Sept 13 (Reuters) - Sears Holdings Corp reported a 25.6 percent fall in second-quarter sales on Thursday, as the company shut more stores to combat declining foot traffic in brick-and-mortar outlets.
The parent company of the Sears department stores and Kmart discount chain said net loss attributable to shareholders widened to $508 million, or $4.68 per share, in the second quarter ended Aug. 4 from $250 million, or $2.33 per share, a year earlier.
Total revenue fell to $3.18 billion from $4.28 billion. (Reporting by Soundarya J and Nivedita Balu in Bengaluru; Editing by Shailesh Kuber)
