used to say that sth is possibly true but not definitely or always true
Examples:
The more expensive articles are not necessarily better.
Biggest doesn't necessarily mean best.
‘We're going to lose.’ ‘Not necessarily.’

It means "I don't agree with this in all possible cases." or "I might agree with this only if X happens or Y changes." As Nico pointed out, sometimes native speakers will use the word "necessarily" in a flippant manner, but that isn't always (or even often) the case. You won't always necessarily know whether the speaker really meant 'necessarily' or not. :)

Hi
It simply means the speaker does not agree with something. The "necessarily" is not needed, but commonly used.
