NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (U.S.). Therefore, this information should be read in conjunction with Freeport-McMoRan Inc.'s (FCX) consolidated financial statements and notes contained in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported. With the exception of the accounting for discontinued operations, and the oil and gas properties impairment discussed below and the related tax charges to establish a deferred tax valuation allowance (refer to Note 5 ), all such adjustments are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature. As a result of FCX's second-quarter 2016 agreement to sell its interest in TF Holdings Limited (TFHL), FCX has reported TFHL as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the unaudited consolidated financial statements (refer to Note 2). Operating results for the six -month period ended June 30, 2016 , are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 .

Oil and Gas Properties. Under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) full cost accounting rules, FCX reviews the carrying value of its oil and gas properties in the full cost pool for impairment each quarter on a country-by-country basis. Under these rules, capitalized costs of oil and gas properties (net of accumulated depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment, and related deferred income taxes) for each cost center may not exceed a "ceiling" equal to:

These rules require that FCX price its future oil and gas production at the twelve-month average of the first-day-of-the-month historical reference prices as adjusted for location and quality differentials. FCX's reference prices are West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for oil and the Henry Hub spot price for natural gas. Such prices are utilized except where different prices are fixed and determinable from applicable contracts for the remaining term of those contracts. The estimated future net cash flows also exclude future cash outflows associated with settling asset retirement obligations included in the net book value of the oil and gas properties. The rules require an impairment if the capitalized costs exceed this "ceiling."

In addition, following the evaluation of alternatives for the oil and gas business and the current limitations and cost of capital available for future drilling, FCX Oil & Gas Inc. (FM O&G, a wholly owned subsidiary of FCX) determined that the carrying values of certain of its unevaluated properties were impaired. For the first six months of 2016 , FM O&G transferred $3.2 billion of costs (including $3.1 billion in first-quarter 2016) associated with unevaluated properties to the full cost pool, mostly reflecting impairment of the carrying values of unevaluated properties. Combined with the impact of the reduction in twelve-month historical prices, net capitalized costs exceeded the related ceiling test limitation under full cost accounting rules, which resulted in the recognition of a $291 million impairment charge in second-quarter 2016 and $4.1 billion for the first six months of 2016 . The twelve-month average price (using WTI as the reference oil price) was $43.12 per barrel at June 30, 2016 , compared with $46.26 per barrel at March 31, 2016.

NOTE 2. DISPOSITIONS

Timok. On May 2, 2016 , Freeport Minerals Corporation (FMC), a wholly owned subsidiary of FCX, completed the sale of an interest in the Timok exploration project in Serbia to Reservoir Minerals Inc. for consideration of $135 million in cash and contingent consideration of up to $107 million payable to FCX in stages upon achievement of defined development milestones (no amounts were recorded for the contingent consideration as of June 30, 2016). As a result of this transaction, FCX recorded a gain of $133 million in second-quarter 2016.

Morenci . On May 31, 2016 , FCX completed the sale of a 13 percent undivided interest in its Morenci unincorporated joint venture to Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. (SMM) for $1.0 billion in cash. FCX recorded a $577 million gain on the transaction and used losses to offset cash taxes on the transaction. Proceeds from the transaction were used to repay borrowings under FCX's unsecured bank term loan (Term Loan) and revolving credit facility.

The Morenci unincorporated joint venture was owned 85 percent by FCX and 15 percent by Sumitomo Metal Mining Arizona Inc. (Sumitomo). As a result of the transaction, the unincorporated joint venture is owned 72 percent by FCX, 15 percent by Sumitomo and 13 percent by an affiliate that is wholly owned by SMM.

Oil and Gas Operations. On June 17, 2016 , FM O&G completed the sale of certain oil and gas royalty interests to Black Stone Minerals, L.P. for cash consideration of $102 million , before closing adjustments. In addition, on July 25, 2016 , FM O&G completed the sale of its Haynesville shale assets for cash consideration of $87 million , before closing adjustments. Under the full cost accounting rules, the proceeds were recorded as a reduction of capitalized oil and gas properties, with no gain or loss recognition.

TF Holdings Limited - Discontinued Operations. On May 9, 2016 , FCX entered into a definitive agreement to sell its 70 percent interest in TFHL to China Molybdenum Co., Ltd. (CMOC) for $2.65 billion in cash and contingent consideration of up to $120 million in cash, consisting of $60 million if the average copper price exceeds $3.50 per pound and $60 million if the average cobalt price exceeds $20 per pound, both during calendar years 2018 and 2019 (no amounts were recorded for the contingent consideration as of June 30, 2016). Through its interest in TFHL, FCX has an effective 56 percent interest in Tenke Fungurume Mining S.A. (TFM or Tenke) located in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The transaction is expected to close in fourth-quarter 2016, subject to regulatory approvals, CMOC shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is also subject to Lundin Mining Corporation's (Lundin) right of first offer (ROFO), which expires on September 15, 2016 . Lundin holds the remaining 30 percent interest in TFHL. In accordance with the mandatory prepayment provision of FCX's Term Loan, one-half of the proceeds from this transaction must be applied toward repaying FCX's Term Loan.

In accordance with accounting guidance, FCX has reported the results of operations of TFHL as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and presented the assets and liabilities of TFHL as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. The consolidated statements of comprehensive loss were not impacted by discontinued operations as TFHL did not have any other comprehensive income, and the consolidated statements of cash flows are reported on a combined basis without separately presenting discontinued operations.

Net (loss) income from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations consists of the following (in millions):

FCX has also agreed to negotiate exclusively with CMOC (until December 31, 2016) to enter into a definitive agreement to sell its interest in Freeport Cobalt for $100 million and the Kisanfu exploration project in the DRC for $50 million in separate transactions. Freeport Cobalt includes the large-scale cobalt refinery in Kokkola, Finland, and the related sales and marketing business, in which FCX owns an effective 56 percent interest. Kisanfu is a copper and cobalt exploration project, located near Tenke, in which FCX holds a 100 percent interest.

NOTE 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

FCX's basic net loss per share of common stock was computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share of common stock was computed using the most dilutive of (a) the two-class method or (b) the treasury stock method. Under the two-class method, net income is allocated to each class of common stock and participating securities as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. FCX's participating securities consist of vested restricted stock units (RSUs) for which the underlying common shares are not yet issued and entitle holders to non-forfeitable dividends.

A reconciliation of net loss and weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net (loss) income per share follows (in millions, except per share amounts):

Outstanding stock options with exercise prices greater than the average market price of FCX's common stock during the period are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share of common stock. Stock options for 46 million shares of common stock were excluded for second-quarter 2016 , 47 million for the first six months of 2016 and 40 million for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 .

NOTE 4. INVENTORIES, INCLUDING LONG-TERM MILL AND LEACH STOCKPILES

The components of inventories follow (in millions):

FCX recorded charges for adjustments to inventory carrying values of $2 million in second-quarter 2016 and $7 million for the first six months of 2016, primarily at the Molybdenum mines because of lower molybdenum prices, and $59 million in second-quarter 2015 and $63 million for the first six months of 2015, primarily because of lower molybdenum and copper prices (refer to Note 10 for 2015 inventory adjustments by business segment).

NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES

Variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income result in fluctuations to FCX's consolidated effective income tax rate. FCX's consolidated effective income tax rate was (5) percent for the first six months of 2016 and 25 percent for the first six months of 2015 . Geographic sources of FCX's (provision for) benefit from income taxes follow (in millions):

As a result of the impairment to U.S. oil and gas properties, FCX recorded tax charges of $1.5 billion for the first six months of 2016 and $763 million for the first six months of 2015 to establish a valuation allowance primarily against U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets that will not generate a future benefit. Excluding these charges, FCX's consolidated effective income tax rate was 33 percent for the first six months of 2016 and 38 percent for the first six months of 2015 .

As of December 31, 2015 , FCX had determined that undistributed earnings of TFM were reinvested indefinitely and were allocated toward specifically identifiable needs of the local operations. In connection with the anticipated sale of its interest in TFHL, management concluded that its share of undistributed earnings of TFM were no longer reinvested indefinitely. This change did not have a material impact on FCX's results of operations.

Applicable accounting standards require that FCX estimate an annual effective tax rate and apply that rate to each year-to-date interim period. However, because FCX's estimated effective income tax rate for 2016 is highly variable ( i.e. , minor changes in FCX's estimated annual (loss) income would have a significant effect on the consolidated annual effective income tax rate), the actual effective income tax rate for the year-to-date reporting period represents a better estimate of the consolidated annual effective income tax rate. Accordingly, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 , the actual consolidated effective income tax rate was used to determine FCX's income tax provision.

NOTE 6. DEBT AND EQUITY

Debt. The components of debt follow (in millions):

On February 26, 2016 , FCX amended its revolving credit facility and Term Loan. The amendments included (i) modification of the maximum leverage ratio and the minimum interest expense coverage ratio, and (ii) the addition of a springing collateral and guarantee trigger. In addition, the commitment under the revolving credit facility was reduced from $4.0 billion to $3.5 billion , and the mandatory prepayment provision was modified under the Term Loan. Refer to Note 18 of FCX's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, for further discussion of these amendments.

In second-quarter 2016, FCX prepaid $568 million on the Term Loan with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the 13 percent undivided interest in Morenci.

With closed and pending asset sales exceeding the required $3 billion threshold under FCX's revolving credit facility and Term Loan, the springing collateral requirement under these agreements was not triggered on June 30, 2016. Since the TFHL transaction is not expected to close until fourth-quarter 2016, FCX was required to pledge its shares in FMC on June 30, 2016, which will be released upon closing of this transaction. If $3 billion in asset sale transactions have not been completed by December 31, 2016, the springing collateral requirement will be triggered.

At June 30, 2016 , there were no borrowings outstanding and $40 million in letters of credit issued under FCX's revolving credit facility, resulting in availability of approximately $3.5 billion , of which approximately $1.5 billion could be used for additional letters of credit.

Early Extinguishment of Debt

During second-quarter 2016, FCX redeemed certain senior notes in exchange for its common stock (refer to the discussion under "Equity" in this note). A summary of these debt extinguishments follows (in millions):

In addition, FCX recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt totaling $3 million associated with the modifications to its Term Loan and revolving credit facility in first-quarter 2016.

Interest Expense, Net

Consolidated interest expense from continuing operations (excluding capitalized interest) totaled $218 million in second-quarter 2016 , $208 million in second-quarter 2015 , $436 million for the first six months of 2016 and $411 million for the first six months of 2015 . Capitalized interest added to property, plant, equipment and mining development costs, net, totaled $22 million in second-quarter 2016 , $47 million in second-quarter 2015 , $42 million for the first six months of 2016 and $92 million for the first six months of 2015 . Capitalized interest added to oil and gas properties not subject to amortization totaled $19 million in second-quarter 2015 (none in second-quarter 2016), $7 million for the first six months of 2016 and $38 million for the first six months of 2015 .

Equity. In 2015 and through January 5, 2016, FCX generated approximately $2 billion in gross proceeds (proceeds of $1.97 billion net of $20 million of commissions and expenses) through the sale of 210 million shares of common stock ( 206 million shares through December 31, 2015, and 4 million shares (with a value of $32 million ) in January 2016) under its at-the-market equity programs. At July 29, 2016, FCX has approximately $12 million remaining under these at-the-market equity programs.

During second-quarter 2016, FCX issued 48 million shares of its common stock (with a value of $540 million , excluding $5 million of commissions paid by FCX) in connection with the settlement of two drilling rig contracts (refer to Note 9 for further discussion).

During second-quarter 2016, FCX negotiated private exchange transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, whereby 17 million shares of FCX's common stock were issued, with an additional 3 million shares that settled in early July 2016 (with an aggregate value of $226 million ), in exchange for $268 million principal amount of FCX's senior notes. From July 1, 2016, through August 4, 2016, an additional 8 million shares of FCX's common stock (with a value of $85 million ) were issued in exchange for $101 million principal amount of FCX's senior notes. The timing of future exchanges is dependent upon many factors including FCX's operating results, cash flow and financial position, the market price of FCX's common stock, and general economic and market conditions.

NOTE 7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FCX does not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments unless there is an existing asset or obligation, or it anticipates a future activity that is likely to occur and will result in exposure to market risks, which FCX intends to offset or mitigate. FCX does not enter into any derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes, but has entered into derivative financial instruments in limited instances to achieve specific objectives. These objectives principally relate to managing risks associated with commodity price changes, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

Commodity Contracts.  From time to time, FCX has entered into derivative contracts to hedge the market risk associated with fluctuations in the prices of commodities it purchases and sells. Derivative financial instruments used by FCX to manage its risks do not contain credit risk-related contingent provisions. As of June 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , FCX had no price protection contracts relating to its mine production or future sales of oil and gas. A discussion of FCX's derivative contracts and programs follows.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments – Fair Value Hedges

Copper Futures and Swap Contracts. Some of FCX's U.S. copper rod customers request a fixed market price instead of the Commodity Exchange Inc. (COMEX), a division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, average copper price in the month of shipment. FCX hedges this price exposure in a manner that allows it to receive the COMEX average price in the month of shipment while the customers pay the fixed price they requested. FCX accomplishes this by entering into copper futures or swap contracts. Hedging gains or losses from these copper futures and swap contracts are recorded in revenues. FCX did not have any significant gains or losses during the six -month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , resulting from hedge ineffectiveness. At June 30, 2016 , FCX held copper futures and swap contracts that qualified for hedge accounting for 62 million pounds at an average contract price of $2.18  per pound, with maturities through March 2018 .

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

Embedded Derivatives. As described in Note 1 to FCX's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, under "Revenue Recognition," certain FCX copper concentrate, copper cathode and gold sales contracts provide for provisional pricing primarily based on the London Metal Exchange (LME) copper price or the COMEX copper price and the London Bullion Market Association (London) gold price at the time of shipment as specified in the contract. Similarly, FCX purchases copper under contracts that provide for provisional pricing. FCX applies the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception in accordance with derivatives and hedge accounting guidance to the host sales agreements since the contracts do not allow for net settlement and always result in physical delivery. Sales and purchases with a provisional sales price contain an embedded derivative ( i.e. , the price settlement mechanism is settled after the time of delivery) that is required to be bifurcated from the host contract. The host contract is the sale or purchase of the metals contained in the concentrate or cathode at the then-current LME or COMEX copper price or the London gold price as defined in the contract. Mark-to-market price fluctuations from these embedded derivatives related to continuing operations are recorded through the settlement date and are reflected in revenues for sales contracts and in cost of sales as production and delivery costs for purchase contracts. Mark-to-market price fluctuations associated with embedded derivatives for discontinued operations, which were minimal, are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented in these financial statements.

A summary of FCX's embedded derivatives at June 30, 2016 , follows:

Crude Oil Contracts. As a result of the acquisition of the oil and gas business, FCX had derivative contracts in 2015 that consisted of crude oil options. These derivatives were not designated as hedging instruments and were recorded at fair value with the mark-to-market gains and losses recorded in revenues. The crude oil options were entered into to protect the realized price of a portion of expected future sales in order to limit the effects of crude oil price decreases. The remaining contracts matured in 2015, and FCX does not have any crude oil derivative contracts in place for 2016 or future years.

Copper Forward Contracts. Atlantic Copper, FCX's wholly owned smelting and refining unit in Spain, enters into copper forward contracts designed to hedge its copper price risk whenever its physical purchases and sales pricing periods do not match. These economic hedge transactions are intended to hedge against changes in copper prices, with the mark-to-market hedging gains or losses recorded in cost of sales. At June 30, 2016 , Atlantic Copper held net copper forward purchase contracts for 14 million  pounds at an average contract price of $2.10 per pound, with maturities through August 2016 .

Unsettled Derivative Financial Instruments

A summary of the fair values of unsettled commodity derivative financial instruments follows (in millions):
