Exhibit 99.1

CAPE BANCORP, INC. REPORTS

SECOND QUARTER 2012 RESULTS

Cape May Court House, New Jersey, July 25, 2012 Cape Bancorp, Inc. (“Cape Bancorp” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: “CBNJ”), the parent company of Cape Bank, announces its operating results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, Cape Bancorp reported net income of $1.0 million, or $.08 per common and fully diluted share, and $2.6 million, or $.21 per common and fully diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This compares to net income of $617,000, or $.05 per common and fully diluted share for the second quarter of 2011, and $8.9 million, or $.72 per common share and $.71 per fully diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The six months ended June 30, 2011 included the reversal of $7.7 million, or $0.62 per share, of the deferred tax valuation allowance.

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

“Great strides were made during the most recent quarter at Cape Bank. Credit quality metrics showed improvement with non-performing loans declining to 3.26% of total loans. More broadly, non-performing assets fell below 3% of total assets even as total assets declined. The delinquency ratio hit its lowest level since the inception of Cape Bank in January, 2008. Finally, OREO has benefitted from credits finally exiting foreclosure and we have worked to move these to sale promptly. So far in 2012 we have disposed of 11 properties in the amount of $4.2 million.

“We also took the opportunity to extinguish some borrowings with the FHLB of NY which will result in improved funding costs. This is a valuable development since there is continued pressure to reduce loan rates in today’s market. The net interest margin for the quarter was a respectable 3.73%.

“As credit problems continued to lessen in significance, progress was also being made in more traditional banking targets. Solid loan activity resulted in an increase in total loans and pipelines for both commercial and residential mortgages that project favorable levels of closings in the coming months. In addition, core deposits continued to grow, up $18 million from year-end and over $44 million from a year ago. This growth has come despite the fact that the bank has ended free checking.

“While troubled credits showed positive movement, they still had negative fallout during the quarter with a high level of expenses for both troubled loans and OREO. These expenses along with the significant prepayment penalties on the FHLB of NY borrowings generated headwinds for earnings. Despite this, net income for the quarter was $1.0 million, bringing year-to-date net income to $2.6 million.

“The seasonal businesses appear to be enjoying a solid summer and our efforts to expand our lending footprint in Burlington and Camden counties have proven to be effective. The positive momentum begun in late 2011 appears to be continuing while improving the performance and prospects for Cape Bank.”

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 June 30, 2012 totaled $1.048 billion, a decrease of $22.8 million from the December 31, 2011 level of $1.071 billion.

Total net loans increased $5.2 million to $721.5 million at June 30, 2012, from $716.3 million at December 31, 2011. This change is the result of an increase in commercial loan activity within all three counties that comprise our market area, and resulted in an increase of $11.6 million. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in mortgage loans of $5.0 million resulting from early pay-offs and the Bank selling approximately 40% of originations made during the six month period in an effort to manage interest rate risk. Consumer loans declined $1.5 million. The allowance for loan losses totaled 1.73% of gross loans and 52.92% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2012.

At June 30, 2012, the Company had $23.9 million in non-performing loans or 3.26% of total gross loans, a decrease from 3.77% of total gross loans at December 31, 2011, and 5.99% at June 30, 2011. Included in non-performing loans are troubled debt restructurings totaling $835,000 at June 30, 2012 and $405,000 at December 31, 2011, respectively.

Other real estate owned decreased $1.6 million from $8.4 million at December 31, 2011 to $6.8 million at June 30, 2012, and consisted at June 30, 2012 of eleven commercial properties and thirty-five residential properties (including twenty-seven building lots). During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company added two commercial properties and twenty-seven residential properties (building lots) to OREO with aggregate carrying values of $341,000 and $1.9 million, respectively. In addition, five commercial OREO properties and one residential OREO property with aggregate carrying values totaling $3.1 million were sold during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 with recognized net losses of $337,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company sold three residential OREO properties and eight commercial OREO properties with aggregate carrying values totaling $4.6 million with recognized net losses totaling $300,000.

At June 30, 2012, Cape Bancorp’s core deposits totaled $498.5 million which represented an increase of $18.0 million from December 31, 2011. Certificates of deposit totaled $286.1 million, a decline of $3.0 million from December 31, 2011. At June 30, 2012, deposits totaled $789.9 million compared to $774.4 million at December 31, 2011.

Cape Bancorp’s total equity increased to $148.2 million at June 30, 2012 from $145.7 million at December 31, 2011, an increase of $2.5 million, or 1.74%. Tangible equity to tangible assets increased to 12.23% at June 30, 2012 compared to 11.72% at December 31, 2011. Cape Bank’s regulatory capital ratios for Tier I Leverage Ratio, Tier I Risk-Based Capital and Total Risk-Based Capital are 9.71%, 13.13% and 14.39%, respectively, all of which exceed well capitalized status.
