BED tool output

Hello all

I am new to this group and I am primarily a clinician.I have got a BED tool output as a part of a project. I am trying to understand this. Will be grateful for your help.

Number of bases with coverage more than 0: 99.03%
Mean depth of coverage for bases with coverage more than 0: 168.29X

My understanding of the above is that there has been 99.03% coverage of the reference genome and each base has been on an average sequenced 168.29X?

Am I right in understanding this way?

Many Thanks

Regions defined in the BED file (not the reference genome) are ~99% covered (must be a targeted sequencing type dataset). The mean depth of coverage is 168x.
