Morphology

rising + revenue

The meaning is directly derived from combining 'rising' (becoming larger or higher) with 'revenue' (money earned), so 'an increase in earnings' is immediately inferable. This adjective+noun compositional pattern is standard and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.

Etymology

The phrase rising revenue creates a simple picture: revenue, 'money a business earns', is rising, like a line going up on a chart. That's why it means 'an increase in the amount of money earned'.
