On behalf of the entire company, I wish him well in his future endeavors.”<br /><br />Dick’s resignation coincided with the company’s first-quarter results, which continued on a downward slide. Total revenue decreased 26.3% to $25.9 million, from $35.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Comparable sales, including comparable store sales and direct-to-consumer sales, fell 24.7%, primarily driven by reduced website and mall traffic.<br /><br />In addition, catalog circulation for the quarter decreased 15.2%, compared to the prior year quarter predominantly due to a reduction in unprofitable circulation.<br /> <br />Gardner struck an upbeat note and said she was encouraged by the chain’s first quarter progress in what continues to be a challenging macro retail environment.<br /><br />“While our total revenues decreased 26% in the first quarter, our comparable store performance was down 21% and sequentially improved each month of the quarter,” said Gardner. “Our merchandise margin rates, inclusive of obsolescence, were rebuilt to the highest level we have seen in the last six quarters as we delivered merchandise margin dollars that were only down 13% on a comparable store basis.

His broad-based expertise includes control, treasury, planning and analysis, corporate development, investor relations, information technology, legal, risk management, compliance and human resource functions. This will help AMC Health enhance its financial operations to accommodate the company’s continued growth, which is being fueled by the escalating need for the company’s proven telehealth solutions in the emerging value-based healthcare delivery system.<br /><br />Mr. Hosp’s many accomplishments include directing more than $20 billion in various financing transactions, managing more than 25 merger and acquisition transactions and building several innovative financial organizations. He currently serves as a Director and Chair of the Audit Committee for the Trustwave Holdings, Inc. Board and was formerly on the boards of Bostwick Laboratories, Inc., Hexcel Corporation and the United Way of Westchester and Putnam Counties where he served as Chairman of the Board.<br /><br />The healthcare industry veteran comes to AMC Health after serving seven years as Executive Vice President, CFO and Chief Administrative Officer of HMS Holdings Corporation, a publicly traded leader in cost-containment solutions for government and private healthcare payers.

Attracting a CFO of Walter’s caliber and accomplishments demonstrates the strength of our business and financial position, and shows that AMC Health is poised for explosive growth over the next few years. We are delighted to welcome him to the team.”<br /><br />“As the transformation of the healthcare delivery system evolves, ACOs, health systems, hospitals, payers and other healthcare organizations are increasingly recognizing that AMC Health’s telehealth solutions can improve their clinical and financial outcomes by addressing traditional gaps in care, engaging patients and providing the monitoring, care and interventions needed to eliminate preventable emergency department visits and hospitalizations,” said Walter Hosp.<br /><br />He continued, “AMC Health is also a pioneer in re-inventing clinical trials by introducing e-visits and remote monitoring for costly and often inconvenient in-person site visits. By eliminating many of the obstacles that inhibit enrollment or cause patients to drop out of clinical studies, AMC Health can substantially improve patient recruitment and retention, safety and data quality while reducing costs and time to market. This is clearly a company on the move that believes in developing forward-looking applications. I look forward to working with the management team to take advantage of the vast array of growth opportunities.”<br /><br />Mr. Hosp received his master’s of business administration degree in finance from New York University (NYU) Graduate School of Business.
