The factory and others like Cliff Banks would have that flying in no time. The factory simply puts them back in the mould to repair them, easy peasy.

There are plenty of aircraft both composite and otherwise that have survived far worse than this crash and are flying again.

We had one that flew straight into the side of a shipping container at 50 knots. The only injury was a cut finger from the windscreen on disembarking. Another mate dropped full flap accidentally in a go around, the entire front of the aircraft literally fell off, including the firewall; she is back up and running again.
