CAPE BANCORP, INC. REPORTS

FOURTH QUARTER and ANNUAL 2012 RESULTS

Cape May Court House, New Jersey, February 1, 2013 Cape Bancorp, Inc. (“Cape Bancorp” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: “CBNJ”), the parent company of Cape Bank, announces its operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, Cape Bancorp reported net income of $1.0 million, or $.08 per common and fully diluted share, and $5.1 million, or $.41 per common and fully diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2012. This compares to a net loss of $2.0 million, or $.16 per common and fully diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2011, and net income of $8.0 million, or $.64 per common and fully diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2011. Included in the full year operating results for 2011 were tax benefits totaling $12.2 million representing the reversal of a portion of the deferred tax valuation allowance.

On November 28, 2012, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per common share to shareholders of record as of the close of business December 12, 2012. The dividend was paid on December 26, 2012.

Michael D. Devlin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cape Bancorp and Cape Bank, provided the following statement:

“In 2012, Cape Bank was able to make advancements in several key areas. Both earnings and tangible capital grew on improving performance. Balance sheet restructuring improved NIM through a recasting of FHLB advances. Most importantly, management continued to reduce troubled credits ending the year with non-performing loans at 2.51% of total gross loans—down from 3.77% the previous year. The Adversely Classified Assets ratio dropped to 30%, the best showing in three years.

“Both the performance and the capital levels provided the confidence to reconsider the Bank’s capital plans. As a result, the Board acknowledged the patience of our shareholders by declaring a $0.05 dividend. With the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio ending the year at 12.62%, the Board feels that additional strategies should be reviewed in 2013.”

The following are significant factors which contributed to the operating results of the comparative quarters and year-to-date:

Cape Bancorp’s total assets at December 31, 2012 totaled $1.041 billion, a decrease of $29.8 million from the December 31, 2011 level of $1.071 million.

Total net loans decreased $1.1 million to $715.2 million at December 31, 2012, from $716.3 million at December 31, 2011. An increase in commercial loans was more than offset by decreases in mortgage and consumer loans. Mortgage loans decreased $16.5 million as a result of early pay-offs and the Bank selling approximately 54% of originations made during the year in an effort to manage interest rate risk. An increase in commercial loan activity within our market resulted in growth of $14.5 million. Consumer loans declined $1.7 million. The allowance for loan losses totaled $10.1 million, or 1.40% of gross loans and 55.53% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2012. The Company’s Adversely Classified Asset ratio at December 31, 2012 was 30%, a significant improvement from 57% at December 31, 2011.

At December 31, 2012, the Company had $18.2 million in non-performing loans, or 2.51% of total gross loans, a significant decrease from 3.77% of total gross loans at December 31, 2011. Included in non-performing loans are troubled debt restructurings totaling $3.5 million at December 31, 2012 and $405,000 at December 31, 2011, respectively.

Other real estate owned (OREO) decreased $1.1 million from $8.3 million at December 31, 2011 to $7.2 million at December 31, 2012, and consisted at December 31, 2012 of thirteen commercial properties and thirty-five residential properties (including twenty-seven building lots). During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Company added two commercial properties and four residential properties to OREO with aggregate carrying values of $304,000 and $458,000, respectively. Three commercial OREO properties and four residential OREO properties with aggregate carrying values totaling $868,000 were sold during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 with recognized net losses of $3,000. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company sold thirteen residential OREO properties and fourteen commercial OREO properties with aggregate carrying values totaling $10.2 million with recognized net losses totaling $260,000. Currently, the Company has agreements of sale for eleven OREO properties with an aggregate carrying value totaling $3.1 million, all of which are expected to close in the first quarter 2013.

At December 31, 2012, Cape Bancorp’s core deposits totaled $542.4 million which represented an increase of $61.9 million from the December 31, 2011 level of $480.5 million. Non-interest bearing deposits increased $11.7 million, NOW and money market accounts increased $42.0 million, and savings accounts increased $8.2 million. Certificates of deposit totaled $238.6 million, a decline of $50.5 million from December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2012, deposits totaled $784.6 million compared to $774.4 million at December 31, 2011, an increase of $10.2 million.
