Market Conditions
The London Metal Exchange (LME) copper settlement price reached a high of $4.87 per pound in March 2022, supported by copper's increasingly important role in decarbonization technologies and limited mine supply. Beginning in June 2022, a series of macro-economic factors (including concerns about the global economy, Chinese economic data, European energy crisis, rising United States (U.S.) interest rates and currency exchange rates related to the strength of the U.S. dollar) led to a decline in copper prices. The LME copper settlement price declined to $3.74 per pound at June 30, 2022, and further declined during third-quarter 2022 to $3.47 per pound at September 30, 2022. The LME copper settlement price was $3.37 per pound on October 19, 2022.
Physical market fundamentals remain tight as evidenced by low levels of global exchange stocks. FCX's global customer base reports healthy demand for copper. FCX believes the outlook for copper fundamentals in the medium- and long-term remain favorable, with studies indicating that demand for copper may double in 15 years based on the global movement towards decarbonization. FCX also believes substantial new mine supply development will be required to meet the goals of the global energy transition, and current prices for copper are insufficient to support new mine supply development, which is expected to add to future supply deficits.
Historically, copper prices have been correlated to various input costs, including energy and other commodity-related consumables. However, during 2022, prices for a number of commodity-related consumables have increased at a time when copper prices have declined. A return to historical long-term correlation and improved labor markets and supply chain constraints would improve cost and operational efficiencies.
The FCX management team and global organization have substantial experience and success in executing under volatile market conditions and a challenging operating environment. FCX benefits from a diversified portfolio of operations with an attractive cost structure, long-lived reserves, optionality in its project pipeline and a strong balance sheet and liquidity position.
FCX is closely monitoring market conditions and will adjust its operating plans to protect its liquidity and preserve its asset values, as necessary. FCX will maintain a strong balance sheet and liquidity position as it focuses on building long-term value in its business, executing its operating plans safely, responsibly and efficiently, and prudently managing costs and capital expenditures. FCX will opportunistically use excess cash to repurchase its debt and equity securities. Refer to FCX's Financial Policy beginning on page 10.
Responsible Production
2021 Climate Report. In September 2022, FCX published its updated climate report, available on FCX's website at fcx.com/sustainability. The climate report details FCX's ongoing initiatives to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, improve energy efficiency, evaluate and integrate the use of lower carbon and renewable energy sources and enhance its resilience to future climate-related risks. FCX continues to advance its GHG emissions reduction initiatives across its global operations and has established 2030 GHG reduction targets that collectively cover nearly 100 percent of its Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions.
The Copper Mark. FCX is committed to validating all of its copper producing sites with the Copper Mark, a comprehensive assurance framework designed to demonstrate the copper industry's responsible production practices. To achieve the Copper Mark, each site is required to complete an external assurance process to assess conformance with 32 environmental, social and governance (ESG) requirements. To date, FCX has achieved the Copper Mark at all 11 of its eligible copper producing sites in North America, South America and Europe, and PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI) has signed a letter of commitment and initiated the validation process.
ICMM. FCX is a founding member of the International Council on Mining & Metals (ICMM), an organization dedicated to a safe, fair and sustainable mining and metals industry, aiming continuously to strengthen ESG performance across the global mining and metals industry. As a member company, FCX is required to implement the 10 Mining Principles which define good ESG practices, and associated position statements, while also meeting 39 performance expectations and producing an externally verified sustainability report in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative Standards subject to the ICMM Assurance & Validation Procedure.
Consolidated Sales Volumes
Third-quarter 2022 copper sales of 1.1 billion pounds were 4 percent higher than the July 2022 estimate and 3 percent higher than third-quarter 2021 sales, primarily reflecting strong production performance and the timing of shipments at PT-FI.
Third-quarter 2022 gold sales of 480 thousand ounces were 20 percent higher than the July 2022 estimate of 400 thousand ounces of gold, primarily reflecting higher ore grades and the timing of shipments. Third-quarter 2022 gold sales were 19 percent higher than third-quarter 2021 sales of 402 thousand ounces, primarily reflecting increased operating rates at the Grasberg minerals district.
Third-quarter 2022 molybdenum sales of 17 million pounds were lower than the July 2022 estimate of 21 million pounds and third-quarter 2021 sales of 20 million pounds, primarily reflecting lower by-product production from certain copper mines.
Consolidated sales volumes for the year 2022 are expected to approximate 4.2 billion pounds of copper, 1.8 million ounces of gold and 76 million pounds of molybdenum, including 1.0 billion pounds of copper, 420 thousand ounces of gold and 20 million pounds of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2022. Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance, weather-related conditions, timing of shipments and other factors detailed in the Cautionary Statement below.
Consolidated Unit Net Cash Costs
Third-quarter 2022 consolidated average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for FCX's copper mines of $1.75 per pound of copper were higher than the third-quarter 2021 average of $1.24 per pound, primarily reflecting higher energy prices and increased costs for other consumables such as sulfuric acid, explosives, key equipment parts and other supplies and services. Third-quarter 2022 consolidated average unit net cash costs were 5 percent higher than the July 2022 estimate of $1.67 per pound, primarily reflecting higher maintenance and supply costs. Refer to "Mining Operations" below for further discussion.
Assuming average prices of $1,700 per ounce of gold and $18.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2022 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 $1.55 per pound of copper for the year 2022 (including $1.68 per pound in fourth-quarter 2022). The impact of price changes during fourth-quarter 2022 on consolidated unit net cash costs for the year 2022 would approximate $0.02 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and less than $0.01 per pound of copper for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum. Quarterly unit net cash costs vary with fluctuations in sales volumes and realized prices, primarily for gold and molybdenum.
MINING OPERATIONS
Leaching Innovation Initiatives. FCX is advancing efforts to improve copper recovery from all ore types using leach processes. Several initiatives ongoing across FCX's North America and South America operations incorporate new applications, technologies and data analytics. FCX believes these leach innovation initiatives provide potential opportunities to produce incremental copper from its large existing leach stockpiles and lower-grade material currently classified as waste. Initial results support the potential for incremental low-cost additions to FCX's production and reserve profile.
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 percent 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.
Lone Star is increasing its operating rates to achieve production of 300 million pounds of copper per year from oxide ores (compared with the initial design capacity of 200 million pounds per year). This oxide project at Lone Star advances the opportunity for development of the underlying, large-scale sulfide resources. FCX is also increasing exploration in the area to support metallurgical testing and mine development planning for a potential significant long-term investment to build additional scale on an economically attractive basis.
FCX is planning an expansion to double the concentrator capacity of the Bagdad operation in northwest Arizona. FCX is engaging stakeholders and is conducting a feasibility study, which is expected to be completed in 2023. The timing of future development will be dependent on market conditions and other economic factors.
Operating Data. Following is summary consolidated operating data for the North America copper mines:

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 XIII.
FCX's consolidated copper sales volumes from North America of 361 million pounds in third-quarter 2022 were lower than third-quarter 2021 copper sales volumes of 375 million, primarily reflecting timing of shipments as quarterly production volumes in third-quarter 2022 approximated third-quarter 2021. North America copper sales are estimated to approximate 1.5 billion pounds for the year 2022.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines of $2.56 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2022 were higher than third-quarter 2021 unit net cash costs of $1.82 per pound,
primarily reflecting increased costs for energy, labor, maintenance and supplies and lower molybdenum by-product credits.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines are expected to approximate $2.35 per pound of copper for the year 2022, based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average molybdenum price of $18.00 per pound in fourth-quarter 2022. North America's average unit net cash costs for the year 2022 would change by approximately $0.01 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2022.
South America Mining. FCX operates two copper mines in South America - Cerro Verde in Peru (in which FCX owns a 53.56 percent interest) and El Abra in Chile (in which FCX owns a 51 percent 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 2022, milling rates at Cerro Verde's concentrator averaged 403,900 metric tons of ore per day and are currently expected to average over 400,000 metric tons of ore per day in fourth-quarter 2022.
Operating rates at El Abra have returned to pre-COVID-19 levels and increased mining and stacking activities are expected to result in an approximate 30 percent increase in El Abra copper production for the year 2022, compared with the year 2021.
El Abra's large sulfide resource supports a potential major mill project similar to the large-scale concentrator constructed at Cerro Verde in 2015. Technical and economic studies continue to be evaluated to determine the optimal scope and timing for the sulfide project. FCX also is considering options to invest in water infrastructure to provide options to extend existing operations, while continuing to monitor potential changes in Chile's regulatory and fiscal matters. FCX will defer major investment decisions pending clarity on Chile's regulatory and fiscal matters.

FCX's consolidated copper sales volumes from South America of 293 million pounds in third-quarter 2022 were higher than third-quarter 2021 copper sales volumes of 280 million pounds, primarily reflecting higher mining and milling rates and higher ore grades. Copper sales from South America mining are expected to approximate 1.15 billion pounds for the year 2022.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America mining of $2.58 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2022 were higher than third-quarter 2021 unit net cash costs of $1.90, primarily reflecting higher energy, sulfuric acid and other input costs and lower molybdenum by-product credits, partly offset by higher sales volumes.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America mining are expected to approximate $2.38 per pound of copper for the year 2022, based on current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $18.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2022.
In September 2022, El Abra and its two workers' unions signed new collective labor agreements (CLAs), which expire on April 30, 2026. No significant charges are expected to be recorded associated with the new CLAs.
Indonesia Mining. PT-FI operates one of the world’s largest copper and gold mines at the Grasberg minerals district in Papua, Indonesia. PT-FI produces copper concentrate that contains significant quantities of gold and silver. FCX has a 48.76 percent ownership interest in PT-FI and manages its mining operations. Under the terms of the 2018 shareholders agreement, FCX’s economic interest in PT-FI approximates 81 percent through 2022, and 48.76 percent thereafter. PT-FI's results are consolidated in FCX's financial statements.
Operating and Development Activities. PT-FI currently has three underground operating mines in the Grasberg minerals district: Grasberg Block Cave, DMLZ and Big Gossan. In late 2021, PT-FI achieved quarterly copper and gold production volumes approximating 100 percent of projected annualized levels of approximately 1.6 billion pounds of copper and 1.6 million ounces of gold.
PT-FI's milling rates for ore extracted from its underground mines averaged 188,700 metric tons of ore per day in third-quarter 2022, and PT-FI expects to achieve a similar milling rate in fourth-quarter 2022. The installation of additional milling facilities at PT-FI is currently expected to be completed in the second half of 2023, which would increase milling capacity to approximately 240,000 metric tons of ore per day and provide for continued annualized copper and gold production volumes of approximately 1.6 billion pounds of copper and 1.6 million ounces of gold. 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 first half of 2024, and is expected to provide incremental metal production of approximately 60 million pounds of copper and 40 thousand ounces of gold per year.
For the year 2022, PT-FI's estimated capital spending on the Grasberg Block Cave and DMLZ underground projects, including construction of a dual-fuel power plant, is expected to approximate $1.0 billion, net of scheduled contributions from PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (Persero) (PT Inalum, also known as MIND ID). In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the aggregate costs (before scheduled contributions from PT Inalum), which are expected to approximate $1.2 billion for the year 2022, will be reflected as an investing activity in FCX's cash flow statement and contributions from PT Inalum will be reflected as a financing activity.
Kucing Liar. PT-FI commenced long-term mine development activities for its Kucing Liar deposit during 2021, which is expected to produce over 6 billion pounds of copper and 5 million ounces of gold between 2028 and the end of 2041. Pre-production development activities will occur over an approximate 10-year timeframe, and capital investments are expected to average approximately $400 million per year over the next 10 years. At full operating rates, annual production from Kucing Liar is expected to approximate 600 million pounds of copper and 500 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 committed to construct additional domestic smelting capacity totaling 2 million metric tons of concentrate per year by the end of 2023 (subject to force majeure provisions).
PT-FI is actively engaged in the following projects for additional domestic smelting capacity:
•Construction of a greenfield smelter in Gresik, Indonesia with a capacity to process approximately 1.7 million metric tons of copper concentrate per year. The smelter construction is advancing and is expected to be completed as soon as feasible in 2024 at 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.
•Expansion of PT Smelting's capacity by 30 percent to 1.3 million metric tons of concentrate per year, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2023. PT-FI completed agreements in November 2021 with the majority owner of PT Smelting to implement the expansion plans. PT-FI is funding the cost of the expansion,
estimated to approximate $250 million, with a loan that will convert to equity, increasing ownership in PT Smelting from a 39.5 percent ownership interest to a majority ownership interest once the expansion is complete. FCX and PT-FI will consolidate PT Smelting's results following the increase to a majority ownership.
◦Commencing in 2023, PT-FI's commercial arrangement with PT Smelting will convert to a tolling arrangement. PT-FI will pay PT Smelting a tolling fee to smelt and refine its concentrate and will retain title of all products for sale to third parties. This is not expected to result in a significant change in PT-FI's economics but will impact the timing of PT-FI's sales during 2023.
•Construction of a precious metals refinery (PMR) to process gold and silver from the greenfield smelter and PT Smelting at an estimated cost of $400 million.
Capital expenditures for the greenfield smelter and PMR (collectively, the Indonesia smelter projects) totaled $0.5 billion during the first nine months of 2022 and are expected to approximate $0.9 billion for the year 2022. Capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects are being funded with proceeds received from PT-FI's senior notes offering and availability under its revolving credit facility.
Construction of the additional domestic smelter capacity will result in the elimination of export duties, providing an offset to the economic cost associated with the Indonesia smelter projects. Based on current development progress of additional smelting capacity, PT-FI expects export duties to be reduced from the current rate of 5 percent to 2.5 percent by the end of 2022.
Mining Rights. PT-FI and the Indonesia government have begun preliminary discussions regarding the extension of PT-FI's mining rights under its special mining license (IUPK) beyond 2041. PT-FI believes an extension beyond 2041 would enable continuity of operations and the identification of additional resource development opportunities in the Grasberg minerals district.
Operating Data. Following is summary consolidated operating data for Indonesia mining:

b.Includes charges totaling $0.05 per pound in the third quarter and $0.02 per pound for the first nine months for nonrecurring costs associated with PT-FI's environmental commitments.
PT-FI's consolidated sales of 406 million pounds of copper and 476 thousand ounces of gold in third-quarter 2022 were higher than third-quarter 2021 consolidated sales of 378 million pounds of copper and 399 thousand ounces of gold, primarily reflecting increased operating rates at the Grasberg minerals district, partially offset by
lower copper ore grades. Consolidated sales volumes from PT-FI are expected to approximate 1.6 billion pounds of copper and 1.8 million ounces of gold for the year 2022.
PT-FI's unit net cash costs (net of gold and silver credits) of $0.44 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2022 were higher than unit net cash costs of $0.17 per pound in third-quarter 2021, primarily reflecting higher energy costs and increased operating rates, partly offset by higher sales volumes.
Assuming an average gold price $1,700 per ounce in fourth-quarter 2022 and achievement of current sales volumes and cost estimates, unit net cash costs (net of gold and silver credits) for PT-FI are expected to approximate $0.19 per pound of copper for the year 2022. PT-FI's average unit net cash costs for the year 2022 would change by approximately $0.04 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold in fourth-quarter 2022.
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 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 8 million pounds of molybdenum in third-quarter 2022 and 9 million pounds of molybdenum in third-quarter 2021. 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 $12.10 per pound of molybdenum in third-quarter 2022 were higher than average unit net cash costs of $8.54 per pound in third-quarter 2021, primarily reflecting increased contract labor largely for a pushback at the Climax mine, and higher energy and other input costs. Based on current sales volume and cost estimates, average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines are expected to approximate $11.45 per pound of molybdenum for the year 2022.
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 XIII.
EXPLORATION
FCX's mining exploration activities are primarily associated with its existing mines, focusing on opportunities to expand reserves and resources to support development of additional future production capacity. Exploration results continue to indicate opportunities for significant future potential reserve additions at FCX's existing properties in North America and South America. Exploration expenditures for the year 2022, primarily to advance Lone Star and other opportunities at FCX's North America copper mines, are expected to approximate $115 million, compared with $50 million in 2021. FCX has long-lived reserves and a significant resource position in its existing portfolio.
LIQUIDITY, CASH FLOWS, CASH AND DEBT
Liquidity. At September 30, 2022, FCX had $8.6 billion in consolidated cash and cash equivalents and $3.5 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.
Operating Cash Flows. FCX generated operating cash flows of $0.8 billion (net of $0.3 billion of working capital and other uses) in third-quarter 2022 and $4.1 billion (net of $1.0 billion of working capital and other uses) for the first nine months of 2022.
Based on current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming average prices of $3.50 per pound of copper, $1,700 per ounce of gold and $18.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2022, FCX's consolidated operating cash flows are estimated to approximate $4.7 billion (net of $1.4 billion of working capital and other uses) for the year 2022. The impact of price changes during fourth-quarter 2022 on operating cash flows for the year 2022 would approximate $100 million for each $0.10 per pound change in the average price of copper, $35 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 $0.8 billion in third-quarter 2022 (including $0.4 billion for major mining projects and $0.2 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects) and $2.4 billion for the first nine months of 2022 (including $1.2 billion for major mining projects and $0.5 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects).
Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $3.6 billion for the year 2022 (including $1.8 billion for major mining projects and $0.9 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects). Projected capital expenditures for major mining projects include $1.4 billion for planned projects primarily associated with underground mine development in the Grasberg minerals district and supporting mill and power capital costs and $0.4 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 offerings and availability under its revolving credit facility.

In October 2022, FCX entered into a new $3.0 billion revolving credit facility that matures in October 2027 and replaces its prior revolving credit facility. The terms of the new facility are substantially similar to FCX's prior facility.
FCX has purchased approximately $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of its senior notes in open-market transactions during 2022 (through October 19, 2022) for a total cost of $1.0 billion (including $402 million aggregate principal amount in third-quarter 2022), resulting in annual cash interest savings of approximately $50 million. During third-quarter 2022, FCX recorded a gain on early extinguishment of debt totaling $20 million associated with its senior note purchases.
FINANCIAL POLICY
FCX's financial policy is aligned with its strategic objectives of maintaining a strong balance sheet and increasing cash returns to shareholders while advancing opportunities for future growth. The policy includes a base dividend and a performance-based payout framework, whereby up to 50 percent 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 project debt for additional smelting capacity in Indonesia). The Board of Directors (the Board) will review the structure of the performance-based payout framework at least annually.
At September 30, 2022, FCX's net debt, excluding net debt for the Indonesia smelter projects, totaled $1.3 billion. Refer to the supplemental schedule, "Net Debt," on page IX.
On September 21, 2022, FCX declared dividends totaling $0.15 per share on its common stock (which included a $0.075 per share quarterly base cash dividend and a $0.075 per share quarterly variable cash dividend), which will be paid on November 1, 2022, to shareholders of record as of October 14, 2022. The declaration and payment of dividends (base or variable) is at the discretion of the Board and will depend on FCX's financial results, cash requirements, business prospects, global economic conditions and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.
In July 2022, the Board authorized an increase in the share repurchase program up to $5.0 billion. No shares have been purchased since July 11, 2022. FCX has acquired 47.9 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $1.8 billion ($38.35 average cost per share) under its share repurchase program, including 35.1 million shares for a total cost of $1.3 billion ($38.36 average cost per share) during 2022. As of October 19, 2022, FCX has 1.43 billion shares of common stock outstanding and $3.2 billion is available under its share repurchase program. The timing and amount of share repurchases is at the discretion of management and will depend on a variety of factors. The share repurchase program may be modified, increased, suspended or terminated at any time at the Board’s discretion.

f.In accordance with applicable accounting rules, FCX adjusts its interim provision for income taxes equal to its consolidated tax rate.
Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and average prices of $3.50 per pound for copper, $1,700 per ounce for gold and $18.00 per pound for molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2022, FCX estimates its consolidated effective tax rate for the year 2022 would approximate 34 percent (which would result in a 38 percent effective tax rate in fourth-quarter 2022). Changes in projected sales volumes and average prices during fourth-quarter 2022 would incur tax impacts at estimated effective rates of 40 percent for Peru, 38 percent for Indonesia and 0 percent for the U.S.
On August 16, 2022, the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the Inflation Reduction Act) was signed into law, which includes, among other provisions, a new corporate alternative minimum tax of 15 percent on the adjusted financial statement income (AFSI) of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1.0 billion over a three-year period. Additionally, the Inflation Reduction Act imposes a new excise tax of 1 percent on the fair market value of net corporate stock repurchases. These provisions are effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. FCX continues to analyze the impacts of the Inflation Reduction Act on its future results of operations. The Inflation Reduction Act had no impact on FCX’s financial statements for the third quarter or first nine months of 2022.

NET DEBT
Net debt, which FCX defines as consolidated debt less consolidated cash and cash equivalents, is intended to provide investors with information related to the performance-based payout framework in FCX’s financial policy, which requires achievement of a net debt target in the range of $3 billion to $4 billion (excluding project debt for additional smelting capacity in Indonesia). 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):

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, FCX's mined copper was sold 60 percent in concentrate, 18 percent as cathode and 22 percent as rod from North America operations. Substantially all of FCX's copper concentrate and 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. LME copper settlement prices averaged $3.51 per pound during third-quarter 2022 and settled at $3.47 per pound on September 30, 2022. Because a significant portion of FCX's copper concentrate and cathode sales in any quarterly period usually remain subject to final pricing, the quarter-end forward price is a major determinant of the average recorded copper price for the period. FCX's average realized copper price was $3.50 per pound in third-quarter 2022.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS (continued)
At September 30, 2022, FCX had provisionally priced copper sales at its copper mining operations totaling 523 million pounds of copper (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average price of $3.45 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 $16 million effect on 2022 net income attributable to common stock. The LME copper price settled at $3.37 per pound on October 19, 2022.
DEFERRED PROFITS
FCX defers recognizing profits on sales from its mining operations to Atlantic Copper and on 39.5 percent of PT-FI's sales to PT Smelting (PT-FI's 39.5 percent-owned Indonesia smelting unit) until final sales to third parties occur. Changes in these deferrals attributable to variability in intercompany volumes resulted in net additions (reductions) to operating income totaling $33 million ($14 million to net income attributable to common stock) in third-quarter 2022, $41 million ($48 million to net income attributable to common stock) in third-quarter 2021, $73 million ($37 million to net income attributable to common stock) for the first nine months of 2022 and $(144) million ($(97) million to net income attributable to common stock) for the first nine months of 2021. FCX's net deferred profits on its inventories at Atlantic Copper and PT Smelting to be recognized in future periods' net income attributable to common stock totaled $105 million at September 30, 2022. 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.
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.

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 (credits), 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, restructuring and/or unusual charges (credits). 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 Conference Call 3rd Quarter 2022 Results October 20, 2022
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements in which FCX discusses its potential future performance. 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-FI’s IUPK beyond 2041; FCX’s commitment to deliver responsibly produced copper, including plans to implement and validate its operating sites under specific frameworks; execution of FCX’s energy and climate strategies and the underlying assumptions and estimated impacts on FCX’s business related thereto; achievement of climate commitments by 2030 and 2050 net zero aspiration; improvements in operating procedures and technology innovations; exploration efforts and results; development and production activities, rates and costs; future organic growth opportunities; tax rates; export quotas and duties; 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 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 is at the discretion of the Board of Directors (Board) and management, respectively, and is subject to a number of factors, including maintaining FCX’s net debt target, capital availability, FCX’s financial results, cash requirements, business prospects, 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; changes in FCX’s cash requirements, financial position, financing or investment plans; changes in general market, economic, tax, regulatory or industry conditions, including as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or potential global economic downturn or recession; reductions in liquidity and access to capital; the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and any future public health crisis; political and social risks; operational risks inherent in mining, with higher inherent risks in underground mining; fluctuations in price and availability of commodities purchased; constraints on supply, logistics and transportation services; mine sequencing; changes in mine plans or operational modifications, delays, deferrals or cancellations; production rates; timing of shipments; results of technical, economic or feasibility studies; potential inventory adjustments; potential impairment of long-lived mining assets; the potential effects of violence in Indonesia generally and in the province of Papua; the Indonesia government’s extension of PT-FI’s export license after March 19, 2023; satisfaction of requirements in accordance with PT-FI’s IUPK to extend mining rights from 2031 through 2041; the Indonesia government’s approval of a deferred schedule for completion of additional domestic smelting capacity in Indonesia; discussions relating to the extension of PTFI’s IUPK beyond 2041; cybersecurity incidents; labor relations, including labor-related work stoppages and costs; the results of the human health assessment to evaluate the potential impacts of tailings and mining waste, and compliance with applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations; weather- and climate-related risks; environmental risks and litigation results; 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, 2021, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (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 innovation, 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. This presentation also 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 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 estimated mineral potential not included in mineral reserves will become proven and probable mineral reserves. This presentation also contains financial measures such as unit net cash costs per pound of copper, net debt and adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), which are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). As required by SEC Regulation G, 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 3Q22 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 31. For forward-looking non-GAAP measures FCX is unable to provide a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial 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

16 Copper – Metal of the Future Critical to Global Decarbonization Source: International Copper Association See Cautionary Statement. Freeport is strategically positioned as a leading copper producer. Global Decarbonization is Expected to Drive Intensity of Copper Use More than 65% of the world’s copper is used in applications that deliver electricity Electric vehicles use up to four times more copper than internal combustion engines Copper consumption associated with electric vehicles and renewable energy technologies to grow rapidly Renewable energy technologies use four to five times more copper than fossil fuel power generation
S&P Global Copper Study Published in July 2022 17 Key takeaways from independent study led by Dan Yergin as project chairman • Copper — the “metal of electrification” — is essential to all energy transition plans • Copper demand is projected to grow from 25 million metric tons (MMt) today to about 50 MMt by 2035, a record-high level that will be sustained and continue to grow to 53 MMt by 2050 • Potential supply-demand gap is expected to be very large as the transition proceeds • Substitution and recycling will not be enough to meet the demands of electric vehicles (EVs), power infrastructure, and renewable generation • Unless massive new supply comes online in a timely way, the global goal of Net-Zero Emissions by 2050 will be short-circuited and remain out of reach

PT-FI Mine Plan Metal Production, 2021 – 2026e NOTE: Amounts are projections. Timing of annual production will depend on a number of factors, including operational performance and other factors. FCX's economic interest in PT-FI approximates 81.27% through 2022 and 48.76% thereafter. Beginning in 2023, PT-FI's commercial arrangement with PT Smelting will convert to a tolling arrangement. PT-FI will pay PT Smelting a tolling fee to smelt and refine its concentrate and PT-FI will retain title of all products for sale to third parties. This is not expected to result in a significant change in PT-FI's economics but will impact the timing of PT-FI's sales. e = estimate.

31 Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation (1) The 12 months ended 9/30/2022 includes adjustments to reclamation liabilities at PT-FI ($340 mm), net adjustments to environmental obligations ($34 mm), net charges for contested matters at PT-FI ($30 mm) and nonrecurring labor-related charges at Cerro Verde ($18 mm), partly offset by net credits associated with refunds of Arizona transaction privilege taxes related to purchased electricity ($27 mm) and adjustments to prior period profit sharing at Cerro Verde ($16 mm). (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.
