Google's losses are at most ~$2bn from the deal; depending on what they get our of the patents and R&D bits they're keeping.
In addition to the ~3bn from selling the phone division to Lenovo they got ~$2bn from the modem division, Motorola had ~$3bn of cash at the time of the acquisition, and lastly the operating losses/expenses they took while restructuring the company netted them about $2bn in tax writeoffs. Those collectively add up to ~10bn out of the ~12bn Google spent.
Lastly the rumor mill[^] says that selling Moto's phone division was part of a quid pro quo they made with Samsung to stop the latter from continuing to customize it's way towards a fork and bring its Android implementation back towards native. If true, that achievement itself is probably worth billions down the line.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
