a.Includes a credit of $31 million, primarily associated with completion of Cerro Verde’s 2016 tax audit. FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate was 36% for the first nine months of 2023 and 33% for the first nine months of 2022. A higher 2023 effective income tax rate primarily reflects the impact of pre-tax, nondeductible charges totaling $142 million for the first nine months of 2023 associated with contested tax rulings issued by the Peruvian Supreme Court. In addition, variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income result in fluctuations to FCX’s consolidated effective income tax rate. Because of its U.S. tax position, FCX does not record a tax impact for income or losses generated in the U.S. The provisions of the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the Act) became applicable to FCX on January 1, 2023. The Act includes, among other provisions, a new Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) of 15% on the adjusted financial statement income (AFSI) of corporations with average AFSI exceeding $1.0 billion over a three-year period. FCX has made interpretations of certain provisions of the Act, and based on these interpretations, determined that the provisions of the Act did not impact FCX’s financial results for the first nine months of 2023. There has been limited guidance released by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the Treasury) on how the CAMT provisions of the Act should be applied or otherwise administered, and uncertainty remains regarding their application. In October 2023, the Treasury stated publicly that it expects to issue proposed rules regarding the application of the CAMT by the end of 2023. Future guidance released by the Treasury may differ from FCX’s interpretations, which could be material and may further limit its ability to realize future benefits from its U.S. net operating losses.
