Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'operating' (relating to operations or the running of a business) modifies 'statement' (a document reporting accounts), so it denotes a document reporting operational financial results. This follows a standard modifier + noun pattern and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can reasonably infer the meaning.
Etymology
Operating statement comes from the simple idea that operating means 'how the business runs' and statement means 'a written record'. So it is like a business 'report card' showing money coming in, money going out, and whether the company made a profit or loss during that time.
