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 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, 2024 (2024 Form 10-K). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported. All such adjustments are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. Dollar amounts in tables are stated in millions, except per share amounts.
Subsequent Events. FCX evaluated events after March 31, 2025, and through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and determined any events and transactions occurring during this period that would require recognition or disclosure are appropriately addressed in these consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
FCX calculates its basic net income per share of common stock under the two-class method and calculates its diluted net income per share of common stock using the more dilutive of the two-class method or the treasury-stock method. Basic net income per share of common stock was computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders (after deducting accumulated undistributed dividends and earnings allocated to participating securities) by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share of common stock was calculated by including the basic weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding adjusted for the effects of all potential dilutive shares of common stock, unless their effect would be antidilutive.
Reconciliations of net income and weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income per share follow:
| Three Months Ended | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| March 31, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net income | $ | 793 | $ | 1,162 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Undistributed dividends and earnings allocated to participating securities | (6) | (5) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net income attributable to common stockholders | $ | 346 | $ | 468 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basic weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding | 1,438 | 1,436 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Add shares issuable upon exercise or vesting of dilutive stock options and restricted stock units | 6 | 8 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding | 1,444 | 1,444 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net income per share attributable to common stockholders: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basic | $ | 0.24 | $ | 0.33 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Diluted | $ | 0.24 | $ | 0.32 |
Shares associated with outstanding stock options with exercise prices greater than the average market price of FCX’s common stock during the period are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share of common stock. There were no shares of common stock associated with outstanding stock options excluded in either of the periods shown above.
NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES
Geographic sources of FCX’s benefit (provision) for income taxes follow:
| Three Months Ended | ||||||||||||||
| March 31, | ||||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||||||||
| U.S. | $ | 2 | $ | (1) | ||||||||||
| International | (502) | (511) | ||||||||||||
| Total | $ | (500) | $ | (512) |
FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate is a function of the various rates in the jurisdictions where it operates and was 39% for first-quarter 2025 and 31% for first-quarter 2024. The first-quarter 2024 effective income tax rate reflects net benefits of $182 million related to closure of PT Freeport Indonesia’s (PTFI) 2021 corporate income tax audit and resolution of the framework for Indonesia disputed tax matters.
During first-quarter 2025, FCX’s U.S. operations generated a net loss that will not result in a realized tax benefit, accordingly, applicable accounting rules require FCX to adjust its estimated effective tax rate to exclude the impact of U.S. net losses.
NOTE 4. DEBT AND EQUITY
The components of debt follow:

a.Includes short-term lines of credit used for working capital requirements, with interest rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a spread.
Revolving Credit Facilities. FCX and PTFI have a $3.0 billion, unsecured revolving credit facility that matures in October 2027. Under the terms of the revolving credit facility, FCX may obtain loans and issue letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $3.0 billion, with a $1.5 billion sublimit on the issuance of letters of credit and a $500 million limit on PTFI’s borrowing capacity. At March 31, 2025, there were no borrowings and $5 million in letters of credit issued under FCX’s revolving credit facility.
At March 31, 2025, PTFI had $250 million in borrowings outstanding under its $1.75 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that matures in November 2028, and Cerro Verde had no borrowings outstanding under its $350 million unsecured revolving credit facility that matures in May 2027.
At March 31, 2025, FCX, PTFI and Cerro Verde were in compliance with each of their respective credit facility’s covenants.
Interest Expense, Net. Consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) totaled $174 million in first-quarter 2025 and $175 million in first-quarter 2024.
Capitalized interest added to property, plant, equipment and mine development costs, net, totaled $104 million in first-quarter 2025 and $86 million in first-quarter 2024. The increase in capitalized interest costs in first-quarter 2025, compared to first-quarter 2024, primarily related to mine development projects in the U.S. and PTFI’s new smelter and precious metals refinery (collectively, PTFI’s new downstream processing facilities).
Share Repurchase Program and Dividends. In first-quarter 2025, FCX acquired 1.4 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $55 million ($39.10 average cost per share), and in April 2025, FCX acquired an additional 0.8 million shares of its common stock ($29.48 average cost per share). As of April 30, 2025, FCX has acquired a total of 51 million shares ($38.50 average cost per share), has $3.0 billion available under its share repurchase program and has 1.4 billion shares of common stock outstanding.
On March 26, 2025, FCX’s Board of Director’s (Board) declared cash dividends totaling $0.15 per share on its common stock (including a $0.075 per share quarterly base cash dividend and a $0.075 per share quarterly variable, performance-based cash dividend), which were paid on May 1, 2025, to common shareholders of record as of April 15, 2025.
The declaration and payment of dividends (base or variable) and timing and amount of any share repurchases are at the discretion of FCX’s Board and management, respectively, and are subject to a number of factors, including not exceeding FCX’s net debt target, capital availability, FCX’s financial results, cash requirements, global economic conditions, changes in laws, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by FCX’s Board or management, as applicable. FCX’s share repurchase program may be modified, increased, suspended or terminated at any time at the Board’s discretion.
NOTE 5. 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.
A discussion of FCX’s derivative contracts and programs follows.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Fair Value Hedges.
Copper Futures and Swap Contracts. Some of FCX’s North America 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 first-quarter 2025 and 2024. At March 31, 2025, FCX held copper futures and swap contracts that qualified for hedge accounting for 118 million pounds at an average contract price of $4.64 per pound, with maturities through December 2026.
Summary of Gains (Losses). A summary of realized and unrealized gains (losses) recognized in revenues for derivative financial instruments related to commodity contracts that are designated and qualify as fair value hedge transactions, including on the related hedged item follows:

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments.
Embedded Derivatives. Certain FCX sales contracts provide for provisional pricing primarily based on the London Metal Exchange (LME) copper settlement 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 copper settlement price and the London gold price as specified in the contracts, which results in an embedded derivative (i.e., a pricing mechanism that is finalized after the time of delivery) that is required to be bifurcated from the host contract. The host contract is the sale of the metals contained in the concentrate, cathode or anode slimes at the then-current LME copper settlement or London gold prices. 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, cathode and anode slime 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 copper forward price and the adjusted London gold price, until the date of final pricing. Similarly, FCX purchases copper under contracts that provide for provisional pricing. Mark-to-market price fluctuations from these embedded derivatives are recorded through the settlement date and are reflected in revenues for sales contracts and in inventory for purchase contracts.
A summary of FCX’s embedded derivatives at March 31, 2025, follows:
| Open Positions | Average Price Per Unit | Maturities Through | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Contract | Market | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Embedded derivatives in provisional sales contracts: | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| Embedded derivatives in provisional purchase contracts: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Copper (millions of pounds) | 55 | 4.31 | 4.39 | June 2025 |
Copper Forward Contracts. Atlantic Copper, FCX’s wholly owned smelting and refining unit in Spain, enters into copper forward contracts designed to hedge its copper price risk whenever its physical purchases and sales pricing periods do not match. These economic hedge transactions are intended to hedge against changes in copper prices, with the mark-to-market hedging gains or losses recorded in production and delivery costs. At March 31, 2025, Atlantic Copper held net copper forward sales contracts for 97 million pounds at an average contract price of $4.42 per pound, with maturities through June 2025.
Summary of Gains (Losses). A summary of realized and unrealized gains (losses) recognized in operating income for commodity contracts that do not qualify as hedge transactions, including embedded derivatives, follows:

FCX’s commodity contracts have netting arrangements with counterparties with which the right of offset exists, and it is FCX’s policy to generally offset balances by contract on its balance sheet. FCX’s embedded derivatives on provisional sales/purchase contracts are netted with the corresponding outstanding receivable/payable balances.
A summary of these unsettled commodity contracts that are offset in the balance sheets follows:

Credit Risk. FCX is exposed to credit loss when financial institutions with which it has entered into derivative transactions (commodity, foreign exchange and interest rate swaps) are unable to pay. To minimize the risk of such losses, FCX uses counterparties that meet certain credit requirements and periodically reviews the creditworthiness of these counterparties. As of March 31, 2025, the maximum amount of credit exposure associated with derivative transactions was $114 million.
Other Financial Instruments. Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investment securities, legally restricted trust assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued income taxes, dividends payable and debt. The carrying value for these financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities approximates fair value because of their short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses (refer to Note 6 for the fair values of investment securities, legally restricted funds and debt).
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents. The following table provides a reconciliation of total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows:

Refer to Note 7 for further discussion of these matters.
NOTE 6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Fair value accounting guidance includes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). FCX did not have any significant transfers in or out of Level 3 during first-quarter 2025.
FCX’s financial instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value except for debt and contingent consideration associated with the sale of oil and gas properties (which was recorded under the loss recovery approach). 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 and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued income taxes and dividends payable (refer to Note 5), follows:

c.Refer to Note 5 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. The U.S. core fixed income fund is valued at NAV. The fund strategy seeks total return consisting of income and capital appreciation primarily by investing in a broad range of investment-grade debt securities, including U.S. government obligations, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and money market instruments. There are no restrictions on redemptions (which are usually within one business day of notice).
Equity securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded and, as such, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fixed income securities (government securities, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and collateralized mortgage-backed securities) 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 copper forward price and the adjusted London gold price at each reporting date based on the month of maturity (refer to Note 5 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 5 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.
Debt 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 NRV or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while FCX believes its valuation techniques are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different techniques or assumptions to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the techniques used at March 31, 2025, as compared with those techniques used at December 31, 2024.
NOTE 7. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
Litigation
There were no significant updates to previously reported legal proceedings included in Note 10 of FCX’s 2024 Form 10-K, other than the matter discussed below.
Asbestos and Talc Claims. In January 2025, the claimants in both the Imerys Talc America (Imerys) and Cyprus Mines Corporation (Cyprus Mines), bankruptcy cases approved a global settlement, which remains subject to bankruptcy court approvals in both cases. In accordance with the global settlement, Cyprus Amax Minerals Company (CAMC), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of FCX and Cyprus Mines’ parent company, agreed to contribute $195 million over seven years to a proposed claimant trust.
In addition, in 2024, Cyprus Mines and Imerys entered into a settlement agreement with Johnson & Johnson (J&J), which became effective in February 2025. In accordance with the settlement agreement, (i) all indemnity claims against J&J were released, and Imerys and Cyprus Mines waived claims against insurers that could lead to the insurers asserting claims against J&J; and (ii) J&J agreed to pay $505 million to Imerys and Cyprus Mines (shared 50/50 between the two parties). In accordance with the settlement, Cyprus Mines received cash of $202 million in first-quarter 2025, with the remaining $51 million to be received by December 31, 2025.
At March 31, 2025, FCX had a total litigation reserve of $448 million associated with the global settlement, including $253 million associated with the J&J settlement.
Indonesia Regulatory Matters
Refer to Notes 10, 11 and 12 of FCX’s 2024 Form 10-K for further discussion of Indonesia regulatory matters.
Concentrate Exports. On March 17, 2025, the Indonesia government granted PTFI a copper concentrate export license through September 16, 2025, for 1.4 million metric tons of copper concentrate, and PTFI re-commenced exports of copper concentrate. Pursuant to current regulations, PTFI is required to pay a 7.5% export duty on copper concentrate exports during 2025.
Export Proceeds. In accordance with a regulation issued by the Indonesia government in 2023, 30% of PTFI’s gross export proceeds were required to be temporarily deposited into Indonesia banks for a period of 90 days before withdrawal. At March 31, 2025, FCX had $0.3 billion in time deposits held in Indonesia banks associated with the regulation that are classified as current restricted cash and cash equivalents until the respective maturity dates.
Effective March 1, 2025, the Indonesia government implemented a new regulation for export proceeds that requires 100% of export proceeds to be deposited in Indonesia banks for 12 months. The regulation allows the use of funds for ongoing business requirements, including dividends to shareholders, payment of taxes and other obligations to the Indonesia government, payment for materials or capital expenditures that are not available domestically and repayment of loans. Because PTFI has the ability to utilize its exports proceeds to fund business requirements, amounts deposited after March 1, 2025, are not considered restricted and are classified as cash and cash equivalents.
Smelter Assurance. In March 2025, assurance bonds and funds required to be held in escrow to support commitment for smelter development, were released following approval from the Indonesia government that PTFI’s smelter development obligation had been met.
Administrative Fine. In March 2025, PTFI paid $59 million for an administrative fine that was previously assessed by the Indonesia government for delays in smelter development. The fine was fully accrued at year-end 2024.
Long-Term Mining Rights. Pursuant to regulations issued during 2024, PTFI is eligible to apply for an extension of its mining rights beyond 2041, provided certain conditions are met, including ownership of integrated downstream facilities that have entered the operational stage; domestic ownership of at least 51% and agreement with a state-owned enterprise for an additional 10% ownership; and commitments for additional exploration and increases in refining capacity, each as approved by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. Application for extension may be submitted at any time up to one year prior to the expiration of PTFI’s special mining business license (IUPK). PTFI expects to apply for an extension during 2025, pending agreement with PT Mineral Industri Indonesia (MIND ID) on a purchase and sale agreement for the transfer in 2041 of an additional 10% interest in PTFI.
NOTE 8. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
FCX has organized its mining operations into four primary divisions – U.S. copper mines, South America operations, Indonesia operations and Molybdenum mines, and operating segments that meet certain thresholds are reportable segments. Separately disclosed in the following tables are FCX’s reportable segments, which include the Morenci and Cerro Verde copper mines, the Indonesia operations (including the Grasberg minerals district and PTFI’s new downstream processing facilities), the Rod & Refining operations and Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining.
FCX's Chief Executive Officer is identified as its chief operating decision maker (CODM) under business segment reporting guidance. Operating income (loss) is the financial measure of profit or loss used by the CODM to review segment results, and the significant segment expenses reviewed by the CODM are consistent with the operating expense line items presented in FCX’s consolidated statements of income. The CODM uses operating income (loss) to assess segment performance against forecasted results and to allocate resources, including capital investment in mining operations and potential expansions.
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 defers recognizing profits on intercompany sales to Atlantic Copper 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 operating segments. However, not all costs and expenses applicable to an operation are allocated. U.S. federal and state income taxes are recorded and managed at the corporate level (included in Corporate, Other & Eliminations), whereas foreign income taxes are recorded and managed at the applicable country level. In addition, some selling, general and administrative costs are not allocated to the operating divisions or individual operating 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 individual operating segment would be if it was an independent entity.
Product Revenues. FCX’s revenues attributable to the products it sold for the first quarters of 2025 and 2024 follow:

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (the Company) as of March 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 14, 2025, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
