a.FCX purchases copper cathode primarily for processing by its U.S. Rod & Refining operations.
b.Reflects royalties on sales from PTFI and Cerro Verde that vary with the volume of metal sold and prices.
c.Revenues from FCX’s copper concentrate sales are recorded net of treatment charges, which vary with the sales volumes and the price of copper. Lower charges in the first nine months of 2026, compared to the first nine months of 2025, primarily reflect lower treatment charge rates as a result of favorable market conditions and the lack of copper concentrate sales volumes in Indonesia now that PTFI is a fully integrated producer of refined copper, gold and silver.
d.Prior to the expiration of its export license on September 16, 2025, PTFI was assessed export duties on copper concentrate sales at a rate of 7.5%. Refer to Note 11 of FCX’s 2025 Form 10-K for further discussion.
e.Refer to Note 5 for discussion of embedded derivatives related to FCX’s provisionally priced copper concentrate and cathode sales contracts.
