Consolidated Sales Volumes
Fourth-quarter 2023 copper sales of 1.1 billion pounds were 3% higher than the October 2023 estimate of 1.09 billion pounds and 7% higher than fourth-quarter 2022 sales of 1.04 billion pounds. The favorable variances to the October 2023 estimate and fourth-quarter 2022 sales primarily reflect higher mining and milling rates at PT-FI.
Fourth-quarter 2023 gold sales of 549 thousand ounces were 5% lower than the October 2023 estimate of 580 thousand ounces and 20% higher than fourth-quarter 2022 sales of 458 thousand ounces. The unfavorable variance to the October 2023 estimate primarily reflects the timing of shipments associated with the resumption of anode slimes exports at PT-FI. On December 11, 2023, PT-FI was granted its anode slimes export license (which is valid through May 31, 2024) and resumed exports. The favorable variance to fourth-quarter 2022 sales primarily reflects higher mining and milling rates and ore grades at PT-FI.
Fourth-quarter 2023 molybdenum sales of 22 million pounds were 10% higher than the October 2023 estimate of 20 million pounds and 16% higher than fourth-quarter 2022 sales of 19 million pounds, primarily reflecting the timing of shipments.
Consolidated sales volumes for the year 2024 are expected to approximate 4.1 billion pounds of copper, 2.0 million ounces of gold and 85 million pounds of molybdenum, including 1.0 billion pounds of copper, 575 thousand ounces of gold and 20 million pounds of molybdenum in first-quarter 2024. Consolidated copper production volumes for the year 2024 are expected to exceed 2024 sales volumes, reflecting the deferral of approximately 90 million pounds of copper that will be processed by the Manyar smelter and sold as refined metal in future periods.
Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance; extension of PT-FI’s export permits for copper concentrates and anode slimes beyond May 2024; the timing of the ramp-up of the Manyar smelter and precious metals refinery (PMR) (collectively, the Indonesia smelter projects); weather-related conditions, including ongoing El Niño weather impacts; timing of shipments and other factors detailed in the “Cautionary Statement” below.

Consolidated Unit Net Cash Costs
Fourth-quarter 2023 consolidated average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for FCX’s copper mines of $1.52 per pound of copper were lower than the October 2023 estimate of $1.58 per pound, primarily reflecting higher volumes in Indonesia.
Fourth-quarter 2023 consolidated average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for FCX’s copper mines of $1.52 per pound of copper were slightly lower than fourth-quarter 2022 average unit net cash costs of $1.53 per pound, primarily reflecting higher by-product credits and volumes, partly offset by higher export duties and treatment charges. Refer to “Mining Operations” below for further discussion.
Consolidated unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for FCX’s copper mines are expected to average $1.60 per pound of copper for the year 2024 (including $1.55 per pound of copper in first-quarter 2024), based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming average prices of $2,000 per ounce of gold and $19.00 per pound of molybdenum for the year 2024. Estimated consolidated unit net cash costs for the year 2024 include assessment of export duties at PT-FI of $0.11 per pound of copper (see “Regulatory Matters” below). Quarterly unit net cash costs vary with fluctuations in sales volumes and realized prices, primarily for gold and molybdenum. The impact of price changes on consolidated unit net cash costs for the year 2024 would approximate $0.04 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $0.02 per pound of copper for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.

MINING OPERATIONS
Leaching Innovation Initiatives. FCX is advancing a series of initiatives across its North America and South America operations to incorporate new applications, technologies and data analytics to its leaching processes. These leach innovation initiatives are providing opportunities to produce incremental copper from FCX’s large existing leach stockpiles. Initial results are providing incremental low-cost additions to FCX’s expected annual production and the potential to add to FCX’s reserve profile. FCX achieved its initial annual run rate target of approximately 200 million pounds of copper per year through these initiatives in fourth-quarter 2023 (incremental copper production from these initiatives totaled 47 million pounds in fourth-quarter 2023 and 144 million pounds for the year 2023). FCX is pursuing opportunities to apply recent operational enhancements at a larger scale and is testing new technology applications that it believes have the potential for significant increases in recoverable metal beyond the initial annual run rate target.
North America Copper Mines. FCX operates 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. In addition to copper, certain of these mines produce molybdenum concentrate, gold and silver. All of the North America mining operations are wholly owned, except for Morenci. FCX records its 72% undivided joint venture interest in Morenci using the proportionate consolidation method.
Operating and Development Activities. FCX has substantial reserves and future opportunities in the U.S., primarily associated with existing mining operations.
FCX is planning an expansion 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. FCX completed technical studies in late 2023, which indicated the opportunity to construct new concentrating facilities to expand capacity from 77,000 metric tons of ore per day to between 165,000 to 185,000 metric tons of ore per day. Incremental project capital costs approximate $3.5 billion (excluding infrastructure that would be required in the long-range plans) and is expected to increase production by approximately 200-250 million pounds per year, which would more than double Bagdad’s current production. Expanded operations also are expected to provide improved efficiency and reduce unit net cash costs through economies of scale. Project economics indicate that the expansion would require an incentive copper price in the range of $3.50 to $4.00 per pound and would require approximately three to four years to complete. The decision to proceed and timing of the potential expansion will take into account overall copper market conditions, availability of labor and other factors, including progress on conversion of the existing haul truck fleet to autonomous and expanding housing alternatives to support long-range plans. In parallel, FCX is advancing activities for expanded tailings infrastructure projects required under long-range plans in order to advance the potential construction timeline.
FCX continues to advance plans at Safford/Lone Star to increase volumes to achieve 300 million pounds of copper per year from oxide ores, which reflects expansion of the initial design capacity of 200 million pounds of copper per year. Positive drilling conducted in recent years indicates opportunities to expand production to include

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 production and sales from the North America copper mines for the fourth quarter and year 2023 were below the 2022 periods, primarily associated with the Morenci and Safford mines. The declines primarily reflect lower ore grades, partly offset by leach recovery initiatives and higher mining and milling rates. FCX is pursuing a number of initiatives to enhance productivity and improve equipment reliability to offset declines in ore grades. FCX is also reviewing cost performance and evaluating the costs and benefits of adjusting mining and milling rates at Morenci.
North America copper sales are estimated to approximate 1.3 billion pounds for the year 2024.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines of $2.86 per pound of copper in fourth-quarter 2023 were higher than fourth-quarter 2022 unit net cash costs of $2.49 per pound, primarily reflecting lower volumes and increased costs of labor (including contract labor), partly offset by lower energy costs and higher molybdenum by-product credits.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines are expected to approximate $2.89 per pound of copper for the year 2024, based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $19.00 per pound of molybdenum. North America’s average unit net cash costs for the year 2024 would change by approximately $0.04 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.
South America Mining. FCX operates two copper mines in South America – Cerro Verde in Peru (in which FCX owns a 53.56% interest) and El Abra in Chile (in which FCX owns a 51% interest). These operations are consolidated in FCX’s financial statements. In addition to copper, the Cerro Verde mine produces molybdenum concentrate and silver.
Operating and Development Activities. At the El Abra operations in Chile, FCX has 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. FCX is evaluating water infrastructure alternatives to provide options to extend existing operations and support a future expansion, while continuing to monitor Chile’s regulatory and fiscal matters, as well as trends in capital costs for similar projects. In parallel, as part of the permitting process for the potential expansion, FCX is engaged in planning for a potential

FCX’s consolidated production from South America mining for the year 2023 was higher than the year 2022, primarily reflecting an increase in mining rates and ore grades.
FCX’s consolidated copper sales volumes from South America of 287 million pounds in fourth-quarter 2023 were lower than fourth-quarter 2022 copper sales volumes of 317 million pounds, primarily reflecting impacts at Cerro Verde associated with lower recovery rates as a result of ore types processed and slightly lower milling rates and ore grades. Projected copper sales volumes of 1.1 billion in 2024 from South America mining reflect lower ore grades at Cerro Verde, but assume no significant impacts to water availability, which is being monitored closely in light of ongoing El Niño weather patterns.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America mining of $2.72 per pound of copper in fourth-quarter 2023 were higher than fourth-quarter 2022 unit net cash costs of $2.30 per pound, primarily reflecting lower volumes and molybdenum by-product credits, and higher treatment charges, partly offset by lower input costs.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America mining are expected to approximate $2.37 per pound of copper for the year 2024, based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $19.00 per pound of molybdenum.
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. FCX has a 48.76% ownership interest in PT-FI and manages its mining operations. PT-FI’s results are consolidated in FCX’s financial statements.
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 and has made substantial progress towards completion. At year-end 2023, progress on these projects was measured at over 90% (refer to “Indonesia Smelting and Refining” below).
In July 2023, PT-FI was granted an export license for copper concentrate, and in December 2023, PT-FI was granted an export license for anode slimes, each for the export of specified quantities of concentrates and

foremostincopper_coppergraa.jpg
copperbara.jpg

thepowerofcoppera.jpg
slimes and valid through May 2024. PT-FI is working with the Indonesia government to obtain approvals to continue exports of copper concentrates and anode slimes subsequent to May 2024 until the Indonesia smelter projects are fully commissioned and reach designed operating conditions.
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 was assessed export duties for copper concentrates at 7.5% in the second half of 2023. For 2024, the revised regulation assesses export duties for copper concentrates at 10% for companies with smelter progress of 70% to 90%, and at 7.5% for companies with smelter progress above 90%. PT-FI has requested that its achievement of construction progress exceeding 90% for the Indonesia smelter projects be reflected in any future assessments. PT-FI also continues to discuss the applicability of the revised regulation with the Indonesia government because of inconsistencies with its special mining license (IUPK), which provides that no export duties would be assessed after smelter development progress exceeded 50%. PT-FI has incurred export duties totaling $307 million in the second half of 2023 ($160 million in fourth-quarter 2023) under the revised regulation.
Mining Rights. Given the long-term nature of planning for mining investments, the Indonesia government is updating regulations that would enable PT-FI to apply sooner for an extension of its IUPK beyond 2041. An extension would enable continuity of large-scale operations for the benefit of all stakeholders and provide growth options through additional resource development opportunities in the highly attractive Grasberg minerals district.
Operating and Development Activities. Over a multi-year investment period, PT-FI has successfully commissioned three large-scale underground mines in the Grasberg minerals district (Grasberg Block Cave, Deep Mill Level Zone and Big Gossan), which provided production volumes of 1.7 billion pounds of copper and 2.0 million ounces of gold for the year 2023. Milling rates for ore from these underground mines averaged 214,300 metric tons of ore per day in fourth-quarter 2023, an approximate 8% increase from 198,100 metric tons of ore per day in fourth-quarter 2022. PT-FI set a number of annual operating records during 2023, including total underground ore mined (and milled) and volume of concentrate produced.
In December 2023, PT-FI completed the installation of new milling facilities, which will enable PT-FI to further leverage the success of the underground mines and 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 to provide incremental production of approximately 60 million pounds of copper and 40 thousand ounces of gold per year.
PT-FI continues 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 greenhouse gas emissions at the Grasberg minerals district. PT-FI is planning investments in a new gas-fired combined cycle facility. Capital expenditures for the new facilities, to be incurred over the next four years, approximate $1 billion representing an incremental cost of $0.4 billion compared to previously planned investments to refurbish the existing coal units.
Kucing Liar. Long-term mine development activities are ongoing for PT-FI’s Kucing Liar deposit in the Grasberg minerals district, which is expected to produce over 7 billion pounds of copper and 6 million ounces of gold between 2029 and the end of 2041. An extension of PT-FI’s operating rights beyond 2041 would extend the life of the project. Pre-production development activities commenced in 2022 and are expected to continue over an approximate 10-year timeframe. Capital investments are estimated to average approximately $400 million per year over this period. At full operating rates of approximately 90,000 metric tons of ore per day, annual production from Kucing Liar is expected to approximate 560 million pounds of copper and 520 thousand ounces of gold, providing PT-FI with sustained long-term, large-scale and low-cost production. Kucing Liar will benefit from substantial shared infrastructure and PT-FI’s experience and long-term success in block-cave mining.
Indonesia Smelting and Refining. In connection with PT-FI’s 2018 agreement with the Indonesia government to secure the extension of its long-term mining rights, PT-FI agreed to expand its domestic smelting and refining capacity. At the end of 2023, progress of the Indonesia smelter projects exceeded 90%. PT-FI is actively engaged in the following projects for additional domestic smelting and refining capacity:
In December 2023, PT Smelting commissioned the expansion of its capacity by 30% to 1.3 million metric tons of copper concentrate per year. The project was successfully completed on time and within budget. The project was funded by PT-FI with borrowings totaling approximately $250 million that will convert to equity in mid-2024, increasing PT-FI’s ownership in PT Smelting to approximately 65% from 39.5%.
Construction progress of the Manyar smelter in Gresik, Indonesia (with a capacity to process approximately 1.7 million metric tons of copper concentrate per year) is advancing on schedule with a target of May 2024

foremostincopper_coppergraa.jpg

thepowerofcoppera.jpg
for mechanical completion, followed by a ramp-up period through December 2024. Construction of the smelter has an estimated cost of $3.0 billion, including $2.8 billion for a construction contract (excluding capitalized interest, owner’s costs and commissioning) and $0.2 billion for investment in a desalination plant.
The PMR is being constructed to process gold and silver from the Manyar smelter and PT Smelting. Construction is in progress with commissioning expected during 2024. Current cost estimates total $665 million, which is approximately $90 million higher than the October 2023 estimate, reflecting updated costs for construction materials, labor and engineering.
Capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects totaled $1.7 billion for the year 2023 and are expected to approximate $1.0 billion for the year 2024. Capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects are being funded with PT-FI’s senior notes and availability under its revolving credit facility.

a.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.
b.Export duties were eliminated effective March 29, 2023, upon verification that construction progress of the Manyar smelter exceeded 50%. However, as noted in “Regulatory Matters” above, beginning in July 2023, PT-FI is being assessed export duties under a revised regulation, which it is continuing to discuss with the Indonesia government.
PT-FI’s consolidated sales of 511 million pounds of copper and 544 thousand ounces of gold in fourth-quarter 2023 were significantly higher than fourth-quarter 2022 sales of 387 million pounds of copper and 455 thousand ounces of gold, primarily reflecting higher mining rates and ore grades.
Consolidated sales volumes from PT-FI are expected to approximate 1.7 billion pounds of copper and 2.0 million ounces of gold for the year 2024. Consolidated copper production volumes from PT-FI for the year 2024 are expected to exceed 2024 sales volumes, reflecting the deferral of approximately 90 million pounds of copper that will be processed by the Manyar smelter and sold as refined metal in future periods. Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance; extension of PT-FI’s export permits for copper concentrates and anode slimes beyond May 2024; weather-related conditions; and other factors detailed in the “Cautionary Statement” below.
PT-FI’s unit net cash costs (net of gold, silver and other by-product credits) of less than $0.01 per pound of copper in fourth-quarter 2023 were lower than unit net cash costs of $0.06 per pound of copper in fourth-quarter 2022, primarily reflecting higher volumes and gold, silver and other by-product credits, partly offset by higher export duties and treatment charges.

thepowerofcoppera.jpg
Average unit net cash costs (including gold, silver and other by-product credits) for PT-FI are expected to approximate $0.09 per pound of copper for the year 2024, based on achievement of current sales volumes and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $2,000 per ounce of gold. PT-FI’s estimated unit net cash costs for the year 2024 include assessment of export duties of $0.27 per pound of copper (see “Regulatory Matters” above). PT-FI’s average unit net cash costs for the year 2024 would change by approximately $0.10 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold.
Molybdenum Mines. FCX operates 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 and at FCX’s North America and South America copper mines is processed at FCX’s conversion facilities.
Operating and Development Activities. Production from the Molybdenum mines totaled 8 million pounds of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2023 and was lower than fourth-quarter 2022 production of 10 million pounds of molybdenum, primarily reflecting lower milling rates associated with unplanned mill maintenance. FCX’s consolidated molybdenum sales and average realized prices include sales of molybdenum produced at the Molybdenum mines and at FCX’s North America and South America copper mines, which are presented on page 3.
Average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines of $14.83 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2023 were higher than average unit net cash costs of $11.94 per pound in fourth-quarter 2022, primarily reflecting lower production volumes and higher contract labor costs. Average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines are expected to approximate $14.29 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.

PRELIMINARY ESTIMATED RECOVERABLE PROVEN AND PROBABLE MINERAL RESERVES AND MINERAL RESOURCES
FCX has significant mineral reserves, mineral resources and future development opportunities within its portfolio of mining assets. FCX’s preliminary estimated consolidated recoverable proven and probable mineral reserves from its mines at December 31, 2023, include 104.1 billion pounds of copper, 24.5 million ounces of gold and 3.34 billion pounds of molybdenum, which were determined using metal price assumptions of $3.00 per pound for copper, $1,500 per ounce for gold and $12.00 per pound for molybdenum. The preliminary estimated recoverable proven and probable mineral reserves presented in the table below represent the estimated metal quantities from which FCX expects to be paid after application of estimated metallurgical recovery rates and smelter recovery rates, where applicable. Recoverable mineral reserve volumes are those which FCX estimates can be economically extracted or produced at the time of the mineral reserve determination.

In addition to the preliminary estimated consolidated recoverable proven and probable mineral reserves, FCX’s preliminary estimated mineral resources (including measured, indicated and inferred resources) at December 31, 2023, which were assessed using $3.50 per pound for copper, totaled 211 billion pounds of incremental contained copper. FCX continues to pursue opportunities to convert this material into mineral reserves, future production volumes and cash flow. See “Cautionary Statement” below.
LIQUIDITY, CASH FLOWS, CASH AND DEBT
Liquidity. At December 31, 2023, FCX had $4.8 billion in consolidated cash and cash equivalents ($5.8 billion including current restricted cash and cash equivalents associated with PT-FI’s export proceeds required to be temporarily deposited in Indonesia banks) and $3.0 billion of availability under its revolving credit facility. In addition, PT-FI and Cerro Verde have $1.75 billion and $350 million, respectively, of availability under their respective revolving credit facilities.
At December 31, 2023, FCX had $1.2 billion in current restricted cash and cash equivalents, which includes (i) $1.1 billion in PT-FI’s export proceeds temporarily deposited in Indonesia banks in accordance with a 2023 regulation issued by the Indonesia government that requires 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 bonds to support PT-FI’s commitment for smelter development in Indonesia.
Operating Cash Flows. FCX generated operating cash flows of $1.3 billion (net of $0.2 billion of working capital and other uses) in fourth-quarter 2023 and $5.3 billion (net of $0.9 billion of working capital and other uses) for the year 2023.
FCX’s consolidated operating cash flows are estimated to approximate $5.8 billion (including $0.1 billion of working capital and other sources) for the year 2024, based on current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming average prices of $3.75 per pound of copper, $2,000 per ounce of gold and $19.00 per pound of molybdenum. The impact of price changes on operating cash flows for the year 2024 would approximate $400 million for each $0.10 per pound change in the average price of copper, $180 million for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $120 million for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures totaled $1.4 billion in fourth-quarter 2023 (including $0.5 billion for major mining projects and $0.5 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects) and $4.8 billion for the year 2023 (including $1.8 billion for major mining projects and $1.7 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects).
Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $4.6 billion for the year 2024 (including $2.3 billion for major mining projects and $1.0 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects). Projected capital expenditures for major mining projects include $1.1 billion for planned projects primarily associated with underground mine development in the Grasberg minerals district and potential expansion projects in North America, and $1.2 billion for discretionary growth projects. Capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects are being funded with PT-FI’s senior notes and availability under its revolving credit facility.

FCX’s total debt has an average remaining duration of approximately 10 years.
In November 2023, PT-FI amended and restated its senior unsecured revolving credit facility to, among other things, increase the availability from $1.3 billion to $1.75 billion, extend the maturity date under the facility from July 2026 to November 2028 and reduce the applicable margin rates. As of December 31, 2023, PT-FI had no borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility.
FINANCIAL POLICY
FCX’s financial policy is aligned with its 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 FCX maintaining its 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 the Indonesia smelter projects). The Board of Directors (Board) reviews the structure of the performance-based payout framework at least annually.
At December 31, 2023, FCX’s net debt, excluding net debt for the Indonesia smelter projects, totaled $0.8 billion (which was net of $1.1 billion of current restricted cash associated with PT-FI’s export proceeds). Refer to the supplemental schedule, “Net Debt,” on page IX.
On December 20, 2023, 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 February 1, 2024, to shareholders of record as of January 12, 2024. The declaration and payment of dividends (base or variable) is at the discretion of the Board and will

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 cautions investors that it 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.
Estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources are subject to considerable uncertainty. Such estimates are, to a large extent, based on metal prices for the commodities we produce and interpretations of geologic data, which may not necessarily be indicative of future results or quantities ultimately recovered. This press release also includes forward-looking statements regarding mineral resources not included in proven and probable mineral reserves. A mineral resource, which includes measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources, is a concentration or occurrence of material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, grade or quality, and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction. Such a deposit cannot qualify as recoverable proven and probable mineral reserves until legal and economic feasibility are confirmed based upon a comprehensive evaluation of development and operating costs, grades, recoveries and other material modifying factors. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the estimated mineral resources will become proven and probable mineral reserves.
This press release also contains measures such as net debt, adjusted net income and unit net cash costs per pound of copper and molybdenum, which are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Reconciliations of these measures to amounts reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements are in the supplemental schedules of this press release.

b.FCX is engaged in various studies associated with potential future expansion projects primarily at its mining operations. Production and delivery costs include charges for these feasibility and optimization studies totaling $46 million in fourth-quarter 2023, $56 million in fourth-quarter 2022, $185 million for the year 2023 and $139 million for the year 2022.
c.Consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) totaled $177 million in fourth-quarter 2023 and $186 million in fourth-quarter 2022, $782 million for the year 2023 and $710 million for the year 2022. The decrease in consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, is primarily a result of lower average outstanding debt in fourth-quarter 2023. The increase in consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) for the year 2023, compared to the year 2022, is primarily related to interest associated with Peruvian Supreme Court rulings that are being contested by Cerro Verde (refer to the supplemental schedule, “Adjusted Net Income,” on page VII).
d.For a summary of FCX’s income taxes, refer to the supplemental schedule, “Income Taxes,” on page VIII.
e.Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is primarily associated with PT-FI, Cerro Verde and El Abra. For further discussion, refer to the supplemental schedule, “Noncontrolling Interests,” on page X.

b.In addition to FCX’s 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.In accordance with applicable accounting rules, FCX adjusts its interim provision for income taxes equal to its consolidated tax rate.
e.Includes net charges associated with contested tax rulings issued by the Peruvian Supreme Court totaling $142 million ($73 million net of noncontrolling interests). Refer to the supplemental schedule, “Adjusted Net Income,” on page VII.

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 materially impact FCX’s financial results in 2023. Although the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) published guidance in 2023 that provided some additional clarity on these rules, uncertainty remains regarding the application of the CAMT. Future guidance released by the Treasury may differ from FCX’s interpretations of the Act, which could be material and may further limit FCX’s ability to realize future benefits from its U.S. net operating losses.
Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and average prices of $3.75 per pound for copper, $2,000 per ounce for gold and $19.00 per pound for molybdenum, FCX estimates its consolidated effective tax rate for the year 2024 would approximate 40%. Changes in projected sales volumes and average prices during 2024 would incur tax impacts at estimated effective rates of 39% for Peru, 36% for Indonesia and 0% for the U.S., which excludes any impact from the Act. FCX’s projected estimated effective tax rate of 0% for the U.S. for the year 2024 may be adjusted as additional guidance is released by the Treasury on key provisions of the Act.

Freeport-McMoRan Inc.
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 net project debt for the Indonesia smelter projects). FCX defines net debt as consolidated debt less (i) consolidated cash and cash equivalents and (ii) current restricted cash associated with PT-FI’s export proceeds. This information differs from consolidated debt determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for consolidated debt determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. FCX’s net debt, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, follows (in billions):

b.Effective August 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 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.
c.Includes consolidated debt of $3.0 billion and consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $0.2 billion as of December 31, 2023, and $1.8 billion as of December 31, 2022.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
For the year 2023, FCX’s mined copper was sold 51% in concentrate, 27% as cathode and 22% as rod from North America operations. All of FCX’s copper concentrate and some cathode sales contracts provide final copper pricing in a specified future month (generally one to four months from the shipment date) based primarily on quoted London Metal Exchange (LME) monthly average copper prices. FCX records revenues and invoices customers at the time of shipment based on then-current LME prices, which results in an embedded derivative on provisionally priced concentrate and cathode sales that is adjusted to fair value through earnings each period, using the period-end forward prices, until final pricing on the date of settlement. In fourth-quarter 2023, LME copper settlement prices averaged $3.70 per pound and FCX’s average realized copper price was $3.81 per pound. At December 31, 2023, FCX’s provisionally priced copper sales were recorded at an average price of $3.87 per pound.
Beginning on January 1, 2023, PT-FI’s commercial arrangement with PT Smelting changed from a concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement. Under this arrangement, PT-FI pays PT Smelting a tolling fee to smelt and refine its concentrate and PT-FI retains title to all products for sale to third parties (i.e., there are no further sales to PT Smelting). PT-FI’s sale of copper cathodes under the tolling arrangement are priced in the month of shipment and are not subject to provisional pricing.

b.Reflects adjustments to provisionally priced copper sales for the years 2023 and 2022.

At December 31, 2023, FCX had provisionally priced copper sales at its copper mining operations totaling 223 million pounds of copper (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average price of $3.87 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. FCX estimates that each $0.05 change in the price realized from the quarter-end provisional price would have an approximate $22 million effect on 2024 revenues ($7 million to net income attributable to common stock). The LME copper price settled at $3.76 per pound on January 23, 2024.

DEFERRED PROFITS
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 (PT-FI’s 39.5% owned copper smelter and refinery in Gresik, Indonesia) for the 2022 periods) until final sales to third parties occur. Changes in these deferrals attributable to variability in intercompany volumes resulted in net (reductions) additions to operating income totaling $(89) million ($(26) million to net income attributable to common stock) in fourth-quarter 2023, $(21) million ($(4) million to net income attributable to common stock) in fourth-quarter 2022, $64 million ($37 million to net income attributable to common stock) for the year 2023 and $52 million ($33 million to net income attributable to common stock) for the year 2022. FCX’s net deferred profits on its inventories at Atlantic Copper to be recognized in future periods’ operating income totaled $57 million at December 31, 2023. 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 $619 million in fourth-quarter 2023 and $1.9 billion for the year 2023 (which represented 36% and 32%, respectively, of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes). Refer to “Business Segments” below for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for each of FCX’s business segments. As noted above, FCX’s economic interest in PT-FI is 48.76% and prior to January 1, 2023, it approximated 81%. 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.
Based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming average prices of $3.75 per pound of copper, $2,000 per ounce of gold and $19.00 per pound of molybdenum, FCX estimates that net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is estimated to approximate $2.1 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.

Freeport-McMoRan Inc.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
FCX has organized its mining operations into four primary divisions – North America copper mines, South America mining, Indonesia mining and Molybdenum mines, and operating segments that meet certain thresholds are reportable segments. Separately disclosed in the following tables are FCX’s reportable segments, which include the Morenci and Cerro Verde copper mines, the Grasberg minerals district (Indonesia Mining), the Rod & Refining operations and Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining.
Intersegment sales between FCX’s business segments are based on terms similar to arms-length transactions with third parties at the time of the sale. Intersegment sales may not be reflective of the actual prices ultimately realized because of a variety of factors, including additional processing, 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, 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 segment information reflects management determinations that may not be indicative of what the actual financial performance of each operating division or segment would be if it was an independent entity.

PRODUCT REVENUES AND PRODUCTION COSTS

Unit net cash costs 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 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.

Cautionary Statement This presentation contains forward-looking statements in which FCX discusses its potential future performance, operations and projects. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements of historical facts, such as plans, projections, or expectations relating to business outlook, strategy, goals or targets; global market conditions; ore grades and milling rates; production and sales volumes; unit net cash costs and operating costs; capital expenditures; operating plans; cash flows; liquidity; PT-FI’s construction and completion of additional domestic smelting and refining capacity in Indonesia in accordance with the terms of its special mining license (IUPK); extension of PT Freeport Indonesia’s (PT-FI) IUPK beyond 2041; export licenses; export duties; export volumes; FCX’s commitment to deliver responsibly produced copper and molybdenum, including plans to implement, validate and maintain validation of its operating sites under specific frameworks; execution of FCX’s energy and climate strategies and the underlying assumptions and estimated impacts on FCX’s business and stakeholders related thereto; achievement of 2030 climate targets and 2050 net zero aspiration; improvements in operating procedures and technology innovations and applications; exploration efforts and results; development and production activities, rates and costs; future organic growth opportunities; tax rates; the impact of copper, gold and molybdenum price changes; the impact of deferred intercompany profits on earnings; mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates; final resolution of settlements associated with ongoing legal and environmental proceedings; debt repurchases; and the ongoing implementation of FCX’s financial policy and future returns to shareholders, including dividend payments (base or variable) and share repurchases. 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 of Directors (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. The share repurchase program may be modified, increased, suspended or terminated at any time at the Board’s discretion. FCX cautions readers that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated, expected, projected or assumed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that can cause FCX’s actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, supply of and demand for, and prices of the commodities FCX produces, primarily copper; PT-FI’s ability to continue to export and sell copper concentrates and anode slimes; changes in export duties, including results of proceedings to dispute export duties; completion of additional domestic smelting and refining capacity in Indonesia; production rates; timing of shipments; price and availability of consumables and components FCX purchases as well as constraints on supply and logistics, and transportation services; changes in FCX’s cash requirements, financial position, financing or investment plans; changes in general market, economic, geopolitical, regulatory or industry conditions; reductions in liquidity and access to capital; changes in tax laws and regulations; political and social risks, including the potential effects of violence in Indonesia, civil unrest in Peru, and relations with local communities and Indigenous Peoples; operational risks inherent in mining, with higher inherent risks in underground mining; mine sequencing; changes in mine plans or operational modifications, delays, deferrals or cancellations, including the ability to smelt and refine; results of technical, economic or feasibility studies; potential inventory adjustments; potential impairment of long-lived mining assets; satisfaction of requirements in accordance with PT-FI’s IUPK to extend mining rights from 2031 through 2041; discussions relating to the extension of PT-FI’s IUPK beyond 2041; cybersecurity risks; any major public health crisis; labor relations, including labor-related work stoppages and increased costs; compliance with 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, 2022, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as updated by FCX’s subsequent filings with the SEC. 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 cautions investors that it 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. Estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources are subject to considerable uncertainty. Such estimates are, to a large extent, based on metal prices for the commodities we produce and interpretations of geologic data, which may not necessarily be indicative of future results or quantities ultimately recovered. This presentation includes forward-looking statements regarding mineral resources not included in proven and probable mineral reserves. A mineral resource, which includes measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources, is a concentration or occurrence of material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, grade or quality, and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction. Such a deposit cannot qualify as recoverable proven and probable mineral reserves until legal and economic feasibility are confirmed based upon a comprehensive evaluation of development and operating costs, grades, recoveries and other material modifying factors. This presentation also includes forward-looking statements regarding mineral potential, which includes exploration targets and mineral resources but will not qualify as mineral reserves until comprehensive engineering studies establish legal and economic feasibility. Significant additional evaluation is required and no assurance can be given that the potential quantities of metal will be produced. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that estimated mineral resources or mineral potential will become proven and probable mineral reserves. This presentation also contains measures such as unit net cash costs per pound of copper and molybdenum, net debt and adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), which are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). FCX’s calculation and reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound of copper and net debt to amounts reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements are in the supplemental schedules of FCX’s 4Q23 and YE 2023 press release, which is available on FCX’s website, fcx.com. A reconciliation of amounts reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements to adjusted EBITDA is included on slide 37. For forward-looking non-GAAP 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. 2

(2) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, lenders and others to evaluate companies’ performance, including, among other things, profitability before the effect of financing and similar decisions. Because securities analysts, investors, lenders and others use Adjusted EBITDA, management believes that our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA affords them greater transparency in assessing our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, as different companies calculate such measures differently.
