Yes its repairable. At a cost although I'm not in a position to say what that may be.
If you want it repaired so it doesn't look like it happened at all then that will be expensive. Its the finishing that will cost money.
For that type of damage to occur, it must have fallen directly onto the bridge - very bad luck, indeed. The first thing you must do is to slacken off all the strings. The pull of string tension on a weakened front can easily cause even worse damage. As AnthonyG says, a repair can be made, and the uke could function very well, but it would always bear the scars. Refinishing to perfect condition is not a financially viable option.
It is possible that, with a good repair, the sound of your uke will not be badly affected. It might even be improved! They are ornery critters.
You have to balance the cost of the repair against that of replacement.

Yes, you should reduce tension on the strings immediately. And then find a luthier to get an estimate for repair. It may be cheaper (or at least more reassuring) to replace it. Fortunately, there are similar Ponos available. Sorry to see that.
Sound advice, pardon the pun. You can try to sell the damaged one (not to me) to some one who is willing to take a chance on repairing it, covering some of the replacement cost.Yes, you should reduce tension on the strings immediately.

- get yourself some Titebond (I think that’s the name) glue and try fixing it yourself. The glue can be removed if you need a second shot at it. You’ll need to figure a way to hold it in place while glue dries.
