The Component Sizing Summary and Equipment Summary in the table reports show the DX coil size as total capacity (sensible + latent) reported as W (or Btu/hr if requested). The zone load is reported as sensible energy to meet the zone thermostat set point temperature. Ventilation and Infiltration are included in the coil sizing if these OA components are included in the model. The coil is sized to meet the 'sensible' load, and then includes the DX coil 'SHR' and 'capacity as a function of temperature performance curve' to calculate the coil's 'total' capacity.

Update based on comment: The HVAC Sizing Summary report will show the values for User Design Air Flow. The indoor temperature and humidity ratio shown here does not include outdoor air, if OA is used, calculate a mixed air inlet condition using the OA fraction (OA flow/user design flow). Then use the mixed air condition to calculate coil inlet air density and enthalpy. The CatFT value is determined by entering the Indoor/Outdoor Temperature at Peak Load into the performance curve to find the value used in the coil sizing model.

The OA included in the coil sizing equation is the OA mixed with return air at the outdoor air system mixing box. This mixing of OA impacts the coil inlet air conditions. Infiltration will show up in the zone indoor conditions reported in HVAC Sizing Summary.
