Rogers (NYSE:ROG) reported Q4 2024 financial results with net sales of $192.2 million, representing an 8.6% decrease from the previous quarter. The decline was attributed to lower sales in both AES and EMS business units, particularly in wireless infrastructure and industrial sectors.

Gross margin decreased to 32.1% from 35.2% in the prior quarter due to lower volume and unfavorable product mix. GAAP operating margin fell to -2.6% from 6.9%, while adjusted operating margin decreased by 700 basis points to 4.7%. The company reported GAAP earnings per diluted share of $(0.03) compared to $0.58 in the previous quarter, and adjusted earnings of $0.46 per diluted share versus $0.98.

The company ended the quarter with $159.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $13.4 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $33.7 million, with capital expenditures of $15.4 million.

Rogers (NYSE:ROG) ha riportato i risultati finanziari del quarto trimestre 2024 con vendite nette di 192,2 milioni di dollari, che rappresentano una diminuzione dell'8,6% rispetto al trimestre precedente.

Il margine lordo è diminuito al 32,1% rispetto al 35,2% del trimestre precedente a causa di un volume inferiore e di un mix di prodotti sfavorevole. Il margine operativo GAAP è sceso a -2,6% rispetto al 6,9%, mentre il margine operativo rettificato è diminuito di 700 punti base al 4,7%. L'azienda ha riportato utili GAAP per azione diluita di $(0,03) rispetto a $0,58 nel trimestre precedente, e utili rettificati di $0,46 per azione diluita rispetto a $0,98.

L'azienda ha concluso il trimestre con 159,8 milioni di dollari in contante e equivalenti, un aumento di 13,4 milioni di dollari. Il flusso di cassa netto derivante dalle attività operative è stato di 33,7 milioni di dollari, con spese in conto capitale di 15,4 milioni di dollari.

Rogers (NYSE:ROG) informó los resultados financieros del cuarto trimestre de 2024 con ventas netas de 192,2 millones de dólares, lo que representa una disminución del 8,6% en comparación con el trimestre anterior. La caída se atribuyó a menores ventas en ambas unidades de negocio, AES y EMS, particularmente en los sectores de infraestructura inalámbrica e industrial.

El margen bruto disminuyó al 32,1% desde el 35,2% del trimestre anterior debido a un menor volumen y una mezcla de productos desfavorable. El margen operativo GAAP cayó al -2,6% desde el 6,9%, mientras que el margen operativo ajustado disminuyó en 700 puntos básicos al 4,7%. La compañía reportó ganancias GAAP por acción diluida de $(0,03) en comparación con $0,58 en el trimestre anterior, y ganancias ajustadas de $0,46 por acción diluida frente a $0,98.

로저스 (NYSE:ROG)는 2024년 4분기 재무 결과를 발표하며 순매출 1억 9220만 달러를 기록했으며, 이는 이전 분기 대비 8.6% 감소한 수치입니다. 이 감소는 AES 및 EMS 사업 부문 모두에서의 판매 감소, 특히 무선 인프라 및 산업 부문에서 기인했습니다.

총 마진은 이전 분기의 35.2%에서 32.1%로 감소했으며, 이는 낮은 판매량과 불리한 제품 혼합 때문입니다. GAAP 운영 마진은 6.9%에서 -2.6%로 떨어졌고, 조정된 운영 마진은 700 베이시스 포인트 감소하여 4.7%에 이르렀습니다. 회사는 희석 주당 GAAP 이익이 $(0.03)로 이전 분기의 $0.58에 비해 감소했으며, 조정된 이익은 희석 주당 $0.46로 이전의 $0.98에 비해 낮아졌습니다.

회사는 분기를 마감하며 1억 5980만 달러의 현금 및 현금성 자산을 보유하고 있으며, 이는 1340만 달러 증가한 수치입니다. 운영 활동에서 발생한 순 현금은 3370만 달러였고, 자본 지출은 1540만 달러였습니다.

Rogers (NYSE:ROG) a publié les résultats financiers du quatrième trimestre 2024 avec des ventes nettes de 192,2 millions de dollars, ce qui représente une baisse de 8,6% par rapport au trimestre précédent. Ce déclin a été attribué à une baisse des ventes dans les deux unités commerciales, AES et EMS, notamment dans les secteurs des infrastructures sans fil et industriel.

La marge brute a diminué à 32,1% contre 35,2% au trimestre précédent en raison d'un volume plus faible et d'un mix de produits défavorable. La marge opérationnelle GAAP est tombée à -2,6% contre 6,9%, tandis que la marge opérationnelle ajustée a diminué de 700 points de base à 4,7%. L'entreprise a rapporté un bénéfice GAAP par action diluée de $(0,03) contre $0,58 au trimestre précédent, et un bénéfice ajusté de $0,46 par action diluée contre $0,98.

L'entreprise a terminé le trimestre avec 159,8 millions de dollars en liquidités et équivalents, soit une augmentation de 13,4 millions de dollars.

Rogers (NYSE:ROG) berichtete über die finanziellen Ergebnisse des vierten Quartals 2024 mit Nettoumsätzen von 192,2 Millionen Dollar, was einem Rückgang von 8,6% im Vergleich zum vorherigen Quartal entspricht. Der Rückgang wurde auf niedrigere Verkaufszahlen in beiden Geschäftsbereichen AES und EMS zurückgeführt, insbesondere im Bereich der drahtlosen Infrastruktur und der Industrie.

Die Bruttomarge sank von 35,2% im vorherigen Quartal auf 32,1% aufgrund eines geringeren Volumens und eines ungünstigen Produktmixes. Die GAAP-Betriebsrendite fiel von 6,9% auf -2,6%, während die bereinigte Betriebsrendite um 700 Basispunkte auf 4,7% sank. Das Unternehmen berichtete über GAAP-Gewinne je verwässerter Aktie von $(0,03) im Vergleich zu $0,58 im vorherigen Quartal und bereinigte Gewinne von $0,46 je verwässerter Aktie gegenüber $0,98.

Das Unternehmen schloss das Quartal mit 159,8 Millionen Dollar an Bargeld und liquiden Mitteln ab, was einem Anstieg von 13,4 Millionen Dollar entspricht. Der Nettogeldzufluss aus betrieblicher Tätigkeit betrug 33,7 Millionen Dollar, während die Investitionsausgaben 15,4 Millionen Dollar betrugen.

Insights

Rogers 's Q4 2024 results reveal a complex financial picture marked by both operational challenges and strategic resilience. The 8.6% sequential revenue decline to $192.2 million stems from broad-based weakness across segments, with particular softness in wireless infrastructure and industrial markets. However, beneath these headline numbers lies a more nuanced story.

The company's operational efficiency initiatives are yielding tangible results, evidenced by strong cash flow generation of $33.7 million from operations despite top-line pressure. The $13.4 million increase in cash position to $159.8 million demonstrates effective working capital management and disciplined capital allocation.

The 310 basis point decline in gross margin to 32.1% warrants attention, as it reflects both volume deleverage and unfavorable mix shifts. However, the company's cost optimization efforts, including procurement savings and yield improvements, have helped cushion the margin impact. The $7.7 million gain from joint venture dissolution provided some offset to higher factory start-up costs, though underlying SG&A trends remain elevated.

Looking forward, Rogers' strategic focus on securing new design wins and optimizing manufacturing footprint positions it well for an eventual market recovery. The cautious customer outlook for EV/HEV and industrial markets suggests near-term challenges may persist, but the company's strong balance sheet and operational initiatives provide financial flexibility to weather the cycle.

Q4 Results In Line with Expectations

CHANDLER, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Rogers Corporation (NYSE:ROG) today announced financial results for the full year and fourth quarter of 2024.

"Our results were consistent with our guidance expectations for the fourth quarter,” stated Colin Gouveia, Rogers' President and CEO. "As anticipated, sales declined due to seasonally lower portable electronics sales and lower wireless infrastructure and industrial revenues. Despite macro and market challenges impacting full year sales, our focused efforts to deliver operations and procurement cost savings, optimize yields and drive throughput improvements helped mitigate the effect of the lower sales on gross margins. These actions, combined with effective expense and working capital management, enabled us to generate solid cash flow and execute our capital allocation priorities.

"Many of our customers remain cautious about the timing of a recovery in the EV/HEV and industrial markets," said Gouveia. "In 2025, we continue to focus on securing new design wins, improving our cost structure and maintaining a strong balance sheet. We are executing on our commercial, innovation and manufacturing footprint priorities, and are confident that these actions will position Rogers to win when market conditions begin to improve."

Q4 2024 Summary of Results
Net sales of $192.2 million decreased 8.6% versus the prior quarter resulting from lower sales in the AES and EMS business units. AES net sales decreased by 8.7% primarily related to lower wireless infrastructure sales, partially offset by higher ADAS and EV/HEV sales. EMS net sales decreased by 8.4% primarily from lower industrial and portable electronics sales, partially offset by higher aerospace and defense sales. Currency exchange rates favorably impacted total company net sales in the fourth quarter of 2024 by $0.6 million compared to the prior quarter.

Gross margin decreased to 32.1% from 35.2% in the prior quarter primarily from lower volume and unfavorable product mix.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased by $2.9 million from the prior quarter to $42.2 million. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to a $7.7 million gain in connection with the dissolution of a joint venture, partially offset by higher factory start-up costs.

GAAP operating margin of (2.6)% decreased from 6.9% in the prior quarter, primarily due to higher restructuring charges and lower gross margin. Adjusted operating margin of 4.7% decreased by 700 basis points versus the prior quarter.

Management believes adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, 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.
