How does power add up in a Toyota hybrid?

Many times (and I am not able to find a single example right now) I read about the, say, Prius, it is claimed the total HP produced is 70 (engine) + 44 (electric motor) = 114. But then I see the following quote in https://blog.lexus.co.uk/history-lexus-hybrid-drive/ :

Quote:
Combining the 211PS output of the petrol engine together with 167PS and 68PS from the front and rear hybrid transaxles respectively delivered a total system output of 272PS.
Well, given 211, 167, and 68, the closest I can get to 272 is by adding petrol engine to rear hybrid transaxle power ratings. So either I can't do math or...?
