Operator

Good afternoon. My name is Alicia, and I'll be your conference operator today. At this time, I'd like to welcome everyone to Rogers Corporation's First Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call.

I'll now turn the call over to your host, Mr. Steve Haymore, Director of Investor Relations. Mr. Haymore, you may begin.

Steve Haymore

Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the Rogers Corporation first quarter 2024 earnings conference call. The slides for today's call can be found on the Investor section of our website, along with the news release that was issued earlier today.

Please turn to Slide 2. Before we begin, I would 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 3. 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. A reconciliation of those non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in the slide deck for today's call, which are available on our Investor Relations website.

Turning to Slide 4, with me today is Colin Gouveia, President and Chief Executive Officer; Ram Mayampurath, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and Griffin Gappert, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer.

I will now turn the call over to Colin.

Colin Gouveia

Thanks, Steve. Good afternoon to everyone and thank you for joining us today. I will begin with the key messages for the quarter and outlook on Slide 5. Overall, we are encouraged by the improving end market demand that we saw in the first quarter. Sales were nearing the high-end of our guidance expectations, which led to adjusted EPS above the midpoint of the range.
