Rogers Comments on U.S. Department of Commerce Entity List Designation of Huawei and Affiliates

Rogers Corporation (NYSE:ROG) today commented that it has evaluated the recently issued U.S. Department of Commerce export control restrictions relating to Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. and its affiliates (collectively, “Huawei”) and is implementing additional compliance processes for sales to Huawei’s fabricators and converters, which are Rogers’ direct customers. However, because of the uncertain impact of the new restrictions on Huawei’s global supply chain, it is unclear how demand for Rogers’ products may be affected. Accordingly, the Company is unable to determine what impact, if any, this may have on its financial performance for the second quarter of 2019. The Company will continue to monitor these developments and seek to maintain compliance with applicable laws.
