Freeport-McMoRan Inc.
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 (GAAP) 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, 2020 (20202021 (2021 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 six-monththree-month period ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.
Trade Accounts Receivable Agreements. In first-quarter 2021, PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI) entered into agreements to sell certain trade accounts receivables to unrelated third-party financial institutions. The agreements were entered into in the normal course of business to fund the working capital for the additional quantity of copper to be supplied by PT-FI to PT Smelting (PT-FI’s 39.5 percent owned copper smelter and refinery in Gresik, Indonesia - see “Acquisition of Minority Interest in PT Smelting” below for further discussion). The balances sold under the agreements were excluded from trade accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2021. Receivables are considered sold when (i) they are transferred beyond the reach of PT-FI and its creditors, (ii) the purchaser has the right to pledge or exchange the receivables, and (iii) PT-FI has no continuing involvement in the transferred receivables. In addition, PT-FI provides no other forms of continued financial support to the purchaser of the receivables once the receivables are sold.
Gross amounts sold under these arrangements totaled $135 million in second-quarter 2021 and $188 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. Discounts on the sold receivables totaled less than $1 million during 2021.
Acquisition of Minority Interest in PT Smelting. On April 30, 2021, PT-FI acquired 14.5 percent of the outstanding common stock of PT Smelting for $33 million, increasing its ownership interest from 25 percent to 39.5 percent. The remaining shares of PT Smelting continue to be owned by Mitsubishi Materials Corporation. PT-FI has continued to account for its investment in PT Smelting using the equity method since it does not have control over PT Smelting.2022.
Subsequent Events. FCX evaluated events after June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, and through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued, and took into accountdetermined any events and transactions occurring during this period requiringthat would require recognition or disclosure are appropriately addressed in these consolidated financial statements.
On July 26, 2021, FCX’s 56-percent-owned subsidiary, Koboltti Chemicals Holdings Limited, entered into an agreement to sell its specialty cobalt business based in Kokkola, Finland (Freeport Cobalt) to Jervois Mining Limited (Jervois) for $85 million (in cash and Jervois shares) plus net working capital, estimated to approximate $125 million at June 30, 2021. In addition, FCX and its noncontrolling interest partners will have the right to receive up to $40 million in contingent cash consideration based on the future performance of the business. FCX currently estimates its share of the proceeds, excluding contingent consideration, would approximate $100 million cash plus its pro rata 56 percent share of 9.9 percent of Jervois shares. The transaction is subject to the completion of Jervois financing and other customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021. FCX expects to record a gain on the transaction.
The operating results of Freeport Cobalt are not significant to FCX’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, or the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021, Freeport Cobalt had total assets of $180 million and total liabilities of $28 million included on FCX's balance sheet. The Freeport Cobalt operations do not represent an operating segment of FCX and did not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale at June 30, 2021.
NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
FCX calculates its basic net income (loss) per share of common stock under the two-class method and calculates its diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock using the more dilutive of the two-class method or the treasury-stock method. Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock was computed by dividing net income (loss) 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 (loss) 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.stock, unless their effect would be antidilutive.
Reconciliations of net income (loss) and weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) per share follow (in millions, except per share amounts):

FCX recorded net favorable adjustments to increase long-term metals inventory carrying values by $139 million in second-quarter 2020, including an increase to long-term copper inventories ($144 million), primarily related to the reversal of net realizable value adjustments recorded on long-term copper inventories in first-quarter 2020 because of higher copper market prices at June 30, 2020, and a decrease to long-term molybdenum inventories ($5 million) because of lower molybdenum market prices at June 30, 2020. Net realizable value inventory adjustments to decrease metals inventory carrying values totaling $83 million were recorded in the first six months of 2020 associated with lower market prices for copper ($61 million) and molybdenum ($22 million).

FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate was 3130 percent for the first six months of 2021first-quarter 2022 and (9)32 percent for the first six months of 2020. Because FCX's U.S. jurisdiction generated pre-tax losses for the first six months of 2020 that did not result in a realized tax benefit, applicable accounting rules required FCX to adjust its 2020 estimated annual effective tax rate to exclude the impact of U.S. pre-tax losses.first-quarter 2021. Variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income result in fluctuations to FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate.
In connection with the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, governments throughout the world are announcing measures that are intended to provide tax and other financial relief. Such measures include the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA), enacted on March 11, 2021, and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), enacted on March 27, 2020. None of these measures resulted in material impacts to FCX’s provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
However, certain provisions of the CARES Act provided FCX with the opportunity to accelerate collections of tax refunds, primarily those associated with the U.S. alternative minimum tax. FCX collected U.S. alternative minimum tax credit refunds of $221 million in July 2020, $24 million in October 2020 and $23 million in March 2021. FCX continues to evaluate income tax accounting considerations of COVID-19 measures as they develop, including any impact on its measurement of existing deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. FCX will recognize any impact from COVID-19 related changes to tax laws in the period in which the new legislation is enacted.

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.
In April 2020, FCX entered into forward sales contracts for 150 million pounds
percent of North America's sales volumes for May and June 2020. These contracts resulted in hedging losses
totaling $24 million in second-quarter 2020 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020. There were no remaining
forward sales contracts as of June 30, 2020.
A discussion of FCX’s other derivative contracts and programs follows:
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments – Fair Value Hedges
Copper Futures and Swap Contracts. Some of FCX’s U.S. copper rod and cathode customers request a fixed market price instead of the Commodity Exchange Inc. (COMEX) average copper price in the month of shipment. FCX hedges this price exposure in a manner that allows it to receive the COMEX average price in the month of shipment while the customers pay the fixed price they requested. FCX accomplishes this by entering into copper futures or swap contracts. Hedging gains or losses from these copper futures and swap contracts are recorded in revenues. FCX did not have any significant gains or losses resulting from hedge ineffectiveness during the six-monththree-month periods ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and 2020.2021. At June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, FCX held copper futures and swap contracts that qualified for hedge accounting for 8084 million pounds at an average contract price of $4.20$4.47 per pound, with maturities through May 2023.February 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 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, 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 June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, Atlantic Copper held net copper forward purchase contracts for 174 million pounds at an average contract price of $4.36$4.60 per pound, with maturities through August 2021.May 2022.

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 June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the maximum amount of credit exposure associated with derivative transactions was $72$195 million.
Other Financial Instruments. Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, restricted cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investment securities, legally restricted funds, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued income taxes, dividends payable and debt. The carrying value for cash and cash equivalents (which included time deposits of $0.2 billion at June 30, 2021, and $0.3 billion at December 31, 2020), restricted cash, restricted cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accruedthese financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities and dividends payable approximates fair value because of their short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses (referlosses. Refer to Note 7 for the fair values of investment securities, legally restricted funds and debt).debt.
In addition, as of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, 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 second-quarter 2021.first-quarter 2022.
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 cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued income taxes and dividends payable (refer to Note 6) follows (in millions):

c.Refer to Note 6 for further discussion and balance sheet classifications.
d.Recorded at cost except for debt assumed in acquisitions, which are recorded at fair value at the respective acquisition dates.
Valuation Techniques. 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, collateralized mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds) 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.
Money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets.
FCX’s embedded derivatives on provisional copper concentrate, copper cathode and gold purchases and sales are valued using quoted monthly LME or COMEX copper forward prices and the adjusted London gold prices 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 $18$20 million at June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, and $12 million at December 31, 2020,2021, and (ii) other assets totaled $80$64 million at June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, and $96$70 million at December 31, 2020.2021. 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 June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, as compared with those techniques used at December 31, 2020.2021.
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 sixthree months of 20212022 follows (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

NOTE 8. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
EnvironmentalAsset Retirement Obligations (ARO)
Newtown Creek.Arizona Environmental and Reclamation Programs. FromFCX’s Arizona operations are subject to regulatory oversight by the 1930s until 1964, Phelps Dodge Refining Corporation (PDRC),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 indirect wholly owned subsidiaryAPP requires a proposed closure strategy that will meet applicable groundwater protection requirements following cessation of FCX, operatedoperations and an estimate of the implementation cost, with a copper smelter,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 from the 1930s until 1984 operated a copper refinery, on the banks of Newtown Creek (the creek),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 a 3.5-mile-long waterway that forms part of the boundary between Brooklyn and Queens in New York City. Heavy industrialization along the banks of the creek and discharges from the City of New York’s sewer system over more than a century resulted in significant environmental contamination of the waterway. In 2010, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notified PDRC, four other companies and the City of New York that EPA considers them to be potentially responsible parties (PRPs) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980. The notified parties began working with EPA to identify other PRPs. In 2010, EPA designated the creek as a Superfund site, and in 2011, PDRC and five other parties (the Newtown Creek Group, NCG) entered an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) to perform a remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) to assess the nature and extent of environmental contamination in the creek and identify potential remedial options. The parties’ RI/FS work under the AOC and their efforts to identify other PRPs are ongoing. The NCG submitted the initial draft RI to EPA in 2016 and currently expects the report to be finalized in 2021. The NCG currently anticipates a draft FS to be submitted to EPA for review and approval in 2024. EPA is not expected to propose a final creek-wide remedy until after the RI/FS is completed, with the actualresult 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.
remediation construction starting several years later. In July 2019, the NCG entered into an AOC to conduct a Focused Feasibility Study (FFS) of the first two miles of the creek to support an evaluation of an interim remedy for that section of the creek. In July 2021, EPA terminated the FFS, which effectively incorporates remediation of the lower creek with the site-wide remedy. FCX’s environmental liability balance for the creek was $308 million at June 30, 2021. The final costs of fulfilling this remedial obligation and the allocation of costs among PRPs are uncertain and subject to change based on the results of the RI/FS, the remedy ultimately selected by EPA and related allocation determinations. Changes to the overall cost of this remedial obligation and the portion ultimately allocated to PDRC could be material to FCX.
Litigation
There were no significant updates to previously reported legal proceedings included in Note 12 of FCX’s 20202021 Form 10-K, other than the matters discussed below.10-K.
Asbestos and Talc Claims. As previously disclosed, since approximately 1990, various FCX affiliates have been named as defendants in a large number of lawsuits alleging personal injury from, among other things, exposure to asbestos or talc allegedly contained in industrial products, and more recently alleging the presence of asbestos contamination in talc-based cosmetic and personal care products. Cyprus Amax Minerals Company (CAMC), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of FCX, and Cyprus Mines Corporation (Cyprus Mines), a wholly owned subsidiary of CAMC, are among the targets of such lawsuits. Cyprus Mines and subsidiaries were engaged in talc mining and processing from 1964 until 1992 when Cyprus Mines exited its talc business. On February 13, 2019, Imerys Talc America (Imerys), the current owner of the talc business assets and liabilities previously owned by Cyprus Mines, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. On December 22, 2020, Imerys filed an amended bankruptcy plan disclosing a global settlement with Cyprus Mines and CAMC, which provides a framework for a full and comprehensive resolution of all current and future potential liabilities arising out of the Cyprus Mines talc business, including claims against FCX, its affiliates, Cyprus Mines and CAMC. A hearing to consider confirmation of the Imerys bankruptcy plan has been scheduled to be held in November 2021. Consistent with the global settlement agreement, Cyprus Mines commenced its own bankruptcy process on February 11, 2021, and talc-related litigation against both Cyprus Mines and Cyprus Amax Minerals Company is stayed through 2021. The global settlement is subject to, among other things, votes by claimants in both the Imerys and Cyprus Mines bankruptcy cases as well as bankruptcy court approvals in both cases, and there can be no assurance that the global settlement will be successfully implemented. FCX has a $130 million liability balance at June 30, 2021, associated with the proposed settlement.
Other Matters
PT-FI and PT Smelting Export Licenses. In March 2021, PT-FI received a one-year extension of its export license through March 15, 2022. In July 2021, PT Smelting received a six-month extension of its anodes slimes export license, which currently expires December 30, 2021.
Smelter Development Progress of Greenfield Smelter at East Java. On January 7, 2021, the Indonesia government levied an administrative fine of $149 million for the period from March 30, 2020, through September 30, 2020, (additional fines could be levied on exports after September 30, 2020), on PT-FI for failing to achieve physical development progress on theits 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 that causedcausing a delay in development progress forof the greenfield smelter at East Java.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. PT-FI is continuing to discuss this matter with the Indonesia government as well as provide additional documentation to support its position on the cause of delays in development progress on the greenfield smelter. During the first six months of 2021, PT-FI recorded charges totaling $16 million ($3 million in second-quarter 2021 and $13 million in first-quarter 2021) for a potential settlement of the administrative fine. On January 25, 2022, the Indonesia government submitted a new estimate of the administrative fine which is expected to includetotaling $57 million. In March 2022, PT-FI paid the administrative fine and recorded a charge of $41 million in first-quarter 2022. 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 licenses are valid for a one-year period, subject to review and approval by the greenfield smelter. No additional fine is expectedIndonesia government every six months, depending on smelter construction progress. In March 2022, PT-FI obtained a one-year extension of its concentrate export license through March 19, 2023, for 2000000 metric tons of concentrate, the construction period after July 2020approval of which was based on PT-FI’s revised smelter construction schedule as modified to reflect impacts of the revised schedule. The final settlement could differ from the amounts recorded in 2021.ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Chiyoda Contract. In July 2021, PT-FI awarded a construction contract to Chiyoda for the construction of a new greenfield smelter in Gresik, Indonesia with an estimated contract cost of $2.8 billion.
NOTE 9. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
FCX has organized its mining operations into 4 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 andcopper mines, the Grasberg minerals district (Indonesia Mining) copper mines,, 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 on 39.5 percent 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.
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.

OVERVIEW
We are a leading international mining company with headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. We operate large, long-lived, geographically diverse assets with significant proven and probable mineral reserves of copper, gold and molybdenum. We are one of the world’s largest publicly traded copper producers. Our portfolio of assets includes the Grasberg minerals district in Indonesia, one of the world’s largest copper and gold deposits; and significant mining operations in North America and South America, including the large-scale Morenci minerals district in Arizona and the Cerro Verde operation in Peru.
Our results for the first six months of 2021first-quarter 2022 reflect strong operating and financial performance, and cash flow generation. We achieved the balance sheet targets outlined in our financial policy adopted earlier this year,generation and believe that we are well positioned to increase cash returns to shareholdersshareholders. We remain focused on cost and for investmentscapital management and are advancing our sustainability objectives. We achieved a 24 percent increase in long-term future growth.copper sales and a 59 percent increase in gold sales, compared to first-quarter 2021. We plan to continue to execute our operating plans, inwhich we expect will provide strong cash flows to support advancement of organic growth initiatives and continued cash returns to shareholders under our established financial policy, based on a safe, efficientfavorable operational and responsible manner and remain focused on building long-term value through solid management of our portfolio of long-lived and high-quality copper assets.market outlook.
The ramp-upAs further discussed in “Operations,” first-quarter 2022 highlights include:
•Continued growth in operating rates at Lone Star toward achieving production of underground mining at PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI) is advancing on schedule and300 million pounds of copper per year from oxide ores (compared with the initial design capacity of 200 million pounds per year).
•Strong performance from Cerro Verde's concentrator facilities, have performed well with milling rates averaging 382,100394,400 metric tons of ore per day. Subject to ongoing monitoring of COVID-19 protocols, milling rates are currently expected to average approximately 400,000 metric tons of ore per day for the first six monthsremainder 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. Our Lone Star copper leach project, which was successfully completed inMilling rates at the second halfGrasberg minerals district are expected to average approximately 180,000 to 190,000 metric tons of 2020, has achieved design capacity approximating 200 million poundsore per day for the remainder of copper annually with potential for further increases. Refer to “Operations” for further discussion.2022.
Net income (loss) attributable to common stock totaled $1.1$1.5 billion in second-quarter 2021, $53 million in second-quarter 2020, $1.8 billion for the first six months of 2021 and $(438) million for the first six months of 2020. Results for the 2021 periods,first-quarter 2022, compared with the 2020 periods, reflect$0.7 billion in first-quarter 2021, primarily reflecting higher copper prices and gold sales volumes and prices, partly offset by a higher provision for income taxes. The results for the 2020 periods also reflect charges directly associated with the COVID-19 pandemictaxes and revised operating plans, including employee separation costs, totaling $144 million in second-quarter 2020increased energy and $153 million for the first six months of 2020.other input costs. Refer to “Consolidated Results” for further discussion.
We continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and maintain our vigilant operating protocols to contain and mitigate the risk of spread of COVID-19 at each of our operating sites. To date, our protocols have been effective in mitigating and preventing a major outbreak of COVID-19 at our operating sites. We will continue to monitor, assess and update our COVID-19 response and to provide assistance to employees in obtaining vaccinations.
At June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had consolidated debt of $9.7$9.6 billion and consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $6.3$8.3 billion, resulting in net debt of $3.4 billion. This represents a reduction in$1.3 billion (including $0.6 billion of net debt of $2.7 billion from year-end 2020.for the Indonesia smelter projects). Refer to “Net Debt” for reconciliations of consolidated debt and consolidated cash and cash equivalents to net debt.
At June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had no borrowings and $3.5 billion available under our revolving credit facility. We have $1.1At March 31, 2022, we had $1.4 billion of current debt, including $995 million of senior notes maturing in debt maturities through 2022, including our 3.55% Senior Notes ($0.5 billion)March 2023 (with redemption rights at par in December 2022) and the$325 million under Cerro VerdeVerde’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 ($0.5 billion)44.02 average cost per share). Through May 5, 2022, we acquired 28.7 million shares
of our common stock for a total cost of $1.2 billion ($41.64 average cost per share) and $1.8 billion remains available under the share repurchase program.
Refer to Note 5 and “Capital Resources and Liquidity” for further discussion.
OUTLOOK
We continue to view the long-term outlook for our business positively, supported by limitations on supplies of copper and by the requirements for copper in the world’s economy. Our financial results vary as a result of fluctuations in market prices primarily for copper, gold and, to a lesser extent, molybdenum, as well as other factors. World market prices for these commodities have fluctuated historically and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control. Refer to “Markets” below and “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. of our 20202021 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 2021:2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Copper (millions of recoverable pounds): | | | | | |
North America copper mines | 1,4651,536 | | | | | |
South America mining | 1,0501,154 | | | | | |
Indonesia mining | 1,3351,564 | | | | | |
Total | 3,8504,254 | | | | | |
| | | | | |
Gold (millions of recoverable ounces) | 1.31.6 | | | | | |
| | | | | |
Molybdenum (millions of recoverable pounds) | 8680 | | a | | | |
| | | | | |
a.Projected molybdenum sales include 2830 million pounds produced by our Molybdenum mines and 5850 million pounds produced by our North America and South America copper mines.
Consolidated sales volumes in third-quarter 2021second-quarter 2022 are expected to approximate 1.0351.0 billion pounds of copper, 360405 thousand ounces of gold and 21 million pounds of molybdenum. Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance, continued progress of the ramp-up of underground mining at PT-FI, impacts and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, weather-related conditions, timing of shipments, and other factors.factors detailed in the “Cautionary Statement” below.
For other important factors that could cause results to differ materially from projections, refer to “Cautionary Statement” and “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A. of our 20202021 Form 10-K.
Consolidated Unit Net Cash Costs
Assuming average prices of $1,800$1,950 per ounce of gold and $16.00$19.00 per pound of molybdenum for the second halfremainder of 20212022 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 $1.35$1.44 per pound of copper for the year 20212022 (including $1.33$1.41 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2021)second-quarter 2022). 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 forduring the second halfremainder of 20212022 on consolidated unit net cash costs for the year 20212022 would approximate $0.02$0.03 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $0.01$0.02 per pound of copper for each $2$2.00 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum. Quarterly unit net cash costs vary with fluctuations in sales volumes and realized prices, primarily for gold and molybdenum.
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 $4.25$4.75 per pound for copper, $1,800$1,950 per ounce for gold, and $16.00$19.00 per pound for molybdenum for the second halfremainder of 2021,2022, our consolidated operating cash flows are estimated to approximate $7.5$8.6 billion (including $0.4(net of $0.9 billion of working capital and other sources)uses) for the year 2021.2022. Estimated consolidated operating cash flows for the year 20212022 also reflect an estimated income tax provision of $2.5$3.4 billion (refer to “Consolidated Results – Income Taxes” for further discussion of our projected income tax rate for the year 2021)2022). The impact of price changes for the second halfremainder of 20212022 on operating cash flows would approximate $200$300 million for each $0.10 per pound change in the average price of copper, $50$80 million for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $55$75 million for each $2$2.00 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.
Consolidated Capital Expenditures
Consolidated capital expenditures for the year 2022 are expected to approximate $4.6 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 billion for major mining projects ($1.3 billion for planned projects primarily associated with underground mine development in the Grasberg minerals district and supporting mill and power capital costs and $0.6 billion for discretionary growth projects).
Capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects are expected to approximate $1.4 billion for the year 2022.
Development of additional smelting capacity in Indonesia will result in the elimination of export duties, providing an
offset to the economic cost associated with the Indonesia smelter projects. Capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects are being funded with the net proceeds from PT-FI's unsecured senior notes issued in April 2022 and its available bank credit facilities.
Consolidated Capital Expenditures
Consolidated capital expenditures, excluding estimated expenditures associated with Indonesia smelter development, are expected to approximate $2.2 billion for the year 2021, including $1.4 billion for major projects, primarily associated with underground development activities in the Grasberg minerals district.
Indonesia smelter development expenditures are currently expected to approximate $0.4 billion for the year 2021 (including $0.3 billion during the second half of 2021). All costs of smelter development in Indonesia will be shared 49 percent by FCX and 51 percent by PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (Persero) (PT Inalum, also known as MIND ID), and will be largely offset by a phase-out of the 5 percent export duty currently paid to the Indonesia government as well as the tax deductibility of smelter costs by PT-FI. PT-FI plans to use its $1 billion, five-year, unsecured credit facility (refer to Note 5) and additional debt financing to fund these projects.
MARKETS
World prices for copper, gold and molybdenum can fluctuate significantly. During the period from January 20112012 through June 2021,March 2022, the London Metal Exchange (LME) copper settlement price varied from a low of $1.96 per pound in 2016 to a record high of $4.86$4.87 per pound in 2021;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 Metals Week Molybdenum Dealer Oxide weekly average price ranged from a low of $4.46 per pound in 2015 to a high of $19.90$20.01 per pound in 2021. 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 20202021 Form 10-K.

Sales Volumes. Consolidated copper and gold sales volumes increased in thefirst-quarter 2022, compared with first-quarter 2021, periods, compared to the 2020 periods, primarily reflecting continued progress of the ramp-up of underground mining at PT-FI.PT-FI and timing of shipments in North America. Refer to “Operations” for further discussion of sales volumes at our mining operations.
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 for second-quarter 2021,in first-quarter 2022, compared with second-quarter 2020,first-quarter 2021, were 7018 percent higher for copper, 312 percent higher for gold and 25 percent higher for molybdenum and average realized prices for the first six months of 2021, compared with the first six months of 2020, were 68 percent higher for copper, 4 percent higher for gold and 1466 percent higher for molybdenum.
Average realized copper prices include net (unfavorable) favorable adjustments to current period provisionally priced copper sales (i.e., provisionally priced sales at March 31, 2022 and 2021) totaling $(55)$116 million in second-quarter 2021, $107first-quarter 2022 and $61 million in second-quarter 2020, $156 million for the first six months of 2021 and $26 million for the first six months of 2020.first-quarter 2021. As discussed in Note 6, substantially all of our copper concentrate and 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 (unfavorable) adjustments to prior periods’ provisionally priced copper sales (i.e., provisionally priced sales at MarchDecember 31, 2021 and 2020, and December 31,
2020 and 2019)2020) recorded in consolidated revenues totaled $173$102 million in second-quarter 2021, $55first-quarter 2022 and $146 million in second-quarter 2020, $169 million for the first six months of 2021 and $(102) million for the first six months of 2020.first-quarter 2021. Refer to Notes 6 and 9 for a summary of total adjustments to prior period and current period provisionally priced sales.
At June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had provisionally priced copper sales totaling 368473 million pounds of copper (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average of $4.25$4.71 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. We estimate that each $0.05 change in the price realized from the June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, provisional price recorded would have an approximate $12$15 million effect on our 20212022 net income attributable to common stock. TheCopper prices have declined from March 31, 2022, the LME copper settlement price settled at $4.42averaged $4.62 per pound in April 2022 and approximated $4.30 per pound on July 30, 2021.May 4, 2022.
Atlantic Copper Revenues. Atlantic Copper revenues totaled $794$718 million in second-quarter 2021 and $1.5 billion for the first six months of 2021,first-quarter 2022, compared with $466$687 million in second-quarter 2020 and $906 million for the first six months of 2020.first-quarter 2021. Higher revenues in the 2021 periods,first-quarter 2022, compared with the 2020 periods,first-quarter 2021, primarily reflect higher copper prices.
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 6815 million pounds in second-quarter 2021, 71first-quarter 2022 and 53 million pounds in second-quarter 2020, 121 million pounds for the first six months of 2021 and 159 million pounds for the first six months of 2020. The increase in revenues associated with purchased copper in the 2021 periods, compared to the 2020 periods, reflects higher copper prices.first-quarter 2021.
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.
Royalties and Export Duties. Royalties are primarily on PT-FI sales and vary with the volume of metal sold and the prices of copper and gold. PT-FI will continuecurrently pays duties on concentrate exports of 5 percent, declining to pay export duties until2.5 percent when development progress for new domesticadditional smelting with an annual capacity of 2 million metric tons of concentratein Indonesia exceeds 30 percent, and eliminated when development progress for additional smelting capacity in Indonesia exceeds 50 percent. Refer to “Operations – Indonesia Mining” for further discussion of the current progress on a greenfield smelteradditional smelting capacity in Indonesia and to Note 9 for a summary of royalty expense and export duties.
Production and Delivery Costs
Consolidated production and delivery costs totaled $3.1$3.2 billion in second-quarter 2021, $2.4first-quarter 2022 and $2.8 billion in second-quarter 2020, $5.9 billion for the first six months of 2021 and $4.9 billion for the first six months of 2020.first-quarter 2021. Higher consolidated production and delivery costs in the 2021 periodsfirst-quarter 2022 primarily reflect higher sales volumes higher milling and mining costsincreased energy, maintenance and nonrecurring labor-related charges at Cerro Verde for agreements reached with 57 percent of its hourly employees. The 2020 periods also include charges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and revised operating plans.other input costs.
Site Production and Delivery Costs Per Pound. Site production and delivery costs for our copper mining operations primarily include labor, energy and commodity-based inputs, such as sulphuric acid, reagents, liners, tires and explosives. Consolidated site production and delivery costs (before net noncash and other costs) for our copper mines averaged $2.02$2.03 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2021, $1.82first-quarter 2022 and $1.86 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2020, $1.94 per pound of copper for the first six months of 2021 and $2.00 per pound of copper for the first six months of 2020.first-quarter 2021.
ConsolidatedHigher consolidated site production and delivery costs per pound in the second quarter and first six months of 2021,copper for first-quarter 2022, compared with the second quarter and first six months of 2020,first-quarter 2021, primarily reflectedreflect higher mining and milling costs and nonrecurring labor-related charges at Cerro Verde,increased energy and other input costs, partly offset by higher sales volumes. Consolidated site production and delivery costs for the 2020 periods excluded charges primarily associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and the April 2020 revised operating plans. Refer to “Operations – Unit Net Cash Costs” for further discussion of unit net cash costs associated with our operating divisions and to “Product Revenues and Production Costs” for reconciliations of per pound costs by operating division to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in our consolidated financial statements.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
Depreciation will vary under the unit-of-production (UOP) method as a result of changes in sales volumes and the related UOP rates at our mining operations. Consolidated depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) totaled $483$489 million in second-quarter 2021, $358first-quarter 2022 and $419 million in second-quarter 2020, $902 million for the first six months of 2021 and $699 million for the first six months of 2020.first-quarter 2021. Higher DD&A in the 2021 periods isfirst-quarter 2022 primarily related toreflects higher sales volumes and assets placed in service and higher sales volumes associated with the ramp-up of underground mining at PT-FI.
Metals Inventory Adjustments
Net realizable value metals inventory adjustments totaled a net credit of $139 million in second-quarter 2020 and net charges of $1 million for the first six months of 2021 and $83 million for the first six months of 2020. Metals inventory adjustments in 2020 were related to volatility in copper and molybdenum prices associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Interest Expense, Net
Consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) totaled $165$153 million in second-quarter 2021, $159first-quarter 2022 and $160 million in second-quarter 2020, $325 million for the first six months of 2021 and $330 million for the first six months of 2020.first-quarter 2021.
Capitalized interest varies with the level of qualifying assets associated with our development projects and average interest rates on our borrowings, andborrowings. Capitalized interest totaled $17$26 million in second-quarter 2021, $44first-quarter 2022 and $15 million in second-quarter 2020, $32 million for the first six months of 2021 and $88 million for the first six months of 2020.first-quarter 2021. The decreaseincrease in capitalized interest in the 2021 periods,first-quarter 2022, compared with the 2020 periods,first-quarter 2021, is primarily related to significant assets at PT-FI’smajor mining projects primarily associated with underground mines being placeddevelopment activities in service.the Grasberg minerals district and development of the greenfield smelter in Indonesia.

Responsible Production
20202021 Annual Report on Sustainability.Sustainability. In April 2021,2022, we published our 20202021 Annual Report on Sustainability, which is available on our website at fcx.com.fcx.com/sustainability. We have a long history of environmental, social and governance (ESG) programs and are continuously striving to continuously improve and respond to evolving stakeholder expectations.performance in these important areas. This report markedmarks our 20th21st year of reporting on our sustainability progress and our firstsecond year of reporting in alignment with the Sustainability AccountingValue Reporting Foundation’s SASB Standards Boardfor the Metals & Mining framework.industry. We are committed to building upon our achievements in sustainability and seek to contribute positively to society by supplying the world with responsibly produced copper.we are focused on leading as a responsible copper producer.
The Copper Mark. The Copper Mark is a robust assurance framework that demonstrates the copper industry's responsible production practices and contributionWe are committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. To date, we have six sites that have achieved the Copper Mark (the Morenci operations, Miami smelter and mine, and El Paso refinery in North America; Cerro Verde and El Abra mines in South America; and Atlantic Copper smelter and refinery in Spain). In June 2021, we commenced the Copper Mark assessment process at five additional operating sites, including Bagdad, Chino, Tyrone, Safford and Sierrita. Each of these sites will complete an external assurance process to assess conformance with the Copper Mark’s 32 ESG requirements, with a goal of being awarded the Copper Mark. We have future plans to validatevalidating all of our copper producing sites with the Copper Mark, a comprehensive assurance framework designed to demonstrate the copper industry's responsible production practices. To achieve the Copper Mark, each site is required to complete an external assurance process to assess conformance with 32 ESG requirements. During first-quarter 2022, our Chino and Tyrone sites were awarded the Copper Mark. To date, we have achieved the Copper Mark at nine of our global sites (Chino, Tyrone, Bagdad, Morenci, Miami, El Paso, Cerro Verde, El Abra and Atlantic Copper), two sites have signed letters of commitment (Safford and Sierrita) and we expect to advance preparation for the validation process for PT-FI during 2022.
Leaching Innovation Initiatives
We have a long history of leach production and continue to pursue internal and external initiatives to advance sulfide leaching technologies, which are expected to allow us to recover additional copper from our large existing leach stockpiles. We have several initiatives ongoing across our North America and South America operations that incorporate new applications, technologies and data analytics. Initial results support the potential for incremental low-cost and low-carbon additions to our production and reserve profile.
Feasibility and Optimization Studies
We are engaged in various studies associated with potential future expansion projects primarily in North and South America. The cost of these studies are expensed as incurred. We estimate the costs of these studies will approximate $200 million for the year 2022 (including approximately $60 million in second-quarter 2022), compared with approximately $60 million for the year 2021.
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. In addition to copper, certain of these mines produce molybdenum concentrate, gold and silver. All of the North America mining operations are wholly owned, except for Morenci. We record our 72 percent undivided joint venture interest in Morenci using the proportionate consolidation method.
The North America copper mines include open-pit mining, sulfide oresulfide-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. Our North America operating sites continue to achieve strong execution of operating plans. We successfully completed the initial development of the Lone Star copper leach project in the second half of 2020, and current operations are exceeding initial design capacity approximating 200 million pounds annually. We continue to advance opportunities to increase operating rates and for development of the large-scale sulfide resource at Lone Star, including evaluating a potential additional incremental oxide expansion to increase volumes to over 300 million pounds of copper per year.
We have substantial resourcesreserves and future opportunities in the U.S., primarily associated with existing mining operations. Evaluation of project options for future growth are under way. In addition
We continue to increase Lone Star weoperating rates to achieve production of 300 million pounds of copper per year from oxide ores (compared with the initial design capacity of 200 million pounds per year). The oxide project at Lone Star advances the opportunity for development of the underlying, large-scale sulfide resources. We are actively advancing studiesalso increasing exploration in the area to add newsupport metallurgical testing and mine development planning for a potential significant long-term investment to build additional scale on an economically attractive basis.
We are planning an expansion to double the concentrator capacity atof our long-lived Bagdad operation in northwest Arizona.Arizona and are engaging stakeholders. We are commencing a feasibility study for this project during 2022.

Our North America copper mines have varying cost structures because of differences in ore grades and characteristics, processing costs, by-product credits and other factors. Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines of $1.97$2.13 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2021first-quarter 2022 were higher than unit net cash costs of $1.78$1.85 per pound in second-quarter 2020,first-quarter 2021, primarily reflecting costs associated with higherincreased mining and milling rates and higher maintenanceenergy and other input costs, partly offset by higher by-product credits. Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) of $1.91 per pound of copper for first six months of 2021 approximated average unit net cash costs for the first six months of 2020.sales volumes.
Because certain assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, North America’s average unit depreciation rate may vary with asset additions and the level of copper production and sales.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for our North America copper mines are expected to approximate $1.91$2.22 per pound of copper for the year 2021,2022, based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average molybdenum price of $16.00$19.00 per pound for the second halfremainder of 2021.2022. North America’s average unit net cash costs for the year 20212022 would change by approximately $0.02$0.03 per pound for each $2$2.00 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum for the second halfremainder of 2021.2022.
South America Mining
We operate two copper mines in South America – Cerro Verde in Peru (in which we own a 53.56 percent interest) and El Abra in Chile (in which we own a 51 percent interest), which are consolidated in our financial statements.
South America mining includes open-pit mining, sulfide oresulfide-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.
Cerro Verde Labor Agreement.
During second-quarter 2021, Cerro Verde reached agreements with 57 percent of its hourly employees (including early agreement of a new four-year collective labor agreement (CLA) with one of its three unions) and incurred nonrecurring charges totaling $69 million associated with these agreements. Negotiations for new CLAs for Cerro Verde's remaining hourly employees are ongoing. The current CLA is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2021.
Operating and Development Activities. During first-quarter 2022, milling rates at Cerro Verde's concentrator facilities have continuedaveraged 394,400 metric tons of ore per day. Subject to perform well withongoing monitoring of COVID-19 protocols, milling rates averaging 382,100at Cerro Verde are currently expected to average approximately 400,000 metric tons of ore per day for the first six monthsremainder of 2021. Cerro Verde expects milling rates to return to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels of approximately 400,000 metric tons of ore per day in 2022.
El Abra continues to implement plans to increase operating rates to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, subject to ongoing monitoring of public health conditions in Chile. Stacking
Operating rates at El Abra averaged 94,200 metric tons per day in second-quarter 2021, approximately 25 percent higher than second-quarter 2020. Increasedhave returned to pre-COVID-19 levels and increased mining and stacking ratesactivities are expected to result in incremental annualan approximate 30 percent increase in El Abra copper production of approximately 70 million pounds of copper beginning in mid-2022,for the year 2022, compared with 2020 levels. A new leach pad is under construction to accommodate planned stacking rates for the next several years.year 2021.
We continue to evaluate a large-scale expansion at El Abra to process additional sulfide material and to achieve higher copper recoveries. El Abra's large sulfide resource could potentially supportsupports a potential major mill project similar to facilitiesthe large-scale concentrator constructed at Cerro Verde in 2015. Technical and economic studies continue to be evaluated to determine the optimal scope and timing for the sulfide project. We are monitoringengaging stakeholders and preparing data required for submission of a robust permit application, while we continue to monitor potential changes in governmentChile’s regulatory and fiscal matters in Chile andmatters. We will defer major investment decisions pending clarity on theseChile’s regulatory and fiscal matters.

Our South America mines have varying cost structures because of differences in ore grades and characteristics, processing costs, by-product credits and other factors. Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the South America copper mines were $2.31mining of $2.16 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2021, $1.68first-quarter 2022 were higher than unit net cash costs of $1.94 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2020, $2.11 per pound of copper for the first six months offirst-quarter 2021, primarily reflecting higher acid, energy and $1.85 per pound of copper for the first six months of 2020. Higher unit net cashother input costs, in the 2021 periods, compared with the 2020 periods, primarily reflect increased mining and milling activities and non-recurring labor-related costs at Cerro Verde ($0.30 per pound in second-quarter 2021 and $0.14 per pound for the first six months of 2021), partly offset by higher volumes.by-product credits.
Revenues from Cerro Verde’s concentrate sales are recorded net of treatment charges, which will vary with Cerro Verde’s sales volumes and the price of copper.
Because certain assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, South America’s unit depreciation rate may vary with asset additions and the level of copper production and sales.
Revenue adjustments primarily result from changes in prices on provisionally priced copper sales recognized in prior periods. Refer to “Consolidated Results – Revenues” for further discussion of adjustments to prior period provisionally priced copper sales.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America mining are expected to approximate $2.02$2.23 per pound of copper for the year 2021,2022, based on current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $16.00$19.00 per pound of molybdenum for the second halfremainder of 2021.2022.
Indonesia Mining
PT-FI operates one of the world’s largest copper and gold mines at the Grasberg minerals district in Papua, Indonesia. PT-FI produces copper concentrate that contains significant quantities of gold and silver. We have a 48.76 percent interest in PT-FI and manage its mining operations. As further discussed in Note 2 of our 20202021 Form 10-K, under the terms of the 2018 shareholders agreement, our economic interest in PT-FI approximates 81 percent through 2022.2022, and 48.76 percent thereafter. PT-FI’s results are consolidated in our financial statements.
PT-FI continues to operate with protocols designed to protect the health and safety of its workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic. During second-quarter 2021, PT-FI began to administer vaccines to its workforce and expects this program to accelerate through the second half of 2021. Following an increase in COVID-19 cases in Indonesia, PT-FI has recently reinstituted heightened protocols and travel restrictions to protect the health of its workforce and the surrounding community.
Substantially all of PT-FI’s copper concentrate is sold under long-term contracts. During first six months of 2021, 46first-quarter 2022, 37 percent of PT-FI’s concentrate production was sold to PT Smelting (PT-FI’s 39.5-percent owned copper smelter and refinery in Gresik, Indonesia).
Operating and Development Activities. The ramp-up ofPT-FI currently has three underground production atoperating mines in the Grasberg minerals district in Indonesia continues to advance on schedule. Second-quarter 2021 highlights include:
•Production approximated 78 percent of the projected ultimate annualized level and is expected to reach 100 percent by year-end 2021.
•A total of 41 new drawbells were constructed at thedistrict: Grasberg Block Cave, DMLZ and Deep Mill Level Zone (DMLZ) underground mines, bringing cumulative open drawbells to over 460.
•Combined average production from the Grasberg Block CaveBig Gossan. In late 2021, PT-FI achieved quarterly copper and DMLZ underground mines approximated 118,300 metric tonsgold volumes approximating 100 percent of ore per day. During second-quarter 2021, Grasberg Block Cave achieved a daily recordprojected annualized levels of 107,000 metric tons of ore per day.
The successful completion of this ramp up is expected to enable PT-FI to generate average annual production of 1.55approximately 1.6 billion pounds of copper and 1.6 million ounces of goldgold.
Combined milling rates from PT-FI's underground mines averaged 186,500 metric tons of ore per day in first-quarter 2022, and PT-FI expects milling rates to average approximately 180,000 to 190,000 metric tons of ore per day for the next several yearsremainder of 2022. The installation of additional milling facilities at an attractive unit net cash cost, providing significant marginsPT-FI is in progress and cash flows. PT-FI expects production for the year 2021is currently expected to approximate 1.3 billion poundsbe completed in 2023, which will increase milling capacity to approximately 240,000 metric tons of copper and 1.3 million ounces of gold, nearly double 2020 levels.ore per day.
PT-FI's estimated annual capital spending on the Grasberg Block Cave and DMLZ underground mine development projects for the year 2022 is expected to average approximately $0.9approximate $1.0 billion, per year for 2021 and 2022, net of scheduled contributions from PT Inalum.Indonesia Asahan
Aluminium (Persero) (PT Inalum, also known as MIND ID). PT-FI is also advancing construction of a dual-fuel power plant and upgrades to the mill circuit to improve recoveries. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the aggregate costs (before scheduled contributions from PT Inalum), which are expected to average $1.1approximate $1.2 billion perfor the year for 2021 and 2022, will be reflected as an investing activity in our cash flow statement, and contributions from PT Inalum will be reflected as a financing activity.
Kucing Liar. PT-FI commenced long-term mine development activities for its Kucing Liar deposit during 2021, which is expected to produce over 6 billion pounds of copper and 5 million ounces of gold over the life of the project. Pre-production development activities will occur over an approximate 10-year timeframe, and capital investments are expected to average approximately $400 million per year over the next 10 years. At full operating rates, annual production from Kucing Liar is expected to approximate 600 million pounds of copper and 500 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.
41Export License. In March 2022, PT-FI received a one-year extension of its export license through March 19, 2023, for two million metric tons of concentrate. Export licenses are valid for a one-year period, subject to review and approval by the Indonesia government every six months, depending on smelter construction progress.
Indonesia Smelter. As discussed in Note 13In connection with PT-FI’s 2018 agreement with the Indonesia government to secure the extension of our 2020 Form 10-K,its long-term mining rights, PT-FI committed to construct newadditional domestic smelting capacity totaling 2 million metric tons of concentrate per year by December 2023.the end of 2023 (subject to force majeure provisions).
To fulfill its obligation for new domestic smelter capacity in Indonesia, PT-FI is planningactively engaged in the following:
•Expansion of annual capacity at PT Smelting by 300,000 metric tons of concentrate, a 30 percent increase. PT-FI is advancing agreements with the majority owner of PT Smelting to implement the expansion plans with a target completion date of year-end 2023. PT-FI would fund the cost of the expansion, estimated to approximate $250 million, and increase its ownership in PT Smelting to a majority ownership interest.following projects for additional domestic smelting capacity:
•Construction of a new greenfield smelter in Gresik, Indonesia with a capacity to process approximately 1.7 million metric tons of copper concentrate per year. In July 2021, PT-FI awarded a construction contract to Chiyodaa third-party contractor with an estimated contract cost of $2.8 billion. PT-FI continues to progress site preparation activities, early works and engineering procurement and construction activities. The smelter construction is expected to be completed as soon as feasible in 2024, consistent with PT-FI’s revised smelter construction schedule.
•Expansion of PT Smelting's capacity by 30 percent to 1.3 million metric tons of concentrate per year, which is dependent on no further pandemic-related disruptions.expected to be completed by the end of 2023. PT-FI is funding the cost of the expansion, which is estimated to approximate $250 million, with a loan that will convert to equity, and increase ownership in PT Smelting to a majority ownership interest once the expansion is complete.
•Construction of a precious metals refineryPMR to process gold and silver from PT Smelting and the new greenfield smelter in Gresik,and PT Smelting at an estimated cost of $250 million.
All costs ofDuring first-quarter 2022, capital expenditures for the greenfield smelter development inand PMR (collectively, the Indonesia will be shared 49 percent by FCXsmelter projects) totaled $0.1 billion, and 51 percent by PT Inalum, and will be largely offset by a phase-outare expected to approximate $1.4 billion for the year 2022. Construction of the 5 percentadditional domestic smelter capacity will result in the elimination of export duty currently paidduties, providing an offset to the economic cost associated with the Indonesia government as well as the tax deductibilitysmelter projects.
As further discussed in “Capital Resources and Liquidity” for further discussionLiquidity,” PT-FI completed the sale of $3.0 billion of senior notes in April 2022, which will be used together with PT-FI’s available bank credit facilities primarily to fund the credit facility.Indonesia smelter projects.

BecauseIn first-quarter 2022, PT-FI’s gold and silver credits exceeded its cash costs, resulting in unit net cash credits of the fixed nature$0.06 per pound of a large portion of PT-FI's costs,copper, compared to unit net cash costs can vary significantly from quarter to quarter depending on copper and gold volumes. PT-FI’s unit net cash costs (including(net of gold and silver credits) of $0.25 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2021 and $0.27 per pound for the first six months of 2021, were lower than $0.56$0.29 per pound in second-quarter 2020 and $0.88 per pound for the first six months of 2020,first-quarter 2021, primarily reflecting higher sales volumes.volumes, partly offset by higher operating rates, energy and other input costs.
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.
PT-FI’s export duties totaled $44$79 million in second-quarter 2021, $16first-quarter 2022 and $29 million in second-quarter 2020, $73 million for the first six months of 2021 and $20 million for the first six months of 2020. PT-FI will continue to payfirst-quarter 2021. The increase in export duties until development progress for new domestic smeltingin first-quarter 2022, compared with an annual capacity of 2 million metric tons of concentrate exceeds 50 percent. first-quarter 2021, primarily reflects higher sales volumes.
PT-FI’s royalties totaled $80$92 million in second-quarter 2021, $25first-quarter 2022 and $61 million in second-quarter 2020, $140 million for the first six months of 2021 and $44 million for the first six months of 2020.first-quarter 2021. The increase in export duties and royalties for the 2021 periods,first-quarter 2022, compared with the 2020 periods,first-quarter 2021, primarily reflectreflects higher sales volumes and coppermetals prices.
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 $0.79$0.66 per pound in second-quarter 2021 and $0.78 per pound for the first six months of 2021,first-quarter 2022, compared with $0.72$0.77 per pound in second-quarter 2020 and $0.75 per pound for the first six months of 2020.first-quarter 2021. The increasedecrease in the rate per pound of copper for the 2021 periods, compared with the 2020 periods, primarily reflects depletion of the impact of an ongoing ramp upDeep Ore Zone underground mine and the ramp-up of underground mining in the Grasberg minerals district, which resulted in significantly higher copper production and sales volumes, and a related unit of production depreciation rate increase resulting frompartly offset by significant underground development assets placed into service.
Revenue adjustments primarily result from changes in prices on provisionally priced copper sales recognized in prior periods.
PT Smelting intercompany loss represents the change in the deferral of PT-FI’s profit on sales to PT Smelting (25 percent prior to April 30, 2021, and 39.5 percent thereafter). Refer to “Smelting and Refining” below for further discussion.
Assuming an average gold price of $1,800$1,950 per ounce for the second halfremainder of 20212022 and achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, unit net cash costs (including(net of gold and silver credits) for PT-FI are expected to approximate $0.19$0.10 per pound of copper for the year 2021. PT-FI's2022. PT-FI’s unit net cash costs for the year 20212022 would change by approximately $0.06$0.09 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold for the second halfremainder of 2021.2022.
PT-FI’s projected sales volumes and unit net cash costs for the year 20212022 are dependent on a number of factors, including continued progress of the ramp-up of underground mining, operational performance impacts and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and timing of shipments.
Molybdenum Mines
We operate two wholly owned molybdenum mines in Colorado – the Henderson underground mine and the Climax open-pit mine. The Henderson and Climax 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 and Climax mines, as well as from our North America and South America copper mines, is processed at our own conversion facilities.
Operating and Development Activities. Production from the Molybdenum mines oftotaled 7 million pounds of molybdenum in second-quarter 2021both first-quarter 2022 and 14 million poundsfirst-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 the first six months of 2021, was slightly higher than production of 6 million pounds of molybdenum in second-quarter 2020 and 13 million pounds for the first six months of 2020.molybdenum. 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.
Unit Net Cash Costs Per Pound of Molybdenum. Unit net cash costs per pound of molybdenum is a measure intended to provide investors with information about the cash-generating capacity of our mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for our respective operations. We use this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by our mining operations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This measure is presented by other metals mining companies, although our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Average unit net cash costs for our Molybdenum mines of $8.14$10.89 per pound of molybdenum in second-quarter 2021 and $8.53 per pound for the first six months of 2021first-quarter 2022 were lowerhigher than average unit net cash costs of $8.97$8.98 per pound in second-quarter 2020 and $9.52 per pound for the first six months of 2020,first-quarter 2021, primarily reflecting higher volumes.mining rates at the Climax mine and increased development costs at the Henderson mine. Based on current sales volume and cost estimates, average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines are expected to approximate $9.65$12.00 per pound of molybdenum for the year 2021.2022.
Refer to “Product Revenues and Production Costs” for a reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in our consolidated financial statements.
Smelting and Refining
We wholly own and operate athe Miami smelter in Arizona, (Miami smelter), athe El Paso refinery in Texas (El Paso refinery) and a smelter and refinery in Spain (Atlantic Copper). Additionally, PT-FI also has a 39.5 percent ownership interest in PT Smelting and expects its ownership to increase to a smelter and refinery in Gresik, Indonesia (PT Smelting).majority interest upon completion of the expansion of PT Smelting’s smelting capacity. 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 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.
Our Miami smelter processes concentrate produced by our U.S. mines and also provides acid for copper leaching operations. During the first six months of 2021, we incurred charges totaling $87 million associated with a major maintenance turnaround at our Miami smelter, which were higher than original estimates as a result of extended downtime to address additional required maintenance work, the COVID-19 pandemic and weather events. The next major maintenance turnaround is scheduled for the first half of 2024.
Atlantic Copper smelts and refines copper concentrate and markets refined copper and precious metals in slimes. During the first six months of 2021,first-quarter 2022, Atlantic Copper’s concentrate purchases included 3812 percent from our copper mining operations and 6288 percent 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 with PT Smelting provides for PT-FI to supply 100 percent of the copper concentrate requirements (subject to a minimum or maximum treatment charge rate) necessary for 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 the first six months of 2021,first-quarter 2022, PT-FI supplied the substantial majorityall of PT Smelting’s concentrate requirements. In JulyNovember 2021, PT-FI entered into a tolling agreement with PT Smelting received a six-month extension ofthat will be effective January 1, 2023, and will replace the current concentrate sales agreements between PT-FI and PT Smelting. Under the tolling agreement, PT-FI will pay PT Smelting to smelt and refine its anodes slimes export license, which currently expires December 30, 2021.concentrate and will retain title to all products for sale to third parties.
We defer recognizing profits on sales from our mining operations to Atlantic Copper and on 39.5 percent of PT-FI’s sales to PT Smelting (on 25(25.0 percent throughprior to April 30, 2021, and on 39.5 percent thereafter)2021) until final sales to third parties occur. Changes in these deferrals attributable to variability in intercompany volumes resulted in net additions (reductions) additions to operating income (loss) totaling $(99)$46 million ($(81)23 million to net income attributable to common stock) in second-quarter 2021first-quarter 2022 and $(17)$(85) million ($(6)(63) million to net income attributable to common stock) in second-quarter 2020, $(185) million ($(145) million to net income attributable to common stock) for the first six months of 2021 and $(6) million ($1 million to net loss attributable to common stock) for the first six months of 2020.first-quarter 2021. 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 $207$183 million at June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. 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. We currently estimate that approximately 40 percent of the net deferred profit balance will be recognized as income in the second half of 2021.
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 generated significant cash flows during the first six months of 2021,first-quarter 2022, reflecting strong operating and financial performance and favorable copper and gold prices. With a favorable market conditions. Thisoutlook and a focus on executing our operating plans, we expect to continue to generate strong performance allowed us to achieve the balance sheet targets outlined in our financial policy discussed below earlier than originally projected. Accordingly, we are well positioned to increasecash flows that will support advancement of organic growth initiatives and additional cash returns to shareholders and for investments in long-term growth.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. PT-FI has several projects inDuring first-quarter 2022, we continued to increase operating rates at Lone Star and from the underground mines at the Grasberg minerals district related todistrict. Pre-production development activities for the development of its large-scale, long-lived, high-grade underground ore bodies thatKucing Liar deposit, which commenced during 2021, are progressing on schedule. We are also evaluatingand we continue to evaluate organic growth opportunities for expansion of certain of our operations in North America and South America, to enhance net present values,including at Bagdad, Lone Star and we continue to consider future development of our copper resources,El Abra, the timing of which will be dependent on, among other things, market conditions.
Based on current sales volume, cost and metal price estimates discussed in “Outlook,” our projected consolidated operating cash flows of $8.6 billion for the year 2022 significantly exceed our expected consolidated capital expenditures of $4.6 billion (which includes $1.9 billion for major mining projects and $1.4 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects) and other cash requirements for the year, including share repurchases, noncontrolling interest distributions, income tax payments, common stock dividends (base and variable) and debt repayments.
We believe that our cash generating capability and financial condition, which includes $8.3 billion of consolidated
cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2022, together with availability$3.5 billion available under our revolving
credit facility, will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs.needs over the next several years. Additionally, capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects are being funded with the net proceeds from PT-FI’s unsecured senior notes issued in April 2022 and its available bank credit facilities.
Subject to future commodity prices for copper, gold, and molybdenum, our projected consolidated operating cash flows of $7.5 billion for the year 2021 significantly exceed our expected consolidated capital expenditures of $2.2 billion (which excludes capital expenditures for smelter development in Indonesia) and other cash requirements for the year, including common stock dividends and noncontrolling interest distributions. We plan to fund our smelter development projects in Indonesia with PT-FI’s new $1 billion, unsecured bank credit facility (see “Debt” below and Note 5) and additional debt financing. Refer to “Outlook” for further discussion of projected operating cash flows and capital expenditures for 2021.
At June 30, 2021, we had $9.8 billion in liquidity, comprisedthe year 2022 and to “Debt” below and Note 5 for further discussion of $6.3 billion in consolidated cashPT-FI’s unsecured senior notes and $3.5 billion of availability under our revolvingunsecured bank credit facility.
Financial Policy. In February 2021, our Board adopted a newOur financial policy for the allocation of cash flowsis aligned with our strategic objectives of maintaining a strong balance sheet and increasing cash returns to shareholders andwhile advancing opportunities for future growth. Under the financial policy up to 50 percent of cash flows, after planned capital spending (excluding Indonesia smelter project investments) and distributions to noncontrolling interests, will be directed to shareholder returns with the balance available for investments in future value enhancing growth projects and further debt reductions. The policy includesBoard will review the structure and the amount of the performance-based payout framework at least annually.
In February 2021, our Board of Directors (the Board) reinstated a basecash dividend on our common stock (base dividend) at an annual rate of $0.30 per share per year and a performance-based payout framework to be implemented following achievement of ashare. In mid-2021, FCX achieved its net debt target in the range of $3$3.0 billion to $4$4.0 billion excluding project(excluding debt for additional smelting capacity in Indonesia. UnderIndonesia). In November 2021, the Board approved the implementation of the performance-based payout framework, up to 50 percentincluding (i) a $3.0 billion share repurchase program and (ii) a variable cash dividend on common stock for 2022 at an expected annual rate 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 the Board’s discretion.
Available cash flows for performance-based payout distributions in excess$0.30 per share. The combined annual rate of the base dividend will be assessed byand the variable dividend is expected to total $0.60 per share for 2022. Based on current shares outstanding totaling 1.45 billion, the total common stock dividends (base and variable) for 2022 are expected to approximate $0.9 billion. Refer to Note 5 and “Financing Activities” below for further discussion.
In March 2022, our Board at least annually. With the recent achievementdeclared dividends totaling $0.15 per share on our common stock (including a $0.075 per share quarterly base cash dividend and a $0.075 per share quarterly variable cash dividend), which were paid on May 2, 2022, to shareholders of record as of April 14, 2022. Refer to Item 1A. “Risk Factors” contained in Part I of our net debt target, we expect the Board to consider the amount of additional cash returns to shareholders following its 2021 annual results. As of June 30, 2021, our consolidated net debt totaled $3.4 billion, a $2.7 billion reduction from December 31, 2020 (refer to “Net Debt”Form 10-K, and “Cautionary Statement” below for further discussion).discussion.

This information differs from consolidated debt determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for consolidated debt determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our net debt follows, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies (in millions):

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 our mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for the respective operations. We use this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by our mining operations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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 (loss) 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 (loss) 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), 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, restructuring and/or unusual charges.charges (credits). 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.
