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 three-month period ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.
PT Freeport Indonesia (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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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 concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement beginning on January 1, 2023. As a result of the arrangement, a portion of PT-FI’s first-quarter 2023 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.

FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate was
32
% for first-quarter 2023 and
30
% for first-quarter 2022. 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.
In August 2022, the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (Act) was signed into law, which 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. The provisions of the Act became applicable to FCX on January 1, 2023. 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 FCX’s first-quarter 2023 financial results. However, future guidance released by the Treasury may differ from FCX’s interpretations, which could be material and could 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 March 31, 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.
Cerro Verde has a $
350
million unsecured revolving credit facility that matures in May 2027.
At March 31, 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.
Interest Expense, Net.
Consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) totaled $
207
million in first-quarter 2023 and $
153
million in first-quarter 2022. The increase in consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) is primarily related to interest associated with PT-FI’s $
3.0
billion of senior notes that were issued in April 2022 and a charge of $
25
million related to contested tax matters in Peru.
Capitalized interest added to property, plant, equipment and mine development costs, net, totaled $
56
million in first-quarter 2023 and $
26
million in first-quarter 2022. The increase in capitalized interest costs 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), including
12.3
million shares in first-quarter 2022 for a cost of $
541
million.
No
shares have been purchased since July 11, 2022. As of May 4, 2023, FCX has $
3.2
billion available for repurchases under the program.
On March 22, 2023, FCX declared quarterly cash dividends totaling $
0.15
per share ($
0.075
per share base dividend and $
0.075
per share variable dividend) on its common stock, which were paid on May 1, 2023, to common stockholders of record as of April 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 of Directors (Board) and management, respectively, and are subject to a number of factors, including maintaining 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 three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. At March 31, 2023, FCX held copper futures and swap contracts that qualified for hedge accounting for
96
million pounds at an average contract price of $
3.94
per pound, with maturities through December 2024.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Embedded Derivatives.
Certain FCX concentrate, copper cathode and gold 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 or cathode at the then-current LME or COMEX copper price, and the London gold price. 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 or cathode 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.

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 March 31, 2023, Atlantic Copper held net copper forward sales contracts for
12
million pounds at an average contract price of $
4.01
per pound, with maturities through May 2023.

FCX’s commodity contracts have netting arrangements with counterparties with which the right of offset exists, and it is FCX’s policy to generally offset balances by contract on its balance sheet. FCX’s embedded derivatives on provisional sales/purchase contracts are netted with the corresponding outstanding receivable/payable balances.

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 March 31, 2023, the maximum amount of credit exposure associated with derivative transactions was $
134
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 March 31, 2023, FCX has 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 first-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.
15
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 third-quarter 2018. The contingent consideration included in (i) other current assets totaled $
17
million at March 31, 2023, and $
20
million at December 31, 2022, and (ii) other assets totaled $
46
million at March 31, 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 March 31, 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 three months of 2023 follows (in millions):

CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
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
16
Table of Contents
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
Smelter Development Progress
. 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 related to lack of smelter development in light of the COVID-19 pandemic (first-quarter 2022 included charges of $
41
million associated with the administrative fine). Based on PT-FI’s revised smelter construction schedule, PT-FI does not believe any additional fines should be applied and will dispute any attempts by the Indonesia government to levy additional fines, which could be significant.
PT-FI Export License.
Indonesia regulations require PT-FI and PT Smelting to renew their export licenses annually, subject to review by the Indonesia government every
six months
, depending on smelter construction progress. In March 2023, PT-FI received an extension of its export license through June 10, 2023. PT-FI's special mining license provides that exports may continue through 2023, subject to force majeure considerations. PT-FI is working with the Indonesia government to obtain approval to continue exports as required for PT-FI’s operations until the Indonesia smelter projects are fully commissioned and reach designed operating conditions.
PT-FI Export Duties.
In late 2022, PT-FI’s export duty rate 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
%, allowing PT-FI’s export duties to be eliminated effective March 29, 2023.
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 mines to other segments, including Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining and, through December 31, 2022, on
39.5
% of PT-FI’s sales to PT Smelting, 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 concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement. Under this arrangement, PT-FI pays PT Smelting a tolling fee to smelt and refine its concentrate and PT-FI retains title to all products for sale to third parties (
i.e.,
there are no further sales from PT-FI to PT Smelting). While the new tolling agreement with PT Smelting does not significantly change PT-FI’s economics, it impacted the timing of PT-FI’s first-quarter 2023 sales and working capital requirements, as a portion of PT-FI’s first-quarter 2023 production was deferred in inventory and will be sold as refined metal in future periods.
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 March 31, 2023, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 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.

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.
We faced a number of operational challenges in first-quarter 2023, including a significant weather event in Indonesia, civil unrest in Peru and productivity challenges in the U.S. In addition, beginning January 1, 2023, PT Freeport Indonesia’s (PT-FI) commercial arrangement with PT Smelting (PT-FI’s 39.5% owned copper smelter and refinery in Gresik, Indonesia) converted from a concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement, which resulted in a deferral of sales to future periods. As a result of the transition, approximately 110 million pounds of copper and 110 thousand ounces of gold from PT-FI’s first-quarter 2023 production is deferred in inventory and will be sold in future periods. We currently expect increasing sales volumes for the remainder of 2023.
We believe we have a strong balance sheet and a favorable outlook for cash flow generation to support continued organic growth and cash returns to shareholders. Our organic growth pipeline is highlighted by our leach innovation initiatives, which are gaining momentum and are targeted to achieve an annual run rate of approximately 200 million pounds of copper per year by the end of 2023.
Refer to “Operations” for further discussion.
Net income attributable to common stockholders totaled $663 million in first-quarter 2023, compared with $1.5 billion in first-quarter 2022, primarily reflecting lower copper and gold sales volumes, a lower average realized price for copper and increased costs for maintenance and supplies and energy. Refer to “Consolidated Results” for further discussion of these impacts, and for discussion of the change in our economic interest in PT-FI beginning January 1, 2023.
At March 31, 2023, we had consolidated debt of $9.6 billion and consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $6.9 billion, resulting in net debt of $2.8 billion ($1.3 billion excluding net debt for the Manyar smelter and precious metals refinery (PMR) in Indonesia - collectively, the Indonesia smelter projects). In March 2023, we used approximately $1 billion of cash to fund the maturity of our 3.875% Senior Notes. Refer to “Net Debt” for reconciliations of consolidated debt and consolidated cash and cash equivalents to net debt.
At March 31, 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.
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

Table of Contents
beyond our control. Our projected 2023 financial results are also dependent on an extension of PT-FI's export license after June 10, 2023. 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.
Consolidated Sales Volumes
Following are our projected consolidated sales volumes for the year 2023:
Copper
(millions of recoverable pounds):
North America copper mines
1,382
South America mining
1,222
Indonesia mining
1,453
Total
4,057
Gold

1.8
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 second-quarter 2023 are expected to approximate 1.1 billion pounds of copper, 500 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, including the extension of PT-FI's export license after June 10, 2023, 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 $2,000 per ounce of gold and $18.00 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 $1.51 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2023). The impact of price changes during the remainder of 2023 on consolidated unit net cash costs for the year 2023 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 $2.00 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum. Quarterly unit net cash costs also vary with fluctuations in other volumes and realized prices, such as those for gold and molybdenum.
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 $4.00 per pound for copper, $2,000 per ounce for gold, and $18.00 per pound for molybdenum for the remainder of 2023, our consolidated operating cash flows are estimated to approximate $7.0 billion (including $0.3 billion of working capital and other sources) for the year 2023. Estimated consolidated operating cash flows for the year 2023 also reflect an estimated income tax provision of $2.6 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 $315 million for each $0.10 per pound change in the average price of copper, $140 million for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $90 million for each $2.00 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.
Consolidated Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $5.1 billion for the year 2023 (including $2.4 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 $1.1 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
22

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 March 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.
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 March 2023. During first-quarter 2023, LME copper settlement prices ranged from a low of $3.72 per pound to a high of $4.28 per pound, averaged $4.05 per pound and settled at $4.05 per pound on March 31, 2023. Physical market tightness continues to provide significant support to the price of copper, and inventory levels remain low with slightly more than three days of global consumption available. The LME copper settlement price was $3.89 per pound on April 28, 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.

During first-quarter 2023, London PM gold prices ranged from a low of $1,811 per ounce to a high of $1,994 per ounce, averaged $1,890 per ounce, and closed at $1,980 per ounce on March 31, 2023. Forecasts are divided as analysts are weighing the liquidity concerns in the U.S. banking sector and weakness of the U.S. dollar against the expected central bank response to persistent inflation. The London PM gold price was $1,983 per ounce on April 28, 2023.

During first-quarter 2023, the weekly average price of molybdenum ranged from a low of $24.65 per pound to a high of $37.42 per pound and averaged $32.78 per pound. As China increased exports, molybdenum prices declined significantly from the first quarter high. We believe long-term fundamentals for molybdenum are positive with favorable demand drivers and limited supply. The

Revenues
Consolidated revenues totaled $5.4 billion in first-quarter 2023 and $6.6 billion in first-quarter 2022. Revenues from our mining operations and processing facilities primarily include the sale of copper concentrate, copper cathode, copper rod, gold in concentrate and molybdenum. Refer to Note 9 for a summary of product revenues.

Sales Volumes.
Consolidated copper and gold sales volumes decreased in first-quarter 2023, compared with first-quarter 2022, primarily as a result of the deferral of sales recognition related to the PT Smelting tolling arrangement and the timing of shipments. In addition, PT-FI experienced lower operating rates at the Grasberg minerals district associated with a significant weather event that temporarily disrupted operations during February 2023.
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 first-quarter 2023, compared with first-quarter 2022, were 12% lower for copper, 2% higher for gold and 57% higher for molybdenum.
Average realized copper prices include net favorable adjustments to current period provisionally priced copper sales totaling $21 million in first-quarter 2023 and $116 million in first-quarter 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 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.
Prior Period Provisionally Priced Copper Sales.
Net favorable adjustments to prior periods’ provisionally priced copper sales (
i.e.
, provisionally priced sales at December 31, 2022 and 2021) recorded in consolidated revenues totaled $210 million in first-quarter 2023 and $102 million in first-quarter 2022. Refer to Notes 6 and 9 for a summary of total adjustments to prior period and current period provisionally priced sales.
26
Table of Contents
At March 31, 2023, we had provisionally priced copper sales totaling 262 million pounds of copper (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average of $4.08 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. We estimate that each $0.05 change in the price realized from the March 31, 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 $3.89 per pound on April 28, 2023.
Beginning January 1, 2023, PT-FI’s commercial arrangement with PT Smelting converted from a concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement. Under this arrangement PT-FI pays PT Smelting a tolling fee to smelt and refine its concentrate and PT-FI retains title to all products for sale to third parties (
i.e
., there are no further sales to PT Smelting). PT-FI’s sale of copper cathodes under the tolling arrangement are priced in the month of shipment and are not subject to provisional pricing.
Atlantic Copper Revenues.
Atlantic Copper revenues totaled $756 million in first-quarter 2023, compared with $718 million in first-quarter 2022. Higher revenues in first-quarter 2023, compared with first-quarter 2022, primarily reflects higher sales volumes.
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 48 million pounds in first-quarter 2023 and 15 million pounds in first-quarter 2022.
Treatment Charges.
Revenues from our 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 decrease in the treatment charges in first-quarter 2023 compared to first-quarter 2022 primarily reflects lower sales volumes and PT-FI’s commercial arrangement with PT Smelting converting from a 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).
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 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%, allowing PT-FI’s export duties to be eliminated effective March 29, 2023.
Lower royalties and export duties during first-quarter 2023, compared with first-quarter 2022, reflect lower PT-FI copper and gold sales volumes and copper prices as well as a lower export duty rate of 2.5% in first-quarter 2023, compared to 5% in first-quarter 2022.
Production and Delivery Costs
Consolidated production and delivery costs totaled $3.2 billion in both first-quarter 2023 and 2022, reflecting increased costs for energy (which represents approximately 21% of our site operating costs), unplanned maintenance and inflationary cost pressures on input costs, mostly offset by lower sales volumes.
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 $2.57 per pound of copper in first-quarter 2023 and $2.03 per pound of copper in first-quarter 2022.
Higher consolidated site production and delivery costs per pound of copper for first-quarter 2023, compared with first-quarter 2022, primarily reflect higher energy prices and increased costs for consumables such as sulfuric acid, explosives, key equipment parts and other supplies and services. Refer to “Operations – Unit Net Cash Costs” for further discussion of unit net cash costs 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. Lower consolidated depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) of $399 million in first-quarter 2023, compared to $489 million in first-quarter 2022, primarily reflects lower sales volumes from PT-FI.
27
Table of Contents
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 first-quarter 2023, compared to first-quarter 2022, primarily reflect net revisions to long-term historical environmental obligations totaling $56 million in first-quarter 2023.
Interest Expense, Net
Consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) totaled $207 million in first-quarter 2023 and $153 million in first-quarter 2022. The increase in consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) for the 2023 period, compared to the 2022 period, is primarily related to interest associated with PT-FI’s $3.0 billion of senior notes that were issued in April 2022 and a charge of $25 million related to contested tax matters in Peru.
Capitalized interest varies with the level of qualifying assets associated with our development projects and average interest rates on our borrowings. Capitalized interest totaled $56 million in first-quarter 2023 and $26 million in first-quarter 2022. The increase in capitalized interest costs for the 2023 period resulted from increased construction and development projects in process, primarily at our 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 $88 million in first-quarter 2023 and $31 million in first-quarter 2022. The increase in other income, net for the 2023 period, compared to the 2022 period, is primarily related to higher interest income.

d.
In accordance with applicable accounting rules, we adjust our interim provision for income taxes equal to our consolidated tax rate.
In August 2022, the Act was signed into law, which 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. The provisions of the Act became applicable to us on January 1, 2023. 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. 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 first-quarter 2023 financial results. 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. NOLs.
28
Table of Contents
Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and average prices of $4.00 per pound for copper, $2,000 per ounce for gold and $18.00 per pound for molybdenum for the remainder of 2023, we estimate our consolidated effective tax rate for the year 2023 would approximate 34%. 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 PT-FI, Cerro Verde and El Abra and totaled $386 million in first-quarter 2023 (which represented 25% of our consolidated income before income taxes) and $377 million in first-quarter 2022 (which represented 14% of our consolidated income before income taxes). Beginning January 1, 2023, our economic and equity ownership interest in PT-FI is 48.76%. Prior to January 1, 2023, our economic interest in PT-FI approximated 81%. As discussed in Note 3 of our 2022 Form 10-K, in accordance with provisions pertaining to PT-FI’s shareholders agreement, our 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. Based on current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming average prices of $4.00 per pound of copper, $2,000 per ounce of gold and $18.00 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 $2.2 billion for the year 2023 (which would represent 30% of our consolidated income before income taxes). The actual amount will depend on many factors, including relative performance of each business segment, commodity prices, costs and other factors.
Refer to Note 9 for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for each of our business segments.
OPERATIONS
Responsible Production
2022 Annual Report on Sustainability.
In April 2023, we published our 2022 Annual Report on Sustainability, which is available on our website at
fcx.com/sustainability
, marking our 22nd year of reporting on our sustainability progress. We are committed to building upon our achievements in sustainability and our position as a leading responsible copper producer.
The Copper Mark.
We demonstrate our responsible production performance through the Copper Mark, a comprehensive assurance framework developed specifically for the copper industry. To achieve the Copper Mark, each site is required to complete an independent external assurance process to assess conformance with 32 environmental, social and governance criteria. Awarded sites must be revalidated every three years.
We have achieved the Copper Mark at all 12 of our copper producing sites globally. In addition, following the extension of the Copper Mark framework to molybdenum producers in 2022, our two primary molybdenum mines and four copper mines that produce by-product molybdenum were awarded the Molybdenum Mark.
Leaching Innovation Initiatives
We are continuing to advance efforts to increase copper production through enhanced recoveries from our large existing leach stockpiles. We have added covers to over 30% of our historical leach pads in an effort to increase temperatures and enhance recovery within the stockpiles. We are also pursuing third-party and internal initiatives for additives to enhance recovery and have identified new areas of leach opportunities on existing stockpiles and are using data analytics to improve our operating practices. The data analytics work is providing new insights to determine optimal operating protocols under various conditions of the stockpiles. Based on results to date, we are gaining confidence in achieving our annual-run-rate target of approximately 200 million pounds of copper by the end of 2023, with potentially larger opportunities in the future.
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 $50 million in first-quarter 2023 and $20 million in first-quarter 2022. We estimate the costs of these studies will
29
Table of Contents
approximate $200 million for the year 2023 (including approximately $70 million in second-quarter 2023), compared with approximately $140 million for the year 2022, 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.
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 development planning for a potential significant long-term investment for development of identified large sulfide resources.
We are planning an expansion to double the concentrator capacity of the Bagdad operation in northwest Arizona. We are conducting a feasibility study, which is expected to be completed in the second half of 2023. In parallel, we are advancing plans for expanded tailings infrastructure projects to support Bagdad's long-range plans. The timing of future developments will be dependent on market conditions, labor and supply chain considerations and other economic factors.
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.

Refer to “Consolidated Results” for our consolidated molybdenum sales volumes, which include sales of molybdenum produced at the North America copper mines.
Our consolidated copper sales volumes from North America of 332 million pounds in first-quarter 2023 were lower than first-quarter 2022 copper sales volumes of 381 million pounds, primarily reflecting the timing of shipments in first-quarter 2022 and reduced production in first-quarter 2023 associated with lower mining rates, lower ore grades and unplanned maintenance, 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.
Gross Profit per Pound of Copper and Molybdenum

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 $2.45 per pound of copper in first-quarter 2023 were higher than first-quarter 2022 unit net cash costs of $2.13 per pound of copper, primarily reflecting lower volumes and increased costs for maintenance and supplies, labor and energy, partly offset by higher molybdenum by-product credits.
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 $2.62 per pound of copper for the year 2023, based on achievement of current volume and cost estimates and assuming an average molybdenum price of $18.00 per pound for the remainder of 2023. North America’s average unit net cash costs for the year 2023 would change by approximately $0.03 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum for the remainder 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

Refer to “Consolidated Results” for our consolidated molybdenum sales volumes, which include sales of molybdenum produced at Cerro Verde.
Beginning in December 2022 and continuing in first-quarter 2023, heightened tensions, protests and social unrest emerged in Peru following a change in the country's political leadership. Cerro Verde operated at reduced rates from time to time during first-quarter 2023. While demonstrations and road blockages subsided in recent weeks, the potential for civil unrest and disruption of commerce and supply chains continues. Cerro Verde resumed normal operations in March 2023. We continue to monitor the situation with a priority on safety and security.
Our consolidated copper sales volumes from South America of 302 million pounds in first-quarter 2023 were higher than first-quarter 2022 copper sales volumes of 264 million pounds, primarily reflecting higher mining rates. 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.

Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America mining of $2.20 per pound of copper in first-quarter 2023 were higher than first-quarter 2022 unit net cash costs of $2.16 per pound of copper, primarily reflecting higher energy and other input costs, partly offset by the impact of higher volumes and molybdenum by-product credits.
Revenues from Cerro Verde’s concentrate sales are recorded net of treatment charges, which will vary with Cerro Verde’s sales volumes and the price of copper.
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.
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.

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.
Under the terms of agreements entered into in 2018, our economic interest in PT-FI approximated 81% through 2022, and beginning January 1, 2023, our economic interest in PT-FI is 48.76% (refer to Note 1 for further discussion).
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.
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 cumulative annualized production volumes of approximately 1.6 billion pounds of copper and 1.6 million ounces of gold.
34
Table of Contents
PT-FI is completing a project to install additional milling facilities, currently expected to be completed in early 2024. The project will increase milling capacity to approximately 240,000 metric tons of ore per day to provide sustained large scale production volumes. PT-FI is also advancing a mill recovery project with the installation of a new copper cleaner circuit that is expected to be completed in 2024 and is expected 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.
Mining Rights
. PT-FI and the Indonesia government continue to engage in discussions regarding the extension of PT-FI's mining rights under its special mining license (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.
Indonesia Smelter
. In connection with PT-FI’s 2018 agreement with the Indonesia government to secure the extension of its long-term mining rights, PT-FI committed to construct additional domestic smelting capacity totaling 2 million metric tons of concentrate per year by the end of 2023 (subject to force majeure provisions). PT-FI is actively engaged in the following projects for additional domestic smelting capacity:
•
Construction of the Manyar smelter in Gresik, Indonesia with a capacity to process approximately 1.7 million metric tons of copper concentrate per year. Smelter construction was approximately 60% complete at March 31, 2023, and is expected to be commissioned during 2024 at an estimated cost of $3.0 billion, including $2.8 billion for a construction contract (excluding capitalized interest, owner’s costs and commissioning) and $0.2 billion for investment in a desalinization plant.
•
Expansion of PT Smelting's capacity by 30% 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 upon project completion.
•
Construction of a PMR to process gold and silver from the Manyar smelter and PT Smelting at an estimated cost of $400 million. Construction is in progress with commissioning expected during 2024.
During first-quarter 2023, capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects totaled $0.3 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 April 2022 senior notes offering and availability under its revolving credit facility.
Export License
. In March 2023, PT-FI received an extension of its export license through June 10, 2023. PT-FI's IUPK provides that exports may continue through 2023, subject to force majeure considerations. PT-FI is working with the Indonesia government to obtain approval to continue exports as required for PT-FI’s operations until the Indonesia smelter projects are fully commissioned and reach designed operating conditions.
In late 2022, PT-FI’s export duty rate 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%, allowing PT-FI’s export duties to be eliminated effective March 29, 2023.

On February 11, 2023, PT-FI’s operations were temporarily disrupted because of significant rainfall and landslides, which restricted access to infrastructure near its milling operations. After recovery activities and the clearing of debris, PT-FI resumed operations by the end of February 2023 and achieved a full recovery in March 2023. PT-FI expects milling rates to average in excess of 200,000 metric tons of ore per day for the remainder of 2023.
Our consolidated sales of 198 million pounds of copper and 266 thousand ounces of gold in first-quarter 2023 were lower than first-quarter 2022 consolidated sales of 379 million pounds of copper and 406 thousand ounces of gold, primarily as a result of the timing of sales associated with the transition to a tolling arrangement with PT Smelting in 2023 and the impact of the temporary disruption of operations in February 2023 associated with the significant weather event.
Consolidated sales volumes from PT-FI are expected to approximate 1.5 billion pounds of copper and 1.8 million ounces of gold for the year 2023, net of a deferral of approximately 110 million pounds of copper and 140 thousand ounces of gold from mine production under tolling arrangements to be processed and sold as refined metal in future periods.
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.

b.
Includes charges totaling $0.11 per pound of copper associated with the settlement of an administrative fine levied by the Indonesia government (refer to Note 8 for further discussion), and $0.05 per pound of copper associated with an adjustment to prior-period export duties, partly offset by credits totaling $0.08 per pound of copper associated with adjustments to prior year treatment and refining costs.
PT-FI's unit net cash credits (including gold and silver credits) of $0.08 per pound of copper in first-quarter 2023 were in line with unit net cash credits of $0.06 per pound in first-quarter 2022, reflecting higher gold and silver credits, mostly offset by lower 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 first-quarter 2023, compared to first-quarter 2022, reflects higher costs associated with the new tolling arrangement with PT Smelting compared to the previous 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 in our unit net cash (credits) costs presentation.
PT-FI’s export duties totaled $17 million in first-quarter 2023 and $79 million in first-quarter 2022, and PT-FI’s royalties totaled $58 million in first-quarter 2023 and $92 million in first-quarter 2022. The decrease in export duties and royalties primarily reflects lower sales volumes. In late 2022, PT-FI’s export duty rate declined from 5% to 2.5% and was eliminated effective March 29, 2023.
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 first-quarter 2023, compared with first-quarter 2022, primarily reflects lower volumes associated with decreased operating rates as discussed above and significant 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.
PT Smelting intercompany profit (loss) 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 concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement. Under this arrangement, PT-FI pays PT Smelting a tolling fee to smelt and refine its concentrate and PT-FI retains title to all products for sales to third parties. Accordingly, beginning in 2023, there are no further sales to PT Smelting. Refer to “Smelting and Refining” below for further discussion.

Table of Contents
Assuming an average gold price $2,000 per ounce for the remainder 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 $0.15 per pound of copper for the year 2023. PT-FI's average unit net cash credits for the year 2023 would change by approximately $0.11 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold for the remainder of 2023.
PT-FI’s projected sales volumes and unit net cash costs for the year 2023 are dependent on a number of factors, including operational performance, timing of shipments and the extension of PT-FI's export license after June 10, 2023.

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 8 million pounds of molybdenum in first-quarter 2023 and was slightly higher than production of 7 million pounds of molybdenum in first-quarter 2022, primarily reflecting higher milling rates. 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 the decline in 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 $12.24 per pound of molybdenum in first-quarter 2023 were higher than average unit net cash costs of $10.89 per pound in first-quarter 2022, primarily reflecting increased contract labor and input costs, partly offset by higher volumes. Based on current volume and cost estimates, average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines are expected to approximate $13.36 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 concentrate production.
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 first-quarter 2023, Atlantic Copper’s concentrate purchases included 37% from our copper mining operations and 63% from third parties.

Table of Contents
Beginning on January 1, 2023, PT-FI's commercial arrangement with PT Smelting converted from a concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement. Under this arrangement, PT-FI pays PT Smelting a tolling fee (which PT-FI records as production costs in the consolidated statements of income) to smelt and refine its concentrate and PT-FI retains title to all products for sale to third parties (
i.e.
, there are no further sales to PT Smelting). While the new tolling agreement with PT Smelting does not significantly change PT-FI's economics, it impacted the timing of PT-FI's first-quarter 2023 sales and working capital requirements. PT-FI's first-quarter 2023 production exceeded its sales primarily associated with the deferral of mine production under the tolling arrangement that will be processed and sold as refined metal in future periods.
We defer recognizing profits on sales from our mining operations to Atlantic Copper and, through December 31, 2022, on 39.5% of PT-FI’s sales to PT Smelting until final sales to third parties occur. Changes in these deferrals attributable to variability in intercompany volumes resulted in net additions to operating income totaling $111 million ($48 million to net income attributable to common stock) in first-quarter 2023 and $46 million ($23 million to net income attributable to common stock) in first-quarter 2022. Our net deferred profits on our inventories at Atlantic Copper to be recognized in future periods’ net income attributable to common stock totaled $51 million at March 31, 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.
The banking industry has experienced disruption in recent months following the failure of certain banks, resulting in increased volatility in the global financial markets. Although these events have not had a financial impact on our business, we continue to monitor the instability in the banking industry, including any impacts on our suppliers and customers.
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 $7.0 billion for the year 2023 exceed our expected consolidated capital expenditures of $5.1 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).
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 March 31, 2023, we had $6.9 billion of consolidated cash and cash equivalents (which includes $1.5 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 interest 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.
39
Table of Contents
At March 31, 2023, our net debt, excluding net debt for the Indonesia smelter projects, totaled $1.3 billion. Refer to "Net Debt" for further discussion.
In March 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 May 1, 2023, to shareholders of record as of April 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 May 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 March 31, 2023 (in billions):

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 March 31, 2023, consolidated debt totaled $9.6 billion, with a weighted-average interest rate of 5.1%. 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 March 31, 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 $1.1 billion (net of $0.5 billion of working capital and other uses) in first-quarter 2023 and $1.7 billion (net of $0.8 billion of working capital and other uses) in first-quarter 2022. Lower operating cash flows in first-quarter 2023, compared with first-quarter 2022, primarily reflected lower copper prices and the impact of lower sales volumes primarily associated with PT-FI’s transition to a tolling arrangement with PT Smelting.
Investing Activities
Capital Expenditures.
Capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, totaled $1.1 billion in first-quarter 2023, including approximately $0.4 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.
Capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, totaled $0.7 billion in first-quarter 2022, including approximately $0.4 billion for major mining projects primarily associated with underground development activities in the Grasberg minerals district and $0.1 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects.

Loans to PT Smelting for Expansion.
PT-FI made loans to PT Smelting totaling $24 million in first-quarter 2023 and $9 million in first-quarter 2022 to fund PT Smelting’s expansion project.
Financing Activities
Debt Transactions.
Net repayments of debt totaled $1.0 billion in first-quarter 2023 reflecting the repayment of our 3.875% Senior Notes that matured in March 2023. Net proceeds from debt totaled $170 million in first-quarter 2022.
Cash Dividends on Common Stock.
We paid cash dividends on our common stock totaling $217 million in first-quarter 2023 and $220 million in first-quarter 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 $204 million in first-quarter 2022 (none in first-quarter 2023). At March 31, 2023, we had dividends payable to noncontrolling interests totaling $134 million recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets that will be paid in second-quarter 2023. Based on the estimates discussed in “Outlook,” we currently expect cash dividends and distributions paid to noncontrolling interests to exceed $2.0 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 12.3 million shares in first-quarter 2022 for a cost of $541 million. No shares have been purchased since July 11, 2022. As of May 4, 2023, we had $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 in first-quarter 2023 and $47 million in first-quarter 2022 from PT Mineral Industri Indonesia (formerly PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (Persero), (MIND ID)). Contributions in first-quarter 2023 were primarily associated with receipt of the final capital contribution in accordance with the PT-FI shareholders agreement. Contributions in first-quarter 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 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.
There have been no significant changes to our environmental liabilities and 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.

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 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 achievement of a net debt target in the range of $3.0 billion to $4.0 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.

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 maintaining 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; 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; production rates; timing of shipments; results of technical, economic or feasibility studies; potential inventory adjustments; potential impairment of long-lived mining assets; PT-FI's ability to export and sell copper concentrate and anode slimes; satisfaction of requirements in accordance with PT-FI's IUPK to extend mining rights from 2031 through 2041; the Indonesia government's approval of a deferred schedule for completion of additional domestic smelting capacity in Indonesia; discussions relating to the extension of 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 innovation, 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.
