NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S.). Therefore, this information should be read in conjunction with Freeport-McMoRan Inc.’s (FCX) consolidated financial statements and notes contained in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (2022 Form 10-K). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported. All such adjustments are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

PT-FI. Beginning January 1, 2023, FCX’s economic ownership interest in PT-FI is 48.76% and prior to January 1, 2023, FCX’s economic interest in PT-FI approximated 81%. As discussed in Note 3 of FCX’s 2022 Form 10-K, in accordance with provisions pertaining to PT-FI’s shareholders agreement, FCX's first-quarter 2023 net income included a $35 million net benefit associated with PT-FI sales volumes that were attributed to FCX at its previous approximate 81% economic ownership interest.

Subsequent Events. FCX evaluated events after June 30, 2023, and through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and determined any events and transactions occurring during this period that would require recognition or disclosure are appropriately addressed in these consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

FCX calculates its basic net income per share of common stock under the two-class method and calculates its diluted net income per share of common stock using the more dilutive of the two-class method or the treasury-stock method. Basic net income per share of common stock was computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders (after deducting accumulated dividends and undistributed earnings to participating securities) by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share of common stock was calculated by including the basic weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding adjusted for the effects of all potential dilutive shares of common stock, unless their effect would be antidilutive.

Reconciliations of net income and weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income per share follow (in millions, except per share amounts):

b.The increase in finished goods inventory at June 30, 2023, was associated with the change in PT-FI's commercial arrangement with PT Smelting (PT-FI’s 39.5% owned copper smelter and refinery in Gresik, Indonesia) from a copper concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement beginning on January 1, 2023. At June 30, 2023, approximately 85 million pounds of copper and 40 thousand ounces of gold from PT-FI’s production was deferred in inventory and will be sold as refined metal in future periods.
c.Estimated metals in stockpiles not expected to be recovered within the next 12 months.

NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES

Geographic sources of FCX’s benefit (provision) for income taxes follow (in millions):
Six Months Ended

U.S. operations$3

International operations(1,041)(1,390)
Total$(1,038)$(1,395)


FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate was 37% for the first six months of 2023 and 32% for the first six months of 2022. The higher 2023 effective income tax rate reflects the impact of pre-tax, nondeductible charges totaling $142 million for the first six months of 2023 associated with contested tax rulings by the Peruvian Supreme Court. In addition, variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income result in fluctuations to FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate. Because of its U.S. tax position, FCX does not record a financial statement impact for income or losses generated in the U.S.

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 (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 its financial results for the first six months of

2023. However, future guidance released by the Treasury may differ from its interpretations, which could be material and may further limit FCX’s ability to realize future benefits from its U.S. net operating losses.

Revolving Credit Facilities.
FCX and PT-FI have a $3.0 billion, unsecured revolving credit facility that matures in October 2027. Under the terms of the revolving credit facility, FCX may obtain loans and issue letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $3.0 billion with PT-FI’s capacity limited to $500 million, and letters of credit issuance limited to $1.5 billion. At June 30, 2023, FCX had $8 million in letters of credit issued under its revolving credit facility.

PT-FI has a $1.3 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that matures in July 2026 and Cerro Verde has a $350 million unsecured revolving credit facility that matures in May 2027.

At June 30, 2023, FCX, PT-FI and Cerro Verde had no borrowings outstanding under their respective revolving credit facilities and were in compliance with their respective covenants.

Senior Notes.
In March 2023, FCX repaid in full the outstanding principal balance of its 3.875% Senior Notes totaling $996 million at maturity.

Beginning in 2022 and through August 3, 2023, FCX has purchased $1.3 billion aggregate principal amount of its senior notes in open-market transactions for a total cost of $1.2 billion, including $131 million aggregate principal amount in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, and $103 million aggregate principal amount from July 1, 2023, through August 3, 2023. A summary of the senior note purchases and related gains on debt extinguishments for the second quarter and first six months of 2023, follows (in millions):

Interest Expense, Net. Consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) totaled $234 million in second-quarter 2023, $189 million in second-quarter 2022, $441 million for the first six months of 2023 and $342 million for the first six months of 2022. Consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) in the 2023 periods includes, interest expense associated with Cerro Verde’s contested tax rulings by the Peruvian Supreme Court totaling $50 million in second-quarter 2023 and $74 million for the first six months of 2023.

Table of Contents                 
Capitalized interest added to property, plant, equipment and mine development costs, net, totaled $62 million in second-quarter 2023, $33 million in second-quarter 2022, $119 million for the first six months of 2023 and $59 million for the first six months of 2022. The increase in capitalized interest costs in the 2023 periods, compared to the 2022 periods, primarily resulted from increased construction and development projects in process, primarily at the Manyar smelter and precious metals refinery in Indonesia (collectively, the Indonesia smelter projects).

Share Repurchase Program and Dividends. Since mid-2021, FCX has acquired 47.8 million shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program for a total cost of $1.8 billion ($38.35 average cost per share). No shares have been purchased since July 11, 2022, and FCX has $3.2 billion available for repurchases under the program.

On June 21, 2023, FCX’s Board of Directors (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 was paid on August 1, 2023, to common stockholders of record as of July 14, 2023.

The declaration and payment of dividends (base or variable) and timing and amount of any share repurchases are at the discretion of FCX’s 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 FCX’s Board or management, as applicable. FCX’s share repurchase program may be modified, increased, suspended or terminated at any time at the Board’s discretion.

NOTE 6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FCX does not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments unless there is an existing asset or obligation, or it anticipates a future activity that is likely to occur and will result in exposure to market risks, which FCX intends to offset or mitigate. FCX does not enter into any derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes but has entered into derivative financial instruments in limited instances to achieve specific objectives. These objectives principally relate to managing risks associated with commodity price changes, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

Commodity Contracts.  From time to time, FCX has entered into derivative contracts to hedge the market risk associated with fluctuations in the prices of commodities it purchases and sells. Derivative financial instruments used by FCX to manage its risks do not contain credit risk-related contingent provisions.

A discussion of FCX’s other derivative contracts and programs follows.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Fair Value Hedges.
Copper Futures and Swap Contracts. Some of FCX’s U.S. copper rod and cathode customers request a fixed market price instead of the Commodity Exchange Inc. (COMEX) average copper price in the month of shipment. FCX hedges this price exposure in a manner that allows it to receive the COMEX average price in the month of shipment while the customers pay the fixed price they requested. FCX accomplishes this by entering into copper futures or swap contracts. Hedging gains or losses from these copper futures and swap contracts are recorded in revenues. FCX did not have any significant gains or losses resulting from hedge ineffectiveness during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. At June 30, 2023, FCX held copper futures and swap contracts that qualified for hedge accounting for 88 million pounds at an average contract price of $3.88 per pound, with maturities through May 2025.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments.
Embedded Derivatives. Certain FCX sales contracts provide for provisional pricing primarily based on the London Metal Exchange (LME) copper price or the COMEX copper price and the London Bullion Market Association (London) gold price at the time of shipment as specified in the contract. FCX receives market prices based on prices in the specified future month, which results in price fluctuations recorded in revenues until the date of settlement. FCX records revenues and invoices customers at the time of shipment based on then-current LME or COMEX copper prices and the London gold price as specified in the contracts, which results in an embedded derivative (i.e., a pricing mechanism that is finalized after the time of delivery) that is required to be bifurcated from the host contract. The host contract is the sale of the metals contained in the concentrate, cathode or anode slimes at the then-current LME copper, COMEX copper or London gold prices. FCX applies the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception in accordance with derivatives and hedge accounting guidance to the host contract in its concentrate, cathode and anode slime sales agreements since these contracts do not allow for net settlement and always result in physical delivery. The embedded derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting and is adjusted to fair value through earnings each period, using the period-end LME or COMEX copper forward prices and the adjusted London gold price, until the date of final pricing. Similarly, FCX purchases copper under contracts that provide for provisional pricing. Mark-to-market price fluctuations from these embedded derivatives are recorded through the settlement date and are reflected in revenues for sales contracts and in inventory for purchase contracts.

A summary of FCX’s embedded derivatives at June 30, 2023, follows:

Copper Forward Contracts. Atlantic Copper, FCX’s wholly owned smelting and refining unit in Spain, enters into copper forward contracts designed to hedge its copper price risk whenever its physical purchases and sales pricing periods do not match. These economic hedge transactions are intended to hedge against changes in copper prices, with the mark-to-market hedging gains or losses recorded in production and delivery costs. At June 30, 2023, Atlantic Copper held net copper forward purchase contracts for 7 million pounds at an average contract price of $3.81 per pound, with maturities through August 2023.

Credit Risk.  FCX is exposed to credit loss when financial institutions with which it has entered into derivative transactions (commodity, foreign exchange and interest rate swaps) are unable to pay. To minimize the risk of such losses, FCX uses counterparties that meet certain credit requirements and periodically reviews the creditworthiness of these counterparties. As of June 30, 2023, the maximum amount of credit exposure associated with derivative transactions was $37 million.

Other Financial Instruments.  Other financial instruments include cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investment securities, legally restricted trust assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued income taxes, dividends payable and debt. The carrying value for these financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities approximates fair value because of their short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses (refer to Note 7 for the fair values of investment securities, legally restricted funds and debt).

In addition, as of June 30, 2023, FCX had contingent consideration assets related to the sales of certain oil and gas properties (refer to Note 7 for the related fair values).

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value accounting guidance includes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). FCX did not have any significant transfers in or out of Level 3 during second-quarter 2023.

FCX’s financial instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value except for contingent consideration associated with the sale of the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GOM) oil and gas properties (which was recorded under the loss recovery approach) and debt. A summary of the carrying amount and fair value of FCX’s financial instruments (including those measured at net asset value (NAV) as a practical expedient), other than cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued income taxes and dividends payable (refer to Note 6) follows (in millions):

Valuation Techniques. The U.S. core fixed income fund is valued at NAV. The fund strategy seeks total return consisting of income and capital appreciation primarily by investing in a broad range of investment-grade debt securities, including U.S. government obligations, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and money market instruments. There are no restrictions on redemptions (which are usually within one business day of notice).

Equity securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded and, as such, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fixed income securities (government securities, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and collateralized mortgage-backed securities) are valued using a bid-evaluation price or a mid-evaluation price. These evaluations are based on quoted prices, if available, or models that use observable inputs and, as such, are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
17

Table of Contents                 
Money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets.

FCX’s embedded derivatives on provisional copper concentrate, copper cathode and gold purchases and sales are valued using quoted monthly LME or COMEX copper forward prices and the adjusted London gold price at each reporting date based on the month of maturity (refer to Note 6 for further discussion); however, FCX’s contracts themselves are not traded on an exchange. As a result, these derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

FCX’s derivative financial instruments for copper futures and swap contracts and copper forward contracts that are traded on the respective exchanges are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted monthly COMEX or LME prices at each reporting date based on the month of maturity (refer to Note 6 for further discussion). Certain of these contracts are traded on the over-the-counter market and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on COMEX and LME forward prices.

In December 2016, FCX’s sale of its Deepwater GOM oil and gas properties included up to $150 million in contingent consideration that was recorded at the total amount under the loss recovery approach. The contingent consideration is being received over time as cash flows are realized from a third-party production handling agreement for an offshore platform, with the related payments commencing in 2018. The contingent consideration included in (i) other current assets totaled $17 million at June 30, 2023, and $20 million at December 31, 2022, and (ii) other assets totaled $42 million at June 30, 2023, and $47 million at December 31, 2022. The fair value of this contingent consideration was calculated based on a discounted cash flow model using inputs that include third-party estimates for reserves, production rates and production timing, and discount rates. Because significant inputs are not observable in the market, the contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Long-term debt, including current portion, is primarily valued using available market quotes and, as such, is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The techniques described above may produce a fair value that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while FCX believes its valuation techniques are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different techniques or assumptions to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the techniques used at June 30, 2023, as compared with those techniques used at December 31, 2022.

A summary of the changes in the fair value of FCX’s Level 3 instrument, contingent consideration for the sale of the Deepwater GOM oil and gas properties, during the first six months of 2023 follows (in millions):

Litigation
There were no significant updates to previously reported legal proceedings included in Note 12 of FCX’s 2022 Form 10-K, other than the matter discussed below.

Louisiana Parishes Coastal Erosion Cases. Certain FCX affiliates were named as defendants, along with numerous co-defendants, in 13 cases out of a total of 42 cases filed in Louisiana state courts by 6 south Louisiana parishes (Cameron, Jefferson, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. John the Baptist and Vermilion), alleging that certain oil and gas exploration and production operations and sulfur mining and production operations in coastal Louisiana contaminated and damaged coastal wetlands and caused significant land loss along the Louisiana coast. In 2019, affiliates of FCX reached an agreement in principle to settle all 13 cases and, as of October 2022, all parties have executed the settlement agreement. On March 16, 2023, a non-plaintiff coastal parish included in the settlement (Terrebonne), filed an amended petition titled Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government vs. Louisiana Department of Natural Resources et al., Docket No. 185576, in the 32nd Judicial District Court, Terrebonne Parish, State of Louisiana, adding the settling FCX affiliates to a lawsuit that challenges whether Terrebonne Parish is validly bound to the settlement agreement and seeks to have the court declare the settlement void. FCX is evaluating and exploring options to resolve this dispute and will vigorously defend this matter.

Other Matters
Indonesia Regulatory Matters
Over the past several years, the Indonesia government has enacted various laws and regulations to promote downstream processing of various minerals, including copper concentrates.

Export License. On June 10, 2023, export licenses for several exporters, including PT-FI, expired. During the second quarter and through July 2023, the Indonesia government issued various regulations to address exports of unrefined metals, including regulations by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) to allow continued exports of copper concentrates through May 2024 for companies engaged in ongoing smelter development projects with construction progress greater than 50%, and regulations by the Ministry of Trade on the permitted export of various products, including copper concentrates.

On July 24, 2023, PT-FI was granted an export license through May 2024 for 1.7 million metric tons of copper concentrate. PT-FI will continue to work with the Indonesia government to obtain approvals to continue exports until the Manyar smelter is fully commissioned and has reached designed operating conditions.

Export Duties. Under PT-FI’s special mining license (IUPK), export duties are determined based on regulations that were in effect in 2018, which provided that no duties are required after smelter construction progress reached 50%. In March 2023, the Indonesia government verified that construction progress on the Manyar smelter exceeded 50% and PT-FI's export duties were eliminated effective March 29, 2023.

In July 2023, the Ministry of Finance issued a revised regulation on duties for various exported products, including copper concentrates. The revised regulation assesses export duties for copper concentrates at 7.5% in the second half of 2023 and 10% in 2024 for companies with smelter progress of 70% to 90%. For companies with smelter progress above 90%, export duties would be 5% in the second half of 2023 and 7.5% in 2024. PT-FI is continuing to discuss the applicability of the revised regulation with the Indonesia government and will contest, and seek recovery of, any assessments.

Smelter Development Progress. In 2018, PT-FI agreed to expand its domestic smelting and refining capacity to process all of its copper concentrates in Indonesia. PT-FI is advancing the construction of the Indonesia smelter projects and expanding capacity at PT Smelting. PT-FI estimates construction of the Manyar smelter to be complete in mid-2024 followed by commissioning of the facilities and a ramp-up schedule through year-end 2024.

As disclosed in Note 12 of FCX’s 2022 Form 10-K, in March 2022, PT-FI paid the Indonesia government an administrative fine totaling $57 million (which included charges of $41 million recorded in first-quarter 2022) related to smelter development delays in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In May 2023, MEMR issued a decree prescribing a revised formula for administrative fines for delays in construction of smelter and refining facilities, taking into account allowances for certain delays associated with the COVID-19 pandemic as verified by a third-party. In mid-July 2023, PT-FI submitted its third-party verified calculation, which resulted in an accrual for a potential administrative fine of $55 million based on the formula prescribed by the decree related to the period from August 2020 through January 2022. PT-FI continues to discuss the applicability of this
19

Table of Contents                 
administrative fine with MEMR. Based on PT-FI’s revised smelter construction schedule, which was accepted by the Indonesia government in connection with the renewal of PT-FI's export license in early 2022, PT-FI does not believe any additional fines should be assessed under the decree.

Smelter Bond. The May 2023 decree by MEMR also requires an assurance bond to be held in escrow until project completion. PT-FI has an existing assurance bond to support its commitment for additional smelter development in Indonesia, which totals $134 million at June 30, 2023 (refer to Note 7), and may be required to make an additional refundable deposit of approximately $250 million in connection with the May 2023 decree.

Export Proceeds. The Indonesia government issued a regulation that became effective August 1, 2023, that requires 30% of PT-FI’s gross export proceeds to be temporarily deposited into Indonesia banks for a period of 90 days before withdrawal. PT-FI is reviewing implementing guidelines associated with this regulation.

NOTE 9. 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, timing of sales to unaffiliated customers and transportation premiums.

FCX defers recognizing profits on sales from its mining operations to Atlantic Copper (and on 39.5% of PT-FI’s sales to PT Smelting for the 2022 periods) until final sales to third parties occur. Quarterly variations in ore grades, the timing of intercompany shipments and changes in product prices result in variability in FCX’s net deferred profits and quarterly earnings.

Beginning January 1, 2023, PT-FI's commercial arrangement with PT Smelting converted from a copper concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement. Under this arrangement, PT-FI pays PT Smelting a tolling fee to smelt and refine its copper concentrate and PT-FI retains title to all products for sale to third parties (i.e., there are no further sales from PT-FI to PT Smelting). While the new tolling agreement with PT Smelting does not significantly change PT-FI’s economics, it impacts the timing of PT-FI’s sales and working capital requirements.

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 Financial Information by Business Segment 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Freeport-McMoRan Inc.

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (the Company) as of June 30, 2023, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and equity for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2022, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 15, 2023, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

In Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A), “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX) and its consolidated subsidiaries. You should read this discussion in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, the related MD&A and the discussion of our Business and Properties in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (2022 Form 10-K), filed with the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The results of operations reported and summarized below are not necessarily indicative of future operating results (refer to “Cautionary Statement” for further discussion). References to “Notes” are Notes included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited). Throughout MD&A, all references to income or losses per share are on a diluted basis. Our website is for information only and the contents of our website or information connected thereto are not incorporated in, or otherwise to be regarded as part of, this Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW

We are a leading international mining company with headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. We operate large, long-lived, geographically diverse assets with significant proven and probable mineral reserves of copper, gold and molybdenum. We are one of the world’s largest publicly traded copper producers. Our portfolio of assets includes the Grasberg minerals district in Indonesia, one of the world’s largest copper and gold deposits; and significant mining operations in North America and South America, including the large-scale Morenci minerals district in Arizona and the Cerro Verde operation in Peru.

Our results for the second quarter and first six months of 2023 reflect solid operating performance and execution of our business strategy. We continue to focus on managing costs efficiently and are advancing several important value-enhancing initiatives. We remain confident in our long-lived and high-quality asset base and have a favorable long-term outlook for copper, which will enable solid performance in the future. We believe we have a strong balance sheet and a positive outlook for cash flow generation to support continued organic growth and cash returns to shareholders.

Our near-term organic development pipeline is highlighted by our leach innovation initiatives, which we believe have the potential to provide substantial value from our existing leach material and reduce capital intensity for future projects. We are currently targeting an annual run rate of approximately 200 million pounds of copper per year through these initiatives by the end of 2023, with potentially larger opportunities in the future. We also continue to progress our underground development activities at Grasberg, supporting large-scale, long-lived, low-cost operations. Refer to “Operations” for further discussion.

Net income attributable to common stockholders totaled $343 million in second-quarter 2023 and $1.0 billion for the first six months of 2023, compared with $840 million in second-quarter 2022 and $2.4 billion for the first six months of 2022, primarily reflecting lower copper sales volumes resulting from shipping delays associated with the renewal of PT Freeport Indonesia’s (PT-FI) export license, lower copper prices, the change in our economic interest in PT-FI (refer to Note 1) and increased costs for maintenance and supplies. The results of the first six months of 2023 also reflect lower copper and gold sales volumes as a result of the deferral of sales recognition related to the PT Smelting tolling arrangement (refer to Note 9 for further discussion). Refer to “Consolidated Results” for further discussion of these impacts.

On July 24, 2023, PT-FI was granted an export license through May 2024 for 1.7 million metric tons of copper concentrate. Refer to Note 8 and “Operations – Indonesia Mining” for further discussion of Indonesia regulatory matters.

At June 30, 2023, we had consolidated debt of $9.5 billion and consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $6.7 billion, resulting in net debt of $2.8 billion ($0.9 billion excluding net debt for the Manyar smelter and precious metals refinery (PMR) in Indonesia - collectively, the Indonesia smelter projects). Refer to “Net Debt” for reconciliations of consolidated debt and consolidated cash and cash equivalents to net debt.

Beginning in 2022 and through August 3, 2023, we purchased $1.3 billion aggregate principal amount of our senior notes in open-market transactions for a total cost of $1.2 billion, including $131 million aggregate principal amount in the second quarter and first six months of 2023.

At June 30, 2023, we had $3.0 billion of availability under our revolving credit facility, and PT-FI and Cerro Verde had $1.3 billion and $350 million, respectively, of availability under their respective revolving credit facilities.

Refer to Note 5 and “Capital Resources and Liquidity” for further discussion of our debt balances and transactions.

OUTLOOK
 
As further discussed in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. of our 2022 Form 10-K, our financial results vary as a result of fluctuations in market prices primarily for copper, gold and, to a lesser extent, molybdenum, as well as other factors. World market prices for these commodities have fluctuated historically and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control. Refer to “Markets” below for further discussion. Because we cannot control the prices of our products, the key measures that management focuses on in operating our business are sales volumes, unit net cash costs, operating cash flows and capital expenditures.

As discussed in Note 8, the Indonesia government issued a revised regulation on duties for various exported products, including copper concentrates. Export duties that may be assessed under this revised regulation are not reflected in our projected financial results for the second half of 2023. Based on current sales volume and metal price estimates, a 7.5% export duty on PT-FI sales during the second half of 2023 is estimated to impact consolidated revenues by approximately $250 million ($80 million to net income attributable to common stock) for the year 2023, including approximately $120 million ($40 million to net income attributable to common stock) in third-quarter 2023. PT-FI is continuing to discuss the applicability of the revised regulation with the Indonesia government and will contest, and seek recovery of, any assessments.

Consolidated Sales Volumes
Following are our projected consolidated sales volumes for the year 2023:
Copper (millions of recoverable pounds):
 
North America copper mines1,376 
South America mining1,202 
Indonesia mining1,439 
Total4,017 
Gold (millions of recoverable ounces)
1.75 
Molybdenum (millions of recoverable pounds)
79 
a
a.Projected molybdenum sales include 50 million pounds produced by our North America and South America copper mines and 29 million pounds produced by our Molybdenum mines.

Consolidated sales volumes in third-quarter 2023 are expected to approximate 1.0 billion pounds of copper, 420 thousand ounces of gold and 20 million pounds of molybdenum. Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance, weather-related conditions, timing of shipments and other factors detailed in the “Cautionary Statement” below.

For other important factors that could cause results to differ materially from projections, refer to “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A. of our 2022 Form 10-K.

Consolidated Unit Net Cash Costs
Assuming average prices of $1,950 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum for the remainder of 2023 and achievement of current volume and cost estimates, consolidated unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for our copper mines are expected to average $1.55 per pound of copper for the year 2023 (including $1.61 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2023). 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 the remainder of 2023 on consolidated unit net cash costs for the year 2023 would approximate $0.03 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 $2.00 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.

Estimated consolidated unit net cash costs for the second half of 2023 do not include a 7.5% export duty at PT-FI that may be assessed under the revised regulation (refer to Note 8 for further discussion). Based on current sales volume and metal price estimates, the assessment of a 7.5% export duty on PT-FI sales during the second half of
27

Table of Contents                 
2023 is estimated to increase consolidated unit net cash costs by $0.07 per pound of copper for the year 2023 (including $0.12 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2023).

Consolidated Operating Cash Flows
Our consolidated operating cash flows vary with sales volumes; prices realized from copper, gold and molybdenum sales; production costs; income taxes; other working capital changes; and other factors. Based on current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming average prices of $3.90 per pound for copper, $1,950 per ounce for gold, and $20.00 per pound for molybdenum for the remainder of 2023, our consolidated operating cash flows are estimated to approximate $6.4 billion (net of less than $0.1 billion of working capital and other uses) for the year 2023. Estimated consolidated operating cash flows for the year 2023 also reflect an estimated income tax provision of $2.4 billion (refer to “Consolidated Results – Income Taxes” for further discussion of our projected income tax rate for the year 2023). The impact of price changes for the remainder of 2023 on operating cash flows would approximate $240 million for each $0.10 per pound change in the average price of copper, $100 million for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $60 million for each $2.00 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.

Estimated consolidated operating cash flows for the second half of 2023 do not include a 7.5% export duty at PT-FI that may be assessed under the revised regulation (refer to Note 8 for further discussion of the revised regulation).

Consolidated Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $4.8 billion for the year 2023 (including $2.0 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 $0.7 billion for discretionary growth projects, primarily for development of Kucing Liar, a mill recovery project with the installation of a new copper cleaner circuit at PT-FI, and expansion projects at Bagdad and Lone Star. We closely monitor market conditions and will continue to adjust our operating plans, including capital expenditures, to protect our liquidity and preserve our asset values, as necessary.

Capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects are being funded with proceeds from PT-FI's senior notes and availability under its revolving credit facility.

MARKETS

World prices for copper, gold and molybdenum can fluctuate significantly. During the period from January 2013 through June 2023, the London Metal Exchange (LME) copper settlement price varied from a low of $1.96 per pound in 2016 to a record high of $4.87 per pound in 2022; the London Bullion Market Association (London) PM gold price fluctuated from a low of $1,049 per ounce in 2015 to a record high of $2,067 per ounce in 2020; and the Platts Metals Daily Molybdenum Dealer Oxide weekly average price ranged from a low of $4.46 per pound in 2015 to a high of $37.42 per pound in 2023. Copper, gold and molybdenum prices are affected by numerous factors beyond our control as described further in “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A. of our 2022 Form 10-K.

Copper Image 2Q23.jpg
This graph presents LME copper settlement prices and the combined reported stocks of copper at the LME, Commodity Exchange Inc., and the Shanghai Futures Exchange from January 2013 through June 2023. During second-quarter 2023, LME copper settlement prices ranged from a low of $3.59 per pound to a high of $4.12 per pound, averaged $3.84 per pound and settled at $3.72 per pound on June 30, 2023. Volatility continued to be high across the copper market in second-quarter 2023, influenced by China’s weak economic data and wide-ranging views about the global economy. Physical market tightness continues to provide significant support to the price of copper, and inventory levels remain low with slightly less than two and a half days of global consumption available. The LME copper settlement price was $3.92 per pound on July 31, 2023.

We believe long-term fundamentals for copper are favorable and that future demand will be supported by copper’s role in the global transition to renewable power, electric vehicles and other carbon-reduction initiatives, and continued urbanization in developing countries. The small number of approved, large-scale projects beyond those that have been announced, the long lead times required to permit and build new mines and declining ore grades at existing operations continue to highlight the fundamental supply challenges for copper.

Forecasts are divided as analysts evaluate climbing treasury yields, the strength of the U.S. dollar, the potential lagged impact of a significant cumulative rate-hiking cycle, and elevated geopolitical risk. The London PM gold price was $1,971 per ounce on July 31, 2023.

This graph presents the Platts Metals Daily Molybdenum Dealer Oxide weekly average price from January 2013 through June 2023. During second-quarter 2023, the weekly average price of molybdenum ranged from a low of $17.09 per pound to a high of $22.75 per pound, averaged $21.25 per pound and was $21.96 per pound on June 30, 2023. Following sharp price increases in early 2023, China increased exports of molybdenum and Chinese buyers moderated purchases, causing significant price declines near the end of first-quarter 2023. During second-quarter 2023, buyers reentered the market and supply remained tight amidst level molybdenum demand supported by segments such as energy, aerospace and defense. We believe long-term fundamentals for molybdenum are positive with favorable demand drivers and limited supply. The Platts Metals Daily Molybdenum Dealer Oxide weekly average price was $22.89 per pound on July 31, 2023.

a.Beginning on January 1, 2023, PT-FI’s commercial arrangement with PT Smelting converted from a copper concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement, which resulted in a change in timing of sales. At June 30, 2023, approximately 85 million pounds of copper and 40 thousand ounces of gold from PT-FI's production was deferred in inventory and will be sold as refined metal in future periods.
b.Reflects per pound weighted-average production and delivery costs and unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for all copper mines, before net noncash and other costs. For reconciliations of per pound unit net cash costs (credits) by operating division to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in our consolidated financial statements, refer to “Product Revenues and Production Costs.”

Revenues
Consolidated revenues totaled $5.7 billion in second-quarter 2023, $5.4 billion in second-quarter 2022, $11.1 billion for the first six months of 2023 and $12.0 billion for the first six months of 2022. Revenues from our mining operations and processing facilities primarily include the sale of copper in concentrate, copper cathode, copper rod, gold in concentrate and molybdenum. Refer to Note 9 for a summary of product revenues.

Following is a summary of changes in our consolidated revenues between periods (in millions):

Sales Volumes. Consolidated copper sales volumes decreased in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, compared to second quarter and first six months of 2022, primarily as a result of shipping delays in Indonesia associated with the renewal of PT-FI's export license and lower ore grades in North America. Lower copper and gold

Table of Contents                 
sales volumes for the first six months of 2023, compared to the 2022 period, also reflects the deferral of sales recognition related to the PT Smelting tolling arrangement.

Realized Prices. Our consolidated revenues can vary significantly as a result of fluctuations in the market prices of copper, gold and molybdenum. Average realized prices in second-quarter 2023, compared with second-quarter 2022, were 5% lower for copper, 6% higher for gold and 25% higher for molybdenum, and average realized prices for the first six months of 2023, compared with the first six months of 2022, were 6% lower for copper, 5% higher for gold and 41% higher for molybdenum.
Average realized copper prices include net unfavorable adjustments to current period provisionally priced copper sales totaling $52 million in second-quarter 2023, $365 million in second-quarter 2022, $121 million for the first six months of 2023 and $567 million for the first six months of 2022. As discussed in Note 6, all of our 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 LME monthly average copper prices. We record revenues and invoice customers at the time of shipment based on then-current LME prices, which results in an embedded derivative on provisionally priced copper 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. To the extent final prices are higher or lower than what was recorded on a provisional basis, an increase or decrease to revenues is recorded each reporting period until the date of final pricing. Accordingly, in times of rising copper prices, our revenues benefit from adjustments to the final pricing of provisionally priced sales pursuant to contracts entered into in prior periods; in times of falling copper prices, the opposite occurs.

Net (unfavorable) favorable adjustments to prior periods’ provisionally priced copper sales (i.e., provisionally priced sales at March 31, 2023 and 2022, and December 31, 2022 and 2021) recorded in consolidated revenues totaled $(118) million in second-quarter 2023, $(355) million in second-quarter 2022, $182 million for the first six months of 2023 and $65 million the first six months of 2022. Refer to Notes 6 and 9 for a summary of total adjustments to prior period and current period provisionally priced sales.

At June 30, 2023, we had provisionally priced copper sales totaling 271 million pounds of copper (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average of $3.77 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. We estimate that each $0.05 change in the price realized from the June 30, 2023, provisional price recorded would have an approximate $8 million effect on our 2023 net income attributable to common stock. The LME copper price settled at $3.92 per pound on July 31, 2023.

Atlantic Copper Revenues. Atlantic Copper revenues totaled $748 million in second-quarter 2023 and $1.5 billion for the first six months of 2023, compared with $433 million in second-quarter 2022 and $1.2 billion for the first six months of 2022. Higher revenues in the 2023 periods, compared with 2022 periods, primarily reflects higher sales volumes in the 2023 periods, mostly reflecting the impact of reduced operations in second-quarter 2022 because of a scheduled major maintenance turnaround.

Purchased Copper. We purchase copper cathode primarily for processing by our Rod & Refining operations. The volumes of copper purchases vary depending on cathode production from our operations and totaled 19 million pounds in second-quarter 2023, 23 million pounds in second-quarter 2022, 67 million pounds for the first six months of 2023 and 38 million pounds for the first six months of 2022.

Treatment Charges. Revenues from our copper concentrate sales are recorded net of treatment charges (i.e., fees paid to smelters that are generally negotiated annually), which will vary with the sales volumes and the price of copper. The increase in the treatment charges in second-quarter 2023, compared to second-quarter 2022, primarily reflects higher treatment charges for South America copper concentrate, partly offset by lower copper concentrate sales volumes. The decrease in the treatment charges for the first six months of 2023, compared with the first six months of 2022, primarily reflects lower copper concentrate sales volumes and PT-FI’s commercial arrangement with PT Smelting converting from a copper concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement. Costs incurred under the tolling arrangement are recorded as production costs in the consolidated statements of income (refer to Note 9).

Table of Contents                 
Royalties and Export Duties. Royalties are primarily associated with PT-FI sales and vary with the volume of metal sold and the prices of copper and gold. In late 2022, the export duty rate on PT-FI’s sales declined from 5% to 2.5% as a result of smelter development progress. In March 2023, the Indonesia government verified that construction progress on the Manyar smelter exceeded 50%, which resulted in the elimination of export duties effective March 29, 2023.

Lower royalties and export duties during the 2023 periods, compared with the 2022 periods, reflect lower PT-FI copper sales volumes and the reduction in and subsequent elimination of export duties.

In July 2023, the Indonesia government issued a revised regulation on duties for various exported products, including copper concentrates. PT-FI is continuing to discuss the applicability of the revised regulation with the Indonesia government and will contest, and seek recovery of, any assessments. Refer to Note 8 and “Outlook” for further discussion.

Production and Delivery Costs
Consolidated production and delivery costs totaled $3.5 billion in second-quarter 2023, $3.0 billion in second-quarter 2022, $6.7 billion for the first six months of 2023 and $6.2 billion for the first six months of 2022. Higher costs in second-quarter 2023, compared to second-quarter 2022, primarily reflected increased costs at PT-FI associated with higher operating rates and increased underground maintenance costs. Higher costs for the first six months of 2023, compared to the first six months of 2022, also reflected higher commodity-related costs across our operations.

Site Production and Delivery Costs Per Pound. Site production and delivery costs for our copper mining operations primarily include labor, energy and other commodity-based inputs, such as sulfuric acid, explosives, steel, reagents, liners and tires. Consolidated site production and delivery costs (before net noncash and other costs) for our copper mines averaged $2.39 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2023, $2.09 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2022, $2.47 per pound of copper for the first six months of 2023 and $2.06 per pound of copper for the first six months of 2022. Refer to “Operations – Unit Net Cash Costs” for further discussion of unit net cash costs (credits) associated with our operating divisions and to “Product Revenues and Production Costs” for reconciliations of per pound costs by operating division to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in our consolidated financial statements.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
Depreciation will vary under the unit-of-production (UOP) method as a result of changes in sales volumes and the related UOP rates at our mining operations. Consolidated depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) totaled $547 million in second-quarter 2023, $507 million in second-quarter 2022, $946 million for the first six months of 2023 and $996 million for the first six months of 2022.

Environmental Obligations and Shutdown Costs
Environmental obligation costs reflect net revisions to our long-term environmental obligations, which vary from period to period because of changes to environmental laws and regulations, the settlement of environmental matters and/or circumstances affecting our operations that could result in significant changes in our estimates. Shutdown costs include care-and-maintenance costs and any litigation, remediation or related expenditures associated with closed facilities or operations. Higher net charges for environmental obligations and shutdown costs in the 2023 periods, compared to the 2022 periods, primarily reflect net revisions to long-term historical environmental obligations totaling $60 million in second-quarter 2023 and $116 million for the first six months of 2023, compared to $13 million for both the second quarter and first six months of 2022.

Interest Expense, Net
Consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) totaled $234 million in second-quarter 2023, $189 million in second-quarter 2022, $441 million for the first six months of 2023 and $342 million for the first six months of 2022. The increase in consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) for the 2023 periods, compared to the 2022 periods, primarily reflects interest charges recognized for Cerro Verde’s contested tax rulings by the Peruvian Supreme Court, which totaled $50 million in second-quarter 2023 and $74 million for the first six months of 2023. Higher consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) for the first six months of 2023 also reflected higher interest associated with PT-FI’s $3.0 billion of senior notes that were issued in April 2022.

Capitalized interest varies with the level of qualifying assets associated with our development projects and average interest rates on our borrowings. Capitalized interest totaled $62 million in second-quarter 2023, $33 million in
35

Table of Contents                 
second-quarter 2022, $119 million for the first six months of 2023 and $59 million for the first six months of 2022. The increase in capitalized interest costs in the 2023 periods, compared to the 2022 periods, resulted from increased construction and development projects in process, primarily for the Indonesia smelter projects. Refer to “Capital Resources and Liquidity – Investing Activities” for discussion of capital expenditures associated with our major development projects.

Other Income, Net
Other income, net totaled $24 million in second-quarter 2023, $11 million in second-quarter 2022, $112 million for the first six months of 2023 and $42 million for the first six months of 2022. The increase in other income, net primarily reflects higher interest income of $66 million for the quarterly periods and $150 million for the six month periods, partly offset by a $69 million charge in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 associated with Cerro Verde’s contested tax rulings by the Peruvian Supreme Court.

d.Includes net charges associated with Cerro Verde’s contested tax rulings by the Peruvian Supreme Court totaling $142 million for the first six months of 2023.
e.In accordance with applicable accounting rules, we adjust our interim provision for income taxes equal to our consolidated tax rate.
The provisions of the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the Act) became applicable to us 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. We have made interpretations of certain provisions of the Act, and based on these interpretations, determined that the provisions of the Act did not impact our 2023 financial results for the first six months of 2023. However, future guidance released by the Treasury may differ from our interpretations, which could be material and may further limit our ability to realize future benefits from our U.S. net operating losses.

Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and average prices of $3.90 per pound for copper, $1,950 per ounce for gold and $20.00 per pound for molybdenum for the remainder of 2023, we estimate our consolidated effective tax rate for the year 2023 would approximate 36%. Changes in projected sales volumes and average prices during 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. Our 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.

Noncontrolling Interests
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is primarily associated with our noncontrolling shareholders at PT-FI, Cerro Verde and El Abra and totaled $388 million in second-quarter 2023, $198 million in second-quarter 2022, $774 million for the first six months of 2023 and $575 million for the first six months of 2022. Our economic interest in PT-FI approximated 81% through 2022, and beginning January 1, 2023, our economic interest in PT-FI is 48.76%. As discussed in Note 3 of our 2022 Form 10-K, in accordance with provisions pertaining to PT-FI’s shareholders agreement, first-quarter 2023 net income included a $35 million net benefit associated with PT-FI sales volumes that were attributed to us at our previous approximate 81% economic ownership interest. Refer to Note 9 for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for each of our business segments.

Based on current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming average prices of $3.90 per pound of copper, $1,950 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum and taking into account the change in our economic interest in PT-FI, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is estimated to approximate $2.0 billion for the year 2023. The actual amount will depend on many factors, including relative performance of each business segment, commodity prices, costs and other factors.

OPERATIONS

Leaching Innovation Initiatives
We are advancing a series of initiatives across our North America and South America operations to incorporate new applications, technologies and data analytics to our leaching processes. We believe these leach innovation initiatives provide opportunities to produce incremental copper from our large existing leach stockpiles. Initial results support the potential for incremental low-cost additions to our production and reserve profile and we are targeting an annual run rate of approximately 200 million pounds of copper per year through these initiatives by the end of 2023. We are pursuing new technology applications that have the potential for significant increases in recoverable metal beyond the initial target.

Feasibility and Optimization Studies
We are engaged in various studies associated with potential future expansion projects primarily at our mining operations. The costs for these studies are charged to production and delivery costs as incurred and totaled $51 million in second-quarter 2023, $31 million in second-quarter 2022, $101 million for the first six months of 2023 and $50 million for the first six months of 2022. We estimate the costs of these studies will approximate $200 million for the year 2023 (including approximately $60 million in third-quarter 2023), subject to market conditions and other factors.

North America Copper Mines
We operate 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. All of the North America mining operations are wholly owned, except for Morenci. We record our 72% undivided joint venture interest in Morenci using the proportionate consolidation method.

The North America copper mines include open-pit mining, sulfide-ore concentrating, leaching and solution extraction/electrowinning (SX/EW) operations. A majority of the copper produced at our North America copper mines is cast into copper rod by our Rod & Refining segment. The remainder of our North America copper production is sold as copper cathode or copper concentrate, a portion of which is shipped to Atlantic Copper (our wholly owned smelter). Molybdenum concentrate, gold and silver are also produced by certain of our North America copper mines.

Operating and Development Activities. We have substantial reserves and future opportunities in the U.S., primarily associated with existing mining operations.

We are planning an expansion to double the concentrator capacity of the Bagdad operation in northwest Arizona and expect to complete a feasibility study in late 2023. In parallel, we are advancing plans for expanded tailings infrastructure projects to support Bagdad's long-range plans.

Table of Contents                 
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. We have conducted significant exploration drilling in the area in recent years. The positive drilling results indicate potential opportunities to expand production to include sulfide ores in the future. We are advancing metallurgical testing and mine planning for a potential significant long-term investment for development of identified large sulfide resources.

A tight labor market and increased competition from other employers in North America continue to represent strategic challenges that are impacting production and our ability to further expand current mining rates. The timing of all future developments will be dependent on market conditions, labor and supply chain considerations and other economic factors.

Our consolidated copper sales volumes from North America totaled 339 million pounds in second-quarter 2023, 389 million pounds in second-quarter 2022, 671 million pounds for the first six months of 2023 and 770 million pounds for the first six months of 2022. Lower copper sales volumes in the 2023 periods, compared with the 2022 periods, primarily reflect lower ore grades and the timing of shipments, partly offset by incremental copper associated with leach initiatives. North America copper sales are estimated to approximate 1.4 billion pounds for the year 2023.

Unit Net Cash Costs. We believe unit net cash costs per pound of copper is a measure that provides investors with information about the cash-generating capacity of our mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for our respective operations. We use this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by our mining operations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This measure is presented by other metals mining companies, although our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Our North America copper mines have varying cost structures because of differences in ore grades and characteristics, processing costs, by-product credits and other factors. Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines of $2.51 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2023 and $2.48 per pound for the first six months of 2023 were higher than second-quarter 2022 unit net cash costs of $2.26 per pound and $2.19 per pound for the first six months for 2022, reflecting the impact of lower volumes and increased

costs of maintenance, supplies and labor, partly offset by higher molybdenum by-product credits and lower costs of energy.

Because certain assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, North America’s average unit depreciation rate may vary with asset additions and the level of copper production and sales.

Revenue adjustments primarily result from changes in prices on provisionally priced copper sales recognized in prior periods. Refer to “Consolidated Results – Revenues” for further discussion of adjustments to prior period provisionally priced copper sales.

Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for our North America copper mines are expected to approximate $2.56 per pound of copper for the year 2023, based on achievement of current volume and cost estimates and assuming an average molybdenum price of $20.00 per pound for the second half of 2023. North America’s average unit net cash costs for the year 2023 would change by approximately $0.02 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum for the second half of 2023.

South America Mining
We operate two copper mines in South America – Cerro Verde in Peru (in which we own a 53.56% interest) and El Abra in Chile (in which we own a 51% interest), which are consolidated in our financial statements.

South America mining includes open-pit mining, sulfide-ore concentrating, leaching and SX/EW operations. Production from our South America mines is sold as copper concentrate or cathode under long-term contracts. Our South America mines also sell a portion of their copper concentrate production to Atlantic Copper. In addition to copper, the Cerro Verde mine produces molybdenum concentrate and silver.

Operating and Development Activities. El Abra's large sulfide resource supports 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. We are advancing plans 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.

Our consolidated copper sales volumes from South America totaled 304 million pounds in second-quarter 2023, 288 million pounds in second-quarter 2022, 606 million pounds for the first six months of 2023 and 552 million pounds for the first six months of 2022. Higher copper sales volumes in the 2023 periods, compared with the 2022 periods, primarily reflect higher mill ore grades and increased production from leach ore placed on stockpiles. Copper sales from South America mining are expected to approximate 1.2 billion pounds for the year 2023. Refer to “Outlook” for projected molybdenum sales volumes.

Our South America mines have varying cost structures because of differences in ore grades and characteristics, processing costs, by-product credits and other factors. Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America mining were $2.28 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2023, $2.29 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2022, $2.24 per pound of copper for the first six months of 2023 and $2.23 per pound of copper for the first six months of 2022. The impact of higher volumes in the 2023 periods was offset by higher costs of maintenance, supplies and consumables, and increased treatment charges. The first six months of 2023 also reflected the impact of higher molybdenum credits.

Revenues from Cerro Verde’s copper concentrate sales are recorded net of treatment charges, which will vary with Cerro Verde’s sales volumes and the price of copper. Higher treatment charges in the 2023 periods, compared to the 2022 periods, reflected higher smelting and refining rates.

Because certain assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, South America’s unit depreciation rate may vary with asset additions and the level of copper production and sales. Increased DD&A rates per pound of copper in the 2023 periods, compared to the 2022 periods, primarily reflect a correction in the useful lives of certain fixed assets at Cerro Verde, which resulted in additional depreciation being recognized in second-quarter 2023.

Revenue adjustments primarily result from changes in prices on provisionally priced copper sales recognized in prior periods. Refer to “Consolidated Results – Revenues” for further discussion of adjustments to prior period provisionally priced copper sales.

Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America mining are expected to approximate $2.33 per pound of copper for the year 2023, based on current volume and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $20.00 per pound of molybdenum for the second half of 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. We have a 48.76% ownership interest in PT-FI and manage its mining operations. PT-FI's results are consolidated in our financial statements.

Other than copper concentrate delivered to PT Smelting for further processing into refined products, most of PT-FI’s copper concentrate is sold under long-term contracts.

Regulatory Matters. Over the past several years, the Indonesia government has enacted various laws and regulations to promote downstream processing of various minerals, 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 Indonesia smelter projects and expanding capacity at PT Smelting (refer to “Indonesia Smelter” below for further discussion of construction progress).

Export License. On June 10, 2023, a ban on the export of copper concentrate went into effect in accordance with Indonesia regulations and export licenses for several exporters, including PT-FI, expired. During the second quarter and in July 2023, the Indonesia government issued various regulations to address exports of unrefined metals, including regulations by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) to allow continued exports of copper concentrates through May 2024 for companies engaged in ongoing smelter development projects with construction progress greater than 50%, and regulations by the Ministry of Trade on the permitted export of various products, including copper concentrates.

On July 24, 2023, PT-FI was granted an export license through May 2024 for 1.7 million metric tons of copper concentrate. PT-FI will continue to work with the Indonesia government to obtain approvals to continue exports until the Manyar smelter is fully commissioned and has reached designed operating conditions.

Export Duties. Under PT-FI’s special mining license (IUPK), export duties are determined based on regulations that were in effect in 2018, which provided that no duties are required after smelter construction progress reached 50%. In March 2023, the Indonesia government verified that construction progress on the Manyar smelter exceeded 50% and PT-FI's export duties were eliminated effective March 29, 2023.

In July 2023, the Ministry of Finance issued a revised regulation on duties for various exported products, including copper concentrates. PT-FI is continuing to discuss the applicability of the revised regulation with the Indonesia government and will contest, and seek recovery of, any assessments.

Refer to Note 8 for further discussion of the revised export regulation and other Indonesia regulatory matters.

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.

PT-FI’s ongoing project to install additional milling facilities is currently expected to be completed in 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.

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 75%. 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 in 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 $525 million.

For the first six months of 2023, capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects totaled $0.8 billion, and are expected to approximate $1.6 billion for the year 2023. Capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects are being funded with proceeds received from PT-FI's senior notes and availability under its revolving credit facility.

PT-FI’s consolidated copper sales of 386 million pounds in second-quarter 2023 and 584 million pounds for the first six months of 2023 were lower than consolidated copper sales of 410 million pounds in second-quarter 2022 and 789 million pounds for the first six months of 2022, reflecting shipping delays associated with the renewal of PT-FI's export license. PT-FI's consolidated copper sales for the first six months of 2023 also reflects the deferral of sales recognition related to the PT Smelting tolling arrangement.

PT-FI’s consolidated gold sales of 492 thousand ounces in second-quarter 2023 were higher than second-quarter 2022 consolidated gold sales of 474 thousand ounces, primarily reflecting the timing of sales. PT-FI’s consolidated gold sales of 758 thousand ounces for the first six months of 2023 were lower than consolidated gold sales of 880

thousand ounces for the first six months of 2022, primarily reflects the deferral of sales recognition related to the PT Smelting tolling arrangement.

Consolidated sales volumes from PT-FI are expected to approximate 1.4 billion pounds of copper and 1.7 million ounces of gold for the year 2023, net of a deferral of approximately 90 million pounds of copper and 130 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, weather-related conditions and other factors detailed in the “Cautionary Statement.”

Unit Net Cash (Credits) Costs. We believe unit net cash (credits) costs per pound of copper is a measure that provides investors with information about the cash-generating capacity of our mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for our respective operations. We use this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by our 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. This measure is presented by other metals mining companies, although our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Gross Profit per Pound of Copper and per Ounce of Gold
The following table summarizes the unit net cash (credits) costs and gross profit per pound of copper and per ounce of gold at our Indonesia mining operations. Refer to “Product Revenues and Production Costs” for an explanation of “by-product” and “co-product” methods and a reconciliation of unit net cash (credits) costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in our consolidated financial statements.

a.In March 2023, the Indonesia government verified that construction progress of the Manyar smelter exceeded 50% and export duties were eliminated effective March 29, 2023. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion of the revised export duty regulation that was issued by the Indonesia government.
b.Includes a charge totaling $0.14 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2023 and $0.09 per pound of copper for the first six months of 2023 associated with a potential administrative fine. The first six months of 2022 also includes a charge of $0.05 per pound of copper associated with an administrative fine. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion.
c.Includes charges totaling $0.03 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2023 and $0.04 per pound of copper for the first six months 2023 for feasibility and optimization studies.

PT-FI's unit net cash credits (including gold and silver credits) of $0.09 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2023 and $0.08 per pound of copper for the first six months of 2023 were higher than unit net cash credits of $0.02 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2022 and $0.04 per pound of copper for the first six months of 2022, reflecting higher gold and silver credits and lower export duties, partly offset by higher operating rates, increased underground maintenance costs and treatment charges and the impact of lower copper sales volumes.

Treatment charges vary with the volume of metals sold and the price of copper, and royalties vary with the volume of metals sold and the prices of copper and gold. The increase in treatment charges per pound of copper and ounce of gold in the 2023 periods, compared with the 2022 periods, reflects higher costs associated with the new tolling arrangement with PT Smelting compared to the previous copper concentrate sales agreement. Tolling costs paid to PT Smelting are recorded as production costs in the consolidated statements of income but are reflected as treatment costs above in our unit net cash (credits) costs presentation.

PT-FI’s royalties vary with the volume of metal sold and the prices of copper and gold. PT-FI’s royalties totaled $92 million in second-quarter 2023, $108 million in second-quarter 2022, $150 million for the first six months of 2023 and $201 million for the first six months of 2022. The decrease in PT-FI’s royalties for the 2023 periods, compared to the 2022 periods, primarily reflects lower sales volumes and copper prices.

Because certain assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, PT-FI’s unit depreciation rate may vary with asset additions and the level of copper production and sales. The increase in the DD&A rate per pound of copper in 2023 periods, compared with the 2022 periods, primarily reflects underground development assets being placed into service.

Revenue adjustments primarily result from changes in prices on provisionally priced copper sales recognized in prior periods. Refer to “Consolidated Results – Revenues” for further discussion of adjustments to prior period provisionally priced copper sales.

Table of Contents                 
PT Smelting intercompany profit (loss) for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 represents the change in the deferral of 39.5% of PT-FI’s profit on sales to PT Smelting. Beginning on January 1, 2023, PT-FI’s commercial arrangement with PT Smelting converted from a copper concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement. Under this arrangement, PT-FI pays PT Smelting a tolling fee to smelt and refine its copper concentrate and PT-FI retains title to all products for sales to third parties. Accordingly, beginning in 2023, there are no further sales to PT Smelting.

Assuming an average gold price $1,950 per ounce for the second half of 2023 and achievement of current volume and cost estimates, unit net cash credits (including gold and silver credits) for PT-FI are expected to approximate $0.06 per pound of copper for the year 2023. PT-FI's average unit net cash credits for the year 2023 would change by approximately $0.07 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold for the second half of 2023.

As discussed in Note 8, in July 2023, the Indonesia government issued a revised regulation on duties for various exported products, including copper concentrates. Export duties that may be assessed under this revised regulation are not reflected in PT-FI's estimated unit net cash credits for the second half of 2023. Based on current sales volume and metal price estimates, the assessment of a 7.5% export duty on PT-FI’s sales during the second half of 2023 is estimated to reduce PT-FI's unit net cash credits by $0.19 per pound of copper for the year 2023 (including $0.31 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2023). PT-FI is continuing to discuss the applicability of the revised regulation with the Indonesia government and will contest, and seek recovery of, any assessments.

Molybdenum Mines
We operate 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, as well as from our North America and South America copper mines, is processed at our conversion facilities.

Operating and Development Activities. Production from the Molybdenum mines totaled 7 million pounds of molybdenum in second-quarter 2023, 15 million pounds for the first six months of 2023, 8 million pounds of molybdenum in second-quarter 2022 and 15 million pounds for the first six months of 2022. Refer to “Consolidated Results” for our consolidated molybdenum operating data, which includes sales of molybdenum produced at our Molybdenum mines and from our North America and South America copper mines. Refer to “Outlook” for projected consolidated molybdenum sales volumes and to “Markets” for a discussion of molybdenum prices.

Unit Net Cash Costs Per Pound of Molybdenum. We believe unit net cash costs per pound of molybdenum is a measure that provides investors with information about the cash-generating capacity of our mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for our respective operations. We use this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by our 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. This measure is presented by other metals mining companies, although our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines of $15.99 per pound of molybdenum in second-quarter 2023 and $13.95 per pound for the first six months of 2023 were higher than average unit net cash costs of $10.62 per pound in second-quarter 2022 and $10.75 per pound for the first six months of 2022, primarily reflecting higher contract labor and input costs. Based on current volume and cost estimates, average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines are expected to approximate $14.13 per pound of molybdenum for the year 2023. Refer to “Product Revenues and Production Costs” for a reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in our consolidated financial statements.

Smelting and Refining
We wholly own and operate the Miami smelter in Arizona, the El Paso refinery in Texas and Atlantic Copper, a smelter and refinery in Spain. Additionally, PT-FI has a 39.5% ownership interest in PT Smelting and expects its ownership to increase to a majority interest upon completion of the expansion of PT Smelting’s smelting capacity. Through this form of downstream integration, we are assured placement of a significant portion of our copper concentrate production.
47

Table of Contents                 
Treatment charges for smelting and refining copper concentrate consist of a base rate per pound of copper and per ounce of gold and are generally fixed. Treatment charges represent a cost to our mining operations and income to Atlantic Copper. Higher treatment charges benefit our smelter operations and adversely affect our mining operations. Our North America copper mines are less significantly affected by changes in treatment charges because these operations are largely integrated with our Miami smelter and El Paso refinery.

Atlantic Copper smelts and refines copper concentrate and markets refined copper and precious metals in slimes. During the first six months of 2023, Atlantic Copper’s copper concentrate purchases included 45% from our copper mining operations and 55% from third parties.

Beginning on January 1, 2023, PT-FI's commercial arrangement with PT Smelting converted from a copper concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement. Under this arrangement, PT-FI pays PT Smelting a tolling fee (which PT-FI records as production costs in the consolidated statements of income) to smelt and refine its copper concentrate and PT-FI retains title to all products for sale to third parties (i.e., there are no further sales to PT Smelting).

We defer recognizing profits on sales from our mining operations to Atlantic Copper (and on 39.5% of PT-FI’s sales to PT Smelting for the 2022 periods) until final sales to third parties occur. Changes in these deferrals attributable to variability in intercompany volumes resulted in net (reductions) additions to operating income totaling $(39) million ($(21) million to net income attributable to common stock) in second-quarter 2023, $(7) million (less than $1 million to net income attributable to common stock) in second-quarter 2022, $72 million ($27 million to net income attributable to common stock) for the first six months of 2023 and $40 million ($23 million to net income attributable to common stock) for the first six months of 2022. Our net deferred profits on our inventories at Atlantic Copper to be recognized in future periods’ net income attributable to common stock totaled $63 million at June 30, 2023. Quarterly variations in ore grades, the timing of intercompany shipments and changes in product prices will result in variability in our net deferred profits and quarterly earnings.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Our consolidated operating cash flows vary with sales volumes; prices realized from copper, gold and molybdenum sales; production costs; income taxes; other working capital changes; and other factors. We believe the actions we have taken in recent years to build a strong balance sheet, successfully expand low-cost operations and maintain flexible organic growth options while maintaining sufficient liquidity, will allow us to continue to execute our business plans in a prudent manner during periods of economic uncertainty while preserving substantial future asset values.

We closely monitor market conditions and will adjust our operating plans to protect liquidity and preserve our asset values, if necessary. We expect to maintain a strong balance sheet and liquidity position as we focus on building long-term value in our business, executing our operating plans safely, responsibly and efficiently, and prudently managing costs and capital expenditures.

Based on current sales volume, cost and metal price estimates discussed in “Outlook,” our available cash and cash equivalents plus our projected consolidated operating cash flows of $6.4 billion for the year 2023 exceed our expected consolidated capital expenditures of $4.8 billion (which includes $1.6 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects that are being funded with the remaining proceeds from PT-FI’s senior notes and its available credit facility).

As discussed in “Outlook,” our projected financial results for the second half of 2023 do not include a 7.5% export duty at PT-FI that may be assessed under a revised regulation issued by the Indonesia government in July 2023.

Additionally, as further discussed in Note 8, PT-FI may be required to make an additional refundable smelter deposit of approximately $250 million and deposit 30% of its gross export proceeds into Indonesian banks for a period of 90 days before withdrawal.

We have cash on hand and the financial flexibility to fund capital expenditures and our other cash requirements for the year, including noncontrolling interest distributions, income tax payments, current common stock dividends (base and variable) and any share or debt repurchases. At June 30, 2023, we had $6.7 billion of consolidated cash and cash equivalents (which includes $1.1 billion of PT-FI cash designated for Indonesia smelter projects). FCX, PT-FI and Cerro Verde have $3.0 billion, $1.3 billion and $350 million, respectively, of availability under their revolving credit facilities. Refer to “Outlook” for further discussion of projected operating cash flows and capital expenditures for 2023, and to “Debt” below and Note 5 for further discussion.

Financial Policy. Our financial policy is aligned with our 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 us maintaining our 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). Our Board of Directors (Board) will review the structure of the performance-based payout framework at least annually.

At June 30, 2023, our net debt, excluding net debt for the Indonesia smelter projects, totaled $0.9 billion. Refer to "Net Debt" for further discussion.

On June 21, 2023, our Board declared cash dividends totaling $0.15 per share on our 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 was paid on August 1, 2023, to common stockholders of record as of July 14, 2023. Based on current market conditions, the base and variable dividends on our common stock are anticipated to total $0.60 per share for 2023 (including the dividends paid on August 1, 2023), comprised of a $0.30 per share base dividend and $0.30 per share variable dividend. The declaration and payment of dividends (base or variable) is at the discretion of our Board and will depend on our financial results, cash requirements, global economic conditions and other factors deemed relevant by our Board.

Cash
Following is a summary of the U.S. and international components of consolidated cash and cash equivalents available to the parent company, excluding cash committed for the Indonesia smelter projects and net of noncontrolling interests’ share, taxes and other costs at June 30, 2023 (in billions):
Cash at domestic companies$3.3 
Cash at international operations3.4 
Total consolidated cash and cash equivalents6.7 
Cash for Indonesia smelter projects(1.1)

Noncontrolling interests’ share(1.0)
Cash, net of noncontrolling interests’ share4.6 
Withholding taxes (0.1)

Net cash available$4.5 
a.Estimated remaining net proceeds from PT-FI's senior notes offering.

Cash held at our international operations is generally used to support our foreign operations’ capital expenditures, operating expenses, debt repayments, working capital or other cash needs. Management believes that sufficient liquidity is available in the U.S. from cash balances and availability from our revolving credit facility. We have not elected to permanently reinvest earnings from our foreign subsidiaries, and we have recorded deferred tax liabilities for foreign earnings that are available to be repatriated to the U.S. From time to time, our foreign subsidiaries distribute earnings to the U.S. through dividends that are subject to applicable withholding taxes and noncontrolling interests’ share.

Debt
At June 30, 2023, consolidated debt totaled $9.5 billion, with a weighted-average interest rate of 5.2%. Substantially all of our outstanding debt is fixed rate. We had no borrowings outstanding and $8 million in letters of credit issued under our $3.0 billion revolving credit facility. Additionally, at June 30, 2023, no amounts were drawn under PT-FI’s $1.3 billion revolving credit facility or Cerro Verde’s $350 million revolving credit facility. Refer to Note 5 for further discussion.

Operating Activities
We generated operating cash flows of $2.7 billion (net of $0.2 billion of working capital and other uses) for the first six months of 2023 and $3.3 billion (net of $0.7 billion of working capital and other uses) for the first six months of 2022. Lower operating cash flows for the first six months of 2023, compared with first six months of 2022, primarily reflected lower copper prices, lower copper and gold sales volumes and higher production and delivery costs (refer to “Consolidated Results” for further discussion), partly offset by working capital changes.

Investing Activities
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, totaled $2.3 billion for the first six months of 2023, including approximately $0.8 billion for major mining projects primarily associated with underground development activities in the Grasberg minerals district and $0.8 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects.

Capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, totaled $1.6 billion for the first six months of 2022, including approximately $0.8 billion for major mining projects primarily associated with underground development activities in the Grasberg minerals district and $0.3 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects.

Proceeds from Sales of Assets. Proceeds from sales of assets totaled $11 million for the first six months of 2023 and $96 million for the first six months of 2022. In May 2022, we sold all of the shares we owned in Jervois Global Limited, which we received in connection with the 2021 sale of our remaining cobalt business, for proceeds of $60 million.

Loans to PT Smelting for Expansion. PT-FI made loans to PT Smelting totaling $61 million for the first six months of 2023 and $34 million for the first six months of 2022 to fund PT Smelting’s expansion project.

Financing Activities
Debt Transactions. Net repayments of debt totaled $1.1 billion for the first six months of 2023, including the repayment of our 3.875% Senior Notes that matured in March 2023 totaling $996 million and open-market purchases of our senior notes for a total cost of $125 million. Refer to Note 5 for additional information.

Net proceeds from debt totaled $1.7 billion for the first six months of 2022, reflecting net proceeds from PT-FI’s $3.0 billion senior note offering, partly offset by the repayment of borrowings under PT-FI’s term loan ($0.6 billion) and Cerro Verde’s term loan ($0.3 billion), and open-market purchases of our senior notes ($0.6 billion).

Cash Dividends on Common Stock. We paid cash dividends on our common stock totaling $432 million for the first six months of 2023 and $438 million for the first six months of 2022. The declaration and payment of dividends (base or variable) is at the discretion of our Board and will depend on our financial results, cash requirements, global economic conditions and other factors deemed relevant by our Board. Refer to Note 5, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” contained in Part I of our 2022 Form 10-K, “Cautionary Statement” below and discussion of our financial policy above.

Cash Dividends and Distributions Paid to Noncontrolling Interests. Cash dividends and distributions paid to noncontrolling interests at our international operations totaled $291 million for the first six months of 2023 and $513 million for the first six months of 2022. Based on the estimates discussed in “Outlook,” we currently expect cash dividends and distributions paid to noncontrolling interests totaling $1.1 billion for the year 2023. Cash dividends and distributions to noncontrolling interests vary based on the operating results and cash requirements of our consolidated subsidiaries.

Treasury Stock Purchases. Since mid-2021, we have acquired 47.8 million shares of our common stock under the share repurchase program for a total cost of $1.8 billion ($38.35 average cost per share), including 29.4 million shares in the first six months of 2022 for a total cost of $1.2 billion. No shares have been purchased since July 11, 2022, and we have $3.2 billion available for repurchases under the 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 our Board’s discretion. Refer to Item 1A. “Risk Factors” contained in Part I of our 2022 Form 10-K, “Cautionary Statement” below and discussion of our financial policy above.

Contributions from Noncontrolling Interests. We received equity contributions totaling $50 million for the first six months of 2023 and $94 million for the first six months of 2022 from PT Mineral Industri Indonesia (formerly PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (Persero), (MIND ID)). Contributions for the first six months of 2023 were primarily associated with receipt of the final capital contribution in accordance with the PT-FI shareholders agreement. Contributions for the first six months of 2022 were associated with MIND ID’s share of capital spending on underground mine development projects in the Grasberg minerals district. Beginning on January 1, 2023, capital spending at PT-FI is being shared in accordance with the shareholders’ ownership interests.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

There have been no other material changes in our contractual obligations since December 31, 2022. Refer to Note 13 and Part II, Items 7. and 7A. in our 2022 Form 10-K for information regarding our contractual obligations.

CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Liabilities and Asset Retirement Obligations (AROs)
Our current and historical operating activities are subject to stringent laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. We perform a comprehensive annual review of our environmental liabilities and AROs and also review changes in facts and circumstances associated with these obligations at least quarterly.

As discussed in “Consolidated Results – Environmental Obligations and Shutdown Costs,” we recorded $116 million in revisions to our environmental obligations during the first six months of 2023 primarily associated with revised cost estimates. There have been no significant changes to our AROs since December 31, 2022. Updated cost assumptions, including increases and decreases to cost estimates, changes in the anticipated scope and timing of remediation activities, and settlement of environmental matters may result in additional revisions to certain of our environmental liabilities and AROs. Refer to Note 12 in our 2022 Form 10-K for further information regarding our environmental liabilities and AROs.

Litigation and Other Contingencies
There have been no material changes to our contingencies associated with legal proceedings, environmental and other matters since December 31, 2022 other than the Indonesia regulatory matters discussed above in “Indonesia Mining-Regulatory Matters and as disclosed in Note 8. Refer to Note 12 and “Legal Proceedings” contained in Part I, Item 3. of our 2022 Form 10-K, as updated by Note 8, for further information regarding litigation and other contingencies.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

There were no significant updates to previously reported accounting standards included in Note 1 of our 2022 Form 10-K.

NET DEBT

We believe that net debt, which we define as consolidated debt less consolidated cash and cash equivalents, provides investors with information related to the performance-based payout framework in our financial policy, which requires us to maintain our 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). 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. Our net debt, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, follows (in billions):

PRODUCT REVENUES AND PRODUCTION COSTS

We believe unit net cash costs (credits) per pound of copper and molybdenum are measures that provide investors with information about the cash-generating capacity of our mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for the respective operations. We use these measures for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by our 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 our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

We present gross profit per pound of copper in the following tables using both a “by-product” method and a “co-product” method. We use the by-product method in our presentation of gross profit per pound of copper because (i) the majority of our revenues are copper revenues, (ii) we mine ore, which contains copper, gold, molybdenum and other metals, (iii) it is not possible to specifically assign all of our costs to revenues from the copper, gold, molybdenum and other metals we produce and (iv) it is the method used by our management and Board to monitor our 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 our metals sales volumes and realized prices change.

We show 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 (credits), 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 our consolidated financial statements.

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 and management, respectively, and are subject to a number of factors, including not exceeding our net debt target, capital availability, our 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.

We caution 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 our 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 we produce, primarily copper; PT-FI’s ability to continue to export and sell copper concentrates and anode slimes; changes in 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 we purchase as well as constraints on supply and logistics, and transportation services; changes in our 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 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, and litigation results; our ability to comply with our responsible production commitments under specific frameworks and any changes to such frameworks and other factors described in more detail under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A. of our 2022 Form 10-K.

Investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions upon which our forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after the date the forward-looking statements are made, including for example commodity prices, which we cannot control, and production volumes and costs or technological solutions and innovations, some aspects of which we may not be able to control. Further, we may make changes to our business plans that could affect our results. We caution investors that we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, notwithstanding any changes in our assumptions, changes in business plans, actual experience or other changes.
