Myer Holdings Limited (ASX:MYR) today announced its financial results for the full year to July 29 2017, reporting their net profit after tax (NPAT) fell 2.2 per cent on FY16 to $67.9 million.

In more bad news for Myer, its total sales fell over the 2017 financial year, by 1.4 per cent on FY16 to $3.2 billion.

Its earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) decreased 3.3 per cent on the prior year, to $106.6 million.
