General Information [Abstract] |
General Information | 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 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, 2021 (2021 Form 10-K). 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. All such adjustments are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. Sale of Investments. In second-quarter 2022, Koboltti Chemicals Holdings Limited (KCHL), a 56-percent-owned subsidiary of FCX, sold all of the shares it owned in Jervois Global Limited for proceeds of $60 million. The shares were received in connection with the 2021 sale of KCHL's remaining cobalt business. Subsequent Events. FCX evaluated events after September 30, 2022, and through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued, and determined any events and transactions occurring during this period that would require recognition or disclosure are appropriately addressed in these consolidated financial statements.
