Responsible Production
Updated Climate Report. In September 2023, FCX published its annual climate report, available on FCX's website at fcx.com/sustainability. The climate report details FCX's ongoing progress to advance its climate strategy focused on reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, enhancing its resilience to climate risks and contributing responsibly produced copper to the global economy. FCX has four 2030 GHG emissions reduction targets that collectively cover nearly 100% of its Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions.
Consolidated Sales Volumes
•Third-quarter 2023 copper sales of 1.1 billion pounds were 8% higher than the July 2023 estimate of 1.03 billion pounds and 5% higher than third-quarter 2022 sales of 1.06 billion pounds. The favorable variance to the prior estimate primarily reflects the timing of shipments and higher mining rates.
•Third-quarter 2023 gold sales of 399 thousand ounces were 5% lower than the July 2023 estimate of 420 thousand ounces and 17% lower than the third-quarter 2022 sales of 480 thousand ounces. The variances primarily reflect the timing of shipments of anode slimes associated with a change in Indonesia administrative requirements for products that were previously being exported by PT Smelting. At September 30, 2023, approximately 75 thousand ounces of gold were included in inventory and available for sale pending approval of PT-FI's export license for anode slimes.
•Third-quarter 2023 molybdenum sales of 20 million pounds approximated the July 2023 estimate and were higher than third-quarter 2022 sales of 17 million pounds, primarily reflecting the timing of shipments in third-quarter 2022.
Consolidated sales volumes for the year 2023 are expected to approximate 4.06 billion pounds of copper, 1.74 million ounces of gold and 80 million pounds of molybdenum, including 1.1 billion pounds of copper, 580 thousand ounces of gold and 20 million pounds of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2023. Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance, the resumption of anode slime exports at PT-FI, weather-related conditions, timing of shipments and other factors detailed in the "Cautionary Statement" below.

Consolidated Unit Net Cash Costs
Third-quarter 2023 consolidated average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for FCX's copper mines of $1.73 per pound of copper were higher than the July 2023 estimate of $1.61 per pound, primarily reflecting disputed export duties of $0.13 per pound of copper at PT-FI, which were not reflected in the July 2023 estimate.
Third-quarter 2023 consolidated average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) of $1.73 per pound were slightly lower than third-quarter 2022 average unit net cash costs of $1.75 per pound, primarily reflecting higher copper sales volumes. Refer to "Mining Operations" below for further discussion.
Assuming average prices of $1,900 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2023 and achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, consolidated unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for FCX's copper mines are expected to average $1.63 per pound of copper for the year 2023 (including $1.58 per pound of copper in fourth-quarter 2023). Estimated consolidated unit net cash costs for the year 2023 include assessment of a 7.5% export duty at PT-FI during the second half of 2023, which continues to be discussed with the Indonesia government. Quarterly unit net cash costs vary with fluctuations in sales volumes and realized prices, primarily for gold and molybdenum. The impact of price changes during fourth-quarter 2023 on consolidated unit net cash costs for the year 2023 would approximate $0.02 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $0.01 per pound of copper for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.
MINING OPERATIONS
Leaching Innovation Initiatives. FCX is advancing a series of initiatives across its North America and South America operations to incorporate new applications, technologies and data analytics to its leaching processes. FCX believes these leach innovation initiatives provide opportunities to produce incremental copper from its large existing leach stockpiles. Initial results support the potential for incremental low-cost additions to FCX's production and reserve profile and FCX is targeting an annual run rate of approximately 200 million pounds of copper per year through these initiatives by the end of 2023. In third-quarter 2023, incremental copper production from these initiatives totaled 46 million pounds (approximately 90% of the targeted annual run rate). FCX is pursuing new technology applications that have the potential for significant increases in recoverable metal beyond the initial target.
North America Copper Mines. FCX operates seven open-pit copper mines in North America - Morenci, Bagdad, Safford (including Lone Star), Sierrita and Miami in Arizona, and Chino and Tyrone in New Mexico. In addition to copper, certain of these mines produce molybdenum concentrate, gold and silver. All of the North America mining operations are wholly owned, except for Morenci. FCX records its 72% undivided joint venture interest in Morenci using the proportionate consolidation method.
Operating and Development Activities. FCX has substantial reserves and future opportunities in the U.S., primarily associated with existing mining operations.
FCX is planning an expansion to double the concentrator capacity of the Bagdad operation in northwest Arizona and expects to complete a feasibility study in fourth-quarter 2023. In parallel, FCX is advancing activities for expanded tailings infrastructure projects and is procuring an autonomous haul truck fleet to support Bagdad's long-range plans. The timing of Bagdad's future expansion will be dependent on market conditions, labor, supply chain and capital cost considerations and other economic factors.
At Safford/Lone Star, production from oxide ores is approaching 300 million pounds of copper per year, which reflects expansion of the initial design capacity of 200 million pounds of copper per year. FCX has conducted significant exploration drilling in the area in recent years. The positive drilling results indicate opportunities to expand production to include sulfide ores in the future. FCX is advancing metallurgical testing and mine development planning for a potential significant long-term investment for development of identified large sulfide resources.

b.For a reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in FCX's consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, "Product Revenues and Production Costs," beginning on page XIV.
FCX's consolidated copper sales volumes from North America of 372 million pounds in third-quarter 2023 were higher than third-quarter 2022 copper sales volumes of 361 million, primarily reflecting the timing of shipments. North America copper sales are estimated to approximate 1.4 billion pounds for the year 2023.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines of $2.70 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2023 were higher than third-quarter 2022 unit net cash costs of $2.56 per pound, primarily reflecting increased costs of labor (including contract labor), maintenance and supplies, partly offset by higher molybdenum by-product credits and lower energy costs.
Assuming an average price of $20.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2023 and achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines are expected to approximate $2.62 per pound of copper for the year 2023. North America's average unit net cash costs for the year 2023 would change by approximately $0.01 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2023.
South America Mining. FCX operates two copper mines in South America - Cerro Verde in Peru (in which FCX owns a 53.56% interest) and El Abra in Chile (in which FCX owns a 51% interest). These operations are consolidated in FCX's financial statements. In addition to copper, the Cerro Verde mine produces molybdenum concentrate and silver.
Operating and Development Activities. During third-quarter 2023, Cerro Verde processed an average of 431,300 metric tons of ore per day through its concentrators, a new quarterly record.
During third-quarter 2023, Cerro Verde entered into a new power purchase agreement that is expected to transition its electric power to fully renewable energy sources in 2026.
At the El Abra operations in Chile, FCX has identified a large sulfide resource that would support a potential major mill project similar to the large-scale concentrator at Cerro Verde. Technical and economic studies continue to be evaluated to determine the optimal scope and timing for the sulfide project. Capital cost requirements are being updated to reflect current market conditions. FCX is advancing plans to invest in water infrastructure to provide options to extend existing operations, while continuing to monitor Chile's regulatory and fiscal matters, as well as trends in capital costs for similar projects.

b.For a reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in FCX's consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, "Product Revenues and Production Costs," beginning on page XIV.
FCX's consolidated copper sales volumes from South America of 307 million pounds in third-quarter 2023 were higher than third-quarter 2022 copper sales volumes of 293 million pounds, primarily reflecting increased milling rates and ore grades at Cerro Verde. Copper sales from South America mining are expected to approximate 1.2 billion pounds for the year 2023.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America mining of $2.35 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2023 were lower than third-quarter 2022 unit net cash costs of $2.58 per pound, primarily reflecting higher molybdenum by-product credits, partly offset by higher treatment charges.
Assuming an average price of $20.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2023 and achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America mining are expected to approximate $2.34 per pound of copper for the year 2023.
Indonesia Mining. PT-FI operates one of the world’s largest copper and gold mines at the Grasberg minerals district in Central Papua, Indonesia. PT-FI produces copper concentrate that contains significant quantities of gold and silver. FCX has a 48.76% ownership interest in PT-FI and manages its mining operations. PT-FI's results are consolidated in FCX's financial statements. Under the terms of agreements entered into in 2018, FCX’s economic interest in PT-FI is 48.76% and prior to January 1, 2023, it approximated 81%.
Regulatory Matters. Over the past several years, the Indonesia government has enacted various laws and regulations to promote downstream processing of various products, including copper concentrates. In 2018, PT-FI agreed to expand its domestic smelting and refining capacity to process all of its copper concentrates in Indonesia and is advancing the construction of the Manyar smelter and precious metals refinery (PMR) (collectively, the Indonesia smelter projects) and expanding capacity at PT Smelting (refer to "Indonesia Smelter" below).
On July 24, 2023, PT-FI was granted an export license for copper concentrates through May 2024 for 1.7 million metric tons of copper concentrate. PT-FI is currently working with the Indonesia government to update its export license for anode slimes tolled through PT Smelting, which were previously being exported by PT Smelting. PT-FI is working with the Indonesia government to obtain approvals to continue exports of copper concentrates and anode slimes until the Manyar smelter and PMR are fully commissioned and reach designed operating conditions.
In July 2023, the Ministry of Finance issued a revised regulation on duties for various exported products, including copper concentrates. Under the revised regulation PT-FI is being assessed export duties for copper concentrates at 7.5%. PT-FI continues to discuss with the Indonesia government the applicability of the revised
| ||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||
6 | ||||||||||||||
regulation because of inconsistencies with PT-FI's special mining license (IUPK), which provides that no export duties would be assessed after smelter development progress exceeded 50%. During third-quarter 2023, PT-FI incurred $147 million in export duties, which continue to be discussed with the Indonesia government.
Mining Rights. PT-FI and the Indonesia government continue to engage in discussions regarding the extension of PT-FI's mining rights under its IUPK beyond 2041. An extension beyond 2041 would enable continuity of large-scale operations for the benefit of all stakeholders and provide growth options through additional resource development opportunities in the highly attractive Grasberg minerals district.
Operating and Development Activities. Over a multi-year investment period, PT-FI has successfully commissioned three large-scale block cave mines in the Grasberg minerals district (Grasberg Block Cave, Deep Mill Level Zone and Big Gossan), providing annual production volumes of approximately 1.6 billion pounds of copper and 1.6 million ounces of gold. Milling rates from these underground mines averaged 206,600 metric tons of ore per day in third-quarter 2023, an approximate 10% increase from 188,700 metric tons of ore per day in third-quarter 2022. During third-quarter 2023, PT-FI successfully commissioned a new crusher to support increased mining rates in the Grasberg Block Cave ore body.
PT-FI's ongoing project to install additional milling facilities is expected to be complete in early 2024. The project will increase milling capacity to approximately 240,000 metric tons of ore per day to provide sustained large scale production volumes. PT-FI is also advancing a mill recovery project with the installation of a new copper cleaner circuit that is expected to be completed in the second half of 2024 and to provide incremental metal production of approximately 60 million pounds of copper and 40 thousand ounces of gold per year.
PT-FI is advancing plans to transition its existing energy source from coal to liquified natural gas, which is expected to meaningfully reduce PT-FI's Scope 1 GHG emissions at the Grasberg minerals district. PT-FI is planning investments in a new gas-fired combined cycle facility at Grasberg with a targeted start date in 2027. Capital expenditures for the new facilities, to be incurred over the next three to four years, approximate $1 billion representing an incremental cost of $0.4 billion compared to previously planned investments to refurbish the existing coal units.
Kucing Liar. Long-term mine development activities are ongoing for PT-FI's Kucing Liar deposit in the Grasberg minerals district, which is expected to produce over 6 billion pounds of copper and 6 million ounces of gold between 2028 and the end of 2041. Pre-production development activities commenced in 2022 and are expected to continue over an approximate 10-year timeframe. Capital investments are estimated to average approximately $400 million per year over this period. At full operating rates of approximately 90,000 metric tons of ore per day, annual production from Kucing Liar is expected to approximate 550 million pounds of copper and 560 thousand ounces of gold, providing PT-FI with sustained long-term, large-scale and low-cost production. Kucing Liar will benefit from substantial shared infrastructure and PT-FI's experience and long-term success in block-cave mining.
Indonesia Smelter. In connection with PT-FI’s 2018 agreement with the Indonesia government to secure the extension of its long-term mining rights, PT-FI agreed to expand its domestic smelting and refining capacity to process all of its copper concentrates in Indonesia. PT-FI is actively engaged in the following projects for additional domestic smelting capacity:
•Construction of the Manyar smelter in Gresik, Indonesia with a capacity to process approximately 1.7 million metric tons of copper concentrate per year. Construction progress currently approximates 84% complete. Construction of the smelter has an estimated cost of $3.0 billion, including $2.8 billion for a construction contract (excluding capitalized interest, owner’s costs and commissioning) and $0.2 billion for investment in a desalinization plant. Construction is expected to be complete by mid-2024 followed by commissioning of the facilities and a ramp-up schedule through year-end 2024.
•Expansion of PT Smelting's capacity by 30% to 1.3 million metric tons of copper concentrate per year, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2023. PT-FI is funding the cost of the expansion, estimated to approximate $250 million, with a loan that will convert to equity and increase PT-FI’s ownership in PT Smelting to a majority ownership interest, which is expected to occur in 2024.
•The PMR is being constructed to process gold and silver from the Manyar smelter and PT Smelting. Construction is in progress with commissioning expected during 2024 at an estimated cost of $575 million, which incorporates recent revisions to scope.
Capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects totaled $1.2 billion for the first nine months of 2023, and are expected to approximate $1.6 billion for the year 2023. Capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter

a.For a reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in FCX's consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, "Product Revenues and Production Costs," beginning on page XIV.
b.Export duties were eliminated effective March 29, 2023, upon verification that construction progress of the Manyar smelter exceeded 50%. However, as noted in "Regulatory Matters" above, beginning in July 2023, PT-FI is being assessed export duties under a revised regulation, which it is continuing to discuss with the Indonesia government.
PT-FI's consolidated copper sales volumes of 430 million pounds in third-quarter 2023 were higher than third-quarter 2022 copper sales volumes of 406 million pounds, primarily reflecting higher mining rates and ore grades.
PT-FI's consolidated gold sales volumes of 395 thousand ounces in third-quarter 2023 were lower than third-quarter 2022 gold sales volumes of 476 thousand ounces, primarily reflecting timing of shipments of anode slimes associated with a change in administrative requirements for products that were previously being exported by PT Smelting. At September 30, 2023, approximately 75 thousand ounces of gold in anode slimes were included in inventory and available for sale pending approval of PT-FI's export license for anode slimes.
Consolidated sales volumes from PT-FI are expected to approximate 1.5 billion pounds of copper and 1.7 million ounces of gold for the year 2023, net of a deferral of approximately 100 million pounds of copper and 180 thousand ounces of gold from mine production under tolling arrangements to be processed and sold as refined metal in future periods. Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance, the resumption of anode slime exports, weather-related conditions and other factors detailed in the "Cautionary Statement" below.
PT-FI's unit net cash costs (net of gold, silver and other by-product credits) of $0.44 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2023 approximated unit net cash costs in third-quarter 2022, primarily reflecting higher copper sales volumes, offset by lower gold, silver and other by-product credits and higher export duties.
Assuming an average gold price of $1,900 per ounce in fourth-quarter 2023 and achievement of current sales volumes and cost estimates, unit net cash costs (including gold, silver and other by-product credits) for PT-FI are expected to approximate $0.15 per pound of copper for the year 2023. PT-FI's estimated unit net cash costs for the year 2023 include assessment of a 7.5% export duty during the second half of 2023, which continues to be discussed with the Indonesia government. PT-FI's average unit net cash costs for the year 2023 would change by approximately $0.05 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold in fourth-quarter 2023.

Molybdenum Mines. FCX operates two wholly owned molybdenum mines in Colorado - the Climax open-pit mine and the Henderson underground mine. The Climax and Henderson mines produce high-purity, chemical-grade molybdenum concentrate, which is typically further processed into value-added molybdenum chemical products. The majority of the molybdenum concentrate produced at the Climax and Henderson mines and at FCX's North America and South America copper mines is processed at FCX's conversion facilities.
Operating and Development Activities. Production from the Molybdenum mines totaled 7 million pounds of molybdenum in third-quarter 2023, slightly below third-quarter 2022 production of 8 million pounds of molybdenum. FCX's consolidated molybdenum sales and average realized prices include sales of molybdenum produced at the Molybdenum mines and at FCX's North America and South America copper mines, which are presented on page 3.
Average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines of $18.07 per pound of molybdenum in third-quarter 2023 were higher than average unit net cash costs of $12.10 per pound in third-quarter 2022, primarily reflecting lower production volumes associated with ore types mined during the quarter and higher contract labor costs. Based on current sales volume and cost estimates, average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines are expected to approximate $14.47 per pound of molybdenum for the year 2023.
For a reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in FCX's consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, "Product Revenues and Production Costs," beginning on page XIV.
LIQUIDITY, CASH FLOWS, CASH AND DEBT
Liquidity. At September 30, 2023, FCX had $5.7 billion in consolidated cash and cash equivalents ($6.25 billion including current restricted cash and cash equivalents associated with a portion of PT-FI's export proceeds required to be temporarily deposited in Indonesia banks) and $3.0 billion of availability under its revolving credit facility. In addition, PT-FI and Cerro Verde have $1.3 billion and $350 million, respectively, of availability under their respective revolving credit facilities.
At September 30, 2023, FCX had $0.7 billion in current restricted cash and cash equivalents, which includes (i) $0.5 billion in PT-FI's export proceeds temporarily deposited in Indonesia banks in accordance with a regulation issued by the Indonesia government that became effective August 1, 2023, requiring 30% of export proceeds to be temporarily deposited into Indonesia banks for a period of 90 days before withdrawal, and (ii) $145 million in assurance bonds to support PT-FI’s commitment for smelter development in Indonesia.
Operating Cash Flows. FCX generated operating cash flows of $1.2 billion (net of $0.5 billion of working capital and other uses) in third-quarter 2023 and $4.0 billion (net of $0.7 billion of working capital and other uses) for the first nine months of 2023. Third-quarter 2023 working capital uses included increases in (i) accounts receivable primarily related to the timing of collections and higher PT-FI sales volumes and (ii) inventories primarily related to the timing of shipments of anode slimes at PT-FI.
Assuming average prices of $3.60 per pound of copper, $1,900 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2023 and achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, FCX's consolidated operating cash flows are estimated to approximate $5.4 billion (net of $0.5 billion of working capital and other uses) for the year 2023. The impact of price changes during fourth-quarter 2023 on operating cash flows for the year 2023 would approximate $115 million for each $0.10 per pound change in the average price of copper, $55 million for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $15 million for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures totaled $1.2 billion in third-quarter 2023 (including $0.4 billion for major mining projects and $0.4 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects) and $3.5 billion for the first nine months of 2023 (including $1.2 billion for major mining projects and $1.2 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects).
Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $4.8 billion for the year 2023 (including $1.9 billion for major mining projects and $1.6 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects). Projected capital expenditures for major mining projects include $1.3 billion for planned projects primarily associated with underground mine development in the Grasberg minerals district and supporting mill and power capital costs and $0.6 billion for discretionary growth projects. Capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects are being funded with the proceeds received from PT-FI's senior notes and availability under PT-FI's revolving credit facility.

At September 30, 2023, there were no borrowings and $7 million in letters of credit issued under FCX's $3.0 billion revolving credit facility. FCX has $0.7 billion in scheduled senior note maturities through 2026 and an average remaining duration of its total debt of approximately 10 years.
Beginning in 2022 and through October 18, 2023, FCX purchased $1.3 billion aggregate principal amount of its senior notes in open-market transactions for a total cost of $1.2 billion, including $103 million aggregate principal amount in third-quarter 2023 (which resulted in a $5 million gain on early extinguishment of debt in third-quarter 2023).
FINANCIAL POLICY
FCX's financial policy is aligned with its strategic objectives of maintaining a strong balance sheet, providing cash returns to shareholders and advancing opportunities for future growth. The policy includes a base dividend and a performance-based payout framework, whereby up to 50% of available cash flows generated after planned capital spending and distributions to noncontrolling interests would be allocated to shareholder returns and the balance to debt reduction and investments in value enhancing growth projects, subject to FCX maintaining its net debt at a level not to exceed the net debt target of $3.0 billion to $4.0 billion (excluding net project debt for additional smelting capacity in Indonesia). The Board of Directors (Board) will review the structure of the performance-based payout framework at least annually.
At September 30, 2023, FCX's net debt, excluding net debt for the Indonesia smelter projects, totaled $0.8 billion (which was net of $0.5 billion of current restricted cash associated with PT-FI's export proceeds). Refer to the supplemental schedule, "Net Debt," on page IX.
On September 20, 2023, FCX's Board declared cash dividends totaling $0.15 per share on its common stock (including a $0.075 per share quarterly base cash dividend and a $0.075 per share quarterly variable, performance-based cash dividend), which will be paid on November 1, 2023, to shareholders of record as of October 13, 2023. The declaration and payment of dividends (base or variable) is at the discretion of the Board and

a.Includes adjustments to provisionally priced concentrate and cathode sales. For a summary of adjustments to provisionally priced copper sales, refer to the supplemental schedule, "Derivative Instruments," beginning on page IX.
b.FCX is engaged in various studies associated with potential future expansion projects primarily at its mining operations. Production and delivery costs include charges for these feasibility and optimization studies totaling $48 million in third-quarter 2023, $34 million in third-quarter 2022, $149 million for the first nine months of 2023 and $84 million for the first nine months of 2022.
c.Consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) totaled $165 million in third-quarter 2023 and $182 million in third-quarter 2022, $606 million for the first nine months of 2023 and $524 million for the first nine months of 2022. The decrease in consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) in the third quarter of 2023, compared to the third quarter of 2022, is primarily a result of lower average outstanding debt in third-quarter 2023. The increase in consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) for the first nine months of 2023, compared to the first nine months of 2022, is primarily related to interest associated with Peruvian Supreme Court rulings that are being contested by Cerro Verde (refer to the supplemental schedule, "Adjusted Net Income," on page VII).
d.For a summary of FCX's income taxes, refer to the supplemental schedule, "Income Taxes," on page VIII.
e.Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is primarily associated with PT-FI, Cerro Verde and El Abra. For further discussion, refer to the supplemental schedule, “Noncontrolling Interests,” on page X.

b.In addition to FCX's North America mining operations, the U.S. jurisdiction reflects corporate-level expenses, which include interest expense associated with senior notes, general and administrative expenses, and environmental obligations and shutdown costs.
c.Includes valuation allowance release on prior year unbenefited net operating losses. See below for discussion of the provisions of the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
d.The third quarter and first nine months of 2022 include a tax credit of $31 million ($16 million net of noncontrolling interest) primarily associated with completion of Cerro Verde's 2016 tax audit.
e.In accordance with applicable accounting rules, FCX adjusts its interim provision for income taxes equal to its consolidated tax rate.
f.Includes net charges associated with contested tax rulings issued by the Peruvian Supreme Court totaling $142 million ($73 million net of noncontrolling interests) for the first nine months of 2023. Refer to the supplemental schedule, "Adjusted Net Income," on page VII.
The provisions of the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the Act) became applicable to FCX on January 1, 2023. The Act includes, among other provisions, a new Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) of 15% on the adjusted financial statement income (AFSI) of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1.0 billion over a three-year period. As limited guidance related to how the CAMT provisions of the Act should be applied or otherwise administered has been released by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the Treasury), uncertainty remains regarding the application of the CAMT. FCX has made interpretations of certain provisions of the Act, and based on these interpretations, determined that the provisions of the Act did not impact FCX’s financial results for the first nine months of 2023. Future guidance released by the Treasury may differ from FCX’s interpretations, which could be material and may further limit FCX's ability to realize future benefits from its U.S. net operating losses.
Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and average prices of $3.60 per pound for copper, $1,900 per ounce for gold and $20.00 per pound for molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2023, FCX estimates its consolidated effective tax rate for the year 2023 would approximate 38% (which would result in a 44% effective tax rate in fourth-quarter 2023). Changes in projected sales volumes and average prices during fourth-quarter 2023 would incur tax impacts at estimated effective rates of 40% for Peru, 36% for Indonesia and 0% for the U.S., which excludes any impact from the Act. FCX’s projected estimated effective tax rate of 0% for the U.S. for the year 2023 may be adjusted as additional guidance is released by the Treasury on key provisions of the Act, including guidance on the CAMT.

NET DEBT
FCX believes that net debt provides investors with information related to the performance-based payout framework in FCX’s financial policy, which requires FCX to maintain its net debt at a level not to exceed the net debt target of $3 billion to $4 billion (excluding net project debt for additional smelting capacity in Indonesia). FCX defines net debt as consolidated debt less (i) consolidated cash and cash equivalents and (ii) current restricted cash associated with PT-FI's export proceeds. This information differs from consolidated debt determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for consolidated debt determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. FCX's net debt, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, follows (in billions):

As the 90-day holding period is the only restriction on the cash, FCX has included such amount in the calculation of net debt.
c.Includes consolidated debt of $3.0 billion and consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $0.6 billion as of September 30, 2023, and consolidated debt of $3.0 billion and consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $1.8 billion as of December 31, 2022.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, FCX's mined copper was sold 50% in concentrate, 27% as cathode and 23% as rod from North America operations. All of FCX's copper concentrate and some cathode sales contracts provide final copper pricing in a specified future month (generally one to four months from the shipment date) based primarily on quoted London Metal Exchange (LME) monthly average copper prices. FCX records revenues and invoices customers at the time of shipment based on then-current LME prices, which results in an embedded derivative on provisionally priced concentrate and cathode sales that is adjusted to fair value through earnings each period, using the period-end forward prices, until final pricing on the date of settlement. In third-quarter 2023, LME copper settlement prices averaged $3.79 per pound and FCX's average realized copper price was $3.80 per pound. At September 30, 2023, FCX's provisionally priced copper sales were recorded at an average price of $3.75 per pound.
Beginning on January 1, 2023, PT-FI's commercial arrangement with PT Smelting converted from a concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement. Under this arrangement, PT-FI pays PT Smelting a tolling fee to smelt and refine its concentrate and PT-FI retains title to all products for sale to third parties (i.e., there are no further sales to PT Smelting). PT-FI’s sale of copper cathodes under the tolling arrangement are priced in the month of shipment and are not subject to provisional pricing.

b.Reflects adjustments to provisionally priced copper sales for the first nine months of 2023 and 2022.
At September 30, 2023, FCX had provisionally priced copper sales at its copper mining operations totaling 257 million pounds of copper (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average price of $3.75 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. FCX estimates that each $0.05 change in the price realized from the quarter-end provisional price would have an approximate $25 million effect on 2023 revenues ($8 million to net income attributable to common stock). The LME copper price settled at $3.60 per pound on October 18, 2023.
DEFERRED PROFITS
FCX defers recognizing profits on sales from its mining operations to Atlantic Copper and, through December 31, 2022, on 39.5% of PT-FI's sales to PT Smelting (PT-FI's 39.5% owned copper smelter and refinery in Gresik, Indonesia) until final sales to third parties occur. Changes in these deferrals attributable to variability in intercompany volumes resulted in net additions to operating income totaling $81 million ($37 million to net income attributable to common stock) in third-quarter 2023, $33 million ($14 million to net income attributable to common stock) in third-quarter 2022, $153 million ($64 million to net income attributable to common stock) for the first nine months of 2023 and $73 million ($37 million to net income attributable to common stock) for the first nine months of 2022. FCX's net deferred profits on its inventories at Atlantic Copper to be recognized in future periods' operating income totaled $30 million at September 30, 2023. Quarterly variations in ore grades, the timing of intercompany shipments and changes in product prices will result in variability in FCX's net deferred profits and quarterly earnings.
NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is primarily associated with PT-FI, Cerro Verde and El Abra and totaled $510 million in third-quarter 2023 and $1.3 billion for the first nine months of 2023 (which represented 35% and 30%, respectively, of FCX's consolidated income before income taxes). Refer to "Business Segments" below for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for each of FCX's business segments. As noted above, FCX’s economic interest in PT-FI approximated 81% through 2022, and beginning January 1, 2023, it is 48.76% (with the exception of approximately 190 thousand ounces of first-quarter 2023 gold sales volumes that were attributed approximately 81% to FCX in accordance with the PT-FI shareholders agreement).
Assuming average prices of $3.60 per pound of copper, $1,900 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2023 and achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is estimated to approximate $1.75 billion for the year 2023 (which would represent 31% of FCX's consolidated income before income taxes). The actual amount will depend on many factors, including relative performance of each business segment, commodity prices, costs and other factors.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS
FCX has organized its mining operations into four primary divisions – North America copper mines, South America mining, Indonesia mining and Molybdenum mines, and operating segments that meet certain thresholds are reportable segments. Separately disclosed in the following tables are FCX's reportable segments, which include the Morenci and Cerro Verde copper mines, the Grasberg minerals district (Indonesia Mining), the Rod & Refining operations and Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining.
Intersegment sales between FCX’s business segments are based on terms similar to arms-length transactions with third parties at the time of the sale. Intersegment sales may not be reflective of the actual prices ultimately realized because of a variety of factors, including additional processing, the timing of sales to unaffiliated customers and transportation premiums.
FCX allocates certain operating costs, expenses and capital expenditures to its operating divisions and individual segments. However, not all costs and expenses applicable to an operation are allocated. U.S. federal and state income taxes are recorded and managed at the corporate level (included in Corporate, Other & Eliminations), whereas foreign income taxes are recorded and managed at the applicable country level. In addition, most mining exploration and research activities are managed on a consolidated basis, and those costs along with some selling, general and administrative costs, are not allocated to the operating divisions or individual segments. Accordingly, the following segment information reflects management determinations that may not be indicative of what the actual financial performance of each operating division or segment would be if it was an independent entity.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS (continued)
a.Includes revenues from FCX's molybdenum sales company, which includes sales of molybdenum produced by the Molybdenum mines and by certain of the North America and South America copper mines.
b.The third quarter and first nine months of 2023 include a $13 million credit for the settlement of interest on Cerro Verde's historical profit sharing liability. The first nine months of 2023 also includes $74 million of interest expense associated with contested tax rulings by the Peruvian Supreme Court. Refer to the supplemental schedule, “Adjusted Net Income,” on page VII.
c.FCX’s economic interest in PT-FI approximated 81% through 2022, and beginning January 1, 2023, it is 48.76% (with the exception of approximately 190 thousand ounces of first-quarter 2023 gold sales volumes that were attributed approximately 81% to FCX in accordance with the PT-FI shareholders agreement).
d.Primarily includes capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects.
e.Includes PT-FI sales to PT Smelting totaling $572 million in third-quarter 2022, $27 million for the first nine months of 2023 (reflecting adjustments to prior period provisionally priced concentrate sales) and $2.3 billion for the first nine months of 2022. Beginning January 1, 2023, there are no sales from PT-FI to PT Smelting (refer to above discussion of the tolling arrangement between PT-FI and PT Smelting).
f.Includes a $55 million charge for administrative fines for the first nine months of 2023 and $41 million for the first nine months of 2022.
g.Includes maintenance charges and idle facility costs associated with major maintenance turnarounds totaling $41 million at Atlantic Copper for the first nine months of 2022.
PRODUCT REVENUES AND PRODUCTION COSTS
Unit net cash costs per pound of copper and molybdenum are measures intended to provide investors with information about the cash-generating capacity of FCX's mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for the respective operations. FCX uses this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by its mining operations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures are presented by other metals mining companies, although FCX's measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
FCX presents gross profit per pound of copper in the following tables using both a “by-product” method and a “co-product” method. FCX uses the by-product method in its presentation of gross profit per pound of copper because (i) the majority of its revenues are copper revenues, (ii) it mines ore, which contains copper, gold, molybdenum and other metals, (iii) it is not possible to specifically assign all of FCX's costs to revenues from the copper, gold, molybdenum and other metals it produces and (iv) it is the method used by FCX's management and Board of Directors to monitor FCX's mining operations and to compare mining operations in certain industry publications. In the co-product method presentations, shared costs are allocated to the different products based on their relative revenue values, which will vary to the extent FCX's metals sales volumes and realized prices change.
FCX shows revenue adjustments for prior period open sales as a separate line item. Because these adjustments do not result from current period sales, these amounts have been reflected separately from revenues on current period sales. Noncash and other costs, net which are removed from site production and delivery costs in the calculation of unit net cash costs, consist of items such as stock-based compensation costs, long-lived asset impairments, idle facility costs, feasibility and optimization study costs, restructuring and/or unusual charges. As discussed above, gold, molybdenum and other metal revenues at copper mines are reflected as credits against site production and delivery costs in the by-product method. The following schedules are presentations under both the by-product and co-product methods together with reconciliations to amounts reported in FCX's consolidated financial statements.

fcx.com FCX Conference Call 3rd Quarter 2023 Results October 19, 2023
Cautionary Statement This presentation contains forward-looking statements in which FCX discusses its potential future performance, operations and projects. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements of historical facts, such as plans, projections, or expectations relating to business outlook, strategy, goals or targets; global market conditions; ore grades and milling rates; production and sales volumes; unit net cash costs and operating costs; capital expenditures; operating plans; cash flows; liquidity; PT-FI’s financing, construction and completion of additional domestic smelting capacity in Indonesia in accordance with the terms of its special mining license (IUPK); extension of PT Freeport Indonesia’s (PT-FI) IUPK beyond 2041 and export licenses; PT-FI’s resumption of exports of anode slimes; payment of export duties; export volumes; FCX’s commitment to deliver responsibly produced copper and molybdenum, including plans to implement, validate and maintain validation of its operating sites under specific frameworks; execution of FCX’s energy and climate strategies and the underly ing assumptions and estimated impacts on FCX’s business and stakeholders related thereto; achievement of 2030 climate targets and 2050 net zero aspiration; improvements in operating procedures and technology innovations and applications; the impact of the August 2023 cybersecurity incident; exploration efforts and results; development and production activities, rates and costs; future organic growth opportunities; tax rates; the impact of copper, gold and molybdenum price changes; the impact of deferred intercompany profits on earnings; mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates; final resolution of settlements associated with ongoing legal and environmental proceedings; debt repurchases; and the ongoing implementation of FCX’s financial policy and future returns to shareholders, including dividend payments (base or variable) and share repurchases. The words “anticipates,” “may,” “can,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “targets,” “intends,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “to be,” “potential,” “assumptions,” “guidance,” “aspirations,” “future,” “commitments,” “pursues,” “initiatives,” “objectives,” “opportunities,” “strategy” and any similar expressions are intended to identify those assertions as forward-looking statements. The declaration and payment of dividends (base or variable), and timing and amount of any share repurchases are at the discretion of the Board of Directors (Board) and management, respectively, and are subject to a number of factors, including not exceeding FCX’s net debt target, capital availability, FCX’s financial results, cash requirements, global economic conditions, changes in laws, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by the Board or management, as applicable. The share repurchase program may be modified, increased, suspended or terminated at any time at the Board’s discretion. FCX cautions readers that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated, expected, projected or assumed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that can cause FCX’s actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, supply of and demand for, and prices of the commodities FCX produces, primarily copper; PT-FI’s ability to continue to export and sell copper concentrates and anode slimes; changes in export duties, including results of proceedings to dispute export duties; the Indonesia government’s approval of a deferred schedule for completion of additional domestic smelting capacity in Indonesia; production rates; timing of shipments; price and availability of consumables and components FCX purchases as well as constraints on supply and logistics, and transportation services; changes in FCX’s cash requirements, financial position, financing or investment plans; changes in general market, economic, regulatory or industry conditions; reductions in liquidity and access to capital; changes in tax laws and regulations, including the impact of the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act; any major public health crisis; political and social risks, including the potential effects of violence in Indonesia, civil unrest in Peru, and relations with local communities and Indigenous Peoples; operational risks inherent in mining, with higher inherent risks in underground mining; mine sequencing; changes in mine plans or operational modifications, delays, deferrals or cancellations; results of technical, economic or feasibility studies; potential inventory adjustments; potential impairment of long-lived mining assets; satisfaction of requirements in accordance with PT-FI’s IUPK to extend mining rights from 2031 through 2041; discussions relating to the extension of PT-FI’s IUPK beyond 2041; cybersecurity incidents; labor relations, including labor-related work stoppages and costs; compliance with applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations; weather- and climate-related risks; environmental risks, including availability of secure water supplies; litigation results; tailings management; FCX’s ability to comply with its responsible production commitments under specific frameworks and any changes to such frameworks and other factors described in more detail under the heading “Risk Factors” in FCX’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as may be updated by FCX’s subsequent filings with the SEC. Investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions upon which FCX’s forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after the date the forward-looking statements are made, including for example commodity prices, which FCX cannot control, and production volumes and costs or technological solutions and innovations, some aspects of which FCX may not be able to control. Further, FCX may make changes to its business plans that could affect its results. FCX cautions investors that it undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, notwithstanding any changes in its assumptions, changes in business plans, actual experience or other changes. Estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources are subject to considerable uncertainty. Such estimates are, to a large extent, based on metal prices for the commodities we produce and interpretations of geologic data, which may not necessarily be indicative of future results or quantities ultimately recovered. This presentation includes forward-looking statements regarding mineral resources not included in proven and probable mineral reserves. A mineral resource, which includes measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources, is a concentration or occurrence of material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, grade or quality, and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction. Such a deposit cannot qualify as recoverable proven and probable mineral reserves until legal and economic feasibility are confirmed based upon a comprehensive evaluation of development and operating costs, grades, recoveries and other material modifying factors. This presentation also includes forward-looking statements regarding mineral potential, which includes exploration targets and mineral resources but will not qualify as mineral reserves until comprehensive engineering studies establish legal and economic feasibility. Significant additional evaluation is required and no assurance can be given that the potential quantities of metal will be produced. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that estimated mineral resources or mineral potential will become proven and probable mineral reserves. This presentation also contains measures such as unit net cash costs per pound of copper and molybdenum, net debt and adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), which are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). FCX’s calculation and reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound of copper and net debt to amounts reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements are in the supplemental schedules of FCX’s 3Q23 press release, which is available on FCX’s website, fcx.com. A reconciliation of amounts reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements to adjusted EBITDA is included on slide 29. For forward-looking non-GAAP measures FCX is unable to provide a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure because the information needed to reconcile these measures is dependent upon future events, many of which are outside of management’s control as described above. Additionally, estimating such GAAP measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation consistent with FCX’s accounting policies for future periods is extremely difficult and requires a level of precision that is unavailable for these future periods and cannot be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Forward-looking non-GAAP measures are estimated consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions. 2

(2) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, lenders and others to evaluate companies’ performance, including, among other things, profitability before the effect of financing and similar decisions. Because securities analysts, investors, lenders and others use Adjusted EBITDA, management believes that our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA affords them greater transparency in assessing our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, as different companies calculate such measures differently.
