Consolidated Sales Volumes
Third-quarter 2024 copper sales of 1.0 billion pounds were 2% above the July 2024 estimate. Third-quarter 2024 copper sales were 7% lower than third-quarter 2023 sales of 1.1 billion pounds, primarily reflecting the timing of shipments and lower ore grades and operating rates in North America.
Third-quarter 2024 gold sales of 558 thousand ounces were 17% higher than the July 2024 estimate of 475 thousand ounces, primarily reflecting the timing of shipments and higher operating rates in Indonesia. Third-quarter 2024 gold sales were 40% higher than third-quarter 2023 sales of 399 thousand ounces, primarily reflecting the timing of shipments.
Third-quarter 2024 molybdenum sales of 19 million pounds were in line with the July 2024 estimate and third-quarter 2023 sales of 20 million pounds.
Consolidated sales volumes for the year 2024 are expected to approximate 4.1 billion pounds of copper, 1.8 million ounces of gold and 80 million pounds of molybdenum, including 980 million pounds of copper, 340 thousand ounces of gold and 20 million pounds of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2024.
Consolidated copper and gold production volumes for the year 2024 are expected to exceed 2024 sales volumes, reflecting the deferral of approximately 85 million pounds of copper and 85 thousand ounces of gold associated with inventories held at PT-FI’s new downstream processing facilities expected to be sold as refined metal in 2025.
Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance; continuation of copper concentrate exports during the restoration period of PT-FI’s new smelter; weather-related conditions; timing of shipments and other factors detailed in the “Cautionary Statement” below.

Consolidated Unit Net Cash Costs
Third-quarter 2024 consolidated average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for FCX’s copper mines of $1.39 per pound of copper were lower than the July 2024 estimate of $1.71 per pound primarily reflecting higher gold credits at PT-FI. Third-quarter 2024 consolidated average unit net cash costs were also lower than third-quarter 2023 average unit net cash costs of $1.73 per pound of copper, primarily reflecting higher gold credits at PT-FI, partly offset by higher site production and delivery costs from North America and PT-FI. Refer to “Operations” below for further discussion.
Consolidated unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for FCX’s copper mines are expected to average $1.58 per pound of copper for the year 2024 (including $1.72 per pound of copper in fourth-quarter 2024), based on achievement of current sales volume (including estimates for the continuation of copper concentrate exports from Indonesia) and cost estimates and assuming average prices of $2,600 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2024. Quarterly unit net cash costs vary with fluctuations in sales volumes and realized prices, primarily for gold and molybdenum. The impact of price changes during fourth-quarter 2024 on consolidated unit net cash costs for the year 2024 would approximate $0.01 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.

OPERATIONS
Leaching Innovation Initiatives. FCX is continuing to advance a series of initiatives across its North America and South America operations to incorporate new applications, technologies and data analytics to its leaching processes. In late 2023, FCX achieved its initial incremental annual run rate target of approximately 200 million pounds of copper. Incremental copper production from these initiatives totaled 58 million pounds in third-quarter 2024 (compared with 46 million pounds in third-quarter 2023) and 164 million pounds for the first nine months of 2024 (compared with 97 million pounds for the first nine months of 2023). FCX is pursuing opportunities to apply recent operational enhancements on a larger scale and is testing new innovative technology applications that have the potential for significant increases in recoverable metal beyond the current run rate.
North America. FCX manages seven copper operations in North America – Morenci, Bagdad, Safford (including Lone Star), Sierrita and Miami in Arizona, and Chino and Tyrone in New Mexico. FCX also operates a copper smelter in Miami, Arizona. In addition to copper, certain of these operations produce molybdenum concentrate, gold and silver. All of the North America operations are wholly owned, except for Morenci. FCX records its 72% undivided joint venture interest in Morenci using the proportionate consolidation method.
Development Activities. FCX has substantial reserves and future opportunities in the U.S., primarily associated with existing operations.
FCX has a potential expansion project to more than double the concentrator capacity of the Bagdad operation in northwest Arizona. Bagdad’s reserve life currently exceeds 80 years and supports an expanded operation. In late 2023, FCX completed technical and economic studies, which indicated the opportunity to construct new concentrating facilities to increase copper production by 200 to 250 million pounds per year at estimated incremental project capital costs of approximately $3.5 billion. Expanded operations would provide improved efficiency and reduce unit net cash costs through economies of scale. Project economics indicate that the expansion would require an incentive copper price in the range of $3.50 to $4.00 per pound and approximately three to four years to complete. The decision of whether to proceed and timing of the potential expansion will take into account overall copper market conditions, availability of labor and other factors, including progress on conversion of the existing haul truck fleet to autonomous and expanding housing alternatives to support long-range plans. In parallel, FCX is advancing activities for expanded tailings infrastructure projects required under long-range plans in order to advance the potential construction timeline.
FCX has commenced pre-feasibility studies in the Safford/Lone Star district to define a potential significant expansion opportunity. Positive drilling conducted in recent years indicates a large, mineralized district with opportunities to pursue a further expansion project. FCX expects to complete these studies in late 2025. The decision of whether to proceed and timing of the potential expansion will take into account results of technical and economic studies, overall copper market conditions and other factors.

b.For a reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, “Product Revenues and Production Costs,” beginning on page XIV.
FCX’s consolidated copper sales volumes from North America of 316 million pounds in third-quarter 2024 were lower than third-quarter 2023 copper sales volumes of 372 million pounds, primarily reflecting lower operating rates and ore grades, as well as timing of shipments. North America copper sales are estimated to approximate 1.24 billion pounds for the year 2024.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines of $3.24 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2024 were higher than third-quarter 2023 average unit net cash costs of $2.70 per pound, primarily reflecting the impact of lower copper production volumes associated with lower ore grades.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines are expected to approximate $3.14 per pound of copper for the year 2024, based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $20.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2024. North America’s average unit net cash costs for the year 2024 would change by approximately $0.01 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2024.
South America. FCX manages two copper operations in South America – Cerro Verde in Peru (in which FCX owns a 55.08% interest) and El Abra in Chile (in which FCX owns a 51% interest). These operations are consolidated in FCX’s financial statements. In addition to copper, the Cerro Verde mine produces molybdenum concentrate and silver.
In September 2024, FCX purchased 5.3 million shares of Cerro Verde common stock for $210 million, increasing its ownership interest in Cerro Verde to 55.08% from 53.56%.
Development Activities. At the El Abra operations in Chile, FCX has completed substantial drilling and evaluations to define a large sulfide resource that would support a potential major mill project similar to the large-scale concentrator at Cerro Verde. FCX is preparing data for a potential submission of an environmental impact statement by year-end 2025, subject to ongoing stakeholder engagement and economic evaluations. FCX’s preliminary estimates, which remain under review, indicate that the project economics would be supported using an incentive copper price of less than $4.00 per pound. The decision of whether to proceed and timing of the potential project will take into account overall copper market conditions, required permitting and other factors.

Labor Matters. In October 2024, Cerro Verde completed a new four-year collective labor agreement (CLA) with one of its two unions and recorded nonrecurring charges of $34 million in third-quarter 2024 associated with the new CLA. The agreement follows the successful completion of a new CLA with a second union in April 2024. Cerro Verde now has multi-year agreements for its hourly workforce.

FCX’s consolidated copper sales volumes from South America operations of 293 million pounds in third-quarter 2024 were slightly lower than third-quarter 2023 copper sales volumes of 307 million pounds, primarily reflecting the timing of shipments and slightly lower copper production. Copper sales from South America operations are expected to approximate 1.2 billion pounds for the year 2024.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America operations of $2.44 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2024 were higher than third-quarter 2023 average unit net cash costs of $2.35 per pound, primarily reflecting nonrecurring labor-related charges at Cerro Verde associated with a new CLA with one of its two unions.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America operations are expected to approximate $2.47 per pound of copper for the year 2024 (including $0.08 per pound of copper for nonrecurring labor-related charges at Cerro Verde associated with its new CLAs), based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $20.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2024.
Indonesia. PT-FI operates one of the world’s largest copper and gold mines at the Grasberg minerals district in Central Papua, Indonesia. PT-FI produces copper concentrate that contains significant quantities of gold and silver. FCX has a 48.76% ownership interest in PT-FI and manages its operations. PT-FI’s results are consolidated in FCX’s financial statements. Upon ramp-up of the new downstream processing facilities, PT-FI will be a fully integrated producer of refined copper and gold.
Regulatory Matters and Mining Rights. On July 2, 2024, PT-FI was granted copper concentrate and anode slimes export licenses, which are valid through December 2024. Pursuant to the Indonesia regulations, PT-FI will continue to pay a 7.5% export duty on copper concentrates. In connection with the recent fire event at PT-FI’s new

foremostincopper_coppergra.jpg
copperbar.jpg
6

a2024header.jpg
smelter facility and required remediation, PT-FI is working with the Indonesia government to allow continuity of copper concentrate exports until smelter operations are restored.
Pursuant to regulations issued during 2024, PT-FI is eligible to apply for an extension of its mining rights beyond 2041, provided certain conditions are met, including ownership of integrated downstream facilities that have entered the operational stage; domestic ownership of at least 51% and agreement with a state-owned enterprise for an additional 10% ownership; and commitments for additional exploration and increases in refining capacity, each as approved by the Ministry of Energy and Minerals. Application for extension may be submitted at any time up to one year prior to the expiration of its current special mining license (IUPK). PT-FI is currently preparing its application submittal. In connection with PT-FI’s application for extension, FCX is working to reach terms with PT Mineral Industri Indonesia (MIND ID) on a purchase and sale agreement for the transfer in 2041 of an additional 10% interest in PT-FI. An extension would enable continuity of large-scale operations for the benefit of all stakeholders and provide growth options through additional resource development opportunities in the highly attractive Grasberg minerals district.
Operating and Development Activities. Over a multi-year investment period, PT-FI has successfully commissioned three large-scale underground mines in the Grasberg minerals district (Grasberg Block Cave, Deep Mill Level Zone and Big Gossan). PT-FI is completing a mill recovery project with the installation of a new copper cleaner circuit, which is expected to begin commissioning in late 2024.
Kucing Liar. Long-term mine development activities are ongoing for PT-FI’s Kucing Liar deposit in the Grasberg minerals district. Kucing Liar is expected to produce over 7 billion pounds of copper and 6 million ounces of gold between 2029 and the end of 2041, and an extension of PT-FI’s operating rights beyond 2041 would extend the life of the project. Development activities commenced in 2022 and are expected to continue over an approximate 10-year timeframe, with capital investments estimated to average approximately $400 million per year over this period. At full operating rates, annual production from Kucing Liar is expected to approximate 560 million pounds of copper and 520 thousand ounces of gold, providing PT-FI with sustained long-term, large-scale and low-cost production. Kucing Liar will benefit from substantial shared infrastructure and PT-FI’s experience and long-term success in block-cave mining.
Natural Gas Facilities. PT-FI plans to transition its existing energy source from coal to natural gas, which would meaningfully reduce PT-FI’s Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions at the Grasberg minerals district. PT-FI’s planned investments in a new gas-fired combined cycle facility are expected to be incurred over the next four years, at a cost of approximately $1 billion, which represents an incremental cost of $0.4 billion compared to previously planned investments to refurbish the existing coal units. Once complete, PT-FI’s dual-fuel power plant and the new gas-fired combined cycle facility will be fueled by natural gas, supplied by a floating liquefied natural gas storage and regassification unit.
Downstream Processing Facilities and October 14, 2024 Fire Incident. Start-up operations for PT-FI’s new downstream processing facilities in Gresik commenced during third-quarter 2024. During start-up activities, a fire occurred on October 14, 2024, in a gas cleaning facility (electrostatic precipitator plant) designed to remove particles from gases prior to conversion to sulphuric acid. There were no injuries and the fire was extinguished expeditiously.
The incident resulted in damage to infrastructure for the production of sulphuric acid required for the copper smelting process. Smelter operations have been temporarily suspended pending remediation activities. Damage and root cause assessments are in progress and plans are being developed to repair the damaged areas. In parallel, PT-FI is working with the Indonesia government to allow continued exports of copper concentrates until smelter operations are restored. In addition, PT-FI will seek recovery of repair costs under its insurance programs. Mining operations in Central Papua and the PMR project have not been impacted.

a.For a reconciliation of unit net cash (credits) costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, “Product Revenues and Production Costs,” beginning on page XIV.
b.Export duties of 2.5% were eliminated effective March 29, 2023, upon verification that construction progress of the new smelter exceeded 50% and were reinstated at a rate of 7.5% in July 2023 under a revised regulation. As discussed above, PT-FI will continue to pay export duties of 7.5% on copper concentrates.
PT-FI’s consolidated copper sales volumes in third-quarter 2024 of 426 million pounds were similar to third-quarter 2023 copper sales volumes of 430 million pounds.
PT-FI’s consolidated gold production volumes of 451 thousand ounces in third-quarter 2024 were 15% below third-quarter 2023 gold production volumes of 528 thousand ounces, primarily reflecting lower ore grades. PT-FI’s consolidated gold sales volumes of 554 thousand ounces in third-quarter 2024 were 40% higher than third-quarter 2023 gold sales volumes of 395 thousand ounces, primarily reflecting the timing of shipments.
Consolidated sales volumes from PT-FI are expected to approximate 1.65 billion pounds of copper and 1.8 million ounces of gold for the year 2024. Consolidated copper and gold production volumes from PT-FI for the year 2024 are expected to exceed 2024 sales volumes, reflecting the deferral of approximately 85 million pounds of copper and 85 thousand ounces of gold associated with inventories held at PT-FI’s new downstream processing facilities expected to be sold as refined metal in 2025. Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance; continuation of copper concentrate exports during the restoration period of PT-FI’s new smelter; weather-related conditions; and other factors detailed in the “Cautionary Statement” below.
PT-FI’s unit net cash credits (including gold, silver and other by-product credits) of $0.71 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2024 were favorable compared to unit net cash costs (net of gold, silver and other by-product credits) of $0.44 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2023, primarily reflecting higher gold credits.
Average unit net cash credits (including gold, silver and other by-product credits) for PT-FI are expected to approximate $0.23 per pound of copper for the year 2024, based on achievement of current sales volumes (including estimates for copper concentrate exports) and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $2,600 per ounce of gold in fourth-quarter 2024. PT-FI’s average unit net cash credits for the year 2024 would change by approximately $0.03 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold in fourth-quarter 2024.

Molybdenum. FCX operates two wholly owned primary molybdenum operations in Colorado – the Climax open-pit mine and the Henderson underground mine. The Climax and Henderson mines produce high-purity, chemical-grade molybdenum concentrate, which is typically further processed into value-added molybdenum chemical products. The majority of the molybdenum concentrate produced at the Climax and Henderson mines and at FCX’s North America copper mines and South America operations is processed at FCX’s conversion facilities.
Operating and Development Activities. Production from the primary molybdenum operations totaled 6 million pounds of molybdenum in third-quarter 2024 and 7 million pounds in third-quarter 2023. FCX’s consolidated molybdenum sales and average realized prices include sales of molybdenum produced at the primary molybdenum operations and at FCX’s North America copper mines and South America operations, which are presented on page 3.
Average unit net cash costs for the primary molybdenum operations of $21.06 per pound of molybdenum in third-quarter 2024 were higher than average unit net cash costs of $18.07 per pound in third-quarter 2023, primarily reflecting higher costs for maintenance supplies and transitional contract labor and lower volumes. Average unit net cash costs for the primary molybdenum operations are expected to approximate $17.55 per pound of molybdenum for the year 2024, based on achievement of current sales volumes and cost estimates.
For a reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, “Product Revenues and Production Costs,” beginning on page XIV.

LIQUIDITY, CASH FLOWS, CASH AND DEBT
Liquidity. At September 30, 2024, FCX had $5.0 billion in consolidated cash and cash equivalents, $6.0 billion including $1.0 billion of current restricted cash associated with PT-FI’s export proceeds required to be temporarily deposited in Indonesia banks. In addition, FCX has $3.0 billion of availability under its revolving credit facility, and PT-FI and Cerro Verde have $1.5 billion and $350 million, respectively, of availability under their revolving credit facilities.
Operating Cash Flows. FCX generated operating cash flows of $1.9 billion in third-quarter 2024 and $5.7 billion for the first nine months of 2024.
FCX’s consolidated operating cash flows are estimated to approximate $6.8 billion for the year 2024, net of $0.4 billion of working capital and other uses, based on current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming average prices of $4.25 per pound of copper, $2,600 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2024. The impact of price changes during fourth-quarter 2024 on operating cash flows for the year 2024 would approximate $90 million for each $0.10 per pound change in the average price of copper, $30 million for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $15 million for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures totaled $1.2 billion in third-quarter 2024, including $0.4 billion for major mining projects and $0.3 billion for PT-FI’s new downstream processing facilities, and $3.6 billion for the first nine months of 2024, including $1.3 billion for major mining projects and $1.0 billion for PT-FI’s new downstream processing facilities.
Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $4.6 billion for the year 2024, including $2.2 billion for major mining projects and $1.0 billion for PT-FI’s new downstream processing facilities (excluding capitalized interest, owner’s costs and commissioning). Projected capital expenditures for major mining projects include $1.2 billion for planned projects, primarily associated with underground mine development in the Grasberg minerals district and expansion projects in North America, and $1.0 billion for discretionary growth projects.

At September 30, 2024, PT-FI had $250 million in borrowings outstanding under its $1.75 billion revolving credit facility, and Cerro Verde had no borrowings outstanding under its $350 million revolving credit facility.
FINANCIAL POLICY
FCX’s financial policy is aligned with its strategic objectives of maintaining a solid balance sheet, providing cash returns to shareholders and advancing opportunities for future growth. The policy includes a base dividend and a performance-based payout framework, whereby up to 50% of available cash flows generated after planned capital spending and distributions to noncontrolling interests would be allocated to shareholder returns and the balance to debt reduction and investments in value enhancing growth projects, subject to FCX maintaining its net debt at a level not to exceed the net debt target of $3.0 billion to $4.0 billion (excluding debt for PT-FI’s new downstream processing facilities). FCX’s Board of Directors (Board) reviews the structure of the performance-based payout framework at least annually.
Net Debt. At September 30, 2024, FCX’s net debt, excluding $3.2 billion of debt for PT-FI’s new downstream processing facilities, totaled $0.5 billion (which was net of $1.0 billion of current restricted cash associated with PT-FI’s export proceeds). Refer to the supplemental schedule, “Net Debt,” on page IX.
Common Stock Dividends. On September 25, 2024, FCX’s Board declared cash dividends totaling $0.15 per share on its common stock (including a $0.075 per share quarterly base cash dividend and a $0.075 per share quarterly variable, performance-based cash dividend), which will be paid on November 1, 2024, to shareholders of record as of October 15, 2024. The declaration and payment of dividends (base or variable) are at the discretion of the Board and will depend on FCX’s financial results, cash requirements, global economic conditions and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

The words “anticipates,” “may,” “can,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “targets,” “intends,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “to be,” “potential,” “assumptions,” “guidance,” “aspirations,” “future,” “commitments,” “pursues,” “initiatives,” “objectives,” “opportunities,” “strategy” and any similar expressions are intended to identify those assertions as forward-looking statements. The declaration and payment of dividends (base or variable), and timing and amount of any share repurchases are at the discretion of the Board and management, respectively, and are subject to a number of factors, including not exceeding 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 the Board or management, as applicable.

a2024header.jpg
applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations; weather- and climate-related risks; environmental risks, including availability of secure water supplies; litigation results; tailings management; FCX’s ability to comply with its responsible production commitments under specific frameworks; and any changes to such frameworks and other factors described in more detail under the heading “Risk Factors” in FCX’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions upon which FCX’s forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after the date the forward-looking statements are made, including for example commodity prices, which FCX cannot control, and production volumes and costs or technological solutions and innovations, some aspects of which FCX may not be able to control. Further, FCX may make changes to its business plans that could affect its results. FCX undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, notwithstanding any changes in its assumptions, changes in business plans, actual experience or other changes.
This press release also contains measures such as net debt, adjusted net income and unit net cash costs (credits) per pound of copper and molybdenum, which are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to amounts reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements are in the supplemental schedules of this press release. For forward-looking unit net cash costs (credits) per pound of copper and molybdenum measures, FCX is unable to provide a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort because estimating such GAAP measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and requires a level of precision that is unavailable for these future periods and the information needed to reconcile these measures is dependent upon future events, many of which are outside of FCX’s control as described above. Forward-looking non-GAAP measures are estimated consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions.

FREEPORT
INCOME TAXES (continued)
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.
In September 2024, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued proposed regulations that provide guidance on the application of CAMT. The guidance is not final and subject to change, however, in its proposed form, the guidance differs from FCX's previous interpretations of the Act. If the regulations are finalized as proposed, they may further limit FCX's ability to realize future benefits from its U.S. net operating losses. Based on the proposed guidance released by IRS, FCX has determined that the provisions of the Act did not impact FCX’s financial results for the first nine months of 2024 or for the year 2023.
Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and average prices of $4.25 per pound for copper, $2,600 per ounce for gold and $20.00 per pound for molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2024, FCX estimates its consolidated effective tax rate for the year 2024 would approximate 36% (which reflects an estimated effective tax rate of 40% in fourth-quarter 2024). Changes in projected sales volumes and average prices during 2024 would incur tax impacts at estimated effective rates of 39% for Peru, 36% for Indonesia and 0% for the U.S., which excludes the benefit discussed in note c above and any impact from the Act.

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

a.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 are 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.
b.Represents PT-FI’s senior notes and $250 million of borrowings under PT-FI’s revolving credit facility.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, FCX’s mined copper was sold 45% in concentrate, 34% as cathode and 21% as rod. All of FCX’s copper concentrate and some cathode sales contracts provide final copper pricing in a specified future month (generally one to four months from the shipment date) based primarily on quoted London Metal Exchange (LME) monthly average copper prices. FCX records revenues and invoices customers at the time of shipment based on then-current LME prices, which results in an embedded derivative on provisionally priced concentrate and cathode sales that is adjusted to fair value through earnings each period, using the period-end forward prices, until final pricing on the date of settlement. In third-quarter 2024, LME copper settlement prices averaged $4.18 per pound and FCX’s average realized copper price was $4.30 per pound.

At September 30, 2024, FCX had provisionally priced copper sales totaling 162 million pounds (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average price of $4.43 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. FCX estimates that each $0.05 change in the price realized from the quarter-end provisional price would have an approximate $15 million effect on 2024 revenues ($5 million to net income attributable to common stock). The LME copper price settled at $4.35 per pound on October 21, 2024.

DEFERRED PROFITS
FCX defers recognizing profits on intercompany sales to Atlantic Copper until final sales to third parties occur. Changes in these deferrals attributable to variability in intercompany volumes resulted in net (reductions) additions to operating income totaling $(42) million ($(13) million to net income attributable to common stock) in third-quarter 2024, $81 million ($37 million to net income attributable to common stock) in third-quarter 2023, $79 million ($23 million to net income attributable to common stock) for the first nine months of 2024 and $153 million ($64 million to net income attributable to common stock) for the first nine months of 2023. FCX’s net deferred profits on its inventories at Atlantic Copper to be recognized in future periods’ operating income totaled $143 million ($44 million to net income attributable to common stock) at September 30, 2024. Quarterly variations in ore grades, the timing of intercompany shipments and changes in product prices will result in variability in FCX’s net deferred profits and quarterly earnings.

NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is primarily associated with PT-FI, Cerro Verde and El Abra and totaled $710 million in third-quarter 2024 (which represented 36% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes), $510 million in third-quarter 2023 (which represented 35% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes), $2.1 billion for the first nine months of 2024 (which represented 36% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes) and $1.3 billion for the first nine months of 2023 (which represented 30% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes). Refer to “Business Segments” below for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for each of FCX’s business segments.
Beginning January 1, 2023, FCX's economic and ownership interest in PT-FI is 48.76% except for net income associated with the settlement of historical tax matters in first-quarter 2024 and approximately 190 thousand ounces of gold sales in first-quarter 2023, which were attributed based on the economics prior to January 1, 2023 (i.e., approximately 81% to FCX and 19% to MIND ID).
In September 2024, FCX increased its ownership interest in Cerro Verde to 55.08% from 53.56%.

X


FREEPORT
NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS (continued)
Based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming average prices of $4.25 per pound of copper, $2,600 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2024, FCX estimates that net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is estimated to approximate $2.7 billion (which would represent 36% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes) for the year 2024. The actual amount will depend on many factors, including relative performance of each business segment, commodity prices, costs and other factors.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS
FCX has organized its mining operations into four primary divisions – North America copper mines, South America operations, Indonesia operations and Molybdenum mines, and operating segments that meet certain thresholds are reportable segments. Separately disclosed in the following tables are FCX’s reportable segments, which include the Morenci and Cerro Verde copper mines, the Indonesia operations (including the Grasberg minerals districts and PT-FI’s new downstream processing facilities), the Rod & Refining operations and Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining.
For comparative purposes, the 2023 tables have been adjusted to conform with the current year presentation, primarily for the combination of the Grasberg minerals district and PT-FI’s new downstream processing facilities. PT-FI’s new downstream processing facilities will exclusively receive concentrate from the Grasberg minerals district, which reflects PT-FI’s integrated and dependent operations within Indonesia (i.e., Indonesia operations). The PMR will receive anode slimes from the smelter and from PT Smelting. FCX's Chief Executive Officer, identified as its chief operating decision maker under business segment accounting guidance, makes executive management decisions, including resource allocation and mine planning, for the Indonesia operations as a single business segment.
Intersegment sales between FCX’s business segments are based on terms similar to arms-length transactions with third parties at the time of the sale. Intersegment sales may not be reflective of the actual prices ultimately realized because of a variety of factors, including additional processing, the timing of sales to unaffiliated customers and transportation premiums.
FCX allocates certain operating costs, expenses and capital expenditures to its operating divisions and individual segments. However, not all costs and expenses applicable to an operation are allocated. U.S. federal and state income taxes are recorded and managed at the corporate level (included in Corporate, Other & Eliminations), whereas foreign income taxes are recorded and managed at the applicable country level. In addition, some selling, general and administrative costs are not allocated to the operating divisions or individual segments. Accordingly, the following segment information reflects management determinations that may not be indicative of what the actual financial performance of each operating division or segment would be if it was an independent entity.

c.Beginning in September 2024, FCX's interest in Cerro Verde is 55.08%, and prior to September 2024 was 53.56%.
d.Beginning January 1, 2023, FCX's economic and ownership interest in PT-FI is 48.76% except for net income associated with the settlement of historical tax matters in first-quarter 2024 and approximately 190 thousand ounces of gold sales in first-quarter 2023, which were attributed based on the economics prior to January 1, 2023 (i.e., approximately 81% to FCX and 19% to MIND ID).
e.The third quarter and first nine months of 2023 include a $13 million credit for the settlement of interest on Cerro Verde’s historical profit sharing liability. The first nine months of 2023 also includes $74 million of interest charges associated with contested tax rulings issued by the Peruvian Supreme Court.
f.Includes a net benefit to income taxes totaling $182 million associated with the closure of PT-FI’s 2021 corporate income tax audit and resolution of the framework for disputed tax matters.
g.Includes a $55 million charge for a potential administrative fine.

PRODUCT REVENUES AND PRODUCTION COSTS

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