NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S.). Therefore, this information should be read in conjunction with Freeport-McMoRan Inc.’s (FCX) consolidated financial statements and notes contained in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021 (2021~~2022 (2022 Form 10-K). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported. All such adjustments are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI). Beginning January 1, 2023, FCX’s economic ownership interest in PT-FI is 48.76% and prior to January 1, 2023, FCX’s economic interest in PT-FI approximated 81%. As discussed in Note 3 of FCX’s 2022 Form 10-K, in accordance with provisions pertaining to PT-FI’s shareholders agreement, FCX's first-quarter 2023 net income included a $35 million net benefit associated with PT-FI sales volumes that were attributed to FCX at its previous approximate 81% economic ownership interest.

Subsequent Events. FCX evaluated events after March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, and through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and determined any events and transactions occurring during this period that would require recognition or disclosure are appropriately addressed in these consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

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

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

b.The increase in finished goods inventory at March 31, 2023, was associated with the change in PT-FI's commercial arrangement with PT Smelting (PT-FI’s 39.5% owned copper smelter and refinery in Gresik, Indonesia) from a concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement beginning on January 1, 2023. As a result of the arrangement, a portion of PT-FI’s first-quarter 2023 production was deferred in inventory and will be sold as refined metal in future periods.

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

NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES

FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate was ~~30 percent~~32% for first-quarter ~~2022~~2023 and ~~32 percent~~30% for first-quarter ~~2021.~~2022. Variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income result in fluctuations to FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate. Because of its U.S. tax position, FCX does not record a financial statement impact for income or losses generated in the U.S.

In August 2022, the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (Act) was signed into law, which includes, among other provisions, a new Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) of 15% on the adjusted financial statement income (AFSI) of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1.0 billion over a three-year period. The provisions of the Act became applicable to FCX on January 1, 2023. As limited guidance related to how the CAMT provisions of the Act should be applied or otherwise administered has been released by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury), uncertainty remains regarding the application of the CAMT. FCX has made interpretations of certain provisions of the Act, and based on these interpretations, determined that the provisions of the Act did not impact FCX’s first-quarter 2023 financial results. However, future guidance released by the Treasury may differ from FCX’s interpretations, which could be material and could further limit FCX’s ability to realize future benefits from its U.S. net operating losses.

Interest Expense, Net. Consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) totaled $207 million in first-quarter 2023 and $153 million in first-quarter 2022. The increase in consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) is primarily related to interest associated with PT-FI’s $3.0 billion of senior notes that were issued in April 2022 and ~~$160~~a charge of $25 million related to contested tax matters in ~~first-quarter 2021.~~ Peru.

Capitalized interest added to property, plant, equipment and mine development costs, net, totaled $56 million in first-quarter 2023 and $26 million in first-quarter ~~2022 and $15 million in first-quarter 2021.~~2022. The increase in capitalized interest costs ~~for the 2022 period~~ resulted from increased construction and development projects in ~~process.~~process, primarily at the Manyar smelter and precious metals refinery in Indonesia (collectively, the Indonesia smelter projects).

Share Repurchase ~~Program.~~Program and Dividends. ~~In first-quarter 2022,~~Since mid-2021, FCX has acquired ~~12.3~~47.8 million shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program for a total cost of ~~$541 million~~$1.8 billion ($~~44.02~~38.35 average cost per share)~~.

NOTE 6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

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

~~Table of Contents~~

A discussion of FCX’s other derivative contracts and programs ~~follows:~~follows.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments –- Fair Value Hedges

Copper Futures and Swap Contracts. Some of FCX’s U.S. copper rod and cathode customers request a fixed market price instead of the Commodity Exchange Inc. (COMEX) average copper price in the month of shipment. FCX hedges this price exposure in a manner that allows it to receive the COMEX average price in the month of shipment while the customers pay the fixed price they requested. FCX accomplishes this by entering into copper futures or swap contracts. Hedging gains or losses from these copper futures and swap contracts are recorded in revenues. FCX did not have any significant gains or losses resulting from hedge ineffectiveness during the three-month periods ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021.~~2022. At March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, FCX held copper futures and swap contracts that qualified for hedge accounting for 8496 million pounds at an average contract price of ~~$4.47~~$3.94 per pound, with maturities through ~~February~~December 2024.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

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

Copper Forward Contracts. Atlantic Copper, FCX’s wholly owned smelting and refining unit in Spain, enters into copper forward contracts designed to hedge its copper price risk whenever its physical purchases and sales pricing periods do not match. These economic hedge transactions are intended to hedge against changes in copper prices, with the mark-to-market hedging gains or losses recorded in production and delivery costs. At March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, Atlantic Copper held net copper forward ~~purchase~~sales contracts for 412 million pounds at an average contract price of ~~$4.60~~$4.01 per pound, with maturities through May ~~2022.~~2023.

Credit Risk. FCX is exposed to credit loss when financial institutions with which it has entered into derivative transactions (commodity, foreign exchange and interest rate swaps) are unable to pay. To minimize the risk of such losses, FCX uses counterparties that meet certain credit requirements and periodically reviews the creditworthiness of these counterparties. As of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the maximum amount of credit exposure associated with derivative transactions was ~~$195~~$134 million.

Other Financial Instruments. Other financial instruments include cash, ~~and~~ cash equivalents, restricted cash ~~restricted~~and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investment securities, legally restricted ~~funds,~~trust assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued income taxes, dividends payable and debt. The carrying value for these financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities approximates fair value because of their short-term nature and generally negligible credit ~~losses. Refer~~losses (refer to Note 7 for the fair values of investment securities, legally restricted funds and ~~debt.~~debt).

In addition, as of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, FCX has contingent consideration assets related to the sales of certain oil and gas properties (refer to Note 7 for the related fair values).

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value accounting guidance includes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). FCX did not have any significant transfers in or out of Level 3 during first-quarter ~~2022.~~2023.

FCX’s financial instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value except for contingent consideration associated with the sale of the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GOM) oil and gas properties (which was recorded under the loss recovery approach) and debt. A summary of the carrying amount and fair value of FCX’s financial instruments (including those measured at net asset value (NAV) as a practical expedient), other than cash, ~~and~~ cash equivalents, restricted cash ~~restricted~~and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued income taxes and dividends payable (refer to Note 6) follows (in millions):

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

Valuation Techniques. ~~Equity securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded and, as such, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.~~

The U.S. core fixed income fund is valued at NAV. The fund strategy seeks total return consisting of income and capital appreciation primarily by investing in a broad range of investment-grade debt securities, including U.S. government obligations, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and money market instruments. There are no restrictions on redemptions (which are usually within one business day of notice).

Equity securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded and, as such, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fixed income securities (government securities, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and collateralized mortgage-backed ~~securities and municipal bonds)~~securities) are valued using a bid-evaluation price or a mid-evaluation price. These evaluations are based on quoted prices, if available, or models that use observable inputs and, as such, are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents

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

~~Table of Contents~~

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

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

In December 2016, FCX’s sale of its Deepwater GOM oil and gas properties included up to $150 million in contingent consideration that was recorded at the total amount under the loss recovery approach. The contingent consideration is being received over time as cash flows are realized from a third-party production handling agreement for an offshore platform, with the related payments commencing in third-quarter 2018. The contingent consideration included in (i) other current assets totaled ~~$20~~$17 million at March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, and $20 million at December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, and (ii) other assets totaled ~~$64~~$46 million at March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, and ~~$70~~$47 million at December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. The fair value of this contingent consideration was calculated based on a discounted cash flow model using inputs that include third-party estimates for reserves, production rates and production timing, and discount rates. Because significant inputs are not observable in the market, the contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

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

The techniques described above may produce a fair value that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while FCX believes its valuation techniques are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different techniques or assumptions to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the techniques used at March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, as compared with those techniques used at December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

A summary of the changes in the fair value of FCX’s Level 3 instrument, contingent consideration for the sale of the Deepwater GOM oil and gas properties, during the first three months of ~~2022~~2023 follows (in millions):



Fair value at January 1, ~~2022~~2023	$	8157
Net unrealized ~~loss~~gain related to assets still held at the end of the period	~~(1)~~1

NOTE 8. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

~~Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO)~~

~~Arizona Environmental and Reclamation Programs.~~FCX’s Arizona operations are subject to regulatory oversight by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). ADEQ has adopted regulations for its aquifer protection permit (APP) program that require permits for, among other things, certain facilities, activities and structures used for mining, leaching, concentrating and smelting, and require compliance with aquifer water quality standards during operations and closure. An application for an APP requires a proposed closure strategy that will meet applicable groundwater protection requirements following cessation of operations and an estimate of the implementation cost, with a more detailed closure plan required at the time operations cease. A permit applicant must demonstrate its financial ability to meet the closure costs approved by ADEQ. Closure costs for facilities covered by APPs are required to be updated every six years and financial assurance mechanisms are required to be updated every two years. During first-quarter 2022, Bagdad increased its ARO liability and asset retirement cost asset by $45 million associated with an updated closure strategy that Bagdad submitted to ADEQ for approval. Morenci is also preparing an update to its closure strategy for submission to ADEQ, which is expected to result in increased costs that could be significant. FCX will continue updating its closure strategy and closure cost estimates at other Arizona sites, and any such updates may also result in increased costs that could be significant.

Litigation

There were no significant updates to previously reported legal proceedings included in Note 12 of FCX’s ~~2021~~2022 Form ~~10-K.~~10-K, other than the matter discussed below.

Louisiana Parishes Coastal Erosion Cases. Certain FCX affiliates were named as defendants, along with numerous co-defendants, in 13 cases out of a total of 42 cases filed in Louisiana state courts by 6 south Louisiana parishes (Cameron, Jefferson, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. John the Baptist and Vermilion), alleging that certain oil and gas exploration and production operations and sulfur mining and production operations in coastal Louisiana contaminated and damaged coastal wetlands and caused significant land loss along the Louisiana coast. In 2019, affiliates of FCX reached an agreement in principle to settle all 13 cases and, as of October 2022, all parties have executed the settlement agreement. On March 16, 2023, a non-plaintiff coastal parish included in the settlement (Terrebonne), filed an amended petition titled Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government vs. Louisiana

Table of Contents

Department of Natural Resources et al., Docket No. 185576, in the 32nd Judicial District Court, Terrebonne Parish, State of Louisiana, adding the settling FCX affiliates to a lawsuit that challenges whether Terrebonne Parish is validly bound to the settlement agreement and seeks to have the court declare the settlement void. FCX is evaluating and exploring options to resolve this dispute and will vigorously defend this matter.

Other Matters

Smelter Development Progress. ~~On January 7, 2021,~~As disclosed in Note 12 of FCX’s 2022 Form 10-K, in March 2022, PT-FI paid the Indonesia government ~~levied~~ an administrative fine ~~of $149~~totaling $57 million ~~for the period from March 30, 2020, through September 30, 2020, on PT-FI for failing~~related to achieve physical development progress on its greenfield smelter as of July 31, 2020. On January 13, 2021, PT-FI responded to the Indonesia government objecting to the fine because of events outside of its control causing a delay of the greenfield smelter’s development progress. PT-FI believes that its communications during 2020 with the Indonesia government were not properly considered before the administrative fine was levied.

~~In June 2021, the Indonesia government issued a ministerial decree for the calculation of an administrative fine for~~ lack of smelter development in light of the COVID-19 ~~pandemic. During 2021, PT-FI recorded~~pandemic (first-quarter 2022 included charges totaling $16 million for a potential settlement of the administrative fine. On January 25, 2022, the Indonesia government submitted a new estimate of the administrative fine totaling $57 million. In March 2022, PT-FI paid the administrative fine and recorded a charge of $41 million ~~in first-quarter 2022.~~associated with the administrative fine). Based on PT-FI’s revised smelter construction schedule, PT-FI does not believe any additional fines should be applied and will dispute any attempts by the Indonesia government to levy additional fines, which could be significant.

PT-FI Export License. ~~Export~~Indonesia regulations require PT-FI and PT Smelting to renew their export licenses ~~are valid for a one-year period,~~annually, subject to review ~~and approval~~ by the Indonesia government every six months, depending on smelter construction progress. In March ~~2022,~~2023, PT-FI ~~obtained a one-year~~received an extension of its ~~concentrate~~ export license through June 10, 2023. PT-FI's special mining license provides that exports may continue through 2023, subject to force majeure considerations. PT-FI is working with the Indonesia government to obtain approval to continue exports as required for PT-FI’s operations until the Indonesia smelter projects are fully commissioned and reach designed operating conditions.

PT-FI Export Duties. In late 2022, PT-FI’s export duty rate declined from 5% to 2.5% as a result of smelter development progress. In March ~~19,~~ 2023, ~~for 2000000 metric tons of concentrate,~~ the ~~approval of which was based~~Indonesia government verified that construction progress on the Manyar smelter exceeded 50%, allowing PT-FI’s ~~revised smelter construction schedule as modified~~export duties to ~~reflect impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.~~be eliminated effective March 29, 2023.

NOTE 9. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

FCX has organized its mining operations into 4four primary divisions –- North America copper mines, South America mining, Indonesia mining and Molybdenum mines, – and operating segments that meet certain thresholds are reportable segments. Separately disclosed in the following tables are FCX’s reportable segments, which include the Morenci and Cerro Verde copper mines, the Grasberg minerals district (Indonesia Mining), the Rod & Refining operations and Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining.

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

FCX defers recognizing profits on sales from its mines to other segments, including Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining and, through December 31, 2022, on ~~39.5 percent~~39.5% of PT-FI’s sales to PT Smelting, until final sales to third parties occur. Quarterly variations in ore grades, the timing of intercompany shipments and changes in product prices result in variability in FCX’s net deferred profits and quarterly earnings.

Beginning January 1, 2023, PT-FI's commercial arrangement with PT Smelting converted from a concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement. Under this arrangement, PT-FI pays PT Smelting a tolling fee to smelt and refine its concentrate and PT-FI retains title to all products for sale to third parties (i.e., there are no further sales from PT-FI to PT Smelting). While the new tolling agreement with PT Smelting does not significantly change PT-FI’s economics, it impacted the timing of PT-FI’s first-quarter 2023 sales and working capital requirements, as a portion of PT-FI’s first-quarter 2023 production was deferred in inventory and will be sold as refined metal in future periods.

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

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (the Company) as of March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the related consolidated statements of ~~operations,~~income, comprehensive income, ~~(loss),~~ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 15, ~~2022,~~2023, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

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

You should read this discussion in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, the related MD&A and the discussion of our Business and Properties in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021 (2021~~2022 (2022 Form 10-K), filed with the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The results of operations reported and summarized below are not necessarily indicative of future operating results (refer to “Cautionary Statement” for further discussion). References to “Notes” are Notes included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited). Throughout MD&A, all references to income or losses per share are on a diluted basis.

OVERVIEW

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

~~Our results~~We faced a number of operational challenges in first-quarter 2023, including a significant weather event in Indonesia, civil unrest in Peru and productivity challenges in the U.S. In addition, beginning January 1, 2023, PT Freeport Indonesia’s (PT-FI) commercial arrangement with PT Smelting (PT-FI’s 39.5% owned copper smelter and refinery in Gresik, Indonesia) converted from a concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement, which resulted in a deferral of sales to future periods. As a result of the transition, approximately 110 million pounds of copper and 110 thousand ounces of gold from PT-FI’s first-quarter 2023 production is deferred in inventory and will be sold in future periods. We currently expect increasing sales volumes for ~~first-quarter 2022 reflect~~the remainder of 2023.

We believe we have a strong ~~operating~~balance sheet and ~~financial performance,~~a favorable outlook for cash flow generation to support continued organic growth and cash returns to shareholders. ~~We remain focused on cost and capital management~~Our organic growth pipeline is highlighted by our leach innovation initiatives, which are gaining momentum and are ~~advancing our sustainability objectives. We achieved a 24 percent increase in copper sales and a 59 percent increase in gold sales, compared~~targeted to ~~first-quarter 2021. We plan to continue to execute our operating plans, which we expect will provide strong cash flows to support advancement~~achieve an annual run rate of ~~organic growth initiatives and continued cash returns to shareholders under our established financial policy, based on a favorable operational and market outlook.~~

~~As further discussed in “Operations,” first-quarter 2022 highlights include:~~

•~~Continued growth in operating rates at Lone Star toward achieving production of 300~~approximately 200 million pounds of copper per year ~~from oxide ores (compared with~~by the ~~initial design capacity~~end of ~~200 million pounds per year).~~2023.

•~~Strong performance from Cerro Verde's concentrator facilities, with milling rates averaging 394,400 metric tons of ore per day. Subject~~Refer to ~~ongoing monitoring of COVID-19 protocols, milling rates are currently expected to average approximately 400,000 metric tons of ore per day~~“Operations” for ~~the remainder of 2022.~~

•Increased milling rates from the underground mines at the Grasberg minerals district, which averaged 186,500 metric tons of ore per day, a 50 percent increase from milling rates in first-quarter 2021. Milling rates at the Grasberg minerals district are expected to average approximately 180,000 to 190,000 metric tons of ore per day for the remainder of 2022.further discussion.

Net income attributable to common ~~stock~~stockholders totaled $663 million in first-quarter 2023, compared with $1.5 billion in first-quarter 2022, ~~compared with $0.7 billion in first-quarter 2021,~~ primarily reflecting ~~higher~~lower copper and gold sales volumes, ~~and prices, partly offset by~~ a ~~higher provision~~lower average realized price for ~~income taxes~~copper and increased ~~energy~~costs for maintenance and ~~other input costs.~~supplies and energy. Refer to “Consolidated Results” for further ~~discussion.~~discussion of these impacts, and for discussion of the change in our economic interest in PT-FI beginning January 1, 2023.

At March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, we had consolidated debt of $9.6 billion and consolidated cash and cash equivalents of ~~$8.3~~$6.9 billion, resulting in net debt of ~~$1.3~~$2.8 billion ~~(including $0.6~~($1.3 billion ofexcluding net debt for the Manyar smelter and precious metals refinery (PMR) in Indonesia - collectively, the Indonesia smelter projects). In March 2023, we used approximately $1 billion of cash to fund the maturity of our 3.875% Senior Notes. Refer to “Net Debt” for reconciliations of consolidated debt and consolidated cash and cash equivalents to net debt.

At March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, we had ~~no borrowings and $3.5~~$3.0 billion ~~available~~of availability under our revolving credit ~~facility. At March 31, 2022, we~~facility, and PT-FI and Cerro Verde had ~~$1.4~~$1.3 billion and $350 million, respectively, of ~~current debt, including $995 million of senior notes maturing in March 2023 (with redemption rights at par in December 2022) and $325 million~~availability under ~~Cerro Verde’s Term Loan maturing in June 2022.~~

In April 2022, PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI) completed the sale of $3.0 billion of senior notes primarily in connection with its financing plans for construction of additional domestic smelting capacity.

In first-quarter 2022, we acquired 12.3 million shares of our common stock under the share repurchase program for a total cost of $541 million ($44.02 average cost per share). Through May 5, 2022, we acquired 28.7 million shares

OUTLOOK

~~We continue to view the long-term outlook for~~As further discussed in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. of our ~~business positively, supported by limitations on supplies of copper and the requirements for copper in the world’s economy. Our~~2022 Form 10-K, our financial results vary as a result of fluctuations in market prices primarily for copper, gold and, to a lesser extent, molybdenum, as well as other factors. World market prices for these commodities have fluctuated historically and are affected by numerous factors

beyond our control. Our projected 2023 financial results are also dependent on an extension of PT-FI's export license after June 10, 2023. Refer to “Markets” below ~~and “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. of our 2021 Form 10-K~~ for further discussion. Because we cannot control the prices of our products, the key measures that management focuses on in operating our business are sales volumes, unit net cash costs, operating cash flows and capital expenditures.

Consolidated Sales Volumes

Following are our projected consolidated sales volumes for the year ~~2022:~~2023:

Copper (millions of recoverable pounds):

North America copper mines

~~1,536~~1,382

South America mining

~~1,154~~1,222

Indonesia mining

~~1,564~~1,453

Total

~~4,254~~4,057

Gold (millions of recoverable ounces)

~~1.6~~1.8

Molybdenum (millions of recoverable pounds)

8079

a.Projected molybdenum sales include ~~30 million pounds produced by our Molybdenum mines and~~ 50 million pounds produced by our North America and South America copper mines and 29 million pounds produced by our Molybdenum mines.

Consolidated sales volumes in second-quarter ~~2022~~2023 are expected to approximate ~~1.0~~1.1 billion pounds of copper, ~~405~~500 thousand ounces of gold and 2120 million pounds of molybdenum. Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance, weather-related conditions, timing of shipments, and other factors, including the extension of PT-FI's export license after June 10, 2023, detailed in the “Cautionary Statement” below.

For other important factors that could cause results to differ materially from projections, refer to “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A. of our ~~2021~~2022 Form 10-K.

Consolidated Unit Net Cash Costs

Assuming average prices of ~~$1,950~~$2,000 per ounce of gold and ~~$19.00~~$18.00 per pound of molybdenum for the remainder of ~~2022~~2023 and achievement of current ~~sales~~ volume and cost estimates, consolidated unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for our copper mines are expected to average ~~$1.44~~$1.55 per pound of copper for the year ~~2022~~2023 (including ~~$1.41~~$1.51 per pound of copper in second-quarter ~~2022)~~2023). The increase from the January 2022 estimate of $1.35 per pound of copper primarily reflects higher costs of energy and other consumables and currency exchange rates in South America, partly offset by higher gold volumes and commodity price assumptions. We are experiencing significant cost inflation, principally associated with energy (which represents about 20 percent of our site operating costs) and other consumables such as sulfuric acid, explosives and steel. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has placed additional pressure on an already challenging global supply chain environment. The impact of price changes during the remainder of ~~2022~~2023 on consolidated unit net cash costs for the year ~~2022~~2023 would approximate ~~$0.03~~$0.04 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $0.02 per pound of copper for each $2.00 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum. Quarterly unit net cash costs also vary with fluctuations in ~~sales~~other volumes and realized prices, ~~primarily~~such as those for gold and molybdenum.

~~Table of Contents~~

Consolidated Operating Cash Flows

Our consolidated operating cash flows vary with sales volumes; prices realized from copper, gold and molybdenum sales; production costs; income taxes; other working capital changes; and other factors. Based on current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming average prices of ~~$4.75~~$4.00 per pound for copper, ~~$1,950~~$2,000 per ounce for gold, and ~~$19.00~~$18.00 per pound for molybdenum for the remainder of ~~2022,~~2023, our consolidated operating cash flows are estimated to approximate ~~$8.6~~$7.0 billion ~~(net of $0.9~~(including $0.3 billion of working capital and other ~~uses)~~sources) for the year ~~2022.~~2023. Estimated consolidated operating cash flows for the year ~~2022~~2023 also reflect an estimated income tax provision of ~~$3.4~~$2.6 billion (refer to “Consolidated Results – Income Taxes” for further discussion of our projected income tax rate for the year ~~2022)~~2023). The impact of price changes for the remainder of ~~2022~~2023 on operating cash flows would approximate ~~$300~~$315 million for each $0.10 per pound change in the average price of copper, ~~$80~~$140 million for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and ~~$75~~$90 million for each $2.00 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.

Consolidated Capital Expenditures

~~Consolidated capital~~Capital expenditures ~~for the year 2022~~ are expected to approximate ~~$4.6~~$5.1 billion ~~($3.2 billion excluding capital expenditures~~ for the ~~greenfield smelter and precious metals refinery (PMR) - collectively, the Indonesia smelter projects), and include $1.9~~year 2023 (including $2.4 billion for major mining projects ~~($1.3~~and $1.6 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects). Projected capital expenditures for major mining projects include $1.3 billion for planned projects, primarily associated with underground mine development in the Grasberg minerals district and supporting mill and power capital costs, and ~~$0.6~~$1.1 billion for discretionary growth ~~projects).~~projects, primarily for development of Kucing Liar, a mill recovery project with the installation of a new copper cleaner circuit at PT-FI, and expansion projects at Bagdad and Lone Star.

MARKETS

World prices for copper, gold and molybdenum can fluctuate significantly. During the period from January ~~2012~~2013 through March ~~2022,~~2023, the London Metal Exchange (LME) copper settlement price varied from a low of $1.96 per pound in 2016 to a record high of $4.87 per pound in 2022; the London Bullion Market Association (London) PM gold price fluctuated from a low of $1,049 per ounce in 2015 to a record high of $2,067 per ounce in 2020; and the Platts Metals ~~Week~~Daily Molybdenum Dealer Oxide weekly average price ranged from a low of $4.46 per pound in 2015 to a high of ~~$20.01~~$37.42 per pound in ~~2021.~~2023. Copper, gold and molybdenum prices are affected by numerous factors beyond our control as described further in “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A. of our ~~2021~~2022 Form 10-K.

This graph presents LME copper settlement prices and the combined reported stocks of copper at the LME, Commodity Exchange Inc., and the Shanghai Futures Exchange from January ~~2012~~2013 through March ~~2022.~~2023.

a.Beginning on January 1, 2023, PT-FI’s commercial arrangement with PT Smelting converted from a concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement, which resulted in a change in timing of sales. As a result of the transition, approximately 110 million pounds of copper and 110 thousand ounces of gold from PT-FI's first-quarter 2023 production is deferred in inventory and will be sold in future periods.

Revenues

Consolidated revenues totaled $5.4 billion in first-quarter 2023 and $6.6 billion in first-quarter ~~2022 and $4.9 billion in first-quarter 2021.~~2022. Revenues from our mining operations and processing facilities primarily include the sale of copper concentrate, copper cathode, copper rod, gold in concentrate and molybdenum. Refer to Note 9 for a summary of product revenues.

Sales Volumes. Consolidated copper and gold sales volumes ~~increased~~decreased in first-quarter ~~2022,~~2023, compared with first-quarter ~~2021,~~2022, primarily ~~reflecting~~as a result of the ~~ramp-up~~deferral of ~~underground mining at PT-FI~~sales recognition related to the PT Smelting tolling arrangement and the timing of ~~shipments in North America. Refer to “Operations” for further discussion of sales volumes~~shipments. In addition, PT-FI experienced lower operating rates at ~~our mining operations.~~the Grasberg minerals district associated with a significant weather event that temporarily disrupted operations during February 2023.

Realized Prices. Our consolidated revenues can vary significantly as a result of fluctuations in the market prices of copper, gold and molybdenum. Average realized prices in first-quarter ~~2022,~~2023, compared with first-quarter ~~2021,~~2022, were ~~18 percent higher~~12% lower for copper, ~~12 percent~~2% higher for gold and ~~66 percent~~57% higher for molybdenum.

Average realized copper prices include net favorable adjustments to current period provisionally priced copper sales (~~i.e., provisionally priced sales at March 31, 2022~~totaling $21 million in first-quarter 2023 and ~~2021) totaling~~ $116 million in first-quarter ~~2022 and $61 million in first-quarter 2021.~~2022. As discussed in Note 6, ~~substantially~~ all of our copper concentrate and some cathode sales contracts provide final copper pricing in a specified future month (generally one to four months from the shipment date) based primarily on quoted LME monthly average copper prices. We record revenues and invoice customers at the time of shipment based on then-current LME prices, which results in an embedded derivative on provisionally priced concentrate and cathode sales that is adjusted to fair value through earnings each period, using the period-end forward prices, until final pricing on the date of settlement. To the extent final prices are higher or lower than what was recorded on a provisional basis, an increase or decrease to revenues is recorded each reporting period until the date of final pricing. Accordingly, in times of rising copper prices, our revenues benefit from adjustments to the final pricing of provisionally priced sales pursuant to contracts entered into in prior periods; in times of falling copper prices, the opposite occurs.

Prior Period Provisionally Priced Copper Sales. Net favorable adjustments to prior periods’ provisionally priced copper sales (i.e., provisionally priced sales at December 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020)~~2021) recorded in consolidated revenues totaled $210 million in first-quarter 2023 and $102 million in first-quarter ~~2022 and $146 million in first-quarter 2021.~~2022. Refer to Notes 6 and 9 for a summary of total adjustments to prior period and current period provisionally priced sales.

Table of Contents

At March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, we had provisionally priced copper sales totaling ~~473~~262 million pounds of copper (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average of ~~$4.71~~$4.08 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. We estimate that each $0.05 change in the price realized from the March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, provisional price recorded would have an approximate ~~$15~~$8 million effect on our ~~2022~~2023 net income attributable to common stock. ~~Copper prices have declined from March 31, 2022, the~~The LME copper ~~settlement~~ price ~~averaged $4.62 per pound in April 2022 and approximated $4.30~~settled at $3.89 per pound on ~~May 4, 2022.~~April 28, 2023.

~~Table~~Beginning January 1, 2023, PT-FI’s commercial arrangement with PT Smelting converted from a concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement. Under this arrangement PT-FI pays PT Smelting a tolling fee to smelt and refine its concentrate and PT-FI retains title to all products for sale to third parties (i.e., there are no further sales to PT Smelting). PT-FI’s sale of ~~Contents~~copper cathodes under the tolling arrangement are priced in the month of shipment and are not subject to provisional pricing.

Atlantic Copper Revenues. Atlantic Copper revenues totaled $756 million in first-quarter 2023, compared with $718 million in first-quarter ~~2022, compared with $687 million in first-quarter 2021.~~2022. Higher revenues in first-quarter ~~2022,~~2023, compared with first-quarter ~~2021,~~2022, primarily ~~reflect~~reflects higher ~~copper prices.~~sales volumes.

Purchased Copper. We purchase copper cathode primarily for processing by our Rod & Refining operations. The volumes of copper purchases vary depending on cathode production from our operations and totaled 48 million pounds in first-quarter 2023 and 15 million pounds in first-quarter ~~2022 and 53 million pounds in first-quarter 2021.~~2022.

Treatment Charges. Revenues from our concentrate sales are recorded net of treatment charges (i.e., fees paid to smelters that are generally negotiated annually), which will vary with the sales volumes and the price of copper. The decrease in the treatment charges in first-quarter 2023 compared to first-quarter 2022 primarily reflects lower sales volumes and PT-FI’s commercial arrangement with PT Smelting converting from a concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement. Costs incurred under the tolling arrangement are recorded as production costs in the consolidated statements of income (refer to Note 9).

Royalties and Export Duties. Royalties are primarily onassociated with PT-FI sales and vary with the volume of metal sold and the prices of copper and gold. ~~PT-FI currently pays duties on concentrate exports~~In late 2022, the export duty rate declined from 5% to 2.5% as a result of ~~5 percent, declining to 2.5 percent when~~smelter development ~~progress for additional smelting capacity in~~progress. In March 2023, the Indonesia exceeds 30 percent, and eliminated when development progress for additional smelting capacity in Indonesia exceeds 50 percent.

Lower royalties and export duties during first-quarter 2023, compared with first-quarter 2022, reflect lower PT-FI copper and gold sales volumes and copper prices as well as a lower export duty rate of 2.5% in first-quarter 2023, compared to 5% in first-quarter 2022.

Production and Delivery Costs

Consolidated production and delivery costs totaled $3.2 billion in both first-quarter 2023 and 2022, ~~and $2.8 billion in first-quarter 2021. Higher consolidated production and delivery~~reflecting increased costs ~~in first-quarter 2022 primarily reflect higher volumes and increased~~for energy (which represents approximately 21% of our site operating costs), unplanned maintenance and ~~other~~inflationary cost pressures on input ~~costs.~~costs, mostly offset by lower sales volumes.

Site Production and Delivery Costs Per Pound. Site production and delivery costs for our copper mining operations primarily include labor, energy and other commodity-based inputs, such as ~~sulphuric~~sulfuric acid, explosives, steel, reagents, liners ~~tires~~ and ~~explosives.~~tires. Consolidated site production and delivery costs (before net noncash and other costs) for our copper mines averaged $2.57 per pound of copper in first-quarter 2023 and $2.03 per pound of copper in first-quarter ~~2022 and $1.86 per pound of copper in first-quarter 2021.~~2022.

Higher consolidated site production and delivery costs per pound of copper for first-quarter ~~2022,~~2023, compared with first-quarter ~~2021,~~2022, primarily reflect higher ~~mining and milling costs~~energy prices and increased ~~energy~~costs for consumables such as sulfuric acid, explosives, key equipment parts and other ~~input costs, partly offset by higher sales volumes.~~supplies and services. Refer to “Operations – Unit Net Cash Costs” for further discussion of unit net cash costs associated with our operating divisions and to “Product Revenues and Production Costs” for reconciliations of per pound costs by operating division to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in our consolidated financial statements.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Depreciation will vary under the unit-of-production (UOP) method as a result of changes in sales volumes and the related UOP rates at our mining operations. ~~Consolidated~~Lower consolidated depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) ~~totaled~~of $399 million in first-quarter 2023, compared to $489 million in first-quarter 2022, primarily reflects lower sales volumes from PT-FI.

Table of Contents

Environmental Obligations and ~~$419~~Shutdown Costs

Environmental obligation costs reflect net revisions to our long-term environmental obligations, which vary from period to period because of changes to environmental laws and regulations, the settlement of environmental matters and/or circumstances affecting our operations that could result in significant changes in our estimates. Shutdown costs include care-and-maintenance costs and any litigation, remediation or related expenditures associated with closed facilities or operations. Higher net charges for environmental obligations and shutdown costs in first-quarter 2023, compared to first-quarter 2022, primarily reflect net revisions to long-term historical environmental obligations totaling $56 million in first-quarter ~~2021. Higher DD&A in first-quarter 2022 primarily reflects higher sales volumes and assets placed in service associated with the ramp-up of underground mining at PT-FI.~~2023.

Interest Expense, Net

Consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) totaled $207 million in first-quarter 2023 and $153 million in first-quarter 2022. The increase in consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) for the 2023 period, compared to the 2022 period, is primarily related to interest associated with PT-FI’s $3.0 billion of senior notes that were issued in April 2022 and ~~$160~~a charge of $25 million related to contested tax matters in ~~first-quarter 2021.~~Peru.

Capitalized interest varies with the level of qualifying assets associated with our development projects and average interest rates on our borrowings. Capitalized interest totaled $56 million in first-quarter 2023 and $26 million in first-quarter ~~2022 and $15 million in first-quarter 2021.~~2022. The increase in capitalized interest ~~in first-quarter 2022, compared with first-quarter 2021, is related to major mining projects primarily associated with underground development activities in~~costs for the ~~Grasberg minerals district~~2023 period resulted from increased construction and development ~~of the greenfield~~projects in process, primarily at our Indonesia smelter ~~in Indonesia.~~projects. Refer to “Capital Resources and Liquidity -– Investing Activities” for discussion of capital expenditures associated with our major development projects.

Other income, Net

Other income, net totaled $88 million in first-quarter 2023 and $31 million in first-quarter 2022. The increase in other income, net for the 2023 period, compared to the 2022 period, is primarily related to higher interest income.

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

In August 2022, the Act was signed into law, which includes, among other provisions, a new Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) of 15% on the adjusted financial statement income (AFSI) of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1.0 billion over a three-year period. The provisions of the Act became applicable to us on January 1, 2023. As limited guidance related to how the CAMT provisions of the Act should be applied or otherwise administered has been released by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury), uncertainty remains regarding the application of the CAMT. We have made interpretations of certain provisions of the Act, and based on these interpretations, determined that the provisions of the Act did not impact our first-quarter 2023 financial results. However, future guidance released by the Treasury may differ from our interpretations, which could be material and may further limit our ability to realize future benefits from our U.S. NOLs.

Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and average prices of ~~$4.75~~$4.00 per pound for copper, ~~$1,950~~$2,000 per ounce for gold and ~~$19.00~~$18.00 per pound for molybdenum for the remainder of ~~2022,~~2023, we estimate our consolidated effective tax rate for the year ~~2022~~2023 would approximate ~~31 percent.~~34%. Changes in projected sales volumes and average prices during ~~2022~~2023 would incur tax impacts at estimated effective rates of ~~40 percent~~40% for Peru, ~~38 percent~~36% for Indonesia and ~~0 percent~~0% for the U.S., which excludes any impact from the Act. Our projected estimated effective tax rate of 0% for the U.S. for the year 2023 may be adjusted as additional guidance is released by the Treasury on key provisions of the Act, including guidance on the CAMT.

Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is primarily associated with PT-FI, Cerro Verde and El Abra and totaled $386 million in first-quarter 2023 (which represented 25% of our consolidated income before income taxes) and $377 million in first-quarter 2022 (which represented 14% of our consolidated income before income taxes). Beginning January 1, 2023, our economic and equity ownership interest in PT-FI is 48.76%. Prior to January 1, 2023, our economic interest in PT-FI approximated 81%. As discussed in Note 3 of our 2022 Form 10-K, in accordance with provisions pertaining to PT-FI’s shareholders agreement, our first-quarter 2023 net income included a $35 million net benefit associated with PT-FI sales volumes that were attributed to us at our previous approximate 81% economic ownership interest. Based on current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming average prices of $4.00 per pound of copper, $2,000 per ounce of gold and $18.00 per pound of molybdenum and taking into account the change in our economic interest in PT-FI, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is estimated to approximate $2.2 billion for the year 2023 (which would represent 30% of our consolidated income before income taxes). The actual amount will depend on many factors, including relative performance of each business segment, commodity prices, costs and other factors.

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

North America Copper Mines

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

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

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

South America Mining

We operate two copper mines in South America – Cerro Verde in Peru (in which we own a ~~53.56 percent~~53.56% interest) and El Abra in Chile (in which we own a ~~51 percent~~51% interest), which are consolidated in our financial statements.

South America mining includes open-pit mining, sulfide-ore concentrating, leaching and SX/EW operations. Production from our South America mines is sold as copper concentrate or cathode under long-term contracts. Our South America mines also sell a portion of their copper concentrate production to Atlantic Copper. In addition to copper, the Cerro Verde mine produces molybdenum concentrate and silver.

Operating and Development Activities. During first-quarter 2022, milling rates at Cerro Verde's concentrator facilities averaged 394,400 metric tons of ore per day. Subject to ongoing monitoring of COVID-19 protocols, milling rates at Cerro Verde are currently expected to average approximately 400,000 metric tons of ore per day for the remainder of 2022.

Operating rates at El Abra have returned to pre-COVID-19 levels and increased mining and stacking activities are expected to result in an approximate 30 percent increase in El Abra copper production for the year 2022, compared with the year 2021.

El Abra's large sulfide resource supports a potential major mill project similar to the large-scale concentrator ~~constructed~~ at Cerro ~~Verde in 2015.~~Verde.

Beginning in December 2022 and continuing in first-quarter 2023, heightened tensions, protests and social unrest emerged in Peru following a change in the country's political leadership. Cerro Verde operated at reduced rates from time to time during first-quarter 2023. While demonstrations and road blockages subsided in recent weeks, the potential for civil unrest and disruption of commerce and supply chains continues. Cerro Verde resumed normal operations in March 2023. We continue to monitor the situation with a priority on safety and security.

On February 11, 2023, PT-FI’s operations were temporarily disrupted because of significant rainfall and landslides, which restricted access to infrastructure near its milling operations. After recovery activities and the clearing of debris, PT-FI resumed operations by the end of February 2023 and achieved a full recovery in ~~2021.~~March 2023. PT-FI expects milling rates to average in excess of 200,000 metric tons of ore per day for the remainder of 2023.

Our consolidated sales ~~from PT-FI totaled~~of 198 million pounds of copper and 266 thousand ounces of gold in first-quarter 2023 were lower than first-quarter 2022 consolidated sales of 379 million pounds of copper and 406 thousand ounces of gold, primarily as a result of the timing of sales associated with the transition to a tolling arrangement with PT Smelting in 2023 and the impact of the temporary disruption of operations in February 2023 associated with the significant weather event.

first-quarter 2022, compared with consolidated sales of 258 million pounds of copper and 256 thousand ounces of gold in first-quarter 2021, primarily reflecting the ramp-up of underground mining in the Grasberg minerals district.

Consolidated sales volumes from PT-FI are expected to approximate ~~1.6~~1.5 billion pounds of copper and ~~1.6~~1.8 million ounces of gold for the year ~~2022.~~2023, net of a deferral of approximately 110 million pounds of copper and 140 thousand ounces of gold from mine production under tolling arrangements to be processed and sold as refined metal in future periods.

~~Includes~~

PT-FI's unit net cash credits ~~totaling $0.12~~(including gold and silver credits) of $0.08 per pound of copper ~~associated~~in first-quarter 2023 were in line with adjustments to prior year treatment and refining costs, partly offset by charges totaling $0.05 per pound of copper associated with a potential settlement of an administrative fine levied by the Indonesia government.

~~In first-quarter 2022, PT-FI’s gold and silver credits exceeded its cash costs, resulting in~~ unit net cash credits of $0.06 per pound ~~of copper, compared to unit net cash costs (net of~~in first-quarter 2022, reflecting higher gold and silver ~~credits) of $0.29 per pound in first-quarter 2021, primarily reflecting higher sales volumes, partly~~credits, mostly offset by ~~higher operating rates, energy and other input costs.~~lower volumes.

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

PT-FI’s export duties totaled $17 million in first-quarter 2023 and $79 million in first-quarter 2022, and ~~$29~~PT-FI’s royalties totaled $58 million in first-quarter ~~2021.

Because certain assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, PT-FI’s unit depreciation rate may vary with asset additions and the level of copper production and sales. ~~DD&A per pound of copper under the by-product method was $0.66 per pound in first-quarter 2022, compared with $0.77 per pound in first-quarter 2021.~~ The ~~decrease~~increase in the DD&A rate per pound of copper in first-quarter 2023, compared with first-quarter 2022, primarily reflects ~~depletion of the Deep Ore Zone underground mine~~lower volumes associated with decreased operating rates as discussed above and ~~the ramp-up of underground mining in the Grasberg minerals district, which resulted in significantly higher copper production and sales volumes, partly offset by~~ significant underground development assets being placed into service.

PT Smelting intercompany profit (loss) represents the change in the deferral of 39.5% of PT-FI’s profit on sales to PT Smelting. Beginning on January 1, 2023, PT-FI’s commercial arrangement with PT Smelting converted from a concentrate sales agreement to a tolling arrangement. Under this arrangement, PT-FI pays PT Smelting a tolling fee to smelt and refine its concentrate and PT-FI retains title to all products for sales to third parties. Accordingly, beginning in 2023, there are no further sales to PT Smelting. Refer to “Smelting and Refining” below for further discussion.

Molybdenum Mines

We operate two wholly owned molybdenum mines in Colorado – the ~~Henderson underground~~Climax open-pit mine and the ~~Climax open-pit~~Henderson underground mine. The ~~Henderson~~Climax and ~~Climax~~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 ~~Henderson~~Climax and ~~Climax~~Henderson mines, as well as from our North America and South America copper mines, is processed at our conversion facilities.

Operating and Development Activities. Production from the Molybdenum mines totaled 8 million pounds of molybdenum in first-quarter 2023 and was slightly higher than production of 7 million pounds of molybdenum in ~~both~~ first-quarter 2022, ~~and first-quarter 2021. We plan on increasing mining rates at the Climax mine during 2022 to provide options to increase volumes in response to market demand for molybdenum.~~primarily reflecting higher milling rates. Refer to “Consolidated Results” for our consolidated molybdenum operating data, which includes sales of molybdenum produced at our Molybdenum mines and from our North America and South America copper mines. Refer to “Outlook” for projected consolidated molybdenum sales ~~volumes.~~volumes and to “Markets” for a discussion of the decline in molybdenum prices.

Smelting and Refining

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

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

~~Through this form of downstream integration, we are assured placement of a significant portion of our concentrate production.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

Atlantic Copper smelts and refines copper concentrate and markets refined copper and precious metals in slimes. During first-quarter ~~2022,~~2023, Atlantic Copper’s concentrate purchases included ~~12 percent~~37% from our copper mining operations and ~~88 percent~~63% from third parties.

Atlantic Copper’s major maintenance turnarounds typically occur approximately every eight years, with shorter-term maintenance turnarounds in the interim. In April 2022, Atlantic Copper began an approximately 60-day major maintenance turnaround, for which maintenance charges are expected to total approximately $25 million.

~~PT-FI’s contract~~Beginning on January 1, 2023, PT-FI's commercial arrangement with PT Smelting ~~provides for PT-FI to supply 100 percent of the copper~~converted from a concentrate ~~requirements (subject~~sales agreement to a ~~minimum or maximum treatment charge rate) necessary for~~tolling arrangement. Under this arrangement, PT-FI pays PT Smelting to produce 205,000 metric tons of copper annually on a priority basis. PT-FI may also sell copper concentrate to PT Smelting at market rates for quantities in excess of 205,000 metric tons of copper annually. During first-quarter 2022, PT-FI supplied all of PT Smelting’s concentrate requirements. In November 2021, PT-FI entered into a tolling ~~agreement with PT Smelting that will be effective January 1, 2023, and will replace~~fee (which PT-FI records as production costs in the ~~current concentrate sales agreements between PT-FI and PT Smelting. Under the tolling agreement, PT-FI will pay PT Smelting~~consolidated statements of income) to smelt and refine its concentrate and ~~will retain~~PT-FI retains title to all products for sale to third ~~parties.~~parties (i.e., there are no further sales to PT Smelting). While the new tolling agreement with PT Smelting does not significantly change PT-FI's economics, it impacted the timing of PT-FI's first-quarter 2023 sales and working capital requirements. PT-FI's first-quarter 2023 production exceeded its sales primarily associated with the deferral of mine production under the tolling arrangement that will be processed and sold as refined metal in future periods.

We defer recognizing profits on sales from our mining operations to Atlantic Copper and, through December 31, 2022, on ~~39.5 percent~~39.5% of PT-FI’s sales to PT Smelting ~~(25.0 percent prior to April 30, 2021)~~ 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 $111 million ($48 million to net income attributable to common stock) in first-quarter 2023 and $46 million ($23 million to net income attributable to common stock) in first-quarter ~~2022 and $(85) million ($(63) million to net income attributable to common stock) in first-quarter 2021.~~2022. Our net deferred profits on our inventories at Atlantic Copper ~~and PT Smelting~~ to be recognized in future periods’ net income attributable to common stock totaled ~~$183~~$51 million at March 31, ~~2022.~~2023. Quarterly variations in ore grades, the timing of intercompany shipments and changes in product prices will result in variability in our net deferred profits and quarterly earnings.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Our consolidated operating cash flows vary with sales volumes; prices realized from copper, gold and molybdenum sales; production costs; income taxes; other working capital changes; and other factors. We believe the actions we have taken in recent years to build a strong balance sheet, successfully expand low-cost operations and maintain flexible organic growth options while maintaining sufficient liquidity, will allow us to continue to execute our business plans in a prudent manner during periods of economic uncertainty while preserving substantial future asset values.

The banking industry has experienced disruption in recent months following the failure of certain banks, resulting in increased volatility in the global financial markets. Although these events have not had a financial impact on our business, we continue to monitor the instability in the banking industry, including any impacts on our suppliers and customers.

We ~~generated significant cash flows during first-quarter 2022, reflecting~~closely monitor market conditions and will adjust our operating plans to protect liquidity and preserve our asset values, if necessary. We expect to maintain a strong ~~operating~~balance sheet and ~~financial performance and favorable copper and gold prices. With a favorable market outlook and a~~liquidity position as we focus on building long-term value in our business, executing our operating plans ~~we expect to continue to generate strong cash flows that will support advancement of organic growth initiatives~~safely, responsibly and ~~additional cash returns to shareholders under our established financial policy.~~

~~We believe that we have a high-quality portfolio of long-lived copper assets positioned to generate long-term value. During first-quarter 2022, we continued to increase operating rates at Lone Star~~efficiently, and ~~from the underground mines at the Grasberg minerals district. Pre-production development activities for the Kucing Liar deposit, which commenced during 2021, are progressing~~prudently managing costs and we continue to evaluate organic growth opportunities for expansion of certain of our operations in North America and South America, including at Bagdad, Lone Star and El Abra, the timing of which will be dependent on, among other things, market conditions.capital expenditures.

Based on current sales volume, cost and metal price estimates discussed in “Outlook,” our available cash and cash equivalents plus our projected consolidated operating cash flows of ~~$8.6~~$7.0 billion for the year ~~2022 significantly~~2023 exceed our expected consolidated capital expenditures of ~~$4.6~~$5.1 billion (which includes ~~$1.9 billion for major mining projects and $1.4~~$1.6 billion for the Indonesia smelter ~~projects)~~projects that are being funded with the remaining proceeds from PT-FI’s senior notes and its available credit facility).

We have cash on hand and the financial flexibility to fund capital expenditures and our other cash requirements for the year, including ~~share repurchases,~~ noncontrolling interest distributions, income tax payments, current common stock dividends (base and variable) and any share or debt ~~repayments.~~

~~We believe that our cash generating capability and financial condition, which includes $8.3~~repurchases. At March 31, 2023, we had $6.9 billion of consolidated

PRODUCT REVENUES AND PRODUCTION COSTS

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

We present gross profit per pound of copper in the following tables using both a “by-product” method and a “co-product” method. We use the by-product method in our presentation of gross profit per pound of copper because (i) the majority of our revenues are copper revenues, (ii) we mine ore, which contains copper, gold, molybdenum and other metals, (iii) it is not possible to specifically assign all of our costs to revenues from the copper, gold, molybdenum and other metals we produce and (iv) it is the method used by our management and Board to monitor our mining operations and to compare mining operations in certain industry publications. In the co-product method presentations, shared costs are allocated to the different products based on their relative revenue values, which will vary to the extent our metals sales volumes and realized prices change.

We show revenue adjustments for prior period open sales as a separate line item. Because these adjustments do not result from current period sales, these amounts have been reflected separately from revenues on current period sales. Noncash and other costs, ~~(credits),~~net, which are removed from site production and delivery costs in the calculation of unit net cash costs (credits), consist of items such as stock-based compensation costs, long-lived asset impairments, idle facility costs, feasibility and optimization study costs, restructuring and/or unusual ~~charges (credits).~~charges. As discussed above, gold, molybdenum and other metal revenues at copper mines are reflected as credits against site production and delivery costs in the by-product method. The following schedules are presentations under both the by-product and co-product methods together with reconciliations to amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements.
