HAWKINS, INC. REPORTS

FISCAL 2006 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Minneapolis, MN, August 3, 2005 – Hawkins, Inc.  (Nasdaq:  HWKN) today announced sales of $35.9 million for its first quarter ended June 30, 2005, an increase of 19.7% over the $30.0 million in sales for last year’s first quarter. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 was $2.7 million, or $0.27 per share, versus net income of $2.9 million, or $0.29 per share, for the same period of fiscal 2005.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, John R. Hawkins, commented, “The actions we have taken to build our businesses, expand and enhance our product lines and focus on customer service are evidenced in this quarter’s results. Sales in all areas of Hawkins’ business grew. Industrial segment sales rose 26.4%, Water Treatment segment sales increased 13.8% and Pharmaceutical segment sales improved 4.8%. Increased selling prices for caustic soda, expanded product lines offering complementary capabilities and a growing customer base drove the improvements.”

Mr. Hawkins noted that gross margin, as percentage of sales, however was negatively impacted by the rising cost of caustic soda and competitive pressures, equaling 27.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to 28.7% a year ago.

Selling, general and administrative expenses continued to rise due to the higher cost of doing business as a public company in today’s environment and the ongoing implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning system. Additionally, increases in the Industrial segment sales force and attorneys fees related to the Company’s lawsuit against the former principals of Universal Chemicals contributed to the increase in expenses.

“Our focus on maintaining our financial strength is evident as we ended the first quarter of fiscal 2006 with approximately $24.1 million in cash and marketable securities and no debt,” Hawkins stated. “The cornerstone of Hawkins’ success is our people and their dedication to maximizing

shareholder return. We have built a strong foundation for growth and are better positioned than ever to capitalize on opportunities in the marketplace.”
