News Release

--Company Reports Revisions to Previously Issued Preliminary Selected Financial Information Releases--

-- Schedules Investor Conference Call for 6:30 p.m. EST Today --

Corona, CA - May 14, 2007 - Hansen Natural Corporation (NASDAQ:HANS) today announced it has filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

The Company reported that unintentional accounting errors arising from certain stock option grants over the period January 1, 2001 through November 13, 2006 caused non-cash compensation expense, together with related employment taxes, to be understated by a cumulative amount of $1.0 million net of income taxes over a five and a half year period. The impact of these adjustments on net income was not material to the Company's historical consolidated financial statements for any previously reported period. The cumulative impact of these adjustments was recorded by the Company in its financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. The Company does not consider such adjustments to be material for such three or nine month periods.

As a result of today's filing, the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel has extended the time within which the Company may file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 to June 14, 2007. The Company believes it will be able to file its Form 10-K by this date. The Company has not filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, which was due on May 10, 2007, and anticipates receiving an additional NASDAQ Staff Determination letter in this regard. However, the Company believes it will file its Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2007 within a few weeks of filing its Form 10-K.

In connection with the transition of certain of the Company's distribution arrangements, the Company made termination payments to certain of its prior distributors, who have been replaced by newly appointed Anheuser-Busch distributors. The termination payments have been and will be expensed in full. The Company received from newly appointed Anheuser-Busch distributors non-refundable payments for the costs of terminating its prior distributors. After further consideration of applicable accounting guidance, such receipts have been and will be accounted for as deferred revenue, which will be recognized as revenue ratably over the anticipated 20 year life of the respective Anheuser-Busch distribution agreements.

In the Company's previously issued press releases containing preliminary selected financial information for the reporting periods for and since the third quarter 2006, receipts from newly appointed Anheuser-Busch distributors were included as a reduction in operating expenses in the relevant periods, i.e., as an offset against the termination payments made to the Company's terminated distributors. The impact of accounting for such receipts as deferred revenue, and not as a reduction in operating expenses, is reflected in the tables below. The table containing 'Preliminary Condensed Selected Financial Information' also identifies separately the professional fees associated with the review of historical stock option grants and stock option granting practices during the relevant periods.

The above accounting treatment for receipts from the newly appointed Anheuser-Busch distributors has not had, and will not have, any impact on the cash flows of the Company for any period, and the Company will continue to enjoy the unrestricted use of such cash receipts.

In the second quarter of 2006, the impact of these transition arrangements was not material.

The Company said that a substantial portion of the anticipated Anheuser- Busch distributor transition arrangements has been completed.

The Company will host an investor conference call Monday, May 14, 2007 at 3:30 p.m. (PST) and 6:30 p.m. (EST).
