Freeport-McMoRan
Reports Second-Quarter and Six-Month 2017 Results
Net income attributable to common stock totaled $268 million, $0.18 per share, for second-quarter 2017. After adjusting for net gains of $27 million, $0.01 per share, second-quarter 2017 adjusted net income attributable to common stock totaled $241 million, $0.17 per share.
Consolidated sales totaled 942 million pounds of copper, 432 thousand ounces of gold and 25 million pounds of molybdenum for second-quarter 2017.
Consolidated sales for the year 2017 are expected to approximate 3.7 billion pounds of copper, 1.6 million ounces of gold and 93 million pounds of molybdenum, including 940 million pounds of copper, 375 thousand ounces of gold and 22 million pounds of molybdenum for third-quarter 2017.
Average realized prices were $2.65 per pound for copper, $1,243 per ounce for gold and $9.58 per pound for molybdenum for second-quarter 2017.
Average unit net cash costs were $1.20 per pound of copper for second-quarter 2017 and are expected to average $1.19 per pound of copper for the year 2017.
Operating cash flows totaled $1.0 billion (including $144 million in working capital sources and changes in tax payments) for second-quarter 2017 and $1.8 billion (including $322 million in working capital sources and changes in tax payments) for the first six months of 2017. Based on current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming average prices of $2.65 per pound for copper, $1,250 per ounce for gold and $7.50 per pound for molybdenum for the second half of 2017, operating cash flows for the year 2017 are expected to approximate $3.8 billion (including $0.6 billion in working capital sources and changes in tax payments).
Capital expenditures totaled $362 million (including approximately $210 million for major mining projects) for second-quarter 2017 and $706 million for the first six months of 2017 (including approximately $420 million for major mining projects). Capital expenditures for the year 2017 are expected to approximate $1.6 billion, including $0.7 billion for underground development activities in the Grasberg minerals district in Indonesia, which depends on a resolution of PT Freeport Indonesia's (PT-FI) long-term operating rights.
At June 30, 2017, consolidated cash totaled $4.7 billion and consolidated debt totaled $15.4 billion, compared with $4.2 billion of consolidated cash and $16.0 billion of consolidated debt at December 31, 2016. FCX had no borrowings and $3.5 billion available under its revolving credit facility at June 30, 2017.

PHOENIX, AZ, July 25, 2017 - Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX) reported net income attributable to common stock of $268 million ($0.18 per share) for second-quarter 2017 and $496 million ($0.34 per share) for the first six months of 2017, compared with net losses attributable to common stock of $479 million ($0.38 per share) for second-quarter 2016 and $4.7 billion ($3.70 per share) for the first six months of 2016. After adjusting for net gains (losses) of $27 million ($0.01 per share) for second-quarter 2017 and $(452) million ($(0.36) per share) for second-quarter 2016, adjusted net income (loss) attributable to common stock totaled $241 million ($0.17 per share) for second-quarter 2017 and $(27) million ($(0.02) per share) for second-quarter 2016. Additionally, FCX's second-quarter 2017 sales from its mining operations to affiliated smelters resulted in the deferral of $51 million ($0.04 per share) of net income attributable to common stock, which will be recognized in future periods. Refer to the supplemental schedules, "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)," beginning on page VII, and "Deferred Profits," on page X, which are available on FCX's website, "fcx.com," for additional information.

Richard C. Adkerson, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are successfully executing our strategy of building values in our large-scale, industry-leading portfolio of copper assets. Our strong management of costs and ongoing capital discipline combined with improved copper prices are providing free cash flow to strengthen our company’s financial position. We remain focused on protecting our past investments and supporting our long-term investment plans at the high-grade, long-lived mineral deposits in the Grasberg minerals district in Papua, Indonesia. We are encouraged by recent progress in our active negotiations with the Indonesian government to resolve issues involving our contractual rights and by multiple opportunities to build long-term future values for our shareholders from our high-quality copper assets in the Americas."

Consolidated Sales Volumes
Second-quarter 2017 copper sales of 942 million pounds were lower than the April 2017 estimate of 975 million pounds, primarily reflecting the impact of worker absenteeism on mining and milling rates in Indonesia. Second-quarter 2017 copper sales were also lower than second-quarter 2016 sales of 987 million pounds, primarily reflecting anticipated lower ore grades in North America and lower leach production and recoveries in South America, partly offset by higher volumes from Indonesia associated with higher ore grades and the sale of concentrate in inventory produced in first-quarter 2017.
Second-quarter 2017 gold sales of 432 thousand ounces were slightly lower than the April 2017 estimate of 440 thousand ounces, but were higher than second-quarter 2016 sales of 156 thousand ounces, primarily reflecting higher ore grades from Indonesia.

Second-quarter 2017 molybdenum sales of 25 million pounds were slightly higher than the April 2017 estimate of 24 million pounds and were higher than second-quarter 2016 sales of 19 million pounds.
Sales volumes for the year 2017 are expected to approximate 3.7 billion pounds of copper, 1.6 million ounces of gold and 93 million pounds of molybdenum, including 940 million pounds of copper, 375 thousand ounces of gold and 22 million pounds of molybdenum in third-quarter 2017. Estimated sales volumes for the year 2017 are lower than April 2017 estimates by approximately 150 million pounds of copper and 320 thousand ounces of gold, principally attributable to lower mining rates in the Grasberg open pit associated with reduced manpower levels and modifications to the ramp-up schedule for the Deep Mill Level Zone (DMLZ) underground mine. These shortfalls are expected to be recovered in future periods. Efforts are under way to increase mining rates in the Grasberg open pit to benefit from the high-grade ore currently available to be mined. Refer to page 6 for a discussion of Indonesia Regulatory Matters, which may have a significant impact on future results.
Consolidated Unit Costs
Consolidated average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for FCX's copper mines of $1.20 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2017 were lower than unit net cash costs of $1.33 per pound in second-quarter 2016, primarily reflecting higher by-product credits, partly offset by lower copper sales volumes.
Assuming average prices of $1,250 per ounce of gold and $7.50 per pound of molybdenum for the second half of 2017 and achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, consolidated unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for copper mines are expected to average $1.19 per pound of copper for the year 2017. The impact of price changes for the second half of 2017 on consolidated unit net cash costs would approximate $0.015 per pound for each $50 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $0.01 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.

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, gold 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 potential long-term development projects. Future investments will be undertaken based on the results of economic and technical feasibility studies, and are dependent on market conditions. FCX continues to evaluate opportunities to reduce the capital intensity of its long-term development projects.
Through exploration drilling, FCX has identified a significant resource at the Lone Star project located near the Safford operation in eastern Arizona. Initial production from the Lone Star oxide ores could begin in 2021 using existing infrastructure to replace oxide production from Safford. FCX is seeking regulatory approvals for this project and continues to evaluate longer term opportunities available from the significant sulfide potential in the Lone Star/Safford minerals district.

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, which are available on FCX's website, "fcx.com."
North America's consolidated copper sales volumes of 408 million pounds in second-quarter 2017 were lower than second-quarter 2016 sales of 464 million pounds, primarily reflecting lower ore grades. North America copper sales are estimated to approximate 1.5 billion pounds for the year 2017, compared with 1.8 billion pounds in 2016.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines of $1.53 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2017 were higher than unit net cash costs of $1.40 per pound in second-quarter 2016, primarily reflecting lower sales volumes, partly offset by higher by-product credits.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for the North America copper mines are expected to approximate $1.54 per pound of copper for the year 2017, based on achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average molybdenum price of $7.50 per pound for the second half of 2017. North America's average unit net cash costs for the year 2017 would change by approximately $0.02 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.
In the second half of 2015, FCX adjusted operations at its El Abra mine 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. El Abra continues to operate at reduced rates.
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 at El Abra indicate a significant sulfide resource,

South America's consolidated copper sales volumes of 287 million pounds in second-quarter 2017 were lower than second-quarter 2016 sales of 327 million pounds primarily reflecting lower mining rates, ore grades and recoveries. Sales from South America mining are expected to approximate 1.2 billion pounds of copper for the year 2017, compared with 1.3 billion pounds of copper in 2016.
Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America mining of $1.65 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2017 were higher than unit net cash costs of $1.31 per pound in second-quarter 2016, primarily reflecting lower sales volumes and higher maintenance costs. Average unit net cash costs (net of by-product credits) for South America mining are expected to approximate $1.65 per pound of copper for the year 2017, based on current sales volume and cost estimates and assuming an average price of $7.50 per pound of molybdenum for the second half of 2017.

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. In January and February 2017, the Indonesian government issued new regulations to address the export of unrefined metals, including copper concentrate and anode slimes, and other matters related to the mining sector. The new regulations permit the continuation of copper concentrate exports for a five-year period through January 2022, subject to various conditions, including conversion from a contract of work to a special operating license (known as an IUPK, which does not provide the same level of fiscal and legal protections as PT-FI's Contract of Work (COW), which remains in effect), a commitment to the completion of smelter construction in five years and payment of export duties to be determined by the Ministry of Finance. In addition, the

 
 
 
Freeport-McMoRan

header2017a01.jpg

new regulations enable application for an extension of operating rights five years before expiration of the IUPK and require foreign IUPK holders to divest a 51 percent interest in the licensed entity to Indonesian interests no later than the tenth year of production. Export licenses would be valid for one-year periods, subject to review every six months, depending on smelter construction progress.
Following the issuance of the January and February 2017 regulations and discussions with the Indonesian government, PT-FI advised the government that it was prepared to convert its COW to an IUPK, subject to obtaining an investment stability agreement providing contractual rights with the same level of legal and fiscal certainty enumerated under its COW, and provided that the COW would remain in effect until it is replaced by a mutually satisfactory alternative. PT-FI also committed to commence construction of a new smelter during a five-year time frame, subject to approval of the extension of its long-term operating rights.
In mid-February 2017, pursuant to the COW's dispute resolution provisions, PTFI provided formal notice to the Indonesian government of an impending dispute listing the government's breaches and violations of the COW. PT-FI continues to reserve its rights under these provisions.
As a result of the 2017 regulatory restrictions and uncertainties regarding long-term investment stability, PT-FI has taken actions to adjust its cost structure, slow investments in its underground development projects and new smelter, and place certain of its workforce on furlough programs.
In late March 2017, the Indonesian government amended the regulations to enable PT-FI to retain its COW until replaced with an IUPK accompanied by an investment stability agreement, and to grant PT-FI a temporary IUPK through October 10, 2017, that would allow concentrate exports to resume during this period. In April 2017, PT-FI entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Indonesian government confirming that the COW would continue to be valid and honored until replaced by a mutually agreed IUPK and investment stability agreement. PT-FI agreed to continue to pay a five percent export duty during this period.
On April 21, 2017, the Indonesian government issued a permit to PT-FI that allows exports to resume for a six-month period, and PT-FI commenced export shipments.
PT-FI and the Indonesian government are now engaged in active negotiations on the conversion of PT-FI's COW to an IUPK accompanied by an investment stability agreement with the objective of providing a mutually acceptable long-term investment framework. In addition to negotiating a stability agreement, the parties are also discussing requirements for the construction of a new smelter and the government's request for divestment.
PT-FI and the Indonesian government are working cooperatively with the objective of reaching a mutually acceptable long-term resolution during 2017 to secure PT-FI's long-term investments for the benefit of all stakeholders.
Operating and Development Activities. PT-FI is currently mining the final phase of the Grasberg open pit, which contains 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 early 2019.
PT-FI has several projects 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. As a result of regulatory uncertainty, PT-FI has slowed investments in its underground development projects in 2017. Assuming an agreement is reached to support PT-FI's long-term investment plans, estimated annual capital spending on these projects would average $1.0 billion per year ($0.8 billion per year net to PT-FI) over the next five years. 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, timing of these expenditures continues to be reviewed. If PT-FI is unable to reach agreement with the Indonesian government on its long-term mining rights, FCX intends to reduce or defer investments significantly in its underground development projects and pursue arbitration under its COW.

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, which are available on FCX's website, "fcx.com."
b.
Excludes fixed costs charged directly to production and delivery costs totaling $82 million ($0.33 per pound of copper) for second-quarter 2017 and $103 million ($0.28 per pound of copper) for the first six months of 2017 associated with workforce reductions.
Beginning in mid-April 2017, PT-FI experienced a high level of worker absenteeism, which has unfavorably impacted mining and milling rates. During May 2017, a significant number of employees and contractors participated in an illegal strike and did not respond to PT-FI's multiple summons to return to work. As a result, these workers were deemed to have voluntarily resigned pursuant to Indonesian laws and regulations. During second-quarter 2017, PT-FI took steps to mitigate the impacts of worker absenteeism, including producing from available mine and mill stockpiles and selling concentrate in inventory produced in first-quarter 2017. PT-FI is also taking steps to increase its workforce in order to restore normal operating rates.
In June 2017, production from the DMLZ underground mine, which is currently being developed, was impacted by mining-induced seismic activity. Mining-induced seismic activity is not uncommon in block cave mining. To mitigate the impact of these events, PT-FI has adjusted the DMLZ mine plans while it evaluates the appropriate start-up schedule. PT-FI expects DMLZ to ramp up to full capacity of 80,000 metric tons of ore per day in 2021, but at a slower pace than previous estimates.
PT-FI is also evaluating opportunities to mine a section of high-grade ore from the Grasberg open pit in 2018 and 2019 currently planned to be mined in future periods from the Grasberg Block Cave underground mine. These plans are expected to be evaluated through the remainder of 2017.
Indonesia's consolidated sales of 247 million pounds of copper and 427 thousand ounces of gold in second-quarter 2017 were higher than second-quarter 2016 sales of 196 million pounds of copper and 151 thousand ounces of gold, primarily reflecting the sale of concentrate in inventory and higher ore grades, partly offset by lower mill rates.

Assuming achieving planned operating rates for the second half of 2017, consolidated sales volumes from Indonesia mining are expected to approximate 1.0 billion pounds of copper and 1.6 million ounces of gold for the year 2017, compared with 1.1 billion pounds of copper and 1.1 million ounces of gold for the year 2016.
A significant portion of PT-FI's costs are fixed and unit costs vary depending on production volumes and other factors. Indonesia's unit net cash costs (including gold and silver credits) of $0.13 per pound of copper in second-quarter 2017 were lower than unit net cash costs of $1.20 per pound in second-quarter 2016, primarily reflecting higher gold and silver credits.
Assuming an average gold price of $1,250 per ounce for the second half of 2017 and achievement of current sales volume and cost estimates, unit net cash costs (net of gold and silver credits) for Indonesia mining are expected to approximate $0.13 per pound of copper for the year 2017. Indonesia mining's unit net cash credits for the year 2017 would change by approximately $0.05 per pound for each $50 per ounce change in the average price of gold. Because of the fixed nature of a large portion of Indonesia's costs, unit costs vary from quarter to quarter depending on copper and gold volumes.
Indonesia mining's projected sales volumes are dependent on a number of factors, including operational performance, workforce productivity, the timing of shipments and its ability to continue to export copper concentrate.

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 America and South America copper mines, is processed at FCX's conversion facilities.
Operating and Development Activities. In response to market conditions, the Henderson molybdenum mine continues to operate at reduced rates. Production from the Molybdenum mines totaled 8 million pounds of molybdenum in second-quarter 2017 and 7 million pounds in second-quarter 2016. Refer to summary operating data on page 3 for FCX's consolidated molybdenum sales, 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 $7.81 per pound of molybdenum in second-quarter 2017 approximated second-quarter 2016 costs. Based on current sales volume and cost estimates, unit net cash costs for the Molybdenum mines are expected to average approximately $7.85 per pound of molybdenum for the year 2017.
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, which are available on FCX's website, "fcx.com."

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 America and South America. Exploration spending continues to be constrained by market conditions and is expected to approximate $70 million for the year 2017, compared to $44 million in 2016.

CASH FLOWS, CASH and DEBT
Operating Cash Flows. FCX generated operating cash flows of $1.0 billion (including $144 million in working capital sources and changes in tax payments) in second-quarter 2017 and $1.8 billion (including $322 million in working capital sources and changes in tax payments) for the first six months of 2017.
Based on current sales volume and cost estimates, and assuming average prices of $2.65 per pound of copper, $1,250 per ounce of gold and $7.50 per pound of molybdenum for the second half of 2017, FCX's consolidated operating cash flows are estimated to approximate $3.8 billion for the year 2017 (including $0.6 billion in working capital sources and tax payments). The impact of price changes during the second half of 2017 on operating cash flows would approximate $180 million for each $0.10 per pound change in the average price of

copper, $40 million for each $50 per ounce change in the average price of gold and $40 million for each $2 per pound change in the average price of molybdenum. Refer to page 6 for discussion of Indonesian Regulatory Matters, which may have a significant impact on future results.
Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures totaled $362 million for second-quarter 2017 (including approximately $210 million for major mining projects) and $706 million for the first six months of 2017 (including approximately $420 million for major mining projects). Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $1.6 billion for the year 2017, including $0.9 billion for major mining projects, primarily for underground development activities at Grasberg.
As a result of regulatory uncertainty, PT-FI has slowed investments in its underground development projects. If PT-FI is unable to reach an agreement with the Indonesian government on its long-term mining rights, FCX intends to reduce or defer investments significantly in underground development projects and pursue arbitration under its COW.

ADJUSTED NET INCOME (LOSS)

Adjusted net income (loss) is intended to provide investors and others with information about FCX's recurring operating performance. This information differs from net income (loss) attributable to common stock determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (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 adjusted net income (loss) follows, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies (in millions, except per share amounts).

Represents income (loss) from continuing operations by geographic location before income taxes and equity in affiliated companies' net (losses) earnings.
b.
Includes net tax credits of $32 million for second-quarter 2017 and $31 million for the first six months of 2017 associated with anticipated recovery of alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards. The second quarter and first six months of 2016 includes net tax charges of $36 million associated with net operating loss carryback claims, partly offset by alternative minimum tax credits.
c.
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.
d.
In accordance with applicable accounting rules, FCX adjusts its interim provision for income taxes equal to its consolidated tax rate.
e.
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 $2.65 per pound for copper, $1,250 per ounce for gold and $7.50 per pound for molybdenum for the second half of 2017, FCX estimates its consolidated effective tax rate for the year 2017 will approximate 43 percent and would decrease with higher prices.

FREEPORT-McMoRan INC.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
During the first six months of 2017, FCX's mined copper was sold 55 percent in concentrate, 20 percent as cathode and 25 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 $2.57 per pound during second-quarter 2017, compared to FCX's average realized price of $2.65 per pound.
Following is a summary of the (unfavorable) favorable adjustments to prior periods' provisionally priced copper sales for the second quarters and first six months of 2017 and 2016 (in millions, except per share amounts):

At June 30, 2017, FCX had provisionally priced copper sales at its copper mining operations totaling 344 million pounds of copper (net of intercompany sales and noncontrolling interests) recorded at an average of $2.69 per pound, subject to final pricing over the next several months. FCX estimates that each $0.05 change in the price realized from the June 30, 2017, provisional price recorded would have an approximate $11 million effect on 2017 net income attributable to common stock. The LME spot copper price closed at $2.72 per pound on July 24, 2017.

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 net income attributable to common stock totaling $51 million in second-quarter 2017, $13 million in second-quarter 2016, $24 million for the first six months of 2017 and $11 million for the first six months of 2016. 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 $68 million at June 30, 2017. 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 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, Cerro Verde and Grasberg copper mines, the Rod & Refining operations and Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining.
FCX’s reportable segments previously included U.S. Oil & Gas operations. During 2016, FCX completed the sales of its Deepwater Gulf of Mexico, onshore California and Haynesville oil and gas properties, and in first-quarter 2017, completed the sale of its Madden property interests. The results of FCX's U.S. oil and gas operations have been included in Corporate, Other & Eliminations in the following tables.
Intersegment sales between FCX’s business segments 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, 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.

FREEPORT-McMoRan INC.
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 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 and (iv) it is the method used by FCX's management and Board 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, start-up costs, inventory adjustments, long-lived asset impairments, 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.
