Consolidated Sales and Production Volumes
Copper
- Fourth-quarter 2025 sales of 709 million pounds were 12% higher than October 2025 estimates of 635 million pounds, primarily reflecting a higher-than-expected reduction in inventories in Indonesia. As expected, fourth-quarter 2025 sales were below fourth-quarter 2024 as a result of lower production in Indonesia.
- As expected, fourth-quarter 2025 production of 640 million pounds was significantly below fourth-quarter 2024 production of 1.0 billion pounds, primarily reflecting the impact of the September 2025 mud rush incident on PTFI’s operations.
Gold
- Fourth-quarter 2025 sales of 80 thousand ounces were 33% higher than October 2025 estimates of 60 thousand ounces, primarily reflecting a higher-than-expected reduction in inventories in Indonesia. As expected, fourth-quarter 2025 sales were below fourth-quarter 2024 as a result of lower production in Indonesia.
- As expected, fourth-quarter 2025 production of 65 thousand ounces was significantly below fourth-quarter 2024 production of 432 thousand ounces, reflecting the impact of the September 2025 mud rush incident on PTFI’s operations.
Molybdenum
- Fourth-quarter 2025 sales of 22 million pounds approximated October 2025 estimates. Fourth-quarter 2025 sales exceeded fourth-quarter 2024 sales of 18 million pounds, primarily reflecting higher production.
Consolidated sales volumes for the year 2026 are expected to approximate 3.4 billion pounds of copper, 0.8 million ounces of gold and 90 million pounds of molybdenum, including 640 million pounds of copper, 60 thousand ounces of gold and 22 million pounds of molybdenum in first-quarter 2026. Estimates for the year 2026 assume a phased restart and ramp-up of the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine at PTFI beginning in second-quarter 2026. Based on current estimates, approximately 60% of consolidated copper sales and 75% of consolidated gold sales in 2026 are expected to occur in the second half of the year. For the year 2026, copper and gold production volumes are expected to exceed sales volumes, reflecting deferrals of approximately 100 million pounds of copper and 100 thousand ounces of gold associated with inventory held at PTFI’s smelting operations.
Consolidated Unit Net Cash Costs
Consolidated unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for FCX’s copper mines averaged $2.22 per pound of copper in fourth-quarter 2025, which excluded $454 million of idle facility costs and direct recovery expenses associated with the September 2025 mud rush incident at PTFI. Fourth-quarter 2025 consolidated unit net cash costs were lower than the October 2025 estimate of $2.47 per pound, primarily reflecting higher copper volumes and by-product credits at PTFI. Fourth-quarter 2025 average unit cash costs were higher than fourth-quarter 2024 average unit net cash costs of $1.66 per pound of copper, primarily reflecting lower copper volumes at PTFI.
Consolidated unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits and excluding idle facility costs and direct recovery expenses associated with the September 2025 mud rush incident at PTFI) for FCX’s copper mines are expected to average $1.75 per pound of copper for the year 2026 (including $2.60 per pound of copper in first-quarter 2026), based on achievement of current sales volumes and cost estimates, and assuming average prices of $4,000 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum for the year 2026. Quarterly unit net cash costs vary with fluctuations in sales volumes by region and realized prices, primarily for gold and molybdenum, and are expected to decline throughout the year as PTFI’s operations and smelting activities are restarted and ramp-up. The impact of price changes on consolidated unit net cash costs for the year 2026 would approximate $0.03 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.
During the recovery of PTFI’s operations, a portion of PTFI’s 2026 cost of sales are expected to be recognized as idle facility costs, which are non-inventoriable costs. Refer to “Operations” below for further discussion.
Projected sales volumes and average unit net cash costs are dependent on operational performance; the timing of restarting and ramping up the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine at PTFI, which is currently expected to begin in second-quarter 2026; weather-related conditions; timing of shipments and other factors detailed in the “Cautionary Statement” below.
OPERATIONS
Leaching and Technology Innovation Initiatives. FCX is incorporating new applications, technologies and data analytics to its leaching processes across its U.S. and South America operations. Incremental copper production from these initiatives totaled 60 million pounds in fourth-quarter 2025 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. In late 2025, FCX achieved an annual run rate of approximately 240 million pounds of copper, and is targeting annual production of 300 million pounds of copper in 2026 from these initiatives. FCX believes there is potential for further significant increases in recoverable metal beyond the current annual target. 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 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.
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 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 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.
Operating Data. Following is summary consolidated operating data for the U.S. copper mines:

b.For a reconciliation of unit net cash costs per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, “Product Revenues and Production Costs,” beginning on page XIV.
FCX’s consolidated copper sales volumes from the U.S. mines of 342 million pounds in fourth-quarter 2025 were higher than fourth-quarter 2024 copper sales volumes of 318 million pounds, primarily reflecting higher ore grades and leach placements. Consolidated copper sales from FCX’s U.S. mines totaled 1.3 billion pounds for the year 2025 and 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 fourth-quarter 2025 were lower than fourth-quarter 2024 average unit net cash costs of $3.04 per pound, primarily reflecting higher copper volumes and higher by-product credits, partly offset by higher costs for acid and supplies.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the U.S. copper mines are expected to approximate $2.96 per pound of copper for the year 2026, based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming an average price of $20.00 per pound of molybdenum. The U.S. copper mines’ average unit net cash costs for the year 2026 would change by approximately $0.05 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum. Estimated lower average unit net cash costs for the U.S. copper mines in 2026, compared to 2025, primarily reflect projected improved volumes and efficiency initiatives.
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 completed substantial drilling and evaluations and has identified a large sulfide reserve in support of a potential major mill project 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. At December 31, 2025, FCX’s preliminary estimated consolidated recoverable proven and probable mineral reserves included approximately 17.5 billion pounds of copper associated with this potential mill project at El Abra.
FCX has advanced preparation of its permitting application and plans to submit an environmental impact statement to Chile regulatory authorities in the first half of 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.

FCX’s consolidated copper sales volumes from South America operations of 255 million pounds in fourth-quarter 2025 were lower than fourth-quarter 2024 copper sales volumes of 298 million pounds, primarily reflecting lower mill ore grades and leach placements. Copper sales from South America operations were 1.1 billion for the year 2025 and are expected to approximate 1.1 billion pounds for the year 2026.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America operations of $2.57 per pound of copper in fourth-quarter 2025 were higher than fourth-quarter 2024 average unit net cash costs of $2.36 per pound of copper, primarily reflecting lower copper volumes and higher employee profit-sharing costs, partly offset by higher by-product credits.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America operations are expected to approximate $2.58 per pound of copper for the year 2026, based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming an average price of $20.00 per pound of molybdenum.
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. FCX has a 48.76% ownership interest in PTFI and manages its operations. PTFI’s results are consolidated in FCX’s financial statements. With the completion of PTFI’s downstream processing facilities, PTFI is 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, Deep Mill Level Zone (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 1.3 million ounces of gold per year and are among the lowest cost operations in the world. Production of 1.0 billion pounds of copper and 0.9 million ounces of gold during 2025 primarily reflects the impact of the temporary suspension of operations at the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine since September 2025, which is expected to restart in second-quarter 2026.
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 Phased Restart. Following the external mud rush incident on September 8, 2025, PTFI has been engaged in activities to address the incident and advance preparation for a safe and sustainable restart of operations.
In late October 2025, PTFI restarted operations at the unaffected DMLZ and Big Gossan underground mines. Investigations and remedial plans were completed in fourth-quarter 2025 and a phased restart and ramp-up of the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine is anticipated to begin in second-quarter 2026.
The plan includes a restart of Production Blocks 2 and 3 in second-quarter 2026 and the potential restart of operations in Production Block 1 during 2027. Based on current estimates, PTFI expects approximately 85% of its total production at normal operating rates to be restored in the second half of 2026. Key milestones required for initiating production in Production Blocks 2 and 3, including mud removal in mine workings, repairs of supporting infrastructure and installation of protective barriers, are progressing on schedule.
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.
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%. At December 31, 2025, PTFI’s preliminary estimates of Kucing Liar reserves approximate 8 billion pounds of copper and 8 million ounces of gold to be recovered through 2041, increased from previous estimates of 7 billion pounds of copper and 6 million ounces of gold. Under the new design, average Kucing Liar production at full rates would approximate 750 million pounds of copper and 735 thousand ounces of gold (an increase of more than 35% from prior estimates). 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 deferral of capital expenditures associated with the processing of higher pyrite ore.
At December 31, 2025, PTFI has incurred approximately $1.1 billion for Kucing Liar, 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. In July 2025, PTFI’s smelter in Eastern Java, Indonesia, produced its first copper cathode. The precious metals refinery commenced operations in December 2024 and operated on a limited basis during fourth-quarter 2025, processing anode slimes from PT Smelting, PTFI’s 66%-owned smelter and refinery in Gresik, Indonesia.
Smelting operations in Indonesia were temporarily suspended during fourth-quarter 2025 as a result of limited concentrate availability following the September 2025 mud rush incident. PT Smelting restarted operations in late December 2025 and is expected to operate at reduced rates until the anticipated second-quarter 2026 restart of mining at the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine. Shipments to PTFI’s newly commissioned smelter are expected to recommence in the second half of 2026, pending the successful ramp up of mining operations. FCX expects higher variability between PTFI’s production and sales until its downstream processing facilities achieve normalized operating rates.
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 span the life of the resource, which is expected to be submitted during 2026. In connection with the extension, PTFI would 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, resulting in FCX’s interest post-2041 totaling approximately 37%. FCX expects the existing governance agreements would continue over the life of the resource.
Operating Data. Following is summary consolidated operating data for Indonesia operations:

a.For a reconciliation of unit net cash credits per pound to production and delivery costs applicable to sales reported in FCX’s consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, “Product Revenues and Production Costs,” beginning on page XIV.
b.Excludes idle facility costs and direct recovery expenses associated with the September 2025 mud rush incident. Refer below and to “Adjusted Net Income,” beginning on page VII for a summary of these charges.
PTFI’s consolidated sales volumes of 112 million pounds of copper and 75 thousand ounces of gold in fourth-quarter 2025 were significantly lower than fourth-quarter 2024 sales volumes of 376 million pounds of copper and 343 thousand ounces of gold, reflecting the impact of the September 2025 mud rush incident.
PTFI’s unit net cash credits (including by-product credits) of $0.74 per pound of copper in fourth-quarter 2025 were favorable compared to $0.08 per pound of copper in fourth-quarter 2024, primarily reflecting higher by-product credits and lower export duties, partly offset by lower copper volumes. PTFI's unit net cash credits exclude idle facility costs and direct recovery expenses associated with the September 2025 mud rush incident totaling $454 million in fourth-quarter 2025 and $625 million for the year 2025.
Consolidated sales volumes from PTFI totaled 1.2 billion pounds of copper and 1.1 million ounces of gold for the year 2025, exceeding production of 1.0 billion pounds of copper and 0.9 million ounces of gold. For the year 2026, copper and gold production volumes are expected to exceed sales volumes, reflecting deferrals of approximately 100 million pounds of copper and 100 thousand ounces of gold associated with inventory held at PTFI’s smelting operations. Consolidated sales volumes from PTFI are expected to approximate 0.9 billion pounds of copper and 0.8 million ounces of gold for the year 2026. Based on current estimates, approximately 78% of PTFI copper sales and 75% of PTFI’s gold sales in 2026 are expected to occur in the second half of the year reflecting a phased restart and ramp-up of the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine beginning in second-quarter 2026.
Unit net cash credits (including by-product credits and excluding idle facility costs and direct recovery expenses associated with the September 2025 mud rush incident) for PTFI are expected to approximate $1.13 per pound of copper for the year 2026, based on achievement of current sales volumes and cost estimates, and assuming an average price of $4,000 per ounce of gold. PTFI’s average unit net cash credits are expected to improve throughout 2026 as PTFI’s operations and smelting activities are restarted. PTFI’s average unit net cash credits for the year 2026 would change by approximately $0.09 per pound of copper for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold. During the phased restart and ramp-up of operations in 2026, a portion of PTFI’s cost of sales are expected to be recognized as idle facility costs, which are non-inventoriable costs.
Projected sales volumes and average unit net cash credits are dependent on operational performance; the timing of restarting and ramping up the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine at PTFI, which is currently expected to begin in second-quarter 2026; weather-related conditions; and other factors detailed in the “Cautionary Statement” below.
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 11 million pounds of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2025 and 9 million pounds in fourth-quarter 2024. 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 $16.23 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2025 were in line with average unit net cash costs of $16.18 per pound in fourth-quarter 2024. Average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines are expected to approximate $16.60 per pound of molybdenum for the year 2026, based on achievement of current sales volumes 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 XIV.
PRELIMINARY ESTIMATED RECOVERABLE PROVEN AND PROBABLE MINERAL RESERVES AND MINERAL RESOURCES
FCX has significant mineral reserves, mineral resources and future development opportunities within its portfolio of mining assets. FCX’s preliminary estimated consolidated recoverable proven and probable mineral reserves from its mines at December 31, 2025, include 112.3 billion pounds of copper, 20.6 million ounces of gold and 3.5 billion pounds of molybdenum, which were determined using metal price assumptions of $3.25 per pound for copper, $1,600 per ounce for gold and $14.00 per pound for molybdenum. The preliminary estimated recoverable proven and probable mineral reserves presented in the table below represent the estimated metal quantities from which FCX expects to be paid after application of estimated metallurgical recovery rates and smelter recovery rates, where applicable. Recoverable mineral reserve volumes are those which FCX estimates can be economically extracted or produced at the time of the mineral reserve determination.
| Preliminary Estimated Recoverable Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves at December 31, 2025 |
|---|
| Copper(billion pounds) | Gold(million ounces) | Molybdenum(billion pounds) |
|---|
| U.S. | 42.5 | 0.6 | 2.6 |
| South America | 45.6 | 0.1 | 0.9 |
| Indonesia | 24.2 | 20.0 | - |
| Consolidated basis | 112.3 | 20.6 | 3.5 |
| Net equity interest | 78.6 | 10.4 | 3.1 |
a.Includes approximately 17.5 billion pounds of recoverable copper associated with a potential mill project at El Abra.
b.Reserves are included through the life of PTFI’s special mining business license (IUPK), which extends through 2041. An extension of operating rights would provide additional mineral reserves.
c.Consolidated mineral reserves represent estimated metal quantities after reduction for FCX’s joint venture partners’ interest at the Morenci mine in North America. Excluded from the table above are FCX’s estimated recoverable proven and probable silver reserves of 351 million ounces, which were determined using $20 per ounce.
d.Net equity interest mineral reserves represent estimated consolidated metal quantities further reduced for noncontrolling interest ownership. Excluded from the table above are FCX’s estimated net recoverable proven and probable silver reserves of 230 million ounces.
e.May not foot because of rounding.
Following is a summary of changes in FCX’s preliminary estimated consolidated recoverable proven and probable mineral reserves during 2025:
| Copper | Gold | Molybdenum |
|---|
| (billion pounds) | (million ounces) | (billion pounds) |
|---|
| Reserves at December 31, 2024 | 97.0 | 23.0 | 3.2 |
| Net revisions | 18.7 | (1.4) | 0.4 |
| Production | (3.4) | (1.0) | (0.1) |
| Reserves at December 31, 2025 | 112.3 | 20.6 | 3.5 |
a.Includes the addition of approximately 17.5 billion pounds of recoverable copper associated with a potential mill project at El Abra.
b.Primarily reflects the result of mine plan changes at the Grasberg minerals district.
In addition to the preliminary estimated consolidated recoverable proven and probable mineral reserves, FCX’s preliminary estimated consolidated mineral resources (including measured, indicated and inferred resources) at December 31, 2025, totaled 165 billion pounds of incremental contained copper, which were assessed using $3.75 per pound for copper. FCX continues to pursue opportunities to convert this material into mineral reserves, future production volumes and cash flow. See “Cautionary Statement” below.
LIQUIDITY, CASH FLOWS, CASH AND DEBT
Liquidity. At December 31, 2025, FCX had $3.8 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 $0.7 billion, net of $0.8 billion of working capital and other uses, in fourth-quarter 2025 and $5.6 billion, net of $1.3 billion of working capital and other uses, for the year 2025.
FCX’s consolidated operating cash flows are expected to approximate $8 billion for the year 2026, including $1 billion of working capital and other sources, based on current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming prices of $5.00 per pound of copper, $4,000 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum. The impact of price changes on operating cash flows for the year 2026 would approximate $330 million for each $0.10 per pound change in the average price of copper, $75 million for each $100 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $160 million for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures totaled $1.0 billion, including $0.6 billion for major mining projects in fourth-quarter 2025, and $4.5 billion, including $2.3 billion for major mining projects and $0.6 billion for PTFI’s downstream processing facilities for the year 2025.
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 expansion projects in the U.S., and $1.6 billion for discretionary growth projects.
FCX is carefully managing 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.
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 December 31, 2025 (in billions):

FCX’s consolidated debt has an average remaining duration of approximately eight years. There are no senior note maturities scheduled in 2026 and $1.3 billion scheduled in 2027.
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 December 31, 2025, FCX’s net debt totaled $2.3 billion, which excludes $3.2 billion of debt for PTFI’s downstream processing facilities. Refer to the supplemental schedule, “Net Debt,” on page IX.
Common Stock Dividends. On December 17, 2025, 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 February 2, 2026, to shareholders of record as of January 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. No shares of FCX’s common stock were repurchased during fourth-quarter 2025. As of January 21, 2026, FCX had 1.4 billion shares of common stock outstanding and $3.0 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.

Forward-looking statements notice
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, 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; 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

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.
Estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources are subject to considerable uncertainty. Such estimates are, to a large extent, based on metal prices for the commodities we produce and interpretations of geologic data, which may not necessarily be indicative of future results or quantities ultimately recovered. This press release also includes forward-looking statements regarding mineral resources not included in proven and probable mineral reserves. A mineral resource, which includes measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources, is a concentration or occurrence of material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, grade or quality, and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction. Such a deposit cannot qualify as recoverable proven and probable mineral reserves until legal and economic feasibility are confirmed based upon a comprehensive evaluation of development and operating costs, grades, recoveries and other material modifying factors. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the estimated mineral resources will become proven and probable mineral reserves.
This press release also contains 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.

d.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 $5.00 per pound for copper, $4,000 per ounce for gold and $20.00 per pound for molybdenum in 2026, FCX estimates its consolidated effective tax rate for the year 2026 would approximate 33%. 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.
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):
| As of December 31, 2025 |
|---|
| Current portion of debt | $466 |
| Long-term debt, less current portion | 8,913 |

| FCX net debt, excluding debt for PTFI’s downstream processing facilities | $2,320 |
a.Represents PTFI’s senior notes and $250 million of borrowings under PTFI’s revolving credit facility.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
For the year ended December 31, 2025, FCX’s mined copper was sold 43% in concentrate, 33% as cathode and 24% as rod. 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 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 $5.33 per pound in fourth-quarter 2025, reflecting copper sales from South America and Indonesia operations, which are generally based on quoted LME monthly average copper settlement prices (averaged $5.03 per pound in fourth-quarter 2025) and copper sales from U.S. copper mines, which are generally based on prevailing Commodity Exchange Inc. (COMEX) monthly average settlement prices (averaged $5.15 per pound in fourth-quarter 2025).
Following is a summary of the adjustments to prior period and current period provisionally priced copper sales (in millions, except per share amounts):

b.Reflects adjustments to provisionally priced copper sales for the years 2025 and 2024.
At December 31, 2025, FCX had provisionally priced copper sales totaling 152 million pounds (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average price of $5.64 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 $13 million effect on 2026 revenues ($5 million to net income attributable to common stock). The LME copper settlement price was $5.85 per pound on January 21, 2026.
DEFERRED PROFITS
FCX defers recognizing profits on intercompany sales to Atlantic Copper until final sales to third parties occur. Changes in these deferrals attributable to variability in intercompany volumes resulted in net (reductions) additions to operating income totaling $(43) million ($(14) million to net income attributable to common stock) in fourth-quarter 2025, $(52) million ($(20) million to net income attributable to common stock) in fourth-quarter 2024, $118 million ($44 million to net income attributable to common stock) for the year 2025 and $21 million ($(3) million to net income attributable to common stock) for the year 2024. FCX’s net deferred profits on its inventories at Atlantic Copper to be recognized in future periods’ operating income totaled $122 million ($40 million to net income attributable to common stock) at December 31, 2025. 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 is primarily associated with PTFI, Cerro Verde and El Abra and totaled $159 million in fourth-quarter 2025 (which represented 21% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes), $447 million in fourth-quarter 2024 (which represented 36% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes), $1.9 billion for the year 2025 (which represented 31% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes) and $2.5 billion for the year 2024 (which represented 36% of FCX’s consolidated income before income taxes). Refer to “Business 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 $5.00 per pound of copper, $4,000 per ounce of gold and $20.00 per pound of molybdenum, FCX estimates that net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is estimated to approximate $0.3 billion in first-quarter 2026 and $2.4 billion for the year 2026, which would represent 27% and 29%, respectively, 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 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 Rod & Refining segment. In South America, FCX operates two copper operations - Cerro Verde in Peru and El Abra in Chile. In Indonesia, PTFI operates in the Grasberg minerals district.
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.
FREEPORT
BUSINESS SEGMENTS (continued)
FCX allocates certain operating costs, expenses and capital expenditures to its business 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 divisions or individual business segments. Accordingly, the following segment information reflects management determinations that may not be indicative of what the actual financial performance of each division or individual business 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 FCX’s mining operations expressed on a basis relating to the primary metal product for the respective operations. FCX uses this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by its mining operations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures are presented by other metals mining companies, although FCX’s measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
FCX presents gross profit (loss) 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 (loss) per pound of copper because (i) the majority of its revenues are copper revenues, (ii) it mines ore, which contains copper, gold, molybdenum and other metals, (iii) it is not possible to specifically assign all of FCX’s costs to revenues from the copper, gold, molybdenum and other metals it produces and (iv) it is the method used by FCX’s management and Board of Directors to monitor FCX’s mining operations and to compare mining operations in certain industry publications. In the co-product method presentations, shared costs are allocated to the different products based on their relative revenue values, which will vary to the extent FCX’s metals sales volumes and realized prices change.
FCX shows revenue adjustments for prior period open sales as a separate line item. Because these adjustments do not result from current period sales, these amounts have been reflected separately from revenues on current period sales. Noncash and other costs, 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.
