Responsible Production
2023 Annual Report on Sustainability. FCX expects to publish its 2023 Annual Report on Sustainability on FCX's website at fcx.com/sustainability on April 25, 2024. This marks FCX’s 23rd year of reporting on its sustainability progress. FCX is committed to building upon its achievements in sustainability and its position as a leading responsible copper producer.

Consolidated Sales Volumes
First-quarter 2024 copper sales of 1.1 billion pounds were 11% higher than the January 2024 estimate of 1.0 billion pounds and 33% higher than first-quarter 2023 sales of 0.8 billion pounds, primarily reflecting higher mining and milling rates and ore grades at PT-FI. First-quarter 2023 sales were also impacted by weather-related disruptions and the initial deferral of sales recognition related to the PT Smelting tolling arrangement.
First-quarter 2024 gold sales of 568 thousand ounces approximated the January 2024 estimate of 575 thousand ounces. First-quarter 2024 gold sales were more than double first-quarter 2023 sales of 270 thousand ounces, primarily reflecting higher mining and milling rates and ore grades at PT-FI. First-quarter 2023 sales were also impacted by weather-related disruptions and the initial deferral of sales recognition related to the PT Smelting tolling arrangement.
First-quarter 2024 molybdenum sales of 20 million pounds approximated the January 2024 estimate and first-quarter 2023 sales of 19 million pounds.
Consolidated sales volumes for the year 2024 are expected to approximate 4.15 billion pounds of copper, 2.0 million ounces of gold and 84 million pounds of molybdenum, including 1.0 billion pounds of copper, 500 thousand ounces of gold and 21 million pounds of molybdenum in second-quarter 2024. PT-FI’s current export licenses for copper concentrates and anode slimes extend through May 2024. Consolidated sales volume estimates include exports of copper concentrates and anode slimes by PT-FI from June 2024 through December 2024 totaling 0.4 billion pounds of copper and 0.9 million ounces of gold. Consolidated copper and gold production volumes for the year 2024 are expected to exceed 2024 sales volumes, reflecting the deferral of approximately 90 million pounds of copper and 120 thousand ounces of gold that will be processed by the Manyar smelter and precious metals refinery (PMR) (collectively, the Indonesia smelter projects) and sold as refined metal in future periods.

a2024headera.jpg
Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance; extension of PT-FI’s export permits for copper concentrates and anode slimes beyond May 2024; the timing of the ramp-up of the Indonesia smelter projects; weather-related conditions, including ongoing El Niño weather impacts; timing of shipments and other factors detailed in the “Cautionary Statement” below.

Consolidated Unit Net Cash Costs
First-quarter 2024 consolidated average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for FCX’s copper mines of $1.51 per pound of copper were lower than the January 2024 estimate of $1.55 per pound, primarily reflecting higher copper volumes at PT-FI, partly offset by lower by-product credits.
First-quarter 2024 consolidated average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for FCX’s copper mines of $1.51 per pound of copper were lower than first-quarter 2023 average unit net cash costs of $1.76 per pound, primarily reflecting higher copper volumes at PT-FI and higher by-product credits, partly offset by higher export duties at PT-FI. Refer to “Operations” below for further discussion.
Consolidated unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for FCX’s copper mines are expected to average $1.57 per pound of copper for the year 2024 (including $1.57 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2024), based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming average prices of $2,300 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum for the remainder of 2024. Quarterly unit net cash costs vary with fluctuations in sales volumes and realized prices, primarily for gold and molybdenum. The impact of price changes on consolidated unit net cash costs would approximate $0.04 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $0.02 per pound of copper for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum for the remainder of 2024.

OPERATIONS
Leaching Innovation Initiatives. FCX is continuing to advance a series of initiatives across its North America and South America operations to incorporate new applications, technologies and data analytics to its leaching processes. In late 2023, FCX achieved its initial annual run rate target of approximately 200 million pounds of copper. Incremental copper production from these initiatives totaled 51 million pounds in first-quarter 2024, compared with 22 million pounds in first-quarter 2023. FCX is pursuing opportunities to apply recent operational enhancements at a larger scale and is testing new technology applications that it believes have the potential for significant increases in recoverable metal beyond the current run rate.
North America. FCX manages seven copper operations in North America – Morenci, Bagdad, Safford (including Lone Star), Sierrita and Miami in Arizona, and Chino and Tyrone in New Mexico. FCX also operates a copper smelter in Miami, Arizona. In addition to copper, certain of these operations produce molybdenum concentrate, gold and silver. All of the North America operations are wholly owned, except for Morenci. FCX records its 72% undivided joint venture interest in Morenci using the proportionate consolidation method.
Development Activities. FCX has substantial reserves and future opportunities in the U.S., primarily associated with existing operations.
FCX has a potential expansion project to more than double the concentrator capacity of the Bagdad operation in northwest Arizona. Bagdad’s reserve life currently exceeds 80 years and supports an expanded operation. In late 2023, FCX completed technical and economic studies, which indicated the opportunity to construct new concentrating facilities to increase copper production by 200-250 million pounds per year, more than double Bagdad’s current annual production rate. Estimated incremental project capital costs approximate $3.5 billion (excluding infrastructure that would be required in the long-range plans). Expanded operations would provide improved efficiency and reduce unit net cash costs through economies of scale. Project economics indicate that the expansion would require an incentive copper price in the range of $3.50 to $4.00 per pound and would require approximately three to four years to complete. The decision to proceed and timing of the potential expansion will take into account overall copper market conditions, availability of labor and other factors, including progress on conversion of the existing haul truck fleet to autonomous and expanding housing alternatives to support long-range plans. In parallel, FCX is advancing activities for expanded tailings infrastructure projects required under long-range plans in order to advance the potential construction timeline.
FCX is completing projects at its Safford/Lone Star operation to increase volumes to achieve 300 million pounds of copper per year from oxide ores, which reflects expansion of the initial design capacity of 200 million

a2024headera.jpg
pounds of copper per year. Additionally, positive drilling conducted in recent years indicate a large mineralized district with opportunities to expand production significantly. FCX is completing metallurgical testing and mine development planning and is commencing pre-feasibility studies for a potential significant expansion. Pre-feasibility studies are expected to be completed in late 2025. The decision to proceed and timing of the potential expansion will take into account results of technical and economic studies, overall copper market conditions and other factors.

b.For a reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, “Product Revenues and Production Costs,” beginning on page XI.
FCX’s consolidated copper sales volumes from North America of 331 million pounds in first-quarter 2024 approximated first-quarter 2023 copper sales volumes of 332 million pounds. Production in first-quarter 2024 was slightly lower than first-quarter 2023, reflecting lower ore grades, partly offset by improved leach recovery performance. FCX continues to drive initiatives to enhance productivity and improve equipment reliability to offset declines in ore grades. North America copper sales are estimated to approximate 1.3 billion pounds for the year 2024.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines of $2.98 per pound of copper in first-quarter 2024 were higher than first-quarter 2023 unit net cash costs of $2.45 per pound, primarily reflecting higher mining costs and lower molybdenum by-product credits.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines are expected to approximate $3.00 per pound of copper for the year 2024, based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $20.00 per pound of molybdenum for the remainder of 2024. North America’s average unit net cash costs for the year 2024 would change by approximately $0.03 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum for the remainder of 2024.
South America. FCX manages two copper operations in South America – Cerro Verde in Peru (in which FCX owns a 53.56% interest) and El Abra in Chile (in which FCX owns a 51% interest). These operations are consolidated in FCX’s financial statements. In addition to copper, the Cerro Verde mine produces molybdenum concentrate and silver.
Development Activities. At the El Abra operations in Chile, FCX has drilled out and modeled a large sulfide resource that would support a potential major mill project similar to the large-scale concentrator at Cerro Verde. FCX is engaged in planning for a potential submission of an environmental impact statement by year-end 2025, subject to ongoing stakeholder engagement and economic evaluations. In parallel, FCX is updating its technical studies and economic models to incorporate recent capital cost trends.

FCX’s consolidated copper sales from South America operations in first-quarter 2024 were lower than first-quarter 2023, primarily reflecting lower volumes of leach ore placed in stockpiles and lower milling rates associated with mill maintenance. Molybdenum production in first-quarter 2024 was significantly lower than first-quarter 2023 as a result of mill maintenance and the impact of certain ore types on recoveries. Copper sales from South America operations are expected to approximate 1.1 billion for the year 2024, which assume no significant impacts to water availability, which is being monitored closely in light of ongoing El Niño weather patterns.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America operations of $2.60 per pound of copper in first-quarter 2024 were higher than first-quarter 2023 unit net cash costs of $2.20 per pound, primarily reflecting lower molybdenum by-product credits and lower copper volumes.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America operations are expected to approximate $2.51 per pound of copper for the year 2024, based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $20.00 per pound of molybdenum for the remainder of 2024.
Indonesia. PT-FI operates one of the world’s largest copper and gold mines at the Grasberg minerals district in Central Papua, Indonesia. PT-FI produces copper concentrate that contains significant quantities of gold and silver. FCX has a 48.76% ownership interest in PT-FI and manages its operations. PT-FI’s results are consolidated in FCX’s financial statements. Upon completion and full ramp-up of the Indonesia smelter projects, PT-FI will be a fully integrated producer of refined copper and gold.
Regulatory Matters. Over the past several years, the Indonesia government has enacted various laws and regulations related to downstream processing of various products, including copper concentrates. In 2018, PT-FI agreed to expand its domestic smelting and refining capacity and has made substantial progress towards completion (refer to “Indonesia Smelting and Refining” below).
PT-FI’s current export licenses for copper concentrate and anode slimes extend through May 2024. PT-FI is working with the Indonesia government to obtain approvals to continue exports of copper concentrates and anode slimes until the Indonesia smelter projects are fully commissioned and reach designed operating conditions, which is currently expected by year-end 2024.
PT-FI also continues to discuss the applicability of the Indonesia government’s revised regulation on duties for various exported products, including copper concentrates because of inconsistencies with its special mining

a2024headera.jpg
license (IUPK). PT-FI incurred export duties totaling $156 million in first-quarter 2024 under the revised regulation. PT-FI is currently paying an export duty on copper concentrates of 7.5%.
Mining Rights. The Indonesia government is updating regulations that would enable PT-FI to apply for an extension of its IUPK beyond 2041. An extension 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 underground mines in the Grasberg minerals district (Grasberg Block Cave, Deep Mill Level Zone and Big Gossan), which provided production volumes of 0.5 billion pounds of copper and 0.5 million ounces of gold in first-quarter 2024. Milling rates for ore from these underground mines averaged 219,500 metric tons of ore per day in first-quarter 2024, a 33% increase from 164,800 metric tons of ore per day in first-quarter 2023.
In December 2023, PT-FI completed the installation of new milling facilities, which allows PT-FI to further leverage the success of the underground mines and provide sustained large-scale production volumes. PT-FI is completing a mill recovery project with the installation of a new copper cleaner circuit in the second half of 2024.
PT-FI plans to transition its existing energy source from coal to liquefied natural gas, which would meaningfully reduce PT-FI’s Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions at the Grasberg minerals district. PT-FI is planning investments in a new gas-fired combined cycle facility. Capital expenditures for the new facilities, to be incurred over the next four years, approximate $1 billion representing an incremental cost of $0.4 billion compared to previously planned investments to refurbish the existing coal units.
Kucing Liar. Long-term mine development activities are ongoing for PT-FI’s Kucing Liar deposit in the Grasberg minerals district, which is expected to produce over 7 billion pounds of copper and 6 million ounces of gold between 2029 and the end of 2041. An extension of PT-FI’s operating rights beyond 2041 would extend the life of the project. 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 560 million pounds of copper and 520 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 Smelting and Refining. 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. At March 31, 2024, progress of the Indonesia smelter projects approximated 92%.
Construction progress of the Manyar smelter in Gresik, Indonesia (with a capacity to process approximately 1.7 million metric tons of copper concentrate per year) is advancing on schedule with a target of May 2024 for material construction completion, which will be followed by a ramp-up period through December 2024. 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 desalination plant.
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 the second half of 2024. Current cost estimates total $665 million.
During first-quarter 2024, capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects totaled $0.5 billion and are expected to approximate $1.0 billion for the year 2024. Capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects for the remainder of 2024 are expected to be funded with availability under PT-FI’s revolving credit facility.
In December 2023, PT Smelting completed an expansion of its capacity by 30% to 1.3 million metric tons of copper concentrate per year. The project was funded by PT-FI with borrowings totaling approximately $250 million that are expected to convert to equity in late second-quarter 2024, increasing PT-FI’s ownership in PT Smelting to approximately 65% from 39.5%.

a.For a reconciliation of unit net cash credits per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, “Product Revenues and Production Costs,” beginning on page XI.
b.See “Regulatory Matters” above for discussion of export duties. First-quarter 2023 reflects an export duty rate of 2.5%. Export duties were eliminated effective March 29, 2023, upon verification that construction progress of the Manyar smelter exceeded 50%, before being reinstated in July 2023 as part of the 2023 revised regulation.
PT-FI’s consolidated sales of 493 million pounds of copper and 564 thousand ounces of gold in first-quarter 2024 were more than double first-quarter 2023 sales of 198 million pounds of copper and 266 thousand ounces of gold, primarily reflecting higher mining and milling rates and ore grades. First-quarter 2023 sales were also impacted by weather-related disruptions and the initial deferral of sales recognition related to the PT Smelting tolling arrangement.
Consolidated sales volumes from PT-FI are expected to approximate 1.7 billion pounds of copper and 2.0 million ounces of gold for the year 2024, which includes exports of copper concentrates and anode slimes from June 2024 through December 2024 totaling 0.4 billion pounds of copper and 0.9 million ounces of gold. Consolidated copper and gold production volumes from PT-FI for the year 2024 are expected to exceed 2024 sales volumes, reflecting the deferral of approximately 90 million pounds of copper and 120 thousand ounces of gold that will be processed by the Indonesia smelter projects and sold as refined metal in future periods. Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance; extension of PT-FI’s export permits for copper concentrates and anode slimes beyond May 2024; weather-related conditions; and other factors detailed in the “Cautionary Statement” below.
PT-FI’s unit net cash credits (including gold, silver and other by-product credits) were $0.12 per pound of copper in first-quarter 2024 and $0.08 per pound of copper in first-quarter 2023. The favorable unit net cash credits in first-quarter 2024, compared to first-quarter 2023, primarily reflect higher sales volumes, partially offset by lower by-product credits and higher export duties.
Average unit net cash credits (including gold, silver and other by-product credits) for PT-FI are expected to approximate $0.12 per pound of copper for the year 2024, based on achievement of current sales volumes and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $2,300 per ounce of gold for the remainder of 2024. PT-FI’s average unit net cash credits for the year 2024 would change by approximately $0.09 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold for the remainder of 2024.

Molybdenum. FCX operates two wholly owned primary molybdenum operations in Colorado – the Climax open-pit mine and the Henderson underground mine. The Climax and Henderson mines produce high-purity, chemical-grade molybdenum concentrate, which is typically further processed into value-added molybdenum chemical products. The majority of the molybdenum concentrate produced at the Climax and Henderson mines and at FCX’s North America copper mines and South America operations is processed at FCX’s conversion facilities.
Operating and Development Activities. Production from the primary molybdenum operations totaled 8 million pounds of molybdenum in each of first-quarter 2024 and 2023. FCX’s consolidated molybdenum sales and average realized prices include sales of molybdenum produced at the primary molybdenum operations and at FCX’s North America copper mines and South America operations, which are presented on page 3.
Average unit net cash costs for the primary molybdenum operations of $15.80 per pound of molybdenum in first-quarter 2024 were higher than average unit net cash costs of $12.24 per pound in first-quarter 2023, primarily reflecting higher costs for contract labor and maintenance supplies. Average unit net cash costs for the primary molybdenum operations are expected to approximate $15.47 per pound of molybdenum for the year 2024, based on achievement of current sales volumes and cost estimates.
For a reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, “Product Revenues and Production Costs,” beginning on page XI.

LIQUIDITY, CASH FLOWS, CASH AND DEBT
Liquidity. At March 31, 2024, FCX had $5.2 billion in consolidated cash and cash equivalents, $6.1 billion including $0.9 billion of current restricted cash associated with PT-FI’s export proceeds required to be temporarily deposited in Indonesia banks and $3.0 billion of availability under its revolving credit facility. In addition, PT-FI and Cerro Verde have $1.75 billion and $350 million, respectively, of availability under their revolving credit facilities.
Operating Cash Flows. FCX generated operating cash flows of $1.9 billion, net of $0.1 billion of working capital and other uses, in first-quarter 2024.
FCX’s consolidated operating cash flows are estimated to approximate $7.4 billion, net of $0.2 billion of working capital and other uses, for the year 2024, based on current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming average prices of $4.25 per pound of copper, $2,300 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum for the remainder of 2024. The impact of price changes for the remainder of 2024 on operating cash flows would approximate $270 million for each $0.10 per pound change in the average price of copper, $105 million for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $90 million for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures totaled $1.3 billion in first-quarter 2024, including $0.4 billion for major mining projects and $0.5 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects.
Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $4.6 billion for the year 2024, including $2.3 billion for major mining projects and $1.0 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects. Projected capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects in 2024 exclude capitalized interest and $0.3 billion of estimated commissioning and owner’s costs. Projected capital expenditures for major mining projects include $1.1 billion for planned projects, primarily associated with underground mine development in the Grasberg minerals district and potential expansion projects in North America, and $1.2 billion for discretionary growth projects.
Capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects for the remainder of 2024 are expected to be funded with availability under PT-FI’s revolving credit facility.

FCX has $0.7 billion in scheduled senior note maturities in November 2024 with no further senior note maturities until 2027. FCX’s total debt has an average remaining duration of approximately 10 years.
As of March 31, 2024, PT-FI and Cerro Verde had no borrowings outstanding under their respective revolving credit facilities.
FINANCIAL POLICY
FCX’s financial policy is aligned with its strategic objectives of maintaining a solid balance sheet, providing cash returns to shareholders and advancing opportunities for future growth. The policy includes a base dividend and a performance-based payout framework, whereby up to 50% of available cash flows generated after planned capital spending and distributions to noncontrolling interests would be allocated to shareholder returns and the balance to debt reduction and investments in value enhancing growth projects, subject to FCX maintaining its net debt at a level not to exceed the net debt target of $3.0 billion to $4.0 billion (excluding debt for the Indonesia smelter projects). The Board of Directors (Board) reviews the structure of the performance-based payout framework at least annually.
At March 31, 2024, FCX’s net debt, excluding $3.0 billion of debt for the Indonesia smelter projects, totaled $0.3 billion (which was net of $0.9 billion of current restricted cash associated with PT-FI’s export proceeds). Refer to the supplemental schedule, “Net Debt,” on page VIII.
On March 27, 2024, FCX’s Board declared cash dividends totaling $0.15 per share on its common stock (including a $0.075 per share quarterly base cash dividend and a $0.075 per share quarterly variable, performance-based cash dividend), which will be paid on May 1, 2024, to shareholders of record as of April 15, 2024. The declaration and payment of dividends (base or variable) are at the discretion of the Board and will depend on FCX’s financial results, cash requirements, global economic conditions and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.
As of April 22, 2024, FCX has 1.44 billion shares of common stock outstanding and $3.2 billion is available under its share repurchase program. The timing and amount of share repurchases is at the discretion of

Freeport-McMoRan Oil & Gas (FMOG), as a predecessor-in-interest in oil and natural gas leases, is in the chain of title with unrelated third parties either directly or by virtue of divestiture of certain oil and natural gas assets previously owned and assigned by its subsidiaries. Certain counterparties in these divestiture transactions or third parties in existing leases have filed for bankruptcy protection or undergone associated reorganizations and have not performed the required abandonment obligations. Accordingly, regulations or federal laws require that FMOG assume such obligations.
c.Includes net credits associated with closure of PT-FI’s 2021 corporate income tax audit and resolution of a framework for disputed tax matters, which were recorded as a benefit to income taxes ($182 million), production and delivery ($8 million) and interest expense, net ($8 million). In addition, FCX recognized a credit of $26 million in other income, net associated with the reduction in the related accrual to indemnify MIND ID from potential losses arising from historical tax disputes. In accordance with PT-FI's Shareholder Agreement, settlements of historical tax matters that originated before December 31, 2022, should be attributed based on the economics from the Initial Period (i.e., approximately 81% to FCX and 19% to MIND ID). Accordingly, the noncontrolling interest portion of these credits totaled $43 million.
d.Primarily includes charges for molybdenum inventory write-offs and metals inventory adjustments, which were recorded to production and delivery ($31 million), partly offset by credits recorded to other income, net ($2 million).
e.Primarily includes net charges associated with asset impairments and contract cancellation costs in North America recorded to production and delivery ($24 million) and contested tax matters in South America recorded to interest expense, net ($24 million).

d.Includes a tax benefit of $13 million associated with a favorable Supreme Court ruling in Spain, which reversed a 2015 tax law limiting Atlantic Copper’s use of net operating losses.
e.In accordance with applicable accounting rules, FCX adjusts its interim provision for income taxes equal to its consolidated tax rate.

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. FCX has made interpretations of certain provisions of the Act, and based on these interpretations, determined that the provisions of the Act did not impact FCX’s financial results in first-quarter 2024 or for the year 2023.
Although the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) published guidance in 2023 that provided some additional clarity on these rules, regulations are yet to be published and uncertainty remains regarding the application of the CAMT. Future guidance released by the Treasury may differ from FCX’s interpretations of the Act, which could be material and may further limit FCX’s ability to realize future benefits from its U.S. net operating losses.
Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and average prices of $4.25 per pound for copper, $2,300 per ounce for gold and $20.00 per pound for molybdenum for the remainder of 2024, FCX estimates its consolidated effective tax rate for the year 2024 would approximate 35%. Changes in projected sales volumes and average prices during 2024 would incur tax impacts at estimated effective rates of 39% for Peru, 36% for Indonesia and 0% for the U.S., which excludes any impact from the Act. FCX’s projected estimated effective tax rate of 0% for the U.S. for the year 2024 may be adjusted as additional guidance is released by the Treasury on key provisions of the Act.

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

As the 90-day holding period is the only restriction on the cash, FCX has included such amount in the calculation of net debt.
c.Represents senior notes issued by PT-FI.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, FCX’s mined copper was sold 47% in concentrate, 32% as cathode and 21% as rod from North America operations. All of FCX’s copper concentrate and some cathode sales contracts provide final copper pricing in a specified future month (generally one to four months from the shipment date) based primarily on quoted London Metal Exchange (LME) monthly average copper prices. FCX records revenues and invoices customers at the time of shipment based on then-current LME prices, which results in an embedded derivative on provisionally priced concentrate and cathode sales that is adjusted to fair value through earnings each period, using the period-end forward prices, until final pricing on the date of settlement. In first-quarter 2024, LME copper settlement prices averaged $3.83 per pound and FCX’s average realized copper price was $3.94 per pound. At March 31, 2024, FCX’s provisionally priced copper sales were recorded at an average price of $4.01 per pound.
Following is a summary of the adjustments to prior period and current period provisionally priced copper sales (in millions, except per share amounts):

At March 31, 2024, FCX had provisionally priced copper sales totaling 229 million pounds (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average price of $4.01 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. FCX estimates that each $0.05 change in the price realized from the quarter-end provisional price would have an approximate $22 million effect on 2024 revenues ($7 million to net income attributable to common stock). The LME copper price settled at $4.45 per pound on April 22, 2024.

Freeport-McMoRan Inc.
DEFERRED PROFITS
FCX defers recognizing profits on intercompany sales to Atlantic Copper 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 $(17) million ($(5) million to net income attributable to common stock) in first-quarter 2024 and $111 million ($48 million to net income attributable to common stock) in first-quarter 2023. FCX’s net deferred profits on its inventories at Atlantic Copper to be recognized in future periods’ operating income totaled $63 million at March 31, 2024. Quarterly variations in ore grades, the timing of intercompany shipments and changes in product prices will result in variability in FCX’s net deferred profits and quarterly earnings.

NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is primarily associated with PT-FI, Cerro Verde and El Abra and totaled $689 million in first-quarter 2024 (which represented 41% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes) and $386 million in first-quarter 2023 (which represented 25% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes). Refer to “Business Segments” below for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for each of FCX’s business segments. As noted above, beginning January 1, 2023, FCX's economic and ownership interest in PT-FI is 48.76% except for net income associated with the settlement of historical tax matters in first-quarter 2024 and approximately 190 thousand ounces of gold sales in first-quarter 2023, which were attributed based on the economics prior to January 1, 2023 (i.e., approximately 81% to FCX and 19% to MIND ID).
Based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming average prices of $4.25 per pound of copper, $2,300 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum for the remainder of 2024, FCX estimates that net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is estimated to approximate $2.7 billion (which would represent 35% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes) for the year 2024. The actual amount will depend on many factors, including relative performance of each business segment, commodity prices, costs and other factors.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS
FCX has organized its mining operations into four primary divisions – North America copper mines, South America operations, Indonesia operations 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 Indonesia operations (including the Grasberg minerals districts and the Indonesia smelter projects that are under construction), the Rod & Refining operations and Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining. For comparative purposes, the prior-year table has been adjusted to conform with the current year presentation, primarily for the combination of the Grasberg minerals district and the Indonesia smelter projects that are under construction to reflect PT-FI’s integrated and dependent operations within Indonesia (i.e., Indonesia operations).
Intersegment sales between FCX’s business segments are based on terms similar to arms-length transactions with third parties at the time of the sale. Intersegment sales may not be reflective of the actual prices ultimately realized because of a variety of factors, including additional processing, the timing of sales to unaffiliated customers and transportation premiums.
FCX allocates certain operating costs, expenses and capital expenditures to its operating divisions and individual segments. However, not all costs and expenses applicable to an operation are allocated. U.S. federal and state income taxes are recorded and managed at the corporate level (included in Corporate, Other & Eliminations), whereas foreign income taxes are recorded and managed at the applicable country level. In addition, some selling, general and administrative costs are not allocated to the operating divisions or individual segments. Accordingly, the following segment information reflects management determinations that may not be indicative of what the actual financial performance of each operating division or segment would be if it was an independent entity.

PRODUCT REVENUES AND PRODUCTION COSTS

Unit net cash costs (credits) per pound of copper and molybdenum are measures intended to provide investors with information about the cash-generating capacity of FCX’s mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for the respective operations. FCX uses this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by its mining operations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures are presented by other metals mining companies, although FCX’s measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
FCX presents gross profit per pound of copper in the following tables using both a “by-product” method and a “co-product” method. FCX uses the by-product method in its presentation of gross profit per pound of copper because (i) the majority of its revenues are copper revenues, (ii) it mines ore, which contains copper, gold, molybdenum and other metals, (iii) it is not possible to specifically assign all of FCX’s costs to revenues from the copper, gold, molybdenum and other metals it produces and (iv) it is the method used by FCX’s management and Board of Directors to monitor FCX’s mining operations and to compare mining operations in certain industry publications. In the co-product method presentations, shared costs are allocated to the different products based on their relative revenue values, which will vary to the extent FCX’s metals sales volumes and realized prices change.
FCX shows revenue adjustments for prior period open sales as a separate line item. Because these adjustments do not result from current period sales, these amounts have been reflected separately from revenues on current period sales. Noncash and other costs, net which are removed from site production and delivery costs in the calculation of unit net cash costs, consist of items such as accretion of AROs, inventory write-offs and adjustments, stock-based compensation costs, long-lived asset impairments, idle facility costs, feasibility and optimization study costs, restructuring and/or unusual charges. As discussed above, gold, molybdenum and other metal revenues at copper mines are reflected as credits against site production and delivery costs in the by-product method. The following schedules are presentations under both the by-product and co-product methods together with reconciliations to amounts reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements.
