Morphology
The meaning 'an official document showing financial position' is directly derivable from combining 'financial' (connected with money) and 'statement' (a document or record). This noun–noun compound follows a standard compositional pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Financial statement comes from the image of a paper that 'states' a company's money story: statement is a clear 'telling' and financial means about money. So, the phrase means an official document that 'shows' how much money a company has and what it did with it.
