New in FY2022

- Changes in tax laws and regulations.

New in FY2022

Beginning in 2020 with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and continuing in 2022 because of a series of macro-economic factors, there has been significant volatility in the financial and commodities markets, including the copper market.

New in FY2022

Copper prices reached a record high of $4.87 per pound in first-quarter 2022 but dropped to a 2022 low of $3.18 in third-quarter 2022.

New in FY2022

For

New in FY2022

additional information regarding recent macro-economic factors, see risk factor below regarding the price and availability of consumables and components we purchase and constraints on supply and logistics, and transportation services.

New in FY2022

In addition to the factors discussed above, copper prices may be affected by demand from China, which is currently the largest consumer of refined copper in the world, including as a result of geopolitical uncertainty between the U.S. and China as well as uncertainties about China’s economy, including its COVID-19 policies.

New in FY2022

The adoption and expansion of trade restrictions, changes in China-U.S. relations, or other governmental action related to tariffs or trade agreements or policies are difficult to predict and could adversely affect copper prices, demand for our products, our costs, our customers, our suppliers, and the U.S. economy, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

New in FY2022

Consumables and components for key machines and equipment we purchase are subject to price volatility caused by global economic factors that are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, wage pressures, rising inflation and potential economic slowdown or recession, as well as fuel and energy costs (for example, the price of diesel), the impact of natural disasters, public health crises (such as COVID-19), geopolitical conflicts (such as the conflict in Ukraine), and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, and other matters that have or could impact the global economy.

New in FY2022

These prices fluctuate and can be volatile.

New in FY2022

In 2022, we experienced price increases on certain consumables, including diesel fuel and coal, ammonium nitrate and sulfuric acid, grinding media and certain components.

New in FY2022

The cost increases have negatively impacted our operating results and further increases could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and could result in material changes to our operating plans.

New in FY2022

Additional increases may occur in 2023 because of macroeconomic conditions discussed above, and such increases may be material.

New in FY2022

In 2022, we experienced longer lead times and logistical constraints on delivery of certain consumables, including fuel, lubricants, ammonium nitrate, cobalt sulfate, acid mist suppressant and acid.

New in FY2022

Further, delays and logistical constraints may occur as a result of violence, civil and religious strife, and activism, as described in the related risk factor below.

New in FY2022

There continue to be global shipping and logistics challenges, which began during the COVID-19 pandemic.

New in FY2022

affect the value of our outstanding securities and existing debt, our ability to obtain new financing on favorable terms and could increase our borrowing costs.

New in FY2022

Changes in tax laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

New in FY2022

As a global business, we are subject to income, royalty, transaction and other taxes in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions.

New in FY2022

Uncertainties exist with respect to our tax liabilities, including those arising from changes in laws in the countries in which we do business.

New in FY2022

In August 2022, the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the Act) was signed into law, which includes, among other provisions, a new Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) of 15% on the adjusted financial statement income (AFSI) of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1.0 billion over a three-year period.

New in FY2022

The provisions of the Act are applicable to us beginning January 1, 2023.

New in FY2022

Additional guidance related to how the CAMT provisions of the Act will be applied or otherwise administered is yet to be released by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and may differ from our interpretations.

New in FY2022

We will continue to analyze the impacts as additional guidance becomes available.

New in FY2022

We expect the CAMT provisions will impact our U.S. tax position, and may further limit our ability to benefit from our U.S. NOLs.

New in FY2022

We are also continuing to monitor the progress of Chile’s proposed mining royalty changes and their impact on future operations.

New in FY2022

- The risk of having to submit to the jurisdiction of an international court or arbitration panel or having to enforce the judgment of an international court or arbitration panel against a sovereign nation within its own territory.

New in FY2022

including PT-FI, to conduct mining activities in Indonesia under a contract of work system.

New in FY2022

PT-FI’s current export license remains valid through March 19, 2023.

New in FY2022

Refer to Note 12 for further discussion of the administrative fine paid by PT-FI to the Indonesia government in March 2022 for failing to achieve physical development progress on the greenfield smelter.

New in FY2022

PT Smelting’s export license for anode slimes expires on November 3, 2023.

New in FY2022

As discussed in Note 3, beginning in January 2023, PT-FI’s commercial arrangement with PT Smelting converted to a tolling arrangement, under which PT-FI pays PT Smelting a tolling fee to smelt and refine its concentrate and will retain title to all products for sales to third parties.

New in FY2022

Notwithstanding PT-FI’s rights to export copper concentrate through 2023 under its IUPK (subject to force majeure considerations), its current copper concentrate export license and PT Smelting’s current anode slimes export license, PT-FI may not be able to obtain administrative approval for such exports if the Indonesia government bans exports of copper concentrate and anode slimes prior to completion of the greenfield smelter and precious metals refinery (PMR).

New in FY2022

Recent press reports have indicated that the Indonesia government is considering a ban of copper concentrate exports effective in June 2023 under regulations that were issued in 2020 and 2021.

New in FY2022

In addition, PT Smelting exports may also be restricted (contrary to the expiration date of PT Smelting’s current export license noted above).

New in FY2022

If such limitations on exports were to be instituted prior to PT-FI’s greenfield smelter and PMR becoming operational (currently expected in 2024), PT-FI would be required to reduce production levels or be subject to additional costs.

New in FY2022

In 2022, the Indonesia government divided the Indonesia portion of the island of New Guinea from two provinces into a total of six provinces, which has resulted in public protest and civil unrest.

New in FY2022

For further discussion of violence, civil and religious strife, and activism affecting our operations in Indonesia, see the related risk factor below.

New in FY2022

Further, we cannot predict the impact of splitting provinces on local and regional regulations, permits and other governmental administrative functions, which could have an adverse impact on our business.

New in FY2022

In 2024, Indonesia will hold national legislative elections.

New in FY2022

The presidential election will be held in February 2024.

On November 14, 2018, the Special Master for the Gila River adjudication issued a final decision rejecting ADWR’s recommended cone of depression test, [removed: instead] adopting our position that a numeric model capable of accounting for complexities of the aquifer system should be used.

Rewritten

[removed: The] [added: However, the] Special Master [removed: also] confirmed that the cone of depression test [removed: instead] would be [removed: an] [added: the] initial test for determining which wells are subject to the adjudications, rather than proving that a well is pumping subflow or establishing how much of a well’s water production is subflow.

Rewritten

Such matters will be determined by a subsequent “subflow depletion test,” which [removed: has not yet been formulated.][added: is expected to be proposed by ADWR in 2023.]

Rewritten

[removed: Some] [added: While some] of our adversaries objected to the Special Master’s final decision, [removed: and] [added: in July 2022,] the Arizona Superior Court [removed: heard oral argument on] [added: issued a decision affirming] the [removed: objections] [added: Special Master’s decision] in [removed: February 2020.][added: all respects.]

Rewritten

In [removed: response to the Special Master’s decision, in] December 2018, ADWR submitted its initial report on the “subflow depletion test,” [removed: which] [added: noting that the test] will specify the methodology a well owner must use to quantify the portion of the water drawn from a well that is subflow as opposed to [removed: groundwater; however, ADWR remains in the process of developing its proposed subflow depletion test.][added: groundwater.]

Rewritten

We, along with the other parties, will have the opportunity to provide [removed: input] [added: inputs] throughout the process.

Rewritten

[removed: The first] [added: An] issue litigated [added: in the 2018 proceeding] concerned whether for the subflow depletion test the subflow zone should be represented in the numeric model as extending only as deep as the bottom of the floodplain alluvium or extend all the way down to bedrock.

Rewritten

In proceedings separate from the development of the [added: subflow] depletion test, in June 2020, the Special Master designated legal questions to be resolved concerning a well owner’s ability to obtain a surface water right for subsurface water that, while initially believed to be non-appropriable groundwater, is ultimately determined to be appropriable subflow.

Rewritten

In April 2021, the Special Master ruled that, for uses initiated after enactment of the 1919 permitting statute, a well owner may not pursue a surface water right [added: for subsurface water now] unless the well owner filed an application for a permit to [removed: appropriate.][added: appropriate prior to initiating the water use.]

Rewritten

These claims are related to reservations of federal land for specific purposes [removed: (e.g.,] [added: (*e.g.,*] Indian reservations, national parks, military bases and wilderness areas).

Rewritten

[removed: Because federal reserved water rights have not yet been quantified, the task of] determining how much water each federal reservation may use has been left to the Arizona Superior Court handling the Gila River adjudication.

Rewritten

Several “contested cases” to quantify reserved water rights for particular federal reservations in Arizona are currently pending with only [removed: one] [added: two] resolved at this time.

Rewritten

[removed: That case,] [added: The first resolved decision was issued in] In re Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness Area, [added: which] was to resolve the U.S.’s claims to water for the Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness Area.

Rewritten

The [removed: case was tried in 2015 and the] court issued a decision in December 2018 supportive of our position on almost all issues, [removed: including rejection of] [added: rejecting the] U.S.’s [removed: core] argument that wilderness areas are entitled to all water that was not appropriated [added: at the time the reservation was created.]

Rewritten

[removed: We] [added: The U.S. declined to pursue an interlocutory appeal in either of the In re Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness Area or In re Redfield Canyon Wilderness Area cases, and we] believe the rulings in [removed: this case] [added: those cases] will support our positions in other pending federal reserved water right cases, [removed: including these:] [added: including:] In re Fort Huachuca, which involves the U.S.’s claims to water for an Arizona army base and is awaiting a decision following a trial which concluded in February 2017; [removed: In re Redfield Canyon Wilderness Area, which involves the U.S.’s claims to water for another wilderness area] and [removed: is awaiting a decision following a trial which concluded in May 2017; and] In re San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area, which involves the U.S.’s claims to water for a national conservation area and is awaiting a decision following a trial which concluded in May 2018.

Rewritten

If we are not able to satisfactorily resolve the issues being addressed in the adjudications, our ability to pump groundwater could be diminished or curtailed, and our operations [added: and any future expansions] at Morenci, Safford (including Lone Star) and Sierrita could be adversely affected unless we are able to acquire alternative water resources.

New in FY2022

While we do not have any active mining operations in the Verde River watershed that would be impacted by this phase of the adjudication, we filed a set of limited objections on issues that could set a precedent for other watersheds in Arizona that could have material implications for many users of groundwater, including our Arizona operations, and our objections have not been resolved.

New in FY2022

No party has appealed that decision.

New in FY2022

The Special Master has ordered ADWR to schedule meetings in 2023 to discuss progress on developments of the test, with a deadline of December 2023 for ADWR’s report setting forth its proposed depletion test.

New in FY2022

Objections to such report are expected to be due in February 2024.

New in FY2022

No party has appealed that decision, and we expect the guidance from the Special Master’s order to be reflected in ADWR’s subflow depletion test report (due December 2023).

New in FY2022

We, along with allied parties, have objected to the Special Master’s ruling and are awaiting further proceedings before the Arizona Superior Court.

New in FY2022

Regardless of the outcome in the Arizona Superior Court, we anticipate this issue will be appealed to the Arizona Supreme Court.

The second resolved decision was issued in In re Redfield Canyon Wilderness Area, which was another case to resolve claims for a wilderness area.

New in FY2022

The court issued its decision in August 2022 supportive of our position on almost all issues, denying the U.S.’s federal reserved water rights claims for the wilderness area.

New in FY2022

In January 2023, the U.S. filed several federal reserved water rights claims for federal reservations in portions of the Verde River watershed, and we anticipate that the Special Master will establish litigation schedules to resolve the claims for those reservations.

Dropped from FY2021

We do not have any active mining operations in the Verde watershed that would be impacted by this phase of the adjudication.

Dropped from FY2021

This issue remains under advisement with the Arizona Superior Court.

For the year 2022, the London Metal Exchange (LME) copper settlement prices ranged from a high of $4.87 per pound in March (record high) to a low for the year of $3.18 per pound in July, closed at $3.80 per pound on December 30, 2022, and averaged $3.99 per pound.

New in FY2022

Current physical market conditions are strong as evidenced by low levels of global exchange stocks.

New in FY2022

FCX's global customer base reports continued healthy demand for copper.

New in FY2022

Improved market sentiment beginning in late 2022 was associated with prospects for improved demand from China, rising demand from global decarbonization initiatives, supply constraints, U.S. dollar exchange rates and low inventories.

New in FY2022

Despite near-term uncertainties in the global economy and potential volatility in the copper market, we believe the outlook for copper fundamentals in the medium- and long-term are favorable, with third-party studies indicating that demand for copper may double in 15 years as a result of global decarbonization trends.

New in FY2022

New in FY2022

Our execution led to growth in consolidated copper and gold production and sales volumes when compared to the prior year.

New in FY2022

Despite lower average realized copper prices, increased production and delivery costs, and economic uncertainty, we continued to generate positive operating income and operating cash flows.

New in FY2022

We believe the actions we have taken in recent years to build a solid balance sheet, successfully expand low-cost operations, and maintain flexible organic growth options while maintaining liquidity allow us to continue to execute our business plans in a prudent manner and preserve substantial future asset values.

New in FY2022

At December 31, 2022, we had consolidated debt of $10.6 billion and consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $8.1 billion, resulting in net debt of $2.5 billion ($1.3 billion excluding net debt for the greenfield smelter and precious metals refinery (PMR) in Indonesia - collectively, the Indonesia smelter projects).

New in FY2022

During 2022, we purchased approximately $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of our senior notes in open-market transactions for a total cost of $1.0 billion, resulting in annual cash interest savings of approximately $50 million.

New in FY2022

In October 2022, we entered into a $3.0 billion revolving credit facility that matures in October 2027 and replaced our prior revolving credit facility.

New in FY2022

During 2022, we acquired 35.1 million shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program for a total cost of $1.3 billion ($38.36 average cost per share) and declared cash dividends totaling $0.60 per share on our common stock (which included both base and variable, performance-based cash dividends).

New in FY2022

Approximately $3.2 billion remains available under our $5.0 billion share repurchase program.

New in FY2022

Beginning in 2020, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and continuing in 2022 because of a series of macro-economic factors, there has been significant volatility in the financial and commodities markets, including the copper market.

New in FY2022

Market sentiment improved beginning in late 2022 and we believe the outlook for copper fundamentals in the medium- and long-term are favorable.

New in FY2022

Refer to “Markets” and Item 1A.

New in FY2022

In addition, to the measures noted below and as further discussed in Note 3, beginning January 1, 2023, our economic interest in PT-FI changes from approximately 81% to 48.76%, and accordingly, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is expected to increase in 2023.

New in FY2022

Since February 11, 2023, PT-FI’s operations have been temporarily disrupted because of significant rainfall and landslides, which restricted access to infrastructure near its milling operations.

New in FY2022

Recovery activities are in progress to clear debris from the affected areas and PT-FI is in the process of gradually resuming operations.

New in FY2022

Operations are expected to be fully restored by the end of February 2023.

New in FY2022

As a result of this disruption, we expect our first-quarter 2023 sales volumes to be lower than previously expected.

New in FY2022

If PT-FI is not able to resume operations as currently expected or on our anticipated timeline, our results of operations may be further impacted.

New in FY2022

Our operations have been impacted by inflationary cost pressures, including increased costs for energy, sulfuric acid, and maintenance and supplies.

New in FY2022

Historically, copper prices have been correlated to various input costs, including energy and other commodity-related consumables.

New in FY2022

During 2022, prices for a number of commodity-related consumables increased at a time when copper prices declined.

New in FY2022

While prices for a number of commodity-related consumables have retreated from the highs of 2022, most cost elements remain high relative to long-term correlations.

New in FY2022

In addition, labor constraints, particularly in the U.S., continue to limit production levels.

New in FY2022

We plan to continue to carefully manage costs and drive efficiencies to mitigate cost increases.

New in FY2022

The impact of price changes

New in FY2022

Capital expenditures for the year 2023 are expected to approximate $5.2 billion (including $2.3 billion for major mining projects and $1.8 billion for the Indonesia smelter projects).

New in FY2022

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 (primarily for development of Kucing Liar, a mill recovery project with the installation of a new copper cleaner circuit at PT-FI, an electronic material recycle project at Atlantic Copper and an expansion project at Lone Star).

New in FY2022

We closely monitor market conditions and will continue to adjust our operating plans, including capital expenditures, to protect our liquidity and preserve our asset values, as necessary.

New in FY2022

Capital expenditures for the Indonesia smelter projects are being funded with proceeds from PT-FI's senior notes and its available revolving credit facility.

New in FY2022

Noncontrolling Interests

New in FY2022

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is primarily associated with PT-FI, Cerro Verde and El Abra and totaled $1.0 billion for the year 2022 (which represented 15% of our consolidated income before income taxes).

New in FY2022

As further described in Note 3, in December 2018, we completed the transaction with the Indonesia government regarding PT-FI’s long-term mining rights and share ownership (the 2018 Transaction).

New in FY2022

The arrangements related to the 2018 Transaction provided for us and the other pre-transaction PT-FI shareholders to initially retain the economics of the revenue and cost sharing arrangements under the former unincorporated joint venture with Rio Tinto plc (Rio Tinto).

New in FY2022

As a result, our economic interest in PT-FI approximated 81% through 2022, and beginning January 1, 2023, is 48.76% (refer to Note 3 for further discussion of attribution of PT-FI net income).

New in FY2022

Therefore, beginning in 2023, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests will reflect the noncontrolling parties' 51.24% share of PT-FI net income.

New in FY2022

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 and taking into account the change in our economic interest in PT-FI, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is estimated to approximate $2.3 billion for the year 2023 (which would represent 29% of our consolidated income before income taxes).

New in FY2022

The actual amount will depend on many factors, including relative performance of each business segment, commodity prices, costs and other factors.

New in FY2022

“Risk Factors” contained in Part I of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

New in FY2022

| *Description of the Matter* | | | As discussed in Note [removed: 11] [added: 12] to the consolidated financial statements, the Company operates in the United States and multiple international tax jurisdictions, and its income tax returns are subject to examination by tax authorities in those jurisdictions who may challenge any tax position on these returns. Uncertainty in a tax position may arise because tax laws are subject to interpretation. The Company uses significant judgment to (1) determine whether, based on the technical merits, a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained and (2) measure the amount of tax benefit that qualifies for recognition. | | | | | | | | | | | |

Rewritten

| | | | Our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the Company’s accounting for these tax positions by using our knowledge of and experience with the application of respective tax laws by the relevant tax authorities, or our understanding of the contractual arrangements with the applicable government, if the position is governed by a contract. We analyzed the Company’s assumptions and data used to determine the tax assessments and tested the accuracy of the calculations. We involved our tax professionals located in the respective jurisdictions to assess the technical merits of the Company’s tax positions and to evaluate the application of relevant tax laws in the Company’s recognition determination. We assessed the Company’s correspondence with the relevant tax authorities and evaluated third-party tax or legal opinions obtained by the Company. We also evaluated the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures included in [removed: Note] [added: Notes 11 and] 12 in relation to these tax matters. | | | | | |

| *Description of the Matter* | | | As discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is subject to national, state and local environmental laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment, including restoration and reclamation of environmental contamination. Liabilities for environmental contingencies are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At December 31, [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] the Company’s consolidated environmental obligations totaled $1.7 billion. | | | | | |

Rewritten

| | | | Auditing management’s accounting for environmental obligations was [removed: challenging, as] [added: challenging because] significant judgment [removed: is] [added: was] required by the Company to [removed: evaluate whether an environmental loss has been incurred and to] estimate the future costs to remediate the environmental matters. The significant judgment was primarily due to the inherent estimation uncertainty relating to the amount of future costs. Such uncertainties involve assumptions regarding the nature and extent of contamination at each site, the nature and extent of required cleanup efforts under existing environmental regulations, the duration and effectiveness of the chosen remedial strategy, and allocation of costs among other potentially responsible parties. Actual costs incurred in future periods could differ from amounts estimated. | | | | | |

Rewritten

| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | | | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s [removed: identification and] measurement of the environmental loss contingencies. For example, we tested controls over management’s review of the environmental loss contingency calculations and management’s assessment to evaluate key judgments and estimates affecting the environmental loss contingencies. | | | | | |

Rewritten

| | | | To test the Company’s [removed: identification and] measurement of the environmental loss contingencies, among other procedures, we inspected correspondence with regulatory agencies, obtained external legal counsel confirmation letters, and inspected environmental studies. Additionally, we assessed the appropriateness of the Company’s models and tested the significant assumptions discussed above along with the underlying data used by the Company in its analyses. We utilized our environmental professionals to search for new or contrary evidence related to the Company’s sites and to assist in evaluating the reasonableness of estimated future costs by comparing the estimated future costs to environmental permits, third party observable data such as vendor quotes, and to historical costs incurred for similar activities. | | | | | |
