Freeport-McMoRan
Reports Third-Quarter and Nine-Month 2016 Results
 
 
 
 
 
Net income attributable to common stock totaled $217 million, $0.16 per share, for third-quarter 2016.
Consolidated sales (including volumes from Tenke Fungurume (Tenke), which is being reported as discontinued operations) totaled 1.2 billion pounds of copper, 317 thousand ounces of gold, 16 million pounds of molybdenum and 12.0 million barrels of oil equivalents (MMBOE) for third-quarter 2016, compared with 1.0 billion pounds of copper, 294 thousand ounces of gold, 23 million pounds of molybdenum and 13.8 MMBOE for third-quarter 2015.
Consolidated sales for the year 2016 are expected to approximate 4.8 billion pounds of copper (including 485 million pounds from Tenke), 1.26 million ounces of gold and 73 million pounds of molybdenum, including 1.3 billion pounds of copper, 590 thousand ounces of gold and 21 million pounds of molybdenum for fourth-quarter 2016.
Average realized prices were $2.18 per pound for copper, $1,327 per ounce for gold and $40.63 per barrel for oil for third-quarter 2016.
Average unit net cash costs were $1.14 per pound of copper for mining operations and $15.00 per barrel of oil equivalents (BOE) for oil and gas operations for third-quarter 2016. Unit net cash costs for the year 2016 are expected to average $1.20 per pound of copper for mining operations.
Operating cash flows totaled $980 million for third-quarter 2016. Based on current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming average prices of $2.10 per pound for copper, $1,250 per ounce for gold and $7 per pound for molybdenum for fourth-quarter 2016, operating cash flows for the year 2016 are expected to approximate $3.6 billion (including $0.3 billion in working capital sources and changes in other tax payments).
Capital expenditures totaled $494 million for third-quarter 2016, consisting of $333 million for mining operations (including $250 million for major projects) and $160 million for oil and gas operations. Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $2.8 billion for the year 2016, consisting of $1.6 billion for mining operations (including $1.2 billion for major projects) and $1.2 billion for oil and gas operations.
At September 30, 2016, consolidated debt totaled $19.0 billion and consolidated cash totaled $1.1 billion. At September 30, 2016, FCX had no borrowings and $3.5 billion available under its $3.5 billion revolving credit facility.
FCX expects to receive $5.2 billion in gross proceeds during fourth-quarter 2016 in connection with previously announced asset sale transactions.
In July 2016, FCX commenced a registered at-the-market offering of up to $1.5 billion of common stock. Through October 24, 2016, FCX has sold 33.5 million shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of $415 million ($12.39 per share average price).

In connection with the Deepwater GOM transaction, FCX Oil & Gas LLC (FM O&G) entered into an agreement to amend the terms of the Plains Offshore Operations Inc. preferred stock to provide FM O&G the right to call these securities for $582 million. FM O&G expects to exercise this option at the time the Deepwater GOM sale closes.
d.
FCX has agreed to negotiate exclusively with China Molybdenum Co., Ltd. (CMOC) until December 31, 2016, to enter into a definitive agreement to sell its interests in Freeport Cobalt for $100 million and the Kinsanfu exploration project in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for $50 million in separate transactions.
In July 2016, FCX commenced a registered at-the-market (ATM) offering of up to $1.5 billion of common stock. Through October 24, 2016, FCX has sold 33.5 million shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of $415 million ($12.39 per share average price).
FCX continues to aggressively manage production, exploration and administrative costs and capital spending. With the successful completion of the Cerro Verde expansion and anticipated access to higher grade ore from the Grasberg mine in future quarters, FCX expects to generate substantial cash flows for debt reduction.
FCX remains focused on retaining a high-quality portfolio of long-lived copper assets positioned to generate value as market conditions improve. In addition to debt reduction plans, FCX is pursuing opportunities to create additional value through mine designs that would increase copper reserves, reduce costs and provide opportunities to enhance net present values, and continues to advance studies for future development of its copper resources, the timing of which will be dependent on market conditions.

a.
Includes production and sales volumes from Tenke, which is reported as discontinued operations. Copper sales from Tenke totaled 118 million pounds in third-quarter 2016, 113 million pounds in third-quarter 2015, 365 million pounds for the first nine months of 2016 and 350 million pounds for the first nine months of 2015. Average realized copper prices (excluding Tenke) were $2.19 per pound in third-quarter 2016, $2.39 per pound in third-quarter 2015, $2.17 per pound for the first nine months of 2016 and $2.54 per pound for the first nine months of 2015.
b.
Reflects per pound weighted-average production and delivery costs and unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for all copper mines, before net noncash and other costs. Excluding Tenke, mining unit net cash costs averaged $1.14 per pound in third-quarter 2016, $1.57 per pound in third-quarter 2015, $1.28 per pound for the first nine months of 2016 and $1.61 per pound for the first nine months of 2015. For reconciliations of per pound unit costs by operating division 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.
c.
Cash operating margin for oil and gas operations reflects realized revenues less cash production costs. Cash production costs exclude accretion and other costs. For reconciliations of realized revenues and cash production costs per BOE to revenues and production and delivery costs reported in FCX's consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, “Product Revenues and Production Costs,” beginning on page X.
d.
Includes realized cash gains on crude oil derivative contracts of $7.44 per BOE in third-quarter 2015 and $7.72 per BOE for the first nine months of 2015.
Consolidated Sales Volumes    
Third-quarter 2016 consolidated copper sales (including Tenke) of 1.23 billion pounds were higher than third-quarter 2015 sales of 1.0 billion pounds, primarily reflecting higher volumes from Cerro Verde and PT Freeport Indonesia (PT-FI).
Third-quarter 2016 consolidated gold sales of 317 thousand ounces were higher than third-quarter 2015 sales of 294 thousand ounces.
Third-quarter 2016 consolidated molybdenum sales of 16 million pounds were lower than third-quarter 2015 sales of 23 million pounds, primarily reflecting weak demand.

4



Third-quarter 2016 sales from oil and gas operations of 12.0 MMBOE, including 9.1 million barrels (MMBbls) of crude oil, 13.8 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas and 0.6 MMBbls of natural gas liquids (NGLs), were lower than third-quarter 2015 sales of 13.8 MMBOE, primarily reflecting the July 2016 sale of Haynesville.
Sales volumes for the year 2016 are expected to approximate 4.8 billion pounds of copper (including 485 million pounds for Tenke), 1.26 million ounces of gold and 73 million pounds of molybdenum, including 1.3 billion pounds of copper (including 120 million pounds for Tenke), 590 thousand ounces of gold and 21 million pounds of molybdenum for fourth-quarter 2016. Projected sales volumes are dependent on a number of factors, including operational performance, shipping schedules and the timing of completing the pending Tenke transaction.
Consolidated Unit Costs
Mining Unit Net Cash Costs. Consolidated average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for FCX's copper mines (including Tenke) of $1.14 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2016 were lower than unit net cash costs of $1.52 per pound in third-quarter 2015, primarily reflecting higher copper sales volumes and the impact of ongoing cost reduction initiatives.
Assuming average prices of $1,250 per ounce of gold and $7 per pound of molybdenum for fourth-quarter 2016 and achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, consolidated unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for copper mines (including Tenke) are expected to average $1.20 per pound for the year 2016. The impact of price changes for fourth-quarter 2016 on consolidated unit net cash costs would approximate $0.0075 per pound for each $50 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $0.004 per pound 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.
Oil and Gas Cash Production Costs per BOE. Cash production costs for oil and gas operations of $15.00 per BOE in third-quarter 2016 were lower than cash production costs of $18.85 per BOE in third-quarter 2015, primarily reflecting ongoing cost reduction efforts in California.
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, molybdenum concentrate and silver are also produced by certain of FCX's North America copper mines.
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 has significant undeveloped reserves and resources in North America and a portfolio of long-term development projects. In the near term, FCX is deferring development of new projects as a result of current market conditions. Future investments will be undertaken based on the results of economic and technical feasibility studies, and market conditions.
During 2015, FCX revised plans for its North America copper mines to incorporate reductions in mining rates to reduce operating and capital costs. In addition, FCX curtailed operations at the Miami and Tyrone mines and is operating its Sierrita mine at reduced rates. The revised plans at each of the operations incorporate the impacts of lower energy, acid and other consumables, reduced labor costs and a significant reduction in capital spending plans. These operating plans will continue to be reviewed and additional adjustments will be made as market conditions warrant.

a.
Refer to summary operating data on page 4 for FCX's consolidated molybdenum sales, which includes sales of molybdenum produced at the North America 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 X.
North America's consolidated copper sales volumes of 458 million pounds in third-quarter 2016 were less than third-quarter 2015 sales of 483 million pounds, primarily attributable to the May 2016 sale of a portion of FCX's interest in Morenci. North America copper sales are estimated to approximate 1.8 billion pounds for the year 2016, compared with 2.0 billion pounds in 2015.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines of $1.37 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2016 were lower than the unit net cash costs of $1.68 per pound in third-quarter 2015, primarily reflecting cost reduction initiatives.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines are expected to approximate $1.41 per pound of copper for the year 2016, based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average molybdenum price of $7 per pound for fourth-quarter 2016. North America's average unit net cash costs would change by approximately $0.005 per pound for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum.

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. The Cerro Verde expansion project commenced operations in September 2015 and achieved capacity operating rates during first-quarter 2016. Cerro Verde's expanded operations benefit from its large-scale, long-lived reserves and cost efficiencies. The project expanded the concentrator facilities from 120,000 metric tons of ore per day to 360,000 metric tons of ore per day and is on track to provide incremental annual production of approximately 600 million pounds of copper and 15 million pounds of molybdenum.
During 2015, FCX revised plans for its South America copper mines, principally to reflect adjustments to the mine plan at El Abra to reduce mining and stacking rates by approximately 50 percent to achieve lower operating and labor costs, defer capital expenditures and extend the life of the existing operations.
FCX continues to evaluate a potential large-scale milling operation at El Abra to process additional sulfide material and to achieve higher recoveries. Exploration results in recent years at El Abra indicate a significant sulfide resource, which could potentially support a major mill project. Future investments will depend on technical studies, economic factors and global copper market conditions.

South America's consolidated copper sales volumes of 323 million pounds in third-quarter 2016 were significantly higher than third-quarter 2015 sales of 207 million pounds, reflecting Cerro Verde's expanded operations. Sales from South America mining are expected to approximate 1.3 billion pounds of copper for the year 2016, compared with 871 million pounds of copper in 2015.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America mining of $1.40 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2016 were lower than unit net cash costs of $1.68 per pound in third-quarter 2015, primarily reflecting higher copper sales volumes and efficiencies associated with the Cerro Verde expansion and higher by-product credits. Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America mining are expected to approximate $1.42 per pound of copper for the year 2016, based on current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming average prices of $7 per pound of molybdenum for fourth-quarter 2016.
    
Indonesia Mining. Through its 90.64 percent owned and consolidated subsidiary PT-FI, FCX's assets include one of the world's largest copper and gold deposits at the Grasberg minerals district in Papua, Indonesia. PT-FI operates a proportionately consolidated joint venture, which produces copper concentrate that contains significant quantities of gold and silver.
Regulatory Matters. PT-FI continues to engage with Indonesian government officials regarding its long-term operating rights under its Contract of Work (COW), and its rights to export concentrate without restriction.
PT-FI and the Indonesian government entered into a Memorandum of Understanding in July 2014, in which subject to concluding an agreement to extend PT-FI's operations beyond 2021 on acceptable terms, PT-FI agreed to construct new smelter capacity in Indonesia and to divest an additional 20.64 percent interest in PT-FI at fair market value. PT-FI also agreed to pay higher royalties and to pay export duties until certain smelter development milestones were met.
In October 2015, the Indonesian government provided a letter of assurance to PT-FI indicating that it would revise regulations allowing it to approve the extension of operations beyond 2021, and provide the same rights and the same level of legal and fiscal certainty provided under its current COW.
In August 2016, PT-FI's export permit was renewed through January 11, 2017. Current regulations published by the Indonesian government prohibit exports of copper concentrate and anode slimes after January 12, 2017. Indonesian government officials have indicated an intent to revise this regulation to protect employment and government revenues. PT-FI is actively engaged with Indonesian government officials on this matter.

Operating and Development Activities. PT-FI is currently mining the final phase of the Grasberg open pit, which contains very high copper and gold ore grades. PT-FI expects to mine high-grade ore over the next several quarters prior to transitioning to the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine in the first half of 2018.
PT-FI has several projects in progress in the Grasberg minerals district related to the development of its large-scale, long-lived, high-grade underground ore bodies. In aggregate, these underground ore bodies are expected to produce large-scale quantities of copper and gold following the transition from the Grasberg open pit. From 2017 to 2020, estimated aggregate capital spending on these projects is currently expected to average $1.0 billion per year ($0.8 billion per year net to PT-FI). Considering the long-term nature and size of these projects, actual costs could vary from these estimates. In response to market conditions and Indonesian regulatory uncertainty, the timing of these expenditures continues to be reviewed.

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.
Indonesia's consolidated copper sales totaled 332 million pounds in third-quarter 2016 and were higher than third-quarter 2015 sales of 198 million pounds, primarily reflecting higher copper ore grades. Indonesia's third-quarter 2016 gold sales of 307 thousand ounces were higher than third-quarter 2015 sales of 285 thousand ounces. Third-quarter 2016 sales volumes were below previous estimates because of lower mining rates that affected the timing of access to higher grade ore and a deferral of production into future periods resulting from labor productivity issues and a 10-day work stoppage beginning in late September.
At the Grasberg mine, the sequencing of mining areas with varying ore grades causes fluctuations in quarterly and annual production of copper and gold. Consolidated sales volumes from Indonesia mining operations are expected to approximate 1.2 billion pounds of copper and 1.24 million ounces of gold for the year 2016, compared with 744 million pounds of copper and 1.2 million ounces of gold for the year 2015. Ore grades are expected to further improve in 2017 because of increased access to higher grade sections of the Grasberg open pit.
A significant portion of PT-FI's costs are fixed and unit costs vary depending on volumes and other factors. Indonesia's unit net cash costs (including gold and silver credits) of $0.57 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2016 were lower than unit net cash costs of $1.18 per pound in third-quarter 2015, primarily reflecting higher sales volumes, partly offset by lower by-product credits.
Based on current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming an average gold price of $1,250 per ounce for fourth-quarter 2016, unit net cash costs (net of gold and silver credits) for Indonesia mining are expected to approximate $0.62 per pound for the year 2016. Indonesia mining's unit net cash costs for the year 2016 would

8



change by approximately $0.03 per pound for each $50 per ounce change in the average price of gold for fourth-quarter 2016. Because of the fixed nature of a large portion of Indonesia mining's costs, unit costs vary from quarter to quarter depending on copper and gold volumes. Anticipated higher ore grades from the Grasberg mine are expected to result in lower unit net cash costs in fourth-quarter 2016 and for the year 2017.
Indonesia mining's projected sales volumes are dependent on a number of factors, including operational performance, the timing of shipments and approval by the Indonesian government to continue the export of copper concentrate and anode slimes.
Africa Mining. In May 2016, FCX entered into an agreement to sell its interest in TF Holdings Limited (TFHL), through which FCX holds an effective 56 percent interest in the Tenke copper and cobalt mining concessions in the Southeast region of the DRC. In accordance with accounting guidelines, the operating results of Africa mining have been separately reported as discontinued operations in FCX’s consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The closing of the transaction is currently subject to customary closing conditions including the resolution of the right of first offer of Lundin Mining Corporation (holds a 30 percent interest in TFHL) and the parties are working towards a satisfactory resolution. In addition, La Générale des Carrières et des Mines (Gécamines), which is wholly owned by the DRC government (holds a 20 percent non-dilutable interest in Tenke Fungurume Mining S.A.) recently filed an arbitration proceeding with the International Court of Arbitration challenging the transaction; however, FCX believes that Gecamines’ claims have no legal basis. FCX and the purchaser, China Molybdenum Co., Ltd. are committed to closing the transaction and we expect to close in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Africa mining's copper sales of 118 million pounds in third-quarter 2016 were slightly higher than third-quarter 2015 copper sales of 113 million pounds. Africa mining's sales for 2016 are expected to approximate 485 million pounds of copper and 38 million pounds of cobalt, compared with 467 million pounds of copper and 35 million pounds of cobalt for the year 2015. Africa mining's projected sales for the year 2016 would be impacted by the timing of the completion of the sale of FCX's interest in TFHL.
Africa mining's unit net cash costs (net of cobalt credits) of $1.16 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2016 were slightly higher than unit net cash costs of $1.15 per pound of copper in third-quarter 2015. Unit net cash costs (net of cobalt credits) for Africa mining are expected to approximate $1.26 per pound of copper for 2016, based on current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average cobalt price of $11 per pound for fourth-quarter of 2016.

Molybdenum Mines. FCX has two wholly owned molybdenum mines in North America - the Henderson underground mine and the Climax open-pit mine, both in Colorado. 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 molybdenum concentrate produced at the Henderson and Climax mines, as well as from FCX's North and South America copper mines, is processed at FCX's conversion facilities.
Operating and Development Activities. In response to market conditions, the revised plans for the Henderson molybdenum mine incorporate lower operating rates, resulting in an approximate 65 percent reduction in Henderson's annual production volumes. FCX also adjusted production plans at its by-product mines, including reduced production at its Sierrita mine. Additionally, FCX incorporated changes in the commercial pricing structure for its chemicals products to promote continuation of chemical-grade production.
Production from the Molybdenum mines totaled 5 million pounds of molybdenum in third-quarter 2016 and 13 million pounds in third-quarter 2015. Refer to summary operating data on page 4 for FCX's consolidated molybdenum sales, which includes sales of molybdenum produced at the Molybdenum mines, and from FCX's North and South America copper mines.
Average unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines of $10.28 per pound of molybdenum in third-quarter 2016 were higher than average unit net cash costs of $6.93 per pound in third-quarter 2015, primarily reflecting lower volumes. Based on current sales volume and cost estimates, unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines are expected to average approximately $8.50 per pound of molybdenum for the year 2016.
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.

Mining Exploration Activities.     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 and South America. Exploration spending continues to be constrained by market conditions and is expected to approximate $45 million for the year 2016.

OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS
Through its wholly owned oil and gas subsidiary, FM O&G, FCX's principal oil and gas assets include oil production facilities in the Deepwater GOM and California.
In September 2016, FCX entered into an agreement to sell its Deepwater GOM properties to Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (Anadarko) for cash consideration of $2.0 billion (before closing adjustments) and up to $150 million in contingent payments. The contingent payments would be received over time as Anadarko realizes future cash flows in connection with FCX's third-party production handling agreement for the Marlin platform. The transaction has an effective date of August 1, 2016, and is expected to close in fourth-quarter 2016, subject to customary closing conditions. In connection with the sale of the Deepwater GOM properties, FM O&G entered into an agreement to amend the terms of the Plains Offshore Operations Inc. preferred stock to provide FM O&G the right to call these securities for $582 million. FM O&G expects to exercise this option at the time the Deepwater GOM sale closes.
In October 2016, FCX entered into an agreement to sell its onshore California oil and gas properties to Sentinel Peak Resources California LLC for cash consideration of $592 million (before closing adjustments) and contingent consideration of up to $150 million, consisting of $50 million per year for 2018, 2019 and 2020 if the price of Brent crude oil averages $70 per barrel or higher in each of these calendar years. The transaction has an effective date of July 1, 2016, and is expected to close in fourth-quarter 2016, subject to customary closing conditions.
Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties. FCX follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas operations, whereby all costs associated with oil and gas property acquisition, exploration and development activities are capitalized and amortized to expense under the unit-of-production method on a country-by-country basis using estimates of proved oil and gas reserves relating to each country where such activities are conducted. The costs of unproved oil and gas properties are excluded from amortization until the properties are evaluated.
Under full cost accounting rules, a "ceiling test" is conducted each quarter to review the carrying value of oil and gas properties for impairment. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires the twelve-month average of the first-day-of-the-month historical reference oil price be used in determining the ceiling test

10



limitation. Using West Texas Intermediate (WTI) as the reference oil price, the average price was $41.68 per barrel at September 30, 2016, compared with $43.12 per barrel at June 30, 2016. As a result of the impact of the reduction in twelve-month historical prices and reserve revisions, net capitalized costs exceeded the ceiling test limitation under full cost accounting rules, which resulted in the recognition of a third-quarter 2016 impairment charge of $239 million.

Cash operating margin for oil and gas operations reflects realized revenues less cash production costs. Cash production costs exclude accretion and other costs. For reconciliations of realized revenues (including average realized prices for oil, natural gas and NGLs) and cash production costs to revenues and production and delivery costs reported in FCX's consolidated financial statements, refer to the supplemental schedules, “Product Revenues and Production Costs,” beginning on page X.
b.
Includes realized cash gains on crude oil derivative contracts of $103 million ($11.03 per barrel of oil and $7.44 per BOE) in third-quarter 2015 and $304 million ($11.58 per barrel of oil and $7.72 per BOE) for the first nine months of 2015.
c.
Excludes international oil and gas expenditures totaling $37 million in third-quarter 2015, $47 million for the first nine months of 2016 and $81 million for the first nine months of 2015, primarily related to the Morocco oil and gas properties.
The average realized price for crude oil was $40.63 per barrel in third-quarter 2016 (86 percent of the average Brent crude oil price of $46.99 per barrel). The average realized price for natural gas was $2.84 per MMBtu in third-quarter 2016, compared to the New York Mercantile Exchange natural gas price average of $2.81 per MMBtu for the July through September 2016 contracts.
Lower realized revenues for oil and gas operations of $34.99 per BOE in third-quarter 2016, compared to $43.00 per BOE in third-quarter 2015, primarily reflects the impact of realized cash gains on derivative contracts of $7.44 per BOE in third-quarter 2015.
Cash production costs for oil and gas operations of $15.00 per BOE in third-quarter 2016 were lower than cash production costs of $18.85 per BOE in third-quarter 2015, primarily reflecting ongoing cost reduction efforts.

CASH FLOWS, CASH, DEBT and EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
Operating Cash Flows. FCX generated operating cash flows of $980 million for third-quarter 2016 and $2.6 billion (including $463 million in working capital sources and changes in other tax payments) for the first nine months of 2016.
Based on current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming average prices of $2.10 per pound of copper, $1,250 per ounce of gold, $7 per pound of molybdenum and $51 per barrel of Brent crude oil for fourth-quarter 2016, FCX's consolidated operating cash flows are estimated to approximate $3.6 billion for the year 2016 (including $0.3 billion in working capital sources and other tax payments). The impact of price changes during fourth-quarter 2016 on operating cash flows would approximate $150 million for each $0.10 per pound change in the average price of copper, $20 million for each $50 per ounce change in the average price of gold, $15 million for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum and $28 million for each $5 per barrel change in the average Brent crude oil price.
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures totaled $494 million for third-quarter 2016, consisting of $333 million for mining operations (including $250 million for major projects primarily for the development of underground mines by PT-FI) and $160 million for oil and gas operations. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2016 totaled $2.3 billion, consisting of $1.2 billion for mining operations (including $0.9 billion for major projects) and $1.1 billion for oil and gas operations.
Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $2.8 billion for the year 2016, consisting of $1.6 billion for mining operations (including $1.2 billion for major projects, primarily for the development of underground mines by PT-FI and for the Cerro Verde expansion, which was completed earlier in the year) and $1.2 billion for oil and gas operations.

In accordance with the mandatory prepayment provision of the amended Term Loan, 50 percent of the proceeds associated with FCX's pending asset sale transactions must be applied toward repaying the Term Loan.
At September 30, 2016, FCX had no borrowings, $43 million in letters of credit issued and availability of $3.5 billion under its revolving credit facility.
Equity. In July 2016, FCX commenced a registered ATM offering of up to $1.5 billion of common stock. Through October 24, 2016, FCX has sold 33.5 million shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of $415 million ($12.39 per share average price). As of September 30, 2016, FCX has 1.36 billion common shares outstanding.

FINANCIAL POLICY
FCX intends to continue to seek to strengthen its financial position, with a focus on significant debt reduction. In December 2015, FCX's common stock dividend was suspended. FCX's Board of Directors will continue to review its financial policy on an ongoing basis.

a.
Represents income (loss) from continuing operations by geographic location before income taxes and equity in affiliated companies' net earnings (losses).
b.
Includes net tax credits of $290 million for the first nine months of 2016 associated with FCX's election to monetize alternative minimum tax credits, changes to valuation allowances and net operating loss carryback claims.
c.
Includes a gain of $92 million related to net proceeds received from insurance carriers and other third parties related to the shareholder derivative litigation settlement for which there was no related tax provision.
d.
As a result of the impairment to U.S. oil and gas properties, FCX recorded tax charges to establish valuation allowances against U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets that will not generate a future benefit.
e.
In accordance with applicable accounting rules, FCX adjusts its interim provision for income taxes equal to its consolidated tax rate.
f.
The consolidated effective income tax rate is a function of the combined effective tax rates for the jurisdictions in which FCX operates. Accordingly, variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income result in fluctuations to FCX's consolidated effective income tax rate. Assuming achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and average prices of $2.10 per pound for copper, $1,250 per ounce for gold, $7 per pound for molybdenum and $51 per barrel of Brent crude oil for fourth-quarter 2016, FCX estimates its consolidated effective rate related to continuing operations for the year 2016 will approximate 40 percent, excluding U.S. domestic losses.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Provisional Pricing. During the first nine months of 2016, FCX's mined copper (excluding volumes from Tenke) was sold 56 percent in concentrate, 22 percent as cathode and 22 percent as rod from North America operations. Under the long-established structure of sales agreements prevalent in the industry, copper contained in concentrates and cathodes is provisionally priced at the time of shipment. The provisional prices are finalized in a contractually specified future month (generally one to four months from the shipment date) primarily based on quoted monthly average spot copper prices on the London Metal Exchange (LME). 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 recorded revenues and the average recorded copper price for the period. LME spot copper prices averaged $2.16 per pound during third-quarter 2016, compared to FCX's average realized price (excluding Tenke) of $2.19 per pound. Following is a summary of the (unfavorable) favorable impacts of net adjustments to prior periods' provisionally priced copper sales for the third quarters and first nine months of 2016 and 2015 (in millions, except per share amounts):

At September 30, 2016, FCX had provisionally priced copper sales at its copper mining operations (excluding volumes from Tenke) totaling 521 million pounds of copper (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average of $2.20 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. FCX estimates that each $0.05 change in the price realized from the September 30, 2016, provisional price recorded would have an approximate $17 million effect on 2016 net income attributable to common stock from continuing operations.

DEFERRED PROFITS
FCX defers recognizing profits on sales from its mining operations to Atlantic Copper and on 25 percent of PT Freeport Indonesia's (PT-FI) 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 additions to net income (loss) attributable to common stock of $17 million in third-quarter 2016, less than $1 million in third-quarter 2015, $6 million for the first nine months of 2016 and $37 million the first nine months of 2015. 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 from continuing operations totaled $19 million at September 30, 2016. 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.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS
FCX has organized its continuing 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. For oil and gas operations, FCX determines its operating segments on a country-by-country basis. Separately disclosed in the following table are FCX's reportable segments, which include the Morenci, Cerro Verde and Grasberg copper mines, the Rod & Refining operations, the Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining operation and U.S. Oil & Gas operations.     
FCX's reportable segments previously included Africa mining, which consisted of the Tenke Fungurume (Tenke) mine. In May 2016, FCX entered into a definitive agreement to sell its effective 56 percent interest in Tenke, and as a result, Tenke has been removed from continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
On May 31, 2016, FCX completed the sale of an additional 13 percent undivided joint venture interest in the Morenci unincorporated joint venture. As a result, FCX's undivided interest in Morenci was prospectively reduced from 85 percent to 72 percent.    
Intersegment sales between FCX’s mining operations are based on similar 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, timing of sales to unaffiliated customers and transportation premiums. In addition, intersegment sales from Tenke to FCX's other consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated in discontinued operations.
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

Mining Product Revenues and Unit Net Cash 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. This measure is 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, (iv) it is the method used to compare mining operations in certain industry publications and (v) it is the method used by FCX's management and Board to monitor mining operations. 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 consist of items such as stock-based compensation costs, start-up costs, inventory adjustments, long-lived asset impairments, restructuring and/or unusual charges. They are removed from site production and delivery costs in the calculation of unit net cash costs. 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.

U.S. Oil & Gas Product Revenues and Cash Production Costs per Unit. Realized revenues and cash production costs per unit are measures intended to provide investors with information about the cash operating margin of FCX's oil and gas operations. FCX uses this measure for the same purpose and for monitoring operating performance by its oil and gas 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. FCX's measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Accretion charges for asset retirement obligations and other costs, such as drillship settlements/idle rig costs, inventory adjustments, asset impairments and/or unusual charges, are removed from production and delivery costs in the calculation of cash production costs per BOE. Additionally, in the 2015 periods, FCX had crude oil derivative contracts. FCX shows revenue adjustments from these derivative contracts as separate line items. Because these adjustments did not result from oil and gas sales, gains and losses have been reflected separately from revenues on current period sales. The following schedules include calculations of oil and gas product revenues and cash production costs together with a reconciliation to amounts reported in FCX's consolidated financial statements.

FREEPORT-McMoRan INC.
RISK FACTOR UPDATES

The risk factor “Because our Grasberg mining operations in Indonesia is a significant operating asset, our business may continue to be adversely affected by political, economic and social uncertainties and security risks in Indonesia”, which was included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, is amended to add the following:
“PT-FI produces copper concentrate that contains significant quantities of gold and silver. Substantially all of PT-FI’s copper concentrate is sold under long-term contracts, and during the first nine months of 2016, approximately half of PT-FI’s concentrate production was sold to PT Smelting, its 25-percent owned smelter and refinery in Gresik, Indonesia, which is the only copper smelter in Indonesia.
In August 2016, PT-FI’s export permit was renewed through January 11, 2017. Current regulations published by the Indonesian government prohibit exports of copper concentrate and anode slimes (a financially important by-product of the copper refining process containing metals including gold, produced by PT Smelting) after January 12, 2017. The Indonesian government has indicated it intends to revise those regulations in order to protect employment and government revenues, but we cannot predict whether and when those regulations may be revised or whether any such revisions would impose conditions or costs on PT-FI not contained in its Contract of Work (COW), such as additional royalty payments or export duties, increased smelter development commitments, increased depository requirements, or conversion of contracts of work to less favorable licenses under the 2009 mining law framework. PT-FI is actively engaged with Indonesian government officials to resolve this matter.
We also cannot predict whether PT-FI will be able to continue to export its copper concentrate, or whether PT Smelting will be able to export its anode slimes, after January 12, 2017. The inability of PT-FI and PT Smelting to export copper concentrate and anode slimes, respectively, for any extended period of time, would lead to the suspension of all of our production in Indonesia, which would have a material adverse effect on our cash flow, liquidity and profitability, and could result in asset impairments, inventory write-downs, difficulty in meeting covenants under our credit facilities, and a significant reduction in our reported mineral reserves.
The initial term of PT-FI’s COW expires in 2021, but the COW explicitly provides that it can be extended for two 10-year periods subject to Indonesian government approval, which cannot be withheld or delayed unreasonably. PT-FI has been engaged in discussions with officials of the Indonesian government since 2012 regarding various provisions of its COW, including extending its term. We cannot predict whether PT-FI will be successful in reaching a satisfactory agreement on the terms of its long-term mining rights. If PT-FI is unable to reach agreement with the Indonesian government on its long-term rights, we may be required to reduce or defer investments in underground development projects, which would have a material adverse effect on our future production, cash flow, liquidity and profitability, and could result in asset impairments, inventory write-downs, difficulty in meeting covenants under our credit facilities, and a significant reduction in our reported mineral reserves.
In the event PT-FI is unable to reach a satisfactory resolution of these matters, PT-FI would intend to pursue any and all claims against the Indonesian government for breach of contract through international arbitration.
On October 14, 2016, a new Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources was appointed, the fourth person to hold the office since July 2016. We cannot predict what impact the transition will have on any amendments to existing regulations, or the progress or outcome of PT-FI’s COW negotiations.”
The risk factor “Mine closure and reclamation regulations impose substantial costs on our operations, and include requirements that we provide financial assurance supporting those obligations. We also have plugging and abandonment obligations related to our oil and gas properties, and are required to provide bonds or other forms of financial assurance in connection with those operations. Changes in or the failure to comply with these requirements could have a material adverse effect on us”, which was included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, is amended to add the following:

XXXIII



FREEPORT-McMoRan INC.
RISK FACTOR UPDATES (continued)

“With respect to our mining operations, our financial assurance obligations are based principally on state laws that may vary by jurisdiction, depending on how each state regulates land use and groundwater quality.  Although Section 108(b) of Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) requires the EPA to identify classes of facilities that must establish evidence of financial responsibility, currently there are no financial assurance requirements for active mining operations under CERCLA. In August 2014, several environmental organizations initiated litigation against the EPA to require it to set a schedule for adopting financial assurance regulations under CERCLA governing the hard rock mining industry. The EPA and the environmental organizations reached a joint agreement and submitted it to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit for approval. Notwithstanding industry objections, the court approved the agreement on January 29, 2016, thereby requiring the EPA to propose financial assurance regulations for the hard rock mining industry by December 1, 2016, and to provide notice of its final action by December 1, 2017. The EPA recently filed a status update with the court confirming that it intended to proceed with promulgation of the proposed rules by December 1, 2016. Based on limited information contained in recent conceptual presentations made by the EPA, the proposed rules, if promulgated as apparently envisioned by the EPA, would result in onerous financial responsibility obligations for our U.S. hard rock mining operations. For instance, the form, cost and availability of financial mechanisms necessary to meet such obligations is uncertain (if they could be met at all). In addition, complying with these obligations could be very costly, harm the international competitiveness of our U.S. hard rock mining operations and have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, operations and profitability.”

Except as described above, there have been no material changes to our risk factors during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. For additional information on risk factors, refer to Part I Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
