Consolidated Sales Volumes
Copper
•First-quarter 2026 sales of 657 million pounds were higher than January 2026 estimate of 640 million pounds, primarily reflecting timing of shipments. As expected, first-quarter 2026 sales were below first-quarter 2025 sales of 872 million pounds, reflecting lower operating rates at PTFI following the September 2025 mud rush incident.
Gold
•First-quarter 2026 sales of 121 thousand ounces were significantly higher than January 2026 estimate of 60 thousand ounces, primarily reflecting timing of refined gold sales in Indonesia. As expected, first-quarter 2026 sales were below first-quarter 2025 sales, reflecting lower operating rates at PTFI following the September 2025 mud rush incident.
Molybdenum
•First-quarter 2026 sales of 24 million pounds were higher than January 2026 estimate of 22 million pounds and first-quarter 2025 sales of 20 million pounds, primarily reflecting timing of shipments.
Consolidated sales volumes for the year 2026 are expected to approximate 3.1 billion pounds of copper, 650 thousand ounces of gold and 90 million pounds of molybdenum, including 690 million pounds of copper, 140 thousand ounces of gold and 22 million pounds of molybdenum in second-quarter 2026. Current sales estimates for the year 2026 are lower than January 2026 estimates of 3.4 billion pounds of copper and 0.8 million ounces of gold, primarily reflecting a projected delay in achieving full ramp-up of the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine pending modifications to ore loading infrastructure. Refer to “Grasberg Block Cave Ramp-Up” beginning on page 7 for further information.
Consolidated copper and gold production volumes for the year 2026 are expected to exceed sales volumes, reflecting deferrals of approximately 100 million pounds of copper and 50 thousand ounces of gold associated with inventory held at PTFI’s smelting operations.
3
Consolidated Unit Net Cash Costs
Consolidated unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits and excluding idle facility and restoration costs associated with the September 2025 mud rush incident at PTFI) for FCX’s copper mines averaged $1.91 per pound of copper in first-quarter 2026, which were favorable to the January 2026 estimate of $2.60 per pound, primarily reflecting higher by-product credits. First-quarter 2026 average unit cash costs were favorable to first-quarter 2025 average unit net cash costs of $2.07 per pound of copper, primarily reflecting higher by-product credits, partly offset by lower copper volumes at PTFI.
Following the September 2025 mud rush incident and until PTFI’s operations return to normal capacity, a portion of PTFI's production and delivery costs will be recognized as idle facility costs, which are non-inventoriable. Idle facility and restoration costs associated with the September 2025 mud rush incident at PTFI totaled $406 million in first-quarter 2026, which were excluded from consolidated unit net cash costs.
Based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming average prices of $4,500 per ounce of gold and $25.00 per pound of molybdenum for the remainder of 2026, consolidated unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits and excluding idle facility and restoration costs associated with the September 2025 mud rush incident at PTFI) for FCX’s copper mines are expected to average $1.95 per pound of copper for the year 2026 (including $2.24 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2026). Following the onset of military conflict in the Middle East in late February 2026, costs for certain petroleum-based energy products, sulfur and sulfuric acid, and other consumables have risen significantly. Prices for diesel fuel and sulfuric acid have been highly volatile with significant regional dislocation. Accordingly, current cost estimates for the year 2026 are higher than January 2026 estimates, reflecting revised sales volumes at PTFI (refer to “Grasberg Block Cave Ramp-Up” beginning on page 7 for further information) and higher costs for energy and other consumables, partly offset by higher by-product credits.
The impact of price changes on consolidated unit net cash costs for the remainder of 2026 would approximate $0.02 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $0.03 per pound of copper for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.
Projected sales volumes and unit net cash costs for the year 2026 are dependent on operational performance; the ramp-up of the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine at PTFI; impacts related to the conflict in the Middle East, including changes in energy costs and other consumables; weather-related conditions; timing of shipments and other factors detailed in the “Cautionary Statement” below.
Responsible Production
2025 Annual Report on Sustainability. FCX has published its 2025 Annual Report on Sustainability on its website at fcx.com/sustainability, marking FCX’s 25th year of reporting on its progress. FCX is committed to building upon its achievements in sustainability and its position as a leading responsible copper producer.
OPERATIONS
Leaching and Technology Innovation Initiatives. FCX is incorporating new applications, technologies and data analytics into its leaching processes across its United States (U.S.) and South America operations. Incremental copper production from these initiatives totaled 54 million pounds in first-quarter 2026 and 214 million pounds for the year 2025.
FCX continues to apply operational enhancements on a larger scale and is advancing testing of innovative technology to increase production from these initiatives. FCX is targeting annual production of approximately 300 million pounds of copper from these initiatives in 2026, with potential for further significant increases in recoverable metal in future years. FCX is deploying large-scale testing of an internally developed additive product at its Morenci operations with encouraging early results. In addition, FCX has identified other possible additives with strong potential and plans to apply heat to its stockpiles together with the new additives to further enhance recoveries. Continued success with these initiatives would be expected to contribute to additions in recoverable copper in leach stockpiles and favorably impact average unit net cash costs.
In addition to its innovative leaching initiatives, FCX is 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 its current operations and future development projects. FCX believes these leaching and technology initiatives are particularly important to its U.S. operations, which have lower ore grades.
4
United States. FCX manages 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. FCX also operates a copper smelter and rod mill in Miami, Arizona, and copper refinery and rod mill in El Paso, Texas. In addition to copper, certain of these operations produce molybdenum concentrate, gold and silver.
All of FCX’s U.S. operations are wholly owned, except for Morenci. FCX records its 72% undivided joint venture interest in Morenci using the proportionate consolidation method.
Development Activities. FCX has substantial reserves, resources and future opportunities for organic growth in the U.S. associated with existing operations. Several initiatives are under way to target significant future growth in U.S. copper operations, including the leaching and technology innovation initiatives discussed above.
FCX has defined an opportunity 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. FCX completed technical and economic studies in late 2023 and is updating these studies in advance of a potential investment decision during the second half of 2026. 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. Preliminary economics indicate that the expansion would require an incentive copper price of approximately $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.
Conversion of Bagdad’s haul truck fleet to autonomous haulage was completed in 2025, making Bagdad the first major mine in the U.S. to operate a fully autonomous haulage fleet. FCX continues to optimize the performance of the new autonomous fleet at Bagdad and is advancing projects to expand tailings storage facilities and local infrastructure to enhance optionality in the future expansion opportunity.
FCX continues 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 significant expansion project. FCX expects to complete these studies during 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.

FCX’s consolidated copper sales volumes from the U.S. copper mines of 327 million pounds in first-quarter 2026 were higher than first-quarter 2025 copper sales volumes of 307 million pounds, primarily reflecting timing of shipments. Consolidated copper sales from FCX’s U.S. copper mines are expected to approximate 1.4 billion pounds for the year 2026.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the U.S. copper mines of $2.93 per pound of copper in first-quarter 2026 were favorable to first-quarter 2025 average unit net cash costs of $3.11 per pound of copper, primarily reflecting higher by-product credits, partly offset by higher costs for sulfuric acid, diesel fuel and other consumables.
Based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $25.00 per pound of molybdenum for the remainder of 2026, average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the U.S. copper mines are expected to approximate $3.02 per pound of copper for the year 2026. Current cost estimates for 2026 reflect recent pricing impacts for energy and other consumables. The U.S. copper mines’ average unit net cash costs for the year 2026 would change by approximately $0.04 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum for the remainder of 2026.
South America. FCX manages two copper operations in South America – Cerro Verde in Peru (55.08%-owned) and El Abra in Chile (51%-owned). These operations are consolidated in FCX’s financial statements. In addition to copper, the Cerro Verde mine produces molybdenum concentrate and silver.
Development Activities. At the El Abra operations in Chile, FCX has a significant opportunity to expand the operation to include a major mill facility similar to the large-scale concentrator at Cerro Verde. The project could result in the addition of over 700 million pounds of copper production per year. In March 2026, El Abra submitted an environmental impact statement to Chile regulatory authorities. 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 required permitting, market conditions and other factors.

FCX’s consolidated copper sales volumes from South America operations of 248 million pounds in first-quarter 2026 were lower than first-quarter 2025 copper sales volumes of 275 million pounds, primarily reflecting lower leach placements. Copper sales from South America operations are expected to approximate 1.05 billion pounds for the year 2026.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America operations of $2.38 per pound of copper in first-quarter 2026 were lower than first-quarter 2025 average unit net cash costs of $2.40 per pound of copper, primarily reflecting higher by-product credits and lower treatment charges, offset by lower copper volumes and the impact of currency exchange rates on labor costs.
Based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $25.00 per pound of molybdenum for the remainder of 2026, average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America operations are expected to approximate $2.60 per pound of copper for the year 2026. Current cost estimates for 2026 reflect recent pricing impacts for energy and other consumables.
Indonesia. PTFI operates one of the world’s largest copper and gold mines at the Grasberg minerals district in Central Papua, Indonesia. In addition to copper, the Grasberg minerals district also produces gold and silver. With the completion of its downstream processing facilities, PTFI is a fully integrated producer of refined copper and gold. FCX has a 48.76% ownership interest in PTFI and manages its operations. PTFI’s results are consolidated in FCX’s financial statements.
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, Deep Mill Level Zone (DMLZ) and Big Gossan) and completed related expansion of the milling facilities. At normal operating rates, PTFI’s underground operations produce approximately 1.7 billion pounds of copper and 1.3 million ounces of gold per year and are among the lowest cost operations in the world. First-quarter 2026 production of 95 million pounds of copper and 92 thousand ounces of gold primarily reflects the impact of the temporary suspension of operations at the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine following the September 2025 mud rush incident. A phased restart and ramp-up of the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine is in progress.
PTFI is also conducting exploration in the Grasberg minerals district targeting the potential extension of significant mineralization below the DMLZ underground mine.
Long-term Mining Rights. In February 2026, FCX and PTFI entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Indonesia government for a life of resource extension of operating rights in the Grasberg minerals district 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.
Under the terms of the MOU, FCX would maintain its current ownership interest in PTFI of 48.76% through 2041 and hold approximately 37% beginning in 2042. The existing governance and operating structure, and terms of the existing shareholder agreement, special mining business license (IUPK) and other agreements in effect will continue over the life of the resource. PTFI and FCX are working with the Indonesia government to complete the license renewal process.
Grasberg Block Cave Ramp-Up. Following the September 8, 2025, external mud rush incident, PTFI has progressed a series of activities to address the incident and advance preparation for a safe and sustainable restoration of operations.
PTFI previously announced plans for a phased restart and ramp-up of operations, including (i) the successful restart of the unaffected DMLZ and Big Gossan mines in October 2025, (ii) the planned restart of Grasberg Block Cave Production Blocks 2 and 3 in second-quarter 2026 and ramp up in the second half of 2026, (iii) the planned restart of Grasberg Block Cave Production Block 1S in second-quarter 2027 and (iv) the potential restart of Production Block 1C by the end of 2027.
During first-quarter 2026, PTFI completed remediation and restoration activities required for the restart of Production Blocks 2 and 3 and commenced initial ramp-up activities at the end of March 2026. PTFI also continued to advance activities for a planned future start-up of Production Block 1S and risk mitigation strategies associated with drainage and cave management technologies.
7
During initial ramp-up activities in Production Blocks 2 and 3, PTFI encountered changes in operating conditions at the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine following the period of inactivity between September 2025 and April 2026, resulting in a significant increase in the ratio of wet drawpoints compared to the number of drawpoints containing dry material. While PTFI’s existing automated systems to extract ore at the drawpoints are sufficient to support a ramp-up to previously planned levels, modifications to the chute system used to load ore into the automated trains will be required to operate at full capacity. As a result, near-term production from Production Blocks 2 and 3 is expected to be limited to approximately 60% of capacity until required modifications to ore loading infrastructure are made.
Installation of specialized equipment to accommodate the higher percentage of wet ore has commenced and will be sequenced initially to prioritize areas that would benefit the most from the enhancements. PTFI expects the current bottlenecks can be substantially addressed by mid-2027.
PTFI’s overall production rates, which were previously forecast to approximate 85% of capacity in the second half of 2026 and reach 100% of capacity by the end of 2027 are now expected to approximate 65% in the second half of 2026, 80% by mid-2027 and approach full capacity by the end of 2027.
Given the early stage of the initial ramp‑up, production forecasts are inherently more variable than they were prior to the incident. As the ramp‑up progresses over the coming months, additional clarity is expected on a number of factors that could have a positive or negative impact on PTFI’s near‑term forecast. PTFI is confident in the resource, its ability to conduct large‑scale mining safely and efficiently, and its long‑term plans to operate one of the world’s most successful and valuable copper and gold deposits.
In first-quarter 2026, PTFI recognized a gain of $0.7 billion for an insurance settlement associated with the September 2025 mud rush incident under its property and business interruption policies (refer to the supplemental schedule, “Adjusted Net Income,” on page VI). PTFI expects to receive the proceeds from this settlement in second-quarter 2026.
Kucing Liar. Since 2022, PTFI has conducted long-term mine development activities at its Kucing Liar deposit in the Grasberg minerals district. During 2025, PTFI completed studies to evaluate the potential to expand the footprint of the deposit which was previously designed to operate at a long-term rate of 90,000 metric tons of ore per day. The studies identified a low-cost expansion opportunity to increase Kucing Liar’s design capacity to 130,000 metric tons of ore per day and increase Kucing Liar’s reserves by approximately 20%. As a result, PTFI’s preliminary estimates of Kucing Liar reserves currently approximate 8 billion pounds of copper and 8 million ounces of gold to be recovered through 2041, and an extension of PTFI’s operating rights beyond 2041 would extend the life of the project. Average annual Kucing Liar production at full rates would approximate 750 million pounds of copper and 735 thousand ounces of gold. The economic studies took into account an approximate 10% increase in Kucing Liar capital ($0.5 billion), impact to operating rates at the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine and reduction of capital expenditures associated with PTFI’s mine operations in connection with the processing of higher pyrite ore.
At March 31, 2026, PTFI had incurred approximately $1.3 billion for Kucing Liar development, and capital investments are estimated to approximate an additional $4 billion through 2033 (averaging approximately $0.5 billion per year). Initial production is expected to commence ramping up in the 2030 timeframe.
Downstream Processing Facilities. PTFI’s smelter and PT Smelting, PTFI’s 66%-owned smelter and refinery in Gresik, Indonesia, smelt and refine copper concentrate from PTFI, and the PMR processes anode slimes from the smelter and PT Smelting.
Following the September 2025 mud rush incident, smelting operations in Indonesia at both PTFI’s smelter and PT Smelting were adjusted as a result of limited copper concentrate availability. In late December 2025, PT Smelting resumed operations. Shipments to PTFI’s smelter are expected to recommence in the second half of 2026 at a reduced rate dependent on available copper concentrate from mining operations at the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine.
The PMR has operated on a limited basis since the September 2025 mud rush incident, primarily processing anode slimes from PT Smelting.
FCX expects higher variability between PTFI’s production and sales until its downstream processing facilities achieve normalized operating rates.

a.For a reconciliation of unit net cash (credits) costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, “Product Revenues and Production Costs,” beginning on page X.
b.Excludes idle facility and restoration costs associated with the September 2025 mud rush incident. Refer below and to “Adjusted Net Income,” on page VI for a summary of these charges.
c.Reflects downstream tolling fees and operating costs and does not represent market treatment and refining rates. Favorable offsets associated with incremental metals and sulfuric acid produced by PT Smelting and PTFI’s downstream processing facilities are included in revenues and by-product credits.
PTFI’s consolidated sales volumes of 82 million pounds of copper and 116 thousand ounces of gold in first-quarter 2026 were lower than first-quarter 2025 sales volumes of 290 million pounds of copper and 125 thousand ounces of gold, reflecting lower operating rates following the September 2025 mud rush incident.
PTFI’s unit net cash credits (including by-product credits) of $3.53 per pound of copper in first-quarter 2026 were favorable compared to unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) of $0.64 per pound of copper in first-quarter 2025, primarily reflecting higher by-product credits, partly offset by lower volumes.
Following the September 2025 mud rush incident and until PTFI’s operations return to normal capacity, a portion of PTFI’s production and delivery costs will be recognized as idle facility costs, which are non-inventoriable. Idle facility and restoration costs, which were excluded from PTFI's unit net cash credits, totaled $406 million in first-quarter 2026.
Consolidated sales volumes from PTFI are expected to approximate 0.7 billion pounds of copper and 650 thousand ounces of gold for the year 2026. PTFI’s current sales estimates for the year 2026 are lower than January 2026 estimates of 0.9 billion pounds of copper and 0.8 million ounces of gold, primarily reflecting a projected delay in achieving full ramp-up of the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine pending modifications to ore loading infrastructure. Refer to “Grasberg Block Cave Ramp-Up” above for further information. Copper and gold production volumes for the year 2026 are expected to exceed sales volumes, reflecting deferrals of approximately 100 million pounds of copper and 50 thousand ounces of gold associated with inventory held at PTFI’s smelting operations.
Based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $4,500 per ounce of gold for the remainder of 2026, average unit net cash credits (including by-product credits and excluding idle facility and restoration costs associated with the September 2025 mud rush incident) for PTFI are expected to approximate $1.30 per pound of copper for the year 2026. Current cost estimates for 2026 reflect

recent pricing impacts for energy and other consumables. PTFI’s average unit net cash credits for the year 2026 would change by approximately $0.08 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold for the remainder of 2026.
Molybdenum Mines. FCX operates 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 FCX’s U.S. copper mines and Cerro Verde mine, is processed at FCX’s conversion facilities.
Operating and Development Activities. Production from the Molybdenum mines totaled 9 million pounds of molybdenum in both the first quarters of 2026 and 2025. FCX’s consolidated molybdenum sales and average realized prices include sales of molybdenum produced at the primary molybdenum operations and at FCX’s U.S. copper mines and Cerro Verde mine, which are presented on page 3.
Average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines of $15.69 per pound of molybdenum in first-quarter 2026 were higher than average unit net cash costs of $13.72 per pound in first-quarter 2025, primarily reflecting higher costs for labor, supplies and energy. Average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines are expected to approximate $17.80 per pound of molybdenum for the year 2026, based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates.
For a reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, “Product Revenues and Production Costs,” beginning on page X.
LIQUIDITY, CASH FLOWS, CASH AND DEBT
Liquidity. At March 31, 2026, FCX had $3.7 billion in consolidated cash and cash equivalents. FCX also had $3.0 billion of availability under its revolving credit facility, and PTFI and Cerro Verde had $1.5 billion and $350 million, respectively, of availability under their revolving credit facilities.
Operating Cash Flows. FCX generated operating cash flows of $1.5 billion, including $0.1 billion of working capital and other sources, in first-quarter 2026.
FCX’s consolidated operating cash flows are expected to approximate $8.7 billion for the year 2026, including $0.2 billion of working capital and other sources, based on current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming prices of $6.00 per pound of copper, $4,500 per ounce of gold and $25.00 per pound of molybdenum for the remainder of 2026. The impact of price changes for the remainder of 2026 on operating cash flows would approximate $220 million for each $0.10 per pound change in the average price of copper, $50 million for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $90 million for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures totaled $1.0 billion in first-quarter 2026, including $0.6 billion for major mining projects.
Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $4.3 billion for the year 2026, including $3.0 billion for major mining projects. Projected capital expenditures for major mining projects include $1.4 billion for planned projects, primarily associated with underground mine development in the Grasberg minerals district, and $1.6 billion for discretionary growth projects.

FINANCIAL POLICY
FCX’s financial policy is aligned with its strategic objectives of maintaining a solid 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 FCX maintaining its net debt at a level not to exceed the net debt target of $3.0 billion to $4.0 billion (excluding project debt for PTFI’s downstream processing facilities). FCX’s Board of Directors (Board) reviews the structure of the performance-based payout framework at least annually.
Net Debt. At March 31, 2026, FCX’s net debt totaled $2.4 billion, which excludes $3.2 billion of debt for PTFI’s downstream processing facilities. Refer to the supplemental schedule, “Net Debt,” on page VII.
Common Stock Dividends. On March 25, 2026, FCX’s Board declared cash dividends totaling $0.15 per share on its common stock (including a $0.075 per share quarterly base cash dividend and a $0.075 per share quarterly variable, performance-based cash dividend), which will be paid on May 1, 2026, to shareholders of record as of April 15, 2026. The declaration and payment of dividends (base or variable) are at the discretion of the Board and will depend on FCX’s financial results, cash requirements, global economic conditions and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.
Share Repurchase Program. During first-quarter 2026, FCX purchased 1.7 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $93 million ($54.25 average cost per share), bringing total purchases under its $5.0 billion share repurchase program to 53.7 million shares for a total cost of $2.1 billion ($39.01 average cost per share). As of April 22, 2026, FCX has 1.4 billion shares of common stock outstanding and $2.9 billion is available under its share repurchase program. The timing and amount of share repurchases is at the discretion of management and will depend on a variety of factors. The share repurchase program may be modified, increased, suspended or terminated at any time at the Board’s discretion.
CONFERENCE CALL

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 the 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 the Board or management, as applicable. The share repurchase program may be modified, increased, suspended or terminated at any time at the Board’s discretion.
FCX cautions 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 FCX’s 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 FCX produces, primarily copper and gold; changes in export duties and tariff rates; production rates; timing of shipments and sales; PTFI’s ability to repair mud rush incident-related damage, implement enhanced operating procedures, safely restart with a phased ramp-up and achieve full operating rates of production and downstream processing on the expected timeline and optimize production plans; resolve force majeure declarations and maintain relationships with commercial counterparties; price and availability of consumables and components FCX purchases 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; 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; FCX’s ability to comply with its responsible production commitments under specific frameworks and any changes to such frameworks and other factors described in more detail under the heading “Risk Factors” in FCX’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions upon which FCX’s forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after the date the forward-looking statements are made, including for example commodity prices, which FCX cannot control, and production volumes and costs or technological solutions and innovations, some aspects of which FCX may not be able to control. Further, FCX may make changes to its business plans that could affect its results. FCX undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, which are as of the date made, notwithstanding any changes in its assumptions, changes in business plans, actual experience or other changes.
This press release also contains measures such as net debt, adjusted net income and unit net cash costs (credits) per pound of copper and molybdenum, which are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to amounts reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements are in the supplemental schedules of this press release. For forward-looking unit net cash costs (credits) per pound of copper and molybdenum measures, FCX is unable to provide a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort because estimating such 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 FCX’s control as described above. Forward-looking non-GAAP measures are estimated consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions.

The U.S. jurisdiction also includes net revisions to environmental obligation estimates and charges associated with legacy oil and gas properties, which are described in “Adjusted Net Income,” on page VI, as applicable.
c.In accordance with applicable accounting standards, FCX adjusts its interim provision for income taxes equal to its consolidated tax rate.

FREEPORT
INCOME TAXES (continued)
Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and prices of $6.00 per pound for copper, $4,500 per ounce for gold and $25.00 per pound for molybdenum for the remainder of 2026, FCX estimates its consolidated effective tax rate for the year 2026 would approximate 30%. Changes in projected sales volumes and average prices during 2026 would incur tax impacts at estimated effective rates of 40% for Peru, 36% for Indonesia and 0% for the U.S. At higher copper prices, FCX’s U.S. jurisdiction may be subject to the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax provisions of the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. However, given its U.S. tax position, FCX would expect the consolidated effective tax rates to decline because of a higher share of earnings from U.S. operations.
NET DEBT
FCX believes that net debt provides investors with information related to the performance-based payout framework in FCX’s financial policy, which requires FCX to maintain its 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). FCX defines 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. FCX’s net debt, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, follows (in millions):

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, FCX’s mined copper was sold 38% as rod, 34% as cathode, and 28% in concentrate. All of FCX’s copper concentrate and some cathode sales contracts provide final copper pricing in a specified future month (generally one to four months from the shipment date) based primarily on quoted London Metal Exchange (LME) monthly average settlement copper prices. FCX records revenues and invoices customers at the time of shipment based on then-current LME prices, which results in an embedded derivative on provisionally priced concentrate and cathode sales that is adjusted to fair value through earnings each period, using the period-end forward prices, until final pricing on the date of settlement.
FCX’s average realized copper price was $5.78 per pound in first-quarter 2026, reflecting copper sales from South America and Indonesia operations, which are generally based on quoted LME monthly average settlement copper prices, which averaged $5.83 per pound in first-quarter 2026, and copper sales from U.S. copper mines, which are generally based on prevailing Commodity Exchange Inc. (COMEX) monthly average settlement copper prices, which averaged $5.79 per pound in first-quarter 2026.

At March 31, 2026, FCX had provisionally priced copper sales totaling 136 million pounds (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average price of $5.58 per pound, subject to final LME settlement prices over the next several months. FCX estimates that each $0.05 change in the price realized from the quarter-end provisional price would have an approximate $12 million effect on 2026 revenues ($4 million to net income attributable to common stock). The LME copper settlement price was $5.99 per pound on April 22, 2026.

FREEPORT
DEFERRED PROFITS
FCX defers recognizing profits on intercompany sales from its 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 to operating income totaling $70 million ($23 million to net income attributable to common stock) in first-quarter 2026 and $114 million ($34 million to net income attributable to common stock) in first-quarter 2025. FCX’s net deferred profits on inventories at Atlantic Copper to be recognized in future periods’ operating income totaled $68 million ($22 million to net income attributable to common stock) at March 31, 2026. Quarterly variations in ore grades, the timing of intercompany shipments and changes in product prices will result in variability in FCX’s net deferred profits and quarterly earnings.
NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, which is primarily associated with PTFI, Cerro Verde and El Abra, totaled $506 million in first-quarter 2026 (which represented 25% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes) and $441 million in first-quarter 2025 (which represented 34% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes). Refer to “Business Divisions and Segments” below for net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for each of FCX’s business segments.
Based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming prices of $6.00 per pound of copper, $4,500 per ounce of gold and $25.00 per pound of molybdenum for the remainder of 2026, FCX estimates that net income attributable to noncontrolling interests will approximate $2.0 billion for the year 2026, which would represent approximately 24% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes. The actual amount will depend on many factors, including relative performance of each business segment, commodity prices, costs and other factors.
BUSINESS DIVISIONS AND SEGMENTS
FCX has organized its mining operations into four primary divisions – U.S. copper mines, South America operations, Indonesia operations and Molybdenum mines.
In the U.S., FCX operates seven copper operations – Morenci, Bagdad, Safford (including Lone Star), Sierrita and Miami in Arizona, and Chino and Tyrone in New Mexico, and two molybdenum mines – Henderson and Climax in Colorado. A majority of the copper produced at the U.S. copper mines is cast into copper rod by the U.S. Rod & Refining operations.
In South America, FCX operates two copper operations – Cerro Verde in Peru and El Abra in Chile.
In Indonesia, PTFI operates the Grasberg minerals district. With the completion of its downstream processing facilities, PTFI is a fully integrated producer of refined copper and gold.
U.S. Rod & Refining consists of copper conversion facilities, including a refinery and two rod mills. These operations process copper produced at FCX’s U.S. copper mines and purchased copper into copper cathode and rod. At times, these operations refine copper and produce copper rod for customers on a toll basis.
Atlantic Copper in Spain smelts and refines copper concentrate and markets refined copper and precious metals in slimes.
Intersegment sales are based on terms similar to arms-length transactions with third parties at the time of the sale. Intersegment sales may not be reflective of the actual prices ultimately realized because of a variety of factors, including additional processing, the timing of sales to unaffiliated customers and transportation premiums.
FCX allocates certain operating costs, expenses and capital expenditures to its business divisions and 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 in the below tables), 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 business divisions and segments. Accordingly, the following information reflects management determinations that may not be indicative of what the actual financial performance of each business division and segment would be if it was an independent entity.

PRODUCT REVENUES AND PRODUCTION COSTS
FCX believes 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 its mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for the respective operations. FCX uses this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by its mining operations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures are presented by other metals mining companies, although FCX’s measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
FCX presents gross profit per pound of copper in the following tables using both a “by-product” method and a “co-product” method. FCX uses the by-product method in its presentation of gross profit per pound of copper because (i) the majority of its revenues are copper revenues, (ii) it mines ore, which contains copper, gold, molybdenum and other metals, (iii) it is not possible to specifically assign all of FCX’s costs to revenues from the copper, gold, molybdenum and other metals it produces and (iv) it is the method used by FCX’s management and Board of Directors to monitor its mining operations and to compare mining operations in certain industry publications. In the co-product method presentations, shared costs are allocated to the different products based on their relative revenue values, which will vary to the extent FCX’s metals sales volumes and realized prices change.
FCX shows revenue adjustments for prior period open sales as a separate line item. Because these adjustments result from prior 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 FCX’s consolidated financial statements.
