Photinia Frost Damage

Hi all,
I planted my Photinia Red Robin hedge in November 2020 and thankfully it has thrived.
However, in the last week or so (since the frost) the leaves along the entire length of hedging has started looking like the photos attached.
I'm guessing that the answer may be in the question in that it is frost damage but is there anybody here who would be able to confirm that for me please?
Am I likely to lose these leaves? (I'm really hoping not considering it is the majority of leaves along my 30m of hedging but I'd rather know up front).
Any help or advice would be most welcome.
Thankyou

It's probable that your photinia has leaf spot and the recent frosts have made it look worse.
