Michael Hill International (ASX:MHJ) has announced its financial results for the full year to 30 June 2019 showing underlying EBIT for the period was down 13.7 per cent to $34.6 million from last year's $40.1 million.

Same store sales were down 3.3 per cent for the full year to $524.7 million.

The company opened ten new stores and closed eleven under-performing stores, along with five Emma & Roe stores, resulting in 306 stores at year end.
