Morphology
The compound is directly compositional: 'income' (money received) + 'statement' (a document) yields a document reporting income. Although detailed accounting specifics are technical, a B1 learner who knows both words will reasonably infer it is a report of a company's earnings over a period.
Etymology
Income statement comes from its parts: income, meaning money that comes in, and statement, meaning a clear list. It is a report that shows money in and money out so you can see 'profit' or 'loss' over a set time, so the name matches its meaning.
