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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

PT-FI. 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 September 30, 2023, and through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and determined any events and transactions occurring during this period that would require recognition or disclosure are appropriately addressed in these consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

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

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

Shares associated with outstanding stock options with exercise prices greater than the average market price of FCX’s common stock during the period are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share of common stock. There were no shares of common stock associated with outstanding stock options excluded in the

third quarter and first nine months of 2023, and 3 million shares and 1 million shares excluded for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively.

NOTE 3. INVENTORIES, INCLUDING LONG-TERM MILL AND LEACH STOCKPILES

The components of inventories follow (in millions):


	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Current inventories:
Raw materials (primarily copper concentrate)	$	467	$	443

Leach stockpiles	1,067		1,053
Total long-term mill and leach stockpilesc	$	1,327	$	1,252

a.The increase in finished goods inventory at September 30, 2023, was primarily associated with the change in PT-FI's commercial arrangement with PT Smelting (PT-FI’s 39.5% owned copper smelter and refinery in Gresik, Indonesia) from a copper concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement beginning on January 1, 2023, and also included approximately 75 thousand ounces of gold available for sale pending approval of PT-FI’s export license for anode slimes. See Note 8 for further discussion.

b.Materials and supplies inventory was net of obsolescence reserves totaling $31 million at September 30, 2023, and $39 million at December 31, 2022.

c.Estimated metals in stockpiles not expected to be recovered within the next 12 months.

NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES

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


	Nine Months Ended

	2023		2022
U.S. operations	$	3	$	(5)
International operations	(1,549)		(1,705)		a
Total	$	(1,546)	$	(1,710)

a.Includes a credit of $31 million, primarily associated with completion of Cerro Verde’s 2016 tax audit.

FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate was 36% for the first nine months of 2023 and 33% for the first nine months of 2022. A higher 2023 effective income tax rate primarily reflects the impact of pre-tax, nondeductible charges totaling $142 million for the first nine months of 2023 associated with contested tax rulings issued by the Peruvian Supreme Court. In addition, variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income result in fluctuations to FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate. Because of its U.S. tax position, FCX does not record a tax impact for income or losses generated in the U.S.

The provisions of the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the Act) became applicable to FCX on January 1, 2023. The Act includes, among other provisions, a new Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) of 15% on the adjusted financial statement income (AFSI) of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1.0 billion over a three-year period. FCX has made interpretations of certain provisions of the Act, and based on these interpretations, determined that the provisions of the Act did not impact FCX’s financial results for the first nine months of 2023.

Table of Contents

There has been limited guidance released by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the Treasury) on how the CAMT provisions of the Act should be applied or otherwise administered, and uncertainty remains regarding their application. In October 2023, the Treasury stated publicly that it expects to issue proposed rules regarding the application of the CAMT by the end of 2023. Future guidance released by the Treasury may differ from FCX’s interpretations, which could be material and may further limit its ability to realize future benefits from its U.S. net operating losses.

NOTE 5. DEBT AND EQUITY

The components of debt follow (in millions):

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 September 30, 2023, FCX had $7 million in letters of credit issued under its revolving credit facility.

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

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

Senior Notes.

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

Beginning in 2022 and through November 3, 2023, FCX has purchased $1.3 billion aggregate principal amount of its senior notes in open-market transactions for a total cost of $1.2 billion, including $102 million aggregate principal amount in third-quarter 2023 and $233 million in the first nine months of 2023. A summary of the senior note purchases and related gains on debt extinguishments for the first nine months of 2023 follows (in millions):

Interest Expense, Net. Consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) totaled $165 million in third-quarter 2023, $182 million in third-quarter 2022, $606 million for the first nine months of 2023 and $524 million for the first nine months of 2022. Consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) for the first nine months of 2023, includes

Table of Contents

interest charges totaling $74 million associated with Cerro Verde’s contested tax rulings issued by the Peruvian Supreme Court.

Capitalized interest added to property, plant, equipment and mine development costs, net, totaled $69 million in third-quarter 2023, $42 million in third-quarter 2022, $188 million for the first nine months of 2023 and $101 million for the first nine months of 2022. The increase in capitalized interest costs in the 2023 periods, compared to the 2022 periods, primarily resulted from increased construction and development projects in process, primarily at the Manyar smelter and precious metals refinery in Indonesia (collectively, the Indonesia smelter projects).

Share Repurchase Program and Dividends. Beginning in mid-2021 and through July 11, 2022, FCX 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). FCX has $3.2 billion available for repurchases under the program.

On September 20, 2023, FCX’s Board of Directors (Board) declared cash dividends totaling $0.15 per share on its common stock (including a $0.075 per share quarterly base cash dividend and a $0.075 per share quarterly variable, performance-based cash dividend), which was paid on November 1, 2023, to common stockholders of record as of October 13, 2023.

The declaration and payment of dividends (base or variable) and timing and amount of any share repurchases are at the discretion of FCX’s Board and management, respectively, and are subject to a number of factors, including not exceeding FCX’s net debt target, capital availability, FCX’s financial results, cash requirements, global economic conditions, changes in laws, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by FCX’s Board or management, as applicable. FCX’s share repurchase program may be modified, increased, suspended or terminated at any time at the Board’s discretion.

NOTE 6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

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

A discussion of FCX’s 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. At September 30, 2023, FCX held copper futures and swap contracts that qualified for hedge accounting for 85 million pounds at an average contract price of $3.85 per pound, with maturities through May 2025.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments.

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

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


	Open Positions	Average Price Per Unit				Maturities Through
		Contract		Market
Embedded derivatives in provisional sales contracts:
Copper (millions of pounds)	553	$	3.78	$	3.75	February 2024

Embedded derivatives in provisional purchase contracts:
Copper (millions of pounds)	165	3.80		3.75		January 2024

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 September 30, 2023, Atlantic Copper held net copper forward purchase contracts for 19 million pounds at an average contract price of $3.77 per pound, with maturities through November 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 September 30, 2023, the maximum amount of credit exposure associated with derivative transactions was $16 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 September 30, 2023, FCX had contingent consideration assets related to the sales of certain oil and gas properties (refer to Note 7 for the related fair values).

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

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

c.Refer to Note 6 for further discussion and balance sheet classifications.

d.Recorded at cost except for debt assumed in acquisitions, which are recorded at fair value at the respective acquisition dates.

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.

Table of Contents

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

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

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

In December 2016, FCX’s sale of its Deepwater GOM oil and gas properties included up to $150 million in contingent consideration that was recorded at the total amount under the loss recovery approach. The contingent consideration is being received over time as cash flows are realized from a third-party production handling agreement for an offshore platform, with the related payments commencing in 2018. The contingent consideration included in (i) other current assets totaled $17 million at September 30, 2023, and $20 million at December 31, 2022, and (ii) other assets totaled $38 million at September 30, 2023, and $47 million at December 31, 2022. The fair value of this contingent consideration was calculated based on a discounted cash flow model using inputs that include third-party estimates for reserves, production rates and production timing, and discount rates. Because significant inputs are not observable in the market, the contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

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

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

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



Fair value at January 1, 2023	$	57
Net unrealized gain related to assets still held at the end of the period	1
Settlements	(11)
Fair value at September 30, 2023	$	47

NOTE 8. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

Environmental

FCX recorded adjustments to environmental obligations totaling $83 million in third-quarter 2023 and $199 million for the first nine months of 2023, primarily related to Pinal Creek in Arizona for a refined engineering evaluation and Newtown Creek in New York based on a focused feasibility study for an early action in the East Branch tributary. Refer to Note 12 of FCX’s 2022 Form 10-K for further discussion of FCX’s environmental obligations.

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

Historical Smelter Sites. On January 30, 2017, a putative class action titled Juan Duarte, Betsy Duarte and N.D., Infant, by Parents and Natural Guardians Juan Duarte and Betsy Duarte, Leroy Nobles and Betty Nobles, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated v. United States Metals Refining Company, Freeport-McMoRan

Table of Contents

Copper & Gold Inc. and Amax Realty Development, Inc., Docket No. 734-17, was filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey. In July 2023, the Court approved an agreement between the parties pursuant to which all claims were settled for an amount not material to FCX.

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 matters discussed below.

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

Asbestos and Talc Claims. As previously discussed in Note 12 of FCX’s 2022 Form 10-K, in 2021 Imerys Talc America (Imerys), an affiliate of Imerys S.A., filed the form of a settlement and release agreement to be entered into by Cyprus Amax Minerals Company (CAMC), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of FCX, Cyprus Mines Corporation (Cyprus Mines), a wholly owned subsidiary of CAMC, FCX, Imerys and the other debtors, tort claimants’ committee and future claims representative in the Imerys bankruptcy. The bankruptcy court continues to temporarily stay approximately 950 talc-related lawsuits against CAMC, Cyprus Mines, FCX and Imerys but there can be no assurance that the bankruptcy court will continue to impose the interim stay.

In accordance with the global settlement agreement, among other things, (1) CAMC agreed to contribute a total of $130 million in cash to a settlement trust in seven annual installments, which will be guaranteed by FCX, and (2) CAMC and Cyprus Mines and their affiliates will contribute to the settlement trust all rights that they have to the proceeds of certain legacy insurance policies as well as indemnity rights they have against Johnson & Johnson. Mediation to resolve open issues in the Imerys and Cyprus Mines bankruptcy cases is ongoing, including the adequacy of the settlement and agreed contribution from CAMC, with a deadline for the parties to complete mediation by December 31, 2023, set by the bankruptcy court.

There can be no assurance that the global settlement will be successfully implemented.

Other Matters

Indonesia Regulatory Matters

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

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

On July 24, 2023, PT-FI was granted an export license through May 2024 for 1.7 million metric tons of copper concentrate.

Through June 10, 2023, PT-FI exported anode slimes under PT Smelting’s export license. A change in regulations during second-quarter 2023 requires PT-FI to follow a new administrative process for the export of anode slimes. The administrative process is advancing, and PT-FI expects to receive approval to resume exports of anode slimes during fourth-quarter 2023.

Table of Contents

PT-FI will continue to work with the Indonesia government to obtain approvals to continue exports of copper concentrates and anode slimes beyond May 2024 and until the Indonesia smelter projects are fully commissioned and reach designed operating conditions.

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

In July 2023, the Ministry of Finance issued a revised regulation on duties for various exported products, including copper concentrates. The revised regulation assesses export duties for copper concentrates at 7.5% in the second half of 2023 and 10% in 2024 for companies with smelter progress of 70% to 90%. For companies with smelter progress above 90%, export duties would be 5% in the second half of 2023 and 7.5% in 2024. During third-quarter 2023, PT-FI incurred $147 million in export duties under the revised regulation. PT-FI does not believe any export duties should be assessed under the revised regulation and continues to discuss the applicability of the revised regulation with the Indonesia government because of inconsistencies with its IUPK. Additionally, PT-FI is required by the Indonesia government to provide bank guarantees for unpaid export duties, which have been presented as current restricted cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2023.

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

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

In May 2023, MEMR issued a decree prescribing a revised formula for administrative fines for delays in construction of smelter and refining facilities, taking into account allowances for certain delays associated with the COVID-19 pandemic as verified by a third-party. In mid-July 2023, PT-FI submitted its third-party verified calculation, which resulted in an accrual for a potential administrative fine of $55 million based on the formula prescribed by the decree related to the period from August 2020 through January 2022. PT-FI continues to discuss the applicability of this administrative fine with MEMR. Based on PT-FI’s revised smelter construction schedule, which was accepted by the Indonesia government in connection with the renewal of PT-FI's export license in early 2022, PT-FI does not believe any additional fines should be assessed under the decree.

Smelter Assurance. PT-FI has an assurance bond to support its commitment for additional smelter development in Indonesia, totaling $135 million at September 30, 2023, for which the terms have been fulfilled (refer to Note 7). In August 2023, PT-FI submitted a request to MEMR for release of the assurance bond and is awaiting a response.

The decree issued by MEMR in May 2023 also requires assurance in the form of an escrow account that will be released if smelter development progress reaches 90% of the construction plan by June 10, 2024. During third-quarter 2023, PT-FI deposited $10 million in a joint account with the Indonesia government while it continues to discuss the applicability of the May 2023 decree with the Indonesia government. If the May 2023 decree is determined to be applicable, PT-FI may be required to make an additional refundable deposit of approximately $370 million.

Export Proceeds. In accordance with a regulation issued by the Indonesia government that became effective August 1, 2023, 30% of PT-FI’s gross export proceeds are being temporarily deposited into Indonesia banks for a period of 90 days before withdrawal. At September 30, 2023, FCX had $0.5 billion in current restricted cash and cash equivalents deposited in Indonesia banks in accordance with this regulation.

NOTE 9. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

FCX has organized its mining operations into four primary divisions - North America copper mines, South America mining, Indonesia mining and Molybdenum mines, and operating segments that meet certain thresholds are reportable segments. Separately disclosed in the following tables are FCX’s reportable segments, which include the

Table of Contents

Morenci and Cerro Verde copper mines, the Grasberg minerals district (Indonesia Mining), the Rod & Refining operations and Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining.

Intersegment sales between FCX’s business segments are based on terms similar to arms-length transactions with third parties at the time of the sale. Intersegment sales may not be reflective of the actual prices ultimately realized because of a variety of factors, including additional processing, timing of sales to unaffiliated customers and transportation premiums.

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

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

FCX allocates certain operating costs, expenses and capital expenditures to its operating divisions and individual segments. However, not all costs and expenses applicable to an operation are allocated. U.S. federal and state income taxes are recorded and managed at the corporate level (included in Corporate, Other & Eliminations), whereas foreign income taxes are recorded and managed at the applicable country level. In addition, most mining exploration and research activities are managed on a consolidated basis, and those costs, along with some selling, general and administrative costs, are not allocated to the operating divisions or individual segments. Accordingly, the following Financial Information by Business Segment reflects management determinations that may not be indicative of what the actual financial performance of each operating division or segment would be if it was an independent entity.

Product Revenues. FCX’s revenues attributable to the products it sold for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 and 2022 follow (in millions):

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 September 30, 2023, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and equity for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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

Basis for Review Results

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

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

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

OVERVIEW

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

Our results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 reflect strong operating performance and continued execution of our business strategy. We remain focused on managing costs efficiently and continue to advance several important value-enhancing initiatives. Despite near-term global economic and market uncertainties, we are confident in our long-lived and high-quality asset base and have a favorable outlook on the long-term fundamentals for copper, driven by the global transition to clean energy. As a leading responsible supplier of copper with a strong balance sheet and a proven track record for successful project development, we believe we are well positioned to build long-term value for the benefit of our stakeholders.

Our near-term organic development pipeline is highlighted by our leach innovation initiatives, which we believe have the potential to provide substantial value from our existing leach material and reduce capital intensity for future projects. During third-quarter 2023, incremental copper production from these initiatives totaled 46 million pounds, and we are targeting achievement of an annual run rate of approximately 200 million pounds of copper by the end of 2023, with potentially larger opportunities in the future.

Cerro Verde's concentrator facilities continue to perform well, with milling rates averaging 431,300 metric tons of ore per day in third-quarter 2023, a new quarterly record. We also continue to progress our underground development activities at Grasberg, supporting large-scale, long-lived, low-cost operations. Refer to “Operations” for further discussion.

Net income attributable to common stockholders totaled $454 million in third-quarter 2023 and $1.5 billion for the first nine months of 2023, compared with $404 million in third-quarter 2022 and $2.8 billion for the first nine months of 2022. The increase in third-quarter 2023, compared to third-quarter 2022, primarily reflects higher copper sales volumes and copper prices, partly offset by a higher income tax provision. The decrease for the first nine months of 2023, compared with the first nine months of 2022, primarily reflects increased costs for maintenance and supplies, partly offset by a lower income tax provision. The 2023 periods were also impacted by the change in our economic interest in PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI) (refer to Note 1 for further discussion). Refer to “Consolidated Results” for further discussion of these impacts.

On July 24, 2023, PT-FI was granted an export license through May 2024 for 1.7 million metric tons of copper concentrate. Through June 10, 2023, PT-FI exported anode slimes under PT Smelting’s export license. A change in regulations during second-quarter 2023 requires PT-FI to follow a new administrative process for the export of anode slimes. The administrative process is advancing, and PT-FI expects to receive approval to resume exports of anode slimes during fourth-quarter 2023. Refer to Note 8 and “Operations – Indonesia Mining” for further discussion of Indonesia regulatory matters.

At September 30, 2023, we had consolidated debt of $9.4 billion and consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $5.7 billion ($6.25 billion, including $0.5 billion of current restricted cash and cash equivalents associated with a

Table of Contents

portion of PT-FI's export proceeds required to be temporarily deposited in Indonesia banks). Net debt totaled $3.2 billion ($0.8 billion excluding net debt for the Manyar smelter and precious metals refinery (PMR) in Indonesia (collectively, the Indonesia smelter projects)). Refer to “Net Debt” for reconciliations of consolidated debt, consolidated cash and cash equivalents and current restricted cash associated with PT-FI's export proceeds to net debt.

Beginning in 2022 and through November 3, 2023, we purchased $1.3 billion aggregate principal amount of our senior notes in open-market transactions for a total cost of $1.2 billion, including $102 million aggregate principal amount in third-quarter 2023 and $233 million in the first nine months of 2023.

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

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

OUTLOOK

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

Consolidated Sales Volumes

Following are our projected consolidated sales volumes for the year 2023:


Copper (millions of recoverable pounds):
North America copper mines	1,373
South America mining	1,194
Indonesia mining	1,489
Total	4,056

Gold (millions of recoverable ounces)	1.74

Molybdenum (millions of recoverable pounds)	80	a

a.Projected molybdenum sales include 50 million pounds produced by our North America and South America copper mines and 30 million pounds produced by our Molybdenum mines.

Consolidated sales volumes in fourth-quarter 2023 are expected to approximate 1.1 billion pounds of copper, 580 thousand ounces of gold and 20 million pounds of molybdenum. Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance, the resumption of anode slime exports at PT-FI, weather-related conditions, timing of shipments and other factors detailed in the "Cautionary Statement" below.

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 and Part II, Item 1A. herein.

Consolidated Unit Net Cash Costs

Assuming average prices of $1,900 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum for the remainder of 2023 and achievement of current volume and cost estimates, consolidated unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for our copper mines are expected to average $1.63 per pound of copper for the year 2023 (including $1.58 per pound of copper in fourth-quarter 2023). Estimated consolidated unit net cash costs for the year 2023 include assessment of a 7.5% export duty at PT-FI during the second half of 2023, which continues to be discussed with the Indonesia government. Quarterly unit net cash costs vary with fluctuations in sales volumes and realized prices, primarily for gold and molybdenum. The impact of price changes during fourth-quarter 2023 on consolidated unit net cash costs for the year 2023 would approximate $0.02 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $0.01 per pound of copper for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.

Table of Contents

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. Assuming average prices of $3.60 per pound for copper, $1,900 per ounce for gold, and $20.00 per pound for molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2023 and the resumption of anode slime exports at PT-FI, our consolidated operating cash flows are estimated to approximate $5.4 billion (net of $0.5 billion of working capital and other uses) for the year 2023. Estimated consolidated operating cash flows for the year 2023 also reflect an estimated income tax provision of $2.1 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 during fourth-quarter 2023 on operating cash flows for the year 2023 would approximate $115 million for each $0.10 per pound change in the average price of copper, $55 million for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $15 million for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.

Consolidated Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $4.8 billion for the year 2023 (including $1.9 billion for major mining projects and $1.6 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects). Projected capital expenditures for major mining projects include $1.3 billion for planned projects (primarily associated with underground mine development in the Grasberg minerals district and supporting mill and power capital costs) and $0.6 billion for discretionary growth projects (primarily for development of Kucing Liar, a mill recovery project with the installation of a new copper cleaner circuit at PT-FI, and expansion projects at Bagdad and Lone Star). We closely monitor market conditions and will continue to adjust our operating plans, including capital expenditures, to protect our liquidity and preserve our asset values, as necessary.

Capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects are being funded with 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 September 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 and Part II, Item 1A. herein.

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 September 2023. During third-quarter 2023, LME copper settlement prices ranged from a low of $3.64 per pound to a high of $3.96 per pound, averaged $3.79 per pound and settled at $3.73 per pound on September 29, 2023. Volatility continued across the copper market in third-quarter 2023, influenced by China’s mixed economic data and wide-ranging views about the global and U.S. economy. While still relatively low relative to consumption, inventory levels rose during third-quarter 2023, with slightly more than three days of global consumption available at the end of October 2023. Rising inventory levels have translated to copper price declines, and the LME copper settlement price was $3.65 per pound on October 31, 2023.

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

This graph presents London PM gold prices from January 2013 through September 2023. During third-quarter 2023, London PM gold prices ranged from a low of $1,871 per ounce to a high of $1,976 per ounce, averaged $1,928 per ounce, and closed at $1,871 per ounce on September 29, 2023. Forecasts are divided as analysts evaluate climbing treasury yields, the strength of the U.S. dollar, the potential lagged impact of a significant cumulative rate-hiking cycle, and sustained elevated geopolitical risk. The London PM gold price was $1,997 per ounce on October 31, 2023.

This graph presents the Platts Metals Daily Molybdenum Dealer Oxide weekly average price from January 2013 through September 2023. During third-quarter 2023, the weekly average price of molybdenum ranged from a low of $22.11 per pound to a high of $25.57 per pound, averaged $23.78 per pound and was $22.61 per pound on

Table of Contents

September 29, 2023. During third-quarter 2023, there was improved demand from Chinese steel mills, while downstream demand in Europe and North America remained low because of seasonality and economic weakness. Overall global demand for molybdenum was mixed with energy and aerospace sectors performing better than others, such as the construction sector. We believe long-term fundamentals for molybdenum are positive with favorable demand drivers and limited supply. The Platts Metals Daily Molybdenum Dealer Oxide weekly average price was $18.83 per pound on October 27, 2023.

Revenues

Consolidated revenues totaled $5.8 billion in third-quarter 2023, $5.0 billion in third-quarter 2022, and $17.0 billion for the first nine months of 2023 and 2022. Revenues from our mining operations and processing facilities primarily include the sale of copper in concentrate, copper cathode, copper rod, gold in concentrate and molybdenum. Refer to Note 9 for a summary of product revenues.

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


	Three Months Ended September 30		Nine Months Ended September 30

Consolidated revenues - 2023 period	$	5,824	$	16,950

Sales Volumes. Consolidated copper sales volumes increased in third-quarter 2023, compared to third-quarter 2022, primarily as a result of higher mining rates. Consolidated gold sales volumes decreased in third-quarter 2023, compared to third-quarter 2022, primarily reflecting the timing of shipments of anode slimes associated with a change in Indonesia administrative requirements for products that were previously being exported by PT Smelting.

Lower consolidated copper and gold sales volumes for the first nine months of 2023, compared to the 2022 period, primarily reflect the deferral of sales recognition related to the PT Smelting tolling arrangement. Lower copper sales

Table of Contents

volumes also reflected lower ore grades in North America, and lower gold sales volumes also reflected the timing of shipments of anode slimes in Indonesia.

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 third-quarter 2023, compared with third-quarter 2022, were 9% higher for copper, 13% higher for gold and 39% higher for molybdenum, and average realized prices for the first nine months of 2023, compared with the first nine months of 2022, were slightly lower for copper, 8% higher for gold and 40% higher for molybdenum.

Average realized copper prices include net unfavorable adjustments to current period provisionally priced copper sales totaling $34 million in third-quarter 2023, $44 million in third-quarter 2022, $152 million for the first nine months of 2023 and $832 million for the first nine months of 2022. As discussed in Note 6, all of our copper concentrate and some cathode sales contracts provide final copper pricing in a specified future month (generally one to four months from the shipment date) based primarily on quoted LME monthly average copper prices. We record revenues and invoice customers at the time of shipment based on then-current LME prices, which results in an embedded derivative on provisionally priced copper concentrate and cathode sales that is adjusted to fair value through earnings each period, using the period-end forward prices, until final pricing on the date of settlement. To the extent final prices are higher or lower than what was recorded on a provisional basis, an increase or decrease to revenues is recorded each reporting period until the date of final pricing. Accordingly, in times of rising copper prices, our revenues benefit from adjustments to the final pricing of provisionally priced sales pursuant to contracts entered into in prior periods; in times of falling copper prices, the opposite occurs.

Prior Period Provisionally Priced Copper Sales. Net favorable (unfavorable) adjustments to prior periods’ provisionally priced copper sales (i.e., provisionally priced sales at June 30, 2023 and 2022, and December 31, 2022 and 2021) recorded in consolidated revenues totaled $4 million in third-quarter 2023, $(228) million in third-quarter 2022, $183 million for the first nine months of 2023 and $58 million for the first nine months of 2022. Refer to Notes 6 and 9 for a summary of total adjustments to prior period and current period provisionally priced sales.

At September 30, 2023, we had provisionally priced copper sales totaling 257 million pounds of copper (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average of $3.75 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. We estimate that each $0.05 change in the price realized from the September 30, 2023, recorded provisional price would have an approximate $8 million effect on our 2023 net income attributable to common stock. The LME copper price settled at $3.65 per pound on October 31, 2023.

Atlantic Copper Revenues. Atlantic Copper revenues totaled $700 million in third-quarter 2023 and $2.2 billion for the first nine months of 2023, compared with $609 million in third-quarter 2022 and $1.8 billion for the first nine months of 2022. Higher revenues in the 2023 periods, compared with the 2022 periods, primarily reflects higher sales volumes, mostly because of reduced operations during 2022 associated with a scheduled major maintenance turnaround.

Purchased Copper. We purchase copper cathode primarily for processing by our Rod & Refining operations. The volumes of copper purchases vary depending on cathode production from our operations and totaled 18 million pounds in third-quarter 2023, 48 million pounds in third-quarter 2022, 85 million pounds for the first nine months of 2023 and 86 million pounds for the first nine months of 2022.

Treatment Charges. Revenues from our copper concentrate sales are recorded net of treatment charges (i.e., fees paid to smelters that are generally negotiated annually), which will vary with the sales volumes and the price of copper. The 2023 periods, compared to the 2022 periods, reflect (i) lower treatment charges at PT-FI associated with the change in its commercial arrangement with PT Smelting from a copper concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement (that is, beginning in 2023, costs incurred under the tolling arrangement are recorded as production costs in the consolidated statements of income) and (ii) higher rates for Cerro Verde and PT-FI’s copper concentrates.

Royalties and Export Duties. Royalties are primarily associated with PT-FI sales and vary with the volume of metal sold and the prices of copper and gold. In late 2022, the export duty rate on PT-FI’s sales declined from 5% to 2.5% as a result of smelter development progress, and effective March 29, 2023, export duties were eliminated upon verification by the Indonesia government that construction progress on the Manyar smelter exceeded 50%. Subsequently, in July 2023, the Indonesia government issued a revised regulation on duties for various exported

Table of Contents

products, including copper concentrates, and under the revised regulation, PT-FI is currently being assessed export duties for copper concentrates at 7.5% (refer to Note 8 for further discussion).

PT-FI incurred export duties totaling $147 million in third-quarter 2023 (associated with the revised regulation by the Indonesia government), $80 million in third-quarter 2022, $165 million for the first nine months of 2023 and $245 million for the first nine months of 2022.

Production and Delivery Costs

Consolidated production and delivery costs totaled $3.5 billion in third-quarter 2023, $3.4 billion in third-quarter 2022, $10.3 billion for the first nine months of 2023 and $9.5 billion for the first nine months of 2022. Higher costs in the 2023 periods, compared to the 2022 periods, primarily reflected increased consolidated operating rates, higher commodity-related costs across our operations and increased costs of labor (including increased contract labor), particularly in North America.

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 $2.27 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2023, $2.35 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2022, $2.40 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2023 and $2.16 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2022. 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. Consolidated depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) totaled $533 million in third-quarter 2023, $508 million in third-quarter 2022, and $1.5 billion for the first nine months of 2023 and 2022.

Environmental Obligations and Shutdown Costs

Environmental obligation costs reflect net revisions to our long-term environmental obligations, which vary from period to period because of changes to environmental laws and regulations, the settlement of environmental matters and/or circumstances affecting our operations that could result in significant changes in our estimates. Shutdown costs include care-and-maintenance costs and any litigation, remediation or related expenditures associated with closed facilities or operations. Higher net charges for environmental obligations and shutdown costs in the 2023 periods, compared to the 2022 periods, primarily reflect net revisions to long-term historical environmental obligations totaling $83 million in third-quarter 2023 and $199 million for the first nine months of 2023, compared to net credits of $5 million in third-quarter 2022 and net charges of $8 million for the first nine months of 2022. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion of the 2023 revisions.

Interest Expense, Net

Consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) totaled $165 million in third-quarter 2023, $182 million in third-quarter 2022, $606 million for the first nine months of 2023 and $524 million for the first nine months of 2022. Consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, compared to the 2022 periods, reflects the impact of lower average outstanding debt as a result of the repayment of our 3.875% Senior Notes and open-market purchases of our senior notes (refer to Note 5). Higher consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) for the first nine months of 2023, also reflects interest charges totaling $74 million for Cerro Verde’s contested tax rulings issued by the Peruvian Supreme Court, and higher consolidated interest costs associated with PT-FI’s $3.0 billion of senior notes that were issued in April 2022.

Capitalized interest varies with the level of qualifying assets associated with our development projects and average interest rates on our borrowings. Capitalized interest totaled $69 million in third-quarter 2023, $42 million in third-quarter 2022, $188 million for the first nine months of 2023 and $101 million for the first nine months of 2022. The increase in capitalized interest costs in the 2023 periods, compared to the 2022 periods, resulted from increased construction and development projects in process, primarily for the Indonesia smelter projects. Refer to “Capital Resources and Liquidity – Investing Activities” for discussion of capital expenditures associated with our major development projects.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net totaled $71 million in third-quarter 2023, $25 million in third-quarter 2022, $183 million for the first nine months of 2023 and $67 million for the first nine months of 2022. The increase in other income, net primarily reflects higher interest income. The first nine months of 2023 also include a $69 million charge associated with Cerro Verde’s contested tax rulings issued by the Peruvian Supreme Court.

b.In addition to our North America mining operations, the U.S. jurisdiction reflects corporate-level expenses, which include interest expense associated with senior notes, general and administrative expenses, and environmental obligations and shutdown costs.

c.Includes valuation allowance release on prior year unbenefited net operating losses. See below for discussion of the provisions of the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

d.Includes net charges associated with Cerro Verde’s contested tax rulings issued by the Peruvian Supreme Court totaling $142 million ($73 million net of noncontrolling interests).

e.Includes a tax credit of $31 million ($16 million net of noncontrolling interest) primarily associated with completion of Cerro Verde's 2016 tax audit.

f.In accordance with applicable accounting rules, we adjust our interim provision for income taxes equal to our consolidated tax rate.

Refer to Note 4 for discussion of the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the Act), which became applicable to us on January 1, 2023.

Assuming average prices of $3.60 per pound for copper, $1,900 per ounce for gold and $20.00 per pound for molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2023 and achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, we estimate our consolidated effective tax rate for the year 2023 would approximate 38% (which would result in a 44% effective tax rate in fourth-quarter 2023). Changes in projected sales volumes and average prices during 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 on key provisions of the Act.

Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, which is primarily associated with our noncontrolling shareholders at PT-FI, Cerro Verde and El Abra, totaled $510 million in third-quarter 2023, $156 million in third-quarter 2022, $1.3 billion for the first nine months of 2023 and $731 million for the first nine months of 2022. Our economic interest in PT-FI is 48.76% and prior to January 1, 2023, it approximated 81%. As discussed in Note 1, first-quarter 2023 net income included a $35 million net benefit associated with PT-FI sales volumes that were attributed to us at our previous approximate 81% economic ownership interest.

Refer to Note 9 for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for each of our business segments.

Assuming average prices of $3.60 per pound of copper, $1,900 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum, achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, and taking into account the change in our economic interest in PT-FI, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is estimated to approximate

Table of Contents

$1.75 billion for the year 2023. The actual amount will depend on many factors, including relative performance of each business segment, commodity prices, costs and other factors.

OPERATIONS

Responsible Production

Updated Climate Report. In September 2023, we published our annual climate report, available on our website at fcx.com/sustainability. The climate report details our ongoing progress to advance our climate strategy focused on reducing our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, enhancing our resilience to climate risks and contributing responsibly produced copper to the global economy. We have four 2030 GHG emissions reduction targets that collectively cover nearly 100% of our Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions.

Leaching Innovation Initiatives

We are advancing a series of initiatives across our North America and South America operations to incorporate new applications, technologies and data analytics to our leaching processes. We believe these leach innovation initiatives provide opportunities to produce incremental copper from our large existing leach stockpiles. Initial results support the potential for incremental low-cost additions to our production and reserve profile and we are targeting an annual run rate of approximately 200 million pounds of copper per year through these initiatives by the end of 2023. In third-quarter 2023, incremental copper production from these initiatives totaled 46 million pounds (approximately 90% of the targeted annual rate). We are pursuing new technology applications that have the potential for significant increases in recoverable metal beyond the initial target.

Feasibility and Optimization Studies

We are engaged in various studies associated with potential future expansion projects primarily at our mining operations. The costs for these studies are charged to production and delivery costs as incurred and totaled $42 million in third-quarter 2023, $34 million in third-quarter 2022, $137 million for the first nine months of 2023 and $84 million for the first nine months of 2022. We estimate the costs of these studies will approximate $200 million for the year 2023, subject to market conditions and other factors.

North America Copper Mines

We operate seven open-pit copper mines in North America – Morenci, Bagdad, Safford (including Lone Star), Sierrita and Miami in Arizona, and Chino and Tyrone in New Mexico. All of the North America mining operations are wholly owned, except for Morenci. We record our 72% undivided joint venture interest in Morenci using the proportionate consolidation method.

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

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

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

At Safford/Lone Star, production from oxide ores is approaching 300 million pounds of copper per year, which reflects expansion of the initial design capacity of 200 million pounds of copper per year. We have conducted significant exploration drilling in the area in recent years. The positive drilling results indicate potential opportunities to expand production to include sulfide ores in the future. We are advancing metallurgical testing and mine planning for a potential significant long-term investment for development of identified large sulfide resources.

A tight labor market and increased competition from other employers in North America continue to represent strategic challenges that have impacted and are continuing to impact production and our ability to further expand

a.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 totaled 372 million pounds in third-quarter 2023, 361 million pounds in third-quarter 2022, 1.0 billion pounds for the first nine months of 2023 and 1.1 billion pounds for the nine months of 2022. Copper sales volumes in the 2023 periods, compared with the 2022 periods, primarily reflect lower ore grades. The impact of lower ore grades in third-quarter 2023, compared with third-quarter 2022, was offset by the timing of shipments. 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.

(including contract labor), maintenance and supplies, partly offset by higher molybdenum by-product credits and lower energy costs.

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.

Assuming an average price of $20.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2023 and achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for our North America copper mines are expected to approximate $2.62 per pound of copper for the year 2023. North America's average unit net cash costs for the year 2023 would change by approximately $0.01 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2023.

South America Mining

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. During third-quarter 2023, Cerro Verde processed an average of 431,300 metric tons of ore per day through its concentrators, a new quarterly record, and entered into a new power purchase agreement that is expected to transition its electric power to fully renewable energy sources in 2026.

At the El Abra operations in Chile, we have identified a large sulfide resource that would support a potential major mill project similar to the large-scale concentrator at Cerro Verde. Technical and economic studies continue to be evaluated to determine the optimal scope and timing for the sulfide project. Capital cost requirements are being updated to reflect current market conditions. We are advancing plans to invest in water infrastructure to provide options to extend existing operations, while continuing to monitor Chile's regulatory and fiscal matters, as well as trends in capital costs for similar projects.

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

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

Indonesia Mining

PT-FI operates one of the world’s largest copper and gold mines at the Grasberg minerals district in Central Papua, Indonesia. PT-FI produces copper concentrate that contains significant quantities of gold and silver. We have a 48.76% ownership interest in PT-FI and manage its mining operations. PT-FI's results are consolidated in our financial statements.

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

Regulatory Matters. Over the past several years, the Indonesia government has enacted various laws and regulations to promote downstream processing of various products, including copper concentrates. In 2018, PT-FI agreed to expand its domestic smelting and refining capacity to process all of its copper concentrates in Indonesia and is advancing the construction of the Indonesia smelter projects and expanding capacity at PT Smelting (refer to "Indonesia Smelter" below).

On June 10, 2023, export licenses for several exporters, including PT-FI and PT Smelting, expired. On July 24, 2023, PT-FI was granted an export license through May 2024 for 1.7 million metric tons of copper concentrate. Through June 10, 2023, PT-FI exported anode slimes under PT Smelting’s export license. A change in regulations during second-quarter 2023 requires PT-FI to follow a new administrative process for the export of anode slimes. The administrative process is advancing, and PT-FI expects to receive approval to resume exports of anode slimes during fourth-quarter 2023. PT-FI is working with the Indonesia government to obtain approvals to continue exports of copper concentrates and anode slimes beyond May 2024 and until the Indonesia smelter projects are fully commissioned and reach designed operating conditions.

Under PT-FI’s IUPK, export duties are determined based on regulations that were in effect in 2018 and no duties are required after smelter construction progress reached 50%. Effective March 29, 2023, PT-FI’s export duties were eliminated upon verification of smelter construction progress by the Indonesia government. In July 2023, the Ministry of Finance issued a revised regulation on duties for various exported products, including copper concentrates. Under the revised regulation PT-FI is currently being assessed export duties for copper concentrates at 7.5%, resulting in export duties totaling $147 million in third-quarter 2023. PT-FI does not believe any export duties should be assessed under the revised regulation and continues to discuss the applicability of the revised regulation with the Indonesia government because of inconsistencies with its IUPK.

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

Mining Rights. PT-FI and the Indonesia government continue to engage in discussions regarding the extension of PT-FI's mining rights under its IUPK beyond 2041. An extension beyond 2041 would enable continuity of large-scale operations for the benefit of all stakeholders and provide growth options through additional resource development opportunities in the highly attractive Grasberg minerals district.

Operating and Development Activities. Over a multi-year investment period, PT-FI has successfully commissioned three large-scale block cave mines in the Grasberg minerals district (Grasberg Block Cave, Deep Mill Level Zone and Big Gossan), providing annual production volumes of approximately 1.6 billion pounds of copper and 1.6 million ounces of gold. Milling rates from these underground mines averaged 206,600 metric tons of ore per day in third-

Table of Contents

quarter 2023, an approximate 10% increase from 188,700 metric tons of ore per day in third-quarter 2022. During third-quarter 2023, PT-FI successfully commissioned a new crusher to support increased mining rates in the Grasberg Block Cave ore body.

PT-FI’s ongoing project to install additional milling facilities is expected to be complete in early 2024. The project is expected to increase milling capacity to approximately 240,000 metric tons of ore per day to provide sustained large scale production volumes. PT-FI is also advancing a mill recovery project with the installation of a new copper cleaner circuit that is expected to be completed in the second half of 2024 and to provide incremental metal production of approximately 60 million pounds of copper and 40 thousand ounces of gold per year.

PT-FI is advancing plans to transition its existing energy source from coal to liquefied natural gas, which is expected to meaningfully reduce PT-FI's Scope 1 GHG emissions at the Grasberg minerals district. PT-FI is planning investments in a new gas-fired combined cycle facility at Grasberg with a targeted start date in 2027. Capital expenditures for the new facilities, to be incurred over the next three to four years, approximate $1 billion, which represents an incremental cost of $0.4 billion compared to previously planned investments to refurbish the existing coal units.

Kucing Liar. Long-term mine development activities are ongoing for PT-FI's Kucing Liar deposit in the Grasberg minerals district, which is expected to produce over 6 billion pounds of copper and 6 million ounces of gold between 2028 and the end of 2041. Pre-production development activities commenced in 2022 and are expected to continue over an approximate 10-year timeframe. Capital investments are estimated to average approximately $400 million per year over this period. At full operating rates of approximately 90,000 metric tons of ore per day, annual production from Kucing Liar is expected to approximate 550 million pounds of copper and 560 thousand ounces of gold, providing PT-FI with sustained long-term, large-scale and low-cost production. Kucing Liar will benefit from substantial shared infrastructure and PT-FI's experience and long-term success in block-cave mining.

Indonesia Smelter. In connection with PT-FI’s 2018 agreement with the Indonesia government to secure the extension of its long-term mining rights, PT-FI agreed to expand its domestic smelting and refining capacity to process all of its copper concentrates in Indonesia. PT-FI is actively engaged in the following projects for additional domestic smelting capacity:

•Construction of the Manyar smelter in Gresik, Indonesia with a capacity to process approximately 1.7 million metric tons of copper concentrate per year. Construction progress currently approximates 84% complete. Construction of the smelter has an estimated cost of $3.0 billion, including $2.8 billion for a construction contract (excluding capitalized interest, owner’s costs and commissioning) and $0.2 billion for investment in a desalinization plant. Construction is expected to be complete in mid-2024 followed by commissioning of the facilities and a ramp-up schedule through year-end 2024.

•Expansion of PT Smelting's capacity by 30% to 1.3 million metric tons of copper concentrate per year, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2023. PT-FI is funding the cost of the expansion, estimated to approximate $250 million, with a loan that will convert to equity and increase PT-FI’s ownership in PT Smelting to a majority ownership interest, which is expected to occur in 2024.

•The PMR is being constructed to process gold and silver from the Manyar smelter and PT Smelting. Construction is in progress with commissioning expected during 2024 at an estimated cost of $575 million, which incorporates recent revisions to scope.

For the first nine months of 2023, capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects totaled $1.2 billion, and are expected to approximate $1.6 billion for the year 2023. Capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects are being funded with PT-FI's senior notes and availability under its revolving credit facility.

PT-FI’s consolidated copper sales of 430 million pounds in third-quarter 2023 were higher than third-quarter 2022 copper sales volumes of 406 million pounds, primarily reflecting higher mining rates and ore grades. PT-FI’s consolidated copper sales of 1.0 billion pounds for the first nine months of 2023 were lower than 1.2 billion pounds for the first nine months of 2022, primarily reflecting the deferral of sales recognition related to the PT Smelting tolling arrangement.

PT-FI’s consolidated gold sales totaled 395 thousand ounces in third-quarter 2023, 476 thousand ounces in third-quarter 2022, 1.2 million ounces for the first nine months of 2023, and 1.4 million ounces for the first nine months of 2022. Lower gold sales volumes in the 2023 periods, compared with the 2022 periods, primarily reflect the timing of shipments of anode slimes associated with a change in administrative requirements for products that were previously being exported by PT Smelting. At September 30, 2023, approximately 75 thousand ounces of gold in anode slimes were included in inventory and available for sale pending approval of PT-FI’s export license for anode slimes. The first nine months of 2023 was also impacted by the deferral of sales recognition related to the PT Smelting tolling arrangement.

Consolidated sales volumes from PT-FI are expected to approximate 1.5 billion pounds of copper and 1.7 million ounces of gold for the year 2023, net of a deferral of approximately 100 million pounds of copper and 180 thousand ounces of gold from mine production under tolling arrangements to be processed and sold as refined metal in future periods. Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance, the resumption of anode slime exports, weather-related conditions and other factors detailed in the “Cautionary Statement.”

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. 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.

PT-FI's unit net cash costs (net of gold, silver and other by-product credits) of $0.44 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2023 approximated unit net cash costs in third-quarter 2022, primarily reflecting higher copper volumes, offset by lower gold, silver and other by-product credits and higher treatment charges and export duties. PT-FI’s unit net cash costs (net of gold, silver and other by-product credits) of $0.14 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2023 were higher than unit net cash costs of $0.12 per pound for the first nine months of 2022, primarily reflecting increased underground maintenance costs and higher treatment charges and the impact of lower copper sales volumes, partly offset by higher gold, silver and other by-product credits.

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

PT-FI’s export duties totaled $147 million in third-quarter 2023, $80 million in third-quarter 2022, $165 million for the first nine months of 2023 and $245 million for the first nine months of 2022. In late 2022, the export duty rate on PT-FI’s sales declined from 5% to 2.5% as a result of smelter development progress, and effective March 29, 2023, export duties were eliminated upon verification by the Indonesia government that construction progress on the Manyar smelter exceeded 50%. In July 2023, the Indonesia government issued a revised regulation on duties for various exported products, including copper concentrates, and under the revised regulation, PT-FI is currently being assessed export duties for copper concentrates at 7.5%. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion of the revised regulation.

PT-FI’s royalties vary with the volume of metal sold and the prices of copper and gold. PT-FI’s royalties totaled $78 million in third-quarter 2023, $81 million in third-quarter 2022, $228 million for the first nine months of 2023 and $281 million for the first nine months of 2022.

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 change in the DD&A rate per pound of copper in the 2023 periods, compared with the 2022 periods, primarily reflects changes in sales volumes.

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

Assuming an average gold price of $1,900 per ounce in fourth-quarter 2023 and achievement of current sales volumes and cost estimates, unit net cash costs (including gold, silver and other by-product credits) for PT-FI are expected to approximate $0.15 per pound of copper for the year 2023. PT-FI's estimated unit net cash costs for the year 2023 include assessment of a 7.5% export duty during the second half of 2023, which continues to be discussed with the Indonesia government. PT-FI's average unit net cash costs for the year 2023 would change by approximately $0.05 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold in fourth-quarter 2023.

Molybdenum Mines

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.

Table of Contents

Operating and Development Activities. Production from the Molybdenum mines totaled 7 million pounds of molybdenum in third-quarter 2023, 8 million pounds in third-quarter 2022, 22 million pounds for the first nine months of 2023 and 23 million pounds for the first nine months of 2022. Refer to “Consolidated Results” for our consolidated molybdenum operating data, which includes sales of molybdenum produced at our Molybdenum mines and from our North America and South America copper mines. Refer to “Outlook” for projected consolidated molybdenum sales volumes and to “Markets” for a discussion of molybdenum prices.

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

Average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines of $18.07 per pound of molybdenum in third-quarter 2023 and $15.25 per pound for the first nine months of 2023 were higher than average unit net cash costs of $12.10 per pound in third-quarter 2022 and $11.22 per pound for the first nine months of 2022, primarily reflecting lower production volumes associated with ore types mined and higher contract labor costs. Based on current volume and cost estimates, average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines are expected to approximate $14.47 per pound of molybdenum for the year 2023. Refer to “Product Revenues and Production Costs” for a reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in our consolidated financial statements.

Smelting and Refining

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

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

Atlantic Copper smelts and refines copper concentrate and markets refined copper and precious metals in slimes. During the first nine months of 2023, Atlantic Copper’s copper concentrate purchases included 38% from our copper mining operations and 62% from third parties.

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

We defer recognizing profits on sales from our mining operations to Atlantic Copper (and on 39.5% of PT-FI’s sales to PT Smelting for the 2022 periods) until final sales to third parties occur. Changes in these deferrals attributable to variability in intercompany volumes resulted in net additions to operating income totaling $81 million ($37 million to net income attributable to common stock) in third-quarter 2023, $33 million ($14 million to net income attributable to common stock) in third-quarter 2022, $153 million ($64 million to net income attributable to common stock) for the first nine months of 2023 and $73 million ($37 million to net income attributable to common stock) for the first nine months of 2022. Our net deferred profits on our inventories at Atlantic Copper to be recognized in future periods’ net income attributable to common stock totaled $30 million at September 30, 2023. Quarterly variations in ore grades, the timing of intercompany shipments and changes in product prices will result in variability in 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. Our results for the first nine months of 2023 reflect strong operating performance and continued execution of our business strategy. We remain focused on managing costs efficiently and continue to advance several important value-enhancing initiatives. We believe the actions we have taken in recent years to build a strong balance sheet, successfully expand low-cost operations and maintain flexible organic growth options while maintaining sufficient liquidity, will allow us to continue to execute our business plans in a prudent manner during periods of economic uncertainty while preserving substantial future asset values.

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

Based on current sales volume, cost and metal price estimates discussed in “Outlook,” our available cash and cash equivalents plus our projected consolidated operating cash flows of $5.4 billion for the year 2023 exceed our expected consolidated capital expenditures of $4.8 billion (which includes $1.9 billion for major mining projects and $1.6 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects that are being funded with PT-FI’s senior notes and its available credit facility).

Planned capital expenditures for major mining projects over the next few years are primarily associated with projects in Indonesia, including underground development activities, supporting mill and power capital costs and initial spending on a new gas-fired combined cycle facility. In addition, we are advancing discretionary capital projects associated with the development of the Kucing Liar deposit in Grasberg and an expansion of concentrator capacity at our Bagdad operation.

We have cash on hand and the financial flexibility to fund capital expenditures and our other cash requirements for the next twelve months, including noncontrolling interest distributions, income tax payments, current common stock dividends (base and variable) and any share or debt repurchases. At September 30, 2023, we had $5.7 billion in consolidated cash and cash equivalents (which includes $0.6 billion of PT-FI cash designated for Indonesia smelter projects) and FCX, PT-FI and Cerro Verde have $3.0 billion, $1.3 billion and $350 million, respectively, of availability under their revolving credit facilities.

At September 30, 2023, we had $0.7 billion in current restricted cash and cash equivalents, which includes (i) $0.5 billion associated with PT-FI's export proceeds temporarily deposited in Indonesia banks in accordance with a regulation issued by the Indonesia government that became effective August 1, 2023, requiring 30% of export proceeds to be temporarily deposited into Indonesia banks for a period of 90 days before withdrawal, and (ii) $145 million in assurance to support PT-FI’s commitment for smelter development in Indonesia. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion of an additional refundable deposit that PT-FI may be required to make related to smelter development.

Financial Policy. Our financial policy is aligned with our strategic objectives of maintaining a strong balance sheet, providing cash returns to shareholders and advancing opportunities for future growth. The policy includes a base dividend and a performance-based payout framework, whereby up to 50% of available cash flows generated after planned capital spending and distributions to noncontrolling interests would be allocated to shareholder returns and the balance to debt reduction and investments in value enhancing growth projects, subject to us maintaining our net debt at a level not to exceed the net debt target of $3.0 billion to $4.0 billion (excluding net project debt for additional smelting capacity in Indonesia). Our Board of Directors (Board) will review the structure of the performance-based payout framework at least annually.

At September 30, 2023, net debt, excluding net debt for the Indonesia smelter projects, totaled $0.8 billion. Refer to "Net Debt" for further discussion.

On September 20, 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 November 1, 2023, to common stockholders of record as of October 13, 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 November 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 September 30, 2023 (in billions):


Cash at domestic companies	$	3.1
Cash at international operations	2.6		a
Total consolidated cash and cash equivalents	5.7
Cash for Indonesia smelter projects	(0.6)		b
Noncontrolling interests’ share	(0.9)
Cash, net of noncontrolling interests’ share	4.2
Withholding taxes	(0.1)
Net cash available	$	4.1

a.Excludes $0.5 billion of cash associated with a portion of PT-FI's export proceeds required to be temporarily deposited in Indonesia banks for 90 days in accordance with an August 2023 regulation issued by the Indonesia government, which have been presented as current restricted cash and cash equivalents in FCX's consolidated balance sheet.

b.Estimated remaining net proceeds from PT-FI's senior notes.

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 September 30, 2023, consolidated debt totaled $9.4 billion, with a weighted-average interest rate of 5.2%. Substantially all of our outstanding debt is fixed rate. FCX has $0.7 billion in scheduled senior note maturities through 2026 and an average remaining duration of its total debt of approximately 10 years. We had no borrowings outstanding and $7 million in letters of credit issued under our $3.0 billion revolving credit facility. Additionally, at September 30, 2023, no amounts were drawn under PT-FI’s $1.3 billion revolving credit facility or Cerro Verde’s $350 million revolving credit facility. Refer to Note 5 for further discussion.

Operating Activities

We generated operating cash flows of $4.0 billion (net of $0.7 billion of working capital and other uses) for the first nine months of 2023 and $4.1 billion (net of $1.0 billion of working capital and other uses) for the first nine months of 2022.

Investing Activities

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, totaled $3.5 billion for the first nine months of 2023, including approximately $1.2 billion for major mining projects, primarily associated with underground development activities in the Grasberg minerals district and $1.2 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects.

Capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, totaled $2.4 billion for the first nine months of 2022, including approximately $1.2 billion for major mining projects, primarily associated with underground development activities in the Grasberg minerals district and $0.5 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects.

Proceeds from Sales of Assets. Proceeds from sales of assets totaled $16 million for the first nine months of 2023 and $102 million for the first nine months of 2022. In May 2022, we sold all of the shares we owned in Jervois Global Limited, which we received in connection with the 2021 sale of our remaining cobalt business, for proceeds of $60 million.

Loans to PT Smelting for Expansion. PT-FI made loans to PT Smelting totaling $109 million for the first nine months of 2023 and $51 million for the first nine months of 2022 to fund PT Smelting’s expansion project.

Financing Activities

Debt Transactions. Net repayments of debt totaled $1.2 billion for the first nine months of 2023, including the repayment of our 3.875% Senior Notes that matured in March 2023 totaling $996 million and open-market purchases of our senior notes for a total cost of $221 million. Refer to Note 5 for additional information.

Net proceeds from debt totaled $1.3 billion for the first nine months of 2022, reflecting net proceeds from PT-FI’s $3.0 billion senior note offering, partly offset by the repayment of borrowings under PT-FI’s term loan ($0.6 billion), Cerro Verde’s term loan ($0.3 billion) and open-market purchases of our senior notes ($0.9 billion).

Cash Dividends on Common Stock. We paid cash dividends on our common stock totaling $647 million for the first nine months of 2023 and $652 million for the first nine months of 2022. The declaration and payment of dividends (base or variable) is at the discretion of our Board and will depend on our financial results, cash requirements, global economic conditions and other factors deemed relevant by our Board. Refer to Note 5, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” contained in Part I of our 2022 Form 10-K (as updated in Part II, Item 1A. herein), “Cautionary Statement” below and the 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 $407 million for the first nine months of 2023 and $625 million for the first nine months of 2022. Based on the estimates discussed in “Outlook,” we currently expect cash dividends and distributions paid to noncontrolling interests totaling $0.5 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 our share repurchase program for a total cost of $1.8 billion ($38.35 average cost per share), including 35.1 million shares in the first nine months of 2022 for a total cost of $1.3 billion. No shares have been purchased since July 11, 2022, and we have $3.2 billion available for repurchases under the program. The timing and amount of share repurchases is at the discretion of management and will depend on a variety of factors. The share repurchase program may be modified, increased, suspended or terminated at any time at our Board’s discretion. Refer to Item 1A. “Risk Factors” contained in Part I of our 2022 Form 10-K (as updated in Part II, Item 1A. herein), “Cautionary Statement” below and discussion of our financial policy above.

Contributions from Noncontrolling Interests. We received equity contributions totaling $50 million for the first nine months of 2023 and $142 million for the first nine months of 2022 from PT Mineral Industri Indonesia (formerly PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (Persero), (MIND ID)). Contributions for the first nine months of 2023 were primarily associated with receipt of the final capital contribution in accordance with the PT-FI shareholders agreement. Contributions for the first nine months of 2022 were associated with MIND ID’s share of capital spending on underground mine development projects in the Grasberg minerals district. Beginning on January 1, 2023, capital spending at PT-FI is being shared in accordance with the shareholders’ ownership interests.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

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

CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Liabilities and Asset Retirement Obligations (AROs)

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

As discussed in Note 8, we recorded charges totaling $199 million for revisions to our environmental obligations during the first nine months of 2023, primarily associated with revised cost estimates. There have been no significant changes to our AROs since December 31, 2022. Updated cost assumptions, including increases and decreases to cost estimates, changes in the anticipated scope and timing of remediation activities, and settlement

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

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

NET DEBT

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

b.Effective August 1, 2023, and in accordance with a regulation issued by the Indonesia government, 30% of PT-FI’s export proceeds are being temporarily deposited into Indonesia banks for a period of 90 days before withdrawal and have been presented as current restricted cash and cash equivalents in FCX's consolidated balance sheet. As the 90-day holding period is the only restriction on the cash, FCX has included such amount in the calculation of net debt.

c.Includes consolidated debt of $3.0 billion and consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $0.6 billion as of September 30, 2023, and consolidated debt of $3.0 billion and consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $1.8 billion as of December 31, 2022.

PRODUCT REVENUES AND PRODUCTION COSTS

We believe unit net cash costs 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, 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.

which speak only as of the date made, notwithstanding any changes in our assumptions, changes in business plans, actual experience or other changes.

This report on Form 10-Q also contains measures such as net debt and unit net cash costs per pound of copper and molybdenum, which are not recognized under U.S. GAAP. 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. Refer to “Net Debt” for reconciliations of consolidated debt, consolidated cash and cash equivalents and current restricted cash associated with PT-FI’s export proceeds to net debt.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no material changes in our market risks during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. For additional information on market risks, refer to “Disclosures About Market Risks” included in Part II, Items 7. and 7A. of our 2022 Form 10-K. For projected sensitivities of our operating cash flow to changes in commodity prices, refer to “Outlook” in Part I, Item 2. of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q; for projected sensitivities of our provisionally priced copper sales to changes in commodity prices refer to “Consolidated Results – Revenues” in Part I, Item 2. of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures.

(a)Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, with the participation of management, have evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on their evaluation, they have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023.

Our information technology systems have been and in the future may be adversely affected by cybersecurity events, disruptions, damage, failure and risks associated with implementation and integration.

Our industry has become increasingly supported by and dependent on digital technologies. Our strategy of operating large, long-lived, geographically diverse assets has been increasingly dependent on our ability to become fully integrated and highly automated. Many of our business and operational processes are heavily dependent on traditional and emerging technology systems to conduct day-to-day operations, improve safety and efficiency, and lower costs.

As our dependence on information systems, including those of our third-party service providers and vendors, grows, we become more vulnerable to an increasing threat of continually evolving cybersecurity risks. In recent years, cybersecurity events have increased in frequency and magnitude and the methods used to gain unauthorized access change frequently, making it increasingly difficult for us to prevent cybersecurity incidents or detect and remediate incidents in a timely and effective manner. Attacks have included and may include, but are not limited to, installation of malicious software, phishing, ransomware, social engineering tactics and credential attacks, insider threats, denial of service attacks, unauthorized access to data and other advanced and sophisticated cybersecurity breaches and threats, including those that increasingly target critical operational technologies and process control networks and those that use artificial intelligence. Such attacks may be perpetrated by a variety of bad actors, some of which may reside in jurisdictions where law enforcement measures to address such attacks are ineffective.

We have experienced targeted and non-targeted cybersecurity events in the past and may experience them in the future. In August 2023, we determined that we were subject to a cybersecurity incident that affected certain of our information systems, resulting in temporary disruptions to parts of our operations. We performed an investigation of the impact of the incident and incurred an immaterial amount of expenses in conjunction with the investigation. However, we cannot guarantee that events of a similar nature will not occur in the future.

Cybersecurity threats could subject us to manipulation or improper use of our systems and networks, production downtimes, loss of sales, communication interruption or other disruptions and delays to our operations or to the transportation of products or infrastructure utilized by our operations, unauthorized release of proprietary, commercially sensitive, confidential or otherwise protected information, a misappropriation or loss of funds, the corruption of data, significant health and safety consequences, environmental damage, loss of intellectual property, fines, penalties, litigation, regulatory or governmental investigation, liability under or termination of our contracts with third parties, damage to our reputation or financial losses from remedial actions, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, results of operations and financial condition, and which could adversely impact the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. We do not maintain cyber risk insurance, and the lack of, or insufficiency of, insurance coverage could adversely affect our cash flows and overall profitability.

While the August 2023 cybersecurity incident and other cybersecurity events have not had a material impact on us, including our financial condition or results of operations, as of September 30, 2023, there can be no assurance that we will not experience any such impact or additional interruptions to our operations in the future. Given the unpredictability of the timing and the evolving nature and scope of information technology disruptions, the various procedures and controls we use to monitor and protect against these threats and to mitigate our potential risks to such threats have not been in some instances and may not be sufficient in preventing future cybersecurity events from materializing. Further, as cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities to cybersecurity threats.

We could also be adversely affected by system or network disruptions if new or upgraded information technology systems are defective, not installed properly or not properly integrated into our operations. System modification failures could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could, if not successfully implemented, adversely impact the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.

Further, we increasingly depend on our information technology infrastructure for electronic communications among our locations, personnel, customers and suppliers around the world, including as a result of remote working and flexible working arrangements. These information technology systems, some of which are managed by third parties that we do not control, may be susceptible to damage, disruptions or shutdowns because of failures during the process of upgrading or replacing software, databases or components thereof, cutover activities in our restructuring
