Silverlake Axis profit fell 84% to $21.59m in 1H2018

A 3% decline in revenue dragged its growth.

Silverlake Axis Ltd (SAL) reported that its profit for the period attributable to owners of the company decreased by 84% YoY, from $139.05m in 1H2017 to $21.59m in 1H2018.

Its revenue also declined by 3% YoY to $82.66m in 1H2018, from $85.31m in the same period of the previous year.

This was caused by lower contributions from project related revenue segments like software licensing (-39% YoY to $3.97m), software and hardware products sales (-31% YoY to $0.43m), software project services (-8% YoY to $5.3m), and credits and cards processing (-3% YoY to $3.07m).

Declines in said revenue segments were offset by gains in maintenance and enhancement services (+1% YoY to $64.87m), and insurance processing (+5% YoY to $5.03m).

Further, administrative expenses fell down by 23% YoY to $16.79m in 1H2018, which was due to lower unrealised and realised foreign currency exchange loss from traslation of bank balances, loans and receivables denominated in foreign currencies, SAL said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
