Query about a 'perf stat' output

The 'perf stat' output for a certain executable is shown below.

I would like to know what the percentage values shown on the rightmost column in some of the rows mean.
Thank you.

It depends. Some seem to indicate the percentage of the CPU that the process is using. Others will indicate what percentage of cache hits don't find the data needed in the cache and so require reloading the data from memory (ram). You might want to read the man page for perf-stat for more information.
