow, with particular strength anticipated in aerospace and defense and general industrial. Gross margin is expected to range from 33.2% to 34.2%. Adjusted EPS is forecast at $1.10 to $1.30. Adjusted EBITDA is projected at $44 million to $50 million. The midpoint of EBITDA guidance implies a 19.7% margin, up 250 basis points from the third quarter of 2025. Russell said third-quarter gross margin will be affected by underutilization at the company’s newer ceramic factory in China, which is expected to create an approximately 85-basis-point headwind. Commodity costs are also expected to remain a pressure. However, Rogers expects higher volume and cost-structure improvement actions to support margins. The company is working on supply contracts, copper sourcing and engineering initiatives intended to reduce material consumption. Russell said the company may pass through certain incremental commodity costs to customers in some situations, though such pricing changes can lag cost increases. The company also said its $13 million restructuring program involving the ceramic facility remains on track, with some savings already appearing in results. Rogers ended the second quarter with more than $211 million in cash and short-term investments, up $15.6 million from the end of the first quarter. Operating cash flow was $24.4 million, while free cash flow was $18.3 million. Capital expenditures were $6.1 million during the quarter, and the company expects full-year capital spending of $30 million to $35 million. The company repurchased $3 million of shares during the quarter, partially offsetting dilution from annual share issuances. Russell said Rogers intends to balance shareholder returns with other capital-allocation priorities and cited the company’s balance sheet as a source of strategic flexibility. El-Haj said testing and validation of Rogers’ microchannel cooler technology for high-power artificial intelligence and data-center applications continued with multiple customers. The company is also sampling high-frequency circuit materials for data-center uses with prospective customers, with initial feedback described as positive. Rogers plans to provide more details on its strategy, growth opportunities, innovation programs, capital-allocation priorities and long-term financial planning at an analyst and investor day in New York City on Sept. 30, 2026. Rogers Corporation (NYSE: ROG) is a global technology and materials company specializing in the development and manufacture of engineered materials and components.

Q: Can you elaborate on the supply chain challenges and the one-time event mentioned during the quarter? Have these issues been resolved as we look into Q3? A: Ali El-Haj, President and CEO, explained that they are experiencing raw material shortages and logistics delays, particularly due to the situation in the Middle East, which has extended transit times. A small fire in one of their plants caused a temporary suspension of manufacturing, but this has been resolved without safety issues. However, freight and raw material challenges remain ongoing. Q: The Q3 guidance implies 10% top-line growth at the midpoint. Can you provide more color on the impact of underutilization in China and input cost margin pressures? A: Laura Russell, CFO, noted that the underutilization of the new China factory is expected to cause an 85 basis point headwind in Q3. Commodity costs and supply pressures will also impact margins. They are working on mitigating these through supply contracts, engineering initiatives, and potentially passing some costs to customers. Q: What are the biggest contributors to the recent acceleration in growth, and are these programs longer-term or short-term? A: Ali El-Haj highlighted that market share gains and new program wins are driving growth. The momentum is expected to continue with new design wins and improved operational performance. The growth is broad-based across industries and not considered seasonal. Q: Can you elaborate on the data center opportunities and other programs beyond microchannel coolers and curamik Power Plus? A: Ali El-Haj mentioned that they have several high-potential programs in the EV and auto markets, which are part of their strategic initiatives. These are in motion and expected to attract substantial customer interest. Q: How would you characterize your customers' willingness to move forward on various programs given the current uncertain environment? A: Ali El-Haj stated that customer interactions and program schedules remain as expected, with no major shifts in sentiment. Some customers are shifting production geographically, which benefits Rogers due to their global manufacturing capabilities.

Rogers Corporation Q2 2026 Earnings Call Summary

Moby
Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. Revenue growth of 6.9% was driven by a combination of improving market demand and specific share gains across the industrial and electronics segments. Industrial performance, the largest segment, was bolstered by market share gains in Silicon Solutions and strong rail application demand in the U.S. mass transit sector. Electronics and Communications saw double-digit growth due to a favorable mix of high-end smartphones and customer share gains in wireless infrastructure. EV market sales remained flat as improved power substrate revenues were offset by lower battery material orders, though sequential improvements suggest a bottoming out. Management attributes the broad-based growth to an agile, customer-focused organizational pivot that has shortened lead times and accelerated response to design changes. Aerospace and Defense experienced slight declines due to customer ordering variability, though commercial aerospace demand within the AMS business remained a bright spot. Q3 guidance assumes 10% year-over-year revenue growth, supported by a significant expected recovery in defense sales and continued strength in general industrial markets. Management expects adjusted EBITDA margins to reach approximately 20% in Q3, representing a 250 basis point year-over-year improvement driven by volume and cost actions. The R&D pipeline is focused on microchannel cooler technology and high-frequency circuit materials for next-generation AI server architectures and high-power data centers. Second-half EV sales are projected to strengthen as recent design wins for new programs begin to ramp up into late 2026 and early 2027. Capital expenditure for the full year 2026 is targeted between $30 million and $35 million to support strategic flexibility and innovation. A one-time facility fire event and subsequent cleanup costs impacted Q2 earnings, contributing to a total EPS headwind of more than $0.10 from various operational challenges. Supply chain disruptions, specifically raw material shortages and extended transit times from the Middle East (increasing from a range of 4 to 6 weeks to over 12 weeks in some instances), remain an ongoing challenge. The ramp-up of the new Ceramic China factory is expected to create an 85 basis p…Read full document

A one-time facility fire event and subsequent cleanup costs impacted Q2 earnings, contributing to a total EPS headwind of more than $0.10 from various operational challenges. Supply chain disruptions, specifically raw material shortages and extended transit times from the Middle East (increasing from a range of 4 to 6 weeks to over 12 weeks in some instances), remain an ongoing challenge. The ramp-up of the new Ceramic China factory is expected to create an 85 basis point gross margin headwind in the third quarter due to underutilization. Rising commodity costs for silver and copper are pressuring margins, though management is evaluating price pass-throughs and engineering initiatives to reduce consumption. One stock. Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first. Get the pick. Tap here. Management clarified that the growth is not seasonal but driven by market share gains and new program launches scheduled through early 2027. The growth is broad-based across all four major end markets rather than being concentrated in a single industry. The facility fire issue is fully resolved, but logistics delays and raw material tightness in copper and silver are expected to continue. Management noted that while they see 'light at the end of the tunnel' for materials, freight expenses remain a persistent headwind. The elevated rate is due to valuation allowances in specific jurisdictions based on current business performance. Management expects to work toward a lower rate in 2027 as business results improve and tax optimization strategies are implemented. Management indicated they have been very active in evaluating opportunities over the last few months, focusing on strategic fit over current market volatility. They suggested that the current market environment might provide better valuation opportunities than a year ago, with potential updates coming in the next quarter.

Rogers Corp. (ROG) Q2 Earnings Miss Estimates

Zacks
Rogers Corp. (ROG) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.92 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.99 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.34 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -7.07%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this specialty materials company would post earnings of $0.68 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.75, delivering a surprise of +10.29%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. Rogers Corp., which belongs to the Zacks Electronics - Miscellaneous Components industry, posted revenues of $216.8 million for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.84%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $202.8 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Rogers Corp. shares have added about 41.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.3%. While Rogers Corp. has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Rogers Corp. was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete li…Read full document

Rogers’s (NYSE:ROG) Q2 CY2026 Sales Top Estimates, Provides Optimistic Revenue Guidance for Next Quarter

StockStory
Engineered materials manufacturer Rogers (NYSE:ROG) announced better-than-expected revenue in Q2 CY2026, with sales up 6.9% year on year to $216.8 million. On top of that, next quarter’s revenue guidance ($238 million at the midpoint) was surprisingly good and 5.6% above what analysts were expecting. Its GAAP profit of $0.76 per share was 16.9% below analysts’ consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy Rogers? Find out in our full research report. Revenue: $216.8 million vs analyst estimates of $215 million (6.9% year-on-year growth, 0.8% beat) EPS (GAAP): $0.76 vs analyst expectations of $0.92 (16.9% miss) Adjusted EBITDA: $37.6 million vs analyst estimates of $37.15 million (17.3% margin, 1.2% beat) Revenue Guidance for Q3 CY2026 is $238 million at the midpoint, above analyst estimates of $225.5 million Operating Margin: 9.2%, up from 4.2% in the same quarter last year Free Cash Flow Margin: 11.3%, up from 2.8% in the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $2.31 billion With roots dating back to 1832, making it one of America's oldest continuously operating companies, Rogers (NYSE:ROG) designs and manufactures specialized engineered materials and components used in electric vehicles, telecommunications, renewable energy, and other high-performance applications. Reviewing a company’s long-term sales performance reveals insights into its quality. Even a bad business can shine for one or two quarters, but a top-tier one grows for years. With $834.8 million in revenue over the past 12 months, Rogers is a small player in the business services space, which sometimes brings disadvantages compared to larger competitors benefiting from economies of scale and numerous distribution channels. As you can see below, Rogers struggled to increase demand as its $834.8 million of sales for the trailing 12 months was close to its revenue five years ago. This shows demand was soft, a rough starting point for our analysis. Long-term growth is the most important, but within business services, a half-decade historical view may miss new innovations or demand cycles. Rogers’s annualized revenue declines of 1.6% over the last two years align with its five-year trend, suggesting its demand has consistently shrunk. This quarter, Rogers reported year-on-year revenue growth of 6.9%, and its $216.8 million of revenue exceeded Wall Street’s estimates by 0.8%. Company management i…Read full document

Rogers’s annualized revenue declines of 1.6% over the last two years align with its five-year trend, suggesting its demand has consistently shrunk. This quarter, Rogers reported year-on-year revenue growth of 6.9%, and its $216.8 million of revenue exceeded Wall Street’s estimates by 0.8%. Company management is currently guiding for a 10.2% year-on-year increase in sales next quarter. Looking further ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 8.6% over the next 12 months, an improvement versus the last two years. This projection is healthy and suggests its newer products and services will fuel better top-line performance. ALSO WORTH WATCHING: Nvidia’s Quiet Partner. Nvidia’s chips cost a hundred grand.

Rogers was profitable over the last five years but held back by its large cost base. Its average adjusted operating margin of 8.7% was weak for a business services business. Looking at the trend in its profitability, Rogers’s adjusted operating margin decreased by 2.3 percentage points over the last five years. Rogers’s performance was poor no matter how you look at it - it shows that costs were rising and it couldn’t pass them onto its customers. This quarter, Rogers generated an adjusted operating margin profit margin of 9.2%, up 2.9 percentage points year on year. This increase was a welcome development and shows it was more efficient. Revenue trends explain a company’s historical growth, but the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) points to the profitability of that growth — for example, a company could inflate its sales through excessive spending on advertising and promotions. Sadly for Rogers, its EPS declined by 16.7% annually over the last five years while its revenue was flat. This tells us the company struggled because its fixed cost base made it difficult to adjust to choppy demand. We can take a deeper look into Rogers’s earnings to better understand the drivers of its performance. As we mentioned earlier, Rogers’s adjusted operating margin expanded this quarter but declined by 2.3 percentage points over the last five years. This was the most relevant factor (aside from the revenue impact) behind its lower earnings; interest expenses and taxes can also affect EPS but don’t tell us as much about a company’s fundamentals. Like with revenue, we analyze EPS over a more recent period because it can provide insight into an emerging theme or development for the business. For Rogers, its two-year annual EPS declines of 25.1% show it’s continued to underperform. These results were bad no matter how you slice the data. In Q2, Rogers reported EPS of $0.76, up from negative $4 in the same quarter last year. Despite growing year on year, this print missed analysts’ estimates. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects Rogers’s full-year EPS to grow 124% from $1.75 to $3.92. We were impressed by Rogers’s optimistic revenue guidance for next quarter, which blew past analysts’ expectations. We were also happy its revenue narrowly outperformed Wall Street’s estimates. On the other hand, its EPS missed. Zooming out, we think this was a mixed quarter. The stock remained flat at $119.14 immediately following the results. So should you invest in Rogers right now? If you’re making that decision, you should consider the bigger picture of valuation, business qualities, as well as the latest earnings.

(Financial statements follow) Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures Non-GAAP Financial Measures: This earnings release includes the following financial measures that are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"): (1) Adjusted earnings per diluted share, which the Company defines as earnings (loss) per diluted share excluding acquisition and related integration costs, dispositions, intangible amortization, restructuring, severance, impairment and other related costs, asbestos-related charges (credits), and the related income tax effect on these items, and charges to income tax expense for valuation allowances on deferred tax assets generated in prior years, divided by adjusted weighted average shares outstanding - diluted; (2) Adjusted EBITDA, which the Company defines as net income (loss) excluding acquisition and related integration costs, dispositions, intangible amortization, severance, impairment and other related costs, asbestos-related charges (credits), interest income (expense), net, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation of fixed assets, and equity compensation expense; (3) Adjusted EBITDA margin, which the Company defines as the percentage that results from dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total net sales; (4) Free cash flow, which the Company defines as net cash provided by operating activities less non-acquisition capital expenditures. Management believes adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to the Company’s performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure the Company’s core operating results due to potential variability across periods based on the timing, frequency and magnitude of such items. As a result, management believes that these measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze trends in the Company’s business and evaluate the Company’s performance relative to peer companies. Management also believes free cash flow is useful to investors as an additional way of viewing the Company's liquidity and provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company's cash flows. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as alternatives to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from, and should not be compared to, similarly named measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of the differences between these non-GAAP financial measures and their most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP are set forth below. The Company provides quarterly guidance for adjusted earnings per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA on a non-GAAP basis only. The forward-looking comparable GAAP measures and a reconciliation of adjusted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA to GAAP are excluded in reliance upon the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying, without unreasonable efforts, certain reconciling items. These include, among other things, adjustments that could be made for acquisition and related integration costs, dispositions, intangible amortization, restructuring, severance, impairment and other related costs, asbestos-related charges (credits), and charges to income tax expense for valuation allowances on deferred tax assets generated in prior years, and other charges reflected in the Company’s reconciliations of historic numbers, the amount of which, based on historical experience, could be significant.

Good afternoon, and welcome to the Rogers Corporation Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call. The slides for today's call can be found in the Investors section of our website, along with the news release that was issued earlier today. Please turn to Slide two. Before we begin, I'd like to note that statements in this conference call that are not strictly historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and should be considered as subject to the many uncertainties that exist in Rogers' operations and environment. These uncertainties include economic conditions, market demands, and competitive factors. Such factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statement made today. Please turn to Slide three. The discussions during this conference call will also reference certain financial measures that were not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Steve Haymore

A reconciliation of those non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in the slide deck for today's call. With me today are Ali El-Haj, President and CEO, and Laura Russell, Senior Vice President and CFO. I will now turn the call over to Ali.

Ali El-Haj

Thank you, Steve, and thank you, everyone, for joining us today. I'll begin on Slide four. We delivered another quarter of solid progress as our commercial and profitability initiatives continue to gain traction across all business units. Sales were at $216.8 million, up 6.9% from the prior year and above the midpoint of our guidance. The stronger top line reflects both improving demand and share gains. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $38 million, or 17.3% of sales, and adjusted EPS of $0.92 was significantly higher than the level we reported a year ago. The result marked another quarter of meaningful year-over-year improvement in growth and profitability. Over the last several quarters, we have focused on creating a more agile, customer-focused organization while improving our operating efficiency.

Ali El-Haj

We are making progress and continue to focus on driving actions that will translate into further improvements in our financial performance and position Rogers for sustainable value creation. While the overall results reflect improvements, adjusted EPS was below the midpoint of guidance, primarily due to supply chain headwinds and a one-time facility event. The outlook for the third quarter is strong, with sales expected to increase 10% versus the prior year. We expect sales to grow in all end markets, with particular strength in A&D, industrial, and electronics and communication end markets. Adjusted EBITDA margins are projected to reach 20% and increase year-over-year by 250 basis points. On Slide 5, industrial remained our largest end market at approximately 37% of year-to-date sales and delivered high single-digit growth compared to the second quarter of last year.

Ali El-Haj

Performance was driven by continued improvement in AMS general industrial demand in both the U.S. and Europe. This growth was led by our silicone solutions business, which is experiencing healthy demand and gaining market share. Mass transit was also strong, led by rail applications in the U.S. The broad-based nature of this growth is encouraging and reflects both improving market conditions and the benefits of our intense commercial initiatives. Automotive represented approximately 25% of sales during the quarter. Revenue increased at a low single-digit rate year-over-year, supported by higher sales of ADAS and ICE vehicle applications. Sales into the EV market were flat versus the prior year, as improved power substrate revenues were offset by lower orders of materials for EV batteries. On a sequential basis, EV and HEV battery sales improved.

Ali El-Haj

Helped by recent design wins, we expect stronger second half EV sales as the new programs continue to ramp up. Electronics and communications accounted for approximately 18% of sales and was one of our strongest performing end markets during the quarter. Revenue increased at a double-digit rate year-over-year from higher sales into the wireless infrastructure and smartphone markets. Smartphone sales increased versus Q2 2025 from a favorable mix of higher-end devices and continued benefits from customer share gains. Lastly, aerospace and defense sales accounted for 15% of revenue and decreased slightly from last year. Defense sales were lower due to normal variability in customer ordering patterns and were partially offset by improved commercial aerospace sales in the AMS business. We expect defense sales to improve significantly, while commercial aerospace demand remains strong in the second half of the year.

Ali El-Haj

Overall, we are pleased with the progress across our portfolio. The three largest end markets delivered year-over-year growth during the quarter, and our third quarter outlook reflects growth across all end markets. Next, I will update the progress we are making on the new products in our R&D pipeline. First, testing and validation of our microchannel cooler technology for high power AI and data center applications continue to advance with multiple customers. We are making substantial progress with our customers, and feedback on the differentiated performance of our solutions remains highly encouraging. Customer evaluations continue to provide independent validation of our ability to address the demanding thermal management requirements of next generation computing platforms. Second, we made significant progress during the quarter with our high-frequency circuit materials for data center applications. We are now actively sampling these materials with multiple prospective customers, and initial feedback has been very positive.

Ali El-Haj

Interest continues with an expanding list of customers evaluating our materials. This growing engagement reflects the increasing need for advanced circuit materials capable of addressing the signal integrity challenges associated with next generation AI server architectures. Alongside these programs, we continue to advance other high potential opportunities in other markets, including EV and industrial. Turning to slide six, we are pleased to announce that Rogers will host an analyst and investor day on September 30th, 2026 in New York City. This event will provide a comprehensive update on our strategy, growth opportunities, and innovation initiatives. We will also outline our value creation framework, including capital allocation priorities and long-term financial planning. Additionally, we will provide greater detail on how Rogers is positioned to accelerate top-line growth from opportunities tied to AI data centers, vehicle electrification, and other attractive growth markets.

Ali El-Haj

I will now turn it over to Laura to discuss our Q2 financial performance and Q3 outlook.

Laura Russell

Thank you, Ali, and good afternoon to everyone. As Ali mentioned, we are seeing solid momentum in our top-line results for Q2 and our third quarter guidance. We are also encouraged by the meaningful year-over-year improvement in our results as we continue to execute our critical initiatives. Starting on slide seven, I'll review our Q2 financial results. Second quarter sales were $216.8 million, increasing 6.9% from the prior year period and exceeding the midpoint of our guidance range. Approximately two-thirds of the sales increase was driven by stronger demand and mix, with the remaining attributed to foreign currency benefits. AES sales increased 7.8% year-over-year. By end market, electronics and communication sales increased, as did automotive sales. The improvement in automotive sales resulted from higher ceramic power substrate sales for electric vehicles. EMS sales improved by 6% versus the prior year.

Laura Russell

By end market, sales increased in industrial, electronics and communications, and A&D segments. This was partially offset by lower automotive sales. Gross margin was 32.5%, up 90 basis points year-over-year. Adjusted EPS was $0.92, up 171% from the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA was $37.6 million or 17.3% of sales, an increase of 550 basis points versus the prior year period. All three metrics were within our guidance range. Adjusted EPS was below the midpoint of the guidance range due to supply chain headwinds, a one-time facility event, and higher operating expenses. The cumulative impact of these items was more than $0.10 of earnings per share. Turning to slide eight, second quarter Adjusted EBITDA increased to $37.6 million from $23.9 million in the prior year quarter. The largest contributor to the 550 basis point year-over-year improvement resulted from higher sales and improved product mix.

Laura Russell

Similar to the prior quarter, reductions in manufacturing costs and operating expenses also contributed to the higher Adjusted EBITDA. We had a $1 million headwind in EBITDA versus the prior year from the ramp of our new China factory. Continuing to slide nine, I'll discuss cash utilization for the quarter. Cash and short-term investments at the end of Q2 exceeded $211 million, an increase $15.6 million from the end of the first quarter. Cash provided by operations was $24.4 million, compared to $5.8 million in Q1 2026. Free cash flow was $18.3 million. The improved cash flow was primarily driven by higher sales and adjusted EBITDA. Overall, working capital increased mainly as a result of higher sales, which drove an increase in accounts receivable and inventories. Capital expenditures in Q2 were $6.1 million. We expect the full year 2026 capital expenditure range between $30 million and $35 million.

Laura Russell

We repurchased $3 million of shares in the second quarter, which partially offset the dilutive effects of annual share issuances. We will continue to balance returning capital to shareholders with other priorities. We continue to have a strong balance sheet, which provides us with strategic flexibility. Consistent with historical patterns, we expect cash flow to improve further into the second half of the year. Next, on slide 10, I'll discuss our guidance for the third quarter. Consistent with our Q2 results, we expect all Q3 financial metrics to improve versus the prior year. We're guiding Q3 revenues to be between $233 million and $243 million. The midpoint of the range is a 10% increase in sales year-over-year. The guidance includes an expectation for growth in all four of our major end markets, with significant strength in aerospace and defense and general industrial.

Laura Russell

We're guiding gross margin in the range of 33.2%-34.2%. The midpoint of the range is 20 basis points higher than the prior year. We are realizing improved margins due to higher volumes and our cost structure improvement actions. However, these are partially offset by the underutilization during the ramp of our ceramic China factory and increased commodity costs. We expect Q3 adjusted operating expenses to remain approximately flat sequentially. Adjusted EPS is forecasted to range from $1.10-$1.30. The $1.20 midpoint compares to adjusted EPS of $0.90 in Q3 of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to range from $44 million-$50 million. This equates to a 19.7% EBITDA margin at the midpoint of the range, which would be a 250 basis point improvement versus the third quarter of 2025. Lastly, we project our non-GAAP full-year tax rate to be approximately 32%.

Laura Russell

I will now turn the call back over to Ali.

Ali El-Haj

Thanks, Laura. In summary, we continued to make progress toward our growth and profitability initiatives in the second quarter. Revenue exceeded expectations. Profitability improved substantially year-over-year. Our outlook points to continued momentum in the third quarter. I also want to thank our employees around the world for their commitment, agility, and focus on serving our customers. Their efforts continue to make a meaningful difference in our performance and future opportunities. That concludes our prepared remarks. I will now turn the call back to the operator for questions.

Operator

Thank you. At this time, we will conduct our question and answer session. To the analysts, please limit yourselves to two questions. You may reenter the queue to ask additional questions if needed. To ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate that your line is in the question queue. You may press star two if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys. One moment, please, while we pull for questions. Your first question comes from Daniel Moore with CJS Securities. Please state your question.

Daniel Moore

Thank you. Good afternoon, Ali. Good afternoon, Laura. I appreciate the color. Maybe just a quick review, then we'll go forward. Can you just elaborate a little on the supply chain challenges as well as the one-time event that you called out during the quarter and whether those issues have been largely resolved at this point as we look into Q3?

Ali El-Haj

Yeah. Thanks, Dan. On the supply side, we still have experiencing some raw material shortages, as well as, I would say, logistics or lead from a freight perspective. It's just taking longer due to the situation in the Middle East. Typically, from transit time from four to six weeks in the past, now it's taking somewhere between over 12 weeks in some instances. That's one of the issues. On the one-time event, we experienced a small fire in one of our plants that actually ended up suspending manufacturing for a few days. Between that and some cleanup costs on the facility, that's been resolved. Thankfully, no issues, safety issues. Our employees were safe. That's been resolved. Regarding the freight and the freight expenses, as well as the lead time, that hasn't been resolved, as you know. That's still an ongoing issue.

Ali El-Haj

On the raw material side, there is still, from a silver and copper perspective, we still see some tightness in the market. However, we see a light at the end of the tunnel. Hope that answers the question.

Daniel Moore

No, that gives great color. Looking forward, kind of, the Q2 guide implies, as you called out, 10% top-line growth at the midpoint, a very nice acceleration. Gross margin, it was improved significantly year-over-year, the guidance implies relatively moderate improvement. Just maybe talk about or give more color on the impact of the underutilization in China as well as in the new facility, as well as some of those input cost margin pressures and just trying to get at what gross margin might look like as we roll a little bit forward with that type of revenue and volume once we get beyond those headwinds. Thanks again for all the color.

Laura Russell

Hi, Daniel, it's Laura. Let me start and give you some color and perspective of the guidance there. You're right at the midpoint of the guidance, the margin expansion on a gross margin basis is somewhat modest at 20 basis points. If you look further down the P&L, we continue to see substantial improvement in what we're committing from an EBITDA perspective and EPS expansion. Specifically on what's happening and the movements that we're managing in gross margin, that's really associated to the underutilization continuing that you called out in our ramping activities with our factory in China. We are starting to build a little bit of momentum, it will take time to ramp there. As a result of that, it's likely to cause us about 85 basis points of a headwind in the third quarter that was incorporated in the guide.

Laura Russell

In addition to that, Ali referenced the pressure that the commodity costs and supply had to our Q2 execution. We anticipate some of that continuing into the third quarter, which will pressurize our gross margins there. With that said, we continue to work globally as an organization in managing our supply contracts, the timing of what we're acquiring, and looking also our copper program, and evaluating that. We'll continue to work the process. The other thing I should also mention is we also have some engineering initiatives in flight to reduce consumption. All of that is crystallizing in short-term pressure. What we'll continue to do is work to mitigate it. Finally, I should round that out with saying, we also in our customer agreements, our supply agreements, we do everything we can to mitigate the impact internally through our actions and initiatives.

Laura Russell

Worst case, there are some scenarios where we will pass on some of the incremental costs, particularly for commodities. Naturally, there's a lag and a timing impact from when that crystallizes in the P&L versus when we agree with our customers on the pricing changes.

Daniel Moore

Precisely what I assumed and would have implied. I'll stick to the two questions and jump back in queue, but certainly look forward to hearing more about the accelerating opportunities in AI and data centers in September. Thanks for the color.

Laura Russell

You're welcome.

Operator

Your next question comes from Craig Ellis with B. Riley Securities. Please state your question.

Craig Ellis

Yeah. The first question, I'll just make it a high-level one. Ali, the business has done a very good job of showing accelerating growth over the last couple quarters and into the third quarter. We've gone from 5% year-on-year to 7% year-on-year, and now 10%. We're seeing some nice acceleration in the business. Can you talk about, from your vantage point, what are the biggest contributors to this increase in growth? And as we look at some of the drivers in the third quarter to the 10% with all end markets growing year-on-year, to what extent are the programs underneath that really longer live programs versus things that might be just much more seasonal or short-term?

Ali El-Haj

Well, thanks, Craig. I think the credit goes to the team here. The organization really has performed well. I think our performance is definitely helping us here gain some market share in existing markets. That's improving our top line, obviously. In the meantime, also, we managed to win some new program, new businesses that will launch in Q3 and Q4 and into early 2027. I think the momentum is going to continue, again, based on design wins, the performance of the organization regarding shortening lead time, the response to customer needs, quick design changes, and quick new applications adoption by, again, the market and the response from our organization. I think really it's a broad base growth. It's not limited to one industry. I don't consider that to be seasonal.

Ali El-Haj

I think the momentum will continue to gain momentum here on the top line.

Craig Ellis

That's really helpful. Going back to the comments on the data center opportunity, I believe you mentioned that the microchannel cooler product and curamik Power Plus are seeing very good engagement with customers. I think you also said that there were some other opportunities that the company was engaging with beyond those two, I was hoping you could elaborate on that further and give us some insight as to what could happen. Thank you.

Ali El-Haj

Yeah. Thanks again, Craig. I think we plan on, as I mentioned on the investor day, we plan to share a lot more details with you guys and the investors here and a lot more details regarding all of those initiatives that we have in place. We do have, the ones I was referring to, we have a couple of other programs that in process right now related to the EV market/auto market. Those are extremely high potential programs that the team identified in our strategic initiative. Right now they are really in motion, and we think that we're going to be getting substantial interest here from potential customers.

Craig Ellis

Okay. We'll look forward to hearing more about that at the end of September. Thanks, Ali.

Ali El-Haj

Thank you.

Operator

Your next question comes from David Silver with Freedom Capital Markets. Please state your question.

David Silver

Yeah. Hi. Good afternoon. Thank you. I just want to maybe follow up on, I guess, Craig's comment about accelerating growth. If I was looking at the slide five, where you do go sales by end market, you mentioned Aerospace and Defense was down a little bit due to timing. You are looking for a bigger sequential bump from 2Q to 3Q. I was just wondering, is the nature of the timing of orders in Aerospace and Defense, which I guess I consider one of the strongest end markets in the current environment. Is that a big part of the sequential acceleration in sales growth? Secondly, I was just hoping you could level set, on the cost-cutting program, $13 million that was supposed to be realized by the end of this year, I believe.

David Silver

Can you just set us up for that or level set us? Where are we along those lines? What would be the pace of the remaining cost saves there? Thank you.

Ali El-Haj

Okay. I'll take the first half, I'll turn it back to Laura to answer on the cost savings or the cost initiatives here. With regard to the A&D, again, the first half of the year it's been soft on the defense side, I will say not the commercial piece of the business. The commercial side, if you look at the two major aircraft manufacturers, if you look at their growth and their build year-to-date and year-over-year, our sales to those organization actually has been in relationship, I will say within the same ratio, maybe even slightly higher than the ratio that they show in their numbers. On the defense side, yes, it is lower than what we expected it to be, it is timing.

Ali El-Haj

As we look into Q3, Q4 at the orders that we see right now and our backlog, we see a significant growth compared to the first half of the year. The cost side, I'll turn it back to you.

Laura Russell

Yeah. David, on the cost side, I think you're referring specifically to the $13 million for the restructuring program in the ceramic facility. That program restructuring is on track. It's on track to deliver the savings per the commitment that we made. In fact, there's already some of those savings materializing in the P&L. Some of what we shared, you can see there's some pressures just in terms of volumes and utilization and what we're experiencing the timing of our ramp-up and our operation in China for that same product line.

David Silver

Okay, great. My next question would probably be asking for some commentary about maybe your customers' behaviors. You did mention raw material shortages. You did mention freight delays. It speaks to kind of an uncertain environment that you're navigating here. Also, just with the geopolitics, the macro issues. How would you characterize your customers' willingness to move forward on various programs? So in other words, comparing your customers' expectations or actions now compared to, let's say, January 1st. Have your customers become more cautious or likely to pause progress due to one or another of the issues that you mentioned there? Or would you say it's still kind of steady as she goes and moving forward on the programs as you expect?

Ali El-Haj

No, I think everything today as we stand today, everything is really as expected. We have not seen any major shift or changes either in customer sentiment or in their interaction with us or the new programs that's expected that we're working on. I think as of now, everything remains on schedule and on plan as we've been communicating the last six months or so. The only thing we've probably seen, which even could be a positive sign for us because of geopolitics and uncertainty, we've seen some customers working with us to shift production from some geographical area to another, or shift the product shipments from one region to another and being more local for local than it has been in the past. I think that gives Rogers an advantage because we have manufacturing capabilities across the globe.

Ali El-Haj

We could supply Europe from Europe, North America from North America, and Asia from Asia. I think that's an advantage for us actually. We have not seen anything negative at all, and that's why our projections remain positive, and we're still emphasizing that we will see growth going forward.

David Silver

Okay. Thank you. I appreciate all the color.

Operator

Your next question comes from Daniel Moore with CJS Securities. Please state your question.

Daniel Moore

Thank you once again. Two quick follow-ups. One, the guide for Q3, 10% growth at the midpoint. Could you maybe break that down at least directionally between end market growth, share gains, and FX? Just trying to get a sense for how much of your new products and initiatives are gaining traction.

Laura Russell

I think, Dan, I'll start. Just in terms of FX, we're seeing that there's still a slight benefit in the guidance that's there on a year-on-year basis. Relative to what we experience in Q2 and Q3, we're going to see quite a bit of deceleration in the FX benefit. It's really more in the guidance there, a function of the business growth around both the share gains that we've been articulating based on improved operational performance and continued focus on the innovation and being a partner of choice. Some of what we're experiencing in our markets, given the broad exposure we have in numerous segments, some of which are materially off on a year-over-year basis.

Ali El-Haj

I think we've mentioned that aerospace and defense, it is an area for us where we see significant growth, Q3, Q4, as well as we have a couple of design wins that I think what I alluded to earlier, will help us in the ceramic facility in China. We have a couple of significant wins that will start to launch toward the end of Q3 and into Q4 and Q1 of 2027. I think given all these parameters, we see more design wins, new market share gain, as well as the market growth itself.

Daniel Moore

Really helpful. I realize I may be front-running your Analyst Day a bit, but just trying to put some of these commentary together. The incremental opportunities around EV and auto, those comments are very intriguing. Is it ceramic? Is it technologies that Rogers has been associated with with for a long time, like battery protection, thermal management, power distribution? Are these sort of newer technologies that we're alluding to, beyond what we've maybe talked about so far?

Ali El-Haj

I would say simply put all of the above. It's really a combination of all of the above. I think ceramic, the AMS business. It's really all of the above.

Daniel Moore

Look forward to it. Thank you.

Ali El-Haj

Okay. Thanks.

Operator

Your next question comes from Craig Ellis with B. Riley Securities. Please state your question.

Craig Ellis

Yeah. Thanks for taking the follow-up. It's really just a clarification. Laura, I think I heard you say that the combined impact of the supply chain issue and the facility issue in 2Q was about $0.10. What was the relative impact within the $0.10 of those two items?

Laura Russell

Yeah. You're right, it was $0.10 in total. I think I had another slight driver that I didn't mention in the call back here.

Ali El-Haj

Prepared remarks

Laura Russell

Prepared remarks. In actuality, there was also a little bit of an OpEx impact with some timing and investments there. I would say, roughly speaking, the raw material and freight headwinds and the OpEx was probably about 70%-80% of the impact to EPS, and the residual was the one-time gain that Ali referenced with the small client.

Craig Ellis

Okay. Got it. Thank you.

Laura Russell

You're welcome.

Operator

Thank you. Our next question comes from David Silver with Freedom Capital Markets. Please state your question.

David Silver

Yeah. Thank you again. Just a clarification. I can't read my own writing here, but Laura, I believe you talked about a 32% tax rate. I was just wondering if you could specify, is that the third quarter only? Is that I'm sorry, 32% non-GAAP tax rate. Is that third quarter only? Is that full year? Then, just again, on the tax rate, I believe this year's rate is running a bit above some historical years for the company. Should we expect or, I know it's very early, but should we be penciling in a lower rate for 2027? I'll stop there.

Laura Russell

Sure. Okay. Yes, the 32% is a full year outlook on a non-GAAP basis. You're correct in your observation that on a year-over-year basis, we're seeing some expansion there. Really that's a function of just some valuation allowances in some of our jurisdictions based on the business performance. I think, under Ali's leadership and where the company and the team are pushing towards is a significant improvement and a meaningful improvement in business results, which will assist us getting beyond some of those tax challenges we're experiencing. In addition, the team's already focused on what we can do and how we can evaluate improving our tax performance. I think with all of the above, yes, you should absolutely assume that we'll be working towards an improvement in that rate.

David Silver

Okay, thank you for that. Then last one from me. Again, Laura, I think you talked about use of cash and you used the term balance, which can cover a lot of ground, I guess. Just to my eyes, it is a very volatile publicly traded market. My sense is that private owners of assets that might be interesting to your company might become available in a more volatile market for valuation. If you could just comment on the opportunity funnel that you're seeing here and in your view, are there more likely to be some better opportunities here in the near term than, let's say, over the past couple of years?

Ali El-Haj

Yeah, I think, David. This is Ali, by the way. We are continuing with the evaluate. We've really been very active over the last few months. Yeah, there are opportunities that, again, given the timing we're in, we're just not looking at the valuation based on current conditions. It has to be the strategic fit for the business. I think that's what will be more critical for us. You're right, maybe the timing is going to give us more of an opportunity now than a year ago or so. I think the work is ongoing, and we're hoping in the next quarter or so to be able to share something with you guys.

David Silver

Thank you very much. That's it for me.

Laura Russell

Thanks, David.

David Silver

Thank you.
