Results of Operations and Financial Condition, Regulation FD Disclosure, Financial St
In a Press Release dated November 2, 2009, the Registrant announced its third quarter of 2009 results. The Registrant's Press Release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a registrant's historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the issuer; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. In this regard, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Registrant has provided reconciliations within the earnings release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Rogers believes that net loss per share, excluding the effect of any restructuring and impairment charges, is a measure that should be presented in addition to results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and is useful to investors. The following matters should be considered when evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures:
o Rogers reviews the operating results of its businesses excluding the impact of any restructuring and impairment charges because it provides an additional basis of comparison. We believe that these events are unusual in nature, and would not be indicative of ongoing operating results. As a result, management believes such charges should be excluded in order to compare past, current and future periods.
o Restructuring and impairment charges principally represent adjustments to the carrying value of certain assets and do not typically require a cash payment.
o Restructuring and impairment charges are typically material and are considered to be outside the normal operations of a business. Corporate management is responsible for making decisions about such charges.
The non-GAAP financial measures included in the earnings release have been reconciled to the comparable GAAP results. This reconciliation can also be found on the Registrant's web site at www.rogerscorporation.com.
