Georgetown Bancorp, Inc. Reports Continued Profitability for the
Three Months and Year Ended

December 31, 2012

GEORGETOWN, MASSACHUSETTS, January 31, 2013 —

Georgetown Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: GTWN) (the “Company”), holding company for Georgetown Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income for the three months ended December 31, 2012 of $416,000, or $.23 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $415,000, or $.22 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2011. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $948,000, or $.51 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $1.0 million, or $.53 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Robert E. Balletto, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “I am pleased with the progress made during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 in several areas. While we had a record level of mortgage banking income, driven by the low rate environment, we also continued to successfully expand the geographic footprint of our mortgage origination staff. We expect this expansion to mitigate the impact of the mortgage market’s eventual shift from a refinancing market to a purchase market. Our asset quality improved during the quarter as non-performing assets declined from 1.94% of total assets at September 30, 2012 to 1.59% at December 31, 2012. Despite the continued sluggish economic environment, we have been successful in generating $5.7 million in net commercial loan growth for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 and have a significant commercial loan pipeline. We remain focused on our strategic plan, which we believe will enhance long-term stockholder value.”
