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 nine-month period ended September 30, 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 September 30, 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:

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 any of the periods shown above.
NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES
Geographic sources of FCX’s (provision) benefit for income taxes follow:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Nine Months Ended | |
| September 30, | |
| | 2025 | | 2024 | |
| U.S. | $ | (4) | |

| International | (2,015) | | | (2,033) | | |
| Total | $ | (2,019) | | | $ | (2,003) | |
|
FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate is a function of the various rates in the jurisdictions where it operates and was 36% for the first nine months of 2025 and 35% for the first nine months of 2024. The provision for income taxes for the first nine months of 2024 included 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 disputed tax matters.
During the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, FCX’s U.S. operations projected full-year net losses that would not result in a realized tax benefit; accordingly, applicable accounting rules required FCX to adjust its estimated annual effective tax rate to exclude the impact of U.S. net losses.
On July 4, 2025, the President signed into law H.R.1 (also referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act), which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses, including extending and modifying certain provisions of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act of 2017. FCX does not expect H.R.1 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial results.
NOTE 4. DEBT AND EQUITY

a.Includes short-term lines of credit used for working capital requirements, with interest rates primarily 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 September 30, 2025, there were no borrowings and $5 million in letters of credit issued under FCX’s revolving credit facility.
At September 30, 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 September 30, 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 $182 million in third-quarter 2025, $173 million in third-quarter 2024, $537 million for the first nine months of 2025 and $529 million for the first nine months of 2024.
Capitalized interest, which primarily related to FCX’s mining operations’ capital projects, including construction and development of PTFI’s new smelter and precious metals refinery (collectively, PTFI’s downstream processing facilities), totaled $75 million in third-quarter 2025, $101 million in third-quarter 2024, $278 million for the first nine months of 2025 and $280 million for the first nine months of 2024.
Share Repurchase Program and Dividends. During the first nine months of 2025, FCX acquired 2.9 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $107 million ($36.41 average cost per share). As of October 31, 2025, FCX has acquired a total of 52 million shares ($38.51 average cost per share) and has $3.0 billion available under its current share repurchase program.
On September 24, 2025, FCX’s Board of Directors (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 November 3, 2025, to shareholders of record as of October 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 the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. At September 30, 2025, FCX held copper futures and swap contracts that qualified for hedge accounting for 117 million pounds at an average contract price of $4.75 per pound, with maturities through September 2027.
Summary of (Losses) Gains. A summary of realized and unrealized (losses) gains 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 because 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 September 30, 2025, follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Open Positions | | Average Price Per Unit | | Maturities Through |
| | | Contract | | Market | |
| Embedded derivatives in provisional sales contracts: | | | | | | | |
| Copper (millions of pounds) | 402 | | | $ | 4.43 | | | $ | 4.65 | | | February 2026 |
| Gold (thousands of ounces) | 53 | | | 3,429 | | | 3,833 | | | October 2025 |
| Embedded derivatives in provisional purchase contracts: | | | | | | | |
| Copper (millions of pounds) | 111 | | | 4.43 | | | 4.65 | | | December 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 September 30, 2025, Atlantic Copper held net copper forward sales contracts for 52 million pounds at an average contract price of $4.51 per pound, with maturities through November 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:

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 September 30, 2025, the maximum amount of credit exposure associated with derivative transactions was $131 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:

b.Included $0.7 billion associated with a portion of PTFI’s export proceeds required to be temporarily deposited in Indonesia banks for 90 days in accordance with a previous Indonesia regulation.
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 does not have any significant Level 3 assets or liabilities.
FCX’s financial instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value except for debt. A summary of the carrying amount and fair value of FCX’s financial instruments (including those measured at net asset value (NAV) as a practical expedient), other than cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued income taxes and dividends payable (refer to Note 5), follows:

a.Current portion included in other current assets and long-term portion included in other assets.
b.Excludes restricted cash and cash equivalents (which approximated fair value), primarily associated with talc-related litigation at September 30, 2025, and PTFI’s export proceeds at December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 5.

d.Recorded at cost except for debt assumed in the 2007 acquisition of Freeport Minerals Corporation (FMC), which was recorded at fair value at the acquisition date.
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 prices and the adjusted London gold prices 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 net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while FCX believes its valuation techniques are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different techniques or assumptions to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the techniques used at September 30, 2025, as compared with those techniques used at December 31, 2024.
NOTE 7. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
Environmental
There were no significant updates to environmental obligations included in Note 10 of FCX’s 2024 Form 10-K, other than as discussed below.
As a result of the 2007 acquisition of FMC, FCX recorded FMC environmental obligations at fair value on the acquisition date in accordance with business combination accounting guidance. In connection with FCX’s ongoing review and monitoring of these environmental remediation sites, FCX identified specific projects with environmental obligations where it can no longer be concluded that a probable liability exists. Accordingly, during third-quarter 2025, FCX recorded reductions totaling $81 million to the related environmental obligations reflecting closure of these projects.
Historical Smelter Sites. In July 2025, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection accepted FCX’s proposal for alternative remediation standards for sediment remediation in Arthur Kill, the water body adjacent to the former Carteret smelter site, which resulted in a $46 million increase to the related environmental obligation.
In third-quarter 2025, FCX also recorded an increase to its environmental obligation associated with the Carteret smelter site totaling $19 million based on updated cost estimates for the remediation work.
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. The claimants in both the Imerys Talc America (Imerys) and Cyprus Mines Corporation (Cyprus Mines) bankruptcy cases previously approved a global settlement, which remains subject to bankruptcy court approvals in both cases. During third-quarter 2025, the parties agreed that “foreign claimants” (as defined in the amended plan) would not be discharged. In accordance with the global settlement, as amended, Cyprus Amax Minerals Company (CAMC), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of FCX and Cyprus Mines’ parent company, agreed to contribute $195 million in the aggregate over seven years to a proposed claimant trust. There can be no assurance that the amended plan will be approved by the bankruptcy court.
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; (ii) J&J agreed to pay $505 million to Imerys and Cyprus Mines (shared 50/50 between the two parties); and (iii) J&J agreed to remit recoveries of certain legacy insurance claims to Imerys and Cyprus Mines. In accordance with the settlement, Cyprus Mines received cash of $230 million during the first nine months of 2025, with $48 million remaining to be received by early 2026. At September 30, 2025, FCX had a total litigation reserve of $477 million associated with the global settlement, including $278 million associated with the J&J settlement and $4 million for potential foreign claims.
Indonesia Matters
Refer to Notes 10, 11 and 12 of FCX’s 2024 Form 10-K for further discussion of Indonesia matters.
Grasberg Minerals District Mud Rush Incident. On September 8, 2025, PTFI experienced a mud rush incident that resulted in seven fatalities. During the incident, which was unprecedented in PTFI’s multi-decade history of block cave mining in the Grasberg minerals district, a sudden rush of approximately 800,000 metric tons of wet material entered the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine from the former Grasberg open pit and traveled rapidly to multiple levels of the mine, including a service level where seven team members were later found deceased.
Mining operations were temporarily suspended following the incident to prioritize the recovery of the seven team members fatally injured during the incident and to conduct an investigation into the root cause of the incident. The recovery efforts were completed on October 5, 2025, and the investigation is advancing toward completion. Damage assessments, which are expected to be completed by year-end 2025, are being conducted in parallel with ongoing mud removal activities.
In late October 2025, PTFI restarted operations at the unaffected Big Gossan and Deep Mill Level Zone underground mines.
Smelting operations in Indonesia operated with limited availability since the incident and both smelters are currently on stand-by status pending the delivery of copper concentrate.
FCX and PTFI, including external experts, are completing an investigation of the root cause of the incident and to identify actions required to safeguard against recurrence. In parallel, and in coordination with Indonesia government authorities, future production plans are being evaluated and damage assessments are being completed.
During third-quarter 2025, PTFI recorded charges totaling $195 million associated with the mud rush incident, including $152 million for idle facility costs and $43 million related to recovery efforts. During the phased restart and ramp-up of operations in fourth-quarter 2025 and in 2026, a portion of PTFI’s cost of sales are expected to be recognized as idle facility costs, which are non-inventoriable costs.
As of September 30, 2025, PTFI had limited access to the area where the incident occurred and was unable to adequately assess damage to the impacted assets. Accordingly, no impairment charges were recorded in third-quarter 2025. Upon completion of damage assessments and evaluation of the affected infrastructure in fourth-quarter 2025, PTFI expects to write-off the carrying value of assets determined to be damaged beyond repair. Furthermore, FCX does not believe the incident indicates a broader impairment of PTFI’s long-lived mining assets based on PTFI’s reserve life, favorable market outlook for metal prices and expected resumption of operations at the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine in the near term.
PTFI is seeking recovery of damages under its property and business interruption insurance policies, which cover up to $1.0 billion in losses (subject to a limit of $0.7 billion on underground incidents), after a $0.5 billion deductible. PTFI’s ability to recover damages under its insurance coverage with respect to the mud rush incident is subject to certain conditions. Any amounts recoverable under PTFI’s insurance policies will be reflected in future periods in which recovery is considered realizable in accordance with the gain contingency accounting guidance.
As a result of the incident and impact on operations, PTFI has also notified certain commercial counterparties of a force majeure under its contracts.
Concentrate Exports. PTFI’s copper concentrate export license for 1.4 million metric tons of copper concentrate (subject to a 7.5% export duty) expired on September 16, 2025.
Long-Term Mining Rights. With the completion of PTFI’s downstream processing facilities during 2025, FCX and PTFI have advanced discussions with the Indonesia government for a long-term extension of PTFI’s operating rights beyond the current expiration of 2041. An extension would enable continuity of large-scale operations for the benefit of all stakeholders and provide growth options through additional resource development opportunities in the highly attractive Grasberg minerals district.
PTFI is preparing its application for a long-term extension expected to cover the life of the resource, which is expected to be submitted in fourth-quarter 2025. In connection with the extension, PTFI expects to pursue additional exploration, conduct studies for future additional development and expand its social programs. FCX expects to maintain its ownership interest of approximately 49% through 2041 and would transfer an additional interest in PTFI to a state-owned enterprise beginning in 2042, leaving FCX to hold an approximately 37% interest. FCX also expects the existing governance agreements would continue over the life of the resource.
Export Proceeds. 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 export proceeds to fund business requirements, these deposits 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.
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, including the Cerro Verde copper mine, Indonesia operations (including the Grasberg minerals district and PTFI’s downstream processing facilities), and U.S. Rod & Refining operations. FCX has also separately disclosed the Morenci copper mine and Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining segments in the following tables.
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.

a.FCX purchases copper cathode primarily for processing by its U.S. Rod & Refining operations. During 2025, FCX has been able to meet customer demand for copper rod with copper cathode produced by its U.S. copper mines and South America operations, resulting in a decrease in purchased copper volumes.
b.Prior to the expiration of its export license on September 16, 2025, PTFI was assessed export duties on copper concentrate sales at a rate of 7.5%.
c.Reflects royalties on sales from PTFI and Cerro Verde that will vary with the volume of metal sold and prices.
d.Revenues from our copper concentrate sales are recorded net of treatment charges, which will vary with the sales volumes and the price of copper. The 2025 periods primarily reflect lower treatment charge rates as a result of favorable market conditions.
e.Refer to Note 5 for discussion of embedded derivatives related to FCX’s provisionally priced copper concentrate and cathode sales contracts.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Freeport-McMoRan Inc.
Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (the Company) as of September 30, 2025, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and equity for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 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.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
In Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A), “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX) and its consolidated subsidiaries. You should read this discussion in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, the related MD&A and the discussion of our Business and Properties in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (2024 Form 10-K), filed with the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The results of operations reported and summarized below include forward-looking statements that are not guarantees of future performance and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results (refer to “Cautionary Statement” for further discussion). References to “Notes” are Notes included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited). Throughout MD&A, all references to income or losses per share are on a diluted basis. Any references to our website are for information only and the contents of our website or information connected thereto are not incorporated in, or otherwise to be regarded as part of, this Form 10-Q.
OVERVIEW
We are a leading international metals company with the objective of being foremost in copper. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, we operate large, long-lived, geographically diverse assets with significant proven and probable mineral reserves of copper, gold and molybdenum. We are one of the world’s largest publicly traded copper producers. Our portfolio of assets includes the Grasberg minerals district in Indonesia, one of the world’s largest copper and gold deposits; and significant operations in the U.S. and South America, including the large-scale Morenci minerals district in Arizona and the Cerro Verde operation in Peru.
As a leading global supplier of copper and other metals with large-scale production, significant reserves and resources and an attractive pipeline for future growth, we are focused on the important role we play to provide copper, gold and molybdenum reliably and responsibly to a world with growing demand for metals.
We continue to incorporate new applications, technologies and data analytics into our leaching processes, and are applying operational enhancements on a larger scale and advancing testing of innovative technology to increase production from these initiatives. We are targeting annual production of 300 million pounds of copper in 2026 from these initiatives and believe we have the potential for further significant increases in recoverable metal beyond the current target run rate. Continued success with these initiatives would be expected to contribute to favorable adjustments in recoverable copper in leach stockpiles and favorably impact average unit net cash costs.
Our third-quarter 2025 results were impacted by the tragic mud rush incident that occurred on September 8, 2025, in the Grasberg minerals district. The entire FCX organization is grieving the loss of our seven team members and we remain steadfast in our commitment to prioritize the safety of our workforce above all else. Refer to further discussion of the mud rush incident below.
Net income attributable to common stockholders totaled $674 million in third-quarter 2025 and $1.8 billion for the first nine months of 2025, compared with $526 million in third-quarter 2024 and $1.6 billion for first nine months of 2024. Higher net income in the 2025 periods, compared to the 2024 periods, primarily reflects higher operating income from our U.S. and South America mining operations, partly offset by lower financial results from Indonesia operations as a result of the mud rush incident. Refer to “Consolidated Results” for further discussion.
At September 30, 2025, we had consolidated debt of $9.3 billion and consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $4.3 billion. Net debt totaled $1.75 billion, excluding $3.2 billion of debt for PT Freeport Indonesia’s (PTFI) new smelter and precious metals refinery (PMR) (collectively, PTFI’s downstream processing facilities). Refer to “Net Debt” for a reconciliation of consolidated debt and consolidated cash and cash equivalents to net debt.
At September 30, 2025, we had $3.0 billion of availability under our revolving credit facility, and PTFI and Cerro Verde had $1.5 billion and $350 million, respectively, of availability under their revolving credit facilities.
Refer to Note 4 and “Capital Resources and Liquidity” for further discussion.
GRASBERG MINERALS DISTRICT MUD RUSH INCIDENT
On September 8, 2025, PTFI experienced a mud rush incident that resulted in seven fatalities. During the incident, which was unprecedented in PTFI’s multi-decade history of block cave mining in the Grasberg minerals district, a sudden rush of approximately 800,000 metric tons of wet material entered the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine from the former Grasberg open pit and traveled rapidly to multiple levels of the mine, including a service level where seven team members were later found deceased.
Mining operations were temporarily suspended following the incident to prioritize the recovery of the seven team members fatally injured during the incident and to conduct an investigation into the root cause of the incident. The recovery efforts were completed on October 5, 2025, and the investigation is advancing toward completion. Damage assessments, which are expected to be completed by year-end 2025, are being conducted in parallel with ongoing mud removal activities.
In late October 2025, PTFI restarted operations at the unaffected Big Gossan and Deep Mill Level Zone (DMLZ) underground mines. A phased restart and ramp-up of the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine is anticipated to begin during 2026.
Smelting operations in Indonesia operated with limited availability since the incident, and both smelters are currently on stand-by status pending the delivery of copper concentrate. We expect higher variability between PTFI production and sales until PTFI’s downstream processing facilities achieve normalized operating rates.
We and PTFI, including external experts, are completing an investigation of the root cause of the incident and to identify actions required to safeguard against recurrence. In parallel, and in coordination with Indonesia government authorities, future production plans are being evaluated and damage assessments are being completed.
During third-quarter 2025, PTFI recorded charges totaling $195 million associated with the mud rush incident, including $152 million for idle facility costs and $43 million related to recovery efforts. During the phased restart and ramp-up of operations in fourth-quarter 2025 and in 2026, a portion of PTFI’s cost of sales are expected to be recognized as idle facility costs, which are non-inventoriable costs.
As of September 30, 2025, PTFI had limited access to the area where the incident occurred and was unable to adequately assess damage to the impacted assets. Accordingly, no impairment charges were recorded in third-quarter 2025. Upon completion of damage assessments and evaluation of the affected infrastructure in fourth-quarter 2025, PTFI expects to write-off the carrying value of assets determined to be damaged beyond repair. Furthermore, we do not believe the incident indicates a broader impairment of PTFI’s long-lived mining assets based on PTFI’s reserve life, favorable market outlook for metal prices and expected resumption of operations at the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine in the near term.
While evaluation of PTFI’s operating plans, including production and sales estimates and cost and capital budgets are ongoing, and revised plans are expected to be finalized following completion of the investigation and damage assessments, we expect the incident to have a significant impact on our fourth-quarter 2025 and 2026 operating and financial results. FCX plans to hold a conference call with analysts and investors on November 18, 2025, to provide a report on the investigation of the mud rush incident and present FCX’s multi-year operational and financial outlook, including for PTFI.
PTFI is seeking recovery of damages under its property and business interruption insurance policies, which cover up to $1.0 billion in losses (subject to a limit of $0.7 billion on underground incidents), after a $0.5 billion deductible. PTFI’s ability to recover damages under its insurance coverage with respect to the mud rush incident is subject to certain conditions. Any amounts recoverable under PTFI’s insurance policies will be reflected in future periods in which recovery is considered realizable in accordance with the gain contingency accounting guidance.
As a result of the incident and impact on operations, PTFI has also notified certain commercial counterparties of a force majeure under its contracts.
OUTLOOK
Our financial results vary as a result of fluctuations in market prices primarily for copper, gold and, to a lesser extent, molybdenum, as well as other factors. World market prices for these commodities have fluctuated historically and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control. Refer to “Markets” below and “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. of our 2024 Form 10-K for further discussion. Because we cannot control the prices of our products, the key measures that management focuses on in operating our business are sales volumes, unit net cash costs, operating cash flows and capital expenditures. In addition, as a result of the September 2025 mud rush incident at PTFI, our consolidated sales volumes, unit net cash costs, operating cash flows and capital expenditures for the year 2025 have been revised, compared to the guidance provided in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
The forward-looking statements in the below section and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are based on current market conditions, are as of the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, are based on several assumptions and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Refer to “Cautionary Statement” below.
Consolidated Sales Volumes
Following are our projected consolidated sales volumes for the year 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Copper (millions of recoverable pounds): | | | | | |
| U.S. copper mines | 1,289 | | | | | |
| South America operations | 1,058 | | | | | |
| Indonesia operations | 1,153 | |
| | | |
| Total | 3,500 | |
| | | |
| | | | | |
Gold (millions of recoverable ounces) | 1.05 | |
| | | |
| | | | | |
Molybdenum (millions of recoverable pounds) | 82 | | a | | | |
| | | | | |
a.Includes 46 million pounds produced by our U.S. copper mines and Cerro Verde mine and 36 million pounds produced by our primary molybdenum mines.
Projected consolidated sales volumes in fourth-quarter 2025 reflect minimal volumes from Indonesia operations and are expected to approximate 635 million pounds of copper, 60 thousand ounces of gold and 21 million pounds of molybdenum.
Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance; the timing of restarting and ramping up mining and smelting operations at PTFI following the September 2025 mud rush incident; weather-related conditions; timing of shipments and other factors detailed in the “Cautionary Statement” below. For other important factors that could cause results to differ materially from projections, refer to “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A. of our 2024 Form 10-K.

Consolidated unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits and excluding estimated expenses attributable to the September 2025 mud rush incident at PTFI for idle facility costs and recovery efforts) for our copper mines are expected to average $1.68 per pound of copper for the year 2025, based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming average prices of $4,000 per ounce of gold and $25.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2025. Quarterly unit net cash costs vary with fluctuations in sales volumes by region, including the ratio of copper and gold sales within a period, and realized prices, primarily for gold and molybdenum. The impact of price changes during fourth-quarter 2025 on consolidated unit net cash costs for the year 2025 would approximate $0.01 per pound of copper for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.
Consolidated Operating Cash Flows
Our consolidated operating cash flows vary with sales volumes; prices realized from copper, gold and molybdenum sales; production costs; income taxes; other working capital changes; and other factors, including the timing of restarting and ramping up mining and smelting operations at PTFI following the September 2025 mud rush incident. Consolidated operating cash flows are estimated to approximate $5.5 billion for the year 2025, net of $0.7 billion of working capital and other uses, based on current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming prices of $4.75 per pound of copper, $4,000 per ounce of gold and $25.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2025. Estimated consolidated operating cash flows for the year 2025 also reflect a projected income tax provision of $2.2
billion (refer to “Consolidated Results – Income Taxes” for further discussion of our projected income tax rate for the year 2025). The impact of price changes in fourth-quarter 2025 on consolidated operating cash flows are estimated to approximate $80 million for each $0.10 per pound change in the average price of copper, $15 million for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $30 million for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.
Consolidated Capital Expenditures
Following is a summary of expected capital expenditures for the year 2025 (in billions):
| | | | | | | | |
| Major projects | $ | 2.3 | | a |
| PTFI’s downstream processing facilities | 0.6 | | |
| Sustaining capital and other | 1.6 | | |
| Total | $ | 4.5 | | |
a.Includes $950 million for planned projects, primarily associated with underground mine development, supporting mill and power capital costs and a portion of spending on a new gas-fired combined cycle facility in the Grasberg minerals district, and potential U.S. expansion projects, and $1.35 billion for discretionary growth projects, primarily in the Grasberg minerals district for the continued development of Kucing Liar and at the Bagdad mine for tailings infrastructure.
We are carefully managing operating costs and near-term capital expenditures in connection with revised operating plans at the Grasberg minerals district to manage cash flow and liquidity during the phased ramp-up period.
MARKETS
Prices for copper, gold and molybdenum are affected by numerous factors beyond our control and can fluctuate significantly (for further discussion refer to “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A. of our 2024 Form 10-K). The following graphs present the London Metal Exchange (LME) and Commodity Exchange Inc. (COMEX) copper settlement prices, the London Bullion Market Association (London) PM gold prices, and the Platts Metals Daily Molybdenum Dealer Oxide weekly average prices since January 2015.
This graph presents LME and COMEX copper settlement prices and the combined reported stocks of copper at the LME, COMEX and the Shanghai Futures Exchange from January 2015 through September 2025. LME and COMEX
copper prices are market-driven and subject to change based on current and future tariff rates, additional changes in trade policies, domestic inventory levels, supply and demand, and other factors.
Copper priced on the LME and COMEX exchanges have historically traded in a narrow range with no material differential. Following U.S. trade policy announcements earlier in 2025, including proposed tariff announcements, the two benchmark prices began to differ and the spread significantly widened during July 2025. Effective August 1, 2025, a 50% tariff was imposed under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, targeting U.S. imports of semi-finished copper products and copper-intensive derivative products. However, refined copper, including cathodes, concentrates and scrap, was exempted from the tariff and the U.S. government has indicated it will reassess by mid-2026 the potential for a refined copper tariff of 15% beginning in January 2027 and rising to 30% in 2028. Differences between COMEX and LME copper prices were present during third-quarter 2025, with the average COMEX copper settlement price 9% higher than the average LME copper settlement price. Both COMEX and LME copper prices have risen following the September 2025 mud rush incident, with LME settlement copper price hitting an all-time high of $5.02 per pound in October 2025. As of October 31, 2025, the COMEX copper settlement price of $5.07 per pound was 3% higher than the LME copper settlement price of $4.94 per pound.
Copper sales from our South America and Indonesia operations are generally based on quoted LME monthly average copper settlement prices. During third-quarter 2025, LME copper settlement prices averaged $4.44 per pound (ranging from a low of $4.33 per pound to a high of $4.68 per pound) and closed at $4.67 per pound on September 30, 2025.
Copper sales from our U.S. copper mines are generally based on prevailing COMEX monthly average copper settlement prices. During third-quarter 2025, COMEX copper settlement prices averaged $4.84 per pound (ranging from a low of $4.33 per pound to an all-time high of $5.80 per pound) and closed at $4.81 per pound on September 30, 2025.
We believe fundamentals for copper are favorable with growing demand supported by copper’s critical role in the global transition to renewable power, electric vehicles and other carbon-reduction initiatives, continued urbanization in developing countries, data centers, increased defense spending and growing connectivity globally.
This graph presents London PM gold prices from January 2015 through September 2025. During third-quarter 2025, London PM gold prices averaged $3,457 per ounce (ranging from a low of $3,299 per ounce to a high of $3,827 per ounce) and closed at $3,825 per ounce on September 30, 2025. The prospect of additional U.S. interest rate reductions, geopolitical tensions, trade uncertainty and strong demand from central banks around the world
continue to drive gold prices to record highs, with the London PM gold price reaching an all-time high of $4,294 per ounce in October 2025 and closing at $4,012 per ounce on October 31, 2025.
This graph presents the Platts Metals Daily Molybdenum Dealer Oxide weekly average prices from January 2015 through September 2025. During third-quarter 2025, the weekly average prices for molybdenum averaged $24.33 per pound (ranging from a low of $22.10 per pound to a high of $25.93 per pound) and closed at $25.05 per pound on September 30, 2025. Overall global demand for molybdenum is driven by energy, power generation, aerospace, defense and construction sectors. We believe fundamentals for molybdenum are positive with favorable demand drivers and limited supply. The Platts Metals Daily Molybdenum Dealer Oxide weekly average price closed at $24.09 per pound on October 31, 2025.

Revenues
Consolidated revenues totaled $7.0 billion in third-quarter 2025, $6.8 billion in third-quarter 2024, $20.3 billion for the first nine months of 2025 and $19.7 billion for the first nine months of 2024. Revenues from our mining operations and processing facilities primarily include the sale of copper cathode, copper in concentrate, copper rod, gold in concentrate and anode slimes, gold bars and molybdenum. Refer to Note 8 for a summary of product revenues.
Following is a summary of changes in our consolidated revenues between periods (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30 | | Nine Months Ended September 30 | |

Sales Volumes. Consolidated copper and gold sales volumes decreased in the 2025 periods, compared to the 2024 periods, primarily reflecting the temporary suspension of operations in Indonesia since the September 2025 mud rush incident at PTFI and lower ore grades in Indonesia. Lower copper and gold sales volumes for the first nine months of 2025, compared to the first nine months of 2024, also reflect the impact of lower operating rates in Indonesia resulting from planned major maintenance projects.
Realized Prices. Our consolidated revenues can vary significantly as a result of fluctuations in the market prices of copper, gold and molybdenum. Our average realized prices in third-quarter 2025, compared with third-quarter 2024, were 9% higher for copper, 38% higher for gold and 5% higher for molybdenum. Average realized prices for the first nine months of 2025, compared with the first nine months of 2024, were 7% higher for copper, 42% higher for gold and 3% higher for molybdenum.
During the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, our average U.S. copper price realization, which is generally based on COMEX settlement prices, was approximately 7% to 9% higher than the average copper price realizations for our South America and Indonesia operations, which are generally based on LME settlement prices. Refer to “Markets” for further discussion of COMEX and LME copper prices.
Average realized copper prices benefited from net favorable adjustments to current period provisionally priced copper sales totaling $71 million in third-quarter 2025, $61 million in third-quarter 2024, $169 million for the first nine months of 2025 and $248 million for the first nine months of 2024. As discussed in Note 5, certain sales contracts for copper and gold provide final pricing in a specified future month (generally one to four months from the shipment date). We record revenues and invoice customers at the time of shipment based on then-current LME prices for copper or London PM prices for gold, which results in an embedded derivative on provisionally priced sales that is adjusted to fair value through earnings each period, using the period-end forward prices, until final pricing on the date of settlement. To the extent final prices are higher or lower than what was recorded on a provisional basis, an increase or decrease to revenues is recorded each reporting period until the date of final pricing. Accordingly, in times of rising copper and gold prices, our revenues benefit from adjustments to the final pricing of provisionally priced sales pursuant to contracts entered into in prior periods; in times of falling copper and gold prices, the opposite occurs.
Prior Period Provisionally Priced Copper Sales. Net favorable (unfavorable) adjustments to prior periods’ provisionally priced copper sales (i.e., provisionally priced sales at June 30, 2025 and 2024, and December 31, 2024 and 2023) recorded in consolidated revenues totaled $11 million in third-quarter 2025, $(32) million in third-quarter 2024, $63 million for the first nine months of 2025 and $28 million for the first nine months of 2024. Refer to Notes 5 and 8 for a summary of total adjustments to prior period and current period provisionally priced sales.
At September 30, 2025, we had provisionally priced copper sales totaling 205 million pounds (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average price of $4.65 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. We estimate that each $0.05 change in the price realized from the September 30, 2025, recorded provisional price would have an approximate $20 million effect on 2025 revenues ($6 million to 2025 net income attributable to common stock). The LME copper settlement price closed at $4.94 per pound on October 31, 2025.
Atlantic Copper Revenues. Atlantic Copper revenues totaled $774 million in third-quarter 2025, $765 million in third-quarter 2024 and $2.3 billion for each of the first nine months of 2025 and 2024.
Purchased Copper. We purchase copper cathode primarily for processing by our U.S. Rod & Refining operations. The volumes of copper purchases vary depending on cathode production from our operations and totaled 9 million pounds in third-quarter 2025, 36 million pounds in third-quarter 2024, 110 million pounds for the first nine months of 2025 and 142 million pounds for the first nine months of 2024. During 2025, we have been able to meet customer demand for copper rod primarily using copper cathode produced by our U.S. and South America mining operations, resulting in a decrease in purchased copper volumes.
Treatment Charges. Revenues from our copper concentrate sales are recorded net of treatment charges, which will vary with the sales volumes and the price of copper. The decrease in treatment charges in the 2025 periods, compared to the 2024 periods, primarily reflects lower treatment charge rates as a result of favorable market conditions and copper concentrate sales volumes in Indonesia and South America.
Export Duties and Royalties. Prior to the expiration of its export license on September 16, 2025, PTFI was assessed export duties on copper concentrate sales at a rate of 7.5%. PTFI pays royalties on all copper and gold sales, the amount of which varies with sales volumes and metal prices.
Production and Delivery Costs
Consolidated production and delivery costs totaled $4.2 billion in third-quarter 2025, $4.1 billion in third-quarter 2024, $12.2 billion for the first nine months of 2025 and $11.8 billion for the first nine months of 2024. Production and delivery costs in the 2025 periods include $171 million of idle facility costs and recovery expenses
associated with the September 2025 mud rush incident at PTFI. The first nine months of 2025 also included charges totaling $73 million associated with planned maintenance turnaround costs at the Miami smelter and $39 million of tolling fees that were recognized as idle facility costs associated with PT Smelting’s planned maintenance turnaround (PT Smelting is PTFI’s 66%-owned smelter and refinery in Gresik, Indonesia). The first nine months of 2024 included charges of $99 million associated with assumed oil and gas abandonment obligations (and related adjustments) resulting from bankruptcies of other companies and $99 million for non-recurring labor-related charges at Cerro Verde associated with new CLAs.
As discussed in Note 7, as of September 30, 2025, PTFI had limited access to the area where the mud rush incident occurred and was unable to adequately assess damage to the impacted assets. Accordingly, no impairment charges were recorded in third-quarter 2025. Upon completion of damage assessments and evaluation of the affected infrastructure in fourth-quarter 2025, PTFI expects to write-off the carrying value of assets determined to be damaged beyond repair. Furthermore, we do not believe the incident indicates a broader impairment of PTFI’s long-lived mining assets based on PTFI’s reserve life, favorable market outlook for metal prices and expected resumption of operations at the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine in the near term.
Site Production and Delivery Costs Per Pound. Site production and delivery costs for our copper mining operations primarily include labor, energy and other commodity-based inputs, such as sulfuric acid, steel, reagents, liners, tires and explosives. Consolidated site production and delivery costs (before net noncash and other costs) for our copper mines averaged $2.71 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2025, $2.61 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2024, $2.67 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2025 and $2.49 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2024. Consolidated site production and delivery costs per pound of copper exclude idle facility costs and recovery expenses associated with the September 2025 mud rush incident at PTFI (refer to “Product Revenues and
Production Costs” for a summary of other amounts that are removed from site production and delivery costs and reflected as noncash and other costs, net, in the calculation of unit net cash costs).
Refer to “Operations – Unit Net Cash Costs” and “Operations – Unit Net Cash (Credits) Costs” for further discussion of unit net cash costs (credits) associated with our operating divisions and to “Product Revenues and Production Costs” for reconciliations of per pound costs (credits) by operating division to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in our consolidated financial statements.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
Depreciation will vary under the unit-of-production (UOP) method as a result of changes in sales volumes and the related UOP rates at our mining operations. Consolidated depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) totaled $625 million in third-quarter 2025, $600 million in third-quarter 2024, $1.8 billion for the first nine months of 2025 and $1.7 billion for the first nine months of 2024. DD&A for the 2025 periods includes $24 million associated with idle facilities following the September 2025 mud rush incident at PTFI.
We currently expect DD&A to approximate $2.2 billion for the year 2025, which will include depreciation associated with capitalized costs for PTFI’s downstream processing facilities.
Environmental Obligations and Shutdown Costs
Environmental obligation costs reflect net revisions to our long-term environmental obligations, which vary from period to period because of changes to environmental laws and regulations, the settlement of environmental matters and/or circumstances affecting our operations that could result in significant changes in our estimates. Shutdown costs include care-and-maintenance costs and any litigation, remediation or related expenditures associated with closed facilities or operations.
Refer to Note 7 for further discussion of updates to environmental obligations.
Interest Expense, Net
Consolidated interest costs (before capitalization) totaled $182 million in third-quarter 2025, $173 million in third-quarter 2024, $537 million for the first nine months of 2025 and $529 million for the first nine months of 2024.
Capitalized interest, which primarily related to our mining operations’ capital projects, including construction and development of PTFI’s downstream processing facilities, totaled $75 million in third-quarter 2025, $101 million in third-quarter 2024, $278 million for the first nine months of 2025 and $280 million for the first nine months of 2024. Refer to “Capital Resources and Liquidity – Investing Activities” for discussion of capital expenditures associated with our major development projects.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net, which totaled $59 million in third-quarter 2025, $97 million in third-quarter 2024, $158 million for the first nine months of 2025 and $295 million for the first nine months of 2024, primarily includes amounts associated with interest income, currency exchange gains and losses, and mark-to-market impacts of trust assets used to satisfy financial assurance obligations for our New Mexico mining operations. Lower other income, net, in the 2025 periods, compared to the 2024 periods, primarily reflects lower interest income. The first nine months of 2024 also included a credit of $26 million associated with the reduction in the accrual to indemnify PT Mineral Industri Indonesia (MIND ID) from potential losses arising from PTFI’s historical tax disputes.

a.Represents income before income taxes, equity in affiliated companies' net (losses) earnings and noncontrolling interests.
b.In addition to our U.S. copper and molybdenum mines, which had operating income of $1.1 billion for the first nine months of 2025 and $558 million for the first nine months of 2024 (refer to Note 8), the U.S. jurisdiction reflects non-operating sites and corporate-level expenses, which include interest expense associated with our senior notes and general and administrative expenses. The U.S. jurisdiction also includes net revisions to environmental obligation estimates and charges associated with oil and gas abandonment obligations and impairments.
c.In accordance with applicable accounting rules, we adjust our interim provision for income taxes equal to our consolidated tax rate.
As discussed in Note 3, we do not expect H.R.1, which was signed into law on July 4, 2025, to have a material impact on our consolidated financial results.
Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and prices of $4.75 per pound of copper, $4,000 per ounce of gold and $25.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2025, we estimate our consolidated effective tax rate for the year 2025 would approximate 36%. Changes in projected sales volumes and average prices during fourth-quarter 2025 would incur tax impacts at estimated effective rates of 39% for Peru, 36% for Indonesia and 0% for the U.S.
Noncontrolling Interests
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, which is primarily associated with our noncontrolling shareholders at PTFI, Cerro Verde and El Abra, totaled $573 million in third-quarter 2025, $710 million in third-quarter 2024, $1.8 billion for the first nine months of 2025 and $2.1 billion for the first nine months of 2024. Refer to Note 8 for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for each of our business segments.
Our economic and ownership interest in PTFI is 48.76%, except for net income associated with the settlement of historical tax matters, which is attributed based on the economics prior to January 1, 2023 (i.e., approximately 81% to FCX and 19% to MIND ID).
In September 2024, we increased our ownership interest in Cerro Verde to 55.08% from 53.56%.
Based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming prices of $4.75 per pound of copper, $4,000 per ounce of gold and $25.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter of 2025, we estimate that net income attributable to noncontrolling interests will approximate $2.0 billion for the year 2025. The impact of price changes on net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the year 2025 would approximate $50 million for each $0.25 per pound change in the average LME copper settlement price in fourth-quarter 2025 (net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is not impacted by changes in the COMEX copper price). The actual amount will depend on various factors, including relative performance of each business segment, commodity prices, costs and other factors.
OPERATIONS
Leaching and Technology Innovation Initiatives
We are continuing to incorporate new applications, technologies and data analytics into our leaching processes across our U.S. and South America operations. Incremental copper production from these initiatives totaled 56 million pounds in third-quarter 2025 and 154 million pounds for the first nine months of 2025.
We continue to apply operational enhancements on a larger scale and are advancing testing of innovative technology to increase production from these initiatives. We are targeting annual production of 300 million pounds of copper in 2026 from these initiatives and believe we have the potential for further significant increases in recoverable metal beyond the current target run rate. We are performing large-scale testing at our Morenci operations of an internally developed additive product with the potential to enhance copper recovery. In addition, we have identified other possible additives with strong potential and plan to apply heat with the new additives to further enhance recoveries. Continued success with these initiatives would be expected to contribute to favorable adjustments in recoverable copper in leach stockpiles and favorably impact average unit net cash costs.
In addition to our innovative leaching initiatives, we are pursuing opportunities to leverage new technologies and analytic tools in automation and operating practices with a goal of improving operating efficiencies and reducing costs and capital intensity of our current operations and future development projects. We believe these leaching and technology initiatives are particularly important to our U.S. operations, which have lower ore grades.
Responsible Production
We demonstrate our responsible production performance through the Copper Mark, a comprehensive assurance framework developed specifically for the copper industry and extended to other metals, including molybdenum. To achieve the Copper Mark, each site is required to complete an independent external assurance process to assess conformance with various environmental, social and governance criteria. Awarded sites must be revalidated every three years. We achieved, and are committed to maintaining, the Copper Mark and Molybdenum Mark, as applicable, at all of our operating sites globally.
Feasibility and Optimization Studies
We are engaged in various studies associated with potential future expansion projects primarily at our mining operations. We are also undertaking optimization projects at our current mining operations to enhance efficiencies and reduce costs. The costs for these studies are charged to production and delivery costs as incurred and totaled $43 million in third-quarter 2025, $45 million in third-quarter 2024, $131 million for the first nine months of 2025 and $117 million for the first nine months of 2024. We estimate the costs of these studies will approximate $200 million for the year 2025, subject to market conditions and other factors.
U.S. Tariffs
Our third-quarter 2025 costs were not significantly impacted by U.S. tariffs, and we are continuing to monitor impacts on our business, cost structure and supply chains associated with tariffs on U.S. imports. Based on our current supply chains and discussions with suppliers, we estimate that the tariffs in effect and announced to date could have the potential to increase the costs of goods purchased in the U.S. by approximately 5%, primarily reflecting the potential pass-through of tariffs incurred by suppliers. Efforts continue to evaluate alternative sourcing options to mitigate potential impacts.
Effective August 1, 2025, a 50% tariff was imposed under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, targeting U.S. imports of semi-finished copper products and copper-intensive derivative products. However, refined copper, including cathodes, concentrates and scrap, was exempted from the tariff, and the U.S. government has indicated it will reassess by mid-2026 the potential for a refined copper tariff of 15% beginning in January 2027 and rising to 30% in 2028. Refer to “Markets” for further discussion of the differential between LME and COMEX copper prices as a result of U.S. trade policy announcements.
Additionally, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce was directed to impose requirements that 25% of copper cathode and concentrate produced in the U.S. be sold domestically in 2027, potentially increasing to 30% in 2028 and 40% in 2029.
We are the leading copper supplier in the U.S., providing approximately 70% of total U.S. refined copper production through our integrated domestic mining and processing facilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, copper from our U.S. mining operations was sold 68% as rod, 24% as cathode and 8% in concentrate. We are well
positioned in the U.S. with sizeable resources and opportunities to leverage existing infrastructure through brownfield expansions.
For the year 2025, copper sales from our U.S. mining operations are expected to approximate 1.3 billion pounds, which are primarily sold domestically. Copper produced from our South America and Indonesia mining operations is primarily sold internationally.
Governmental action related to tariffs and other controls on imports and exports or trade agreements or policies are difficult to predict and may continue to cause significant volatility in our financial performance and in the trading prices of our common stock. Refer to “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. of our 2024 Form 10-K for further discussion.
United States
We manage seven copper operations in the U.S. – Morenci, Bagdad, Safford (including Lone Star), Sierrita and Miami in Arizona, and Chino and Tyrone in New Mexico. We also operate a copper smelter and rod mill in Miami, Arizona, and copper refinery and rod mill in El Paso, Texas. All of our U.S. operations are wholly owned, except for Morenci. We record our 72% undivided joint venture interest in Morenci using the proportionate consolidation method.
Our U.S. copper operations include open-pit mining, sulfide-ore concentrating, leaching and solution extraction/electrowinning (SX/EW) facilities. A majority of the copper produced at our U.S. copper operations is cast into copper rod by our U.S. Rod & Refining segment. The remainder of our U.S. copper production is sold as copper cathode or copper concentrate, a portion of which is shipped to Atlantic Copper (our wholly owned smelter and refinery in Spain). Molybdenum concentrate, gold and silver are also produced by certain of our U.S. copper operations.
Development Activities. We have substantial reserves, resources and future opportunities for organic growth in the U.S. associated with existing operations. Several initiatives are under way to target anticipated significant future growth in our U.S. copper operations, including the leaching and technology innovation initiatives discussed above.
We have a potential expansion project to more than double the concentrator capacity of the Bagdad operation in northwest Arizona. Bagdad’s reserve life currently exceeds 80 years and supports an expanded operation. We completed technical and economic studies in late 2023 and continue to monitor capital cost trends and opportunities for value engineering. These studies indicate the opportunity to construct new concentrating facilities to increase copper production by 200 to 250 million pounds per year. Estimated incremental project capital costs, which continue to be reviewed, approximate $3.5 billion. Expanded operations would provide improved efficiency and reduce unit net cash costs through economies of scale. Project economics indicate that the expansion would require an incentive copper price of less than $4.00 per pound and three to four years to complete. The decision to proceed with and timing of the potential expansion will take into account overall copper market conditions and other factors.
In October 2025, the conversion of Bagdad’s haul truck fleet to autonomous haulage was substantially complete, making Bagdad the first major mine in the U.S. to operate a fully autonomous haulage fleet. We expect to continue to optimize the performance of the new autonomous fleet, and Bagdad is advancing projects to expand tailings facilities and local infrastructure to enhance optionality in the future expansion opportunity.
We continue to advance pre-feasibility studies in the Safford/Lone Star district to define a potential significant expansion opportunity. Positive drilling conducted in recent years indicates a large, mineralized district with opportunities to pursue a further expansion project. We expect to complete these studies in 2026. The decision to proceed with and timing of the potential expansion will take into account results of technical and economic studies, overall copper market conditions and other factors.

a.During the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, our average U.S. copper price realization, which is generally based on COMEX settlement prices, was approximately 7% to 9% higher than the average copper price realizations for our South America and Indonesia operations, which are generally based on LME settlement prices. Refer to “Markets.”
b.Refer to “Consolidated Results” for our consolidated molybdenum sales volumes, which include sales of molybdenum produced at our U.S. copper mines.
Higher consolidated copper sales volumes from our U.S. mines in the 2025 periods, compared to the 2024 periods, primarily reflect higher operating rates and ore grades.
Consolidated copper sales from our U.S. mines are expected to approximate 1.3 billion pounds for the year 2025. Refer to “Outlook” for projected molybdenum sales volumes.
Unit Net Cash Costs. We believe unit net cash costs per pound of copper is a measure that provides investors with information about the cash-generating capacity of our mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for our respective operations. We use this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by our mining operations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the U.S. and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This measure is presented by other metals mining companies, although our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Gross Profit per Pound of Copper and Molybdenum

Our U.S. copper mines have varying cost structures because of differences in ore grades and characteristics, processing costs, by-product credits and other factors. Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for our U.S. copper mines totaled $3.11 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2025, $3.24 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2024, $3.09 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2025 and $3.13 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2024. Lower average unit net cash costs in the 2025 periods, compared to the 2024 periods, reflect higher copper volumes and higher molybdenum by-product credits.
Because certain assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, the average unit depreciation rate for our U.S. copper mines may vary with asset additions and the level of copper production and sales.
We expect our average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for our U.S. copper mines to continue to trend lower for the year 2025 and in 2026, compared to 2024 levels, reflecting the projected impact of efficiencies, improved volumes and cost reduction plans currently in progress.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for our U.S. copper mines are expected to approximate $3.03 per pound of copper for the year 2025, based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming an average price of $25.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2025. Our U.S. copper mines’ average unit net cash costs for the year 2025 would change by approximately $0.01 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2025.
South America
We manage two copper operations in South America – Cerro Verde in Peru (55.08%-owned) and El Abra in Chile (51%-owned), which are consolidated in our financial statements.
South America operations include open-pit mining, sulfide-ore concentrating, leaching and SX/EW facilities. Production from our South America operations is sold as copper concentrate or cathode under long-term contracts.
Our South America operations also sell a portion of their copper concentrate production to Atlantic Copper. In addition to copper, the Cerro Verde mine produces molybdenum concentrate and silver.
Development Activities. At the El Abra operations in Chile, we have completed substantial drilling and evaluations to define a large sulfide resource that could support a potential major mill project similar to the large-scale concentrator at Cerro Verde. The estimated resource approximates 20 billion recoverable pounds of copper, which could result in the addition of 750 million pounds of copper production per year. We have advanced stakeholder engagement and preparation of our permitting application and plan to submit an environmental impact statement in first-quarter 2026. Preliminary estimates, which remain under review, indicate that the project economics would be supported using an incentive copper price of less than $4.00 per pound. The decision to proceed with and timing of the potential project will take into account overall copper market conditions, required permitting and other factors.

a.Includes $0.12 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2024 and $0.11 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2024 for nonrecurring labor-related charges at Cerro Verde associated with new CLAs.
b.Includes charges for feasibility and optimization studies totaling $0.06 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2025, third-quarter 2024 and for the first nine months of 2025, and $0.05 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2024.
Our South America operations have varying cost structures because of differences in ore grades and characteristics, processing costs, by-product credits and other factors. Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America operations totaled $2.30 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2025, $2.44 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2024, $2.38 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2025 and $2.50 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2024. Lower average unit net cash costs in the 2025 periods, compared to the 2024 periods, reflect higher by-product credits and lower treatment charges, partly offset by the impact of lower copper volumes.
Revenues from Cerro Verde’s copper concentrate sales are recorded net of treatment charges, which will vary with its sales volumes and the price of copper.
Because certain assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, South America’s unit depreciation rate may vary with asset additions and the level of copper production and sales.
Revenue adjustments primarily result from changes in prices on provisionally priced copper sales recognized in prior periods. Refer to “Consolidated Results – Revenues” for further discussion of adjustments to prior period provisionally priced copper sales.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for our South America operations are expected to approximate $2.45 per pound of copper for the year 2025, based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming an average price of $25.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2025.
In October 2025, El Abra and its two workers' unions signed new CLAs, which expire on April 30, 2029. No significant charges are expected to be recorded in fourth-quarter 2025 associated with the new CLAs.
Indonesia
PTFI operates one of the world’s largest copper and gold mines at the Grasberg minerals district in Central Papua, Indonesia. PTFI produces copper concentrate that contains significant quantities of gold and silver. We have a 48.76% ownership interest in PTFI and manage its operations. PTFI's results are consolidated in our financial statements. With the completion of PTFI’s newly constructed downstream processing facilities, PTFI became a fully integrated producer of refined copper and gold.
Operating, Development and Exploration Activities. Over a multi-year investment period, PTFI has successfully commissioned three large-scale underground mines in the Grasberg minerals district (Grasberg Block Cave, DMLZ and Big Gossan) and related expansion of the milling facilities. At normal operating rates, PTFI’s underground operations produce approximately 1.7 billion pounds of copper and 1.4 million ounces of gold per year and are among the lowest cost operations in the world.
PTFI is also conducting exploration in the Grasberg minerals district targeting the potential extension of significant mineralization below the DMLZ underground mine.
Grasberg Minerals District Mud Rush Incident. On September 8, 2025, PTFI experienced a mud rush incident, which was unprecedented in its multi-decade history of block cave mining in the Grasberg minerals district. During the incident, a sudden rush of approximately 800,000 metric tons of wet material entered the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine from the former Grasberg open pit and traveled rapidly to multiple levels of the mine, including a service level where seven team members were later found deceased.
Mining operations were temporarily suspended following the incident to prioritize the recovery of the seven team members fatally injured during the incident and to conduct an investigation into the root cause of the incident. The recovery efforts were completed on October 5, 2025, and the investigation is advancing toward completion. Damage assessments, which are expected to be completed by year-end 2025, are being conducted in parallel with ongoing mud removal activities.
In late October 2025, PTFI restarted operations at the unaffected Big Gossan and DMLZ underground mines. A phased restart and ramp-up of the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine is anticipated to begin during 2026. We and PTFI, including external experts, are completing an investigation of the root cause of the incident and to identify
actions required to safeguard against recurrence. In parallel, and in coordination with Indonesia government authorities, future production plans are being evaluated and damage assessments are being completed.
Refer to Note 7 and “Grasberg Minerals District Mud Rush Incident” for further discussion.
Kucing Liar. PTFI is conducting long-term mine development activities at its Kucing Liar deposit in the Grasberg minerals district. Kucing Liar is expected to produce over 7 billion pounds of copper and 6 million ounces of gold between 2029 and the end of 2041, and an extension of PTFI’s operating rights beyond 2041 would extend the life of the project. Development activities commenced in 2022 and are expected to continue over an approximate 10-year timeframe. As of September 30, 2025, PTFI has incurred approximately $1.0 billion for Kucing Liar, and capital investments are estimated to total $4 billion over the next seven to eight years (averaging approximately $0.5 billion per year). At full operating rates, annual production from Kucing Liar is expected to approximate 560 million pounds of copper and 520 thousand ounces of gold, providing PTFI with sustained long-term, large-scale and low-cost production. Kucing Liar will benefit from substantial shared infrastructure and PTFI’s experience and long-term success in block-cave mining.
PTFI’s Downstream Processing Facilities. In July 2025, PTFI’s new smelter in Eastern Java, Indonesia, produced its first copper cathode. The PMR, which commenced operations in December 2024, continued its ramp-up during third-quarter 2025, processing anode slimes from PT Smelting.
Following the September 2025 mud rush incident and related suspension of mining activities at the Grasberg minerals district, smelting and refining operations at PTFI’s downstream processing facilities and at PT Smelting have operated with limited availability and are currently on stand-by status, pending the delivery of copper concentrate.
Natural Gas Facilities. PTFI plans to transition its existing energy source from coal to natural gas, which would meaningfully reduce PTFI’s greenhouse gas emissions at the Grasberg minerals district. Following the September 2025 mud rush incident, PTFI’s planned investments for a new gas-fired combined cycle facility have been deferred by 18 months. Once complete, PTFI’s dual-fuel power plant and the new gas-fired combined cycle facility will be fueled by natural gas supplied by a floating liquefied natural gas storage and regassification unit.
Long-term Mining Rights. With the completion of PTFI’s downstream processing facilities during 2025, FCX and PTFI have advanced discussions with the Indonesia government for a long-term extension of PTFI’s operating rights beyond the current expiration in 2041. An extension would enable continuity of large-scale operations for the benefit of all stakeholders and provide growth options through additional resource development opportunities in the highly attractive Grasberg minerals district.
PTFI is preparing its application for a long-term extension expected to cover the life of the resource, which is expected to be submitted in fourth-quarter 2025. In connection with the extension, PTFI expects to pursue additional exploration, conduct studies for future additional development and expand its social programs. We expect to maintain our ownership interest of approximately 49% through 2041 and would transfer an additional interest in PTFI to a state-owned enterprise beginning in 2042, leaving us to hold an approximately 37% interest. We also expect the existing governance agreements would continue over the life of the resource.

Historically, PTFI recognized concentrate sales upon loading of shipments; however, PTFI’s future concentrate production will be processed by PT Smelting and its smelter, and refined sales will be recognized after processing and sale of the metal. Accordingly, PTFI may experience higher variability between production and sales.
PTFI’s consolidated copper and gold production and sales volumes for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 were impacted by the temporary suspension of operations following the September 2025 mud rush incident. Lower production and sales volumes for the 2025 periods, compared to the 2024 periods, also reflected anticipated lower ore grades and operating rates.
Consolidated sales volumes from PTFI are expected to approximate 1.2 billion pounds of copper and 1.0 million ounces of gold for the year 2025, which assumes minimal fourth-quarter 2025 sales prior to a phased ramp-up of refined copper and gold sales in 2026. We expect higher variability between PTFI production and sales until PTFI’s downstream processing facilities achieve normalized operating rates.
Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance; the timing of restarting and ramping up mining and smelting operations at PTFI following the September 2025 mud rush incident; weather-related conditions; and other factors detailed in the “Cautionary Statement” below.
Unit Net Cash (Credits) Costs. We believe unit net cash (credits) costs per pound of copper is a measure that provides investors with information about the cash-generating capacity of our mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for our respective operations. We use this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by our mining operations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This measure is presented by other metals mining companies, although our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Gross Profit per Pound of Copper and per Ounce of Gold
The following tables summarize the unit net cash (credits) costs and gross profit per pound of copper and per ounce of gold at our Indonesia mining operations for the third quarters and first nine months of 2025 and 2024. Refer to “Product Revenues and Production Costs” for an explanation of “by-product” and “co-product” methods and a reconciliation of unit net cash (credits) costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in our consolidated financial statements.

a.Excludes costs associated with PT Smelting’s planned maintenance and idle facility related tolling fees (refer to note c below).
b.Includes idle facility costs resulting from the September 2025 mud rush incident totaling $0.07 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2025 and $0.02 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2025 (refer to note c below for additional idle facility costs included in noncash and other costs, net).
c.Includes charges (i) for idle facility costs and recovery efforts associated with the September 2025 mud rush incident totaling $0.47 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2025 and $0.16 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2025, (ii) tolling fees that were recognized as idle facility costs associated with PT Smelting’s planned maintenance turnaround totaling $0.11 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2025 and $0.04 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2025 and (iii)
remediation costs related to the October 2024 fire incident at the smelter not recoverable under PTFI’s construction insurance program totaling $0.07 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2025 and $0.05 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2025.
d.Includes charges for operational readiness and startup costs associated with PTFI’s downstream processing facilities totaling $0.23 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2025, $0.09 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2024, $0.17 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2025 and $0.06 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2024. Also includes charges for amounts capitalized in prior years associated with the construction of PTFI’s downstream processing facilities totaling $0.02 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2025 and $0.03 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2024.
A significant portion of PTFI’s costs are fixed and unit costs will vary depending on volumes and other factors. PTFI’s unit net cash credits (including by-product credits) were $0.92 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2025, $0.71 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2024, $0.53 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2025 and $0.34 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2024. Favorable unit net cash credits in the 2025 periods, compared with the 2024 periods, primarily reflect lower treatment charges, partly offset by the impact of lower copper volumes and higher export duties. In addition, the first nine months of 2025 benefited from higher gold credits.
Additionally, PTFI's site production and delivery costs for the 2025 periods exclude $171 million of idle facility costs and recovery expenses associated with the September 2025 mud rush incident and $39 million of tolling fees that were recognized as idle facility costs associated with PT Smelting’s planned maintenance turnaround. During the phased restart and ramp-up of operations in fourth-quarter 2025 and in 2026, a portion of PTFI’s cost of sales is expected to be recognized as idle facility costs, which are non-inventoriable costs.
Treatment charges vary with the volume of metals sold and the price of copper, and royalties vary with the volume of metals sold and the prices of copper and gold. The decrease in treatment charges in the 2025 periods, compared to the 2024 periods, primarily reflects lower treatment charge rates as a result of favorable market conditions.
Prior to the expiration of PTFI’s export license on September 16, 2025, export duties were assessed on its copper concentrate sales at a rate of 7.5%.
Because certain assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, PTFI’s unit depreciation rate may vary with asset additions, the level of copper volumes and changes in gold inventory.
Revenue adjustments primarily result from changes in prices on provisionally priced copper sales recognized in prior periods. Refer to “Consolidated Results – Revenues” for further discussion of adjustments to prior period provisionally priced copper sales.
Average unit net cash credits (including by-product credits and excluding estimated expenses attributable to the September 2025 mud rush incident at PTFI for idle facility costs and recovery efforts) for PTFI are expected to approximate $0.53 per pound of copper for the year 2025, based on achievement of current sales volumes and cost estimates, and assuming an average price of $4,000 per ounce of gold in fourth-quarter 2025. PTFI’s average unit net cash credits for the year 2025 would change by approximately $0.01 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold in fourth-quarter 2025.
PTFI’s projected production and sales volumes and unit net cash credits for the year 2025 are dependent on operational performance; the timing of restarting and ramping up mining and smelting operations at PTFI following the September 2025 mud rush incident; weather-related conditions; and other factors. Refer to “Cautionary Statement” below, and Item 1A. “Risk Factors” contained in Part I of our 2024 Form 10-K for further discussion of factors that could cause results to differ materially from projections.
Molybdenum Mines
We operate two wholly owned primary molybdenum operations in Colorado – the Climax open-pit mine and the Henderson underground mine. The Climax and Henderson mines produce high-purity, chemical-grade molybdenum concentrate, which is typically further processed into value-added molybdenum chemical products. The majority of the molybdenum concentrate produced at the Climax and Henderson mines and at our U.S. copper mines and Cerro Verde mine is processed at our conversion facilities.
Operating and Development Activities. Production from the Molybdenum mines totaled 8 million pounds of molybdenum in third-quarter 2025, 6 million pounds in third-quarter 2024, 26 million pounds for the first nine months of 2025 and 21 million pounds for the first nine months of 2024. Refer to “Consolidated Results” for our consolidated molybdenum operating data, which includes sales of molybdenum produced at our primary molybdenum mines and from our U.S. copper mines and Cerro Verde mine. Refer to “Outlook” for projected consolidated molybdenum sales volumes and to “Markets” for a discussion of molybdenum prices.
Unit Net Cash Costs Per Pound of Molybdenum. We believe unit net cash costs per pound of molybdenum is a measure that provides investors with information about the cash-generating capacity of our mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for our respective operations. We use this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by our mining operations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This measure is presented by other metals mining companies, although our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Average unit net cash costs for our Molybdenum mines were $19.41 per pound of molybdenum in third-quarter 2025, $21.06 per pound of molybdenum in third-quarter 2024, $15.60 per pound of molybdenum for the first nine months of 2025 and $18.59 per pound of molybdenum for the first nine months of 2024. Lower average unit net cash costs in the 2025 periods, compared with the 2024 periods, primarily reflect higher volumes and lower contract labor costs.
Based on achievement of current sales volumes and cost estimates, average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines are expected to average approximately $15.61 per pound of molybdenum for the year 2025. Refer to “Product Revenues and Production Costs” for a reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in our consolidated financial statements.
Downstream Processing Facilities
Through our downstream integration, we are able to place a significant portion of our copper concentrate production. PTFI’s downstream processing facilities in Eastern Java, Indonesia, are wholly owned and operated, and PTFI has a 66% ownership interest in PT Smelting (39.5% prior to June 30, 2024), which is operated by Mitsubishi Materials Corporation. We wholly own and operate the Miami smelter and rod mill in Arizona, the El Paso refinery and rod mill in Texas, and the Atlantic Copper smelter and refinery in Huelva, Spain.
We manufacture continuous cast copper rod at our U.S. rod facilities primarily using copper produced at our U.S. copper mines and processing facilities. Rod production from these facilities approximated one billion pounds for each of the last three years, and is expected to approximate one billion pounds for the year 2025.
PTFI smelts and refines copper concentrate from its mining operations and operates a PMR to process anode slimes from its smelter and PT Smelting. With the completion of its newly constructed downstream processing facilities, PTFI became a fully integrated producer of refined copper and gold. Treatment charges reflecting the cost of smelting and refining operations are recorded in production and delivery costs.
During third-quarter 2025, PT Smelting completed a planned major maintenance turnaround. However, operational challenges with a third-party oxygen plant caused a delay in the restart of operations. As a result, $39 million of tolling fees paid by PTFI in third-quarter 2025 were recognized as idle facility costs.
PTFI recorded charges for operational readiness and startup costs associated with its downstream processing facilities totaling $83 million in third-quarter 2025, $39 million in third-quarter 2024, $185 million for the first nine months of 2025 and $74 million for the first nine months of 2024. We estimate that operational readiness and startup costs associated with PTFI’s downstream processing facilities will approximate $190 million for the year 2025.
Our Miami smelter in Arizona has been operating for over 100 years and has been upgraded numerous times during that period to implement new technologies, improve production and comply with air quality requirements. We performed a major maintenance turnaround for the Miami smelter in first-quarter 2025 and incurred maintenance charges and idle facility costs totaling $73 million for the first nine months of 2025.
Atlantic Copper smelts and refines copper concentrate and markets refined copper and precious metals in slimes. During the first nine months of 2025, Atlantic Copper’s copper concentrate purchases included 22% from our copper mining operations and 78% from third parties. Atlantic Copper’s treatment charges, which consist of a base rate per pound of copper and per ounce of gold, are generally fixed and represent a cost to our mining operations and income to Atlantic Copper (i.e., higher treatment charges benefit our Atlantic Copper operations). Our U.S. copper mines are less significantly affected by changes in treatment charges because these operations are largely integrated with our Miami smelter and El Paso refinery.
We defer recognizing profits on sales from our mining operations to Atlantic Copper until final sales to third parties occur. Changes in these deferrals attributable to variability in intercompany volumes resulted in net additions (reductions) to operating income totaling $13 million ($15 million to net income attributable to common stock) in third-quarter 2025, $(42) million ($(13) million to net income attributable to common stock) in third-quarter 2024, $161 million ($58 million to net income attributable to common stock) for the first nine months of 2025 and $79 million ($23 million to net income attributable to common stock) for the first nine months of 2024. Our net deferred profits on our inventories at Atlantic Copper to be recognized in future periods’ operating income totaled $52 million ($17 million to net income attributable to common stock) at September 30, 2025. Quarterly variations in ore grades, the timing of intercompany shipments and changes in product prices will result in variability in our net deferred profits and quarterly earnings.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Our consolidated operating cash flows vary with sales volumes; prices realized from copper, gold and molybdenum sales; production costs; income taxes; other working capital changes; and other factors.
We remain focused on managing operating and capital costs efficiently and continue to advance several important value-enhancing initiatives. 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 sufficient liquidity, will allow us to continue to execute our business plans in a prudent manner during periods of economic uncertainty while preserving substantial future asset values. We closely monitor market and business conditions and adjust our operating plans to protect liquidity and preserve our asset values, when necessary. We expect to maintain a strong balance sheet and liquidity position as we focus on building long-term value in our business, executing our operating plans safely, responsibly and efficiently, and prudently managing operating costs and capital expenditures.
Based on current sales volume, cost and metal price estimates and planned capital expenditures discussed in “Outlook,” our available cash and cash equivalents plus our projected consolidated operating cash flows of $5.5 billion for the year 2025 exceed our expected consolidated capital expenditures of $4.5 billion. While evaluation of PTFI’s operating plans, including production and sales estimates and cost and capital budgets are ongoing following the September 2025 mud rush incident, and revised plans are expected to be finalized following completion of the investigation and damage assessments, we expect the incident to have a significant impact on our fourth-quarter 2025 and 2026 operating and financial results (refer to “Grasberg Minerals District Mud Rush Incident” for further discussion).
We expect to have cash on hand and the financial flexibility to fund capital expenditures and our other cash requirements for the next 12 months, including noncontrolling interest distributions, income tax payments, current common stock dividends (base and variable) and any share or debt repurchases. Planned capital expenditures for major projects over the next few years are primarily associated with underground mine development in the Grasberg minerals district and expansion projects in the U.S. At September 30, 2025, we had $4.3 billion in consolidated cash and cash equivalents, and FCX, PTFI and Cerro Verde have $3.0 billion, $1.5 billion and $350 million, respectively, of availability under their revolving credit facilities.
Financial Policy. Our financial policy is aligned with our strategic objectives of maintaining a strong balance sheet, providing cash returns to shareholders and 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 us maintaining our net debt at a level not to exceed the net debt target of $3.0 billion to $4.0 billion (excluding debt for PTFI’s downstream processing facilities). Our Board of Directors (Board) reviews the structure of the performance-based payout framework at least annually.
At September 30, 2025, our net debt totaled $1.7 billion, which excludes $3.2 billion of debt for PTFI’s downstream processing facilities. Refer to "Net Debt" for further discussion.
On September 24, 2025, our Board declared cash dividends totaling $0.15 per share on our common stock (including a $0.075 per share quarterly base cash dividend and a $0.075 per share quarterly variable, performance-based cash dividend), which were paid on November 3, 2025, to shareholders of record as of October 15, 2025. The base and variable dividends on our common stock totaled $0.60 per share for 2025, comprised of a $0.30 per share base dividend and $0.30 per share variable dividend.
As of October 31, 2025, we have acquired a total of 52 million shares ($38.51 average cost per share) and have $3.0 billion available under our current share repurchase program. We had 1.4 billion shares of common stock outstanding at October 31, 2025. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion.
The declaration and payment of dividends (base or variable) and timing and amount of any share repurchases are at the discretion of our Board and management, respectively, and are subject to a number of factors, including not exceeding our net debt target, capital availability, financial results, cash requirements, global economic conditions, changes in laws, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our Board or management, as applicable. Our share repurchase program may be modified, increased, suspended or terminated at any time at our Board’s discretion.
Cash
Following is a summary of the U.S. and international components of consolidated cash and cash equivalents available to the parent company, net of noncontrolling interests’ share and withholding taxes, at September 30, 2025 (in billions):
| | | | | | | | | |
| Cash at domestic companies | $ | 1.8 | | | |
| Cash at international operations | 2.5 | |
| |
| Total consolidated cash and cash equivalents | 4.3 | | | |
| | | |
| Noncontrolling interests’ share | (1.2) | | | |
| Cash, net of noncontrolling interests’ share | 3.1 | | | |
| Withholding taxes | (0.1) | |
| |
| Net cash available | $ | 3.0 | | | |
Cash held at our international operations is generally used to support our foreign operations’ capital expenditures, operating expenses, debt repayments, working capital or other cash needs. Management believes that sufficient liquidity is available in the U.S. from cash balances and availability from our revolving credit facility. We elected to not permanently reinvest earnings from our foreign subsidiaries, and we recorded deferred tax liabilities for foreign earnings that are available to be repatriated to the U.S. From time to time, our foreign subsidiaries distribute earnings to the U.S. through dividends that are subject to applicable withholding taxes and noncontrolling interests’ share.
Debt
At September 30, 2025, consolidated debt totaled $9.3 billion, with a weighted-average interest rate of 5.2%. Substantially all of our outstanding debt is fixed rate and our total debt has an average remaining duration of approximately nine years. There are no senior note maturities scheduled in 2026 and $1.3 billion scheduled in 2027. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion of debt.
Operating Activities
We generated operating cash flows of $4.9 billion (net of $0.5 billion for working capital and other uses) for the first nine months of 2025 and $5.7 billion for the first nine months of 2024. Operating cash flows in the first nine months of 2025, compared with the first nine months of 2024, primarily reflect lower copper and gold sales volumes, which were impacted by the temporary suspension of operations at PTFI since the September 2025 mud rush incident, partly offset by higher copper and gold prices. Operating cash flows for the first nine months of 2025 were also impacted by an increase in accounts receivable associated with the timing of collections in the normal course of business and higher tax payments in Indonesia, partly offset by reserves associated with asbestos and talc claims (refer to Note 7).
Investing Activities
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, totaled $3.5 billion for the first nine months of 2025 and $3.6 billion for the first nine months of 2024, and include amounts for major projects ($1.7 billion for the first nine months of 2025 and $1.3 billion for the first nine months of 2024), primarily associated with underground development activities in the Grasberg minerals district and for PTFI’s downstream processing facilities ($0.6 billion for the first nine months of 2025 and $1.0 billion for the first nine months of 2024).
Insurance Recoveries. During third-quarter 2025, PTFI collected $25 million under its construction insurance program associated with the 2024 smelter fire incident. Additional recoveries are expected by early 2026.
Acquisition of additional ownership interest in Cerro Verde. In September 2024, we purchased 5.3 million shares of Cerro Verde common stock for a total cost of $210 million, increasing our ownership interest in Cerro Verde to 55.08% from 53.56%.
Financing Activities
Debt Transactions. Net proceeds from debt totaled $337 million for the first nine months of 2025, primarily related to borrowings by Atlantic Copper under short-term lines of credit used for working capital requirements. Net proceeds from debt totaled $249 million for the first nine months of 2024, primarily related to borrowings under the PTFI revolving credit facility that were used to fund capital expenditures for its downstream processing facilities.
Cash Dividends on Common Stock. We paid cash dividends on our common stock totaling $0.6 billion during each of the first nine months of 2025 and 2024. Refer to Note 4, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” contained in Part I of our 2024 Form 10-K, “Cautionary Statement” below and the discussion of our financial policy above.
Cash Dividends and Distributions Paid to Noncontrolling Interests. Cash dividends and distributions paid to noncontrolling interests at our international operations totaled $1.3 billion (including $1.0 billion from PTFI) for the first nine months of 2025 and $1.3 billion (including $1.1 billion from PTFI) for the first nine months of 2024. Cash dividends and distributions to noncontrolling interests vary based on the operating results and cash requirements of our consolidated subsidiaries.
Treasury Stock Purchases. In the first nine months of 2025, we acquired 2.9 million shares of our common stock for a total cost of $107 million ($36.41 average cost per share). Refer to Note 4 for further discussion.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations since December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 11 and Part II, Items 7. and 7A. in our 2024 Form 10-K for information regarding our contractual obligations.
CONTINGENCIES
Environmental Obligations and Asset Retirement Obligations (AROs)
Our current and historical operating activities are subject to various environmental laws and regulations. We perform a comprehensive annual review of our environmental obligations and AROs and also review changes in facts and circumstances associated with these obligations at least quarterly.
There have been no significant updates to our environmental obligations and AROs since December 31, 2024, other than as disclosed in Note 7. Refer to Note 10 of our 2024 Form 10-K, as updated in Note 7, for further discussion regarding environmental contingencies and AROs.
Litigation and Other Contingencies
There have been no significant updates to our contingencies associated with legal proceedings and other matters since December 31, 2024, other than as disclosed in Note 7. Refer to Note 10 and “Legal Proceedings” contained in Part I, Item 3. of our 2024 Form 10-K, as updated by Note 7, for further information regarding litigation and other contingencies.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
There were no significant updates to previously reported accounting standards included in Note 1 of our 2024 Form 10-K.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
MD&A is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base these estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that we consider reasonable under the circumstances; however, reported results could differ from those based on the current estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For a description of our critical accounting estimates that require us to make the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, refer to our 2024 Form 10-K. We have not changed any of these policies from those previously disclosed in that report.
NET DEBT
We believe that net debt provides investors with information related to the performance-based payout framework in our financial policy, which requires us to maintain our net debt at a level not to exceed the net debt target of $3 billion to $4 billion (excluding project debt for PTFI’s downstream processing facilities). We define net debt as consolidated debt less consolidated cash and cash equivalents. This information differs from consolidated debt determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for consolidated debt determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our net debt, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, follows (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | |
| As of September 30, 2025 | | | |
| Current portion of debt | $ | 383 | | | | |
| Long-term debt, less current portion | 8,915 | | | | |
| Consolidated debt | 9,298 | | | | |
| Less: consolidated cash and cash equivalents | 4,318 | | | | |
| | | | |
| FCX net debt | 4,980 | | | | |
| Less: debt for PTFI’s downstream processing facilities | 3,235 | | a | | |
| FCX net debt, excluding debt for PTFI’s downstream processing facilities | $ | 1,745 | |
| | |
a.Represents PTFI’s senior notes and $250 million of borrowings under PTFI’s revolving credit facility.
PRODUCT REVENUES AND PRODUCTION COSTS
Mining Product Revenues and Unit Net Cash Costs (Credits)
We believe unit net cash costs (credits) per pound of copper and molybdenum are measures intended to provide investors with information about the cash-generating capacity of our mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for the respective operations. We use this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by our mining operations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures are presented by other metals mining companies, although our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
We present gross profit per pound of copper in the following tables using both a “by-product” method and a “co-product” method. We use the by-product method in our presentation of gross profit per pound of copper because (i) the majority of our revenues are copper revenues, (ii) we mine ore, which contains copper, gold, molybdenum and other metals, (iii) it is not possible to specifically assign all of our costs to revenues from the copper, gold, molybdenum and other metals we produce and (iv) it is the method used by our management and Board to monitor our mining operations and to compare mining operations in certain industry publications. In the co-product method presentations, shared costs are allocated to the different products based on their relative revenue values, which will vary to the extent our metals sales volumes and realized prices change.
We show revenue adjustments for prior period open sales as a separate line item. Because these adjustments do not result from current period sales, these amounts have been reflected separately from revenues on current period sales. Noncash and other costs, net, which are removed from site production and delivery costs in the calculation of unit net cash costs, consist of items such as ARO accretion and other adjustments, inventory write-offs and adjustments, stock-based compensation costs, long-lived asset impairments, idle facility costs, feasibility and optimization study costs, operational readiness and startup costs, restructuring and/or unusual charges. As discussed above, gold, molybdenum and other metal revenues at copper mines are reflected as credits against site production and delivery costs in the by-product method. The following schedules are presentations under both the by-product and co-product methods together with reconciliations to amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
Our discussion and analysis contain forward-looking statements in which we discuss our potential future performance, operations and projects. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements of historical facts, such as plans, projections or expectations relating to business outlook, strategy, goals or targets; the underlying assumptions and estimated impacts on our business and stakeholders related to the mud rush incident at PTFI’s Grasberg Block Cave underground mine; global market conditions, including trade policies; ore grades and milling rates; production and sales volumes; higher variability between PTFI production and sales; unit net cash costs (credits) and operating costs; capital expenditures; operating plans, including mine sequencing; cash flows; liquidity; investigations, repair efforts, and phased restart and ramp-up of production and downstream processing following the mud rush incident at PTFI’s Grasberg Block Cave underground mine and the anticipated impact on future production, sales, results of operations and operating plans, and recoveries under insurance policies; potential extension of PTFI’s special mining business license (IUPK) beyond 2041; timing of shipments of inventoried production; our sustainability-related commitments and targets; our overarching commitment to deliver responsibly produced copper and molybdenum, including plans to implement, validate and maintain validation of our operating sites under specific frameworks; achievement of our 2030 climate targets and our 2050 net zero aspiration; improvements in operating procedures and technology innovations and applications; exploration efforts and results; development and production activities, rates and costs; future organic growth opportunities; tax rates; the impact of copper, gold and molybdenum price changes; the impact of deferred intercompany profits on earnings; mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates; final resolution of settlements associated with ongoing legal and environmental proceedings; debt repurchases; and the ongoing implementation of our financial policy and future returns to shareholders, including dividend payments (base or variable) and share repurchases. The words “anticipates,” “may,” “can,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “targets,” “intends,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “to be,” “potential,” “assumptions,” “guidance,” “aspirations,” “future,” “commitments,” “pursues,” “initiatives,” “objectives,” “opportunities,” “strategy” and any similar expressions are intended to identify those assertions as forward-looking statements. The declaration and payment of dividends (base or variable), and timing and amount of any share repurchases are at the discretion of our Board and management, respectively, and are subject to a number of factors, including not exceeding our net debt target, capital availability, our financial results, cash requirements, global economic conditions, changes in laws, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our Board or management, as applicable. Our share repurchase program may be modified, increased, suspended or terminated at any time at the Board’s discretion.
We caution readers that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated, expected, projected or assumed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that can cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, supply of and demand for, and prices of the commodities we produce, primarily copper and gold; changes in export duties and tariff rates; production rates; timing of shipments and sales; price and availability of consumables and components we purchase as well as constraints on supply and logistics, and transportation services; changes in cash requirements, financial position, financing or investment plans; changes in general market, economic, geopolitical, regulatory or industry conditions, including market volatility regarding trade policies and tariff uncertainty; reductions in liquidity and access to capital; PTFI’s ability to repair mud rush incident-related damage, complete the investigation to the satisfaction of the Indonesian government authorities and implement any recommendations therefrom, safely restart, phase-in ramp-up and achieve full operating rates of production and downstream processing on the expected timeline and optimize production plans; recover amounts under insurance policies; resolve force majeure declarations and maintain relationships with commercial counterparties; changes in tax laws and regulations; political and social risks, including the potential effects of violence in Indonesia, civil unrest in Peru, and relations with local communities and Indigenous Peoples; operational risks inherent in mining, with higher inherent risks in underground mining; mine sequencing; changes in mine plans or operational modifications, delays, deferrals or cancellations, including the ability to smelt and refine or inventory; results of technical, economic or feasibility studies; potential inventory adjustments; potential impairment of long-lived mining assets; satisfaction of requirements in accordance with PTFI’s IUPK to extend mining rights from 2031 through 2041; process relating to the extension of PTFI’s IUPK beyond 2041; cybersecurity risks; any major public health crisis; labor relations, including labor-related work stoppages and increased costs; compliance with applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations; weather- and climate-related risks; environmental risks, including availability of secure water supplies; impacts, expenses or results from litigation or investigations; tailings management; our ability to comply with our responsible production commitments under specific frameworks and any changes to such frameworks and other factors described in more detail under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A. of our 2024 Form 10-K.
Investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions upon which our forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after the date the forward-looking statements are made, including for example commodity prices, which we cannot control, and production volumes and costs or technological solutions and innovations, some aspects of which we may not be able to control. Further, we may make changes to our business plans that could affect our results. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, which are as of the date made, notwithstanding any changes in our assumptions, changes in business plans, actual experience or other changes.
This report on Form 10-Q also contains measures such as net debt and unit net cash costs (credits) per pound of copper and molybdenum, which are not recognized under U.S. GAAP. Refer to “Operations – Unit Net Cash Costs” and “Operations – Unit Net Cash (Credits) Costs” for further discussion of unit net cash costs (credits) associated with our operating divisions, and to “Product Revenues and Production Costs” for reconciliations of per pound costs (credits) by operating division to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in our consolidated financial statements. Refer to “Net Debt” for reconciliations of consolidated debt, and consolidated cash and cash equivalents to net debt. For forward-looking unit net cash costs (credits) per pound of copper and molybdenum measures, we are unable to provide a reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure without unreasonable effort because estimating such U.S. GAAP measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and requires a level of precision that is unavailable for these future periods, and the information needed to reconcile these measures is dependent upon future events, many of which are outside of our control as described above. Forward-looking non-U.S. GAAP measures are estimated consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions.
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There have been no material changes in our market risks during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. For additional information on market risks, refer to “Disclosures About Market Risks” included in Part II, Items 7. and 7A. of our 2024 Form 10-K. For projected sensitivities of our operating cash flow to changes in commodity prices, refer to “Outlook” in Part I, Item 2. of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q; for projected sensitivities of our provisionally priced copper sales to changes in commodity prices refer to “Consolidated Results – Revenues” in Part I, Item 2. of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, with the participation of management, have evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on their evaluation, they have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025.
(b)Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

Management does not believe, based on currently available information, that the outcome of any legal proceeding reported in Part I, Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” and Note 10 of our 2024 Form 10-K, as updated by Note 7 herein, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition; although individual or cumulative outcomes could be material to our operating results for a particular period, depending on the nature and magnitude of the outcome and the operating results for the period.

Item 4.Mine Safety Disclosures.
Our highest priority is the health, safety and well-being of our workforce. We believe health and safety considerations are integral to, and fundamental for, all other functions in our organization, and we understand that the health and safety of our workforce is critical to our operational efficiency and long-term success. Our global health and safety strategy, “Safe Production Matters,” is focused on fatality prevention, eliminating systemic root causes of incidents and continuous improvement through robust management systems, which are supported by leaders empowering our teams to work safely. Foundational to our Safe Production Matters strategy is our Fatal Risk Management (FRM) program. The goal of our FRM program is to achieve zero workplace fatalities by strengthening preventive measures and raising awareness of fatal risks and the measures necessary to mitigate them. The information concerning mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K is included in Exhibit 95.1 to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
