Silverlake Axis struggles for big-money deals as banks' woes mount

Banks account for 80% of its business.

Large contracts might be few and far between for Silverlake Axis for the current financial year.

"[The] challenging outlook for banks implies that big licensing contracts may be difficult in FY16," DBS said in a report.

DBS noted that banks account for 80% of Silverlake's core banking software business, while the rest come from insurance, payment, retail and logistics.

DBS expects Silverlake to secure $50m (RM150m) worth of new orders for FY16, comparable to its order wins in FY15. However, DBS expects lower topline growth on back of declining gross margins.

“With relatively uncertain economic conditions in China and the region, we could see delays in upgrades and new projects. Relatively high margins may be difficult to maintain in the long term,” DBS said.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
