Consolidated Sales Volumes

Third-quarter 2020 copper sales of 848 million pounds were 7 percent higher than the July 2020 estimate of 790 million pounds of copper, primarily reflecting higher sales from North America and South America mines. Third-quarter 2020 copper sales were higher than third-quarter 2019 sales volumes of 795 million pounds of copper, primarily reflecting higher copper ore grades in Indonesia, partly offset by lower sales from North America and South America as a result of lower mining rates associated with the April 2020 revised operating plans.

Third-quarter 2020 gold sales of 234 thousand ounces were 6 percent higher than the July 2020 estimate of 220 thousand ounces of gold, primarily reflecting higher ore grades in Indonesia. Third-quarter 2020 gold sales were lower than third-quarter 2019 sales volumes of 243 thousand ounces of gold, primarily reflecting lower mining and milling rates associated with the ramp-up of underground mining at PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI), partly offset by timing of shipments in third-quarter 2019.

Third-quarter 2020 molybdenum sales of 20 million pounds were higher than the July 2020 estimate of 18 million pounds but were lower than third-quarter 2019 sales of 22 million pounds.

Consolidated sales volumes for the year 2020 are expected to approximate 3.18 billion pounds of copper, 0.8 million ounces of gold and 80 million pounds of molybdenum, including 840 million pounds of copper, 270 thousand ounces of gold and 21 million pounds of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2020. Metal production is expected to improve significantly in 2021 with estimated consolidated sales of 3.85 billion pounds of copper and 1.4 million ounces of gold for the year 2021. Projected sales volumes are dependent on operational performance, continued progress of the ramp-up of underground mining at PT-FI, impacts and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, weather-related conditions, timing of shipments, and other factors.

Consolidated Unit Net Cash Costs

Consolidated average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for FCX's copper mines of $1.32 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2020, were lower than the July 2020 estimate of $1.44 per pound, primarily reflecting higher copper and gold sales volumes. As anticipated, consolidated average unit net cash costs in third-quarter 2020 of $1.32 per pound were lower than the third-quarter 2019 average of $1.59 per pound, primarily reflecting higher copper sales volumes in Indonesia and lower mining costs and cost reductions associated with the April 2020 revised operating plans.

Assuming average prices of $1,900 per ounce of gold and $8.00 per pound of molybdenum for fourth-quarter 2020 and achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, consolidated unit net cash costs (net of


			3

by-product credits) for FCX's copper mines are expected to average $1.49 per pound of copper for the year 2020 (including $1.32 per pound of copper in fourth-quarter 2020). The impact of price changes during fourth-quarter 2020 on consolidated unit net cash costs for the year 2020 would approximate $0.01 per pound of copper for each $50 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $0.01 per pound of copper for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum. Quarterly unit net cash costs vary with fluctuations in sales volumes and realized prices, primarily for gold and molybdenum. FCX expects consolidated unit net cash costs to be lower in 2021, as the underground mines at PT-FI reach planned operating rates.

MINING OPERATIONS

North America Copper Mines. FCX operates seven open-pit copper mines in North America - Morenci, Bagdad, Safford, Sierrita and Miami in Arizona, and Chino and Tyrone in New Mexico. In addition to copper, certain of these mines produce molybdenum concentrate, gold and silver. All of the North America mining operations are wholly owned, except for Morenci. FCX records its 72 percent undivided joint venture interest in Morenci using the proportionate consolidation method.

Operating and Development Activities. FCX’s North America operating sites continue to focus on strong execution of the April 2020 revised operating plans. FCX recently completed the Lone Star copper leach project, with production ramping-up and remaining on track to produce approximately 200 million pounds of copper annually. FCX reviewed options for restarting the Chino mine and currently expects to restart Chino at a reduced rate of approximately 50 percent of capacity (approximately 100 million pounds of copper per year) beginning in 2021.

Operating Data. Following is summary consolidated operating data for the North America copper mines:

			4

FCX's consolidated copper sales volumes from North America of 379 million pounds in third-quarter 2020 were lower than third-quarter 2019 copper sales volumes of 395 million pounds, primarily reflecting lower mining rates associated with the April 2020 revised operating plans, partly offset by production from Lone Star. North America copper sales are estimated to approximate 1.4 billion pounds for the year 2020, similar to the year 2019.

Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines of $1.67 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2020 were lower than third-quarter 2019 unit net cash costs of $1.92 per pound, primarily reflecting lower mining rates and input costs, and cost reductions associated with the April 2020 revised operating plans, partly offset by lower sales volumes and by-product credits.

Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines are expected to approximate $1.81 per pound of copper for the year 2020, based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average molybdenum price of $8.00 per pound in fourth-quarter 2020. North America's average unit net cash costs for the year 2020 would change by approximately $0.01 per pound of copper for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2020.

South America Mining. FCX operates two copper mines in South America - Cerro Verde in Peru (in which FCX owns a 53.56 percent interest) and El Abra in Chile (in which FCX owns a 51 percent interest). These operations are consolidated in FCX's financial statements. In addition to copper, the Cerro Verde mine produces molybdenum concentrate and silver.

Operating and Development Activities. Cerro Verde continued to make progress toward restoring operations during third-quarter 2020, with operating rates averaging 351,000 metric tons of ore per day (approximately 90 percent of the 2019 annual average). FCX is continuing to operate El Abra consistent with its April 2020 revised operating plans while closely monitoring public health conditions in Chile.

Operating Data. Following is summary consolidated operating data for South America mining:

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 XIII.

c.Third-quarter 2020 excludes charges totaling $0.02 per pound of copper, primarily associated with the COVID-19 pandemic (including health and safety costs). The first nine months of 2020 excludes charges totaling $0.13 per pound of copper, primarily associated with idle facility (Cerro Verde) and contract cancellation costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and employee separation costs associated with the April 2020 revised operating plans.

FCX's consolidated copper sales volumes from South America of 250 million pounds in third-quarter 2020 were lower than third-quarter 2019 copper sales volumes of 261 million pounds, primarily reflecting lower mining rates associated with the April 2020 revised operating plans at El Abra and COVID-19 protocols at Cerro Verde.


			5

Sales from South America mining are expected to approximate 950 million pounds of copper for the year 2020, compared with 1.2 billion pounds of copper for the year 2019.

Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America mining of $1.83 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2020 were slightly higher than average unit net cash costs of $1.81 per pound in third-quarter 2019, primarily reflecting lower by-product credits and sales volumes, partly offset by lower mining rates.

Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America mining are expected to approximate $1.88 per pound of copper for the year 2020, based on current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $8.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2020.

Indonesia Mining. PT-FI operates one of the world’s largest copper and gold mines at the Grasberg minerals district in Papua, Indonesia. PT-FI produces copper concentrate that contains significant quantities of gold and silver. FCX has a 48.76 percent ownership interest in PT-FI and manages its mining operations. Under the terms of the shareholders agreement, FCX’s economic interest in PT-FI approximates 81 percent through 2022. PT-FI's results are consolidated in FCX's financial statements.

Operating and Development Activities. The ramp-up of underground production at the Grasberg minerals district in Indonesia continues to advance on schedule. During third-quarter 2020, a total of 55 new drawbells were added at the Grasberg Block Cave and Deep Mill Level Zone (DMLZ) underground mines, bringing cumulative open drawbells to over 300. Combined average production from the Grasberg Block Cave and DMLZ mines approximated 60,000 metric tons of ore per day during third-quarter 2020, 9 percent above the second-quarter 2020 average but approximately 15 percent below the July 2020 forecast, primarily reflecting unplanned downtime and a brief labor-related work stoppage. However, metal volume targets were achieved during third-quarter 2020 as a result of higher ore grades. At the end of September 2020, combined average production from the Grasberg Block Cave and DMLZ mines totaled approximately 94,000 metric tons of ore per day and the ramp-up schedule remains on track. PT-FI expects its 2021 production to approximate 1.4 billion pounds of copper and 1.4 million ounces of gold, which is nearly double projected 2020 levels.

The successful completion of this ramp up is expected to enable PT-FI to generate average annual production for the next several years of 1.55 billion pounds of copper and 1.6 million ounces of gold at an average unit net cash cost of approximately $0.20 per pound of copper assuming an average price of $1,400 per ounce of gold and achievement of projected sales volumes and cost estimates.

PT-FI's estimated annual capital spending on underground mine development projects is expected to average approximately $0.9 billion per year for the three-year period 2020 through 2022, net of scheduled contributions from PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (Persero) (PT Inalum). In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, aggregate costs (before scheduled contributions from PT Inalum), which are expected to average $1.0 billion per year for the three-year period 2020 through 2022, will be reflected as an investing activity in FCX's cash flow statement, and contributions from PT Inalum will be reflected as a financing activity.

Indonesian Smelter. As a result of disruptions to work and travel schedules of international contractors and current restrictions on access to the proposed physical site in Gresik, Indonesia associated with COVID-19 mitigation measures, PT-FI has notified the Indonesian government of delays in achieving the completion timeline of December 2023. PT-FI continues to discuss with the Indonesian government a deferred schedule for the project as well as other alternatives in light of COVID-19 and global economic conditions.

b.Excludes COVID-19 related costs (including one-time incremental employee benefits and health and safety costs) totaling $0.05 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2020 and $0.03 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2020.

c.Excludes charges totaling $1.19 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2019 and $0.36 per pound of copper for the first nine months of 2019, primarily associated with an unfavorable Indonesia Supreme Court ruling related to certain disputed PT-FI export duties. The nine-month charges also exclude $0.06 per pound of copper associated with adjustments to the settlement of the historical surface water tax disputes with the local regional tax authority in Papua, Indonesia

FCX's consolidated copper sales from PT-FI of 219 million pounds in third-quarter 2020 were higher than third-quarter 2019 consolidated copper sales of 139 million pounds, primarily reflecting higher copper ore grades and timing of shipments in third-quarter 2019, partly offset by anticipated lower mining and milling rates associated with the ramp-up of underground mining at PT-FI. FCX's consolidated gold sales from PT-FI of 230 thousand ounces in third-quarter 2020 were slightly lower than third-quarter 2019 consolidated gold sales of 239 thousand ounces, primarily reflecting lower mining and milling rates, partly offset by timing of shipments in third-quarter 2019.

FCX's consolidated sales volumes from PT-FI are expected to approximate 790 million pounds of copper and 0.8 million ounces of gold for the year 2020. As PT-FI continues to ramp-up production from its underground ore bodies, metal production is expected to improve significantly in 2021, compared with 2020 and 2019.

Because of the fixed nature of a large portion of PT-FI's costs, unit net cash costs can vary significantly from quarter to quarter depending on copper and gold volumes. PT-FI's unit net cash costs (net of gold and silver credits) of $0.13 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2020, were lower than unit net cash costs of $0.27 per pound in third-quarter 2019, primarily reflecting higher copper sales volumes and lower mining and milling rates.

Assuming an average gold price of $1,900 per ounce for fourth-quarter 2020 and achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, unit net cash costs (including gold and silver credits) for PT-FI are expected to approximate $0.45 per pound of copper for the year 2020. The impact of price changes during fourth-quarter 2020 on PT-FI's average unit net cash costs for the year 2020 would approximate $0.02 per pound of copper for each $50 per ounce change in the average price of gold.

Molybdenum Mines. FCX operates two wholly owned molybdenum mines in Colorado - the Henderson underground mine and the Climax open-pit mine. The Henderson and Climax 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 Henderson and Climax mines, as well as from FCX's North America and South America copper mines, is processed at FCX's conversion facilities.

Operating and Development Activities. Production from the molybdenum mines of 6 million pounds of molybdenum in third-quarter 2020 was lower than production of 7 million pounds of molybdenum in third-quarter 2019, primarily reflecting lower operating rates pursuant to the April 2020 revised operating plans in response to current market conditions. Refer to summary operating data on page 3 for FCX's consolidated molybdenum sales and average realized prices, which includes sales of molybdenum produced at the Molybdenum mines and from FCX's North America and South America copper mines.

Average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines of $9.72 per pound of molybdenum in third-quarter 2020 were lower than average unit net cash costs of $11.64 per pound in third-quarter 2019, primarily reflecting lower operating costs associated with the April 2020 revised operating plans. Based on current sales volume and cost estimates, average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines are expected to approximate $9.75 per pound of molybdenum for the year 2020.

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 XIII.

EXPLORATION

FCX's mining exploration activities are generally associated with its existing mines, focusing on opportunities to expand reserves and resources to support development of additional future production capacity. Exploration results continue to indicate opportunities for significant future potential reserve additions in North America and South America. Exploration expenditures for the year 2020 are expected to approximate $31 million, approximately 60 percent below 2019 expenditures. FCX has long-lived reserves and a significant resource position in its existing portfolio.

CORPORATE AND OTHER

The Copper Mark. During third-quarter 2020, FCX announced its commitment to the Copper Mark. The Copper Mark is a new, comprehensive assurance framework that demonstrates the industry’s responsible production practices and contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. It is the first and only framework developed specifically for the copper industry and enables each site to demonstrate to customers, investors and other stakeholders their responsible production performance. FCX has commenced the process for six of its operating sites and has future plans to validate all of its operating sites against the Copper Mark requirements.

CASH FLOWS, CASH AND DEBT

Operating Cash Flows. FCX generated operating cash flows of $1.2 billion (including $0.2 billion from working capital and other sources) in third-quarter 2020 and $1.7 billion (including $0.3 billion from working capital and other sources) for the first nine months of 2020.

Based on current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming average prices of $3.00 per pound of copper, $1,900 per ounce of gold and $8.00 per pound of molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2020, FCX's consolidated operating cash flows are estimated to approximate $2.9 billion (including $0.6 billion from working capital and other sources) for the year 2020. The impact of price changes during fourth-quarter 2020 on operating cash flows would approximate $90 million for each $0.10 per pound change in the average price of copper, $13 million for each $50 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $14 million for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures totaled $0.4 billion in third-quarter 2020 (including approximately $0.3 billion for major projects) and $1.6 billion for the first nine months of 2020 (including approximately $1.0 billion for major projects).

Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $2.0 billion for the year 2020, including $1.3 billion for major projects primarily associated with underground development activities in the Grasberg minerals district and the now completed Lone Star copper leach project.

Senior Notes	$	9,136	4.8%
Cerro Verde credit facility	827		2.0%
Other	67		1.9%
Total debt	$	10,030	4.6%

At September 30, 2020, FCX had no borrowings, $13 million in letters of credit issued and $3.5 billion available under its revolving credit facility, and no senior note maturities until 2022.

In July 2020, FCX completed the sale of $650 million of 4.375% Senior Notes due 2028 and $850 million of

4.625% Senior Notes due 2030 for proceeds, net of underwriting fees, totaling $1.485 billion. FCX used $1.4 billion of the net proceeds to purchase a portion of its senior notes due 2022, 2023 and 2024, and the payment of accrued and unpaid interest, premiums, fees and expenses in connection with these transactions. The remaining net proceeds from this offering will be used for general corporate purposes. FCX recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $59 million in third-quarter 2020 associated with the senior note repurchases.

Since August 2019, FCX has refinanced approximately $4 billion in debt and has enhanced its financial flexibility at attractive borrowing rates.

FINANCIAL POLICY

FCX's financial policy will continue to prioritize liquidity and balance sheet management during this period of global economic turmoil associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. With continued strong financial performance and successful execution of FCX's operating plans, management expects to recommend to the Board of Directors (Board) the resumption of common stock dividends during 2021 and anticipates an ongoing ability to increase cash returns to shareholders in the future. The declaration and payment of future dividends is at the discretion of the Board and will be assessed on an ongoing basis, taking into account FCX’s financial results, cash requirements, future prospects, global economic conditions, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

In accordance with the June 2020 amendment to the revolving credit facility, FCX is currently restricted from declaring or paying common stock dividends through December 31, 2021, unless FCX, at its option, reverts to the previous covenant requirements, which would also eliminate the restriction on the declaration or payment of common stock dividends.

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, changes in the credit ratings of FCX; changes in FCX's cash requirements, financial position, financing plans or investment plans; changes in general market, economic, tax, regulatory or industry conditions; the duration and scope of and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact thereof on commodity prices, FCX’s business and the global economy, which are evolving and beyond FCX’s control, and any related actions taken by governments and businesses; FCX’s ability to contain and mitigate the risk of spread or major outbreak of COVID-19 at its operating sites, including at PT-FI’s remote operating site in Papua; supply of and demand for, and prices of, copper, gold and molybdenum; mine sequencing; changes in mine plans or operational modifications, delays, deferrals or cancellations; production rates; timing of shipments; results of feasibility studies; potential inventory adjustments; potential impairment of long-lived mining assets; the potential effects of violence in Indonesia generally and in the province of Papua; the Indonesian government's extension of PT-FI's export license after March 15, 2021; risks associated with underground mining; satisfaction of requirements in accordance with PT-FI's special mining license to extend mining rights from 2031 through 2041; the Indonesian government's approval of a deferred schedule for completion of the new smelter in Indonesia; expected results from improvements in operating procedures and technology, including innovation initiatives; industry risks; regulatory changes; political and social risks; labor relations, including labor-related work stoppages; weather- and climate-related risks; environmental risks; litigation results; cybersecurity incidents; changes in general market, economic and industry conditions; financial condition of FCX’s customers, suppliers, vendors, partners and affiliates, particularly during weak economic conditions and extended periods of low commodity prices; reductions in liquidity and access to capital; FCX’s ability to comply with Copper Mark requirements and any changes to such requirements; 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, 2019, and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, and June 30, 2020, each filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as updated by FCX's subsequent filings with the SEC.

Investors are cautioned that many of the assumptions upon which FCX's forward-looking statements are based are likely to change after the forward-looking statements are made, including for example commodity prices, which FCX cannot control, and production volumes and costs, 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 cautions investors that it does not intend to update forward-looking statements more frequently than quarterly notwithstanding any changes in its assumptions, changes in business plans, actual experience or other changes, and FCX undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

This press release also contains certain financial measures such as adjusted net income (loss) and unit net cash costs per pound of copper and molybdenum, which are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As required by SEC Regulation G, reconciliations of these measures to amounts reported in FCX's consolidated financial statements are in the supplemental schedules of this press release.

a.Represents income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and equity in affiliated companies' net earnings.

b.In addition to FCX's North America mining operations, the U.S. jurisdiction reflects corporate-level expenses, which include interest expense associated with senior notes, general and administrative expenses, and environmental obligations and shutdown costs.

c.The third quarter and first nine months of 2019 include a tax credit of $12 million associated with the settlement of state income tax examinations. The first nine months of 2019 also includes tax credits totaling $12 million primarily associated with state law changes.

d.The third quarter and first nine months of 2020 include a tax charge of $25 million ($18 million net of noncontrolling interests) associated with establishing a tax reserve related to the treatment of prior year contractor support costs. The first nine months of 2020 also Include a tax charge of $8 million ($7 million net of noncontrolling interest) associated with an unfavorable 2012 Indonesia Supreme Court ruling.

e.The third quarter and first nine months of 2019 include a tax charge of $5 million ($4 million net of noncontrolling interest) for non-deductible penalties related to PT-FI's surface water tax settlement.

f.Includes net tax charges totaling $57 million ($21 million net of noncontrolling interests) in third quarter 2019 and $49 million ($15 million net of noncontrolling interests) for the first nine months of 2019 primarily to adjust deferred taxes on historical balance sheet items in accordance with tax accounting principles.

g.In accordance with applicable accounting rules, FCX adjusts its interim provision for income taxes equal to its consolidated tax rate.

h.The first nine months of 2020 include a tax credit of $53 million associated with the reversal of a year-end 2019 tax charge related to the sale of FCX's interest in the lower zone of the Timok exploration project in Serbia. The first nine months of 2020 also includes a tax credit of $6 million associated with the removal of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

i.FCX's consolidated effective income tax rate is a function of the combined effective tax rates for the jurisdictions in which FCX operates, excluding the U.S. jurisdiction. Because FCX's U.S. jurisdiction generated net losses in the first nine months of 2020 that will not result in a realized tax benefit, applicable accounting rules require FCX to adjust its estimated annual effective tax rate to exclude the impact of U.S. net losses.

Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and average prices of $3.00 per pound for copper, $1,900 per ounce for gold and $8.00 per pound for molybdenum in fourth-quarter 2020, FCX estimates its consolidated effective tax rate for the year 2020 would approximate 54 percent. Changes in sales volumes and average prices during 2020 would incur tax impacts at estimated effective rates of 38 percent for Indonesia, 38 percent for Peru and 0 percent for the U.S.

Variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income result in fluctuations to FCX's consolidated effective income tax rate. Because of FCX's U.S. tax position, it does not record a financial statement impact for income or losses generated in the U.S.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

For the first nine months of 2020, FCX's mined copper was sold 48 percent in concentrate, 29 percent as cathode and 23 percent as rod from North America operations. Substantially all of FCX's copper concentrate and 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. LME copper settlement prices averaged $2.96 per pound during third-quarter 2020 and settled at $3.00 per pound on September 30, 2020. Because a significant portion of FCX's copper concentrate and cathode sales in any quarterly period usually remain subject to final pricing, the quarter-end forward price is a major determinant of the average recorded copper price for the period. FCX's average realized copper price was $3.01 per pound in third-quarter 2020.

Following is a summary of the adjustments to prior period and current period provisionally priced copper sales (in millions, except per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended September 30,

a.Reflects adjustments to provisionally priced copper sales at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

b.Reflects adjustments to provisionally priced copper sales for the first nine months of 2020 and 2019.

At September 30, 2020, FCX had provisionally priced copper sales at its copper mining operations totaling 226 million pounds of copper (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average price of $3.03 per pound, subject to final pricing 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 $7 million effect on 2020 net income attributable to common stock. The LME copper price settled at $3.15 per pound on October 21, 2020.

DEFERRED PROFITS

FCX defers recognizing profits on sales from its mining operations to Atlantic Copper and on 25 percent of PT-FI's sales to PT Smelting (PT-FI's 25 percent-owned Indonesian smelting unit) until final sales to third parties occur. Changes in these deferrals attributable to variability in intercompany volumes resulted in net reductions to operating income (loss) totaling $21 million ($21 million to net income attributable to common stock) in third-quarter 2020, $4 million ($4 million to net income attributable to common stock) in third-quarter 2019, $27 million ($20 million to net loss attributable to common stock) for the first nine months of 2020 and $24 million ($20 million to net loss attributable to common stock) for the first nine months of 2019. FCX's net deferred profits on its inventories at Atlantic Copper and PT Smelting to be recognized in future periods' net income attributable to common stock totaled $57 million at September 30, 2020. 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.

Freeport-McMoRan Inc.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

FCX has organized its mining operations into four primary divisions – North America copper mines, South America mining, Indonesia mining and Molybdenum mines, and operating segments that meet certain thresholds are reportable segments. Separately disclosed in the following tables are FCX's reportable segments, which include the Morenci, Bagdad, Cerro Verde and Grasberg (Indonesia Mining) copper mines, the Rod & Refining operations and Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining.

Intersegment sales between FCX’s business segments are based on terms similar to arms-length transactions with third parties at the time of the sale. Intersegment sales may not be reflective of the actual prices ultimately realized because of a variety of factors, including additional processing, the timing of sales to unaffiliated customers and transportation premiums.

FCX allocates certain operating costs, expenses and capital expenditures to its operating divisions and individual segments. However, not all costs and expenses applicable to an operation are allocated. U.S. federal and state income taxes are recorded and managed at the corporate level (included in Corporate, Other & Eliminations), whereas foreign income taxes are recorded and managed at the applicable country level. In addition, most mining exploration and research activities are managed on a consolidated basis, and those costs along with some selling, general and administrative costs, are not allocated to the operating divisions or individual segments. Accordingly, the following segment information reflects management determinations that may not be indicative of what the actual financial performance of each operating division or segment would be if it was an independent entity.

PRODUCT REVENUES AND PRODUCTION COSTS

Unit net cash costs 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, which are removed from site production and delivery costs in the calculation of unit net cash costs, consist of items such as stock-based compensation costs, long-lived asset impairments, idle facility 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.
