a. | Revenues are attributed to countries based on the location of the customer.
Major Customers. Copper concentrate sales to PT Smelting totaled $1.8 billion (8 percent of FCX's consolidated revenues) in 2014, $1.7 billion (8 percent of FCX's consolidated revenues) in 2013 and $2.1 billion (11 percent of FCX's consolidated revenues) in 2012. Additionally, oil and gas sales to Phillips 66 Company totaled $2.5 billion (12 percent of FCX's consolidated revenues) in 2014. No other customer accounted for 10 percent or more of FCX's consolidated revenues. Refer to Note 6 for further discussion of FCX’s investment in PT Smelting. Labor Matters. As of December 31, 2014, 48 percent of FCX's labor force was covered by collective bargaining agreements, and 28 percent of FCX's labor force is covered by agreements that will expire within one year. Business Segments. FCX has organized its operations into six primary divisions – North America copper mines, South America mining, Indonesia mining, Africa mining, Molybdenum mines and U.S. oil and gas operations. FCX's U.S. oil and gas operations reflect the results of FM O&G beginning June 1, 2013. Operating segments that meet certain thresholds are reportable segments, which are disclosed separately in the following tables, and include the Morenci (included in North America copper mines), Cerro Verde (included in South America mining), Grasberg (Indonesia mining) and Tenke Fungurume (Africa mining) copper mines, the Rod & Refining operations and the U.S. oil and gas operations. Intersegment sales between FCX’s mining operations are based on similar arm's-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. FCX defers recognizing profits on sales from its mines to other divisions, including Atlantic Copper and on 25 percent of PT-FI's sales to PT Smelting, until final sales to third parties occur. Quarterly variations in ore grades, the timing of intercompany shipments and changes in product prices result in variability in FCX's net deferred profits and quarterly earnings. 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 and 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. North America Copper Mines. FCX has seven operating copper mines in North America – Morenci, Bagdad, Safford, Sierrita and Miami in Arizona, and Tyrone and Chino in New Mexico. The North America copper mines include open-pit mining, sulfide ore concentrating, leaching and SX/EW operations. A majority of the copper produced at the North America copper mines is cast into copper rod by FCX’s Rod & Refining operations. In addition to copper, certain of FCX's North America copper mines also produce molybdenum concentrates and silver. The Morenci open-pit mine, located in southeastern Arizona, produces copper cathodes and copper concentrates. In addition to copper, the Morenci mine also produces molybdenum concentrates. The Morenci mine produced 41 percent of FCX’s North America copper during 2014. South America Mining. South America mining includes two operating copper mines – Cerro Verde in Peru and El Abra in Chile. These operations include open-pit mining, sulfide ore concentrating, leaching and SX/EW operations. On November 3, 2014, FCX completed the sale of its 80 percent ownership interests in the Candelaria mine and the Ojos del Salado mine, both reported as components of other South America mines. South America mining includes the results of the the Candelaria and Ojos del Salado mines through the sale date. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion. The Cerro Verde open-pit copper mine, located near Arequipa, Peru, produces copper cathodes and copper concentrates. In addition to copper, the Cerro Verde mine also produces molybdenum concentrates and silver. The Cerro Verde mine produced 43 percent of FCX’s South America copper during 2014. Indonesia Mining. Indonesia mining includes PT-FI’s Grasberg minerals district that produces copper concentrates, which contain significant quantities of gold and silver. Africa Mining. Africa mining includes the Tenke minerals district. The Tenke operation includes surface mining, leaching and SX/EW operations and produces copper cathodes. In addition to copper, the Tenke operation produces cobalt hydroxide. Molybdenum Mines. Molybdenum mines include the wholly owned Henderson underground mine and Climax open-pit mine in Colorado. The Henderson and Climax mines produce high-purity, chemical-grade molybdenum concentrates, which are typically further processed into value-added molybdenum chemical products. Rod & Refining. The Rod & Refining segment consists of copper conversion facilities located in North America, and includes a refinery, three rod mills and a specialty copper products facility. These operations process copper produced at FCX’s North America copper mines and purchased copper into copper cathode, rod and custom copper shapes. At times these operations refine copper and produce copper rod and shapes for customers on a toll basis. Toll arrangements require the tolling customer to deliver appropriate copper-bearing material to FCX’s facilities for processing into a product that is returned to the customer, who pays FCX for processing its material into the specified products. Atlantic Copper Smelting & Refining. Atlantic Copper smelts and refines copper concentrates and markets refined copper and precious metals in slimes. During 2014, Atlantic Copper purchased approximately 21 percent of its concentrate requirements from the North America copper mines, approximately 21 percent from the South America mining operations and approximately 8 percent from the Indonesia mining operations at market prices, with the remainder purchased from third parties. Other Mining & Eliminations. Other mining and eliminations include the Miami smelter (a smelter at FCX's Miami, Arizona, mining operation), Freeport Cobalt (a cobalt chemical refinery in Kokkola, Finland), molybdenum conversion facilities in the U.S. and Europe, four non-operating copper mines in North America (Ajo, Bisbee and Tohono in Arizona, and Cobre in New Mexico) and other mining support entities. U.S. Oil & Gas Operations. FCX's U.S. oil and gas operations include oil production facilities in the Deepwater GOM, oil production facilities onshore and offshore California, onshore natural gas resources in the Haynesville shale play in Louisiana, natural gas production from the Madden area in central Wyoming, and a position in the shallow-water Inboard Lower Tertiary/Cretaceous natural gas trend on the Shelf of the GOM and onshore in South Louisiana. All of the U.S. operations are considered one operating and reportable segment. Financial Information by Business Segment
