Morphology

earnings + report

The meaning 'a financial statement showing operating results' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'earnings' (financial gain) with 'report' (an informational account): it is simply a report about earnings. This is a straightforward compositional pattern common in English and other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would very likely infer the intended meaning (even if they might not grasp all technical accounting details).

Etymology

The noun earnings report comes from the everyday business habit of writing down how much money a company made over a set time. The word earnings means the money earned and report is a written statement, so the phrase means 'a document that shows a company's results'.
