Incentives Dictate Behavior™ analysis highlights positive signals for debt holders. FCX’s compensation framework incentivizes management to improve all three value drivers: sales, margins, and asset utilization, which should drive Uniform ROA improvement and lead to improved cash flows available for servicing obligations going forward. Meanwhile, most management members are material owners of FCX equity relative to their annual compensation, indicating they may be aligned with shareholders to pursue long-term value creation for the company. Lastly, management has low change-in-control compensation relative to their average annual compensation, indicating they may not be sufficiently incentivized to pursue a takeover or sale of the company, decreasing event risk for creditors.
