Market Conditions
For the year 2022, the London Metal Exchange (LME) copper settlement prices ranged from a record high of $4.87 per pound in March to a low of $3.18 per pound in July, closed at $3.80 per pound on December 30, 2022, and averaged $3.99 per pound. Current physical market conditions are strong as evidenced by low levels of global exchange stocks. FCX's global customer base reports continued healthy demand for copper.
Improved market sentiment beginning in late 2022 was associated with prospects for improved demand from China, rising demand from global decarbonization initiatives, supply constraints, United States (U.S.) dollar exchange rates and low inventories. FCX believes the outlook for copper fundamentals in the medium- and long-term remain favorable, with third-party studies indicating that demand for copper may double in 15 years as a result of global decarbonization trends. FCX believes substantial new mine supply development will be required to meet the goals of the global energy transition, and higher copper prices will be required to support new mine supply development.
Historically, copper prices have been correlated to various input costs, including energy and other commodity-related consumables. During 2022, prices for a number of commodity-related consumables increased at a time when copper prices declined. While a number of commodity-related consumables have retreated from the highs of 2022, most cost elements remain high relative to long-term correlations. In addition, labor constraints, particularly in the U.S., continue to limit production levels. FCX will continue to carefully manage costs and drive efficiencies to mitigate cost increases.
The FCX management team and global organization have substantial experience and success in executing under volatile market conditions. FCX benefits from a diversified portfolio of operations with an attractive cost structure, long-lived reserves, a strong balance sheet and optionality in its project pipeline.
Responsible Production
The Copper Mark. FCX is committed to validating all of its 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 environmental, social and governance requirements. To date, FCX has achieved the Copper Mark at all 11 of its eligible copper producing sites in North America, South America and Europe. PT-FI is engaged in the validation review process having completed the assurance requirements and submitted its validation package in November 2022.
In fourth-quarter 2022, the Copper Mark announced an extension of its framework to include molybdenum producers, among other metal producers, and launched pilot implementations for producers of these metals. In December 2022, FCX signed letters of commitment for its Climax and Henderson molybdenum mines to participate in the Molybdenum Mark, making FCX the first molybdenum miner to pilot the program.
Consolidated Sales Volumes
Fourth-quarter 2022 sales:
•Copper sales of 1.04 billion pounds were slightly higher than the October 2022 estimate of 1.02 billion pounds and fourth-quarter 2021 sales.
•Gold sales of 458 thousand ounces were 9% higher than the October 2022 estimate of 420 thousand ounces of gold and 16% higher than fourth-quarter 2021 sales of 395 thousand ounces, primarily reflecting higher operating rates and recoveries at the Grasberg minerals district.
•Molybdenum sales of 19 million pounds approximated the October 2022 estimate and fourth-quarter 2021 sales.
Consolidated sales volumes for the year 2023 are expected to approximate 4.2 billion pounds of copper, 1.7 million ounces of gold and 80 million pounds of molybdenum, including 0.9 billion pounds of copper, 300 thousand ounces of gold and 20 million pounds of molybdenum in first-quarter 2023. Consolidated copper and gold production volumes for the year 2023 are expected to be above consolidated sales volumes, primarily reflecting approximately 90 million pounds of copper and 120 thousand ounces of gold in inventory as a result of PT-FI's commercial arrangement with PT Smelting converting to a tolling arrangement. Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance, weather-related conditions, timing of shipments, extension of PT-FI's export license after March 19, 2023, and other factors detailed in the Cautionary Statement below.
Consolidated Unit Net Cash Costs
Fourth-quarter 2022 consolidated average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for FCX's copper mines of $1.53 per pound of copper were 9% lower than the October 2022 estimate of $1.68 per pound, primarily reflecting higher gold and molybdenum by-product credits and slightly lower unit site production and delivery costs. Fourth-quarter 2022 consolidated average unit net cash costs were higher than the fourth-quarter 2021 average of $1.29 per pound of copper, primarily reflecting increased costs for energy, sulfuric acid and maintenance and supplies. Refer to "Mining Operations" below for further discussion.
Assuming average prices of $1,900 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum for 2023 and achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, consolidated unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for FCX's copper mines are expected to average $1.60 per pound of copper for the year 2023 (including $1.78 per pound of copper in first-quarter 2023). The impact of price changes on 2023 consolidated unit net cash costs would approximate $0.04 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $0.02 per pound of copper for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum. Quarterly unit net cash costs vary with fluctuations in sales volumes and realized prices, primarily for gold and molybdenum.
MINING OPERATIONS
Leaching Innovation Initiatives. FCX is advancing efforts to improve copper recovery from its leach processes, including initiatives across FCX's North America and South America operations to incorporate new applications, technologies and data analytics. FCX believes these leach innovation initiatives provide potential opportunities to produce incremental copper from its large existing leach stockpiles and lower-grade material currently classified as waste. Initial results support the potential for incremental low-cost additions to FCX's production and reserve profile and FCX has identified opportunities to achieve an annual run rate of 200 million pounds of copper per year through these initiatives by the end of 2023.
North America Copper Mines. FCX operates seven open-pit copper mines in North America - Morenci, Bagdad, Safford (including Lone Star), Sierrita and Miami in Arizona, and Chino and Tyrone in New Mexico. In addition to copper, certain of these mines produce molybdenum concentrate, gold and silver. All of the North America mining operations are wholly owned, except for Morenci. FCX records its 72% undivided joint venture interest in Morenci using the proportionate consolidation method.
Operating and Development Activities. FCX has substantial reserves and future opportunities in the U.S., primarily associated with existing mining operations.
Lone Star is increasing its operating rates to achieve targeted production of approximately 300 million pounds of copper per year from oxide ores in 2023 (compared with the initial design capacity of 200 million pounds of copper per year). The oxide project at Lone Star advances the opportunity for development of the underlying, large-scale sulfide resources. FCX is conducting follow-on exploration in the area to support metallurgical testing and mine development planning for a potential significant long-term investment to build additional scale on an economically attractive basis.
FCX is planning an expansion to double the concentrator capacity of the Bagdad operation in northwest Arizona. FCX is engaging stakeholders and is conducting a feasibility study, which is expected to be completed in 2023. FCX is advancing plans for expanded tailings infrastructure projects to support Bagdad's long-range plans. The timing of future development will be dependent on market conditions, labor and supply chain considerations and other economic factors.

b.For a reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in FCX's consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, "Product Revenues and Production Costs," beginning on page XIV.
FCX's consolidated copper sales volumes from North America of 338 million pounds in fourth-quarter 2022 were lower than fourth-quarter 2021 copper sales volumes of 364 million, primarily reflecting lower mill ore grades and the timing of shipments. North America copper sales are estimated to approximate 1.5 billion pounds for the year 2023.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines of $2.49 per pound of copper in fourth-quarter 2022 were higher than fourth-quarter 2021 unit net cash costs of $1.90 per pound, primarily reflecting increased costs for energy, maintenance and supplies, and sulfuric acid, as well as lower sales volumes and lower molybdenum by-product credits.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines are expected to approximate $2.45 per pound of copper for the year 2023, based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average molybdenum price of $20.00 per pound. North America's average unit net cash costs for the year 2023 would change by approximately $0.03 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.
South America Mining. FCX operates two copper mines in South America - Cerro Verde in Peru (in which FCX owns a 53.56% interest) and El Abra in Chile (in which FCX owns a 51% interest). These operations are consolidated in FCX's financial statements. In addition to copper, the Cerro Verde mine produces molybdenum concentrate and silver.
Beginning in late 2022, heightened tensions, protests and social unrest emerged in Peru following a change in the country's political leadership. Demonstrations have continued in early 2023, and the civil unrest continues to
disrupt commerce and supply chains in Peru. To date, there has been limited impact on Cerro Verde's operations. FCX continues to monitor the situation with a priority on safety and security. A prolonged disruption of logistics and supply chains could impact future operations.
Operating and Development Activities. Increased operating rates at Cerro Verde and higher mining and stacking activities at El Abra resulted in a 12% increase in copper production from South America mining for the year 2022, compared with the year 2021 (which was impacted by COVID-19 protocols).
El Abra's large sulfide resource supports a potential major mill project similar to the 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. FCX is advancing plans to invest in water infrastructure to provide options to extend existing operations, while continuing to monitor potential changes in Chile's regulatory and fiscal matters. FCX will defer major investment decisions pending clarity on such matters.

FCX's consolidated copper sales volumes from South America of 317 million pounds in fourth-quarter 2022 were higher than fourth-quarter 2021 copper sales volumes of 286 million pounds, primarily reflecting higher leach placements at El Abra and increased mining and milling rates at Cerro Verde. Copper sales from South America mining are expected to approximate 1.2 billion pounds for the year 2023.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America mining of $2.30 per pound of copper in fourth-quarter 2022 were higher than fourth-quarter 2021 unit net cash costs of $2.08 per pound, primarily reflecting higher energy, sulfuric acid and other input costs, partly offset by higher sales volumes and molybdenum by-product credits.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America mining are expected to approximate $2.30 per pound of copper for the year 2023, based on current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $20.00 per pound of molybdenum.
Indonesia Mining. PT-FI operates one of the world’s largest copper and gold mines at the Grasberg minerals district in Central Papua, Indonesia. PT-FI produces copper concentrate that contains significant quantities of gold and silver. FCX has a 48.76% ownership interest in PT-FI and manages its mining operations. PT-FI's results are consolidated in FCX's financial statements.
Under the terms of agreements entered into in 2018, FCX’s economic interest in PT-FI approximated 81% through 2022, and beginning January 1, 2023, FCX's economic interest in PT-FI is 48.76%. This arrangement was developed to replicate the economics of PT-FI's former joint venture partner interests, which were acquired by the Indonesia government in 2018.
Operating and Development Activities. PT-FI currently has three underground operating mines in the Grasberg minerals district: Grasberg Block Cave, Deep Mill Level Zone (DMLZ) and Big Gossan.
PT-FI's milling rates for ore extracted from its underground mines averaged 198,100 metric tons of ore per day in fourth-quarter 2022. The installation of additional milling facilities at PT-FI is currently expected to be completed in late 2023, which would increase milling capacity to approximately 240,000 metric tons of ore per day to provide for continued annualized copper and gold production volumes of approximately 1.6 billion pounds of copper and 1.6 million ounces of gold. PT-FI is also advancing a mill recovery project with the installation of a new copper cleaner circuit that is expected to be completed in 2024, which is expected to provide incremental metal production of approximately 60 million pounds of copper and 40 thousand ounces of gold per year.
PT-FI's capital spending on the Grasberg Block Cave and DMLZ underground projects, including construction of a dual-fuel power plant, approximated $0.9 billion for the year 2022, which was net of scheduled contributions from PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (Persero) (MIND ID). In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the aggregate costs (before scheduled contributions from MIND ID) approximated $1.1 billion for the year 2022, which are reflected as an investing activity in FCX's cash flow statement and contributions from MIND ID are reflected as a financing activity. Beginning January 1, 2023, capital spending is being shared in accordance with the shareholders' ownership interests.
Kucing Liar. Long-term mine development activities are ongoing for PT-FI's Kucing Liar deposit in the Grasberg minerals district, which is expected to produce over 6 billion pounds of copper and 6 million ounces of gold between 2028 and the end of 2041. Pre-production development activities commenced in 2022 and are expected to continue over an approximate 10-year timeframe. Capital investments are estimated to average approximately $400 million per year over this period (including approximately $470 million for the year 2023). At full operating rates at approximately 90,000 metric tons of ore per day, annual production from Kucing Liar is expected to approximate 550 million pounds of copper and 560 thousand ounces of gold, providing PT-FI with sustained long-term, large-scale and low-cost production. Kucing Liar will benefit from substantial shared infrastructure and PT-FI's experience and long-term success in block-cave mining.
Indonesia Smelter. In connection with PT-FI’s 2018 agreement with the Indonesia government to secure the extension of its long-term mining rights, PT-FI committed to construct additional domestic smelting capacity totaling 2 million metric tons of concentrate per year by the end of 2023 (subject to force majeure provisions). In accordance with Indonesia regulations, PT-FI submits a smelter progress report to the Indonesia government for review every six months.
PT-FI is actively engaged in the following projects for additional domestic smelting capacity:
•Construction of a greenfield smelter in Gresik, Indonesia with a capacity to process approximately 1.7 million metric tons of copper concentrate per year. Smelter construction was approximately 50% complete at December 31, 2022, and is expected to be commissioned during 2024 at an estimated cost of $3.0 billion, including $2.8 billion for a construction contract (excluding capitalized interest, owner’s costs and commissioning) and $0.2 billion for investment in a desalinization plant.
•Expansion of PT Smelting's capacity by 30% to 1.3 million metric tons of copper concentrate per year, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2023. PT-FI is funding the cost of the expansion, estimated to approximate $250 million, with a loan that will convert to equity, increasing ownership in PT Smelting from PT-FI's current 39.5% ownership interest to a majority ownership interest upon project completion. PT-FI will consolidate PT Smelting's results following the increase to a majority ownership.
•Construction of a precious metals refinery (PMR) to process gold and silver from the greenfield smelter and PT Smelting at an estimated cost of $400 million. Construction is in progress with commissioning expected during 2024.
Capital expenditures for the greenfield smelter and PMR (collectively, the Indonesia smelter projects) totaled $0.8 billion for the year 2022, and are expected to approximate $1.8 billion for the year 2023. Capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects are being funded with proceeds received from PT-FI's April 2022 senior notes offering and availability under its revolving credit facility.
Construction of the additional domestic smelter capacity will result in the elimination of export duties, which mitigates the economic cost associated with the Indonesia smelter projects. In late 2022, PT-FI received approval, based on construction progress achieved, for a reduction in export duties from 5% to 2.5%.
Indonesia regulations require PT-FI to renew its export license annually. The current license is scheduled for renewal in March 2023 and PT-FI is preparing its renewal application. PT-FI's special mining license (IUPK) provides that exports may continue through 2023, subject to force majeure considerations. PT-FI will work cooperatively with the Indonesia government to continue exports as required until the smelter is fully commissioned.
Mining Rights. PT-FI and the Indonesia government continue to engage in preliminary discussions regarding the extension of PT-FI's mining rights under its IUPK beyond 2041. PT-FI believes an extension beyond 2041 would enable continuity of operations and the identification of additional resource development opportunities in the Grasberg minerals district.
Operating Data. Following is summary consolidated operating data for Indonesia mining:

PT-FI's consolidated sales of 387 million pounds of copper and 455 thousand ounces of gold in fourth-quarter 2022 were higher than fourth-quarter 2021 consolidated sales of 370 million pounds of copper and 392 thousand ounces of gold, primarily reflecting increased operating rates at the Grasberg minerals district and higher recoveries, partly offset by lower copper ore grades.
Consolidated sales volumes from PT-FI are expected to approximate 1.5 billion pounds of copper and 1.7 million ounces of gold for the year 2023, net of approximately 90 million pounds of copper and 120 thousand ounces of gold from mine production in concentrate form that will be deferred until sale in the form of refined metal. Beginning on January 1, 2023, PT-FI's commercial arrangement with PT Smelting converted to a tolling arrangement. This is not expected to result in a significant change in PT-FI's economics but will impact the timing of PT-FI's sales and working capital requirements during 2023.
PT-FI's unit net cash costs (net of gold and silver credits) of $0.06 per pound of copper in fourth-quarter 2022 were lower than unit net cash costs of $0.08 per pound in fourth-quarter 2021, primarily reflecting higher copper and gold sales volumes, partly offset by higher energy costs and the impact of increased operating rates.
Average unit net cash costs (net of gold and silver credits) for PT-FI are expected to approximate $0.22 per pound of copper for the year 2023, based on achievement of current sales volumes and cost estimates and assuming an average gold price $1,900 per ounce. PT-FI's average unit net cash costs for the year 2023 would change by approximately $0.10 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold.
Molybdenum Mines. FCX operates two wholly owned molybdenum mines in Colorado - the Climax open-pit mine and the Henderson underground mine. The Climax and Henderson mines produce high-purity molybdenum concentrate, which is typically further processed into value-added molybdenum chemical products. The majority of the molybdenum concentrate produced at the Climax and Henderson mines and at FCX's North America and South America copper mines is processed at FCX's conversion facilities.
Operating and Development Activities. Production from the molybdenum mines totaled 10 million pounds of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2022 and was higher than production of 7 million pounds of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2021, primarily reflecting increased mining rates in response to improved market demand for molybdenum. FCX's consolidated molybdenum sales and average realized prices include sales of molybdenum produced at the Molybdenum mines and at FCX's North America and South America copper mines, which are presented on page 3.
During 2022, the molybdenum price averaged $18.82 per pound. Beginning in late 2022, molybdenum prices increased significantly and currently approximate $30 per pound. The increase reflects tight market conditions associated with limitations of available supplies and strong demand. See page 10 for impacts of price changes to operating cash flows.
Average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines of $11.94 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2022 were higher than average unit net cash costs of $9.90 per pound in fourth-quarter 2021, primarily reflecting increased contract labor and higher energy and other input costs, partly offset by higher molybdenum production. Based on current sales volume and cost estimates, average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines are expected to approximate $13.80 per pound of molybdenum for the year 2023.
For a reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in FCX's consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, "Product Revenues and Production Costs," beginning on page XIV.
EXPLORATION
FCX's mining exploration activities are primarily associated with its existing mines, focusing on opportunities to expand reserves and resources to support development of additional future production capacity. Exploration results continue to indicate opportunities for significant future potential reserve additions at FCX's existing properties in North America and South America. Exploration expenditures for the year 2023 are expected to approximate $100 million, compared with $105 million in 2022. FCX plans to advance Lone Star and other opportunities at FCX's North America copper mines.
PRELIMINARY ESTIMATED RECOVERABLE PROVEN AND PROBABLE MINERAL RESERVES AND MINERAL RESOURCES
FCX has significant mineral reserves, mineral resources and future development opportunities within its portfolio of mining assets. FCX's preliminary estimated consolidated recoverable proven and probable mineral reserves from its mines at December 31, 2022, include 111.0 billion pounds of copper, 26.9 million ounces of gold and 3.53 billion pounds of molybdenum, which were determined using metal price assumptions of $3.00 per pound for copper, $1,500 per ounce for gold and $12.00 per pound for molybdenum. The preliminary estimated recoverable proven and probable mineral reserves presented in the table below represent the estimated metal quantities from which FCX expects to be paid after application of estimated metallurgical recovery rates and smelter recovery rates, where applicable. Recoverable mineral reserve volumes are those which FCX estimates can be economically extracted or produced at the time of the mineral reserve determination.

a.Does not foot because of rounding.
In addition to the preliminary estimated consolidated recoverable proven and probable mineral reserves, FCX's preliminary estimated mineral resources (including measured, indicated and inferred resources) at December 31, 2022, which were assessed using $3.50 per pound for copper, totaled 235 billion pounds of incremental contained copper. FCX continues to pursue opportunities to convert this material into mineral reserves, future production volumes and cash flow. See Cautionary Statement below.
LIQUIDITY, CASH FLOWS, CASH AND DEBT
Liquidity. At December 31, 2022, FCX had $8.1 billion in consolidated cash and cash equivalents and $3.0 billion of availability under its revolving credit facility. In addition, PT-FI and Cerro Verde have $1.3 billion and $350 million, respectively, of availability under their respective revolving credit facilities.
Operating Cash Flows. FCX generated operating cash flows of $1.1 billion (net of $0.5 billion of working capital and other uses) in fourth-quarter 2022 and $5.1 billion (net of $1.5 billion of working capital and other uses) for the year 2022.
Based on current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming average prices of $4.00 per pound of copper, $1,900 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum, FCX's consolidated operating cash flows are estimated to approximate $7.2 billion (including $0.1 billion of working capital and other sources) for the year 2023. The impact of price changes during 2023 on operating cash flows would approximate $440 million for each $0.10 per pound change in the average price of copper, $170 million for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $120 million for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures totaled $1.0 billion in fourth-quarter 2022 (including $0.5 billion for major mining projects and $0.3 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects) and $3.5 billion for the year 2022 (including $1.7 billion for major mining projects and $0.8 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects).
Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $5.2 billion for the year 2023 (including $2.3 billion for major mining projects and $1.8 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects). Projected capital expenditures for major mining projects include $1.3 billion for planned projects primarily associated with underground mine development in the Grasberg minerals district and supporting mill and power capital costs and $1.0 billion for discretionary growth projects. Capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects are being funded with the proceeds received from PT-FI's April 2022 senior notes offering and availability under its revolving credit facility.
Cash. Following is a summary of the U.S. and international components of consolidated cash and cash equivalents available to the parent company, excluding cash committed for the Indonesia smelter projects and net of noncontrolling interests' share, taxes and other costs at December 31, 2022 (in billions):

b.Rounds to less than $0.1 billion.
At December 31, 2022, there were no borrowings and $8 million in letters of credit issued under FCX's $3.0 billion revolving credit facility. In October 2022, FCX entered into a new $3.0 billion revolving credit facility that matures in October 2027 and replaced its prior revolving credit facility. The terms of the new facility are substantially similar to FCX's prior facility.
FCX purchased approximately $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of its senior notes in open-market transactions during 2022 for a total cost of $1.0 billion (including $78 million aggregate principal amount in fourth-quarter 2022), resulting in annual cash interest savings of approximately $50 million. During fourth-quarter 2022, FCX recorded a gain on early extinguishment of debt totaling $3 million, primarily associated with its senior note purchases.
FINANCIAL POLICY
FCX's financial policy is aligned with its strategic objectives of maintaining a strong balance sheet and increasing cash returns to shareholders while advancing opportunities for future growth. The policy includes a base dividend and a performance-based payout framework, whereby up to 50% of available cash flows generated after planned capital spending and distributions to noncontrolling interests would be allocated to shareholder returns and the balance to debt reduction and investments in value enhancing growth projects, subject to FCX maintaining its net debt at a level not to exceed the net debt target of $3.0 billion to $4.0 billion (excluding project debt for additional smelting capacity in Indonesia). The Board of Directors (the Board) will review the structure of the performance-based payout framework at least annually.
At December 31, 2022, FCX's net debt, excluding net debt for the Indonesia smelter projects, totaled $1.3 billion. Refer to the supplemental schedule, "Net Debt," on page IX.
On December 21, 2022, FCX declared cash dividends totaling $0.15 per share on its common stock (which included a base cash dividend of $0.075 per share and a variable, performance-based cash dividend of $0.075 per share), which will be paid on February 1, 2023, to shareholders of record as of January 13, 2023. The declaration and payment of dividends (base or variable) is at the discretion of the Board, which will consider FCX's financial results, cash requirements, global economic conditions and other factors it deems relevant.
In July 2022, the Board authorized an increase in the share repurchase program up to $5.0 billion. No shares have been purchased since July 11, 2022. FCX has acquired 47.9 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $1.8 billion ($38.35 average cost per share) under its share repurchase program, including 35.1 million shares for a total cost of $1.3 billion ($38.36 average cost per share) during 2022. As of January 24, 2023, FCX has 1.43 billion shares of common stock outstanding and $3.2 billion is available under its share repurchase program. The timing and amount of share repurchases is at the discretion of management and will depend on a variety of factors. The share repurchase program may be modified, increased, suspended or terminated at any time at the Board’s discretion.

Investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions upon which FCX’s forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after the date the forward-looking statements are made, including for example commodity prices, which FCX cannot control, and production volumes and costs or technological solutions and innovation, some aspects of which FCX may not be able to control. Further, FCX may make changes to its business plans that could affect its results. FCX cautions investors that it undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, notwithstanding any changes in its assumptions, changes in business plans, actual experience or other changes.
Estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources are subject to considerable uncertainty. Such estimates are, to a large extent, based on metal prices for the commodities we produce and interpretations of geologic data, which may not necessarily be indicative of future results or quantities ultimately recovered. This press release also includes forward-looking statements regarding mineral resources not included in proven and probable mineral reserves. A mineral resource, which includes measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources, is a concentration or occurrence of material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, grade or quality, and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction. Such a deposit cannot qualify as recoverable proven and probable mineral reserves until legal and economic feasibility are confirmed based upon a comprehensive evaluation of development and operating costs, grades, recoveries and other material modifying factors. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the estimated mineral resources will become proven and probable mineral reserves.
This press release also contains financial measures such as net debt, adjusted net income and unit net cash costs per pound of copper and molybdenum, which are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As required by SEC Regulation G, reconciliations of these measures to amounts reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements are in the supplemental schedules of this press release.

Freeport-McMoRan Inc.
INCOME TAXES (continued)
On August 16, 2022, the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the Inflation Reduction Act) was signed into law, which includes, among other provisions, a new corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) of 15% on the adjusted financial statement income (AFSI) of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1.0 billion over a three-year period. Additionally, the Inflation Reduction Act imposes a new excise tax of 1% on the fair market value of net corporate stock repurchases. The Inflation Reduction Act had no impact on FCX’s financial statements for the fourth quarter or year ended December 31, 2022. These provisions are applicable to FCX beginning January 1, 2023. FCX continues to analyze the impacts of the Inflation Reduction Act on its future results of operations, including any potential impact for the year 2023.
Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and average prices of $4.00 per pound for copper, $1,900 per ounce for gold and $20.00 per pound for molybdenum, FCX estimates its consolidated effective tax rate for the year 2023 would approximate 33%. Changes in projected sales volumes and average prices during 2023 would incur tax impacts at estimated effective rates of 39% for Peru, 38% for Indonesia and 0% for the U.S., which excludes any potential impact from the Inflation Reduction Act. FCX’s projected estimated effective tax rate of 0% for the U.S. for the year 2023 may be adjusted as additional guidance is released by the U.S. Department of the Treasury on key provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act, including guidance on the CAMT.
NET DEBT
Net debt, which FCX defines as consolidated debt less consolidated cash and cash equivalents, is intended to provide investors with information related to the performance-based payout framework in FCX’s financial policy, which requires achievement of a net debt target in the range of $3 billion to $4 billion (excluding project debt for additional smelting capacity in Indonesia). This information differs from consolidated debt determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for consolidated debt determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. FCX's net debt, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies follows (in billions):

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
For the year 2022, FCX's mined copper was sold 61% in concentrate, 18% as cathode and 21% as rod from North America operations. Substantially all of FCX's 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 London Metal Exchange (LME) monthly average copper prices. FCX records revenues and invoices customers at the time of shipment based on then-current LME prices, which results in an embedded derivative on provisionally priced concentrate and cathode sales that is adjusted to fair value through earnings each period, using the period-end forward prices, until final pricing on the date of settlement. LME copper settlement prices averaged $3.63 per pound during fourth-quarter 2022 and settled at $3.80 per pound on December 30, 2022. Because a significant portion of FCX's copper concentrate and cathode sales in any quarterly period usually remain subject to final pricing, the quarter-end forward price is a major determinant of the average recorded copper price for the period. FCX's average realized copper price was $3.77 per pound in fourth-quarter 2022.

b.Reflects adjustments to provisionally priced copper sales for the years 2022 and 2021.
At December 31, 2022, FCX had provisionally priced copper sales at its copper mining operations totaling 535 million pounds of copper (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average price of $3.80 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. FCX estimates that each $0.05 change in the price realized from the quarter-end provisional price would have an approximate $40 million effect on 2023 revenues ($13 million to net income attributable to common stock). The LME copper price settled at $4.22 per pound on January 24, 2023.
DEFERRED PROFITS
FCX defers recognizing profits on sales from its mining operations to Atlantic Copper and on 39.5% of PT-FI's sales to PT Smelting (PT-FI's 39.5% owned Indonesia smelting unit) until final sales to third parties occur. Changes in these deferrals attributable to variability in intercompany volumes resulted in net (reductions) additions to operating income totaling $(21) million ($(4) million to net income attributable to common stock) in fourth-quarter 2022, $(44) million ($(10) million to net income attributable to common stock) in fourth-quarter 2021, $52 million ($33 million to net income attributable to common stock) for the year 2022 and $(188) million ($(106) million to net income attributable to common stock) for the year 2021. FCX's net deferred profits on its inventories at Atlantic Copper and PT Smelting to be recognized in future periods' operating income totaled $250 million at December 31, 2022. Quarterly variations in ore grades, the timing of intercompany shipments and changes in product prices will result in variability in FCX's net deferred profits and quarterly earnings.
Beginning January 1, 2023, PT-FI's commercial arrangement with PT Smelting converted to a tolling arrangement. Under this arrangement, PT-FI pays PT Smelting a tolling fee to smelt and refine its concentrate and PT-FI retains title to all products for sale to third parties (i.e., no further sales to PT Smelting).
NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests totaled $1.0 billion for the year 2022, which represented 15% of FCX's consolidated income before income taxes. Under the terms of the agreements entered into in 2018, FCX’s economic interest in PT-FI approximated 81% through 2022, and beginning January 1, 2023, is 48.76%. As a result, beginning in 2023, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests will reflect the noncontrolling parties' 51.24% share of PT-FI net income. Based on current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming average prices of $4.00 per pound for copper, $1,900 per ounce for gold and $20.00 per pound for molybdenum and taking into account the change in FCX’s economic interest in PT-FI, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is estimated to approximate 29% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes for the year 2023. The actual percentage will depend on many factors, including relative performance of each business segment, commodity prices, costs and other factors.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS
FCX has organized its mining operations into four primary divisions – North America copper mines, South America mining, Indonesia mining and Molybdenum mines, and operating segments that meet certain thresholds are reportable segments. Separately disclosed in the following tables are FCX's reportable segments, which include the Morenci and Cerro Verde copper mines, the Grasberg minerals district (Indonesia Mining), the Rod & Refining operations and Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining.
Intersegment sales between FCX’s business segments are based on terms similar to arms-length transactions with third parties at the time of the sale. Intersegment sales may not be reflective of the actual prices ultimately realized because of a variety of factors, including additional processing, the timing of sales to unaffiliated customers and transportation premiums.
FCX allocates certain operating costs, expenses and capital expenditures to its operating divisions and individual segments. However, not all costs and expenses applicable to an operation are allocated. U.S. federal and state income taxes are recorded and managed at the corporate level (included in Corporate, Other & Eliminations), whereas foreign income taxes are recorded and managed at the applicable country level. In addition, most mining exploration and research activities are managed on a consolidated basis, and those costs along with some selling, general and administrative costs, are not allocated to the operating divisions or individual segments. Accordingly, the following segment information reflects management determinations that may not be indicative of what the actual financial performance of each operating division or segment would be if it was an independent entity.

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