Rogers Corporation reported a net loss of $61.8 million for fiscal year 2025, a substantial reversal from a $26.1 million net income in 2024. This significant downturn was primarily driven by $97.1 million in restructuring and impairment charges. Key charges include a full $67.3 million goodwill impairment and $4.5 million indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment related to its curamik reporting unit within the Advanced Electronics Solutions (AES) segment. Additionally, the company incurred $23.4 million in restructuring charges due to manufacturing footprint consolidation, global workforce reductions, and an executive leadership transition. Net sales also saw a slight decrease of 2.3% year-over-year, and gross margin contracted by 170 basis points. This comprehensive annual report provides a detailed full-year picture following a recent 8-K filing (2026-02-17) that highlighted strong Q4 2025 results, suggesting the full-year challenges were more extensive than a quarterly snapshot might indicate. The filing also comes after activist investor Starboard Value LP significantly reduced its stake in January (2026-01-24), adding to negative sentiment.
