Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 24, 2019, Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX) issued a press release announcing its fourth-quarter and year ended 2018 financial and operating results, referencing supplementary schedules, a copy of which was furnished with FCX's Current Report on Form 8-K (Item 2.02) filed on January 24, 2019. This amendment is being filed solely for the purpose of revising certain information as described herein.

Subsequent to issuing its January 24, 2019, press release and prior to filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, FCX determined that an adjustment is required related to the application of relevant accounting rules to reflect the impact on deferred tax liabilities of the change in PT Freeport Indonesia's (PT-FI's) statutory tax rates associated with its special mining license granted on December 21, 2018.

The adjustment to PT-FI's deferred tax liability increased fourth-quarter net income by $345 million and resulted in net income attributable to common stock totaling $485 million ($0.33 per share) in fourth-quarter 2018 and $2.6 billion ($1.78 per share) for the year 2018. The adjustment had no effect on net operating cash flows or fourth-quarter adjusted net income attributable to common stock of $161 million ($0.11 per share), as reported in FCX’s January 24, 2019, press release.

The impact of the adjustment is shown in the table below and is reflected in the revised supplemental schedules pages IV through VIII, which supersede and replace supplemental schedules pages IV through VIII of FCX’s January 24, 2019, press release. The revised pages of the supplemental schedules are included in Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

On January 24, 2019, FCX presented slides in connection with its fourth-quarter 2018 earnings conference call conducted via the internet on January 24, 2019, a copy of which was furnished with FCX’s Current Report on Form 8-K (Item 7.01) filed on January 24, 2019. The impact of the adjustment described in Item 2.02, which is incorporated by reference herein, is reflected in revised slides 23 and 33, which supersede and replace slides 23 and 33 presented by FCX on January 24, 2019. The revised slides are included in Exhibit 99.2 hereto. The adjustment had no effect on adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation (Adjusted EBITDA) as reported in FCX’s slides presented on January 24, 2019. Other than as described herein, the information included in FCX’s slides presented on January 24, 2019 remains unchanged.

ADJUSTED NET INCOME
Adjusted net income is intended to provide investors and others with information about FCX's recurring operating performance. This information differs from net income 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 follows, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies (in millions, except per share amounts).

a.	Reflects impact to FCX net income attributable to common stock (i.e., net of any taxes and noncontrolling interests).	
		
b.	Reflects net (charges) adjustments associated with disputed royalties at Cerro Verde for prior years. Net charges for the 2018 periods primarily reflect penalties and interest for the years 2009 through 2013 and consist of charges to production and delivery costs ( $14 million ), interest expense ( $363 million in fourth-quarter 2018 and $370 million for the year 2018) and other expense ( $22 million ), net of income tax benefits ( $28 million in fourth-quarter 2018 and $35 million for the year 2018) and noncontrolling interests ( $176 million ). Net charges for the year 2017 primarily reflect disputed royalties and related matters for prior years and consists of charges to production and delivery ( $203 million ), interest expense ( $145 million ) and income taxes ( $7 million ), net of noncontrolling interests ( $169 million ).	
		
c.	Reflects charges in production and delivery of $69 million for surface water tax disputes with the local regional tax authority in Papua, Indonesia, $32 million for assessments of prior period permit fees with Indonesia's Ministry of Environment and Forestry, $72 million for disputed payroll withholding taxes for prior years and other tax settlements, and $62 million to write-off certain previously capitalized project costs for the new Indonesian smelter. These charges were partly offset by inventory adjustments ( $43 million in fourth-quarter 2018 and $55 million for the year 2018).	
		
d.	Includes prior period depreciation expense at Freeport Cobalt that was suspended while it was classified as held for sale ( $48 million in fourth-quarter 2018 and $31 million for the year 2018), and other net charges to production and delivery ( $6 million in fourth-quarter 2018 and $8 million for the year 2018), selling, general and administrative expense ( $4 million ), interest expense ( $4 million ) and other expense ( $3 million ).	
		
e.	Primarily includes net charges in production and delivery costs ( $16 million in fourth-quarter 2017 and $7 million for the year 2017) and interest expense ( $8 million ). The year 2017 also includes net charges of $17 million in selling, general and administrative expense.	
		
f.	Reflects gains on sales of assets and adjustments to assets no longer classified as held for sale. Also includes fair value adjustments of $(45) million in fourth-quarter 2018 and $31 million for the year 2018 associated with potential contingent consideration related to the 2016 sale of onshore California oil and gas properties. FCX has realized $50 million in contingent consideration for 2018, which is expected to be received in 2019, and would receive additional contingent consideration related to this transaction consisting of $50 million per year for 2019 and 2020 if the price of Brent crude oil averages over $70 per barrel in each of these calendar years.	
		
g.	Refer to "Income Taxes" on page VIII , for further discussion of net tax credits.	
		
h.	Includes charges of $5 million in selling, general and administrative expenses.

a.	Represents income from continuing operations by geographic location before income taxes and equity in affiliated companies' net earnings.	
		
b.	Includes net tax credits for changes in valuation allowances totaling $9 million for the fourth quarter and year 2018 and $24 million for the fourth quarter and year 2017 . The year 2018 also includes a tax credit of $5 million associated with the settlement of a state income tax examination. The year 2017 also includes net tax credits of $21 million associated with alternative minimum tax (AMT) credit carryforwards, which are not related to the AMT credits resulting from U.S. tax reform that are presented separately in the above tables and described in footnote e.	
		
c.	Includes a tax charge of $29 million associated with adjustments to the calculation of transition tax resulting from recently released guidance by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.	
		
d.	Includes a tax credit of $20 million ( $17 million net of noncontrolling interest) for adjustment to PT-FI's historical tax positions.	
		
e.	The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act), which was enacted on December 22, 2017, included significant modifications to U.S. tax laws and created many new complex tax provisions. In December 2018, FCX completed its analysis of the Act and recognized benefits totaling $123 million ( $119 million net of noncontrolling interest) for the fourth quarter and year 2018 associated with AMT credit refunds. For the fourth quarter and year 2017, FCX recognized net tax credits associated with the Act totaling $393 million , reflecting the reversal of valuation allowances associated with anticipated refunds of AMT credits over the next four years ( $272 million ) and a decrease in corporate income tax rates ( $121 million ).	
		
f.	Reflects net tax credits (charges) for disputed royalties and other related mining taxes. Refer to the supplemental schedule, "Adjusted Net Income," on page VII, for a summary of charges related to disputed royalties at Cerro Verde.	
		
g.	Reflects a tax credit of $504 million ( $453 million net of noncontrolling interest) resulting from the reduction in PT-FI's statutory tax rates in accordance with the IUPK.	
		
h.	In accordance with applicable accounting rules, FCX adjusts its interim provision for income taxes equal to its consolidated tax rate.	
		
i.	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 $2.75 per pound for copper, $1,300 per ounce for gold and $12.00 per pound for molybdenum, FCX estimates its consolidated effective tax rate for the year 2019 would approximate 46 percent (comprised of an estimated effective rate of 0% on U.S. income, 38% on Indonesia income and 40% on South America income). Because of FCX’s U.S. tax position, it does not record a financial statement impact for income or losses generated in the U.S.; therefore, the consolidated effective rate is generally higher than the international rates at lower copper prices and lower than international rates at higher prices.

(2) Other net charges primarily include PT-FI charges ($192 mm in 4Q18 and $180 mm for the year 2018). The year 2018 also includes charges of $69 mm for Cerro Verde’s new three-year Collective Labor Agreement, and $57 mm for net adjustments to environmental obligations and litigation reserves. For further discussion of net charges, refer to "Adjusted Net Income" on page VII in the supplemental schedules of FCX’s 4Q18 press release, which are available on FCX’s website. (3) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, lenders and others to evaluate companies’ performance, including, among other things, profitability before the effect of financing and similar decisions. Because securities analysts, investors, lenders and others use Adjusted EBITDA, management believes that our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA affords them greater transparency in assessing our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, as different companies calculate such measures differently. * Adjusted subsequent to issuance of FCX’s fourth-quarter 2018 press release and earnings call slides on January 24, 2019.
