The financial statements of these companies boggle my mind sometimes. In addition to Google's, I saw this bit on Microsoft's today:

> Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $426 and $335

What they're saying is, that's $426 million dollars they're owed that they expect to not get, because of defaults and deadbeat customers. And it's just a line item!

They aren't the only ones. Apple Reports Fourth Quarter Results : http://images.apple.com/newsroom/pdfs/Q4FY16DataSummary.pdf

And so on.

There are old, large, non-tech companies that do this as well https://corporate.ford.com/content/dam/corporate/en/investor...
