Richard Adkerson, Chairman of the Board, and Kathleen Quirk, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our global team remained focused during the quarter on strong execution of our operating plans, enhancing productivity and cost control, and initiatives to build and advance optionality in our organic growth portfolio. Our team reached an important milestone in Indonesia during the quarter with the start of commissioning of our major new copper smelter, and we are working to execute a safe and efficient ramp-up to full capacity by the end of the year. This strategically important investment is integral to support our long-term, high-quality operations in the Grasberg minerals district. Copper pricing was strong in the second quarter. The long-term outlook for copper is supported by copper’s increasingly important role in the global economy and limited available supplies to meet growing demand. Freeport is well positioned for the future as a leading, responsible producer of copper with multiple options for future growth and an experienced and innovative team with a track record of accomplishment.”

Consolidated Sales Volumes
•Second-quarter 2024 copper sales of 931 million pounds were 5% lower than the April 2024 estimate of 975 million pounds and 10% lower than second-quarter 2023 sales of 1.0 billion pounds, primarily reflecting shipping delays in Indonesia associated with the timing of renewing PT-FI’s copper concentrate export license, which was granted in July 2024.
•Second-quarter 2024 gold sales of 361 thousand ounces were 28% lower than the April 2024 estimate of 500 thousand ounces and 27% lower than second-quarter 2023 sales of 495 thousand ounces, primarily reflecting shipping delays in Indonesia associated with the timing of renewing PT-FI’s anode slimes export license, which was granted in July 2024.
•Second-quarter 2024 molybdenum sales of 21 million pounds were in line with the April 2024 estimate of 21 million pounds and second-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 82 million pounds of molybdenum, including 1.0 billion pounds of copper, 475 thousand ounces of gold and 20 million pounds of molybdenum in third-quarter 2024. As previously reported, estimated consolidated gold sales volumes for the year 2024 are approximately 150 thousand ounces lower than April 2024 guidance as a result of changes in mine sequencing at PT-FI principally to address wet conditions in certain draw points at the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine.
Consolidated copper and gold production volumes for the year 2024 are expected to exceed 2024 sales volumes, reflecting the deferral of approximately 100 million pounds of copper and 120 thousand ounces of gold that will be processed by PT-FI’s new downstream processing facilities and sold as refined metal in 2025.
Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance; the timing of the ramp-up of PT-FI’s new smelter in Indonesia; weather-related conditions; timing of shipments and other factors detailed in the “Cautionary Statement” below.
Consolidated Unit Net Cash Costs
Second-quarter 2024 consolidated average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for FCX’s copper mines of $1.73 per pound of copper were higher than the April 2024 estimate of $1.57 per pound primarily reflecting lower copper and gold sales volumes as a result of the delay in shipments at PT-FI associated with the timing of renewing its export licenses.
Second-quarter 2024 consolidated average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits for FCX’s copper mines) were higher than second-quarter 2023 average unit net cash costs of $1.47 per pound of copper, primarily reflecting lower sales volumes, higher export duties at PT-FI and nonrecurring costs for a new labor agreement at Cerro Verde. 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 $1.63 per pound of copper for the year 2024 (including $1.71 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2024), based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming average prices of $2,300 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum for the second half of 2024. Quarterly unit net cash costs vary with fluctuations in sales volumes and realized prices, primarily for gold and molybdenum. The impact of price changes on consolidated unit net cash costs would approximate $0.02 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $0.01 per pound of copper for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum for the second half of 2024.
OPERATIONS
Leaching Innovation Initiatives. FCX is continuing to advance a series of initiatives across its North America and South America operations to incorporate new applications, technologies and data analytics to its leaching processes. In late 2023, FCX achieved its initial annual run rate target of approximately 200 million pounds of copper. Incremental copper production from these initiatives totaled 55 million pounds in second-quarter 2024 (compared with 29 million pounds in second-quarter 2023) and 106 million pounds for the first six months of 2024 (compared with 51 million pounds for the first six 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, which is more than double Bagdad’s current annual production rate. Estimated incremental project capital costs approximate $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 to proceed and timing of the potential expansion will take into account overall copper market conditions, availability of labor and other factors, including progress on conversion of the existing haul truck fleet to autonomous and expanding housing alternatives to support long-range plans. In parallel, FCX is advancing activities for expanded tailings infrastructure projects required under long-range plans in order to advance the potential construction timeline.
FCX is completing projects at its Safford/Lone Star operation to increase volumes to achieve 300 million pounds of copper per year from oxide ores, which reflects expansion of the initial design capacity of 200 million pounds of copper per year. Additionally, positive drilling conducted in recent years indicates a large, mineralized district with opportunities to pursue a major expansion project. FCX has commenced pre-feasibility studies for a potential significant expansion and expects to complete these studies in late 2025. The decision to proceed and
timing of the potential expansion will take into account results of technical and economic studies, overall copper market conditions and other factors.

b.For a reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, “Product Revenues and Production Costs,” beginning on page XIV.
FCX’s consolidated copper sales volumes from North America of 292 million pounds in second-quarter 2024 were lower than second-quarter 2023 copper sales volumes of 339 million pounds, primarily reflecting lower ore grades and planned mill maintenance, partly offset by improved leach recovery performance. FCX continues to advance initiatives to enhance productivity and improve equipment reliability to offset declines in ore grades. North America copper sales are estimated to approximate 1.3 billion pounds for the year 2024.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines of $3.19 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2024 were higher than second-quarter 2023 unit net cash costs of $2.51 per pound, primarily reflecting the impact of lower copper production volumes and lower molybdenum by-product credits.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines are expected to approximate $3.10 per pound of copper for the year 2024, based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $20.00 per pound of molybdenum for the second half of 2024. North America’s average unit net cash costs for the year 2024 would change by approximately $0.02 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum for the second half of 2024.
South America. FCX manages two copper operations in South America – Cerro Verde in Peru (in which FCX owns a 53.56% interest) and El Abra in Chile (in which FCX owns a 51% interest). These operations are consolidated in FCX’s financial statements. In addition to copper, the Cerro Verde mine produces molybdenum concentrate and silver.
Labor Matters. In April 2024, Cerro Verde reached a new four-year collective labor agreement (CLA) with one of its two unions and incurred nonrecurring charges of $65 million in second-quarter 2024 associated with the new CLA. Cerro Verde expects to begin negotiations with a second union group prior to the expiration of its CLA on August 31, 2024, and may incur additional charges in connection with these negotiations.
Development Activities. At the El Abra operations in Chile, FCX has completed substantial drilling and evaluation to model a large sulfide resource that would support a potential major mill project similar to the large-scale concentrator at Cerro Verde. FCX is engaged in planning for a potential submission of an environmental impact statement by year-end 2025, subject to ongoing stakeholder engagement and economic evaluations. In
parallel, FCX has updated its technical studies and economic models to incorporate recent capital cost trends. 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 to proceed and timing of the potential project will take into account overall copper market conditions and other factors.

FCX’s consolidated copper sales from South America operations in second-quarter 2024 approximated second-quarter 2023. 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 $2.46 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2024 were higher than second-quarter 2023 unit net cash costs of $2.28 per pound, primarily reflecting nonrecurring labor-contract charges at Cerro Verde associated with a new CLA and higher mining costs, partly offset by higher molybdenum by-product credits.
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, based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $20.00 per pound of molybdenum for the second half of 2024.
Indonesia. PT-FI operates one of the world’s largest copper and gold mines at the Grasberg minerals district in Central Papua, Indonesia. PT-FI produces copper concentrate that contains significant quantities of gold and silver. FCX has a 48.76% ownership interest in PT-FI and manages its operations. PT-FI’s results are consolidated in FCX’s financial statements. Upon completion and full ramp-up of the new downstream processing facilities, PT-FI will be a fully integrated producer of refined copper and gold.
Regulatory Matters and Mining Rights. On May 31, 2024, export licenses expired for several exporters, including PT-FI. In second-quarter 2024, the Indonesia government issued various regulations to allow, under certain conditions, continued exports of copper concentrates and anode slimes through December 2024.
On July 2, 2024, PT-FI was granted copper concentrate and anode slimes export licenses, which are valid through December 2024 when the full ramp-up of PT-FI’s new smelter is expected. PT-FI will continue to pay export
duties on copper concentrates during the smelter ramp-up period pursuant to the Indonesia regulations. The applicable rate prescribed by current regulations is 7.5% of the export value.
On May 30, 2024, the Indonesia government issued a regulation applicable to the country’s mineral and coal industries which outlines requirements for the granting of special mining license (IUPK) extensions. The regulation provides that IUPK holders may be granted a life-of-mine extension 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; commitments for additional exploration; and increases in refining capacity approved by the Ministry of Energy and Minerals. Application for extension may be submitted at any time up to one year prior to the current IUPK expiration. PT-FI’s current IUPK provides extension rights to 2041, and PT-FI expects to apply for an extension during 2024. 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). Milling rates averaged 196,900 metric tons of ore per day in second-quarter 2024, which reflected reduced rates in June 2024 because of the delay in obtaining PT-FI’s export licenses. PT-FI is completing a mill recovery project with the installation of a new copper cleaner circuit, which is expected to begin commissioning in the second half of 2024.
Natural Gas Facilities. PT-FI plans to transition its existing energy source from coal to liquefied natural gas, which would meaningfully reduce PT-FI’s Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions at the Grasberg minerals district. PT-FI’s planned investments in a new gas-fired combined cycle facility is 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.
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.
Downstream Processing Facilities. PT-FI substantially completed construction of its new smelter in June 2024 and commenced commissioning operations. The new smelter has a capacity to process approximately 1.7 million metric tons of copper concentrate per year and is expected to begin producing copper cathodes in the coming months with ramp-up to full production targeted by year-end 2024 in line with previous expectations.
The PMR is being constructed to process gold and silver from the new smelter and PT Smelting. Construction is in progress with full production expected by year-end 2024.
Capital expenditures for the new downstream processing facilities totaled $0.3 billion in second-quarter 2024 and are expected to approximate $1.0 billion for the year 2024, which excludes capitalized interest and $0.3 billion of estimated commissioning and owner’s costs.
In December 2023, PT Smelting completed an expansion of its capacity by 30% to 1.3 million metric tons of copper concentrate per year. The project was funded by PT-FI with borrowings totaling $254 million that converted to equity effective June 30, 2024, increasing PT-FI’s ownership in PT Smelting to 66% from 39.5%.

a.For a reconciliation of unit net cash credits per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, “Product Revenues and Production Costs,” beginning on page XIV.
b.Export duties of 2.5% were eliminated effective March 29, 2023, upon verification that construction progress of the new smelter exceeded 50%, before being reinstated in July 2023 as part of a 2023 revised regulation. PT-FI is currently being assessed export duties of 7.5%.
PT-FI’s copper production of 441 million pounds in second-quarter 2024 was 9% above copper production of 406 million pounds in second-quarter 2023, primarily reflecting higher ore grades. PT-FI’s gold production of 437 thousand ounces in second-quarter 2024 was 9% below gold production of 479 thousand ounces in second-quarter 2023, primarily reflecting lower ore grades. PT-FI’s consolidated sales of 337 million pounds of copper and 356 thousand ounces of gold in second-quarter 2024 were below production during the period and lower than second-quarter 2023 sales volumes, reflecting shipping delays associated with the timing of renewing its copper concentrate and anode slimes export licenses.
Consolidated sales volumes from PT-FI are expected to approximate 1.7 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 100 million pounds of copper and 120 thousand ounces of gold that will be processed by the new downstream processing facilities and sold as refined metal in 2025. Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance; the timing of ramp-up 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) were $0.21 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2024 and $0.09 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2023.
Average unit net cash credits (including gold, silver and other by-product credits) for PT-FI are expected to approximate $0.07 per pound of copper for the year 2024, based on achievement of current sales volumes and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $2,300 per ounce of gold for the second half of 2024. PT-FI’s average unit net cash credits for the year 2024 would change by approximately $0.06 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold for the second half of 2024.
Molybdenum. FCX operates two wholly owned primary molybdenum operations in Colorado – the Climax open-pit mine and the Henderson underground mine. The Climax and Henderson mines produce high-purity, chemical-grade molybdenum concentrate, which is typically further processed into value-added molybdenum chemical products. The majority of the molybdenum concentrate produced at the Climax and Henderson mines and at FCX’s North America copper mines and South America operations is processed at FCX’s conversion facilities.
Operating and Development Activities. Production from the primary molybdenum operations totaled 7 million pounds of molybdenum in each of second-quarter 2024 and 2023. FCX’s consolidated molybdenum sales and average realized prices include sales of molybdenum produced at the primary molybdenum operations and at FCX’s North America copper mines and South America operations, which are presented on page 3.
Average unit net cash costs for the primary molybdenum operations of $19.41 per pound of molybdenum in second-quarter 2024 were higher than average unit net cash costs of $15.99 per pound in second-quarter 2023, primarily reflecting higher transitional contract-labor costs, and operating and maintenance supply costs. Average unit net cash costs for the primary molybdenum operations are expected to approximate $17.00 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 June 30, 2024, FCX had $5.3 billion in consolidated cash and cash equivalents, $6.2 billion including $0.9 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 $1.75 billion and $350 million, respectively, of availability under their revolving credit facilities.
Operating Cash Flows. FCX generated operating cash flows of $2.0 billion in second-quarter 2024 and $3.9 billion for the first six months of 2024.
FCX’s consolidated operating cash flows are estimated to approximate $7.2 billion for the year 2024, based on current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming average prices of $4.25 per pound of copper, $2,300 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum for the second half of 2024. The impact of price changes for the second half of 2024 on operating cash flows would approximate $200 million for each $0.10 per pound change in the average price of copper, $80 million for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $50 million for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures totaled $1.1 billion in second-quarter 2024, including $0.4 billion for major mining projects and $0.3 billion for PT-FI’s new downstream processing facilities, and $2.4 billion for the first six months of 2024, including $0.9 billion for major mining projects and $0.7 billion for PT-FI’s new downstream processing facilities.
Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $4.7 billion for the year 2024, including $2.3 billion for major mining projects and $1.0 billion for PT-FI’s new downstream processing facilities. 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 expansion projects in North America, and $1.2 billion for discretionary growth projects.

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). The Board of Directors (Board) reviews the structure of the performance-based payout framework at least annually.
Net Debt. At June 30, 2024, FCX’s net debt, excluding $3.0 billion of debt for PT-FI’s new downstream processing facilities, totaled $0.3 billion (which was net of $0.9 billion of current restricted cash associated with PT-FI’s export proceeds). Refer to the supplemental schedule, “Net Debt,” on page IX.
Common Stock Dividends. On June 26, 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 August 1, 2024, to shareholders of record as of July 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.
Share Repurchase Program. In July 2024, FCX acquired 1.2 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $59 million ($50.48 average cost per share) bringing total purchases under its $5.0 billion share repurchase program to 49.0 million shares for a cost of $1.9 billion ($38.64 average cost per share). As of July 22, 2024, FCX has 1.44 billion shares of common stock outstanding and $3.1 billion is available under its share repurchase program. The timing and amount of share repurchases is at the discretion of management and will depend on a variety of factors. The share repurchase program may be modified, increased, suspended or terminated at any time at the Board’s discretion.

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.

ADJUSTED NET INCOME
Management uses adjusted net income to evaluate FCX’s operating performance and believes that investors’ understanding of FCX’s performance is enhanced by disclosing this measure, which excludes certain items that management believes are not directly related to ongoing operations and are not indicative of future business trends and operations. This information differs from net income attributable to common stock determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

In accordance with PT-FI's Shareholder Agreement, settlements of historical tax matters that originated before December 31, 2022, should be attributed based on the economics from the Initial Period (i.e., approximately 81% to FCX and 19% to MIND ID). Accordingly, the noncontrolling interest portion of these credits totaled $43 million.

g.Includes a tax benefit of $13 million associated with a favorable Supreme Court ruling in Spain, which reversed a 2016 tax law limiting Atlantic Copper’s use of net operating losses.
The provisions of the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the Act) became applicable to FCX on January 1, 2023. The Act includes, among other provisions, a new Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) of 15% on the adjusted financial statement income (AFSI) of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1.0 billion over a three-year period. FCX has made interpretations of certain provisions of the Act, and based on these interpretations, determined that the provisions of the Act did not impact FCX’s financial results for the first six months of 2024 or for the year 2023.
Although the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) published guidance in 2023 that provided some additional clarity on these rules, regulations are yet to be published and uncertainty remains regarding the application of the CAMT. Future guidance released by the Treasury may differ from FCX’s interpretations of the Act, which could be material and may further limit FCX’s ability to realize future benefits from its U.S. net operating losses.

INCOME TAXES (continued)
Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and average prices of $4.25 per pound for copper, $2,300 per ounce for gold and $20.00 per pound for molybdenum for the second half of 2024, FCX estimates its consolidated effective tax rate for the year 2024 would approximate 36% (which reflects an estimated effective tax rate of 38% for the second half of 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 any impact from the Act. FCX’s projected estimated effective tax rate of 0% for the U.S. for the year 2024 may be adjusted as additional guidance is released by the Treasury on key provisions of the Act.
NET DEBT
FCX believes that net debt provides investors with information related to the performance-based payout framework in FCX’s financial policy, which requires FCX to maintain its net debt at a level not to exceed the net debt target of $3 billion to $4 billion, excluding debt for 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 billions):

b.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.Represents senior notes issued by PT-FI.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, FCX’s mined copper was sold 45% in concentrate, 34% as cathode and 21% as rod from North America operations. All of FCX’s copper concentrate and some cathode sales contracts provide final copper pricing in a specified future month (generally one to four months from the shipment date) based primarily on quoted London Metal Exchange (LME) monthly average copper prices. FCX records revenues and invoices customers at the time of shipment based on then-current LME prices, which results in an embedded derivative on provisionally priced concentrate and cathode sales that is adjusted to fair value through earnings each period, using the period-end forward prices, until final pricing on the date of settlement. In second-quarter 2024, LME copper settlement prices averaged $4.42 per pound and FCX’s average realized copper price was $4.48 per pound.

b.Reflects adjustments to provisionally priced copper sales for the first six months of 2024 and 2023.
At June 30, 2024, FCX had provisionally priced copper sales totaling 188 million pounds (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average price of $4.33 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 $18 million effect on 2024 revenues ($6 million to net income attributable to common stock). The LME copper price settled at $4.14 per pound on July 22, 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 additions (reductions) to operating income totaling $137 million ($41 million to net income attributable to common stock) in second-quarter 2024, $(39) million ($(21) million to net income attributable to common stock) in second-quarter 2023, $120 million ($36 million to net income attributable to common stock) for the first six months of 2024 and $72 million ($27 million to net income attributable to common stock) for the first six months of 2023. FCX’s net deferred profits on its inventories at Atlantic Copper to be recognized in future periods’ operating income totaled $97 million ($30 million to net income attributable to common stock) at June 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 $664 million in second-quarter 2024 (which represented 33% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes), $388 million in second-quarter 2023 (which represented 31% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes), $1.4 billion for the first six months of 2024 (which represented 37% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes) and $774 million for the first six months of 2023 (which represented 28% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes). Refer to “Business Segments” below for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for each of FCX’s business segments. As noted above, beginning January 1, 2023, FCX's economic and ownership interest in PT-FI is 48.76% except for net income associated with the settlement of historical tax matters in first-quarter 2024 and approximately 190 thousand ounces of gold sales in first-quarter 2023, which were attributed based on the economics prior to January 1, 2023 (i.e., approximately 81% to FCX and 19% to MIND ID).
Based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming average prices of $4.25 per pound of copper, $2,300 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum for the second half of 2024, FCX estimates that net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is estimated to approximate $2.6 billion (which would represent 35% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes) for the year 2024. The actual amount will depend on many factors, including relative performance of each business segment, commodity prices, costs and other factors
FREEPORT
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
FCX has organized its mining operations into four primary divisions – North America copper mines, South America operations, Indonesia operations and Molybdenum mines, and operating segments that meet certain thresholds are reportable segments. Separately disclosed in the following tables are FCX’s reportable segments, which include the Morenci and Cerro Verde copper mines, the Indonesia operations (including the Grasberg minerals districts and the 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 districts and the new Indonesia downstream processing facilities. PT-FI substantially completed construction of the new smelter in June 2024 and has commenced commissioning operations. The smelter is expected to begin producing copper cathodes in the coming months and continues to target full ramp up by the end of 2024. Construction of the PMR is in progress with full production expected by year-end 2024. The 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 Operating Decision Maker does, and will, make 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.

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.
